Diner Review №1

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.

Diner Review №2

Summer Drink; Thai pink milk (Thai fruit syrup mixed with whole milk and half & haft)
Grilled Chicken , beef, shrimp, or pork marinated with Thai sauce

Some of the best Pad Thai in Austin, and reasonable prices. This is our new favorite place!

Diner Review №6

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.

Diner Review №7

The pineapple fried rice absolutely slaps.

Diner Review №8

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.

Diner Review №9

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.

The Street Fried rice is delicious! Hot and flavorful, was ready in less than 10 minutes and decently priced.

Diner Review №12

My review is solely based on the Green Lemonade Ice Tea. It was delicious! Not too sweet, and I added boba to mine. So good!

Diner Review №13

Diner Review №14

Food is so good best thai in ausitn but best to take order to go or you will have to deal with the flies

Diner Review №15

The food was delicious. I got the Thai red Curry and pork spring rolls. I’ll be back.

Diner Review №16

The yellow curry was.. different. I grew to like it actually but there were very little veggies or chicken..

Diner Review №17

Diner Review №18

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.

Diner Review №19

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

Diner Review №20

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?

Diner Review №21

Always be my favorite Thai place

Diner Review №22

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… 😢

Diner Review №24

The food taste wise was ok. Everything else is bad. It’s dirty packaging, hairs on my utensils, dust in my food. This was so unclean to eat I had to bite my tongue and spit it out. Ordered a $5 Thai tea most of it was ice. Do not come here.

Diner Review №25

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.

Diner Review №26

The Pad Kee Mao at a level 4 spice with shrimp is ah-mazing!

Diner Review №27

Diner Review №28

This place never misses, the best Thai food I’ve had in Austin.

Diner Review №29

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.

Diner Review №31

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.

Diner Review №32

The red curry was thin and very mildly flavored. The sauce had broken from overheating.

Diner Review №33

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.

Diner Review №34

Diner Review №35

Tom yum soup is good. But expect the smallest bit of chicken in ur dishes.. and took hella long for food. Pad Thai fine. Don't order curry, it is water. Bad

Diner Review №36

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!

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.

Diner Review №43

Best Thai food I’ve had in Austin so far and the owners were so nice!

Diner Review №44

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!

Diner Review №45

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. :)
