Our Pad Thai Beef is the plate Winnipeg regulars come back for — flat rice noodles wok-tossed over high heat with strips of beef, egg, bean sprouts and green onion in a sweet-and-sour tamarind sauce, finished with crushed peanuts and fresh lime.
Pad thai is the dish that introduced most Canadians to Thai cooking, and the beef version is one of the most ordered plates at Tom Yum Thai on Sherbrook Street. Rice noodles are soaked until just tender, then fired in the wok with beef, egg, bean sprouts and garlic chives in a tamarind sauce that balances sweet, sour and savoury in every forkful.
Every plate is finished the traditional way — crushed peanuts, a wedge of fresh lime and chili flakes on the side so you can dial the heat up or down. Portions are generous enough to share, which is why Health Sciences Centre staff, students and West End neighbours order it week after week.
Everything happens in the wok, to order. The beef is seared first so it stays tender, the noodles follow to pick up that smoky wok flavour, and the tamarind sauce goes in last so the noodles stay springy instead of soggy. Nothing sits under a heat lamp — your pad thai is cooked when you order it, whether you are dining in or picking it up on Sherbrook Street.
Start with crispy Thai spring rolls, then add a bowl of tom yum jombo noodle soup with seafood for the table. Feeding a group? A shared green curry chicken with steamed jasmine rice rounds the meal out beautifully. Browse the full Thai menu for more Thai classics.
