    Drunken noodles w/lamb meatballs
    Rich W.

    Sang is my new must-visit foodtruck! I had become a big fan of hers through Yelp reviews and word of mouth, but all I could do was to watch her pop up in other neighborhoods via her Twitter feed, and even then her occasional appearances were as unpredictable as a groundhog, due to her splitting her time between running her food truck and cutting hair (see reviews for SangInWoodleyPark). Now she spends most of the week serving food (I heard you can also order food from her salon!), but due to the new DC Food Truck lottery system, it's become difficult for her to find a decent downtown parking space so she's been branching into other neighborhoods, incluidng ours -- their loss, our gain! For nine bucks, you get a styrofoam box crammed to the brim with fried rice or Asian noodles (conventional Pad Thai or Lao Drunken Noodles, which use the same wide rice noodles in Thai Pad See Ew or Chinese Chow Fun), topped by a couple of grilled chicken sate skewers, lamb or beef meatballs, or a mountain of tofu (for you vegetarians). For a few bucks more, you can add a spring roll, egg roll, Asian empenada, a cup of soup, or whatever else she decided to make that day. And a few bucks more will get you a quart-sized container of Lemon Tea, Thai Iced Tea, Bubble Tea, or whatever else she decided to make that day. If you're a regular, she might slip a lagniappe or two into your bag! (And unlike other food trucks, she doesn't try to collect the annoying DC bag tax from you). Food portions are huge (especially if you add one or two of her sides) and Sang always welcomes you with a smile, no matter how bad the weather outside may be. Five stars for food quality, five stars for food quantity, and five stars for exceptional customer service!

    Tofu pad thai and tofu drunken noodles, plus giant Thai iced coffee and Thai iced tea.

    Food truck offering delicious and generous Thai and Laos dishes. My friend and I spontaneously choose Sang on Wheels when meeting for a quick lunch. I had the drunken noodles with tofu, which was also full of vegetables and delightfully spicy. My friend had the tofu pad thai, also full of broccoli and bean sprouts. Both portions were more than enough for us, so we ended up with leftovers. We also both received complimentary giant drinks - Thai iced tea for me and the Thai iced coffee for her - which provided more than enough sugar and caffeine for the rest of the day. The service was quick - even by food truck standards - but also friendly and patient with those of us who struggle with menu decisions. Overall, a great option for a quick lunch or meal on-the-go!

    Chicken Sate with Drunken Noodles and Fried Rice
    Jason S.

    Normally I would give food of this quality 2-2.5 stars, but this place deserves the boost because the lady who runs the truck is incredibly affable and enjoys giving free items to her customers, especially later in the afternoon. I ordered chicken sate over half drunken noodles and half fried rice. Not only was the portion humongous, but the lady offered me complimentary egg rolls as well as Thai iced tea. And my meal only costs $9! But, the food does have issues. The chicken is relatively insipid and particularly dry. A nice sauce or more noticeable rub would surely enhance its flavor. The fried rice felt dried-out and relatively flavorless as well. The drunken noodles was definitely better than the rice, although it was very one note and its vegetables were hard to enjoy because they were large and tough to chew. Overall, a food truck that offers okay food with great value.

    Chicken drunken noodles

    I ordered the chicken drunken noodles and got a TON of food - lots of noodles! The chicken was cooked just right and had delicious flavor. The carrots and broccoli could have been chooped a little smaller to make it easier to eat, but everything was delicious! I have enough left over for another meal, so hopefully it'll heat up well! The woman who operates the truck was delightful! She was very friendly and happy to talk to her customers. I would definitely recommend this to all who eat from the food trucks! I'll be going back for more next time they're close.

    drunken noodles with meatballs, shrimp, chicken and tofu
    U. U.

    I really really really wanted to love this place, but alas, my hopes that I would get amazing Laotian street food were crushed when I had this truck's version of drunken noodles. Maybe I just don't like drunken noodles? I don't know, but these just were not good. I have to say, the lady running the truck is adorable and generous. She gives you A LOT of food and if you are poor and hungry, this might be a decent $8 to spend. That's where the good stops though...the bad is, the food is almost inedible! The noodles were gluey, gooey and the meatballs? Why? they are basically just dense balls of meat. No flavor at all and do not add anything to the dish. I have no idea why it's even offered. The meats offered (shrimp, chicken and beef) I think are just boiled. They have NO FLAVOR. It's basically just thrown in for good measure. Can you at least put a little seasoning on it? Whatever is in the drunken noodles themselves is not enough! I think the tofu is the best part really, but even that is bland. Overall, this dish is a hot mess. I could barely get through it and I didn't feel bad throwing just about all of it in the garbage. My hope is that maybe her pad thai is better? Anyway, this was gross. Never again.

