“ The man taking my order was very kind and polite and even offered to walk our food out to us because it was so hot out! Amazing food and amazing thoughtfulness from this food truck, definitely recommend them ”
“ This truck is in such a nice food truck park! I ordered the chicken pad Thai. You can choose the protein and spice level. The owner recommended going for the mild option, and Im glad I listened. I enjoy spicy food but also deal with acid reflux, so I thought mild was the perfect amount of spicy. The only thing that was missing was the cilantro. Overall, it was one of the better pad Thais Ive tried. ”
“ food is heavenly and really good value. the vegetables are super fresh and splendid. all ingredients are high quality. The staff is so nice and is very focused on customer satisfaction. also if you ask for just a plain bowl of rice, they give it to you for free. ”
“ Really great pineapple fried rice. Spice level was dead on. The whole food truck park is a great find for lunch. ”
“ The thai food here is delicious and authentic. The people who work there have exceptional service. Although it is a food truck, they made sure to check on us, that everything was good, and we had what we needed. We got pad thai and tom kha. Both were great and it will probably be my new go to thai place. I also like that their spicy levels go from none to as spicy as you want. We got mild and it was literally perfect for us just a hint of spice. Def check it out! ”
