Gotji has some creative fusion dishes that sound very intriguing so we definitely need to come back to explore more of what they have to offer! The Best Pad Thai ($18): Thai-style stir-fried rice noodles with egg, dried sweet radish, chili, garlic, crab meat, bean sprouts, and chives, topped with fried tempura shrimp, crispy shallots, tobiko, peanuts, and lime. I love pad thai, and this version delivered! The flavors were quite concentrated, so I recommend mixing the noodles thoroughly before eating. While the shrimp tempura was crunchy with a nice batter, I personally prefer the traditional proteins -- beef, chicken, pork, or tofu. BBQ Brisket Clay Pot ($19.50): A Thai-Chinese style clay pot featuring garlic, ginger, smoky brisket, onion, mushroom, Thai jasmine rice, green onion, sweet soy sauce, and chili garlic sauce. The combination didn't quite work for me and I wasn't a fan of the flavors, though my husband absolutely loved it. It's not as flavorful as the pad thai so we had to use the sauce they provided. read more

Gotji's Kitchen Buda - The Best Pad Thai and BBQ Brisket Clay Pot - Thai Near Me - Buda, Texas

If you have not tried Gotji's here is your sign. It is Legit Thai Food from a Food Truck in Buda that runs by a thai chef. In my opinion their crab rice is amazing, and I am fan of green curry. It is fast made to order. They have been super friendly. There are couple tables in front of the truck, so maybe in November you can eat outside :) Support Local Business and get Crab Rice ! They also have sometimes special like brisket etc they try Texas Fusion. read more

Gotji's Kitchen Buda - Thai Near Me - Buda, Texas

It was ok. The workers weren't very friendly and literally said nothing when I thanked them for our food. Lol, tough crowd. The sauce was really good but our food - the best pad tai, was supposed to have crab and fried shrimp and ours only had chicken. We had already left or I would have said something. Probably won't be back. read more

Situated in a prime location on Main St. in Buda, Gotji's is a perfect bite at all times! I love that so much of their food is gluten free friendly, and it is clearly marked on the menu. Every staff member I've spoken to is well aware of gluten allergy limitations from the menu, so I feel safe eating there every time! Also, every single employee I've talked to is very kind and genuinely friendly! They even let me stand under the tent as it poured rain during last weekend's Sip 'N' Stroll! Their American Pad Thai is fine, but the only Pad Thai you actually need is the Best Pad Thai! We get the tempura shrimp in the side (which they normally do to keep it crunchy anyways), and the rest of it I am fine to eat since they use real crab! I could eat that Pad Thai morning, noon, and night, and I have multiple times over the last couple years! It is hard to find fried spring rolls that are gluten free anywhere other than the frozen section at the grocery store. Gotji's has them, and they are crunchy and delicious! I could eat far too many of these and have just to grab a quick bite sometimes after a farmers market! Veggie spring rolls that are gluten free? Yes please! They also have a magical looking brisket curry that I do not think is gluten free, but we cannot wait to try it really soon! All of the curries are lovely that I've had (GF), and everything tastes fresh! For a food truck in the middle of TX, my goodness their food is comforting! Great staff, lots of great options on their menu, very well priced, and delicious! read more

I can't say enough good things about this place. The food is always so tasty no matter what plate I get. Some other places have dry saucy noodles but not this place. It's always perfect. The manager fixed the problem with my order when the Uber Eats driver basically took my food. He made sure I still got something to eat late night. I was so grateful for this type of service. You don't get that much any more. It's much more than just another food truck. Would have sat outside to enjoy the weather if I wasn't in a hurry. Will be back as always. read more

I got the fried spring rolls and the pad thai (their 'best' version) and overall I probably won't order again but it wasn't bad. I was really surprised by how good the fried spring rolls were because they had lots of flavor and a bit of spice and the sauce was great too. the tempura shrimp on the pad thai was very wet and did not have any crisp. The flavor was also stale, just not great. The pad thai wasn't special and lacked flavor. There were large pieces of egg which bothered be as I dislike egg and I don't mind it in pad thai when its small, but there was a lot of egg and it was chunky. I didn't enjoy my main dish, which is what they are known for, but I did enjoy the egg rolls. read more

This place is delicious! I've been here several times. I get excited and I'm never disappointed. The service is fast friendly. I can't wait to go back. the crab Fried rice is so good. read more

A sad update for me to give. They got rid of the Basil Fried Rice which was my moms favorite and only reason she loved to come here. They've also changed the chicken that was in their Pad Thai, it's no longer a pounded flat chicken that made it so good. :( read more

