Thai Gourmet Food Truck — Restaurant in Pittsburgh

I don't usually write reviews for food establishments but this food truck is just so good that I have to. I've tried the majority of the items on the menu, and each one was extremely tasty. My personal favorites are the pad thai, satay chicken, and the pineapple curry. The food is authentic, and the owner is extremely generous with portion sizes. A small entree, which costs $8, is already a lot of food. Large entrees are only a dollar more ($9) and, for most people, are enough for at least two meals. All entrees even come with a complementary bag of potato chips.

The owner, Tim, is also probably one of the nicest and sweetest human beings ever. He serves customers every day with a genuine smile on his face and also remembers all the regular customers. He even gave me a Thai iced tea (which I'd also strongly recommend!) for free one time because there were extra.

Overall, the Thai Gourmet Food Truck gets a 5/5 in all of my main metrics of taste, value, and service. If you haven't already, please give this place a try.

update: rest in peace Tim. I'll never forget the kindness...

Generous portions, college-kid affordable prices, and good flavor--what more can you ask for?

The Thai Gourmet food truck provides you with enough food to stretch out into two or even three meals for just $5 for a "medium" and $6 for a "large." The prices are very cheap and the food tastes good. This isn't fine dining, but if you're looking for a tasty bite to eat on a budget during lunch in Oakland, it's hard to beat this.

On top of all of that, the guy who runs the truck is super nice. Sometimes he even gives out free bonus sides or desserts just because. I bet he's the kind of guy who gives out full-sized Snickers bars to kids on Halloween. I've been here many times, and I will certainly...

Pad Thai is excellently seasoned with great heat, chicken or veg are the best choices imo. Price is also fantastic - a small is like 700 calories for $6. Having a la carte peanuts and hot sauce is amazing and should be the norm in every Thai place. 4 stars only because they ran out of the other noodle types and drinks about halfway through the day - will happily revise later.

Update: Pad Kee Mow is arguably better than the pad Thai. First time I've actually tasted the Thai basil in any one of these dishes, awesome taste. Noodles have great, chewy consistency too. Just make sure to arrive before 12:15 if don't want a 30...
