wow we went to the brewery across the street from Kai and wound up getting some fried chicken and fried rice! the chicken was "dynamite" and the fried tofu GF rice (made especially for me) was some of the best fried rice I've ever had. we highly recommend their food!!! read more

Can't say enough about how much we love this place during the pandemic and continue to love it as a staple for delivery in our home.

Another solid place for Thai food, albeit a food truck. There are a few trucks in the food truck pod on Van Buren in The Whit and this one caught my eye. We ordered the shoyu ramen, the recommended hat yai fried chicken and crispy pork rice plates and the Thai donuts for dessert. (Note: I recommend eating the donuts where they are fresh and hot.) I give them 5 stars for presentation! The rice was separately packaged from the meat so it wouldn't get greasy--GENIUS. The ramen was unremarkable--the broth was quite tasty. Both the pork & chicken dishes were also delicious, not greasy; I wish we remembered to ask for extra sweet chili sauce. The food is made to order, so there may be a brief wait, about a 10 minutes if you did not call ahead. A buzzer is handed to you and will sound when your order is ready. Definitely give them a try. I looking forward to trying something else on their menu. read more

This is my go to for food carts in the area. Their fried chicken is always delicious, and I have never had a Thai iced tea here that wasn't decedent or delicious. This visit I got some Thai spring rolls and Thai donuts. The spring rolls were fresh and crunchy, and had a good amount of filling. The sauce they come with is the basic sauce, but delicious. The donuts were sweet and crispy. I was worried they would have too much oil, but it wasn't an issue at all. Great food. I wish some of the seats were a little more accessible, but it is a food cart so I don't expect too much. It is a nice spot and has a good ambience. The service was pretty quick and they were kind. All in all a great spot! read more

They also have good taiyaki (fish shaped pastry filled with bean paste) and sesame balls! Very good. This was another online order. No word on ambiance. The taiyaki reminds me of pancakes, only they aren't pancakes. Sesame balls have more of a fried taste to the mouth. Very good. read more

What's up Yelpies!!! If you live in Eugene and haven't eaten at this food truck spot your missing out on some really great food, service, and flavor. My wife had the Pad Thai and I had the Hat Yai (Fried Chicken) the Pad Thai was very tasty and the fried chicken is not of this earth... really !! Imagine juicy chicken with basil, onions and a sweet chili dipping sauce... then finish up with a Thai Donut yes that's correct. This deep fried flaky donut is coated with condensed milk and peanut crumbles.... Definitely a cheat day read more

Located in the whit, right by ninkasi is kai Asian street food. Food truck that seemed to be fairly permanently posted up. Really good ramen on a cold day. Warmed up my soul. Broth was heavy on coconut milk and fill. Plenty of acid which I enjoyed. Have not sampled any other dishes yet but I was very happy with my order! read more

Just WOW! Tried this eatery on a whim and the food was so good and flavorful, the sauces were delicious. There's nothing I did not like or eat slowly... I ordered coconut shrimp, chicken satay, Thai dumplings and Thai tea. I highly recommend!!! read more

I was sick in bed and needed some ramen so I ordered from Kai Asian Street food. I had the Tonkatsu Ramen and I am seriously addicted. I now order it pretty much once a week and crave it all the time. I just want to drink the broth. It's the best ramen I've ever had. I'd like to try other things on their menu but can't go without order the ramen. So, so good. They're also always super friendly. Love this place. read more

The best rangoons in Eugene! We had a great stop here for dinner on a warm summer night. Service was fast and friendly. We ordered crab rangoons, pad thai, and a pork curry. Food came out quickly and was piping hot. The rangoons were so crispy and the perfect ratio of filling to wrapper. Both the pad thai and curry were very tasty as well. It ended up being so much food that I got three meals out of my pad thai, that's a good value! read more

So flippin good! I am staying at an Airbnb in the neighborhood and this is my go to place. So yummy. I had the number nine hat yai chicken and ginger salad. The chicken was perfection and the dressing on the salad was divine. Definitely check this place out if you're in town. Wish I had food like this in Colorado. read more

Best Authentic Thai Food in Eugene: Delicious unique dishes all across the menu. Pad Thai is phenomenal and a staple you must try. Coconut shrimp is essential with a perfect tasty crunch each time I go. This is constantly in the dinner rotation! Give it a try read more

