    Outside
    Harry W.

    The setting: Casual modern lunch truck vibe, tons of seating all around here in this food truck mecca around the corner from Chase Center. The meal: I wanted something simple and relatively healthy, so I ordered the fire grilled chicken bowl here from the friendly crew. In about five minutes, I had before me a perfectly prepared good sized portion of char-grilled dark meat chicken chopped into several slices placed over a heaping bed of white rice, with a green salad on the side. The chicken was hot, moist and juicy but to me, it needs a bit more seasoning or kick to it. I was also hoping for some salad dressing to bring a bit of zing to the fresh salad, but there wasn't any on it. to be fair, I'll ask for dressing if I try this again. In short, it was a well prepared, but a bit bland. Maybe they just forgot to put on the vinaigrette dressing on mine.. With a bit of seasoning or condiments, this Fire grilled chicken bowl could be pretty tasty. Verdict: I should have gone for the crab fried rice instead. Maybe next time!

    My boyfriend's sassy request
    Judy L.

    My boyfriend and I visited Wicked Star when we were at Spark Social SF! Wicked Star was one of the food trucks there and caught our eye. We ordered from Wicked Star (Vietnamese American Fusion). At Wicked Star, we kept it light and got the Thai Chicken Salad and the Vietnamese Sticky Wings. Everything tasted delish and we had no complaints! I like that there was a good amount of chicken and avocado in the salad, and the chicken was full of flavor and we enjoyed the Fish Sauce as the dressing. The sticky wings were also very good - I can't really do spicy and they were very accommodating, making my half of the wings non-spicy :') The slider was yummy and not too greasy which we enjoyed!

    Thai Chicken Salad
    Chris W.

    Love the Thai chicken salad, it's juicy clean refreshing. But oh boy, do not ever order through DoorDash. I've placed 4 different DoorDash orders in the past year for pick up, and they never check DoorDash orders until you ask about it when pick up is due. No point in ordering ahead of time - they only pay attention to the onsite kiosk orders. Once they retrain staff I will consider increasing the rating, their Thai chicken salad is just too good. Our friend got their crab fried rice and leaves much to be desired.

    Pork Belly and Lime Bowl
    Maggie C.

    I've been duped by the photos and description plastered on the side of the truck. I got the pork belly lime bowl and wasn't impressed. What was advertised as crispy, flavorful looking pork belly came out looking parboiled and limp. The supposed fish sauce was barely there. Another patron returned to the truck to ask for more sauce while I was waiting. The rice was mushy and wet. Sorry to say it but Wicked Star...you are mostly wicked with little star.

    Vietnamese Sticky Wings
    Yvana J.

    Please beware and check your wings before ordering! I've gotten the Vietnamese sticky wings from here before and they were good. However, when receiving my wings today, as I was walking I realized the container wasn't hot. I opened it and the wings were completely cold and incredibly soggy, but I had no time to walk back. I only made it through two wings when I realized that all of the meat was truly cold and chewy, and had a horrible taste. I have no idea what happened today, but it was absolutely unacceptable.

    White Lotus. Wrong sauce.
    Andy K.

    I like their white Lotus and order it a lot. The experience of ordering through their Snackpass app leaves a lot to be desired, however. The app said they opened at 11 -- they opened 15 minutes late. The app said my food was ready -- it wasn't ready until at least 15 minutes later. I had to wait 25 minutes from the time I ordered until my food was ready. Also, no apologies or any explanation. Probably not ordering from here for a while.

    Melissa H.

    Made the mistake of not ordering what the cashier recommended. They recommended the Panko Shrimp and the Crab Fried Rice. I ordered the wings. Do not order these!!! The skin was way too thick, and they were not freshly cooked. The quality of the meat also wasn't great. It was ready in less than 5 minutes which makes me think it was reheated. The flavors on the outside weren't bad, but I really wouldn't recommend this. This is located in the Spark Social food truck area.

    Crab fried rice $13.50
    Benita M.

    I love food trucks. This Thai Viet fusion sounded interesting so I decided to give it a try. You order from a kiosk. They take both cash and card. After ordering, my food was ready in like 2-3 minutes.. sus... This felt like such a big scam. For $13.50, I expected a box full of rice; not a shared space with salad. The rice looks so bland and all I really taste is black pepper. The crab was there but there's a ton of shell. I'm pretty sure I only got 1 egg because there's not much in the fried rice. 2000% skip this if you're considering.

