Fantastic food!! The wings are some of the best I've ever had in Austin. The owner was very friendly and explained the best way to experience his dishes. The chef's favorite was Amazing! Can't wait to try more read more

I ordered an apsara nom pahng sandwich from here the other day and really enjoyed it. I can only compare it to a banh mi, but I'm sure there are differences I'm unaware of. This sandwich was filled with veggies and lemongrass pork. The bread itself was delicious and perfectly crunchy on the outside. They have some outdoor tables with umbrellas. I think you can also sit in the plant store or closer to the coffee truck that also has seating. The man in the truck was also super friendly. Don't sleep on this one! read more

Blue Apsara - Cambodian Near Me - Austin, Texas

Blue Apsara Cambodian Food Truck on S. Lamar is a great introduction to Cambodian food as it's known for its bold flavors. The menu features classic dishes like lok lak, Cambodian curry, and stir-fried noodles, all seasoned deeply with lemongrass, garlic, and fermented sauces. Important to note, food items are reasonably priced. I decided to get the egg rolls as this was the first time trying Cambodian food. The egg rolls blew my socks off. They were thinner than a standard egg roll with tissue paper thin shell. The egg rolls were filled with vegetables and meats as well as exploding with flavor. I think these are the best egg rolls I recall eating! The food truck setup is located near a plant and coffee shop. There is some seating at picnic tables nearby. What an unexpected treat! Kim, the food truck manager was super nice and personable. Now, I'm ready to try a more extensive Cambodian meal read more

I got to try this place out during the Lao Night Market event this year. I got their prahok ktis. It was my first time trying Cambodian food but it was very tasty. Curry forward and you can taste the coconut milk sweetness. Came with rice and veggies--which paired nicely The egg rolls were pretty standard. Didn't stand out too much in comparison but not bad. read more

If you enjoy bold Southeast Asian flavors, you should visit this place. I've tried everything on the menu and loved it all. They offer several options, but every dish is like a comforting home-cooked meal. My favorites are the Papaya Salad, the Cambodian Beef Sticks, and Prahok Ktis. They are a small, family-owned business that is very kind and thoughtful. I love coming here to get takeout. There are also some picnic tables and seating inside the plant shop if you prefer to eat there. read more

This meal did NOT disappoint!! I wish I could eat it every day. My husband and I shared the Taste of Cambodia and it was the perfect amount of food - we didn't finish it all, but every bite was absolutely delicious. The owner gave us tips on how best to enjoy which was super nice. We sat at the picnic tables nearby and didn't wait long at all for our food. Will definitely come back again and again for the egg rolls and Prahok K'tis was my favorite -- so flavorful!! read more

I love supporting small businesses especially when they are serving such delicious food in a cuisine that you really don't find here in Austin! Blue apsara is an incredible Cambodian food truck that serves authentic and delicious food! It is located next to a plant shop where there are a couple tables to enjoy your food (if you choose not to drive it back home!) I highly recommend ordering the taste of Cambodia as we were able to sample the greatest hits the food truck has to offer! It came with egg rolls, which were cooked perfectly crispy and was accompanied with sweet and spicy sauce! It also came with the beef sticks, which the beef was marinated perfectly and went so good with the rice. The Khmer-Lao sausage was also incredibly done! The star of the meal though, was the Prahok K'tis which is a very authentic Cambodian dish. This alone is worth trying! It's spicy and funky in the best way possible. We also tried Nom Pahng Pate, which is similar to a Banh Mi! It was really good and I enjoyed the pate that was inside! Overall, please come and support this incredible food truck!!! There's not a lot of Cambodian places in Austin, so it really is a hidden gem in trying new cuisines from all around the world! read more

Blue Apsara - Number 11 - Cambodian Near Me - Austin, Texas

Opened up the yelp map last night so my husband could pick up food in that area and stumbled across Blue Apsara. I was thrilled because I've never had Cambodian food and thought I was half Thai my whole life until my DNA test. Mom's DNA came back 65% Cambodian. Anyway there are Thai dishes that people like that turn out to be more Laotian or Cambodian or from the Isan region of Thailand where food is spicier. That being said we were not disappointed with the food we had last night. I ordered the combo plate, Weeping Tiger I think it's called, and the papaya salad with medium spice. Medium is super spicy! I wanted to shovel it in my mouth but the spice wouldn't allow that. I also took a huge bite of the weeping tiger sauce on a cucumber slice. Woohoo! Don't do that unless you can handle the heat! Absolutely delicious though. So when ordering keep in mind there's American palate medium spice and Cambodian. My husband also mentioned several times how nice the owners are. So if you're into spice or Thai food, run to Blue Apsara. If you feel dead inside, eat something spicy from here to reignite your heart. read more

