This is an excellent recipe- very easy to adapt. I sometimes use different types of meat, and it is very good.

Well, this recipe defiantly didn’t taste like ANY Pad Thai that I have ever eaten. That being said, it was still pretty good. I strongly recommend trading the vegetable oil for wok oil though. I also used shrimp instead of tofu. The recipe was worth trying (although, when I was trying to find that tamarind paste I almost gave up on the whole thing!) but I’m not sure if it was worth making again.

I really wanted to like this because of all the great reviews, but this tasted nothing like the pad thai at ANY of the many places of dined. The tamarind was WAY too strong and the ketchup was just wrong in flavor and texture. I had one bite, and the rest was tossed. Sorry :(

I usually find restaurant pad thai too high in sodium and fish flavourey. So I was pretty pleased with this recipe. I did not add tamarind paste though...couldn't find it in the store and it still tasted great. Also, I added broccoli and red peppers to up the veggie count and used a whole cube of tofu. I will make this one again, thanks!

The Tamarind made this dish very tangy...too tangy for our taste. Not sure what could be added to offset that, but I would make it again if there was less tartness.

This was a good recipe in and of itself, though it should be noted that the sauce didn't end up tasting much like the pad thai I have had. Still, very very tasty. We followed this recipe to a T.
