Forkelo ranking · Updated September 2026
3 pad thai across Mountain View, ranked on what people say about the dish itself — never the restaurant's overall rating.
Tommy Thai · Mountain View
5 dish-specific mentions · 80% positive · 3 source types · menu verified September 2026
Called perfectly balanced between sweet, savoury and tangy, with correctly cooked noodles and a generous portion. One diner who moved away still misses it as their favourite.
Khao Kang Thai Kitchen · Mountain View
3 dish-specific mentions · 67% positive · 2 source types · menu verified September 2026
One diner ate it alongside khao soi and pad kee mao and said all three tasted great. Another found it dry and not fresh, and the worst part of their meal.
Shana Thai · Mountain View
4 dish-specific mentions · 25% positive · 2 source types · menu verified September 2026
One diner rates it better than other Thai kitchens they have tried, at reasonable prices. Others were more neutral, and one found the style too eggy for their taste.
Every score is built from evidence about the specific dish: how often locals recommend it, how strongly, how recently, and whether independent sources agree. A restaurant's overall star rating is never converted into a dish score.
Quality and confidence are reported separately. A dish two people loved can score high, but it is marked early ranking until more evidence backs it up. The whole calculation — every constant, and three dishes worked through line by line — is written out on the methodology page.