Extremely high quality despite a relatively large menu in a food truck. Not sure how they do it, but wow. Ordered online at dinner time on a Saturday and arrived earlier than the scheduled time, could see that they were juggling a bunch of orders at once, but they still managed to finish mine early so that I didn't have to wait long (got my food 10 min ahead of schedule). Friendly service despite the rush and most importantly the food was incredible. Will be back frequently! read more

Since getting to Austin, I had not been able to find Cambodian food, until a few days ago, when I noticed the Blue Apsara food truck when I was driving on South Lamar. Today, I had lunch there, and it satisfied my craving. I had spring rolls and the fish amok. Both were excellent. The owner, Kim, is very friendly and was happy to make recommendations, though I arrived knowing what I wanted. The food wash fresh and met my taste expectations. There is ample seating both outdoors (it was a perfect day for that) and inside the plant store that shares the parking lot. I hope that the food truck will be such a success that they will eventually move to brick and mortar which will allow them to broaden their offerings. In the meantime, I will eat here often. As an added bonus, Desnudo is also in the parking lot. Not only was the miso brown sugar latte delicious, but it seems that Austin has the nicest baristas west of the Mississippi, if not in the whole country. read more

JUST saw this new food truck at Mary and South Lamar (right by the urban motorsports shop, on the right if heading south). It's about a mile south from the river/downtown. Cambodian options are extremely limited in this town so I was thrilled and I immediately made an order and was not disappointed! First I will say that the food here is extremely tidy. Perfectly formed and "neat" presentation. I ordered the eggrolls which were perfectly formed thumb sized crunchy Yummies. I got the Nom Pahng pate sandwich which is one of two "banh mi adjacent" sandwiches they offer. It was fresh and the tasty and the baguette was perfect, which is a real feat considering it is pissing rain right now. I also got the weeping tiger steak which is nice chunks of steak and a great dipping sauce. It's the most simple of the dishes I ordered but tasty and solid. I look forward to trying out the rest of the menu and bringing my friends! They don't yet have online ordering but I was able to call them and put my order in ahead so I didn't have to wait for my takeout order. They have "outdoor seating" under an awning of the plant store that shares the parking lot and advertise "indoor seating" but I did not wait around in the rain enough to investigate that lol. read more

Blue Apsara - Yum sandwich - Cambodian Near Me - Austin, Texas

We finally got to try Blue Apsara today! My mother in law is Khmer and she was supposed to come visit for spring break and we were all craving her cooking but last minute she couldn't come. When we looked on google, even though it was 45 min from our house, we knew we had to make a trip to try it out! Satisfied our cravings and the staff were so sweet! We will definitely be back, we might even move closer to south lamar just to be close to Blue Apsara haha read more

I tried the beef sticks combo that came with papaya salad and sticky rice. It was meticulously prepared and cooked to perfection. My taste buds came alive with Southeast Asian flavors. I'm looking forward to trying their other offerings! read more

Amazing food truck! Everything is delicious and you HAVE to try the Nom Pahng sandwiches. Kim is a friendly and incredibly nice owner. Please support them! We need more spots like this in South Austin! read more

This is a sweet little spot. Owner Kim is super friendly and cooks everything scratch to order. You can eat in a special room in the plant shop (with AC and lovely big plants), or just wait there/shop until your order is ready. We have really enjoyed the Cambodian chicken curry, egg rolls, prahok k'tis (ground pork and pork belly with rice, pickles and raw veggies on the side), and nom pahng pate (similar to banh mi). Refreshing, interesting flavors, sort of a blend between Thai and Vietnamese (makes sense). So glad this is in our neighborhood! read more

The dish I got was so good. I had the Weeping Tiger Steak. It was so flavorful and the beef was perfectly tender. 10/10. If you love southeast Asian flavors like Thai, Viet, and Lao, you will love this place. The husband and wife owners were so nice! They also rent space in the building they are next to that has tables for you to sit at! It's like a plant place. V cute. read more
