My husband is saving his chicken friend rice for tomorrow, but the drunken noodles are delicious! Love the extra vegetables and the spice on level 3!

The Pad Kra Pao is my favorite, but all the food that I tried is great, including the chicken fried rice, the egg rolls and the crab rangoon. Great food and great service. Highly recommended.

Appreciate the green and red sauces and this is one of the best food trucks. BUT- at this price point, add cheese and fresh limes. I will not return to a bar that serves a drink with a soiled lime-- and I won't reorder from a food truck who dumps their old limes in my to-go meal.
