Very tasty! I can see how some people may not like this because of the fish sauce taste (so if you don't like fish sauce, you should use another recipe). I did add some cilantro and chili sauce for more flavor. I will definitely use this recipe again.

We didn't care for the sour, fishy taste of this cole slaw. Maybe it was the brand of fish sauce I used. Oh, well, there are plenty of other salads out there.

This coleslaw is quick and easy to make. I had read the reviews and noticed comments about sweetness so I halved the honey. I also added a teaspoon of chili paste as suggested. I have made this twice and forgot the chili the second time. It was better with the chili. We really liked it and I made if for company and they liked it too. I will make this many times over summer because I don't have to worry about mayonnaise spoiling.

We really liked this, I'm surprised at some of the bad reviews. However, I made it at the last minute, and didn't have any fish sauce, so just skipped that part. I'll definitely make this again!

This did not turn out as well as I expected. I place the blame for that squarely on the shoulders of the packaged coleslaw mix - as a rule really it shouldnt be used unless you have zero time to cook.

This was very bad. Their was too much liquid for only bag of one coleslaw mix, and was very tart. The flavors did not blend well at all. Would not recommend this to anyone. Boyfriend said "tastes like ".

I did not like this at all. A complete waste of ingredients.

Very good! Nice change from the traditional creamy cole slaw made with mayonaise and much healthier.

I made this recipe exactly as written except that I substituted an equal amount of shredded green and red cabbage and shredded carrot for the coleslaw mix to save money. The coleslaw was okay, not my favorite and I likely won't make it again but it was good enough to round out dinner.

Made this exactly according to the recipe, and I just didn't think it was that good. I love thai food and I made it as an accompaniment to a thai dinner. After taste testing it, I decided not to inflict it on my boyfriend. The fish sauce makes it taste vaguely funky, and the flavors don't sparkle and pop the way I think they should in a Thai salad.

Brought this to a party and it went over REALLY well. I added 2 tablespoons of a chili garlic sauce (from the Chinese food area of the grocery store) and instead of salt/pepper - added some Mrs. Dash - about a heaping teaspoon. This is a keeper recipe - and VERY easy as well.

THis was good. I cut back on the honey, added sesame seeds instead of peanuts like one reviewer suggested, and I added a bit of ginger. I will be making this again.

I'm not usually a fan of sweet salads but this one was pretty good. Still, next time I think I halve the honey, replacing the missing half with an equal amount of soy sauce, to reduce the sweetness and increase the "Asianness" of the flavor.

I really liked this but my boyfriend didn't care for it. I didn't have fish sauce though and I thought it could use more peanuts. I would make this again.
