What should I get from a Thai restaurant?

[cbwm1]

I'm going to have thai for the first time. I do not eat seafood and I'm not huge on tofu.

What should I get??

[MWOS]

get pad thai with chicken

[Deleted]

Pad Kee Mao or Pineapple fried rice

[janegold]

Masaman curry with protein of your choice. Extra peanuts.

[liverandonions]

Pad Se Ew with crushed peanuts.

[sonrisa]

Green curry. I also love red curry but you can't usually get that mild so only go that route if you want it spicy.

[LLL]

Pad See Ew or Pad Thai. Both with chicken

[Deleted]

Basil Pad Thai with tofu

Masaman curry ONLY if they use sweet potatoes not white potatoes

Fresh rolls with extra sauce

Thai Iced Tea

[underwaterrhymes]

Mango Curry with your choice of protein

[shostakovich]

Do you like ginger? If so, get gai pad king, with whatever meat you like. If you can handle medium spice, get yellow curry with chicken. And get a Thai iced tea.

Pad Thai w/ chicken is always my go-to. Can't get enough (just made it last night for dinner!).

Yes. Hands down my favorite. 

[callie]

Pad Kra Pao withwhatever protein you like. I get Beef.

Get a Thai Iced Tea too.

[rageragerage]

Pad see ewe is my go-to.

[EmilieMadison]

Another vote for Pad Thai. Chicken Satay is a good appetizer, too.

[sawyerthedestroyer]

Pad Thai is a good intro food.

I also love red curry. I always get chicken with Thai.

[schitzengiggles]

For a Thai newbie, definitely go with Pad Thai with chicken. That's a good basic standard intro to Thai food, IMO.

[urbancowgirl]

Drunken noodles or Pad Thai.

[moreace01]

I always get a curry - red, green or Massaman depending on my mood.

For app, I love Tiger Cry. It's like charbroiled strips of beef with a spicy, salty, sweet dipping sauce. Love it.

Panang Curry is usually fairly mild, and very yummy. I get it with chicken.

Usually when my family gets Thai, we get an order of either Panang Curry or Green Curry, an order of Pad Thai, and an order of Pad See Ew (drunken noodles). Sometimes we'll get a starter of either spring rolls or Chicken Satay (like a grilled chicken skewer with peanut sauce).

[curtains]

Thai Iced Tea for sure

[CurlyQ284]

I like Pad See Ew with chicken. Drunken noodle is really good if you like spicy.

All the food!

More important is the determine spice. The restaurant I go to does not mess around. Like Hot Mexican salsa most places is equivalent spicy to mild at the Thai restaurant.

Okay, so I got some kind of garlic chicken (allegedly a restaurant special) and the sauce was good but the chicken was super fatty and gross and also questionable with flavor/taste/freshness.

I would have sent it back, but I was with my boss and new coworkers and didn't want to look like a total asshole.

Pad Thai and Tom Kha Gai soup. Omg get in my belly.
