Thai Kitchen says: Thai Kitchen single serve Noodle Carts are a quick and convenient way to satisfy your craving for a Thai stir-fry style noodle style dish without having to go to a Thai restaurant.

Abi says: Rice noodles, an oil packet, and some seasonings. Not enough seasonings for those rice noodles, which I didn’t finish before they solidified into a cold mass of gelatinous noodliness.

While I appreciated the fact sheet about lemongrass, I could not detect any lemongrass in my meal. In fact, all I could detect was the slightest scent of tamarind. Thai Kitchen’s Pad Thai is Vegan, sugary, and unsatisfying. I will stick with the Peanut Noodles and other superior vegan meals. If you’re in 7-11 and compelled to purchase a Thai Kitchen noodle item, go with the Peanut Noodles.

Yeah, I didn’t love these either, but I didn’t really like any of the noodle dishes. The soups on the other hand were pretty tasty, but not very filling.

These (the pad thai noodles) are actually my favorite of the flavors of these noodle meals- I just found out the other day that one of my co-workers likes these too.

It’s a small serving but the flavor is tangy, sweet and savory all at once.

So before you pass them by because of Abi’s review, bear in mind that they don’t cost that much so it might be worth a try. You can always just not buy them again if you think they suck.

(Pad Thai flavor) They must have taken Abi’s comments and made an effort (over-effort) to satisfy Abi’s pallet. I found the noodles to be good and firm and hold texture while I suffered through them. The seasoning packet was easily two-thirds the weight of the entire meal. I used the whole package even though it seemed too much and sure enough it was! I am going to give it another shot but use half the package. Overall, a quick cheap middle of the night/hotel away from home snack.

Hm… I usually get the two-person size, stir-fry tofu and vegetables and add copius amounts of peanut sauce and sometimes peanut butter, and it usually works out pretty well for supper.
