[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Backpacker’s Pantry Pad Thai is my go to for dehydrated food. It comes with lime powder, peanuts, peanut butter and spicy sriracha. After 20 mile days on the trail, I need a big meal that’s going to refuel my carbs and protein, but also taste amazing. It’s also so lightweight, every ounce counts! I hope they never stop making it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this a handful of times on national parks trips, and it's hands down the best backpacking meal I've every had. It comes with a small peanut butter packet, seasoning, peanuts and powdered lime. Really hits the spot after a long day on the trail!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Pad Thia come with all the fixing, including lime powder, chili powder and peanut. The chili powder gives the freedom to make it more or less spicy, which I really appreciated out on the mountains. It did not use too much water and was easy to make. I would defiantly buy this product again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If I had been on the trail for a few weeks this probably would have gotten 5 stars, but since I was just lazy and used it while car-camping, it gets three, since my comparison to fresh food was more recent. My only suggestion would be to use slightly less water than they suggested, as it came out a bit soupy. Flavor was pretty good, though.

Bought to taste test for upcoming hiking/kayaking season. Impressed it has all organic ingredients! I would prefer a little more peanut/Thai taste but nonetheless I was happily impressed! This will definitely get packed!

My son and I agree that the Pad Thai was our favorite meal on our last 3-day trip. The peanuts were a nice touch along with the peanut sauce. However, the sauce was thick and difficult to remove from the small package--we added a little heat and massage the second time around.

I was somewhat skeptical about this but decided to try it and I was not disappointed. It cooked according to the directions and tasted fabulous. A little pricey but worth it for the wait and the taste.

almost, but not quite as tasty as the real thing. Was a poor substitute for pad thai. If you're looking for a new meal to try skip this one.

Very good. Take it everytime we go backpacking on the AT. One of our favorites.

I bought the Pad Thai to try something new on the trail. After packing out eight miles (a trial trail run) it was time for supper. I popped the bag open followed the instructions and chowed down... Then a strange thing happened. I had leftovers. Since I was heading back to the car I decided to reseal the bag put it in a ziploc and hold onto it. Usually a two serving pouch is just about one meal for me after a good hike. This two serving pouch was closer to one and a half meals.My only real gripe was the number of small plastic bags contained within the main pouch. Not a huge burden to pack out a little bit of extra trash but it means I prob will save this for a end of hike meal.Overall I would suggest giving this a try if you are looking for something different than beef stew or the various incarnations of mac and cheese.

This goes for nearly all of Backpacker's Pantry meals: half the sodium and twice the calories of Mountain House dehydrated meals. Three to five times the dietary fiber of MH meals and 0% cholesterol. More calories equates to more energy in a hiking/backpacking/survival situation and at the same price as Mountain House entrees, Backpacker's Pantry value can't be beat. I found my new brand of backpacking meals.

I am a fan of Pad Thai, and while I did not expect a whole lot from a freeze dried version, I thought I would try it out on a recent Cub Scout campout. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised and it tasted quite good. I will buy it again.

Ease of preparation and low weight of product made it ideal for backpacking. Filling meal at the end of a long day of hiking.

After 12 miles on the trail I was looking for something filling and tasty. The Pad Thai by Backpacker's Pantry fit the bill. With claims of enough for 2 servings I was hoping that this would be enough to satisfy my appetite. It was. That was a relief as other dehydrated meals have come up short in the past. Taste wasn't bad either. I won't stop dining out with this product but I will consider it on other backpacking trips.

I usually feast on pasta primavera from Mountain House and was unsure about trying another brand. As a vegetarian, there are not many commercial options for prepared backpacking food for me. This was a nice change, though too much in quantity for one 115lb person. It was also low on salt, but fine in every other way.
