My favorite food truck in the View. Pad Thai, garlic chicken, and pork kabobs are always delicious. Hours are limited so plan accordingly.

The food was INCREDIBLE. We got an iced thai tea and a thai lemonade, both were delicious and refreshing. We also got the chicken skewers which were delicious and nice and charred. We also got the chicken larb salad which was my favorite part of the meal. So good!! read more

One of the few places in town that makes Larb right with a nice serving size. The food is always fresh, hot and tasty. They are spot on with the seasoning. While they aren't the easiest to access, they are worth the minor inconvenience. Wish they would open a restaurant with indoor seating, but am thankful they provide great food where they are at. read more

08/16/2021 Updating my previous review on this food truck** They have a call to order option & I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU CALL AHEAD TO ORDER!!!! They make their food FRESH TO ORDER & with that being said, the wait can be over 20min depending on how much you order & how busy they are. You could easily be standing in line without any recognition for about 10min. They are very nice but I just don't like how they make you wait so long without any recognition before taking your order. We ordered: garlic chicken, pork kabobs, pad thai & chicken fried rice. I still vouch for their food regardless of wait time, I've just learned to CALL AHEAD. All of their food we have tried is flavorful & savory, the only thing about the kabobs I did not like is that they were just a little dry. I'm updating to a 4 only because both times I have come, I have had to wait with no recognition for about 10min before being helped. read more

I was in town visiting my parents and had a craving for some Thai food and much to my surprise, saw this food truck in Crestview. I ordered the Pad Thai - Chicken, Larb - Chicken, and Egg Rolls. Here are my thoughts on each: 1. Pad Thai - This dish had a unique flavor profile, mostly balanced between savory and sweet and slightly different than other variations of Pad Thai I've had in Thailand and the US. The chicken was cooked well and the dish came together in your mouth, although it wasn't the "Pad Thai" taste I was expecting. For the price point and what it was, it was good. But, if you're a Pad Thai enthusiast, maybe try something else off the menu. 2. Larb - This is probably my favorite Thai dish and I have to say that this tasted great. This reminds me of Larb cooked in the Isan region of Thailand and the flavors were spot on. I recommend this dish for a healthy substitute to a stir fry. 3. Egg Rolls - These were pretty okay. I don't have anything overly positive or negative to say about these, although the sauce tasted really fishy. I'm pretty sure there was fish sauce in it and it really overpowered the egg rolls. Overall, the establishment area is pretty nice for the surrounding area. If you're from out of town, they don't require a mask here (or in this area really from what I've seen). I will say that the lady who works the register wasn't really friendly. I stood there and she ignored me for at least a minute and never made eye contact the entire time. So, if she's reading this or her manager is, she really should take some customer service training classes. I was considering giving this review a lower rating because of it, but I'm not the only one who thinks this based off the reviews here. The food wasn't as memorable as her attitude and that says something. If you're in town, give this place a shot and hopefully you receive better service than me. read more

Absolutely amazing...what a delicious surprise! My only regret is that I didn't find this place a week sooner while working remotely in Crestview! The garlic chicken combo was worthy of 10 stars. Paired with the Thai iced tea, it was the best meal I've had in weeks on the road. Large portions, great seating, affordable pricing, cute part of town. It's a must! read more

Lao-Thai Xpress - Pad Thai with veggies - Laotian Near Me - Crestview, Florida

Very disappointed with the pad Thai. Too many noodles, not enough meat and no fresh cabbage or lime served with it. I also didn't get any peanuts. Will not order it again. I added the lettuce. And the picture doesn't lie. You can see yourself the noodles are dry, there's barely any meat, as a matter of fact the meat was very dry. Maybe it was just a bad day. But I won't be having them again anyways. Thank you for your responses. read more

Lao-Thai Xpress - Lumpia Spicy Thai Salad and Shrimp Pad Thai - Laotian Near Me - Crestview, Florida

8/14/20: As of late I've quit patronizing this truck. I thought it might have been me until I read another review here about the attitude of the woman who works in this truck. Very offputting the last couple of times I've been. I even got some of their pork kebabs and got home to discover that they were pretty well burned. *** I'm very pleasantly surprised! I finally got to this food truck before they closed for the day. I ordered Larb and the Stuffed Chicken Wings and both were excellent. I ordered the Larb medium spicy and it leaned more spicy than your average medium elsewhere. Everything was fresh and just great. I'm looking forward to going. read more

Food is good however this woman is absolutely getting besides herself. Baby Nellies food was way better than yours and she was ran clean out this little town due to all that attitude. I kindly suggest you take a deep breath and stop with the tude with all due respect. Pho is amazing but lumpia just ok. Sausage and rice is good and spicy and prices are alright!! Let's hope that attitude is greatly adjusted after all YOU chose this profession. Can't handle the stress gracefully get the he&@ on!! Mr Hatsady thank you for reaching out and be safe over there in Afghanistan. We're praying for you read more

I found it. What you ask. I found the most wonderful Phó. Ive missed this wonderful dish since ive moves moved here. Thank you. Ive also tried your stuffed chicken. 4stars. They were tasty, reminded me of a meat egg roll The staff was extremely friendly. Things were busy but it was worth the wait. read more

my husband and I were looking for somewhere to get pho because he's been under the weather, I found this place on yelp and drug him out of bed. MAN, we hit the jackpot. This place is definitely a go to if you enjoy fresh, quality food. The man working was extremely personable and from watching his interactions with a few of the customers, they definitely have some loyal clientele within the local community. I can't wait to go back and try more from the menu! read more

