Business Owner

I have a vision of Thai food that is a little difference from traditional Thai.

«Thai with a Twist! is my idea for Thai food while being true to some of our traditional flavors we have created some fusion items that are incorporated with many flares»

Early this year, I came across the Food Truck Race Show on the Food Network channel and got inspired by the idea of food trucks. After months of searching for the truck, design, and having the truck customized we were ready to roll in October 2011.

Our inaugural event was Celebrate Nashville multicultural festival. This was a perfect event to share some Thai flavoring with Nashville.

Second day of running this food truck, proof to be even more exciting, We entered The Nashville Food Truck Battle and received the second place award!, may be just got lucky ^^

This was my first time at Deg Thai and I was very impressed. I found them on Twitter and made my way down to where they were parked yesterday near Vanderbilt. The worst part of my experience was finding a parking spot, but that wasn’t the truck’s fault :)
I tried their Chicken Pad Thai and the presentation and taste were excellent! It was just the right amount of food to fill me up as well. The customer service at the truck was awesome! They seemed excited about their job and were very hospitable throughout the entire experience.
I’ll definitely be looking for this food truck again!

I love Degthai food truck! Their food is to die for. Every other Wednesday there at my place of work. My coworker as soon as it hits 11:00 am we are there ordering our favorite dishes. Oh my goodness words are not suffice to describe the deliciousness of these dishes…

So I did something a little crazy…
I steered my vehicle to the Deg Thai truck, and upon approach, thought that maybe I should try something different from my norm tofu basil dish.
I stared at the menu, and the owners made suggestions based off my dietary restrictions… but decided I would just stick with the usual… because it IS so damn good!
I went into Friedman’s to shop while my food cooked, and when I arrived back to retrieve, the owners wanted to confirm I was a vegetarian. I smiled as I certainly understand why they would think such… I’ve only ever ordered vegetarian dishes from their truck.
I explained how I loved vegetarian food, but still a carnivore. They suggested I try the Massaman Beef Curry next time.
Instead, I decided to get both! One for the moment, and one for later!
Jay packaged up the Massaman Beef Curry in preparation to be cooked the following day, and gave instructions on how to prepare properly for the best meal. (Love this dude.)
It was so very good. While the tofu basil is still my favorite, I must proclaim this truck offers the best, and fresh, Thai food in town!

I love Thai food so I tend to be pretty pick when it comes to it. I’ve had DegThai a few times and I’ve always felt it was «okay» — not the best I’ve had but not the worst. I’ve had the spring rolls, pad thai, and red curry. It’s obviously fresh food but I wouldn’t actively seek out DegThai if I had a craving for Thai food.

Do it! There is never a wrong time to Deg Thai. Their green curry is killer, followed up by their pad thai. Although, I’m sure everything is great, it’s just hard for me to deviate from their green curry.
This review is going to be short and sweet. Follow them on Twitter or check them out online. Then drive to their truck and enjoy. It might be my favorite green curry in town, for real! I have eaten it almost every Friday since returning from Bangkok.

The best Red Curry Chicken I’ve ever had. The Massaman Beef is also delicious. Love DegThai and will surely miss it when I have to move out of Nashville.

I am lucky enough they are always right next to my work! A few years ago, we hired them to cater for our yearly Asian heritage month luncheon. Everybody loved the food so much that we decided to hire them again the next year!
My favorite dish is their massaman beef. It is honestly sooooo good. I don’t know how they make it but the beef is so tender and it’s just delicious. I’ve had all of their dishes since they catered for us and you can’t go wrong with any of them!
Trust me, their food is excellent!

I had the Pad Thai and Thai Iced Tea. Both were excellent. I will be back to try everything on the menu! They were parked by St. Bernard park so I was able to enjoy my lunch under a gorgeous old tree. Perfection!

The massaman beef is what I would recommend here. It is sweet, spicy and consistently delicious. Pick up a Thai coffee too if you want to get punched in the mouth by some super strong and sweet iced coffee.

Really nice food truck with good portions on curry and crunchy egg rolls. I haven’t had their pad thai but seeing as it’s run out every time I see this damn truck I’ll have to order it sometime. I like their rice – it’s sticky, not dry.

