    Pad kee Mao

    10/10 best Thai food you can find, easy and fast but most of all SUPER authentic and delicious. This is my favorite pad kee mao the drunken noodles are so so perfectly flavored as in Thailand and the spring roles are incredible. Then the service, they're so kind, helpful and generous with portions. Thank you for consistently yummy food!

    Rice container no bigger than credit card in size!

    I rate the THAI ON CLINTON CART - "DSMPF" - for: Disgustingly Small Microscopic Portions of Food! I was jogging by the cart and it smelled delicious! So when I ran back I ordered a Red Curry with Vegetables - $11.00. But when I got home I was disappointed to find the foil bottom rice container ( see picture) was barely larger than a credit card in width & length and even at that it was only about 90% full! The plastic container only slightly better - somewhat smaller than what you receive in a Chinese restaurant when you order a small wanton soup. Who knows maybe they have a good "Little People" customer base? But when I poured the red curry & vegetables over my rice - THERE WAS BARELY ANY VEGETABLES - like nearly NOTHING! It was all red curry sauce. It was a good curry - spiced nice - unfortunately nothing to put it on but rice. Rice & Veges are always the cheapest dishes so how do you cheap out by serving less than the standard portion? All that they gave (see pic) were a few leaves of the leafy green & white whatever vegetables, about 3 or 4 small shards (no slices) of carrots - NO MUSHROOMS, NO BABY CORN, NO WATERCRESS, NO NOTHING - just an abundance of DISGRACEFUL! As you can see by pics I basically paid $11.00 for about $1.00 worth of vegetables & 10 cents worth of red curry flavored rice. And the rice in that bowl contains half a small white rice I had left over from Chinese food I ordered 2 nights prior! Then tack on the $2.00 they charge for the small Poland Springs bottle of water everyone else charges $1.00 for and that gets the whole disappointment up to $13.00! The homeless guy who was feeding himself from the trash can on corner next to their cart had the right idea! If you approach this cart - jog pass it quickly - don't be a fool like me and return to get RIPPED-OFF!

    Chicken Pad Thai
    Shaima C.

    I really wanted pad Thai, so I found this place on yelp and decided to grab lunch from here. The moment I saw the cart, I also noticed a group of people waiting for their food; that's always a good sign! Got on line and ordered my pad Thai , waited about 8 minutes or so, which wasn't bad. The cart is tiny, so if you have any food allergies, just be aware of cross contamination. The pad Thai smells amazing! Even as I walked backed to work, I was able to smell it. The noodles had some great flavor and for $8, the portion size is worth it. Very curious about some of the other menu items, will be going back!

    Pad see ew  with chicken, they had amazing customer service it was a quick pick up and made on the spot. Hot and ready

    Great Customer service I will suggest this spot if you want to get some Thai on the go.

    Chicken pad kee mao

    By far my favorite food in the area and it's not close. Been going here for years now, very overdue on a review. Full disclosure: I have not tried everything on the menu. I don't feel the need to mix it up - the chicken pad kee mao is perfect. Generous portion size, just the right spice, super consistent quality. And the people working the truck are so nice! Decided to leave a review today of all days because I think the dish that Chef Ni cooked up this time was maybe the best I can remember at this spot. If you're in the area you have to check it out!

    Thai Ice tea with Chicken Basil sauce over rice.

    Had the Chicken Basil sauce. It was pretty good. However, it could've definitely used much more Thai or Holy basil, black peppercorn or black pepper, and a hint of fish sauce. Thai ice tea was nice too Hopefully that was jasmine rice. I have allergies so I couldn't smell so well.

    Never in my wildest dreams would I have such an amazing experience with a small food cart if that's what it's called. Thai meals on wheels is located on Clinton and Montague street in Brooklyn Heights. The aroma of the food is what attracted me to it you can smell all the spices and especially the chillies in the air. I glanced at the menu and the pictures posted trying to decide what to order so far I have had the cashew nut chicken over rice , the dumplings, tom yum soup, drunken noodles and thai iced tea. So far they have never disappointed me. The one thing I keep coming back for more is the cashew nut chicken over rice. It is very flavorful and the added spice from the chillies gives it such and authentic flavor. Your best bet is to order ahead and pick up because at lunch time there is usually a line and they get really busy fast.

    Have been here many times now and it is definitely deserving of five stars. The people who work the cart are kind, attentive and best of all, make great food! The khao man ghai is a particular highlight, the chicken is silky goodness and the sauce is delish! My go to is the chicken with cashew nut over rice. A big helping with plenty of chicken and veggies. They make a mean Thai ice tea as well. Honestly, you probably can't go wrong here.

