Blue Apsara

If you enjoy bold Southeast Asian flavors, you should visit this place. I've tried everything on the menu and loved it all. They offer several options, but every dish is like a comforting home-cooked meal. My favorites are the Papaya Salad, the Cambodian Beef Sticks, and Prahok Ktis. They are a small, family-owned business that is very kind and thoughtful. I love coming here to get takeout. There are also some picnic tables and seating inside the plant shop if you prefer to eat there.

Blue Apsara serves delicious, hand-made Cambodian food on the corner of S Lamar and Mary st. We had the Apsara steak set, which was tender and flavorful - served with rice. The Cambodian chicken curry was amazing, too! Large-cut potatoes and carrots with chicken that melts in your mouth. We ordered 2 papaya salads to go with our dinner and they were the best I’ve ever had. Everything was super fresh and made to order, spiced and sauced beautifully. You will be hooked once you try this food. Go see the owner, Kim, he’s friendly and fun to chat with! :)

Absolutely fantastic! The owner is super nice and very helpful! The food is among the best I've had in a while regardless of type or even price. The flavors are just so delicious. The pork, cucumber, cilantro, sauces - everything just mixes wonderfully together! The truck is in a great little spot with plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. Also the trucks graphic design is really nice and is what originally caught our eye - a pretty blue food truck with art and large print letting us know it Cambodian cuisine! I cannot recommend this spot enough! So good.

I’ve have been waitinggg for a Cambodian spot since moving to Austin years ago! The beef sticks were flavorful. Love the Tiger Steak, the fish, curry and spring rolls. So good I had to get it twice in one week.

I’m a Cambodian American, meaning my parents escaped the Cambodian genocide, and I was born in the States. Growing up, I remember family dinners and large family/friends gatherings with delicious assortments of Cambodian food. I’ve moved away from most of my family and always miss Cambodian home cooking. Kim, the Khmer owner, is very kind and courteous. I enjoyed the curry, which brings nostalgic memories of my childhood. We had the sandwich, which was my wife’s favorite. The fried egg rolls were delicious, crispy, and meaty. Beef sticks with sticky rice were tasty with a hint of lemon grass seasoning on the beef, which I’ve missed eating since I was young. I recommend trying it out if you haven’t had Cambodian food before. My wife and I will definitely be going back. Extremely grateful
