This place is cute. The girl working there is cute. The carrots are cute. I like this place. I tried the Cashew Chicken and the Pad Prik Pao. The Pad Prik Pao has a pepper to indicate spicyness, but it's really not very spicy. I liked it a lot, the flavor was sweet and bold, and the sauce over the rice was SO GOOD. I'll admit the rice was a little dry. But the sauce was soooo yummy. The slight spicyness complimented the sweetness of the sauce, and the vegetables were lovely with it. I enjoyed the chicken as well. This is a cute trailer with hard working people who make Austin awesome. Props for Coat & Thai, I'll come here again bitches!!! And I'll try their curry, I'm a curry whore. read more

There have only been 2 places in my life where I've had sticky decadent Pad Thai: a joint in San Antonio and a place in Chicago. I've gone to hundreds of Thai restaurants trying to find a place that can replicate my favorite pad Thai and no such luck....UNTIL I came across Coat & Thai last night. They really hit the nail on the head with their Pad Thai. Noodles are sticky with a decadent sauce that gives a little kick at the end with vegetables well incorporated into it. I ordered peanut sauce on the side to lather all over it. The two compliment each other very well. I will be back 100% guaranteed! Edit: I ate my leftovers today and they taste even BETTER than last night! read more

This is the best Thai food I've had in Austin, especially for the money. The Pad Thai is incredible. Luckily I live close by and am able to order from here 3-4 times a week. They know my order by heart now lol. They use vermicelli rice noodles (pho noodles), instead of the traditional flat rice noodles for the Pad Thai, which is an absolute game changer, never really particularly liked pad Thai before eating here. My order typically consists of the Shrimp Pad Thai spicy 5 with no veggies, and the Green Curry spicy 5 with no veggies with the protein on the side. You have to try dipping the pad Thai instead of the white rice in the curry, words can't describe how good it is. I normally can't finish it all. On top of that, you have the side of rice and protein of your choice that comes with the curry as a midnight snack, essentially making 3 entrees for $20. Toss some sriracha on the side of rice and heat up the protein and you're all set. The owners are incredible and I don't know what I'm going to while they are in Thailand for their yearly month long trip back home. She even told me she would bring me back traditional Thai spices since they know I love incredibly spicy dishes. Shows that they value their customers! 10/10 would recommend to anyone! read more

Pulled up to this food truck because I literally smelled it from the street! There were about 8 trucks but we were lured to this one and were not disappointed. We ordered the crab Ran Goon and a cold lychee drink. The Ran Goon was good but the crab filled center just didn't do it for me. It wasn't bad, just wasn't good either. We sampled some of the other trucks but came back for the spring rolls and spicy Pad Thai noodles with chicken. It was very good. Food was hit and spicy just like I asked. When I asked her to make it spicy, the attendant asked what number I wanted- on a scale from 1-5 with 5 being the hottest thank God I picked 2 or else I would have died from the chile. It's worth the stop. read more

I really enjoyed Coat & Thai! My boyfriend ordered the cashew chicken and my friend ordered the yellow curry. I personally thought the cashew chicken was big enough for two people but I do tend to eat smaller servings. I loved the cashew chicken, it was flavorful and paired well with the white rice. I would say the yellow curry was a bit watery but it was still rich in flavor and delicious when paired with both the cashew chicken and white rice. We took the food to go but the food truck area is well lit and had many places to sit at. Additionally, parking wasn't too much of a hassle and it was free. read more

When I go to Austin, I have to stop by the food trucks. On a recent trip with some friends, I chose this little truck. I was craving some pad thai and wanted chicken and shrimp. Boom. Nothing was going to stop my roll and came out to about $10 (I also got a bottled water). Not too shabby. The sauce was a bit more sweet than spicy, and my boo thought the chicken was a little bland when he tasted the chicken separately, but altogether, the pad thai was flavorful. I enjoyed it very much. Also, it was a beautiful day out so eating on the benches, listening to music, while chatting with friends was really nice. It was cool to have a wide variety of food choices in one location. read more

