“The Chinatown Thai-Chinese spot turns out a pad Thai with excellent wok hei — chewy rice noodles, sweet-sour tamarind sauce, crunchy peanuts, and a squeeze of lime that ties it all together.”

“An East Village Isaan restaurant where the pad Thai is a supporting player to the som tum but holds its own — well-balanced tamarind sauce, fresh shrimp, and a textbook wok char.”