I tried a few dishes as take-out. The pad kee mao is quite tasty--basil sauce is tangy and spicy and addictive. The pad se eew (my usual favorite dish) was odd. It tasted surprisingly like molasses and lacked the right kind of noodles. (Those wide fresh noodles are my favorite; Krob Krua makes that dish much better.) All of this would have added up to a 4-star review, but: in both dishes, the broccoli was inedibly weird. Something was off. I don't know if it was spoiled or just a weird broccoli. Had a kind of dirt-like flavor and killed the food mood for me. That said, the menu looks good and I'd be up for trying other things. read more

I've gotten orders from Kai a handful of times since discovering them a few months ago. Everything that I've had delivered has always been very warm/hot temperature wise (awesome), and just as important, authentically prepared delicious food. My personal favorites are Chicken Bulgogi (if I could get pork that'd be sick, just sayin), Hat Yai fried chicken, and Ramen Shoyu, in addition to the requisite Thai Iced Tea. One of my new go to spots. read more

Amazing food and awesome workers! This is for sure one of my top places to eat at! The atmosphere is good too. read more

I come here way too many times, no matter what day it is, I'm always craving this place! The food is always fresh, great portions for the price and so so yummy! I usually get the Spring Rolls, Pad Thai with Chicken, Chicken Bulgogi, and Mango Sticky Rice for dessert. I'm always saying I'll try something new, but it's so hard to steer away from my usual because it's so good! They also have stamp cards at the window, you get a stamp for each entree you order, and when the card is full you get a free entree. I also enjoy the ambiance of their cart with a little sitting area by the window. The workers here are very nice too, they really appreciate their customers! If you're ever in the area or craving Thai food, I HIGHLY recommend this place!! read more

The Chicken Pad Thai with a side of sweet chili sauce on top is phenomenal! Plus, everyone who works here is beyond nice. Service is quick too! read more

I've been here twice now, delicious both times. The sticky rice is especially good. (I realize that making sticky rice shouldn't be that hard, but this place really nailed it.) I hope to be back soon. read more

What a gem! The quality is really good. I ordered the vegetarian ramen - and it was so incredibly flavorful. Normally I would get a meat based stock but was really craving some extra veggies, and this over delivered on flavor. everything on the menu looks so good I can't wait to order it all. read more

Love their tonkotsu ramen and they are so kind. Food is always excellent. Solid spot and much better than the other Asian cuisine in the neighborhood. read more

Excellent broth, but the seemingly instant noodles detracted from the dish. I'll keep trying to find broth and noodles to

Coconut shrimp!!!! Even after enduring a 10-15 minute delivery drive to us, they were somehow still crispy and full of coconut flavor. We also ordered Pad Thai and Pad Kee Mao. Both were pretty standard (not out of this world) but good. However, the serving sizes seemed VERY generous which scores points. I would eat (or order delivery) from here again, mostly because of those delectable little shrimpies! I'm curious to try out some of the other menu options, like a curry. read more

This is a newer food truck to the Whiteaker area. Now that Ninkasi has closed their tasting room I never really go to this area anymore, but I noticed Kai on a recent visit to this area if the Whit and the menu really stood out to me. The words "THAI DONUTS" just jumped out. So, I had to. Donuts soaked in coconut milk and with a sprinkle of peanuts. They came in a box of 5 and I, unfortunately, had all five. I just loved the soft squishy texture of the dough combined with the crunch from the peanuts. They were sweet but not so uncomfortably sweet that my teeth ache, which typically occurs when I bit into a regular donut. I also ordered an iced beverage called a Butterfly Pea tea. Never heard of this before so I had to try it. The drink is the beautiful rich purple color and the taste is slightly tart, reminding me of Acai flavor. I would love to come back and try their vegetarian friendly main dishes. They have a punch card for main dish orders and I do love a punch card. read more

I stopped here for a quick snack. Got the Thai chicken fried dumplings and the jalapeño poppers which seemed like the frozen store bought kind but I might be wrong. Would have loved a better dipping sauce ... good service and good prices. Times are weird and I want them to survive so I will return and definitely try more non fried foods soon to give more stars! read more

