  • All Thai restaurants should be judged on their Pad Thai. It's amazing how this simple dish can be so different from place to place, much like a bowl of pho. But that's the irony of it all...the simplest things are often the most difficult to duplicate. Nevertheless, there IS a standard and Khao San's pad thai is very close to perfection. Pad Thai- 4 stars. The sauce is spot on with a nice light peanutty tamarind sauce that doesn't overwhelm the rest of the ingredients, allowing you to taste the protein, bean sprouts, spices, lime and even noodles! What's most surprising is the size of the portion...most Thai restaurants of this caliber never serve that much pad thai on a dish (let alone, the rest of the menu), but I'm not complaining, just amazed that they were able to maintain the flavors. The only thing keeping this dish from being a perfect 5 stars is the grease...just a tad too much cooking oil. It's not enough to settle on the plate, but you can certainly see it clinging onto the noodles. Sweet rice w/ Thai custard- 4 stars. This is one of the lightest versions I've had, though very good. The sweet sticy rice has just the perfect amount of palm sugar (I assume) and coconut milk to stimulate your senses. The rice, itself, is held together lightly...normally, they're much denser after being handled. The custard is as good as it gets, without being too sweet. My only gripes are the sesame seeds and portions of custard and coconut sauce. I've never had this dish with sprinkled sesame seeds, so it was a little weird and the crunchiness took away from the soft, tender experience of consuming this dish. I also would've liked the custard to be cut the size of the rice (and perhaps served a bit warmer, as it was a bit cold to the taste). As small as the rice was (cube shaped), the custard was even smaller....it's not a garnish but rather a co-main ingredient in this dish. And finally, the coconut sauce was nearly absent with only a drop or two on top of the minuscule custard. A drizzle or brush of the sauce would've been just as pleasing on the eyes as it would've been to the mouth. Looking forward to trying the other dishes!