    Crab Fried Rice ($14.95) - 2.5 stars. Overpriced. I tasted crab shell. Not enough crab, egg, or veggies. Salad was sad. Sun lunch 2023-08-27

    Crab fried rice ($14.95) - 2.5 stars Overpriced and underdelivered! I tasted bits of crab shell in this. And overall did not think there was enough flavor or crab, or other veggies. The side sald was incredibly sad, just lettuce and tomato, no flavor. I would not get this again.

    Fried Prawns
    Charlotte T.

    Food is ok it gets the job done. Ordered crab fried rice w/chicken, and fried prawns. It also includes a side salad with an amazing litr vinergarette. The rice was not a day old, lol, and the chicken could have been cooked a little longer, more char. The shrimps now those were fried to perfection. Order was simple walk up yo yhe kiosk place, and they'll text you when it's ready. It took about 10 minutes if that was to make. You do have to ask for sauces and napkins.

    sticky chicken
    Margie L.

    I always like to try food trucks,it was nice to go to a place with so many food truck choices in one park,i decided to check this one out,and i ordered sticky chicken.it was just ok on the sweetness and sticky part,the chicken in my own taste could have been better if a little crisp.

    My experience with spark social has been mixed. Last time I ordered from a Korean place and it was awful. This place however is great. Got the grilled chicken with rice and salad all came and it's $12 ish. And the passion fruit lemonade. $5 also yummy. Would be back.

    Pork belly and lime  (soft it's not crispy).
    Jonalyn D.

    So Wicked Star is one of my favorite food trucks at Spark Social, and I always buy the lime Pork. But today I ordered and the made it so fast, and usually they always give me crispy pork, but today I don't think they gave me a new one. I didn't complain in person because I was rushing for my job. And then, this is the 2nd time that the Asian guy who works there looks rude. He was rude to me the first time too. He is not smiling at all. I love this place, but please tell your staff, to serve well.

To get the best optimal experience at Khao Tiew, please remember to put your name on the waitlist and to get there on time when your party is close in queue (if you're not there, you're square, no expectations since they have tons of people waiting). I came here on a Monday night with my friend and I put my name down on the waitlist around 5 pm on the yelp app (heads up you have to be one mile away to be applicable to put your name down). Since I have been here before I know the deal and expected the wait. We were seated around 6:40 pm but it was so worth it in our opinions. The shop itself has a good amount of tables with a nice retro Thai feel from its decor. The servers are very nice and friendly but also the food comes out super quick which is what I personally appreciate as well. Here are some highlights from our absolute feast that we demolished (no food was left behind or forgotten). * Nuer nam tok: The medium rare beef was chewy, had the right amount of spice, and paired well with the crunch of the herbs. The saltiness of the meat ate well with the fresh sides of lettuce and cucumbers. * Crispy shrooms with ground pork: The crispy mushrooms were my favorite last time and the version with ground pork was exceptional. The mushrooms had a nice light batter and the sauce coated your mouth with an umami punch. * Drunken noodles: I love the amount of shrimp and calamari they gave! The noodles itself were coated in a semi sweet sauce that had a delicious soy flavor. * Duck curry: WOW the most tender duck dish I ever had, no notes! * Kaya jam with coconut ice cream: Creamy, fluffy, and a great way to end a meal. This dish is so hard to explain in words, you have to get it. Overall, amazing spot, amazing find, would wait 2 hours again for a third time :)

Both are rum-based and had a really nice kick, especially the Soi Ari with the pandan in the aftertaste (which we found super refreshing). Food we ordered were the Nam Tok Beans, the Pad Khee Mao, and the rabbit curry. Both of us love spice so the Nam Tok Beans blew us away! Did not expect that kind of packed flavor at all but it makes a seemingly ordinary bean dish so much more exciting. The noodles were cooked perfectly and made a great in between to the rabbit curry. Which speaking of, oh my god??? SUPER tender and fall off-the-bone. Rabbit can be a hard dish to put on for people who have never tried it, but I really appreciate that it's not as bone-y as other rabbit dishes I've had in the past. It really was like chicken but softer. Wow wow wow. Huge shoutout to our bartender for giving us extra birthday shots on the house. Never had Amaro before tonight but it was delicious. Did not get his name unfortunately but he's fantastic! The reason I give 4 stars despite the great experience was because I noticed less urgency from the host and the servers in terms of getting stuff out. Doesn't help that the place is smaller and more expensive for a Michelin star establishment. Sitting by the bar made a huge difference for us since we had a great experience with our bartender, but I have a feeling that those at regular tables that night might've lost patience with the wait times for certain dishes. TLDR: if you love spicy Thai food, have the money to spend, and aren't in a rush, this place is worth checking out.
