    Tasty and affordable. Had the Kung Ga Pro and their crispy fries. Both were yummy, and the egg especially was perfectly done. The owners were friendly and nice.

    The food was excellent and authentic. The food portion was great. Spice level was on point for the papaya salad, laab beef, and pad kra pow. The kids also love the fries, chicken wings, and chicken tender. Food was devoured. Will be returning again. Thank you.

    Had to put this out there before word spreads too much and my lunch spot gets blown up. So apparently this truck used to sling burgers under the same name, but new owners came in and completely flipped the script to Thai food. Honestly? Best plot twist of 2025. Sometimes change is good, who knew. Got the beef pad gra prow and pad Thai because I'm basic like that, but holy shit these weren't your average food truck versions. The pad gra prow actually had that proper holy basil bite - not just regular basil like most places trying to cut corners. Had me questioning if someone's Thai grandmother was secretly running this operation from the back of a converted burger truck. The pad Thai was legit too. Not too sweet, not drowning in ketchup like some places that shall remain nameless. Noodles had the right chew, bean sprouts still had some crunch, and the tamarind flavor was on point. Felt like something you'd get at that hole-in-the-wall spot your friend's cousin told you about. Not gonna lie, part of me wanted to gatekeep this place and keep it as my little secret. But that's selfish, and good food deserves recognition. Plus they're probably struggling to build up their reputation after the whole burger-to-Thai pivot thing. If you're in the area and see this truck, just go. Don't overthink it. Your taste buds will thank you, even if your productivity takes a hit from the inevitable food coma. Trust me on this one.

    We ordered the Laab Beef and Pad Thai — both were absolutely delicious and incredibly fresh. After a walk around the park, we stumbled upon this food truck and decided to give it a try. So glad we did! We’ll definitely be coming back to explore more of the menu.

    Papa Duke’s is an awesome food truck in the park, perfect for after a walk, bike ride, or having the kids run around in the splash pad. They have great options and reasonable prices. I ordered a few dishes, and they all impressed me; the papaya salad was great; it was so refreshing on a hot day after a walk in the park. I also really enjoyed the spring rolls and pad thai. I’m excited to go back to try more of the menu. The people running the truck were so wonderfully friendly and kind. I hope their truck kills it; the food is great, and so are they.
