Quick service, good food, bit expensive, convenient pickup after a surf session in the area, wish they had an even spicier option thoughedit: there is a thai spicy option and it's pretty hot actually!

By far the best Thai food I have gotten to eat outside of Thailand, perhaps even including my experience in Thailand!It’s a shame I won’t be able to bring this food truck with me when I go back

Food was so so good. I went back a second time. Then I had it a second time and my meat was all fat and less good. I also paid extra for shrimp and I got four shrimp.

Really delicious! I disagree with other reviews, the portions were plenty and $16 for most. I don’t know where others are eating but that’s how much food costs these days. We have leftovers waiting for us today and I’m excited to eat the food again. I ordered online and it was waiting for me when I arrived. Would definitely visit again! Thanks!!

The owner of this restaurant replied to my review saying that cooking my food meant that I owe them a gratuity. These people are scammers who don’t understand the difference between the front of the house, and the back of the house who steal from their customers by adding on ghost charges. THIEF. How dare they.I am disgusted. They should be collecting money for Maui not stealing from their customers. Karma never forgets though??Automatic 10% gratuity when we order from a computer? Than you have the audacity to prompt us for our own choice of tip that does not adjust the original tip, but adds to that 10%??? You think you deserve the same amount of grat that are server who spends an hour+ serving a table • when you give no direct service at all? Literally, you don’t even hand us our chopsticks, we grab them ourselves. $20 for average pad Thai is something I can live with but literally, knowingly charging me for something I didn’t receive? Well, that’s fraud honey. Chicken dry as hell too??‍♀️

Great little thai food truck next to a gas station. Their Chix Pad Thai is the best on North Shore! Don't expect to eat here though, unless you want to eat in your car and inhale gasoline fumes. Grab dinner and head to Sunset Beach (walking distance) for sunset!

The food is legit. Great balance of authentic flavors. Can't find one item on the menu that doesn't exceed expectations. The vegetarian and vegan options are more than the usual after thought. This truck is a must try.Vegetarian options: Vegan pad thai and larb are just as good as the non vegan options.Kid-friendliness: If not really a kid friendly menu but they will make something off menu to accommodate.Parking: Lots off parking on site.

Pad Thai was awesome!!! They were having internet issues so only took cash or case app for a bit. Normally they take card. Get lunch and walk across to beach access to watch the surfers.

I recently went this food truck owned by Kevin, and it was a complete nightmare. Not only did the food taste like greasy garbage, but I also discovered that there were hidden charges automatically added to my bill, even though I had already given a 15% tip. And to make matters worse, Kevin was incredibly rude and had the worst customer service I have ever experienced. Save yourself the trouble and avoid this food truck at all costs!

Curry was excellent. Took away a star because automatic gratuity is unreasonable for a food truck.

I was on my way to the airport when I stopped at this food truck. My brother ordered his food and then I ordered mine. My brothers came out pretty quickly and I waited for several minutes to the point my brother was nearly finished with his food. I watched several people who ordered after me get their food. I went up to the food truck to inquire about about my food. I simply asked how much longer my food was going to be. The cook grabbed my ticket and asked if I was mike. He then through the ticket in my direction and told me he was going to refund me. At first I thought I was going to still get my food but get refunded for the extended time. The cook then tossed a $20 bill on the counter and told me he was not making my food. I highly recommend avoiding this place.
