Pad Thai

Pad Thai at The Mekong is a beloved Thai dish that perfectly balances the five fundamental tastes: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami. This iconic stir-fried noodle dish is prepared with thin, flat rice noodles tossed in a hot wok with your choice of protein—typically shrimp, chicken, or tofu—along with eggs, bean sprouts, and scallions. The noodles are coated in a tangy tamarind sauce, which gives the dish its distinctive sweet and sour flavor.

Crushed peanuts and a squeeze of lime are added on top to enhance the dish with a bit of crunch and an extra layer of brightness. Whether you're a fan of Thai cuisine or new to its flavors, Pad Thai is a dish that offers a delightful and satisfying experience, making it a staple choice for anyone visiting The Mekong.
