    Not a bad place to chow down! I came during SXSW so the prices were skewed a bit so I pretended to eat the food whenever its regular price :) I had the banh mih and potstickers. the potstickers weren't excellent but weren't bad either. Just solid potstickers you find at any asian restaurant. The crispiness was there but I didn't get that flavourful bite on the inside as I would at some top dumpling houses. The banh mih was quite interesting. Not your traditional banh mih since they used a thai style curry with coconut shavings on the meatballs. Was pretty solid but I can see why some people won't like the unique flavor. All in all, a decent food truck! I'll definitely be back to try the noodles since that's what they are known for.

    Omg the best. I've been wanting to come here when the food truck is here,but they're only on 3rd/Congress on Wednesday's. I ordered the golden nuggets and subbed the rice for the Singapore noodles. Was not disappointed!! Will be coming back and trying more of the food

    I am so glad I caught them before their respite! It was so tasty, and will be definitely ordering once you are opened back up!

    Delightful Friendly Gals? Deep Fried Goodness? Destined For Greatness? So, I was at work, had no lunch plans, was starving, and not motivated by our office park's usual Tuesday food truck offering (hot dogs). So, I thought I'd run an errand and see if something inspired me. As I turned onto Research, I saw the DFG (which stands for "Dang F'ing Good Asian street food") at the nearby Schwab office park, and pulled over. There was a decent amount of folks waiting, but no one in line to order, so I walked right up. The young lady who helped me was charming, and offered suggestions (in a kind way, not in a 'hurry up and choose something already' way). Though she suggested their take on pho, even though it was about a bazillion degrees outside. I went with "The Scholar" (stir fried, marinated vermicelli noodles, with little diced bits of spiced ham/spam, pork belly, chinese greens and shallots, with Sambal chili sauce on top) because: pork belly. Instead of committing to the large, I got the "medium" (which is the smallest size), and used the cheaper price to justify adding a fried egg, as well as a side of the fried dark meat chicken "Golden Nuggets". Each was an additional $1.50. The food came out lightning fast, which means that everything was just being kept warm until needed for assembly later. This may have been why the egg seemed a little more done than I prefer. Half the yolk was hard cooked. It did add good flavor, so that's a plus. I found the noodles to be too broken (or cut?) to be as fun to eat with the provided chopsticks. Credit where credit is due, the provided chopsticks were the nicer rounded ones that didn't have to be snapped apart. I'd say that even if you "don't like spicy food", you should mix a bit of the Sambal (that's like unblended Sriracha, right?) in to make it more interesting. The fried chicken was the tasty highlight. I wonder if they would just sell me two sides of that... Overall a decent work-lunch option, but nothing blew me away (though the fried chicken was almost there). The way I did it, though, it was an $11 entree, at a slightly smallish portion. So not something I'm likely to frequently do. 3.45 stars

    As I am eating the Malay - which is curry sauce covered in rice and your choice of protein. I got fried chicken! Ugh, I know what I'm eating every Thursday for lunch at work... Taste like home!

    Update: Thank you, DFG for taking the time out to respond to my review and suggest a sweet sauce I can add - I am sure that will help! Tried DFG for the first time after seeing what a long line they had and figuring something with that much attention must be good! First off, they should get mad credit for their speed and attention to detail. I think their small menu allows them to turn customers super fast, while still being able to make substitutions and customizations. They staff were so incredibly friendly, it blew me away. The food was great, and I'm glad I followed the staff's advice on doing a scholar sub (that had both elements of the scholar and of the golden nuggets) so I could try a bit of both worlds, but I felt like the dish was seriously lacking in a sweet element. The portion size was good (even for a medium - they offer larger sizes as well) but I didn't really scarf it down the way I had planned because I needed that sweetness. All in all, I think this is a fantastic lunch spot if you are in the area. You can't beat that service !

