    Thai on Clinton is a regular and welcome sight on weekdays in Brooklyn Heights! I appreciate that there are nice Thai options here for a good price, but it's not so memorable that it crosses my mind when I'm racking my brain for nearby lunch options within a 5 min walk. I've tried the pad kee mao (ok), pad see ew (better, for me), chicken basil over rice (best, but based on the chicken and not rice), and the curry puffs (tasty but not fried to order). I'd recommend ordering ahead to avoid waiting out in the heat/cold. Food is good but be careful if you can't handle spicy food!

    Pad kee Mao

    10/10 best Thai food you can find, easy and fast but most of all SUPER authentic and delicious. This is my favorite pad kee mao the drunken noodles are so so perfectly flavored as in Thailand and the spring roles are incredible. Then the service, they're so kind, helpful and generous with portions. Thank you for consistently yummy food!

    Rice container no bigger than credit card in size!

    I rate the THAI ON CLINTON CART - "DSMPF" - for: Disgustingly Small Microscopic Portions of Food! I was jogging by the cart and it smelled delicious! So when I ran back I ordered a Red Curry with Vegetables - $11.00. But when I got home I was disappointed to find the foil bottom rice container ( see picture) was barely larger than a credit card in width & length and even at that it was only about 90% full! The plastic container only slightly better - somewhat smaller than what you receive in a Chinese restaurant when you order a small wanton soup. Who knows maybe they have a good "Little People" customer base? But when I poured the red curry & vegetables over my rice - THERE WAS BARELY ANY VEGETABLES - like nearly NOTHING! It was all red curry sauce. It was a good curry - spiced nice - unfortunately nothing to put it on but rice. Rice & Veges are always the cheapest dishes so how do you cheap out by serving less than the standard portion? All that they gave (see pic) were a few leaves of the leafy green & white whatever vegetables, about 3 or 4 small shards (no slices) of carrots - NO MUSHROOMS, NO BABY CORN, NO WATERCRESS, NO NOTHING - just an abundance of DISGRACEFUL! As you can see by pics I basically paid $11.00 for about $1.00 worth of vegetables & 10 cents worth of red curry flavored rice. And the rice in that bowl contains half a small white rice I had left over from Chinese food I ordered 2 nights prior! Then tack on the $2.00 they charge for the small Poland Springs bottle of water everyone else charges $1.00 for and that gets the whole disappointment up to $13.00! The homeless guy who was feeding himself from the trash can on corner next to their cart had the right idea! If you approach this cart - jog pass it quickly - don't be a fool like me and return to get RIPPED-OFF!

    Chicken Pad Thai
    Shaima C.

    I really wanted pad Thai, so I found this place on yelp and decided to grab lunch from here. The moment I saw the cart, I also noticed a group of people waiting for their food; that's always a good sign! Got on line and ordered my pad Thai , waited about 8 minutes or so, which wasn't bad. The cart is tiny, so if you have any food allergies, just be aware of cross contamination. The pad Thai smells amazing! Even as I walked backed to work, I was able to smell it. The noodles had some great flavor and for $8, the portion size is worth it. Very curious about some of the other menu items, will be going back!

    Pad see ew  with chicken, they had amazing customer service it was a quick pick up and made on the spot. Hot and ready

    Great Customer service I will suggest this spot if you want to get some Thai on the go.

    Chicken pad kee mao

    By far my favorite food in the area and it's not close. Been going here for years now, very overdue on a review. Full disclosure: I have not tried everything on the menu. I don't feel the need to mix it up - the chicken pad kee mao is perfect. Generous portion size, just the right spice, super consistent quality. And the people working the truck are so nice! Decided to leave a review today of all days because I think the dish that Chef Ni cooked up this time was maybe the best I can remember at this spot. If you're in the area you have to check it out!

    Thai Ice tea with Chicken Basil sauce over rice.

    Had the Chicken Basil sauce. It was pretty good. However, it could've definitely used much more Thai or Holy basil, black peppercorn or black pepper, and a hint of fish sauce. Thai ice tea was nice too Hopefully that was jasmine rice. I have allergies so I couldn't smell so well.