I sat down yesterday to eat a $13 lunch special: brown stew chicken, rice and peas, steamed…read morecabbage, and plantain, and bit into a piece of chicken that was refrigerator cold. Not lukewarm. Cold. I bit it a second time because I genuinely couldn't believe it. Meanwhile, the rice was so hot it was still visibly steaming from what I can only assume was a microwave, drowned in a watery gravy I never asked for, next to the old cabbage with solidified liquid. I brought the plate back to the counter, explained the chicken was refrigerator cold, and asked them to reheat it. I'm writing this today with an upset stomach. I wish I could say this was a one-time issue. It's not. I've been trying this restaurant, on and off, for over 15 years, and I kept giving them chance after chance because I wanted so badly for it to be good. I first met the owner when he ran a food truck, before the restaurant existed. I was excited; there weren't many Jamaicans in Austin at the time, and I was happy to support one. The rice and peas was so bad I threw the plate away. Years later, I tried the restaurant location. I ordered curry goat, took it to my car, and found the meat flavorless, fatty, and poorly trimmed; basically inedible. I threw it away in the parking lot. I later ordered oxtail through Uber Eats: flavorless again, poorly prepped meat, and an actual rock in the rice and peas. I tried introducing the child to Jamaican food with one of their beef patties, and it was dry and flavorless. Yesterday I ordered the "safest" thing on the menu, brown stew chicken, specifically because I no longer trust myself to spend real money on anything more ambitious here. I still got food that had clearly been microwaved and reheated unevenly, served with a piece of chicken that was still cold. Are we really selling microwaved leftovers out of an established restaurant with a huge kitchen? Jamaican food is something our culture takes real pride in. This restaurant has had a decade and a half to get it right, and instead I've watched it consistently cut corners on seasoning, on prep, and now on basic food safety. I don't say this lightly: if you want real Jamaican food, this isn't where you'll find it, and depending on the day, what you're served may not even be handled safely.

I got pad kee mow with tofu and veggies. The tofu was very airy, wasn't my favorite but the veggies were good. My friends got Thai basil fried rice and crab rangoons. The crab rangoons could have been filled more but had great flavor! The fried rice was great with a good mix of veggies! The owners are so nice! read more

Very delicious food, worth the trip for sure. My wife and I had pineapple fried rice and yellow curry and both were amazing. The food truck area it's in is nothing to look at but not a problem at all and has a nice sitting area in the middle. Worth the trip out. read more

Really excellent Thai food. I could eat here everyday which is saying a lot. I ordered the tofu and green curry which was hot and spicy just the way I like it and the sauce was SO flavorful. I'll definitely be making this place a regular part of my week. read more

The Pad Kra Pao Noodle (aka Pad Kee Mao at other places) was delicious. The noodles have a really perfect texture and the flavor and seasoning were spot on. Food is cooked to order and comes out piping hot. It's at Nomadic so you can just pop inside to get a great beer/cocktail/coffee to go with your food. This area is a great alternative to Leona down the street. I know Leona is the "new shiny" place, but you can get great Thai, Mexican, and cocktails here too with way less of a crowd. Highly recommended.

I ordered the pineapple fried rice, egg rolls, and Tom Yum soup to go and I was looking forward to trying it. The pineapple fried rice was dry, with very little chicken, no extra sauce, and no spice. The egg rolls had a thick, soggy wrapper. I put them in the air fryer when I got home and was able to crisp them up, but the wrapper itself was still thick and unpleasant to eat. The filling also wasn't particularly well seasoned. The Tom Yum soup was more sweet than sour and lacked the seasoning and bold flavor I expected. Overall, it was a disappointing meal.

The truck looked pretty unkept as I looked in the window as I waited for my food. When my food came, I had ordered a shrimp Pad Thai, it was missing the shrimp, which they took my meal back, cooked some shrimp, and put it on top of the dish - no redoing the meal so the flavor of the shrimp could permeate the dish (not like it would have mattered as this isn't a Pad Thai). I took 3-4 bites of my food, opened Yelp to see if I was completely crazy (the overall review rating looked very good) and as I dug into the reviews, I realized I wasn't alone. Wish I had read the reviews more closely about the food vs the 5 stars for how sweet the couple in the truck are.

Thai is my favorite cuisine (I am a chef), I've eaten it all over the world, including Thailand many times (also attended Blue Elephant cooking school Bangkok) and I eat it probably once a week in Los Angeles. We ordered two basic Thai noodle dishes, they didn't taste like any Thai food I've ever eaten. The Pad Thai did not taste like Pad Thai. It definitely had the makings for some sort of Thai based noodle dish but it wasn't anything like it should be. It tasted ok. I ate it cause I was starving. The Pad Kee Mao (they spelled it Meow) or drunken noodles did not taste good, nor did it taste anything like what drunken noodles are supposed to taste like. Couldn't eat that one. Thai leftovers are my favorite breakfast, I had no desire to eat them the next morning. They were out of the chicken sauté and egg rolls. The couple who run it are older and super nice which is probably why they get good reviews. But the food wasn't so good and it took a while to make.

(I don't have WeChat so I can't confirm) I came to the spot after looking at options on Yelp but their display menu seemed to have very limited options and I wasn't hyped over the listed options. The lady handed over another customer's order and gave some recommendations to me as she saw my indecisiveness. I'm so glad I stuck around! To be honest I don't know what the dish I got is called since I speak/understand limited Chinese but anything with noodles and beef sounded good to me. The food was very quick and is flavorful enough by itself without adding spiciness! The spicy does give it a little zing. I love how thin the beef slices are. The noodles in the dish were unique... similar to slices up scallion pancake. I was very pleasantly surprised.

When I'm craving hand pulled noodles, this is the spot. No frills, classic and delicious every time.read more
