Liang’s Thai Food

Believe the hype! This is the best Thai food I have ever had, and it’s hard to believe that it comes out of a food stand in Denver. Try their drunken noodles and cheesy crab wontons… delicious! Just make sure that you have time to wait, because there’s only one person working and the line is long. Despite the wait, I am definitely going back for more.

Outstanding and authentic Thai food made to order right in front of you. Ingredients are fresh and the flavors perfect. Worth the wait in line (about 7 – 8 min per person ahead of you). The young man running the small truck is very nice and will customize about any dish. I’ve had the Pad Khee Mao and it was some of the best I’ve had. A must for Thai street food!

Just a reminder this is a food truck or stand in front of 7 Eleven. I had to wait 45 minutes for this food during lunch hour and I knew it was worth the wait. I had about 4 – 5 people in front of me as well. It’s a one man show so be nice, he tries to be fast. My advice is to go earlier than 12 pm to grab your food or after 1pm so you don’t have to wait. Best Thai that I’ve had and I travel A LOT! I had the Pad Basil and it was amazing!

A restaurant that doesn’t exist. I gleam from the other reviews it is a mobile food stall. Great! But don’t list it as a restaurant. It was a cold evening with snow and we walked a couple blocks for a Thai restaurant. Nothing to be found, not even a closed building. I figured they had shut down and left town or something.

The wait is always long, and the food is always worth it. LOVE this spot!

Very tasty Thai food! Worth the wait. As others have said, made to order, 10 minutes ish per order. Totally worth the deliciousness and portioned for two lunches I’ll have this again the next day as left overs.

Great Thai food at this cart. Ordered the Chicken Pad Thai and it was great. If you come here, be prepared to wait an hour as there is one chef and one pan. Each order is made at time of order.

Unilocal helped me find this gem, as we’re just in town for a conference. I had to wait for this, as I had extremely disappointing Thai food from another restaurant the night before.
Pro: Delicious. Amazing. Don’t get in line here because you’re taking my spot. Flavorful, TONS of vegetables. I got the tofu pad thai and you can tell it’s quality because the tofu is freshly pan fried, unlike pre-​fried tofu you can commercially buy. The lady in line in front of me, a Denver local, said it was even better than Thai places she visited in Thailand. I’ve never been to Thailand, but it seems like quite a compliment! The price is also extremely reasonable.
Con: The wait. You have to be willing to spend time to get good food, so it’s worth it for me. But budget a good hour to chill with a buddy, meditate on life or keep browsing Unilocal.I feel like they should expand (and probably put every other Thai place out of business in this neighborhood), but since Mama Liang’s cooking herself the quality control would be harder with more cooks.

I was visiting Denver for a conference and I Unilocaled some restaurants and came across this. I expected to find an actual building, but it’s a mobile cart with one person cooking. Even though it wasn’t what i expected as far as location, it was delicious.
The food is made hit and fresh. It’s a mom who does the cooking and her son taking the orders. Both were very friendly.
The only thing was it was a long wait. About an hour and there were about 5 people in front of me, but it was worth the wait. The food is like I said hot and fresh, and perfect portion. I contemplated leaving because it was a wait, but it smelled so good and I’m glad I didn’t leave. I had the drunken noodles cooked spicey with chicken. It was perfect!
It’s no wonder this place has a long wait, it’s a great spot to eat at. If I’m ever back in Denver, ill be coming back. I’m jealous of those who get to eat here all the time. :)

This place is delicious! I needed drunken noodle redeemed after the last Thai experience I had and this place delivered.
It was a looooooong wait; I was behind 4 – 5 people and it took almost an hour to order and get my food, but it was worth it. Really fresh because everything is made right in front of you.

