I have had some absolutely amazing pad thai recently from here. They give you generous portions so I always have leftovers the next day. The service is fast and the couple here is super friendly. So happy that my fiancé and I have found our new favorite local thai spot!

Got the Chk Pad Thai, Shrimp Basil Fried Rice, and Crab Fried Rice. All amazing, especially the basil fried rice. Shrimp is the best I've ever had (and big, which is rare). I've been a few times now and it's my favorite thai in Austin. Consistent, great flavor, and the owner seems like a great guy. Gonna go down from "thai spicy" to regular "spicy" next time. Love this place!

Went to Austin for a training and came across this wonderful food truck owned by a couple and when I tell you the service was TOP tier it was! Food was so good I came back the next day for more. I ordered the Tom Kha, Basil fried rice, crab fried rice and house fried rice.

Best idea ever to try this place out. Usually food trucks don't taste as good as restaurants in my opinion but this place proved me wrong. It was actually one of the best Thai food I've had in Austin! I love how wide their noodles were and the flavoring was just perfect. Not too salty and not soggy at all like some of the comments said. Pineapple fried rice was also great. Good service, very quick to get our food. This food truck is located in a parking lot with other food trucks (next to sushi Dawa). There are a few seats. Good to go for a quick bite or if you wish to take your fur baby with you.

Tried this place for the first time tonight. I got the basil fried rice with added pork and it exceeded my expectations. They really managed to cook out the fragrance and flavors of the onions and basil, better than some Thai restaurants I've been to. The pork was surprisingly tender. I got medium spicy but it wasn't too bad at all; judging by other reviews, they probably run on the milder side. They seem quite popular because it took ~40 minutes to get my order that was placed on a Thurs night at 6:30pm. The guy taking the orders mentioned they had 18 online orders before me. Took one star off because he was a bit rude and seemed more interested in giving his spiel on how the food is all handmade rather than providing some sort of estimate on expected wait time. Good option on a slower day when the weather is nice.