    Never in my wildest dreams would I have such an amazing experience with a small food cart if that's what it's called. Thai meals on wheels is located on Clinton and Montague street in Brooklyn Heights. The aroma of the food is what attracted me to it you can smell all the spices and especially the chillies in the air. I glanced at the menu and the pictures posted trying to decide what to order so far I have had the cashew nut chicken over rice , the dumplings, tom yum soup, drunken noodles and thai iced tea. So far they have never disappointed me. The one thing I keep coming back for more is the cashew nut chicken over rice. It is very flavorful and the added spice from the chillies gives it such and authentic flavor. Your best bet is to order ahead and pick up because at lunch time there is usually a line and they get really busy fast.

    Have been here many times now and it is definitely deserving of five stars. The people who work the cart are kind, attentive and best of all, make great food! The khao man ghai is a particular highlight, the chicken is silky goodness and the sauce is delish! My go to is the chicken with cashew nut over rice. A big helping with plenty of chicken and veggies. They make a mean Thai ice tea as well. Honestly, you probably can't go wrong here.

    So freaking good. Love they have Tofu as an option! I've had 5 orders from them and referred 15 of my peers. We just keep going back! Love the Tofu Pad See Ew and Tofu Pad Kee Mao. For meals w/ chicken--the Chicken Garlic Sauce over rice is A HIT! Pineapple Fried Rice is banging too! The Pad Thai honestly wasn't my favorite as it wasn't seasoned at the bottom but shake it up a little, seasoning from the top makes its way down. Peanut Curry w/ rice is a smaller serving than others, but good too! I call before I walk over, and my meal is ready when I arrive. Only thing--cash only Very happy customer!

    Welcome to this super friendly and kind guy!

    I walk by this street every day as I work in the area. Today for the first time I saw this food stand, I was very early, I was not satisfied with the lunch I had, I needed some comfort food, even just a bite, before work, and the cart says Thai food.... so Yessssss! And I love leftovers so - if any - I will finish it tonight. The guy is super nice, his "kitchen" looked super clean and when I asked what kind of noodle he would suggest, he said the Kua Gai. Perfect, I wanted flat noodles and not much sauce. This one is like, for us Italians, Spaghetti Aglio Olio e Peperoncino! I like that it was a clean taste, spicy enough but not overwhelming (just tell him how spicy you want it) simple and well made. No sauce. I added shrimps but they have tofu, beef or chicken options too. The guy is new here , just a couple of days he said. Open from 10.30am to 5pm but not sure is 7/7 or if he is here in Weekends too... I will ask him !

    The Good: Still like what it used to taste like from what I can remember. Hits the spot every time!…read more The Bad: Adel's is a fierce competitor a few blocks down with a long line. BUT, imho Adel's doesn't really taste as good as the original Halal Guys in terms of flavor and fragrance. The chicken from Adel's is in bigger chunks and some argue is more tender, but the flavor is definitely not close. Also, it's important that it comes with lettuce, tomatoes and a little onion to balance everything out. Finally, You must get both the spicy red and white sauce together to make it all come together! The Ugly: The smell is addictive, so if you walk by, it's hard to resist, even if you've just eaten a nice meal somewhere else. We couldn't resist. Gotta hit the gym hard for the next few days!

And that line is no joke. You will wait. Plan accordingly. Here's my dilemma: every single time I eat here, my stomach lets me know about it later. Without fail. I've tried adjusting the hot sauce, going easy on portions... doesn't matter. Something about this food and my digestive system just don't agree. At this point I have to accept that it's probably not for me. So why do I keep coming back? Because at 2 AM after a late night, when everything else is closed and you're starving in Times Square, that platter of chicken and rice over white sauce smells like salvation. They're the only game in town at that hour, and honestly, in the moment, it hits. It's the next morning I regret it. If your stomach handles it better than mine, you'll probably love it. The food is tasty and the portions are huge for the price. I just wish I could enjoy it without paying for it twice.

I definitely recommend coming here right when it opens. For the food itself, I got the Mix Platter (Lamb and chicken) which was delicious and flavorful. It had a spicy kick, but it was still enjoyable. The plate was definitely loaded and I recommend getting it with the spicy rice. I definitely think it's worth the hype and would come again.

