It's been two days since I've had this meal & I am STILL thinking about it! Never would have thought to put peanut sauce over katsu chicken but MAN was this flavorful & a perfect amount of everything. The Chuckey drink was a perfect addition to help wash this food down. Food was out quickly & I am a huge fan of how they do their order system! You get a cool anime style card to collect your food. So close to my house so I'll be back for sure, the food truck was great! read more

A friend got me some pad thai from here that I heated up at home. It was flavorful and seemed to have been stir fried in a nutty creamy sauce, which I enjoyed. I don't think I would go out of my way to eat here, but if their truck was nearby, I might consider it. read more

Haad Sai Thai - pad thai - Food Trucks Near Me - San Diego, California

We had Haad Sai Thai food truck last week for a lunch event at work. Fun truck, friendly staff, and unique ticket system with super hero cards like ant man. They had 5 options on the menu but I chose the Crispy Chicken with peanut sauce. It came with rice and a little eggroll and a spicy dipping sauce. The food was tasty, decent portion size, and spicy. Next time I might try the Panang Curry chicken or the Drunken Noodles with chicken instead. read more

Fast, fresh and flavorful Thai food! I ordered the Crispy Chicken with Peanut Sauce and was planning to eat half for dinner and half for lunch tomorrow. My plan failed as I ate the entire plate for dinner! FYI-I also ordered a spice level 8 and asked for two extra chili oil sauces just in case. I didn't need to use any read more

Haad Sai Thai - Crispy Chicken with Peanut Sauce - Food Trucks Near Me - San Diego, California

Pre-COVID, my work used to have a different food truck scheduled outside for lunch every day. Haad Sai would come every other Friday and it was always the highlight of my week! I really miss those days... :( That said, this is my favorite food truck, no contest. The food itself is amazing! I will say they are very liberal on their spiciness scale. On a scale of 1-10, I normally get a 7 but for Haad Sai I stick to anywhere from 3-5. The price for the quality and quantity you receive is great, they don't try to hit you with outrageous prices. The owners are super friendly and they always make the wait fun and upbeat. Sometimes they have fun music playing on their speakers. I even hear some Kpop every now and then. ;) I also like how they give you a pop culture/super hero reference as your ticket instead of using your name. Recommendations: - Pad seew noodles with fried tofu - Panang chicken curry - Crispy chicken with peanut sauce - Thai Iced Tea - Thai Iced Coffee read more

Haad Sai is hands down my favorite food truck. Not only do they have good food but they have extremely reasonable prices for being a food truck and just in general! Our company hosts them around 1-2 times a month and they are the only food truck I am willing to buy from. The workers are always super nice and welcoming and are good at remember the frequent customers. I always get the crispy chicken with peanut sauce and my workers really like the drunken noodles. They also have some pretty legit thai iced tea and a thai iced coffee that I've wanted to try for a while! You order and get a card with a comic book character on it. The name of the character is what is called when your food is ready. They also have a stamp card so you buy 8 dishes then you get the 9th one free! Needless to say, great value and a great deal. read more

I discovered this food truck at the Bernardo Winery holiday festival and it satisfied my craving for Thai food. I ordered the garlic noodles, which are basically a version of pad see ew without the broccoli. In other words, it's exactly what I usually order at a Thai restaurant. They were out of chicken breast but they did have a breaded chicken for a dollar extra so I chose that. I've never had breaded chicken at a Thai restaurant before but it paired great with the noodles and I was very happy with the dish. I also ordered an egg flower soup since it was so cold out and, while it wasn't my favorite variety of the soup, it was good and hit the spot. When we ordered, we were given a playing card of a superhero and they called out our card name when our order was ready. It's a unique spin on taking down someone's name and calling it out for pick up. read more

This food truck comes by my work every so often and it's one of the more popular trucks for good reason. The food is good and price is not too drastic all things considered. I've had the drunken noodles and panang chicken curry. Both were tasty and I would not mind getting them again. In addition, the portion sizes were decent considering the price and being a food truck. Also, the 'ticket number' system is comically cool. They essentially give you a super hero or character, like Batman, Goku, or Zelda. This appeals to my slightly nerdy side and appeals to my nostalgia of watching these things as a kid. Anyway, I am definitely coming back to this truck when it's around! read more

