We have a new Thai Restaurant opening up soon. What is your favorite Thai dish?

I have never eaten Thai food.  I hear it is good.  What is your favorite to order?

I guess most of the oriential dishes I have had, have been Thai, we have a couple in my city, and I really like them.  Some of their dishes can be very spicy, so be sure to ask if it doesn't say so.  One of the restaurants here is called Lek's and they have the best spring rolls with peanut sauce with is wonderful!

My favorite is a seafood dish.  Various seafoods, vegetables, vegetable spring rolls, and herbs/spices are wrapped in banana leaves and steamed.  Other favorites include pad thai with shrimp or chicken, curries, fish cakes, and various chicken dishes.  Some Thai restaurants will allow you to choose your level of hot pepper in the food.  

 

Some of the flavors you will find include lemongrass, chili peppers, basil (not typically that found in Italian foods), coriander, cinnanmon, star anise, kaffir limes, coconut, curry powder, and many others.  Bon appetit!

I meant to list the spring rolls as a separate item and not a part of the steamed seafood and vegetable dish. Thanks.

My favorites are the curries; pumpkin curry, avocado curry, and pineapple, specifically.

Depends on the restaurant.   There's a big variety from one to the next.   My friend and I will often order a bunch of appetizers for lunch.   Lettuce wraps, spring rolls, fried wontons, and anything else they might have and share.   Anything with peanut sauce is good.

 

   I like schezewan stuff but never get it when sharing, no one will eat too hot of food.   I'm also partial to coconut dishes.

 

Is it a chain?  The servers will usually tell you what's their specialty.

 

One of my favorite PF Changs dishes.   I'll make my own if it's too long in between visits.

Pineapple fried rice is a good dish to share.
