Never seen pad Thai with noodles like that, but it at least has some flavor, although half the noodles were clumped together also.

Overall not impressed, but willing to try again and see if maybe it was just not a great day.

GETTING HERE:…read more (Traveling); Located next to Dollar Tree in Salem. Yelp has the address correct on the app. MOOD: Getting ready for green curry! Ready to grub hard. REVIEW: This was a NO-GO. So dissatisfied and disappointed in this experience! Food: I had ordered the Green Curry level 0. Had minimal flavor but/and was terribly over-watered down to meet my request of mild, hence the lack of flavor. I ordered brown rice that she forgot to bring out. 1/5 Mango Sticky Rice: It had OK flavor in the rice but mango wasn't ripe and was tough to cut. 1/5 Shrimp Pad Thai: My guest didn't enjoy it at all. 1/5 The chicken satay was OK, but my guest had to prepare - herself! - the lettuce wraps. She was served a wedge salad (the lettuce) and had to create the wrap herself. She said it was filled with salt. 1/5 Service: Oh. My. Rude. Unfriendly. Didn't smile. The language barrier was PROFOUND and it was very uncomfortable for our group. She didn't understand our questions and couldn't respond appropriately. It was horrible. Ambiance: It was clean inside and is painted purple inside. Interesting. I heard GREAT things about this place. So bummed. Eat here with caution. Hoped for better!

Having moved to Salem recently from Portland, I thought that I had seen every iteration of what…read moreThai food could be but boy was I wrong. Big Blue Thai BBQ is everything that I could ever want from Thai food. Our main dish was the Grilled Pork and Papaya Salad combo and it was absolutely addicting. The beautiful smoke on the pork from the charcoal grill complemented perfectly with the spicy, tangy papaya salad adding so much freshness to the dish. While the food was amazing, the real star of the show were the lovely people that operate the truck. They were both so genuinely friendly and welcoming and made our experience exponentially better. We only wish that we had found this place sooner.

Took myself here for lunch today after driving by a zillion times and thinking "I bet this place is…read moregreat". Can confirm, it is! I have had a lot of bad Thai food and a lot of good Thai food and this was perfect and exactly what I hoped it would be. Family operated and locally owned. Love that. I see people complaining about the price and it's truly worth every penny plus tip! This food is FRESH and cooked to order. You get what you pay for when it comes to food and I am happy to pay for fresh food like this! They had many healthy options and this is authentic Thai. I think people forget that food trucks are restaurants too and so it takes time for your food to come out... it's worth the wait. I appreciate that the heat level was customizable on the papaya salad as well! Could definitely go up a spice level but was cautious because Thai spicy can be on another planet. So anywho... I would bathe in that tamarind sauce if they let me buy it by the vat. It was phenomenal. Im a fan! Can't wait to go back and try more things!

The base veggies of broccoli, carrots and cabbage still had a nice bit of crunch and the potatoes were cooked perfectly. The choice of protein influences the final cost of the dish, and was quite reasonable. We came to the restaurant after our trip to the State Fair, so it was fairly close to closing time. Even though it was nearly the end of the shift, the staff were very friendly and helpful, came to check on us a few times, and refilled the drinks twice.

Once we found it, parked, and went in the experience dramatically improved. The hostess was very friendly and it really does feel like you're in someone's home to get a meal.

Large portions, well seasoned, and it felt like the chef really cared about the food. Thai Iced tea wasn't oversweetened, it really tasted like rich black tea and condensed milk instead of just sugar like so many places. We will absolutely be returning again.