Haad Sai Thai - Penang curry. Yummy! - Food Trucks Near Me - San Diego, California

One day I forgot to bring my lunch to work and had no ride. I searched for food trucks in San Diego and this one was conveniently a walks away from my workplace. Service is friendly and helpful. I ordered the drunken noodles (spice level 5) with chicken for $10. Each meal comes with a side of cucumber salad and your choice of either eggrolls or gyoza. I chose the gyoza. Their spice level is not Thai level so keep that in mind. I probably should have chosen level 10. I would say the meal was pretty solid. It's not the best, but it's pretty decent. $10 is a bit pricey, but it's the price you pay for the convenience of a food truck. If I was in the same situation (no lunch and no ride) I would come here again. read more

Haad Sai Thai - Drunken noodles - Food Trucks Near Me - San Diego, California

Just so that you're aware, they don't include a small thai salad and a gyoza with you order anymore. The pictures of the menu on Yelp are several years old. Panang Curry - $9 bucks. What I got was a solid brick of Panang curry and rice at a very hot temperature. It's hilarious how John C described his experience with his Panang Curry "Bad news, however, was that the sauce totally separated in the 2 minutes it took me to walk from the truck back to my desk. It left the rice swimming in a rather unappealing pool of pinkish water.".. haha I think the sauce had actually curdled because it was cooked too hot, but it was not very appetizing to look at when I got back to my office.. The Taste was good though, and it was spiced perfectly. The only problem was there was two meals worth of curry. I would have much rather of had less curry with the Thai salad and gyoza. - There was a lot of Panang Curry for that $9 bucks. - What was unappetizing was the fact they defaulted their suggested tip at 15%.. Food truck folks... Everyone else does 10%. read more

Ok, this place is amazing! My husband and I never really eat Thai Food, but in one the Food Truck Fridays at Balboa Park this truck was one the only ones that smelled AMAZING and immediately caught our attention. I'm SO glad we chose to eat there. To start off, I have to say the service was great. Really enthusiastic cashier! He was really nice and friendly, he conversed and made jokes with us. I also love the fact that instead of calling your name or a number when your order is ready, they give you a hero or heroine (Vegeta and Merida for ex) card and then call out the characters name so you can pick up your order haha just genius! We ordered the Crispy Chicken with Sriracha Mayo to share and the Dragon Blood Drink. And OMG YOU GUYS!! So DELICIOUS!! Chicken was ACTUALLY crispy, the sriracha mayo on point and the rice?? Cooked to perfection. I'm Brazilian so I'm picky with my rice! It was a very tasty dish, spicy, crunchy, sweet. Hit all the right spots! And that drink?? Besides the stunning color, it has amazing flavor. My husband and I had never tasted dragon fruit before but that drink looked interesting on the menu, so we ordered. We did not regret it. Very refreshing, flavorful and not too sweet at all. This place has my heart and I hope to find their truck around more times. read more

So...the cafe at my office building has been under construction since late November...so we've had a slew of food trucks come through in the past few months and if you know me at all, I do not like food trucks. So one day, I'm craving Thai food sooooooo bad and I check the food truck schedule and sure enough, Haad Sai Thai is gonna be onsite! I think to myself, "Alright, I'll give it a shot" and really thinking to myself that this was going to be a horrible experience and terrible waste of money. Boy, was I wrong!! I purchased the Dragon's Blood $4, which is a essentially Dragonfruit juice and soooooo good!! For my appetizer, I got the Cream Cheese Wontons $6 (for 6) and for my entree I got the Garlic Chicken (level 5) for $8. I figured, Thai food always tastes great the next day, so if this was too much food, then I had lunch for the next day too. The food smelled great and I was super excited to try it. The Garlic Chicken is probably THE BEST Thai entree I've ever had - the heat of level 5 was perfect and there was sooooo much garlic...YUM! The cream cheese wontons were delicious and the Dragon's Blood was so refreshing. Needless to say, I finished everything. There were no leftovers. AND I went back down to get a Thai Iced Coffee $4, which basically kept me out of a food coma and functioning for the remainder of the work day :) read more

Cute little truck. Friendly staff. Ordered pad thai chicken, spicy. Loved the peanut sauce added on top!