So happy to see a delicious thai place! I ordered veggie spring rolls and red curry with tofu. The spring rolls were crispy and delicious. The curry was flavorful. The service was great. They also gave me extra rice free of charge! I would definitely recommend this spot and come back to try other items. read more

I've ate there 3 times now and it's been excellent each time. Tried the Best Thai curry and 2 of their soups

Friend and me ordered delivery last night and the Tom Kha was sooo good. I was in love but a bit disappointed when i tried my pineapple fried rice (with chicken). It was pretty dry and the pineapple pieces hard. Given the price for a rice dish (priced like a full dinner dish) I would not purchase again, unfortunately. read more

This has become one of my go-to places in Buda. I cannot say enough about Gotji's Kitchen. They're great all around - most of which their offerings and dishes have all been superb. First off - the Texas Brisket Curry is DA BOMB! It started as a special menu in October, and it's become my favorite dish, I get it everytime I'm in the area, and I cannot get enough of it. It's smoky good, very savory, excellent flavor and spices. I have bought this curry for several of my Austin friends - all of which were just blown away by it. They just keep asking for more, I could easily be a self employed Uber Eats driver for this dish alone. It's phenomenal and it's always consistently great. My other favorite go-to dish here is the Pad Ka Prao Beef. It's beef with basil and spices - omg for some reason these guys have made the best Pad Ka Prao I've ever had. I get spicy level 4 (out of 5), it's so darn flavorful and it's not greasy. I have had this dish at a few other Thai places in Austin and around, and Gotji's place has been the best to date. I cannot get enough of this dish! I've also tried the Crab Fried Rice, Pad Cashew Chicken, Street Noodles, Pork and Veggie Egg Rolls, Best Curry (Seafood), Pumpkin Curry (temporarily), Crispy Chicken Dish, and Green Curry w/ Chicken. All of which were really good. I was pleasantly surprised with the Pad Cashew Chicken - very flavorful. Also the Best Curry had an array of seafood in it - very refreshing. The customer service here has always been spot-on great. They are very nice. What makes this place the best of the best is they offer excellent quality and tasting dishes, at a fair price, and they are consistently great - every time. I have had repeat orders and repeat dishes over the past few month, I visit them weekly, and it's always the same product, same excellent quality, same execution, same great flavors. Love this place!! read more

Delicious and portions are so very generous! My husband always gets the enormous seafood meal that seems to come with everything from the ocean! He loves it and the creamy sauce is to die for! I get vegetarian dishes that are all really delicious! The owner is incredibly nice and very friendly. We love this place and so glad they're in Buda! read more

We called in our order and the staff were super nice. We ordered the crab fried rice, chicken pad Thai, spring rolls and egg rolls. The crab was super fresh and not imitation crab. Personally, the taste was a bit interesting for both dishes but we added some plum sauce and it tasted much better. We always considered ourselves lovers of authentic dishes, but this food experience was a bit different for us. The rolls however were delicious and didn't disappoint. We will be back to try once more. Definitely recommend the rolls and bubble tea though. read more

Update-I have been craving some street noodles forever! So I had to make a stop and get a order and a double order of their delicious pork egg roles. They are always so nice and let you sit in your car while they prepare your food. Excellent service, delicious food, and convenient location. What more can you ask for? Go try it! read more

Not the best Pad Thai I have ever had. I wish they included more fresh green onions. I am a lover of pad thai, but that is a pad thai that I wouldn't want to have again. The service was nice. I just think they need to work on their Pad Thai. read more

Best Thai food in Texas! Love The Best Thai Pad & The Best Curry. I wasn't a fan of curry flavor until I had this dish, now it's one of my favorites. read more

I stopped for lunch at the food truck in Buda and the Crab Fried Rice was excellent. They use real blue crab and the portion is generous. The rice was exceptionally moist as well. Customer service with absolutely awesome. The woman at the truck brought the food to my vehicle although I'm sure they normally do not. The service and the food brought a smile to my face. read more

Finding a great Asian spot is always so exciting because you instantly know you're going to keep coming back - Gotji had about 9 items on their menu that I can't wait to try, and after eating what I did order - well all the more excited. The service was fantastic - the gentleman running the truck seems like a sincere good dude. What a find in Buda! read more

Very flavorful and so delicious! First time trying this place, and I'm definitely coming back to try more of the menu. read more

