    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!

    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 !

    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!

    * 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!

Now the flautas plate looked pretty decent actually, but the taste didn't hold up to its looks. Nothing had flavor. The mexican rice was just red white rice with carrots in it. No tomato flavor, or any flavor was in them at all. And the beans were eh, just nothing special to even mention. The best thing about this place was their salsa though! Helped tremendously with the rest of the foods flavor. Now the lemonade, pretty good. Not the best, but for sure helped with the rest of the meal. The service was excellent, but I just wish the food could be on par with the taste of the food. All in all, Im glad I tried it to remember to do a deeper dive on where I go to eat next time.

Well because sometimes you have meat loving friends who want to eat barbecue and you don't want to miss out on socialization. As well I figure if the place can make sides good then hopefully that means their barbecue is good right? Located behind Batch Craft Beer and Kolaches, this barbecue trailer is super fun place to bring large groups/family as it has large outdoor seating area with picnic tables and a turf area for the kids to run around and play in. There were other trailers in the back as well, but we focused on Parish which is BBQ with a Cajun twist. We came right when they opened on Saturday at 11 am and was pleasantly surprised there wasn't a long wait. However will say by the time we ordered and got our food the popular items like pulled duck and rolls were sold out by 1 pm. We a vegetarian almost all the sides were vegetarian. I really enjoyed the pimento Mac and cheese (as did my whole group and was unanimous the favorite side out of all the sides). It's slightly sweeter than regular Mac and cheese because of the peppers. I also liked the creole tomato salad as it was nice and refreshing. The potato salad was nothing to write home about. However you must get the fried pistolette rolls!! They were DELICIOUS, buttery but not too heavy and honestly weren't overly fried. Parking wise they have shared parking but plenty of street parking if the parking lot is full.

They had to go containers available at the truck if you needed them. The portions looked small but were actually pretty filling. 1/2 lb Pomegranate and Za'atar Glazed Pork Ribs ($17): Came with 2 ribs that were okay. They were a little dry and lacking flavor on their own but tasted much better dipped in the pomegranate barbecue sauce. Combo Rice Bowl ($20): Came with mediterranean yellow rice, baladi salad, sauce, protein, cinnamon candied nuts, and pomegranate seeds. For the combo, you get to choose 2 proteins. I went with brisket and kofta (ground beef and lamb). Both were really good but a tad salty so the baladi salad helped balance that out. Egyptian Cowboy ($15): I chose lamb for this and it was the star of the show. The pulled lamb shoulder was incredibly tender and flavorful. The smoked mac and cheese was really good too but the rich bechamel was a bit much for us. The sumac pickled onions helped balance out the heaviness of both the mac and cheese and the lamb shoulder. Cardamom Pistachio Rice Pudding ($9.50): Pricey for rice pudding but I wanted to try the unique flavor. It was light but the cardamom flavor was strong. Interesting to try once but I wouldn't order it again.