It was lunchtime and I was starving. I ran down to this convenient food truck expecting delicious food (one, because I was hungry and all food tastes great when you're starving and two, because I ordered pad see ew, and I've never been to a place that hadn't done half decently with that dish). Today, unfortunately, was the day I was proven wrong. I ate bland noodles with slightly salty/sweet but definitely dry chicken, which was under seasoned with all possible Thai flavors but OVER seasoned with regular grounded black pepper. I was so disappointed in the waste of calories as there was absolutely no flavor (outside of black pepper) in my food, there was literally 1 tiny half bite of fried egg, and maybe 5 small Florettes of broccoli. the rest was bland, flavorless noodle. get this food truck off our rotation. if that's how they do pad see ew, I doubt the pad Thai (another hard to screw up dish) would be any better. pros none. well, the container looked reusable so that's good? cons no taste, texture or content! kilroy realty, pull this truck off the rotation! I'd rather go to spices across the street than this! read more

Today I had the amazing opportunity to try out their fried rice and Dragon fruit juice. I am going to start by saying that their customer service is amazing! I am a vegan and they had no problem at all when it came to accommodate my needs! This is a PLUS**** ;)) My fried rice had tofu instead of chicken! I'm not a tofu fan but the way they made my tofu was AWESOME!!! The Dragon fruit juice is to die for!!!!! Highly recommended it!!! I love their food!!!!

Haad Sai Thai - Food Trucks Near Me - San Diego, California

I happen to run into this food truck at the La Mesa Food Fest Event and great run in it was. They offered a variety of items this particular evening, but this time I went for the Drunken Noodles with chicken. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/haad-sai-thai-food-san-diego?select=GF4eFqbghOXjs5UMyp7K9w#Zk6ijJDG04GHJDkBkTPwgQ) The meal came with a petite salad with peanut dressing and either an egg roll or pot sticker. I went for the pot sticker. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/haad-sai-thai-food-san-diego?select=GF4eFqbghOXjs5UMyp7K9w#XxkrKtrqJsFxUGNZ6RmruQ) The Drunken Noodles were great and arrived piping hot. The texture of the noodles were very pleasurable and had just the right amount of sauce on them. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/haad-sai-thai-food-san-diego?select=GF4eFqbghOXjs5UMyp7K9w#1rjEj5LUFcIDifFOQ8xA9w) The noodles came with a good amount of tender and tasty chicken, tender onions, some peppers and scallions. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/haad-sai-thai-food-san-diego?select=GF4eFqbghOXjs5UMyp7K9w#aCQsNSNy8MEcmIgNkrbkQg) I liked the garnish of peanuts. The side salad was great and the peanut dressing was even better, with its tasty refreshing quality. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/haad-sai-thai-food-san-diego?select=GF4eFqbghOXjs5UMyp7K9w#ietk3zWIVUNYI0ADMaA2iw) The pot sticker was good and had a good pan crisp on it. I love it when they do that. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/haad-sai-thai-food-san-diego?select=GF4eFqbghOXjs5UMyp7K9w#3dPs73an6DeHxl0U3AA0Yg) The ground pork inside had a great garlic and ginger flavor. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/haad-sai-thai-food-san-diego?select=GF4eFqbghOXjs5UMyp7K9w#sKyBbtTpaNriFycAReAt0A) I liked all that came on my plate, but my favorite was the heaping pile of flat chewy noodles. I just could not get enough of them. They guys running this truck were great and had good senses of humors.. I like a great flat drunken noodle.. read more

