Long-standing Thai truck in the neighborhood with fast service and convenient call-ahead ordering option. Wide menu for a small truck, with plenty of standard protein options. Food itself is run-of-the-mill Thai takeout. Pretty good depending on preferences, but generally find all dishes to run too oily. Curry puffs are nice but easily soggy, and crispy shrimp rolls super overcooked and oily. Good option if in the mood for Thai midday and you know what you like. read more

Y'all are the pits lying on this app like this. Normally Yelp is more of a realistic reviewing experience than that map app. I had SHRIMP pad Thai and curry veggie puffs with a Thai iced tea. This food was dry and bland. What in the helley? They counted out three shrimp and put it in my bowl. I usually don't order pad Thai but I will never order it again if this is what I have to look forward to. I will stick to the rivers and the lakes that I'm used to and get pad see ew or Thai fried basil rice or something. How are the noodles greasy and dry ): The curry puffs weren't bad and neither was the Thai iced tea but you won't get $20 off me again. The woman was very nice though! read more

Thai Sidewalk - Shrimp pad Thai - Street Vendors Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

What a gem of a food truck. Not only is the food good and the portions solid, it's completely affordable and service is lightning fast. This is what New York used to be and I'm shocked to find it in Dumbo of all places but I'm not complaining. Big fan of their peppery Pad See Yu. Gem of a spot if you work in the area, do not sleep on it. read more

Their pad Thai (only 3 shrimp) and basil sauce over rice were very average. I think their pad see ew might be the winner. read more

Thai Sidewalk is such special fixture of DUMBO! I've seen halal and breakfast carts throughout NYC, but this was my first thai street food cart, and it was delicious! You pay digitally and the prices are very reasonable. I got a fresh order of Chicken Pad See Ew, which was stir fried and cooked perfectly (better than sit down places I've had). Also they gave a decent amount of chicken. The service was friendly and quick. They're not here on all days and would definitely advise checking their hours. read more

I'm usually a little skeptical of street cart food but reading the reviews I decided to give it a try. I got tofu pad see ew and it was super flavorful and the perfect portion at only $11. I was there around 230pm and there was no line so the food came out super quick. Since this is walking distance from my job I will definitely be back soon! read more

Good addition to the selection of street food in DUMBO. I tried their fried rice with basil and chicken. It was quite tasty. Don't order spicy if you can't take too much pepper: I ordered mild and it was still spicy enough for me. read more

The best lunch option in Dumbo and it's not even close. Try the Pad See Ew with a fried egg on top!

Honestly it's so close to the F train by york st and this is probably one of the best thai food food truck I ever had in my life. Shrimp summer roll plus shrimp/beef pad see ew $22. ugh it was so good I came here before going to a gym workout because I was so hungry. Best decision I ever made. this is a highly recommended food truck. I got no regrets. thank you! read more

I got the pad thai which was sooo good. Prices did go up though. Attached is the current prices as of December 2021.

My local go to Thai lunch spot for some quick noodles or rice. Hits the spot and quick. Great prices and awesome service. Get it.

Delicious Thai food in a food cart located in Dumbo. Affordable lunch with good sized portions. Around $8-10 for pad Thai, spicy basil fried rice, pad see ew, etc. price varies depending on the choice of protein. Usually there's a line and longer wait time during lunch time hours. There is a number you can call if you want to order ahead to avoid the lines and lessen your wait time. I love their Thai iced tea, only $3, but sometimes they don't fill it all the way up to the top :(. Super friendly owner/workers. Not much asian food options in Dumbo, so I recommend their Thai food if you're craving for some delicious asian food. read more

They literally gave a quarter, not even 1/2 a piece of shrimp for the summer rolls. So I couldnt finish the summer rolls, really disappointing as there was basically no filling vs other places. Thai iced tea was good though. read more

Thai Sidewalk - a closeup of a container of food - Street Vendors Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

First place I ate out post-quarantine. I was in the DUMBO area and I wanted food that I can easily take to the park. I was also craving Thai food and fell upon this Thai cart near the picturesque DUMBO streets. I love street carts because they are so cheap, but also delicious! I ordered a Vegetable Pad Thai (it comes with egg yum) and a side of Thai Iced Tea. I waited for the food for less than 10 mins. They gave us tissues and utensils and we were off. The food was steamy hot, the iced tea was cold, and the food tasted so fresh. I paid less than $20 for two whole meals and a drink. City prices could never. The proximity of the street cart to the Brooklyn Bridge Park was the best part. I didn't have to walk too far out to get some food since the street cart was just 2 blocks away. The only problem was it was cash-only. For the first time, I had cash so I was able to pay. There is an ATM nearby if you need to take cash out though. read more

