What an amazing Thai food truck!!! We drove out to Amelia Island from Jacksonville for the Jazz Festival which was unimpressive. There was only one food truck in front of the venue with cold mashed potatoes and soggy fries. The show today was free but only had the Jazz ensemble from UNF. Luckily the 1 hour trip wasn't a total waste because we found Eato Chef!! It's right across from the beach (on the west side of the A1A but you can easily get food here and walk across the street to eat on the beach). As soon as you walk up, it has a bunch of park like tables, each one with jars of cookies/snacks, games like checkers/chess/jenga/etc., and magazines. There's only a few menu items, but the star is the pad thai!! It was one of the best pad thai I have ever had (even better than in Thailand)!!! It was so flavorful and my favorite was the cabbage and chives garnish. The spice level goes all the way up to 25, but be careful it gets really super spicy! I only got level 3 and it was quite spicy! I usually get 4 out of 5 at most Thai restaurants. The dumplings were deep fried (I usually like my dumplings pan fried) but that's ok because the filling was so delicious. The chef Mai Mai was so sweet and nice. She played a game of chess with my son and gave my daughter a mango popsicle after lunch. We would make the drive again just to eat here again! Totally worth it read more

Eato Chef - Shrimp pad Thai is outstanding! - Thai Near Me - Fernandina Beach, Florida

Limited menu - it's a food truck - with fantastic food. We had the pad Thai, egg rolls, and dumplings, and all were outstanding. The egg rolls were firmer than what I am used to and did not fall apart which was really nice. The outdoor covered seating is really cute, and they have games on each table to keep you occupied while you wait for your food or eat. We will be back! read more

Eato Chef - Cozy outdoor seating area - Thai Near Me - Fernandina Beach, Florida

Yum yum yum! I loved this food truck, and I'm so sad that they don't have a view of the beach, because that would have been the cherry on top. Really authentic pad thai, super flavorful and spicy in the very best way. Owner is super friendly and gave our toddler a mango icy while we waited for a to go order. Their dumplings are great, too. Highly recommend. read more

This is some good pad Thai!!! Why the 3 stars? Well, they didn't have much besides the pad Thai and didn't have what they said they did on google. The menu basically consisted of pad Thai and egg rolls. The pad Thai is really good though! The area is lucky to have it...just wish they had something besides pad Thai and they only had shrimp or chicken options ‍ read more

Pad Thai is excellent! All the food here is good! The mango sticky rice is a great dessert.

Pad Thai is amazing! My wife and I had Shrimp Pad Thai, I had spice level one and she had zero spice. The levels of spice go very high, like 25 (are you kidding me!). One wasn't bad at all, but if one is any indication of heat, 25 has to be shuttle explosion heat. The shrimp is locally sourced and fresh. The seating area is quaint, comfortable and has a lot of decorative plants that add to the experience. Highly recommended if you like Pad Thai. They have vegan, chicken and shrimp options. They also have hand made egg rolls, very yummy! read more

Eato Chef - Food truck and seating area - Thai Near Me - Fernandina Beach, Florida

There is no better pad thai anywhere nearby. Fresh, delicious, generous portions. Heat level can be requested. And there is no better setting than their airstream by the beach. Love what you do! read more

The best pad Thai & dumplings in the county ... the environment (outdoor only) is amazing & so is the hospitality of mei mei

after a busy day shopping at Horrock's Farmers Market in Lansing, MI, I stopped for a little respite at the Eato Chef food truck. The walk up ordering system was easy and fast, the food options were plentiful and large proportions. My family had Pad Thai of different heat ratings (it can get really hot at the 3+ level) along with egg rolls and dessert. Everything was served fresh and tasty. An easy choice for eating here again when shopping, it really made the trip memorable. read more

Found the place by luck and it was worthy. Nice pad thai with plenty of options. Very comfy place, car park beside. Definitely a place to stop by if you are at Fernandina beach and you are up to a Pad Thai! read more

This was the best pad thai I've ever had and it's right in my neighborhood! Mai Mai was super friendly. I hope they'll become a permanent fixture! read more

Delicious Pad Thai and spring rolls. Very friendly. She gives the dogs treats, too. Live music is fun! Lots of locals walk up, sign it's good! read more

Excellent food! Pad Thai and spring rolls enough for two people. Highly recommend this place.

