    The setting: Casual modern lunch truck vibe, tons of seating all around here in this food truck mecca around the corner from Chase Center. The meal: I wanted something simple and relatively healthy, so I ordered the fire grilled chicken bowl here from the friendly crew. In about five minutes, I had before me a perfectly prepared good sized portion of char-grilled dark meat chicken chopped into several slices placed over a heaping bed of white rice, with a green salad on the side. The chicken was hot, moist and juicy but to me, it needs a bit more seasoning or kick to it. I was also hoping for some salad dressing to bring a bit of zing to the fresh salad, but there wasn't any on it. to be fair, I'll ask for dressing if I try this again. In short, it was a well prepared, but a bit bland. Maybe they just forgot to put on the vinaigrette dressing on mine.. With a bit of seasoning or condiments, this Fire grilled chicken bowl could be pretty tasty. Verdict: I should have gone for the crab fried rice instead. Maybe next time!

    The Vietnamese Sticky Wings after we attacked the container!

    Stumbled on Spark Beer Garden and found Wicked Star as 1 of the variety of food trucks available. We tried the Vietnamese Sticky Wings and the Thai Chicken Salad. Both were generous portions and very delicious. We even took home some yummy essentials for the next day. I was glad their food came in compostable paper containers!

    My boyfriend's sassy request
    Judy L.

    My boyfriend and I visited Wicked Star when we were at Spark Social SF! Wicked Star was one of the food trucks there and caught our eye. We ordered from Wicked Star (Vietnamese American Fusion). At Wicked Star, we kept it light and got the Thai Chicken Salad and the Vietnamese Sticky Wings. Everything tasted delish and we had no complaints! I like that there was a good amount of chicken and avocado in the salad, and the chicken was full of flavor and we enjoyed the Fish Sauce as the dressing. The sticky wings were also very good - I can't really do spicy and they were very accommodating, making my half of the wings non-spicy :') The slider was yummy and not too greasy which we enjoyed!

    Pork Belly and Lime Bowl
    Maggie C.

    I've been duped by the photos and description plastered on the side of the truck. I got the pork belly lime bowl and wasn't impressed. What was advertised as crispy, flavorful looking pork belly came out looking parboiled and limp. The supposed fish sauce was barely there. Another patron returned to the truck to ask for more sauce while I was waiting. The rice was mushy and wet. Sorry to say it but Wicked Star...you are mostly wicked with little star.

    Thai Chicken Salad
    Chris W.

    Love the Thai chicken salad, it's juicy clean refreshing. But oh boy, do not ever order through DoorDash. I've placed 4 different DoorDash orders in the past year for pick up, and they never check DoorDash orders until you ask about it when pick up is due. No point in ordering ahead of time - they only pay attention to the onsite kiosk orders. Once they retrain staff I will consider increasing the rating, their Thai chicken salad is just too good. Our friend got their crab fried rice and leaves much to be desired.

    Vietnamese Sticky Wings
    Yvana J.

    Please beware and check your wings before ordering! I've gotten the Vietnamese sticky wings from here before and they were good. However, when receiving my wings today, as I was walking I realized the container wasn't hot. I opened it and the wings were completely cold and incredibly soggy, but I had no time to walk back. I only made it through two wings when I realized that all of the meat was truly cold and chewy, and had a horrible taste. I have no idea what happened today, but it was absolutely unacceptable.

    Melissa H.

    Made the mistake of not ordering what the cashier recommended. They recommended the Panko Shrimp and the Crab Fried Rice. I ordered the wings. Do not order these!!! The skin was way too thick, and they were not freshly cooked. The quality of the meat also wasn't great. It was ready in less than 5 minutes which makes me think it was reheated. The flavors on the outside weren't bad, but I really wouldn't recommend this. This is located in the Spark Social food truck area.

    White Lotus. Wrong sauce.
    Andy K.

    I like their white Lotus and order it a lot. The experience of ordering through their Snackpass app leaves a lot to be desired, however. The app said they opened at 11 -- they opened 15 minutes late. The app said my food was ready -- it wasn't ready until at least 15 minutes later. I had to wait 25 minutes from the time I ordered until my food was ready. Also, no apologies or any explanation. Probably not ordering from here for a while.

    Crab fried rice $13.50
    Benita M.

    I love food trucks. This Thai Viet fusion sounded interesting so I decided to give it a try. You order from a kiosk. They take both cash and card. After ordering, my food was ready in like 2-3 minutes.. sus... This felt like such a big scam. For $13.50, I expected a box full of rice; not a shared space with salad. The rice looks so bland and all I really taste is black pepper. The crab was there but there's a ton of shell. I'm pretty sure I only got 1 egg because there's not much in the fried rice. 2000% skip this if you're considering.

    Crab Fried Rice ($14.95) - 2.5 stars. Overpriced. I tasted crab shell. Not enough crab, egg, or veggies. Salad was sad. Sun lunch 2023-08-27

    Crab fried rice ($14.95) - 2.5 stars Overpriced and underdelivered! I tasted bits of crab shell in this. And overall did not think there was enough flavor or crab, or other veggies. The side sald was incredibly sad, just lettuce and tomato, no flavor. I would not get this again.

    sticky chicken
    Margie L.

    I always like to try food trucks,it was nice to go to a place with so many food truck choices in one park,i decided to check this one out,and i ordered sticky chicken.it was just ok on the sweetness and sticky part,the chicken in my own taste could have been better if a little crisp.

