    Half curry half Zabb I plated at home
    Audrey K.

    We ordered the Kai Zabb as well as the chicken curry and I would come back for the Kai Zabb but the curry didn't have flavor. It smelt like a great Japanese Golden Curry but like I said, had no taste. The Kai Zabb on the other hand was packed with flavor and the freshness really complimented the heaviness of the fried chicken. Overall, service was kind, and the wait for the food really depends on how many people are there. There were 3 people ahead of us and it took about 25 minutes. So if you're willing to wait if it's busy, you should try it here! It's located in the Pink Flamingo food truck park and parking can be right. Seating is all outdoors, theres a few picnic tables. Ambiance is country like, very casual.

    This is a really cute food truck area, with picnic tables that have a little covering, perfect for shade during the hot seasons, and good enough to fend off a slight rain drizzle. If you don't go at a busy time, food takes about 15 min to come out because everything is made fresh to order, but I would still definitely recommend ordering online first. I got the kaeng panaeng, and it was so delicious! Servings are pretty big, and the chicken is so hot and crispy, while maintaining a really nice juiciness. It comes with a refreshing salad which I really appreciate too! I love the flavor of the curry too, it's so deep and rich. I got the medium spiciness level and it was perfect, as someone who enjoys a good amount of spice. The worker was also super friendly, keeping me updated about the wait time and making sure everyone was ok.

    I have visited Kai zabb twice in 1 week with different guest and have only had positive experiences. The food is worth it in flavor and quantity, truly delicious, my goodness. Pictured is the kra prao and I later tried the Kia zabb dish. All menu items come with a salad with homemade yummy dressing, rice and perfectly fried (good portion) chicken and whatever sauce you've chosen from the menu so if placing an order for delivery the chicken doesn't arrive soggy, and if eating in your person the sauce comes in the side as well and you can add as much as wanted. It's a guaranteed great experience which is why I have never had any doubt when recommending it to another! Decent sized parking lot, plenty of outdoor covered seating and typically a 15 min wait for food to come out.

    Came here with my boyfriend for lunch and we both were super impressed with this spot! The owner is so so nice and takes such pride in the food he's making. We got the Kai Zabb and the Kra Prao and both were fantastic and came with a side salad. The salad was good and the dressing was homemade and very tasty. Both dishes were super good but I think we both liked the Kra Prao the most! The chicken is perfectly crispy and comes with a good portion. The medium spice was perfect and the basil added such a nice flavor. The Kai Zabb was also fantastic but had a lighter sauce that was maybe a little more vinegary. Overall, I think anyone would love this place and there are so many great food trucks on this lot! Super cute vibe and lots of great seating.

    Kai Zabb is an absolute hidden gem (tuck in the back of the McNeil food-truck park)! This food truck is serving up one of the most unique and delicious fried chicken dishes with a Thai twist my husband and I ever had. Their fried chicken with curry (kaeng panaeng and kaeng kari) hits different--crispy, juicy (not oily), perfectly seasoned, and paired with a rich, flavorful curry that's comforting and addicting. Definitely a perfect choice for anyone who's a fan of the Japanese chicken curry dish. You can also tell they use only the freshest and highest quality ingredients--the flavors are vibrant, and everything tastes so thoughtfully prepared. It's comfort food elevated to the next level! Not to mention their Thai tea and fried banana dessert slap--the tea doesn't taste water down like many places in Austin and the dessert is a sweet, warm hug in your mouth. Also, it's a small detail, but I appreciated that their food is packed inside a sturdy paper container rather than in a styrofoam or plastic, which makes it easier to reheat later in the microwave as well as reduce the exposure to microplastics. All in all, this food truck is run by the original owners of Dang Hot 89. Thus, if you're a fan of the food prior to it moving to the East side you will not be disappointed with this new concept. All in all, if anyone is looking for something special and crave-worthy, Kai Zabb is a must-try! Trust me--you'll be thinking about that chicken and curry combo long after your last bite (in fact, I'm salivating right now as I'm writing this).

