Our Reno-based vendor network showcases trucks that roll up ready to serve buttery garlic knots, creamy fettuccine Alfredo, hearty Bolognese, and cannoli that rival Nonna’s.

We hired Wok and Roll food truck to cater our wedding, and it was fantastic! We got so many compliments about the food from our guests, and the service was spectacular! Our favorites were the pot stickers and the crab cakes. All of the food was delicious, but those two items really knocked it out of the park. We also appreciate Ryan's punctuality, professionalism, and great attitude during the wedding. This event would not have been the same without Wok and Roll!

We hired them for our wedding a couple of days ago. They were punctual, communitive, and accommodating. The shrimp crab cakes, and crab ragoon rolls were delicious. The lumpia seemed to have been cooked multiple times, but still tasted fine. We are sad that they didn't have the pork belly, as was stated on the menu we were provided for our event, but what they did have was great! Just gives us a reason to come try out their actual restaurant! Thanks again, you guys made our special day a tasty one too. :)

The sauce was just the right amount of sweet, the combination of the crispy crust and warm melted cheese was perfect and the pepperoni added a nice spice to round it out. 😋yum

I ordered the Lemonade cupcake. I loved the balance between the sweet of the icing and the sour of the lemon! It was so delicious!!!
