The parking is limited and seating as well, best for groups of 2-4 max. The service here is top tier. The environment is welcoming and cozy.

My husband ordered the Pineapple Curry with tofu, level 3, and I ordered the Tom Kha Pho coconut soup with tofu, level 3, and a side of sticky rice. The order was quick, hot and tasty.

I might even go spicier next time. Level 3 is a good medium. The sticky rice stayed moist and sticky on the drive home. Thank you!!

Service was terrible and awkward. Not sure if it was a language barrier or hard of hearing but we greeted her with kindness, thanked her for water and for taking our order and were very polite when we asked for straws and chopsticks--each time she would respond with silence and no facial expression. She took phone orders while we were there. Really not sure why she didn't communicate with us. After delivering our food she NEVER checked on us during our meal. She did deliver an unrequested to-go container but disappeared so quickly we had to ask for a separate container when she returned with our check. It felt very frustrating.

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!

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.

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.