Thai Sidewalk - Pad See Eew with Tofu - Street Vendors Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I was in the area for a meeting and caught a whiff of a delicious sauce wafting through the air. I popped into a few places, only to be disappointed when the origin was not there. I almost gave up until I saw a long line of people against a building drooling and waiting for something coming from a small food trailer. Walked across the street and BINGO, the wonderful scent was found! Thai Sidewalk, how do you do?! The people suggested anything was good they were all regulars from various walks of life and boy they were right. Every single bag smelled heavenly. And they looked like they'd won the lottery when their order was called. The sweet lady who took my order convinced me to go with the pad see ew and I am glad for it! Pipping hot, original style with Chinese broccoli (no weird cheap veggie subs here) with that sauce only a good Thai street style cook can make. Rounded our with a thai tea, my order was $13, and a easy tip in the jar kept lunch under $20. Yes I will come back, it's such a tasty place read more

Thai Sidewalk - On Front Street by Jay Street - Street Vendors Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I was so excited because I heard amazing things and clearly the reviews are great but I'm so shocked by how horrible the food was. So many of my pad see ew noodles were stuck flat together (meaning none were coated in sauce) my basil fried rice had no basil in it (?) and was so unseasoned. The appetizers were incredibly bland and just not worth it. read more

This place was always an affordable option whenever I was in office at work. They have the staples you would expect from any Thai restaurant such as Pad See Ew, Pineapple Fried Rice, Pad Thai, etc. I always go for the Pad See Ew and am never disappointed. It's nothing super mind-blowing, but the owners are kind, patient, and started to make my food while I went to the Chase to withdraw some cash. I spend less than $10 for lunch, which is super cheap compared to other places around here. read more

This little food cart pumps out delicious restaurant quality Thai food! I've tried the Pad Thai and some other stuff here several times and it's always been delicious, fresh and served up quickly. Lunch will run you around $10 and that's a pretty good deal given the other restaurant options in the neighborhood. read more

Thai Sidewalk - Chicken Pad Thai ($8) - Street Vendors Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Somehow I've had some of my best lunches in DUMBO from the tiny cart that is Thai Sidewalk. It's tiny but packs massive taste! The noodle and curry dishes are mostly less than $10 and a solid serving My favorites are the chicken pad thai and pad see ew. If you call ahead you can just come pick up your order in 10-15 min and it'll be ready for you! Also, they prefer cash but take card (but they will pass on the credit card charge to you). For the taste and portion size, it's definitely one of my go tos for a quick DUMBO lunch. They pack everything for you in a bag so you can easily walk over to eat by the waterfront! read more

Absolutely insane. Today was my first time trying Thai Sidewalk after many many times I walked pass by smelled the heavenly deliciousness. Where do we start. If you walk around dumbo you can't miss Thai sidewalk because walking near its perimeter you'll immediately be allured to the smell of MAGIC!!!!!!!Suprisingly tastes exactly 10000000times better than it smells which I didnt know was possible. Kind friendly owner and the kitchen area, though small, seemed very clean and sanitary. I will 100% revisit and its ur loss if u dont try!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Great, best pad Thai in the area by a wide margin. Highly recommend, my go to lunch spot.

Love this no-frills and inexpensive truck! I always get the pad kee mao or the basil fried rice and it's good quality and delicious every time. The woman who works there is really nice and welcoming! I call ahead and order my food since it can quite crowded at lunch time. Highly recommend! read more

I work nearby and wanted something quick, I called ahead and asked if they took card and the woman who picked up said no. However when I checked their reviews on here someone said they do. It was after 2pm so they didn't have any more chicken, which left me with shrimp or veggies. I went with shrimp and also ordered a Thai iced tea. The food was okay tbh, the shrimp was fresh and pretty big but flavor wise it was a little basic. Also didn't like the fact that they charged me to use my card, that's a direct violation of the merchant agreement that they have with visa. read more

FOOD was so good and fresh. I had chicken basil fried rice and Thai ice tea The chicken basil was spicy , but was so good. They wear a mask and gloves while cooking your food which is very sanitary. Pretty sure they will open their own restaurant soon read more

