"The most famous phat thai in Bangkok, flash-fried by the same husband–and-wife team since 1966."

"Pad Thai prepared over charcoal woks. We got here at 5 p.m. when the place opened, and by 5:30 even with eight woks going there was a huge line outside." Full review

"Under the red sign and neon lights, you’ll have to jockey for a table, but the memory of their paper-thin egg coating around the noodles will stay with you long after you’ve left the country. " Full review

"For the iconic version of the dish, head to this indoor-outdoor shop on Maha Chai Road...for their so-called "Superb" version chefs combine noodles, fish oil, shrimp, crab, mango, and prawns" Full review

"The line outside of this stall in Phra Nakhon may snake around the corner, but be patient and wait for the best pad thai in the country." Full review