    My experience with spark social has been mixed. Last time I ordered from a Korean place and it was awful. This place however is great. Got the grilled chicken with rice and salad all came and it's $12 ish. And the passion fruit lemonade. $5 also yummy. Would be back.

    Food is ok it gets the job done. Ordered crab fried rice w/chicken, and fried prawns. It also includes a side salad with an amazing litr vinergarette. The rice was not a day old, lol, and the chicken could have been cooked a little longer, more char. The shrimps now those were fried to perfection. Order was simple walk up yo yhe kiosk place, and they'll text you when it's ready. It took about 10 minutes if that was to make. You do have to ask for sauces and napkins.

    The minute I saw interior pictures on Yelp, I knew I had to come here; every restaurant with good…read moredecor takes their food more seriously, and I was not disappointed. I came on Sunday around 5:30, and was seated immediately. The steady influx/outflux of customers never made it seem too quiet, even though only half the restaurant was utilized. If you decide to come here, I recommend avoiding the Thai staples like Pad Thai and Tom Yum, and ordering at least 1 dish from the "From the Chef" section. This place feels more authentic with more unique offerings compared to your regular run of the mill Thai place (they are mostly government sponsored anyways). I ordered a Papaya salad (Som Tum Poo Pla), a Shrimp Paste Fried Rice, and Roasted Pork with Crispy Pork Belly. For starters, the Papaya salad with a bigger price tag is not for the faint of heart. There is a load of fish sauce, and combined with anchovies, makes for an...acquired dish. I was told by my server that it's pretty authentic, but it's a little too authentic and reminds me of Natto or Beijing tofu juice. The Shrimp Paste Fried rice is a must order; the spread is very instagram worthy and gives me vague paella vibes in terms that it's shareable and good for parties 2-4. I did not see this dish at other Thai restaurants I've been to, so I'd consider pretty unique. Just be mindful that it's on the sweeter side, and the chilis on the side are very, very spicy, so allocate accordingly. The Roasted Pork with Crispy Pork Belly was by far the star of the show. The skin was super crispy, and the pork itself was super tender, melt in your mouth feeling. The flavors and seasonings were perfect, with just a hint of basil to elevate the entire taste. A true adventure for the taste buds, and a must order as a shareable. Service was super friendly, and my waiter answered all my questions with a smile, and even gave us his recommendations since we wanted to stray away from the basic thai food orders. This place is a must come to if you're looking for true authentic Thai food from a chef that has pride in his work. I can't wait to come back to try their other unique dishes!

We ordered a spread and everything that came out was delicious. The Lao style papaya salad was a little on the salty side but was so packed with umami that it was hard to stop going back for more. The balance of bold flavors is exactly what you want from a good papaya salad. The roasted duck curry was a standout -- creamy, rich, and beautifully balanced without letting the duck flavor get too overpowering. The crying tiger spicy basil chicken, crab fried rice, and eggplant tofu all held their own too. Honestly no weak links across the whole table. The ambiance added to the whole experience -- dark and moody in the best way, the kind of setting that just makes dinner feel a little more special. Fair warning though, it does get a little loud as the night picks up so maybe not the spot for an intimate quiet dinner, but perfect for a fun night out with friends. Saap Ver, we will definitely be back!

We trie the crispy rolls ($12), papaya salad ($14.50), drunken noodle ($17.25), pad see ew ($17.25) and choo chee salmon ($23.95). The crispy rolls were vegetarian and came with a side of sweet chili dipping sauce. It was a standard roll, nothing to complain about but not something I would go out of my way for. Papaya salad was fresh and came with lettuce leaves as well. A solid app to split with a small group. I didn't try the drunken noodles as the group wanted beef in it, but I heard it was good. We decided to get tofu as the protein for the pad see ew, and it definitely hit the spot. However, I'd say the choo chee salmon was the winner.

I'd order it again to see if it was just an off day for the sauce. It's a small restaurant & filled quickly at lunch. Many Asians eating there which told me it would be good. Restrooms were slippery so be careful but clean. Overall I would come again!

When it comes to food, we all already know that dessert comes last as to cleanse the palette, but what about when it comes to an arrangement like this? I was on a quest to discover the cosmic order that transcended preference. I am not a scientist, but I know when a couple meets, 1+1=4. Peanut butter + jelly are way better together instead of by themselves. There was more than to these 6 dishes served individually as they were served together to create a far greater experience. Chicken & rice is a classic combo that really transcends cultures. I ended up pouring my "Thai Massaman Peanut curry with chicken" on the rice. The rice really soaked up the juices, it was so good. Next, my mouth experienced contrast therapy. It experienced a nice sauna from the hot chicken curry and took a cold plunge from the "Central Thai-style green papaya salad". The one thing that I could not understand was the "Thai coconut mushroom soup". It was sour and really interrupted my contrast therapy. Next time, I'll figure that out. The "Sautéed Butternut Squash" you could really eat in between everything. It complimented the chicken as something savory. When I wanted a break from the chicken, I took a stab at the squash. The "Homemade Pudding" was ate at the end and it was OK. I got the Coconut, but the sugar tasted off. I am very picky with sugar, I cannot have any processed sugar, I cut that stuff out 5 years ago and life could never be better. Overall, the mystery really turned this into a 5/5 experience. The "Homemade pudding" despite being ok, still did its job of cleansing the palette. With regards to the "Thai coconut mushroom soup", I just didn't understand the art. Whoever does understand the art or who has written a book about it, please please refer it to me.
