Chef Barb Batiste currently operates a Big Boi restaurant and B Sweet dessert shop in the Sawtelle Japantown district of West Los Angeles.
Batiste plans to open the new Big Boi food cart “very soon” at the Anaheim outdoor shopping mall next to Disneyland and Disney California Adventure, according to an Instagram post by the restaurant.
“We are so excited to feed you,” Big Boi wrote on Instagram. “We will be offering classic savory and sweet flavors served with our signature dipping sauces.”
The Big Boi food cart at Downtown Disney will offer four types of lumpia: Shanghai, vegan, ube and dessert.
Big Boi sells 13-piece cups of lumpia for $10 to $14 at the West L.A. restaurant.

While the Downtown Disney launch menu will focus on lumpia, the Big Boi cart may offer a few additional specialty items from time to time.
The West L.A. restaurant menu includes chicken adobo, pork sisig, homemade spam, pancit noodles, pan de sal and dessert.
Big Boi’s ube, pandan and ensaymada butters won’t be sold when the Downtown Disney cart first opens, but the flavored spreads may be available in the future.
Big Boi will occupy a new cart at Downtown Disney rather than replace an existing location.

Big Boi fans are already predicting long lines for the Downtown Disney cart when it opens.
“Going to do our best to get through our lines quickly,” Big Boi wrote on Instagram. “We don’t want people to have to wait too long to enjoy their lumpia.”
Big Boi’s B Sweet desserts have been sold at Earl of Sandwich locations in Downtown Disney and the Palms Casino in Las Vegas.
B Sweet collaborated with Pixar on a line of Elemental-themed desserts tied to the release of the 2023 animated movie with treats based on the elements of earth, fire, water and air.