I feel like this place is good, but the white sauce is what makes it. Would I wait another 50 minutes in line, again? Heck to the no - but 1 time? Yes, just to say I tried it. I came in line around 9:45pm and waited approx. 50 minutes before being served. the line just grows and grows.... it is crazy busy! I don't get the line concept here. Because while I was in a long line, when I get to the front, there's another line to the left of the truck... and people seem to be getting their food faster, and the line is like 2x shorter. So that's kind of confusing. Ambience in line and ordering = chaotic. The line is quick in terms of when it is your turn, KNOW what you want. Because you have like 5 seconds to order and that's it. I ordered the special (the spicy rice, lamb and chicken combo, extra white sauce, 3 squirts of hot sauce, and a topped with fries). $13 in total. I would like to say, advice to folks to know what you want before you come. I did not look at menu options beforehand and I did fairly little research so I honestly did not know what to order, just looked at some google reviews and pictures. That is going to help you, in case you do not want the typical lamb and chicken combo. To the food - 1st - they don't care how much hot sauce you want. they're making these bowls in the masses and are just giving you a single squirt so they can make 20 bowls all at the same time. I was hoping for more spice in what I ordered, but it was very slightly spicy. I'm not sure if they let you serve yourself to more, but I'd definitely want more of the hot sauce. 2nd - I didn't taste any spice in the spicy rice. I'm not sure if, again, due to the fast production that it all just taste like regular rice? but didn't see what the hype was there. 3rd - I genuinely think the white sauce is what brings it all together. The chicken was OK to me. I didn't think it was anything special, and would give it a 3 out of 5. texture was OK, flavor was OK... the lamb definitely stole the show. The lamb was absolutely flavorful and full of delicious spices. This reminded me of what I've had in Dubai. Very rich in flavor and just the perfect amount of spices. Overall, I think if you wait for your food to cool down like 20 minutes, you'll get to taste the flavors more. Everything hot together, for me, just didn't allow me to really absorb all the food. But the rice was your average rice. Pita was deliciously soft and pillowy which complemented the white sauce. Chicken was ok. had an OK texture; nothing life changing. lamb was fantastic, and fries were just fries (nothing memorable). For a NYC experience, a 1-time, 50 minute wait is acceptable. And, for $13, that's pretty cheap for the amount of food you get. I would eat it again if the line was 5 minutes. Otherwise, I'm positive you will find similar food/better food elsewhere.

Fries are the one thing I'd skip (they go soft quick), but with the meat and sauces all over the plate I didn't care. If you're out late and everything else is closed, this is the move.

The steak is done perfectly at medium rare that you don't need any sauce and the fries are a nice crispy and golden brown.

One of my favorite parts about this food truck is that I believe it is run by 2 brothers and the front guy is so nice. You can tell they're great people. They're pretty busy around noon, but I'm always able to get my lunch within 15 minutes. They are cash only, but they do also take venmo or zelle.

    The Best Food Truck in NYC -- Period…read more I've eaten at countless restaurants in New York City, but nothing -- and I mean nothing -- comes close to Steak Freak, the little black food truck parked on the corner of 6th Avenue and West 50th Street. I stumbled upon it around lunchtime and saw a long line stretching down the block. Normally, that would be a deterrent -- but I quickly realized everyone was there for a reason. The line moves surprisingly fast (these guys have it down to a science), and it's absolutely worth the wait. I ordered the Steak Basil on Rice and the Kimchi Sesame Steak on Rice, and both dishes were mind-blowingly good. The steak was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, and the sauces had that perfect balance of heat, sweetness, and umami that makes you close your eyes after every bite. The rice was fluffy and soaked up every drop of flavor. You can tell Dorjee, the owner, takes real pride in what he serves. He's one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet -- greeting regulars by name, joking with the crowd, and hustling behind the grill like a pro. Pro tip: Get there early. They sell out by 2 PM every single day, and once the steak is gone, it's gone.

I discovered that a Bangladesh street food called fushka is very popular, so decided to try for my first time. Tong is highly rated and their menu is simple. I ordered the Doi Fuchka ($7), which comes as crispy, hollow puri shells stuffed with a savory mashed potato and chickpea mixture. The difference in the doi is that it is topped with a yogurt to balance the spice for a creamier texture. I liked this a lot, especially with the tamarind sauce too (though this got a bit messy). This is nothing like I've ever tasted with so many different textures going on. It hits you with spicy, sweet, savory, crunchy, creamy, chewy and everything all at once. It comes with 8 pieces, which is perfect to share with 2-3 people. Definitely something to check out!

Sour with a bit of spice, but not in the same way as adding Tajin. Queens never disappoints when it comes to diverse cuisine!
