Saechao Food Truck brought bold Thai street food and Hawaiian-inspired poke bowls to Merced — and the community never looked back.
Saechao Food Truck | Our Story
Merced Needed Something Bold
Bold, fresh Thai street food and quality poke bowls were genuinely hard to find in Merced. Saechao Food Truck pulled up to Martin Luther King Jr Way and filled that gap — loudly and deliciously.
The Food Is the Mission
Every dish is built around the four pillars of Thai cooking: sweet, spicy, salty, and sour — all in balance, all in one bite. From curries and stir-fried noodles to crispy katsu chicken, every plate leaves with intention.
The Man Behind the Window
Owner Todd knows his regulars by name and treats first-timers like they've been coming for years. He'll walk you through the menu, help you build the perfect bowl, and make you feel like a neighbor.
Poke Bowls, Built Your Way
Fresh fish over rice, customizable with extra scoops and your choice of toppings. Spicy tuna is the crowd favorite, but every combination hits.
Merced Made It Home
Great food doesn't need a grand dining room — it just needs someone who cares about every dish. Saechao earned its place in Merced one order at a time.