I have seen this food truck at two different beer festivals at Liberty Station. The first time I passed it up and got pizza but decided to give it a shot the second time. I am so happy I tried Haad. We ordered the panang curry and the drunken noodles. Both were the perfect level of spiciness. I almost didn't want to share my noodles they were so tasty. The price is great for the portion size. The dishes range from $9-$11 I believe. We were both pretty full after sharing the two plates. There was a line but the food came out pretty quickly. Can't wait until I see this food truck again! read more

For a food truck, this is actually really good thai food! I love that they make it there for you fresh when you order and you can customize the spiciness level. The garlic chicken noodles and drunken noodles are amazing! You can't go wrong with either of them. The prices are also very reasonable! For $9 I got a huge plate and still had left overs to take home. They are also very easy to work with. We schedule them at our office location frequently and they are always very responsive. Never had any issues with cancelations or bad customer service. I guess the only feedback I have to give is that I think the lady working at the front window could be a little nicer. She always just seems in a rush to take your order and move on. read more

Great place for a quick bite for lunch. This place, as you can see from the pictures, is a food truck so it's really fast service at food truck quality! I ordered the Panang Curry with Chicken which comes with rice and only cost me $9! Also, it came out almost in an instant! I came out as lunch was dying down and it was just me and another person out there ordering and I was so surprised that after 30 seconds my food was out. Assumed they had a huge pot of panang curry prepared beforehand. A critique I have food-wise: their panang curry was very watery/liquidy and looked full of oil, I wish it was much thicker. But, the taste of it was exactly how I like my curry-- mild spice, you can definitely taste and smell the aroma of the coconut milk and they gave you a perfect proportion of chicken and rice. The people here are also very friendly and I'd come back here for the fast service and the wonderful taste of the food. Next time I'm getting a noodle dish though! read more

Haad Sai Thai - Chicken Panang Curry with rice! - Food Trucks Near Me - San Diego, California

Tried Haad Sai Thai for first time in Eastgate location and truly disappointed with the fried rice I ordered. I ordered chicken fried rice - there is no single vegetable in this along with chicken -only few literally 1-2 pieces of spring onion, coriander leaves and vert few egg pieces (i can literally count). $10 for the rice is not cheap especially when places like Sab e lee. They didnt have any cashews or pineapple added either. The spice level i mentioned 4 was little over for me and would probably be a 6 if i order elsewhere. Chicken was dry and bland read more

Haad Sai Thai makes my heart and stomach very happy! I look forward to downtown food truck Wednesday's at B Street (at India). The garlic chicken noodles are bomb! I love that they use chicken breast (vs thighs). And the added course spice on top is a perfect finishing touch. Portion size is totally worth the price. Waiting to see which super hero card you get is fun too! read more

Haad Sai Thai - Food Trucks Near Me - San Diego, California

Prelims: a food truck of normal size, it carries nothing of distinction other than a small speaker that allows you to communicate without screaming at the person in the truck your order. Service is a little slow, but it's a food truck, so you know it's fresh. The prices ranged from $9-15 which is around average for a "fancy" food truck and it was at my work where everything gets upcharged. I ordered the patseeew and it was about $8 (I think). It came in a nice little package that is reusable. The flavor was very good - the standard patseeew that you would expect from a restaurant but available for cheaper and in a food truck. It was hot, the exact amount of spiciness that I had requested, and it was delicious to eat. Plenty of chicken, plenty of broccoli, and plenty of noodles. I was pretty full and the noodles were quite tasty. TL;DR good patseeew for a food truck. Would get again. read more

The food I get from this truck is as good if not better than thai restaurants. They have a few rice dishes, noodle dishes and curries. My favorite is the chicken pad see ew. I look forward to when this truck rolls by work and I have the days marked off in my calendar. The food is that good, or Im just just a loser...haha. I guess Im not the only one since the truck gets slammed when they roll by. Despite how busy they get, service is always outstanding and the guys that run it, Pat, Sai, Max, and Valerie are really friendly. Highly recommend! read more