THANK YOU DegThai! I’ve been in Nashville about a year and so far my biggest complaint is finding fresh delicious flavorful food — that’s not BBQ or «fast food». I found it! I wanted to take a picture of all the deliciousness but I ate it all before I did. Ok review — first of all the lady who took my order may be the nicest person I’ve ever encountered while placing an order. I had the Pad Thai (chicken) and it was a very generous portion, noodles were cooked perfectly, all the veggies were fresh and on point, the tofu was perfect just firm enough, the chicken were nice pieces and flavorful. My only complaint here is that I wish that there would’ve been a choice to make it spicy. That’s not really a complaint! The spring rolls were different — there were 3. Crunchy and stuffed to the max I enjoyed them. There was an oil included with the rolls that was delicious and made great food even better! All in all I can’t wait to go back and try something else.

We took our friend out for a day in Nashville for his 30th birthday, and he had never eaten at a food truck so he wanted to. After a bit of research, he picked DegThai. We all ordered the green curry and spring rolls, and it was the best part about our day. Between thrifting, ice cream, and all sorts of games and shenanigans, our attention kept coming back to just how good the green curry was. We were so full at the end of it, but we ate every bite, not wanting to waste it.
The truck was located near a small park off 21st avenue, and even that was awesome. There was a picnic table under a gigantic tree that we were all able to climb. It was awesome. I don’t know how often they park next to the army surplus beside the park, but when they do, go. It’s awesome.
Overall, the DegThai food truck was the highlight of our friend’s 30th celebration, and we will most certainly be back. Heck, we are even going to try to learn how to grind out own green curry powder at home because this was so good.
I can’t recommend it enough. Go there. Eat green curry. Be happy.

Some food trucks are better than restaurants. We were searching for this truck after eating and eventually gave up. but then we made a turn and found it! The chef and lady that took our order was so nice!
I checked in on Unilocal for a free Thai iced tea and it was slamming. I think this might have been the best Thai iced tea I’ve had. It wasn’t overly sweet and it really hit the spot on that sunny day.
Chicken green curry — also surprisingly good. It was watery but for some odd reason, it tasted so good. We were 80% full from our last meal not too long ago and we were able to gobble up everything. There was war of course for the last bite. So what makes this so good? I wish I knew. It wasn’t sweet nor salty, it was just simply flavorful. It reminded me of my favorite curry from Albany but in a watery version.

These guys are awesome!!! I’ve eaten at there truck several times and tried everything on there regular menu. Never been disappointed. The red curry is my favorite but everything on there menu is amazing. The pad Thai is the best I’ve ever had, the chicken satay is crazy good, and the Thai tea OMG the Thai tea. You really can’t go wrong. Everything they make is great. They also have a great looking truck. The artwork is amazing. I think it just might be the best looking truck in Nashville. Thank you deg Thai u guys rock!!!

A friend of ours told us about this truck parked in front of the army navy store on Saturdays around noon. Best Thai food my husband and I have ate in midtown hands down. We shared the spring rolls, I had Green Curry, and my husband ate the Pad Thai. The food was fresh, spicy and the wait was maybe 5 minutes. Plenty of leftovers for dinner or a snack later.

This guy is a mobile lethal weapon! HOLY MOLY brick and mortar spots should watch out! No joke, this food is so good I would ride behind the truck sitting on a skateboard lapping the drip water off the catch pan of his steamer. It’s even better than smiling pachyderm.

So excited to happen upon DegThai food truck while I was going for a walk at lunchtime. Food was delicious (I got red curry — chicken). Lots of food, good balance of meat/​sauce/​vegetables to rice. For the quality and amount of food, prices were definitely reasonable.
When I went, the line was very short and service was very quick. Also very friendly. I would definitely get this again!

Sign me up for DegThai anytime.
Some of my companions decided to brave the unwavering line that always seems to follow the Grilled Cheeserie. Yeah it’s good, but damn. I’d prefer to not wait a half an hour for my food on a truck. PLUS the last thing I want on a late June day is tomato soup and a hot sandwich, but I digress.
DegThai had no line (you fools!) and my friends and I both ordered the red curry, spicy. For $ 8.00 and your choice of meat or tofu, I got a large to-​go plate filled with spicy goodness. YUM. It was hot but not painful, and they were super fast too! I also had plenty of leftovers for the next day. And yes, I may have stashed my take out bag in some bushes so I didn’t have to carry it around.
Having it for breakfast the next day was totally worth it. No judgement.