This was one of the first places my partner and I ate at when we moved here, and it has never disappointed. The food is always good (my usual is the tonkotsu ramen, but the vegan ramen and pad thai are other favourites, and the sesame balls are a perfect dessert) , and the people who work there are extremely kind, compassionate, professional, and familiar. The outdoor seating is shielded from the road, which makes it a nice, self-contained spot for lunch or dinner. read more

Yay! Another two days of dinner from Kai Asian Food truck. Awesome Partner and I first noticed this food truck on our walks to Delta Ponds from our digs in the Whit. I've enjoyed their pad thai countless times. One receives an ample mound of rice noodles in which are nestled succulent flavor bombs of lean chicken. More recently I've chosen the chicken satay skewers. One order of four skewers and rice is dinner for two days with some fruit. What goes into your peanut sauce? It's heavenly. read more

I love this food cart, it's something I think about in the morning wishing they were open for morning beverages. The Thai tea was perfect sweet orangey goodness. Butterfly pea tea was yummy lemonade tart purple. Food was hot and my favorite thing on the menu so far is the Pad Kee Mow. There was a good ratio of veg, and chicken to noodles. I haven't had any deserts yet but I look forward to coming back to try more. I ordered over the phone, great customer service! Prompt takeaway service read more

It was awesome to see that there was a new Thai place to try and expand my Pad Thai experiences, so I stopped by. As mentioned I like Pad Thai so I that was my go-to. The staff was friendly and the order was out quick and I was on my way home. It was a very short ride home, but when I opened the box the noodles we're pretty much dry and not enough sauce. Also there was no lime wedge. The portion was good for the $8.95 price, but was dry, lacked flavor, and was just bland. Also the chicken was over cooked and tough. I really was hoping for a great experience, but was left disappointed. I hope they were just having a off day and maybe I will have another chance to try it. read more

I was delighted to see that there was an asian street food cart right down the street from the hostel I was staying at. Kai Asian Street Food did not disappoint. Rangoons were delicious- not too creamy and good chunks of crab meat. Pad Thai was delicious, the noodles were soft and the chicken was good and moist. Would highly recommend! read more

We ordered the Crispy Pork, coconut shrimp, and chicken skewers, it was a great meal! Delivered hot and delicious. Love supporting a local business, will come back again. read more

We were really excited to try this place out! And, honestly, the food was really good. The people were also really nice! Normally I would just ignore this because things happen, but we got hair in all three of our orders. And I'm talking cooked into our food. One was embedded in the calamari better, so that was a fun surprise. Didn't photograph that one...it was not a pretty picture. The first one we shrugged off, but we were pretty upset by the third. Maybe it was our unlucky day. Either way, they might want to invest in some hair nets. Did 2 stars because we would have thoroughly enjoyed our meal otherwise. read more

Crab rangoons straight bussin. Highly recommend. I got there and ordered and she literally handed me some piping hot crab rangoons. A good filling ration, good amount of crab. Only thing is I prefer the sweet and sour sauce for my crab Rangoon but they provide sweet and chili. read more

I've had their food seven times now. Every time, everything has been absolutely delicious! At this point, I have tried basically everything on the menu, and it has all been wonderful. As a certified Very Hungry Person, I sometimes feel like their portion sizes are a little too small. So, if you're a VHP like me, bring a buddy with a smaller appetite, and make them share with you. read more

This is my favorite Thai place in town! I love the pad Thai and crab Rangoon! Prices are great and really friendly staff- totally recommend.

This place is great. I usually order the fried chicken and the pad kee mao. The order always gets to my house quickly and very hot. The quantities are very generous, the prices are very reasonable, and the taste is fantastic. I highly recommend it. read more

Always a great time. I love their crab cream cheese rangoons and pad Thai. It's delicious.

One of the best food carts in Eugene. I have tried many of the items on the menu and special board and haven't once been disappointed. Food is fresh and flavorful. Sweet people running the cart as well. I always feel good about supporting this place and my tummy is always happy. I love love love the spicy chicken special! read more

Very polite people and served delicious food! The Thai dumplings were fried in a light, airy batter. The chicken pad thai was saucy and really good! Would definitely return for more. read more

Good quick lunch and portions. Nice location with seating, glad we found it traveling.
