Degthai

You know what’s best about Thai food? Having a native Thai chef prepare and serve it to you. And never will you meet a kinder group than Jay and his staff of Deg Thai. The menu changes every month or so, and single items can pop in and out from week to week. Red Curry is the most popular, but the toasted sweet chili with tofu was our favorite, with the bite-sized spring rolls.

Want an insider tip, get the Thai tea. This beautiful orange concoction is like drinking dessert. I’d never have ordered this on my own—I warn you not to be so foolish, it will be your new favorite thing. Only one other truck besides Deg Thai has been given a corner office so to speak, parking for lunch time (starting at 11 a.m.) at the corner of 3rd and Union, otherwise known as Public Square. Get your fix on Fridays or follow them all over town for authentic Thai with a twist.
