    Drunken noodles w/lamb meatballs
    Rich W.

    Sang is my new must-visit foodtruck! I had become a big fan of hers through Yelp reviews and word of mouth, but all I could do was to watch her pop up in other neighborhoods via her Twitter feed, and even then her occasional appearances were as unpredictable as a groundhog, due to her splitting her time between running her food truck and cutting hair (see reviews for SangInWoodleyPark). Now she spends most of the week serving food (I heard you can also order food from her salon!), but due to the new DC Food Truck lottery system, it's become difficult for her to find a decent downtown parking space so she's been branching into other neighborhoods, incluidng ours -- their loss, our gain! For nine bucks, you get a styrofoam box crammed to the brim with fried rice or Asian noodles (conventional Pad Thai or Lao Drunken Noodles, which use the same wide rice noodles in Thai Pad See Ew or Chinese Chow Fun), topped by a couple of grilled chicken sate skewers, lamb or beef meatballs, or a mountain of tofu (for you vegetarians). For a few bucks more, you can add a spring roll, egg roll, Asian empenada, a cup of soup, or whatever else she decided to make that day. And a few bucks more will get you a quart-sized container of Lemon Tea, Thai Iced Tea, Bubble Tea, or whatever else she decided to make that day. If you're a regular, she might slip a lagniappe or two into your bag! (And unlike other food trucks, she doesn't try to collect the annoying DC bag tax from you). Food portions are huge (especially if you add one or two of her sides) and Sang always welcomes you with a smile, no matter how bad the weather outside may be. Five stars for food quality, five stars for food quantity, and five stars for exceptional customer service!

    Tofu pad thai and tofu drunken noodles, plus giant Thai iced coffee and Thai iced tea.

    Food truck offering delicious and generous Thai and Laos dishes. My friend and I spontaneously choose Sang on Wheels when meeting for a quick lunch. I had the drunken noodles with tofu, which was also full of vegetables and delightfully spicy. My friend had the tofu pad thai, also full of broccoli and bean sprouts. Both portions were more than enough for us, so we ended up with leftovers. We also both received complimentary giant drinks - Thai iced tea for me and the Thai iced coffee for her - which provided more than enough sugar and caffeine for the rest of the day. The service was quick - even by food truck standards - but also friendly and patient with those of us who struggle with menu decisions. Overall, a great option for a quick lunch or meal on-the-go!

    Chicken Sate with Drunken Noodles and Fried Rice
    Jason S.

    Normally I would give food of this quality 2-2.5 stars, but this place deserves the boost because the lady who runs the truck is incredibly affable and enjoys giving free items to her customers, especially later in the afternoon. I ordered chicken sate over half drunken noodles and half fried rice. Not only was the portion humongous, but the lady offered me complimentary egg rolls as well as Thai iced tea. And my meal only costs $9! But, the food does have issues. The chicken is relatively insipid and particularly dry. A nice sauce or more noticeable rub would surely enhance its flavor. The fried rice felt dried-out and relatively flavorless as well. The drunken noodles was definitely better than the rice, although it was very one note and its vegetables were hard to enjoy because they were large and tough to chew. Overall, a food truck that offers okay food with great value.

    Chicken drunken noodles

    I ordered the chicken drunken noodles and got a TON of food - lots of noodles! The chicken was cooked just right and had delicious flavor. The carrots and broccoli could have been chooped a little smaller to make it easier to eat, but everything was delicious! I have enough left over for another meal, so hopefully it'll heat up well! The woman who operates the truck was delightful! She was very friendly and happy to talk to her customers. I would definitely recommend this to all who eat from the food trucks! I'll be going back for more next time they're close.

    drunken noodles with meatballs, shrimp, chicken and tofu
    U. U.

    I really really really wanted to love this place, but alas, my hopes that I would get amazing Laotian street food were crushed when I had this truck's version of drunken noodles. Maybe I just don't like drunken noodles? I don't know, but these just were not good. I have to say, the lady running the truck is adorable and generous. She gives you A LOT of food and if you are poor and hungry, this might be a decent $8 to spend. That's where the good stops though...the bad is, the food is almost inedible! The noodles were gluey, gooey and the meatballs? Why? they are basically just dense balls of meat. No flavor at all and do not add anything to the dish. I have no idea why it's even offered. The meats offered (shrimp, chicken and beef) I think are just boiled. They have NO FLAVOR. It's basically just thrown in for good measure. Can you at least put a little seasoning on it? Whatever is in the drunken noodles themselves is not enough! I think the tofu is the best part really, but even that is bland. Overall, this dish is a hot mess. I could barely get through it and I didn't feel bad throwing just about all of it in the garbage. My hope is that maybe her pad thai is better? Anyway, this was gross. Never again.

We had major indecision because there's SO many things on the menu we wanted to try but ended up getting: Naem khao: 4/5 probably better with the sour pork, but loved how fresh this was. It was a large portion too, so we got kind of full from finishing it before our mains even arrived. Shrimp pad see ew: 5/5 the best pad see ew I've had in the DMV. So much wok fire flavor. You can really taste the caramelization. And the large shrimp were velveted which was made it extra satisfying to eat. Also a good shareable portion size! Muu Som: 4/5 this was super rich and heavy. Would get this again only to share with a larger group. Loved that it came with sticky rice. Mango sticky rice: 4/5 delicious but in my opinion didn't need the ice cream on top (my boyfriend thinks otherwise though). Very large portion as well. The cocktails were a little pricy ($15) for what they were but I did love the tamarind margarita. Just wish it was a larger drink or a smaller price tag. Service was very attentive!

My only minor critique was the sticky rice; it was a bit too soft and stuck to my fingers. That said, the Jeow Bong I ordered on the side was incredible. I'll definitely be stopping by often to grab some to go for my home-cooked meals! I'll be dipping everything with Jeow Bong! As someone who grew up eating Lao food, I can confidently say this is the real deal. The space is very small and intimate. We were practically sharing conversations with the table next to us, so I highly recommend making a reservation

We got the crunchy rice with sour pork (naem khao thadaeu), pork shoulder (ping), fried catfish (patod), chicken pad thai (kua mee), and warm coconut milky dessert (bua loy). All the dishes were delicious but a bit more salty than Thai. Feels like a lot of fish sauces in all the dishes. The crunchy rice came with lettuce but ours were not the best lettuce. The fried catfish were nicely fried with a perfect coating. Definitely a dish to get. The pork shoulder is another dish to get. Nicely seasoned with sticky rice. Their version of pad thai is uniquely different than Thai. A bit more sweet but the lime makes it better. Wife wanted to try bua loy dessert. It is a warm sweet dessert that balanced out all the salty flavors of the dishes. Something to try as well. Flavor are still the same. The dishes we order were too much for 2 of us. My only complaint was the restaurant smelled like smoke when we walked in. Not the kind where there was a fire in the kitchen but more like someone smoking in the kitchen?
