Are you craving authentic Pad Thai in Dallas, TX? Look no further than Banana Leaf Thai for a culinary experience like no other. Our restaurant is renowned for serving the best Pad Thai in town, prepared with fresh ingredients and traditional Thai flavors.

What Is Pad Thai?

Pad Thai is Thailand’s most famous noodle dish: thin rice noodles stir-fried with egg, tofu or shrimp, bean sprouts, and green onion in a sweet-and-tangy tamarind sauce, finished with crushed peanuts and a squeeze of fresh lime. The result is a balance of sweet, sour, salty, and savory in every bite. Because it’s made with rice noodles rather than wheat, Pad Thai can be prepared gluten-free — the main thing to check is the sauce.

What’s in Pad Thai? The core ingredients are:

  • Thin rice noodles
  • A protein — shrimp, chicken, or tofu
  • Egg (left out for the vegan version)
  • Tamarind sauce (sweet-tangy), plus fish sauce and a little sugar
  • Bean sprouts, green onion, crushed peanuts, and lime

At Banana Leaf Thai in Dallas, our Pad Thai is made to order from a family recipe — and can be prepared gluten-free or vegan on request.
