I used to only order pad thai, but found they vary so much place to place there's a 50/50 shot I'll hate it. Some smother with cilantro, and I'm on of those weird anti cilantro people. Some use a peanut sauce. Some use crushed peanuts. Some use whole nuts. Just to name a few variables. I think the worst I had was just rice noodles, cilantro, whole nut pieces, and egg pieces. And that was all. Anymore I find drunken noodles(Thai spicy) pretty reliable. I have no idea if it's even an authentic dish, but it seems more consistent.

I'm still sad that my favorite pad thai (-selling restaurant) vanished overnight. They definitely vary a lot, and I also avoid it somewhat for that reason, but when you find one that fits all your requirements it's great.

Do they use the immature peanuts or the mature harder ones? Somehow, when used in dishes, I am okay with the former, but don't like the latter. Okay with both for eating plain.