    * 5 / 5 stars 3 words - Dang. F'ing. Good. DFG is so aptly named... man this place is the bomb dot com. I look forward to it so much every Wednesday that I have a calendar invite in my outlook so that I don't forget (tbh, I don't need the calendar invite because i will never forget to go). First and foremost, the food is TOP QUALITY. Yes, the menu is tiny and they're cooking out of a food truck, but the taste is a ten out of ten. My favorite order is The Scholar with Curry on top. It's always piping hot, very fresh, and nothing is ever soggy (i.e. the noodles are kept separate and the green onion garnish is always put on top at the last minute). The portions are also very generous, and well plated and covered in foil for easy transport back to the office. Their customer service is also on point. Sometimes the line gets very long, but you can tell the crew is busting their butt to get through that line as fast as they can. Everyone is friendly, and the woman taking the orders (potentially the owner?) ALWAYS smiles and thanks customers. They also have a nice loyalty program where if you go there 10 times, you get a little reward :) Finally, just a last shoutout to DFG for keeping it real and repping the Filipino / Malay food out here in Austin. It's awesome to get that kind of variety here - truly a breath of fresh air. There was pork adobo on the specials menu the other week and I couldn't believe it. I doubt you can get that anywhere else in Austin. Thanks DFG!

    Fun looking truck!

    Parish BBQ is officially on my Top 3 most recommended barbecue places in Austin! The creole/cajun…read moreflavors are so unique and such an excellent twist to break away from the mundanity of "just another BBQ spot." The Food I Got/What You Should Get: - Pulled Duck: MUST TRY! The pulled duck was an absolute showstopper. It was incredibly moist and tender that it basically melted like butter when I ate it. And with the chicharrón, it was absolutely excellent. I actually cried. Don't judge me but I literally cried. - Sliced Brisket: Your run of the mill brisket with both moist and dry portions. Not a standout by any means but still great. - Pimento Mac and Cheese: MUST TRY! My favorite side and one that I am now recommending to anyone that will let me tap about it. The creaminess of the cheese sauce was perfectly balanced with an explosion of robust creole flavors. I actually think it might be the best in the city. - Cream Corn Maque Choux: A nice soulful blend of that creole based seasoning that is a nice answer/touch away from terry blacks sweet cream corn. Highly recommend. Other Things to Know - They have two sauces that you can try. I recommend their tabasco vinegar red sauce which they say they make with a strawberry purée. The creole mustard is good but the red sauce is so unique and flavorful. - The pickles are also a really surprising stand out as well. If you are a pickle lover, you will absolutely adore these. Service/Experince - Parish runs a food truck that runs outside of Austin Beerworks back area. - Something to consider is that it did not have an awning when we first came here and during the Austin summer that was a big deal. We could t stay outside for more than 4-5 minutes but luckily the buzzers they give you can reach the inside of the Beerworks. - The staff was extremely friendly and were willing to chat through all of the different ways they make their food, sauces and etc. I really appreciated their kindness as I talked their ear off about food in Austin haha. - The area where the trailer sits was under construction when we first went so it was a little dusty with construction signs everywhere, but that never deterred me from a good meal!! Overall: - This is a must try place to eat. Go get some BBQ and then go inside to get a beer from Austin Beerworks. What an incredible edition to the city!

    parish is located in the back of austin beerworks…read more ended up doing the holy trinity which comes with 3/4 lbs of brisket, 3/4 lbs of ribs, and a sausage as well as 3 sides which we did the potato salad and 2 orders of mac n cheese. also got the boudin balls (star of the show) the brisket was quite dry to be honest. the ribs were stellar, fall off the bone and well seasoned as a standalone meat. the pimento mac n cheese was al dente and thick with their cheese sauce. i always appreciate the thoughtfulness of a place that includes bread crumbs on their mac n cheese. the boudin balls were amazing due to their addition of brisket!! it was so peppery and savory with a crust that wasn't too thick nor thin. the potato salad was standard, not super memorable. overall yummy and they were super nice !!
