A Thai restaurant menu may group dishes by cooking style, ingredient or how a meal is served. Asking a short question can make ordering easier.
In the kitchen
Stir-fried, grilled, steamed and curried dishes have different textures and richness. Descriptions may not list every ingredient, so ask staff if you need details.
Pairing and practical tips
Spice labels vary by kitchen. For a group, combine a main dish with vegetables, rice and soup or salad. Explain allergies and dietary preferences before ordering.
Thai recipes vary by region, household and available ingredients. Taste as you cook and adjust seasoning in small steps.