Whoo hoo! This is as good and authentic as you get, someone handcrafting your order right in front of you. Watching the chef pour your morels into the plastic to-​go container has got to be one of the most euphoric feelings in the world!
Sure it takes about 10 min for each order, and if you double-​down, then add another 5 min, and yes if there are 5 people ahead of you, you wait for over an hour but it’s SO worth it!
The day we trekked here (35 min walk from our B&B, but again I’d do it again in a heartbeat!), he (Liang’s son) was out of green curry. Not phased, as this made my decision on what to order a lot easier. They have the staples that you’d find on any Thai menu, pad thai, pad see ew, green and panang curry, as well as fried wontons, egg rolls for appetizers.
We ordered the Pad see ew with beef ($ 9) and Pad Thai with Tofu ($ 7.50) and some wontons. The noodles were cooked perfectly, slippery on your chopsticks and coated evenly with sauce. There were so many vegetables and meats in our dish, it was a great value for the money. The wontons were hand wrapped, 2 for $ 1. The cream cheese filling was ever present, and did not dissipate in the frying process.
The Son was very nice and clearly a hard-​worker, be sure to tip as he has to wear many hats!
Talking with the other patrons in line, we learned of their reputation as the go to place for comfort food Thai. Even captains and their crew take a special cab ride here. Other restaurant workers on 16^th street choose this food cart above their own restaurants for lunch. Seriously, it’s that good!

Utterly delicious Thai street cuisine, conveniently located on the 16^th street mall and prepared with care. The menu ranges from noodle dishes like the Pad Thai, to rice oriented ones like the Pad Basil, as well as curries, steamed dumplings, and wontons. Spices can be requested anywhere from mild to mouth-​scorching.
The mother and son who run the stand are very friendly and talkative, always willing to accommodate for your order. Be prepared to wait 10 — 15 minutes between orders, but just know that the wait is worthwhile and its quality food you’re receiving.

Liang’s can pop out some pretty incredible Thai food! For one sweet lady, a 4 square foot kitchen and a propane tank, she’s able to whip up really tasty dishes. I’m definitely a seasoned veteran when it comes to Asian cuisine and I have to say this was some of the best I’ve ever had!
Ordered the pad-​see-​ewe and the beef was perfectly tender, the veggies were fresh and crisp and the sauce was excellent — not overpowering like many Asian noodle dishes. Highly recommend it!

Very good and clean street food. They make one order at a time so you have to stand in line for a while. Now accepting credit cards

Omg ridiculously awesome! Worth the wait and be prepared to wait. Count the heads in front of you and that’s 10 min each as they prepare each dish fresh to order.
Best Thai I ever had. Period. I had Panaang Curry beef and it was sweet and spicy terrific.
You won’t be disappointed!

We were devastated when we didn’t see her food cart for months… But SHE’S BACK!!! This is THE BEST Thai food we have found in Denver and conveniently located in downtown. Every dish is a must try!

I’m going to go ahead and mark down Friday, January 8^th as the happiest day of my life. Nope, I didn’t get married. Nope, I didn’t have a child. It was the day I discovered that Liang’s Thai Food was back, and all was right in the world again.
I watched as people walking down the 16^th Street Mall had the same reaction I had upon spotting Liang’s cart for the first time in months: a double-​take and a sprint across the street to get in line for some long-​awaited deliciousness. Her food is the best Thai I’ve found in Denver and SO worth the wait.

***Although my Unilocal reviews was written in August I was writing about my experience in May. I have since learned from other Unilocalers that she is no longer there and has been out since about June. Hopefully she will be back but I don’t want my review to cause any confusion. As of ⁸⁄₁₆ she is still no longer there***
***Updated 4/​20/​16*** Liang’s is back!

AWESOME food, cash only. That’s all you need to know. I ordered the pad thai and my wife had the chicken panang curry. Flavor was perfect and quantity of food was as much or more than at a sit down restaurant.
It’s hard to believe such good Thai food comes out of such a small food cart on the 16^th street mall. Definitely worth the wait.

Honestly, I just thought it was Thai food. I mean all the other times I’ve eaten it for the most part the flavored never fall too far from the previous place. But Liang’s? Woah. I didn’t expect this awesomeness. For Thai take out this place is just so good. Liang’s was able to make me LOVE her food. I don’t know where she gets her produce from but WOW does it taste good.
I got the drunken noodles with chicken. The string beans were so so good. I never tasted string beans so sweet in my life. The broccoli and carrots are super duper! They’re crunchy and fresh. I can’t even begin to express how good the food taste and I can’t begin to explain why. It’s magic. Really, try it it’s not really explainable.
The line can be long and the wait is long too. But hey, I had time to wait.