    So freaking good. Love they have Tofu as an option! I've had 5 orders from them and referred 15 of my peers. We just keep going back! Love the Tofu Pad See Ew and Tofu Pad Kee Mao. For meals w/ chicken--the Chicken Garlic Sauce over rice is A HIT! Pineapple Fried Rice is banging too! The Pad Thai honestly wasn't my favorite as it wasn't seasoned at the bottom but shake it up a little, seasoning from the top makes its way down. Peanut Curry w/ rice is a smaller serving than others, but good too! I call before I walk over, and my meal is ready when I arrive. Only thing--cash only Very happy customer!

    Welcome to this super friendly and kind guy!

    I walk by this street every day as I work in the area. Today for the first time I saw this food stand, I was very early, I was not satisfied with the lunch I had, I needed some comfort food, even just a bite, before work, and the cart says Thai food.... so Yessssss! And I love leftovers so - if any - I will finish it tonight. The guy is super nice, his "kitchen" looked super clean and when I asked what kind of noodle he would suggest, he said the Kua Gai. Perfect, I wanted flat noodles and not much sauce. This one is like, for us Italians, Spaghetti Aglio Olio e Peperoncino! I like that it was a clean taste, spicy enough but not overwhelming (just tell him how spicy you want it) simple and well made. No sauce. I added shrimps but they have tofu, beef or chicken options too. The guy is new here , just a couple of days he said. Open from 10.30am to 5pm but not sure is 7/7 or if he is here in Weekends too... I will ask him !

The platter comes with perfectly seasoned chicken over rice, along with fresh lettuce and tomatoes. I got the famous white sauce and hot sauce on the side so I could add as much as I wanted, and both took the dish to the next level. The chicken was flavorful, tender, and paired perfectly with the rice. The portion was generous and incredibly filling, making it an excellent value. Everything tasted fresh, and I honestly enjoyed every bite. That said, it was so good I could probably eat two platters!

I don't go as much as I use to, as the price has more than doubled since 2017/18. However, that has nothing to do with my rating. My problem is that meats have gone downhill. I used to love gyro meat - never sure what it was exactly lamb or beef - but now it is just gross and greasy. The chicken which used to be excellent is now very dry. The white sauce is great and the rice is fine, but that is it. Not worth getting anymore. Maybe one of their competitors is better, can't really be worse.

    When we got here around 6 PM on a Friday, there was already kind of a long line, so I don't even…read morewant to think about what it would've looked like 5 hours from then. But I'm very glad I got this now so I don't have to care about how long that potential line would be. It was around 20-25 minutes before we ordered and got our food. I had the mix platter - which consists of lamb and chicken over yellow rice with pita and lettuce. To that I added fries, white sauce, and hot sauce. Although the hot sauce was weirdly just missing. I guess they forgot it. I just have to mention the portion first. This is a gigantic amount of food. Anyone who can finish all of this in one sitting has either just had a bacchanalian night of drinking or has appetite of a mammoth. I respect them either way. But I got two-thirds through this before tapping out. Sometimes with huge portions you see the volume being disproportionally overstuffed by copious amounts of rice, but here they had equal portions of lamb and chicken as well. It's truly an equitable extravagance. Outside the portion, I really liked the taste as well. The fries were a fantastic addition I would recommend to everyone coming here - as they mixed in with the rice to add that extra textural crunch (they actually stayed crispy basically the whole time). The lamb was quite fatty and very juicy. The chicken was mostly standard, but decent still. I liked the way the pita gave you a different way to eat rather than just with a spoon - so you could mix up the eating mechanisms. The first thing you need to do is mix everything together; that's how you get the white sauce to coat everything. And this white sauce is really good. I really wish they hadn't forgotten the hot sauce as it would've added the necessary spiciness to how rich and garlicky the white sauce was. For just 13 dollars ($3 addon for the fries) this is an incredible deal. Probably some of the best value you can find in Midtown. Overall, this place that justifies a lot of the hype. I will say I wouldn't wait more than 30 minutes in line for this, but if it's less than that - I'll be jumping at the chance. 9.25/10

I stumbled upon it around lunchtime and saw a long line stretching down the block. Normally, that would be a deterrent -- but I quickly realized everyone was there for a reason.

He's one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet -- greeting regulars by name, joking with the crowd, and hustling behind the grill like a pro. Pro tip: Get there early.

They're pretty busy around noon, but I'm always able to get my lunch within 15 minutes. They are cash only, but they do also take venmo or zelle.

No place to sit to eat, so just be mindful of that - especially since the containers they give you the food in can be super hot! We ordered one fresh shrimp rice roll, and waited about 10 minutes for our food to come out. It is PIPING hot so it was hard to hold and eat, but we managed. The first few bites were delicious and the rice roll was super silky. However I felt like since it was shoved inside the plastic container, the rice roll keeps cooking in its own heat, and thus got overly goopy. Still, I enjoyed the cheap snack on the street, but have definitely had better long-standing rice rolls in NY.
