Zapp Thai food truck — Restaurant in Goleta

This Thai food truck is hands-down my favorite spot in Goleta. The menu is small but packed with bold, authentic flavors — real street food vibes done right. Every dish I’ve tried has been spot-on, with generous portions and fair pricing. Nui and Buck are super friendly and welcoming, which just adds to the charm. Service is always quick, and they’ve got the confidence to set up near a brewery — which is perfect, because grabbing a cold beer while I wait makes the experience even better. If you’re in the area and craving great Thai food without the fuss, this is a must-visit.

Came here one evening to get noodles and wings. The pad Thai was phenomenal and the drunken noodles were great. I feel like a lot of the other Thai places I’ve been to Santa Barbara lack a bit of flavor in their noodles but these were spot on.

The wings were so good. Crispy skin and great sauce. To add on the service was quick and very friendly. They also bring the food inside to make your brewery experience fantastic. Highly recommend! Just wish they had a yummy green curry...

Not only is the food great, well priced and made with intention. The owners are amazing and committed to making authentic, flavorful and unique takes on traditional Thai dishes. They serve meals from different regions of Thailand with passion and knowledge. Just a heads up these are the people who own empty bowl and wabi sabi in public market. Major street cred right there. PS the beer is super...
