This recipe is the real deal! I've tried other recipes to much disappointment, but this one was AWESOME! Easy to make, and the sauce really does need an hour... so plan accordingly. I've shared the leftovers to my coworkers and they all thought it was great too. Totally worth it!

This recipe results in top notch Pad Thai! The secrets are in the sauce, the ingredients and the technique used to put them all together. I omitted the dried shrimp (the cook author of this recipe called them optional but otherwise used the recipe as designed and the outcome was excellent. Thai food is among my favorites for the textures and flavors and I seek it out when I travel. Based on experience it seems that in too many Us Thai restaurants the Pad Thai can be a greasy, overly sweet, gummy mess. But when it's good, it's really wonderful - as in this recipe. I'll admit that I'm not a big fan of egg in Pad Thai, as perfectly traditional as that ingredient is, so next time I make this at home I'll omit the eggs just for personal preference. For home cooks who love Thai food, this recipe is a "must try".

(Actually, that's not fair. I made Tyler Florence's recipe and it turned out well. This one is fantastic. I have to cook the eggs first, because I think my wok is too small. The sauce is absolutely perfect. I'm not going out for pad Thai ever again -- why bother when I can make this one at home and KNOW that it'll be great? Thank you so so so much, Food Network, for giving us this recipe. Please tell Nongkran that she's made a valuable contribution.

This Pad Thai recipe was Great! I did use the salt called for in the sauce recipe. It doesn't come out too salty. It was a nice balance of salty and sweet. The sauce recipe makes more than you need. This makes it easy to make the Pad Thai recipe again. I didn't cook the noodles quite long enough before adding the shrimp back. I recommend trying one to make sure they are cooked long enough. The recipe was absolutely delicious and I will definetely make it again. No wonder she won the throwdown with Bobby

I love pad thai and have been looking for an authentic recipe. I really thought that this was authentic pad thai. I didn't add any of the extra salt because the fish sauce is definitely salty enough. I definitely don't recommend adding any extra salt. If I had, the dish would probably have been inedible. All in all, a really good pad thai dish to try!

I love Thai food and thought I would try this recipe. It was delicious! It did involve a trip to an asian market for palm sugar, tamarind concentrate, and preserved radishes. It was well worth it. The only change I made was that I added a little cilantro (only because I love it. I would recommend trying this. I made the sauce the night before and put it in the fridge.

I love Phad Thai and I have tried and failed miserably at making it. Even Alton Browns recipe didn't turn out very well for me.. However, this is a
Fantastic recipe, I think the Phad Thai sauce was right on and the key was the reduction.

Thank you Food Network for this Throwdown!
