Excuse me, I'm trying to decide between the Pad Thai and the Green Curry. Do you have a recommendation?

Both are excellent choices. The Pad Thai is a classic, very popular, with a good balance of sweet, sour, and savory. Our Green Curry is a bit spicier, and very rich with coconut milk.

这两个选择都很棒。泰式炒河粉是经典菜，非常受欢迎，甜、酸、咸味平衡得很好。我们的绿咖喱会辣一点，椰奶味很浓郁。

Yes, absolutely. The Pad Thai comes with your choice of protein: chicken, beef, shrimp, or tofu.