Plenty of times this little sidewalk food truck has saved me from hunger on my lunch break! I've had every dish on the menu, they're so good! Chicken Pad Thai, curry puffs,chicken puffs are my favorite! I haven't had their drinks (my job has endless things to drink) but I wouldn't doubt that they're delicious too! Con: On the lunch breaks the lines are long... you should call in before you go but a disclaimer that they'll probably be too busy to answer. read more

I just ate the worst Massaman curry I have every had. It was extremely watery, there was only partially cooked white onions, very under-cooked crunchy carrots, a decent amount of shrimp albeit (my choice of protein), but no green beans! Plus the curry was extremely coconut-y and hardly any other flavors, it was almost sweet. I've been trying and trying this place, been disappointed in the past with their portions and lack of sauce/flavor (Pad Thai, Pad See Ew), but today I just couldn't not write a review. This sucks because there aren't really other Thai options nearby... read more

Fabulous lunch option available in Brooklyn's Dumbo neighborhood. A little cart can feed so many people is a wonder! Try this superly-duperly affordable cart food that they have open from 10.30 - 4.00 pm when I asked them. I tried their Red Curry and rice without eggs and whattawow! and the quantity is quite huge for a meal. The curry itself was quite coconut-y and thick and perfectly blanched carrots, bok choy. All this for $8! I am so so glad I work in this neighborhood, its going to be my regular go-to place. read more

I was very disappointed with my first and only visit. I ordered the chicken curry. The taste was phenomenal (hence the 3 stars). I However, my dish brought no more than 3 or 4 thin (almost ground) slices of chicken about the size of a quarter. I seriously would give more food to a toddler--Was seriously disappointed by the portion and finished lunch with a big bottle of green tea and was still left hungry. I won't be back :( read more

Thai sidewalk cart with orders ready in five minutes! Brings me back to the street food of Thailand. Delicious but a tad bit expensive. It's hard to blame them for price increases with the pandemic but maybe they'll return to normal costs soon. Can't wait to stop by for lunch this week! read more

I haven't been inspired to post a review in quite some time but this cart deserves it. Amazing what they are putting out of that little street cart. No wonder there are always people waiting. I had the chicken pad se ew and chicken dumplings. Served hot and fresh. The sauce for the dumplings is pretty ridiculous! Great spot! Very nice people as well. read more

A big fan of this little food cart that popped up in DUMBO near the office! I've ordered a handful of times already in the past couple weeks, including: - Pad See Ewe - Pad Thai - Basil Fried Rice This is the Thai food that one would expect from a native Thai household. It is a tad on the greasy end and higher on the carb-to-meat ratio. Everything is flavorful and filling. Price-wise, it is in line with what you'd expect in the area. The menu is based on your choice of meat/veggie that goes with your dish: veggie ($7), chicken ($8), or shrimp ($9). I only wish that they add beef to the list of options. For the basil fried rice, be prepared for a good kick (spicy)! The Thai ice tea, while it does satisfy my craving, isn't as good as others that I've tried -- missing a stronger tea flavor, to me. Call ahead if you can -- super friendly service. read more

I can eat here every day, it's that good! My favor I'd green curry and chicken basil fried rice! Same every day!

I eat Thai probably twice a week from a number of different places, and this was the best meal I've had in a year.

I eat. Pad Thai there very delicious really yummy and real Thai chef and specially Thai ice tea it's the best

Quick, cheap (especially for DUMBO) and delicious. The pad kee mao and basil fried rice are both fantastic with a good amount of heat from the spice. Thai Sidewalk has become a frequent lunch destination as I work nearby and look forward to returning many times in the future. read more

I like this little truck a lot, it's a great feature in DUMBO for affordable, timely, and good lunches. The key (at least for me) is to call in advance, and come down from the office to pick up the food ten or fifteen minutes later. I like the noodles and the option they added this winter (maybe every winter?) to put a fried egg on top for $1 more. BUT, there are two things that stop me from coming here more: 1. The plastic containers and utensils. Most places in DUMBO now use paper/compostable stuff, but this place is stuck in the past. So I have kind of stopped going here regularly, because the plastic waste just depresses me at this point. Thai Sidewalk, if you read this, please consider changing your packaging to more eco-friendly items! 2. There are no real green vegetables here. If they had a 'side of greens' option, and eco packaging, I would come here once or twice a week, year-round. read more