I went yesterday and the food was awesome! the food came out quick and the server was extremely polite. I got a shrimp pad thai with a spice level 3 and it had a perfect balance of heat and savory. read more

Hidden gem in Fernandina Beach Florida. This food truck offers a family friendly alternative to the typical tourist food destination. Food was delicious and the service impeccable. Thanks for a wonderful outdoor dining experience. Tom Dodd read more

best authentic pad Thai! Mango sticky rice and egg rolls also delicious. Cute outdoor seating. Very nice owner and staff.

I stopped there and had Chicken Pad Thai the other day. It was absolutely wonderful! I would be careful about the spice level. I originally thought I wanted a 2 out of 10 but finally changed and got a .5 which was plenty of spice for me. They have packages of spice on the table to illustrate how much spice is in each level and 2 would have been way too much for me. Well done and Welcome to Fernandina Beach! read more

Loved the polite and fast service. Professional operation. What a spot to have the permanent trailer. Great set up. The variation on what I consider excellent Pad Thai didn't work for me. I'm not saying it was bad, or off, just not my thing. The red, smokey theme was good, just not what I'm looking for with my Thai. Again, nothing wrong with this meal, just a different way to do it - not my favorite. The chicken egg rolls were delicious and I would order them again. Tasty. read more

Eato Chef - Chicken Pad Thai take out. - Thai Near Me - Fernandina Beach, Florida

The best Pad Thai I have had in years! Eat at picnic tables under an Umbrella or take home.

FYI-Eato Chef has left the state and moved to Florida. They did make great Pad Thai.

I'm not very experienced with Thai food. However the shrimp pad thai was really good. My son and I like spicy food and we ordered level 2 seasoning/spices. Tread lightly with the spices at first. Service was fast and we will definitely be going back! Really great place at horrocks. read more

Small food truck at Horrock's Beer Garden. Amazing pad Thai and papaya salad. I got the XX Hot spice level 5. It's spicy. My eyeballs are sweating, even ice water is spicy, and I think I'm seeing dead people. The service was fast and I highly recommend their pad Thai....ranks right up there with the best I've ever had. read more

Eato Chef - Pad Thai with chicken, spice level 5. - Thai Near Me - Fernandina Beach, Florida

Great food and friendly service! Food is fresh and made to order. Wait times can be long, but well worth it!

Finally got the courage to ask in Horrocks how to find this place. You have to go through the store out back by the Beer Garden. The food truck is inside a fence, so I don't think you can get to it without going through the store first. That being said, it was totally worth it!!! We got pad Thai tofu and shrimp, spice level 2. You could actually taste the chilis!! I added a little more heat at home, but it was just about the max spice level for one of my kids. Order took about 10 minutes to be cooked and packed up. Was some of the best pad Thai I've ever had!!! Highly recommend. read more

Truly, the best pad Thai I've had in Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, or Michigan. Other stuff on the menu is great too - but it's a limited menu, on purpose. They just do everything 10/10. I travel for work, and I'm not at all exaggerating when I say that I book my hotels based on their proximity to Eato Chef when I stay in Lansing. I'm convinced that any low/negative reviews are somehow connected to the spice level they ordered. They have a much wider range than most American Thai spots... (0-8.) Their 3 is probably the highest level at most other spots. I absolutely LOVE spice. It's hard to completely smoke me out - but their level 4 is almost too much for me. Order appropriately! Also, truly great people own and run this place. They're present, engaging, and super friendly. I'm a huge fan! read more

this food truck has ruined all other pad thai for me. i dream of them. they're never open when i go and it ruins my day but it's really good. read more

Delicious! Highly recommend the pad Thai which has a good balance of savory, sweet, salty, umami and sour flavors (with the lemon squeeze before eating). The bean sprouts and green onions were crunchy and fresh. The level 2 spice was good for us (people who don't cook with peppers at home). Also loved the spicy sausage dish with a mix of cooked green beans and fresh veggies. We'll be back! read more

Food was over priced! Thought it would be more authentic but every time it's a different taste!

Friendly service, great food. LOVE Eato Chef!! Their sticker is on our race car. #maxpriceracing

Everything is great, chicken pad thai is the go to. Spice levels are no joke. We like spice and can't go higher than a 3.

Food was hot, cooked properly. Average taste for Thai food. Definitely not bad, but not the best. Friendly.
