About East Side King:  East Side King began in a food trailer behind the Liberty Bar, on Austin’s East Side, in October 2009. Co-founded by chefs Paul Qui and Moto Utsunomiya, East Side King was inspired by Asian cultures, blues and jazz bands, and artists (like the amazing artist Peelander Yellow, from the Japanese punk band Peelander-Z). Now with four locations including two food trucks and brick-and-mortars, East Side King offers different menus, styles, hours and vibes all across Austin.