Great food, Great crew. Follow them @Gotjikitchen on Facebook for their latest schedule, as they sometimes do catering and will be closed for lunch or dinner. By far my favorite Thai restaurant. If you're ever in Buda look them up! read more

I found this amazing new food trailer that has authentic Thai food. This morning when getting breakfast at Dave's Tacos I noticed a new food truck next to Dave's Tacos, it was closed so I asked Dave about the trailer. Dave said that they will open for lunch today for the first time in Austin. and highly recommended them. My wife and I came for lunch to try this new food trailer and OMG! this is the real deal. I ordered the GN8 Shrimp Southern Noodle and my wife had the GN7 Black Pepper Noodle. Hands down the best Thai food we have had in years! I really Highly recommend stopping by, you will not be disappointed. Plenty of seating and parking. Located at 11444 Menchaca Road Austin Texas 78748 right next door to Dave's Tacos read more

OMG so good!!!!! Not to be a snob but almost all of the Asian food I've had in Texas has been so mediocre to just ugh since we moved here but Gotji is by far the best Asian food we've had in any cuisine! We used to haul our asses up to Thai Town from Long Beach when we lived in LA in search of good Thai food, and Gotji is easily as good as anything we've ever had there! Both The Best Pad Thai (seafood) and the American Pad Thai (we got chicken) were excellent, as were the Crab Fried Rice and The Best Curry. My least favorite was the Pad Kee Mao, which was still very good but the other dishes were exceptional! We got spicy level 4 (out of 5) and it was plenty spicy for us (we have high but not freakishly high) spice tolerances. Service was amazing and so friendly! Food took about 20 min to come out so I recommending calling in your order if you're in a rush. read more

Gotji's Kitchen Buda - Thai Near Me - Buda, Texas

The summary of this experience was that I would happily eat here every day. Objectively very good, and there is parking behind it! Food Crab Fried Rice with Tobiko, Pad Ka Prow, veggie egg rolls Both were fantastic, came out super quick and were hot and fresh. Garlic sauce suggested for the meal was absolutely delicious. Presentation was a total delight, with cucumber coins off to the side and all the toppings just right. We shared both of the dishes, and can't wait to try other things on the menu as well. Did not take photo because it was pretty dark already, but definitely photo worthy. Service It's a food truck, but the staff gave better service than many sit down brick and mortars. Total delight of our day, and they even leave gummies with your meal, which was super nostalgic for me as my grandfather always bought these for home for after meals. Vibe The tables were nice and clean and the food truck has cute faux plants and a nice clean and stocked utensil area. It was nice out, so we stayed and ate there and are not disappointed that we did! As well, it is on main street and the area makes for a nice post-food stroll. read more

Ordered this through favor recently; I ordered the American pad Thai and pineapple fried rice, which they ended up being out of, so I got just regular fried rice, and veggie egg rolls. The Pad Thai was delicious and perfectly spicy! The chicken in it was pull apart good. I didn't care for the fried rice too much; something was off and I couldn't quite tell what. The veggie rolls were crunchy and good, but cold (this is because of the favor delivery taking longer than expected, not Gotji's fault) I haven't gone to the food truck park myself, so can't speak on that, but the food was pretty good! read more

Real Thai food in Buda! They have several dishes that are more traditional and the more western Thai dishes. Excellent service- fast and friendly 5 stars Food 5 stars. We got the fried rice with crab and fish roe, traditional pad Thai and street fried noodles. We recommend them all. My favorite was the fried rice. They serve the rice with fish sauce in the side. Do not pour over rice. Use to dip the cucumber. Location- food truck park on the north side of Main Street. They have picnic tables and a parking lot. If you haven't tried their food, I highly recommend them. read more

Gotji's Kitchen Buda - Fried rice with crab - Thai Near Me - Buda, Texas

Do yourself a favor (assuming you like seafood) and order the best pad Thai. I'm only sad it took me so long to get there to try it. The truck is in a food trailer park and isn't very accessible. If I was using a wheelchair or walker I would have needed to enter using the sidewalk on the street side of the little park area. If I could change anything it would be expanding the delivery range to include Kyle!! read more

I love everything about this place & food is amazing! I typically don't like curry but I truly loved their curry!!!

We don't have a ton of great Asian food in this area, but Gotji's absolutely nails it for Thai. We order on DoorDash nearly once a week. My go-to is the pad sea ew, but I've also had the street fried noodles and the American pad Thai (my husband's favorite) on many occasions. The veggie egg rolls are also VERY good. Next on my list is the Bangkok style fried rice! Thank you Gotji's! read more
