Our Story

We are a new business whose mission is to bring authentic Thai cuisine to the Austin area. Experience the flavors of Bangkok street food right here in Buda, Texas.

The heart of our operation is a mother and son dynamic duo, Lin & Moss. With twenty years in the food industry, serendipity and reoccurring dreams have lead them to establish Thai Q.

Lin's passion for creating delicious Thai favorites started within her community. Lin has built her family on the belief that when you are provided the opportunity, you should always give what you have to support others. Lin raised her son Moss on this principle within the Buddhist community. Lin has crafted countless meals for the Buddhist monks and her local Thai community, carrying this intention within her heart. Through this, Lin felt called to be a chef. When she creates meals by hand, she witnesses how her food is always quickly devoured.

Outside of being a chef and dutiful mother, Lin's loved ones know that she also holds stock in following her dreams, literally. Lin dreamt about her son Moss gaining a job opportunity and moving to Austin, which he did in 2018. Fortuitously, Lin recently had a dream that someone would be approaching her about selling a food truck. A few weeks later her clairvoyant dream lead to the purchase of this very truck and the motivation to take a risk on the Austin-area Food Truck scene.