    Huge portions but very greasy and little flavor. The pad thai in particular was basically noodles with a mild curry flavor.

Tucked into the heart of Dupont Circle with its unmistakable bright blue awning, the restaurant is intimate, moody, and always buzzing. Inside, you'll find dim lighting, a handful of cozy wooden bar booths, seats along the bar, and a few outdoor tables. It's not a huge space, which only adds to its charm and makes every reservation feel like a win. The atmosphere is perfect for sharing dishes and lingering over dinner with friends. The food was incredible...I genuinely loved every single bite. Just be prepared: the Sichuan spice is no joke! If you aren't expecting it, it'll definitely sneak up on you (in the best way). My must-orders? The chili wontons, Dan Dan noodles, and beef noodles. Every dish was packed with bold flavor and left me wanting to come back for more. If you've been trying to score a reservation, keep at it. Astoria is one of those places that's absolutely deserving of its reputation, and I'll be thinking about those noodles until my next visit.

Inside had small tables and a kinda casual cocktail bar vibe Beef Noodles - the highlight and actually very good! The noodles are long and handmade and chewy. They hold onto the sauce very well! The sauce has a slight kick and is very savory. The beef is soft and also flavorful! I feel the price for the portion is kinda expensive though 8/10 Chili wontons - skin is silky and soft, sauce is savory with a small kick as well! Even though the sauces look similar to beef noodle they taste very different. The fillings had good flavor and overall were good but were a bit tougher and dryer than I would prefer. 6/10 Crab fried rice - crab is slightly overcooked but naturally sweet. It has a light curry taste throughout and was pretty good but didn't really stand out 5.5/10 Mapo tofu - slight kick and nice savory taste in the sauce! However I think they cut the tofu pieces way too large or the tofu they chose had way too much tofu flavor that overpowers the sauce. I'd prefer a very light silky tofu but this was a soft tofu. 6/10 Vpod - at first it just tasted like orange juice but then the other flavors peek through on the after taste and when I mixed it more. Even though it was good, it still felt very basic 5/10 Philadelphia Scotsman - it's pretty ginger forward. Technically the level of ginger spice is fine but strong but then the rest of the drink got completely overpowered and so this just wasn't that great 2.5/10

I can't comment on the service or ambiance as this food was delivered. The portions were large. I was taken a back since the lo mein and eggplant were lunch portions, and usually you can expect a small serving, but not at this restaurant. Also, the lunch entrees came with a side of soup, which made this an even better deal (both were $13.95). While the food was delivered hot and packaged well, some of the items were great, and some fell flat due to texture issues. I really like the fried crab wontons, lo mein, and hot and sour soup. They hit the spot. I didn't enjoy the Hunan shrimp as the shrimp didn't taste fresh and had an odd texture to it. The eggplant also was overcooked so was somewhat a sloppy, dough like consistency when eating, which was kind of off putting. If returning, I would opt for the lo mein and soup.

Definitely a 4/4.5 star place. I really wish the menus were on paper - you have to scan a QR code to look at everything which isn't my favorite. Also a random 3% fee was added to our bill (which I don't see disclosed on the online menu). Overall I'd go back for the food/takeout especially with a larger group!

This is not a space to grab food if you're trying to have a conversation.

We had: Koika No Karaage - their version of calamari - 10/10 - lightly fried with the most amazing texture and paired with a yuzu mayo. For the price I wish the serving size was larger but that's my only gripe. Kani - 10/10 - snow crab with spicy mayo - 2 came with the order and they were amazing. The Japanese crest was the perfect contrast to softness of the snow crab. It was also seasoned well. Hotate Toryufu - 10/10 - the scallops melted in your mouth. Amazing. No notes. California Maki - 6/10 - my least favorite thing here. It wasn't awful but it didn't compare to the other things we had. Drinks - I WISH I could remember the name of the drink I had. Hands down one of the best drinks I've ever had and was paired with sparkling sake. Bathe me in sparkling sake, put a bottle in my casket, I want it with me forever. I would come back for sure but would opt to sit at the bar. It would definitely be easier to speak to someone sitting next to you than across from you. For the price you will not get full here but if you want to share some small bites of new food this is absolutely your spot.
