    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!

The prices are a little on the high side, but after tasting the food, it's easy to understand why. The quality of the meat is fantastic and every bite was packed with incredible smoky flavor. The seasonings were perfectly balanced, and the flavors absolutely exploded in your mouth. The meats are without a doubt the stars of the show. The BBQ sauces complemented the smokiness perfectly without overpowering the meat. Each sauce brought something different to the table, making it fun to mix and match with the various meats. The sides, however, didn't quite live up to the same standard for me. The potato salad and mac and cheese were just okay and weren't my personal favorites. My son ordered the pimento Mac and cheese and that's just not my favorite. The potato salad had a kick to it. But the flavor was good. Just not my jam but definitely worth looking into! Overall, this is a very solid BBQ spot that absolutely lives up to the hype. If you're looking for high-quality smoked meats with amazing flavor and excellent customer service, this place is definitely worth checking out. I'd happily come back again

We got the brisket, pulled duck, house sausage, house boudin, the crawfish cornbread stuffing, and the mac & cheese. I think the brisket was my favorite, but I also liked the boudin--it was my first time having it. We also wanted to try the duck because you don't see that at many barbecue places it was good. It had a nice citrusy marinade. The mac & cheese was really good too. They were sold out of the dessert, but I would've gotten that as well. This food truck is located at the Austin Beer Works on Springdale. There's lots of outdoor seating and indoor seating as well. We happened to be there on a busy day because they had a three year anniversary celebration at the ABW.

    ABSOLUTE BANGER OF TX BBQ! Here's why:…read more Arrived at 11:05AM to beat any possibility of a crowd; still wasn't the first customer, but definitely in the TOP 5. For my order, I got an order of the Za'atar & Pomegranate Glazed Pork Ribs ($17), 1 Lamb Chop ($9.50), and an Egyptian Mac n' Cheese (made COWBOY - added smoked brisket) ($15). Total came to $41.50. First of all, the space is spacious! There are two areas for eating outside --- and although I never went "inside", I did see a building with people going in-and-out of, I assume that's part of the establishment as well? A good amount of fans to keep you comfortable during your stay which is a nice touch. Let's go to the food: I had to give the mac n' cheese the first try --- I've been disappointed too many times before. LOVED IT! First of all, KG BBQ use shells for their mac, and it's not just "queso" --- its seasoned, has some tomato in it, and when it's made "Egyptian" --- you add that beautiful amount of brisket and sauce which just enhance the whole dish. The ribs were also phenomenal. They were fall off the bone tender, but not fragile in any way. The marinade was amazing, and topped with pieces of pomegranate and served with some spiced onions, it's the COMPLEXITY. Often times with TEXAS BBQ, it gets heavy quick. Having these contrasting yet complimentary flavors just makes you want to eat more! It's a complete sensory experience, visually, smell, and taste. The famous lamb chop was also amazing, and served with a little herb concoction on the side that is again --- needed --- to cut through the richness of the meat and fattiness. I've heard some complaints from food bloggers which is valid: there is a good amount of fat on each of these chops, so you better SAVOR the meat on that chop! It'll be done in a few bites! Only feedback? Food temp. It wasn't cold, but it wasn't hot either. In any case, I was thoroughly pleased by KG BBQ and you should definitely pay a visit!

There was a series of singles getting doughnuts and they were a little done up for the occasion. Who knows.
