“Wonderful place! It’s a food truck at a brewery and the symbiosis is fantastic! The food is delicious at a very reasonable cost and there’s seating in a shaded area out front and you’re also welcome at the brewery next door! The atmosphere is very relaxed at both locations. Great place to relax and eat and have a drink!“

“I’d say that the flavors here are stellar and our family was especially pleased that they could make fried rice with BROWN RICE, so awesome and flavorful!! Pad See Lew and Chicken Satay also super good. 😘👌

The privacy you feel in the restaurant is quite impressive; the decor is also so comfy, we loved all the cute details. The back entrance even has its own quiet charm to it!“

“Had an absolutely fantastic dinner at Siam Street Food while in Santa Barbara.

I’ve traveled to Thailand and have eaten at a lot of Thai restaurants throughout LA and Orange County, so I have a pretty good frame of reference. The food here was excellent across the board. We ordered the Pad See Ew, Spicy Basil, Tom Yum Soup, Mango Sticky Rice, and Thai Tea. Every dish was packed with flavor and tasted fresh and authentic. The Thai tea was especially good because it wasn’t overly sweet, which is how I prefer it.

What stood out just as much as the food was the hospitality. The owner and staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Our server, April, was so sweet and took great care of us throughout the meal.

They were kind enough to comp the Thai tea after hearing my compliments, but honestly, I had already planned on leaving a review before they even brought it up. Great food and great service deserve recognition.

Also, sorry that the only picture I have is of the mango sticky rice. I was too busy enjoying the rest of the meal to stop and take photos, which probably tells you everything you need to know.

Looking forward to coming back the next time I’m in Santa Barbara.“

“Our family of five really enjoyed our food and the great service. We all have a gluten allergy and find it hard to eat out. Thai is usually safe for us, so we eat a *lot* of Thai. Meun Fan was one of our favorite every-day places to eat. Our server was very knowledge and careful to make sure our food was safe - which it was. No one had a reaction. Plus, the food was excellent. Complex, flavorful sauces; lots of veggies and meat; everything tasted very fresh; generous portions. (My husband couldn't quite finish his meal, and my teenage sons left full, which is quite a feat.) Definitely one of our go-tos in the area.“

“I had the eggplant tofu curry, mixed veggies and Tom yum. All were good except Tom yum, which I felt was salty and sour rather than fresh tasting. Definitely specify you want the vegan version since they may use fish sauce. Updated from previous review on 2026-09-15“

“I really enjoyed this spot, the Thai chili wings were amazing. They were crispy and flavorful, the pumpkin curry was delicious as well. The pumpkin was perfectly soft and everything went well together. The ice cream was wonderful as well, including vegan charred banana and jackfruit ice cream. The aunty serving us was friendly and funny.“
