Don’t walk, run to Zapp Thai! Easily the best Thai in sb. The best pork belly I have ever had, best pad thai, the khao soi was 🔥 and the owner was so friendly! Amazing experience 10/5 would recommend

As a Pad Thai enthusiast, I make it a point to try it at every Thai restaurant I can. This is, hands down, the best Pad Thai in town—a 10 out of 10, and it’s priced better than the competition. Everything about it was just right, though I do wish they offered a pork option. The real surprise, however, was the Papaya Salad. I had practically given up on ordering it elsewhere because no one makes it authentically. This place nailed it. The spice level was perfect! It was so incredible that I immediately went back and ordered a second box. If you love authentic flavor and a good amount of heat, you have to try it. The lady in the truck was very nice and authentically Thai!

Great food. Korean style chicken wings are top notch. My family loved all the food and service was great. Ate inside the brewery that is next door.

Not only is the food great, well priced and made with intention. The owners are amazing and committed to making authentic, flavorful and unique takes on traditional Thai dishes. They serve meals from different regions of Thailand with passion and knowledge. Just a heads up these are the people who own empty bowl and wabi sabi in public market. Major street cred right there. PS the beer is super good inside. 😏

This Thai food truck is hands-down my favorite spot in Goleta. The menu is small but packed with bold, authentic flavors — real street food vibes done right. Every dish I’ve tried has been spot-on, with generous portions and fair pricing. Nui and Buck are super friendly and welcoming, which just adds to the charm. Service is always quick, and they’ve got the confidence to set up near a brewery — which is perfect, because grabbing a cold beer while I wait makes the experience even better. If you’re in the area and craving great Thai food without the fuss, this is a must-visit. Favorite dishes: Pad Thai & drunken noodle Frequent: Eat here biweekly.
