That’s a good plan, let me know how it goes with the Drunken Noodles.

Where’s your favorite Pad Thai?

You are definitely missing out. Do you like spicy food?

Thanks for stopping by and saying hello. I haven’t tried Wondee yet but it’s atop the Thai to do list. I don’t know about the place in Astoria, I do know about sripraphai in woodside, which I’ve heard a lot of praise for. I looked up the name as you typed it and it is indeed Arharn. Here’s a review from NY Times.

As far as Pad See Ew goes, isn’t it also sweet compared to Pad Kee Mao’s spicy? What’s the secret to cooking great Thai, specifically great Pad See Ew? I love cooking but don’t get too nearly enough, do you use a wok? Is it possible to cook Thai well without a wok?

What are YOUR top Thai spots? Where are you from originally?

Look forward to hearing back from you.

He used to live a few blocks from each though, so maybe that swayed his vote. He does say they are both the best of Manhattan.

But every time I ask him, he refuses to acknowledge any other place in NYC other than one Thai place in Astoria under the EL train. I forget the name..Arharn Thai? Why is that one so much better than Pam or Wondee? What do I know? I’m a farang.

BTW, Food Guy..if you love pad kee mao..try pad see ew. That is my favorite. It is like pad kee mao, but not as saucy. I have pad see ew down cold, and can cook it without a recipe by now….still have to work on pad kee mao! OH, they are both delicious though, so it’s all good.

Thanks for the kind words. It’s all about cheap ethnic food that is actually delicious. Where are some of your top spots in the city? Great photos on your site btw.
