So - I am going out to Thai food today and wanted to poll the masses. What do you order when you go out for Thai? I am thinking about trying Larb for the first time, as that looks like a pretty good option.

    Always Pad Thai, but I only eat about half the noodles.

    I get Drunken Noodles with extra veggies. I don't think it has coconut milk in it, but I always expect a gain the next day due to water retention because it has tons of sodium!!

    Summer rolls, tom yum, satay (but go easy on the sauce), or a stir fry with veg and/or lean meat - go easy on the rice or skip it. If you want a curry without coconut, the kaeng pa (jungle curry) is more brothy.

    I always order yellow curry because I just love it too much not to!

    I was going to say summer rolls too. I will actually get them as a meal instead of an appetizer. Sometimes they will have pork and shrimp and sometimes just shrimp or they can be vegetarian. i use plenty of peanut sauce. I love most Thai food but eat it rarely. Live a little get some Pad Thai

    spicy basil noodles and eat only half, or green curry and eat only part of the rice... always like bringing back left overs for lunch the next day

    I can't resist pa nang curry, so I eat half. Most thai dishes are heavy on the sauce/noodles, so I just make room for it and enjoy it, especially if they have black rice!!

    You guys are making me hungry! I guess it is Thai for us tonight too. Grilled beef salad, green curry with chicken and drunken noodles. Side of rice for hubby - as for me, i will have steamed broccoli with the beef and chicken plus a little taste of the drunken noodles.

    I want Thai now too! I almost told my husband we should go out this weekend but we have a groupon for Ethiopian that we're using before it expires.

    I love Thai bar-b-que pork with no bones. I eat half and half the rice.

    When making Pad Thai at home, I use spaghetti squash, instead of noodles.

    I always get lahb (sometimes spelled larb). It can get pretty spicy if you like it that way. If not, be sure to ask. Love the stuff. Enjoy!

    Love thai food, usually if I get pad thai or the flat spicy noodles (forgot what its called) I only eat half because they have so many calories and I am usually stuffed anyway half way through. Take the other half home :)

    I work at Thai cuisine, and I would recommend getting brown rice with a side of steamed vegetables and some sort of meat
