MEET THE FRIED RICE KING

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.

  • Trained hibachi chef — Fuji & N to Tail, Portland
  • Serving Portland & Greater Maine since 2023
  • Food truck, full catering, and private hibachi — one chef, three ways to book
