    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 ended up waiting over an hour but that's not their fault and this isn't reflected in my rating. In the order they came out: 1. Crispy catfish (Pad Phet Paa) - extremely disappointing. It wasn't crispy at all and the flavor was lacking. Also, there was supposed to be eggplant but we barely saw any. 2. Red coconut curry - too sweet for my liking and it wasn't spicy at all which was also a disappointment. 3. Kee Mao - this honestly was the best part of the meal but I honestly expect this dish to be solid at every restaurants. Overall, as someone from out of state, I wouldn't try this place again given this experience.

I can see how the seasoning might taste unique to some people, but as a fellow Southeast Asian, I thought it's just alright. I know their buffet was discontinued for a while and only recently restarted. I'm excited that it's back because for me,. it's the best thing about this place back then.

    Took an extended walk a few weeks ago to check this place out before getting groceries, as it's…read moresupposedly some of the best Thai in South Arlington and had to verify that. Was seated by a delightful young lady, and found the decor and layout to be quite pleasing; modest by elegant. As for the fare, it was indeed quite worth the walk. Ordered a bowl of Tom Yum and the Pad Thai Mun Goong. The Tom Yum was solid and quite flavorful, a flux of tangy lemongrass with the oniony sweetness of steeped scallions, and enoki mushrooms to provide some heartiness. The Pad Thai Mun Goong was a chef specialty pad Thai made with stir fried rice noodle, prawns shrimp tomalley oil (a crucial element for this version), egg and bean sprouts, naturally topped with green onions, peanuts and a lime for squeezing, and this also was quite phenomenal. Savory, sweet, a little tingle of sourness from the citrus in the mid-palate, and the juicy, briny shrimp balancing the dense carbs and rich flavorful sauce. All-in-all, I was well pleased this visit. As this is Padaek's second location, I hope they don't expand too much further/quickly and compromise on quality.
