What is the best Thai dish for beginners?

The best Thai food recommendation for new Thai food eaters is fat or thick noodles and curry. Choose a salad, some vegetable dishes and rice. If this is your first time eating Thai, get a simple Thai curry sauce, maybe yellow for starters and make sure there is a coconut base, whatever you choose.

What are the 5 major flavors of Thai food?

These are: salty, sweet, spicy, sour, and creamy. For the dish to taste authentic, all five flavors need to be in a perfect balance. Cooking Thai food isn't easy, and if the flavors don't complement one another, something will taste off.

What does pad mean in Thai?

Means fried. There are however, countless Thai dishes with the word Pad in it. The main ingredient in Pad Thai is rice noodles which are stir-fried. So, if you were to roughly translate Pad Thai, you'd have to say the dish is stir-fried noodles Thai style.

What is the most popular Thai noodle dish?

Guay teow simply means noodle soup, it's possibly the most popular dish in Thailand. If you have a craving for it then you won't have to look very far as it's available any time of day, it's particularly good as a late-night snack, and can be found everywhere.

When eating out, or making a meal at home, a group of Thai diners would eat a variety of meat and/or fish dishes, plus vegetables, a noodle dish, and possibly soup. Everything is shared, except the soup each person might order, or each person gets a personal bowl to get a serving of the soup.

Green beef curry with no green peppers. Servers were humble, polite and clean. Peaceful atmosphere, like a library on sunday.

Party of 7, family and friends. I really enjoyed Thai One On and recommend this restaurant to all who enjoy Thai food. Everyone in my dining group enjoyed the meal. Here's a plus, Thai One On has a full bar! The Thai restaurants in my area, Orange County, don't have a full bar, so it was a great surprise and added to the great food and superior service.

If you haven’t been, why haven’t you? Oh my goodness. The atmosphere, the service, the FOOD. What an experience! The owner is usually there, Bill. Visits with his customers, you feel like you’re visiting his home.
We had the vegetable soup and I had Siamese twins. Chicken and shrimp, my husband had Thai chicken fried rice. The meal was incredible. The spice is from 0-10. Mild means mild and hot is HOT.
Give it a try for lunch or dinner. You’ll be glad you did.

Drunken noodles with chicken. Delicious. They have 1 thru 10 hot. I ordered 7. It was 0. Spice rack with dry chilis and paste made the dish just the right burn.
Wife had the sole with apples and peppers. She finished it. Lot's of food.
Tatiana was outstanding. Patient with questions and helpful with menu tips.