    Kai Zabb is dangerously addictive. Thai-inspired fried chicken that's light, crispy, and fried perfectly. The rice is high quality (which is rare), and the Kai Zabb sauce is next-level delicious.

    Kaeng Kari and Thai Tea

    Super tasty! The owner and chef is super friendly. The chicken was fantastic, really juicy with a very light breading, not at all greasy. I loved the curry. It reminded me a lot of a spicier version of Japanese curry. Meal also comes with a great salad. In front of the truck is a nicely shaded area with tables. Pretty comfy despite it being 95 out. Highly recommend! *photo is with the meal half eaten already. They give a lot more chicken than shown.

    Menu

    Just amazing. You can tell that everything is fresh and made with care and love. I believe good food is in the small details and these guys really have it down, not only is the chicken perfectly cooked. The sauces are transcendental. I went with my wife and daughter, and we all got something different and tried each other's. I got the Kra Prao, spicy. I like spicy food, not kill you spicy but spicy and hot. This was perfect. The portions were huge. It comes with rice and a salad so it's basically a full meal plus you're gonna have leftovers. The owner was a joy to meet and you can tell if this is her passion and the setting under the outdoor patio was cozy and complete.

    Such a cool area to eat! It was much cooler under this covered area (which is also under some tree coverage).

I like that blend the eggs with bacon pieces so it feels like one cohesive taco. They had me at homemade tortillas. Having grown up in San Antonio, TX...home of Tex-Mex, you can always tell homemade tortillas v store bought ones. The flavor of these tortillas are distincitive. I enjoyed every, single mouthful. Today I called a head to place my order. When arrived Fernanda asked my name, she rang up my tacos for $5 in total and I was off for my morning exercise regiment. The environment this morning was laid-back yet busy. There were a number of people in the restaurant, however, they were leisurely eating that tacos and engaging in conversations.

I was greeted as soon as I walked in. Placed my order - 1 migas taco, please. He asked if I would like anything else, what type of salsa - hottest, of course, and dine in or to go. They took "to go" more seriously than other place ever because my food was out before I could even finish looking around. This was much appreciated since I was already in a rush. Gave me food and kindly sent me on my way. In the end, I paid a little over $3 for friendly, prompt service and a solid migas taco.

You literally can miss it as I did when I initially tried to find this food truck. It is located near Ruku mechanic shop and shaved ice food truck after your drive down a relatively long path. Pacific Flame Island Grill has been touted as the lead for Austin's most authentic Pacific Island BBQ. According to Tammy, the owner, this family-owned truck serves authent ic pacific island food from Maui, Guam, Philippines, and Okinawa. It was nice talking to Tammy as she was super engaging. She draws you in with the Pacific Island history, cooking techniques and family traditions. I learned Tammy's family has a family crest which is tattooed on family members only. You have to obtain permission to get the tattoo and only one woman creates the tattoo. She indicated that their family is mainly from an area near Hana affectionately called the divorce road to Hana. My hubby and I drove up the road to Hana, which was treacherous...many one lane areas where only one car can pass and many blind curves. While the hubs and I are still married, next time we will take a helicopter to the waterfalls in Hana. Smile. I ordered the Teriyaki & Shoyu Chicken bowl. The chicken was tender with a deep, smoky char that Pacific Flame Island gets from their black iron grill. The accompanying rice was flavorful and enjoyable to eat. Win, win...all the way...food and island family!

There's plenty of outdoor seating but little shade, so you decide if you want to brave the heat or eat in your car. The plate lunch is a classic and they do it proud here. It typically consists of a protein, a few scoops of rice and macaroni salad. I went with the Huli Huli chicken, which is more or less grilled teriyaki cooked with extra pineapple tang. They give a good amount of meat for the price. Food takes a bit of time but I appreciate them cooking it fresh. They got other classics like loco moco too!
