From busboy
to Barry Larry.
Barry Teng — better known as "Barry Larry," or "The Fried Rice King" — started in restaurants as a busboy at 14 and worked his way up to hibachi chef at Fuji and N to Tail here in Portland. He built a following selling food out of his dorm at St. Joseph's College, then spent years catering events and pop-ups before launching the truck.
Since debuting in June 2023, Barry Larry's has become a fixture at Portland-area festivals, private events, and a regular food partner at Absolem Cider Company — bringing Korean street food and Hawaiian comfort dishes to every stop.

Tricks.
Fried rice tossed
higher than
your expectations.
Barry doesn't just cook hibachi — he performs it. Onion volcanoes, flying shrimp, terrible-on-purpose jokes, and flames right at your table. Book it for a birthday, an anniversary, or just because a backyard cookout deserved an upgrade.
Real parties. Real fire. Real fun.
Barry doesn't just show up and cook — he becomes part of the party. A few nights from recent private hibachi bookings.