From the moment we got here I knew I would love it. Ordered the drunken shrimp noodles and I was amazed by the taste. Kinda far from my home but worth the drive for this food. Great job Sai and Staff. Keep the same flavor. I'll be going back for sure again. read more

excellent food and awesome customer service. thank you for catering our holiday party at ucsd - la jolla. mhh

My old man was craving burgers, I was craving Thai, as usual. Solution- South Park Food Truck Tuesday!!!! I went with my old reliable and got the Drunken Noodles. Pretty tasty. I paid about $10 for one of those styrofoam containers of noodles- It's pricey when you think about this being food truck food, but a good deal when you think about what you'd pay for this entree at a restaurant. They whipped up the noodles pretty quick- I only waited about 5 min. Would definitely visit the real Haad Sai in Kearny Mesa when I get the chance. read more

3.5 stars seems about right. My drunken noodles were good and the presentation was nice, but for the price ($10) I kind of wish the portion was bigger, or more chicken, or a couple dumplings or something. Probably would have given 4 stars if this dish was $2 cheaper. read more

Haad Sai Thai - Food Trucks Near Me - San Diego, California

Service was fine - friendly and prompt. The food was edible, but that was the only positive. I got the pad thai with chicken ($9 - the usual food truck premium) and it was the worst pad thai I've ever had. It didn't even taste like pad thai! It was more like rice noodles with some brown sauce and a few sad strips of chicken breast. I can't imagine anything else out of the truck could taste any better, if that's their interpretation of pad thai... Won't be donating my dollars there ever again. read more

It does not get more "street side" or authentic than this. Very few food trucks manage to pull it off but when they do I fall in love. Haad Sai does it extremely well and i fell hard when i first had their drunken noodles and Thai Tea, no wok...no BS always great service not to mention the swagged out cook! If you are a complainer who has nothing good to say. Please do stick to the two pieces of bread with cheese in between... I would seriously choose eating from this truck over a Thai restaurant on any given day. As far as pricing...I would pay the cost of the plate for the experience and feel alone. That's just me though... read more

Pat and his crew catered my wedding this past weekend, can't say enough about how happy my wife and I were with their service. Pumpkin spice curry is amazing! If you get a chance to try this dish out while its in season due yourself a favor and give it a shot. Drunken noodles with chicken or tofu got rave reviews from our guests. Cream cheese won tons! Words can't explain how good those are, you need to hurry up and get to where ever they have set up and order these, asap! Pat and his crew were extremely professional, if you are planning your wedding or party they could be the caterer for you. There is nothing negative that I can say about them, they were attentive to our needs and exceeded our expectations. read more

Haad Sai Thai - Must try HAAD-Banero sauce - Food Trucks Near Me - San Diego, California

Not a fan on food trucks, but was attending a seminar at National University just across the street and the 'nearby' brought me there. I thought it was a restaurant, so I spend quite a bit of time trying to find the exact location. Then read the previous reviews better and noticed it was a truck! Service is very friendly and food is just ok, nothing wonderful but edible when you are in a hurry and want some Thai flavors. Drunken noodles with chicken was the safest bet for me. read more

Haad Sai was in the neighborhood, so I trotted down to check it out. I ordered the Panang chicken curry, which set me back $9. The box included some rice, with the chicken curry on top, a single fried dumpling and a small container of soy sauce. This is better-than-decent truck food. Moreover, the price for the curry was lower than is typical for lunches served by the four-wheeled competition. I liked my lunch well enough, and I'd come back without hesitation. In my book, however, the food was merely OK and not super great. Despite assertions to the contrary by some of my colleagues, I think that the food from Haad Sai would not compare well with the offerings of your favorite brick and mortar Thai restaurant. read more

Update: Can't rave enough about their garlic noodles. Packed with flavor, piping hot. Drunken noodles were okay still, felt a bit bland - Cream cheese wontons were also solid - good ratio of wrapper to cheese. Interesting "haad-banero" hot sauce that they have - tangy and spicy, I like it. I also like how they give you marvel trading cards as your "ticket number" when they call out your order. Line gets long, it's popular, so get there early! read more
