I came to this area for another food option but quickly found out why I needed to be here. The Pad Thai was everything. The flavor and portion is priceless. This is the best Thai food I have had. My son loved the pork dish as well. If you love tai food this is where you want to be.
I ordered coconut shrimp and Panang curry with beef and added shrimp. Coconut shrimp was ok, breaded a bit heavy but ok. The curry tasted okay but was not satisfactory. Consistency was thin and watery; mostly green beans- likely out of a can. Beef was tough and chewy - probably cut from shin. It was like shavings so thin that it curled up and was hard. Honestly a McDonald’s beef patty would have been more satisfying.
The food is actually fantastic! Portions are on the smaller end and like some other reviews mention there’s not a lot of your protein of choice in the dish. I got the noodles with bell peppers.
I’m not sure if I caught them at a bad time, but service took over 45mins to come out.
Gross overpriced pad thai served with cabbage (?) and no bean sprouts. Greasy, one-note noodles tasting oddly closer to tomato sauce than pad thai sauce. 6 pieces of thin chicken pieces. $5 thai iced tea with old, dry boba abd mostly ice.
Tried for the first time - I was very skeptical as I am with most Asian food in Texas but the shrimp pad see yew was excellent. The shrimp was cooked perfectly - not at all dry and very flavorful. Will definitely order again and try other things.
I didn't like the Thai iced tea - very very sweet but it was interesting to try it.

Good food and good people
Some of the best Pad Thai in Austin, and reasonable prices. This is our new favorite place!
Wow the food is good. Reminds me of being in Thailand. It's a food truck so you will probably want to get it to go.
The pineapple fried rice absolutely slaps.

The Street Fried rice is delicious! Hot and flavorful, was ready in less than 10 minutes and decently priced.
Food is so good best thai in ausitn but best to take order to go or you will have to deal with the flies
The food was delicious. I got the Thai red Curry and pork spring rolls. I’ll be back.
The yellow curry was.. different. I grew to like it actually but there were very little veggies or chicken..
Panang curry was very thin and watery without good flavor. Tasted like they don't even use coconut milk. Asked for no carrots, but they put in plenty of carrots. I love really spicy food, and asked for 6 out of 5 thai hot, but had to ask for more spice twice to get it decent for me. Other people's reviews say it is too spicy for them, so I'm probably different in this respect. They didn't have ground chili powder to help spice it either, which is usually the hallmark of an authentic thai place.
Basil and bacon fried rice are both amazing. Pad thai also slaps. My go to comfort food when I get off work and need some flavor to finish the end of my day
We ordered a mango boba with black boba
The guy gave us a different color boba
After seeing it was a green one, we went back and asked for black boba. They said we don’t have any
Then why did you accept the order?
Always be my favorite Thai place
Ordered their M1 Tom Yum Soup with shrimp. Indeed, there was only one shrimp 🦐
When I came back to bring it back to their attention, the guy decided to argue with me insisting there were 4 shrimps instead of one, his attitude will certainly not get him more customers, a let down for the Austin food experience… 😢

The Pad Kee Mao at a level 4 spice with shrimp is ah-mazing!
This place never misses, the best Thai food I’ve had in Austin.

Tried the yellow curry, egg rolls and pad thai… did not disappoint at all. The curry could have been a tad spicier, but aside from that everything was delicious 10/10.
The red curry was thin and very mildly flavored. The sauce had broken from overheating.
Quick, efficient , and tasty food! I had the massaman curry, and they do the thinly sliced carrots right and don't short you on the meat.
They have gluten-free sauce and can make almost everything GF. AND it's so good!! Had to write this review after taking the first few bites. I've been missing good gf thai food for so long! This place and the people who run it deserve the best! Can't wait to be back!
Good portions, but hardly any flavor to the food. Nice folks working, I may try the curry next time.
I am a fan of Thai food and this truck did not disappoint. I've had a variety or options from their menu. All have been good to great, with the chicken wings being surprisingly delicious. The portions have been good. I've taken leftovers to go each time. I look forward to returning and trying the rest of the menu.
Best Thai food I’ve had in Austin so far and the owners were so nice!
I lived in Thailand for 6 years and I've tried the yellow curry and pad thai, super good! If you want it spicier you can ask for it. Spring rolls are great too!
The BEST papaya salad and the sweetest, most friendly customer service. Thank you Nate and Tuk!
The folks next to us had two of the friend rices and were raving about their dishes. :)
Amazing food with very friendly service. The taste is authentic and the spicy is just right 👌🏼 I usually stop by every week!
Super fire food here, talked to the guy here and he the real deal Thai man.