Lao-Thai Xpress - Beef pho - Laotian Near Me - Crestview, Florida

Ordered Chicken pad Thai and for $7.99 the serving was HUGE!! Rating for value, 6 stars. Picked this up, drive 10+minutes home and food was still super hot! The small fork they give you wasn't working for me, too flimsy to handle a mountain of food such as this. The fresh garnish was a nice touch, but the chive or onion (whatever you want to call it) was slightly overwhelming. Had it been sliced smaller, I would have enjoyed it a little more. Also, the chicken was slightly over cooked. All this being said, it was my first time here. Notice I say first time, I will be coming back again because it is worth it. Good stuff. read more

Food was great! Worth the wait. I had to stay in the area due to hurricane ida. I am glad I found this place. I got the beef salad, meat on a stick, and egg rolls. All were great! read more

BBQ chicken tasted good but was burnt and most of the pieces super tiny - for the $11 pieces I could've literally cooked several lbs. I expect at least medium sized pieces that aren't covered in coal from burning. Pad Thai was meh; ordered extra veggies instead of chicken - got no chicken and no veggies on it... Fried rice was completely tasteless. Never in my life have I had fried rice this bland. To top it all off, this food gave me a racing heart. No idea what they cook there but I will never touch any of it again. Super disappointed! read more

The food was awesome! Stopped by for a quick meal on our trip through Crestview. Hubby and I loved it! We'll definitely return. Highly recommended! read more

I loved the Pad Tai. It was too spicey for me and 3 days later I'm just recovering. Seriously. I added a side of white rice to my order. I was going to get the spicey tai rice with chicken but I wanted to try something different. I read the reviews about how the noodles were dry and etc. I also read the owners response. LMFAO! Dude is real! I didn't know that you had to request certain items like lime to be eaten with certain dishes. For someone like me who wanted to try something new, why didn't he just offer it in the beginning when a person is ordering? If I didn't read the review, I wouldn't have known this. It was meat in the dish but not enough for the average person. Overall I loved this place and I'll be getting the spicey tai rice with chicken next time and I'll ask if they dont make it too spicey. If possible. Also, the chicken was good. Not too dry but just right. read more

I spent a week in Thailand, and not only did I eat a variety of local foods, but also took a cooking class, and this food lines up with everything I had over there. The Thai beef salad is so yummy, light, and just the right spice! I've had the spice at mild and medium now, and the medium cleared out my sinuses when I was sick in all the best ways possible. I look forward to Pho-riday which is the only day of the week to get beef pho, and I pair it with stuffed chicken wings or get pad Thai for later in the weekend. This military family owned and operated establishment oozes with authenticity, friendliness, humor, and a relaxing environment. The dining area lined with lights and wild rosemary transforms the nook of downtown Crestview into a warm cafe feel while you eat outside, or wait for your food to go. There are two other food trucks on the same plot with plenty of yummy things to offer for family members who don't enjoy Thai food. So, go, check out what this legit (and affordable) Thai truck has to offer! You won't be sorry. read more

Really good food truck in crestview. Pho Fridays are a must. They have great chicken skewers as well and their garlic fried chicken... man.. the texture is surprisingly good. The one downside is because they make food to order it does take a while to prepare. The first time I went it was frustrating... then i tried my first bite. It was worth it. read more

I've had everything on the menu; very great flavor all around. Love the spring rolls and the chicken wings. The Pho on Fridays is the best you'll get in Crestview. read more

My boyfriend and I love to come here for the garlic chicken and my second favorite on the list is the curry personally. The owner is super great and friendly. If you want a nice spot outside under the lights, I recommend this place! read more

The woman that works the food truck is one of the rudest people I have encountered in a long time. I watched her get rude to the customer in front of me, all because the customer asked what the Thai taste like?! Then she messed up my order giving me fried rice instead of pad Thai and then got rude with me saying she wrote down fried rice. I even said sorry and thank you for fixing it and she completely ignores me! I will never go back. The pad Thai was okay, had a weird smell to it. read more

Ordered the steak Pad Thai Noodles and spring rolls. Read great reviews on both but have to agree with one of the reviews on the Pad Thai. Let me preface this by saying I have never eaten Pad Thai before.. Seemed kind of dry and not much flavor. I was surprised by how little meat there was in it. Spring rolls were decent but seemed overcooked to me. I would recommend trying something else on the menu. read more

Had been looking forward to having dinner here for a minute and finally got my chance. Was awesome and can't wait to go back - I had the skewers and both chicken and pork were fantastic. read more

There food was mediocre at best thank God for Sriracha. We had the Pad Thai and Kabob's. We are from California where there is a lot of great Asian food. There food is also a little over priced for what you get. read more

EXCELLENT FOOD. Friendly service, excellent food, good prices, and excellent food. Oh yeah, and the food is excellent to

Uncle Sam sent me to Thailand for two yearlong tours, one at Udorn TAFB, very near the border with Laos. I lived off-base and fell in love with the people, their self disciplined yet carefree lifestyle, AND the food! Eating at Lao Thai Express was like going home. It's tucked back from the street a bit, just south of another good lunch place, Desi's. Excellent food, clean, friendly, and reasonably priced. My fav dishes are the Pho noodles (available only on Fridays), their garlic chicken, and the larb salad. If you're new to Lao/Thai food, also try their Thai iced tea. I can't wait to try their other offerings. read more
