| - The other yelpers are right: Golden Wok has THE best pad thai around (and it's not even a thai restaurant, it's "chinese/thai," a combination I usually stay far far away from). Correction: Golden Wok has the best pad thai EVER. And yes, this is comparing it against not only the local places, but also every thai restaurant I've ever been to, and I've been to plenty. The reason why their pad thai is so good is because of the flavoring: A lot of other Thai places either don't have enough of it, or they have so much that it's overly sweet and/or salty and it becomes so cloying I can't ever bear to finish it. Golden Wok's pad thai, on the other hand, is done so well I finished it very quickly in one sitting...and as others have said, their portions are VERY generous. Besides the flavor, the noodles are also done well, not mushy and stuck together, and not undercooked, and overall the dish isn't too oily either. Four stars for the delicious pad thai all on its own; I haven't tried anything else there but we'll see how that goes...like I said, I usually stay away from "chinese/thai" places, but I feel like Golden Wok has earned my respect, if nothing else for their pad thai.
They have their own lot, so parking isn't as bad as it is on campus. Look out for the small yellowish standalone building; it's easy to drive past it.
