Combination Pad Thai

The most authentic Thai I've had in the states. I've tried multiple Thai restaurants in America but none of them have compared to Pad Thai in Mount Pleasant. My go to dish: Combination Pad Thai and crab Rangoons.

Healthier choice!

Had great take out at Pad Thai! Only had to wait about 10 minutes after placing an order for 2 to go pick it up. Take heed of the spice warnings because they are no joke. I had to take the chilis out of my Pad Phet because they were so hot, but they left a good flavor behind. I was a little disappointed that there was so much rice though and not many vegetables. My mom's Pad Thai with peanuts was excellent, though and everything was perfectly balanced. There are a lot of great vegan friendly options, though - probably some of the best in southeast Iowa. The prices are pretty fair at $9-$15 per meal (shrimp adds $2) and I would definitely recommend it if you're in Mount Pleasant

I've eaten at many Thai restaurants all over and this one is as good as any, the food is fresh and homemade, everything I've had was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. Really hope people will support family run businesses like this.

Not sure but it was spicy just right

Took a chance and boy was I glad we did. Very small place but the place is very clean and the food. I have to say it was amazing and the young lady waiting on us was doing the traditional bow as a way of respecting someone. My pet peeve is food that's is up to temps. It was very hot food. They do a great job for being a small place. Great job and I wish you good luck in the future.

Yummy Thai Iced Tea (I already mixed it, sorry)

OMG; still so awesome! Just had the Cicken Satay, Massaman Curry and the wife had the Hawaiian Fried Rice! Holy crap! Why is there such good Thai food in this little corner of Iowa!? SO GOOD!!!

Here is an updated picture of the menu! I get the Drunkin Noodles every time and ask for 5/5 spicy.

"Traditional" Pad Thai
Jirakate M.

Unfortunately, I feel the food here is a bit overrated. I am Thai and I feel embarrassed that some people thought the food here is better than the food they sampled in Thailand. The Yam Nam is not too bad, just a bit salty. The Traditional Pad Thai is definitely a different definition of traditional than I am used to. Missing were the tofu, bean sprouts, dried shrimps, and/or Chinese chives. The Drunken Noodle is a little bit too sweet for my palate. Considering this is a relatively small community, I am pleased they have the option of Thai food. Based on the temperature of the food and the quality of the ingredients they did include, I would give this place 4 stars, however the service is less than satisfactory. Bad enough to derate them an entire star.

Drunken noodle!

The Pho was too salty as the broth was not freshly made. This was the worst Pho I have ever had!

I'm not exaggerating when I say that this is some of the best food I've ever had…read more My family introduced me to this restaurant a couple years back, and let me tell you, their food is always as amazing as the day I first tried it. I live at pretty much the opposite side of the country, so every time I visit my family in Burlington this is always the first place I suggest. My favorite thing to get here is the chicken fried rice. There is always so much flavor and everything in it just goes together so well. Not only is their food amazing, but the people here are too. Every time we come here we are always greeted with a smile. Very kind and hospitable people. 100% recommend this place.

As we traveled through Iowa, good Thai food is not what we expected; however, this was a perfect…read morespot. It's a small restaurant in downtown Burlington, so seating can be difficult during busy hours. Thankfully, we grabbed the last table before the rush. Our waitress was friendly and sweet. Despite being busy, she was attentive and timely. The lunch menu was limited to a few items, but they had what we wanted: Massaman curry with tofu (requested vegetarian) and egg rolls (not pictured). They were excellent! The curry was well seasoned and perfectly spiced; tofu was fresh and lightly fried; potatoes were flavorful and not bland; and veggies were fresh! The egg rolls were just as good, although I don't recall if they came with dipping sauce -- curry was too good for me to notice! You cannot find Thai food for $9 in California, not even lunch time, so this was a bonus. I'm sure their dinner menu holds up just as great, if not better. I definitely recommend this charming restaurant if you want inexpensive Thai for lunch. Excellent choice!
