I have a confession to make though.. I tend to get my Pad Thai from Thai Express, which I know most Thai food lovers will judge me for but it's actually pretty good.
But everyone knows if you're looking for a good, authentic Pad Thai you should look to some of the hidden, family-run restaurants all over the city. So if you're craving some a flavourful Pad Thai dish like I definitely am, check out one of these restaurants near you!
