THAI BOX ON TRUCK VANCOUVER

THAI BOX ON TRUCK REVIEWS

• Having been to Thailand and trying the real Thai food, this truck does the best. I like to say that I'm particular about Pad Thai and Pad See Ew after experiencing the best in Thailand, and they do the job so well.
  
  Who cares about others nitpicking about small things but if you want real thai food, and all you care about the flavor, authenticity and good portion, this is a truck to go to. I used to be a Super Thai Food truck fan but their portions are smaller but they taste great as well. The Thai Box on Truck owner is so nice and his wife works hard in the kitchen. They deserve all the praise and support from the locals.
  
  Sometimes I'm reading other people's negative posting, I feel like they are missing the big picture. It's not easy to run the food truck business and I know they are doing their best in general. Remember, they don't change the flavor to match the western style. They make it authentic and everyone's tastes are subjective.

• Finally got the chance to try out this truck the other day when it was parked outside of Joyce skytrain station. I got a chicken pad thai ($13) but the cashier charged me $14, make sure to check just in case next time before you paid like I did. There was a hawker who cooked the noodles in a wok and the cashier would add the finishing garnishes such as bean sprouts, lime, shredded carrots and peanuts. For anyone who has allergies or is a vegan/vegetarian, I warn you to be careful because there is cross contamination on the wok. I have a strong shrimp allergy and when I ate my chicken pad thai I got a reaction right away. Onto the pad thai - it was a big portion and was still piping hot 20 minutes later when I ate it. There were lots of noodles, meats and veggies but I didn't like the fact that they added cabbage, the cabbage tasted weird and bitter. The tamarind pad thai sauce they also used was weirdly a bit too sweet which I wasn't a fan of. Also, because they fry it on a hot wok, you will find yourself encountering tiny little pieces of hard burnt black char that you will have to spit out which is very frustrating. I'm glad that I was able to try the truck so I no longer have the curiousity, I just am not a fan.

• Have been back for several more lunches and wow - Thai box on Truck really delivers! They are a little unpredictable with their schedule so don't bank on them being in the same space, or even there at all every Monday/Weds. When they are though, it is a special treat in my book, and the best Thai food money can buy for many blocks in any direction!!
  
  I've stuck with the Basil Chicken and would highly recommend it. A few times it has come out a bit spicier than I would have liked, but you can always request it to be less spicy.
  
  Thanks TBOT! 🙂

• I wouldn't recommend this place. You're getting the wait time, portion size and price of a restaurant and the food quality of a food truck - worst of both worlds. There were somewhat large chunks of uncooked green onion in my food, and there was something definitely off with the peanuts off to the side - some of the pieces were black, and they tasted stale, not crunchy at all. I'm feeling a stomachache.
  
  Not worth the exorbitant price at all.

• Great food, nice sized portions, good value, you can ask for a higher spice level if you like, for me 3-4 is great, I like a bit of heat though. They make everything fresh to order so I typically pay and use the time to walk around a block or two, enjoy the sunshine.
