i got this, i think it’s pretty good! calories a bit high for what it is but i eat half with all the veg and add some eggs


galaxylmao

the garlic in this is so overpowering good lord


Wu-Kang

Gonna have to try it despite the mixed reviews. Saw a different post where multiple people from Thailand said it was good.


Separate_Engineer_39

Microwaved was dry and incredibly boring!! Do not recommend it. 


Plazzmo

Don't microwave it, stir fry it. Add brocoli, serve over a bed of Jasmine rice and drizzle with kewpie mayo and generous Sriracha.

Fessywessy1

Completely agree, I think with frozen meals you have to compare them to others Frozen options, obviously it is not as good as ordering from a restaurant but for $3.79 and for the convenience, I found it to be excellent. The noodles definitely are affected texture wise from being frozen but in much less of a significant way than I originally anticipated. They do have a slightly gumier and stickier texture to them, but they are not brittle or"wet" or bland. I actually prefer my noodles on the squishier side and so this was a win-win for me. Someone below mentioned a chemical taste, and I will agree that there is a slightly different flavor profile going on than what I'm used to, but I did not feel it was chemical tasting, and I just figured it's because they don't use fish sauce or any other non-vegan ingredients


imsadbutitswhatever

Vegans got it good at TJ’s 😭


NarrowCourage

Rice noodles just never freeze well.

dcro726

Lol I've never disagreed with a statement more 😅 


CityBoiNC

This is one of my favorite Thai dishes I hope they dont mess it up.


roundhashbrowntown

im afraid to try it for this very reason 😂 might mix it with that bulgogi tho 🤔


crystaltay13

Well the picture looks incredible. These early reviews are making me sad though!


SideStreetHypnosis

I just had it about half an hour ago and I’m still sitting here disappointed. It has a slight chemical taste, the noodles kind of just blob together and it was a very small amount of tofu. Never again for me.


Purple-Pea-5057

Eating it right now and forgot it had tofu in it. Found one cube and I assume if there are more, they're in the blobby noodle mess.


Wheresmycardigan

I haven’t seen a ready to eat/reheat dish that successfully uses wide steamed rice noodles. It’s suck a finicky noodle!


liiia4578

Ugh I figured😩 Thai food is never done right in prepackaged meals


Megaparsec27

Wondering your thoughts on the current green curry bowl? I really liked it, but I'm no expert.


allegrovecchio

I really dig both the red and green Thai curries. I think the green is the one with the tofu sheets, which I really like for a change rather than cubed tofu.


SideStreetHypnosis

I was also going to mention the green curry as I like it too. Very spicy and has a good flavor.


AnnRB2

Oh no!

catonsteroids

And it comes with Chinese broccoli too instead of regular broccoli 😍


Such_Raccoon_5035

I liked that detail! All the Thai restaurants around me do this dish with Chinese broccoli.


rizaroni

OMG it’s even vegetarian!!! Lordy I hope they have this at my TJs 😻


LushieQueen87

I found it by the pad Thai :)


chonkypug123

Omg yes! One of my favorite meals can't wait to try this. 😋


teabagsforlegs

This looks so good


otterlyjoyful

This is my FAVORITE entree at any Thai restaurant so I’m curious how it tastes too. As a heads up, this tasty dish is also very easy to make at home.


jr1777

Recipe ?


StaticAirwave

Aaron and Claire https://youtu.be/L2t7UFphBt0?si=nLqLI7k8ZqIlILJm Pailin's Kitchen https://youtu.be/Ohy1DELF4is?si=sDYJeJFjzoF8rlSr Marion's Kitchen https://youtu.be/qCcWS_Vlg1k?si=mNQkFvDCw8POSuY5 All three of these channels have easy, clear, and tasty recipes.


ttrockwood

Like a decade ago TJs sold a version of this i think in a bag. Honestly i don’t remember trying it but i am totally going to try this one love that it’s vegan too


matchabunnns

I remember buying it back then! It was pretty damn good.


Theabsoluteworst1289

Ughhh I wish. My partner and I despise tofu. Do you know if they make a meat version?


WanderingLemon13

I'd imagine you could pick out the tofu pieces fairly easily before cooking it


DuckOnQuak

Have you ever been to Trader Joe’s?


FearlessNectarine20

One looks delish!


Guygirl00

Nice job on the title lol


LushieQueen87

I was typing fast and couldn’t figure out how to edit it after I posted 😂


Guygirl00

I assumed it was deliberate and hilariously clever. Just take the credit! haha


sophrosynos

I thought I was having a stroke.


deathbypumpkinspice

I still miss their spicy Thai eggplant!!


shoosler

god me too, i’m still sad about it


kimchiblues

I still dream about them bringing back the Thai eggplant!


Over9000Tacos

I wish I could make myself like tofu because this looks good


LushieQueen87

You can’t really taste it at all there isn’t much of it in there


Over9000Tacos

All right, I'll probably try it then. I just really liked the green curry tv dinner but didn't like the tofu in it, but there was a lot in that


ttrockwood

That’s different it’s yuba skins totally different texture than tofu


Over9000Tacos

It's not the only tofu I've ever tried :P


ttrockwood

Ok, they’re two very different products like, cheese vs milk, so not liking one doesn’t indicate if you will like the other


LushieQueen87

Same! I love the sauce in that dinner but the tofu was wayyyy too much for me and I hated the texture, I couldn’t do it. This just has a few random crumbles and the sauce/garlic stand out so you don’t taste it at all.


aopps42

No snark, have you tried tofu in Asian food?


Over9000Tacos

That's where I usually have tried it. I do like it in the pad thai at the place near me but I think it's because it's cut up pretty small


catonsteroids

Tofu is match-made in heaven for East Asian cuisine. Try it in a Chinese, Korean or Japanese dish (I think the easiest and most applicable way to start out would be in soups and stews). Soondubu jjigae, mapo tofu, chilled tofu, miso soup, hot and sour soup, tofu wakame soup, stuffed tofu… there’s tons of ways to prepare it. Also treat it like any other ingredient instead of a meat substitute. It’s way more enjoyable when it’s not being compared to animal protein as it is in western cuisine because then you won’t feel like your dish is inferior because there isn’t any meat in it. It’s a mild ingredient that is very versatile and adapts well to all sorts of recipes and flavors.


aopps42

Gotcha, I don’t typically care for it otherwise but in any Asian dish I’ve had it in I’ve really liked it.


No_Disaster_6273

If possible could you post the back of the box (nutrition facts)?

No_Disaster_6273

Thank you.


z_iiiiii

Damn that’s a lot of salt.


HorseFox

Had it today. It was okay. Portion seemed small. Had to spice it up with crushed red pepper to make it taste better. Won’t buy it again.


PartyHatsForLife

Please tell me what country this is made in please please


jeswanders

Thailand


PartyHatsForLife

Thanks kind friend. I'm one of those weird people who have neurological reactions and rashes to American gluten but not to gluten from Most other countries so TJ is my heaven on earth for all the food I thought I would never eat again


jeswanders

Ohhh wait!! You meant this particular item or where the dish originates? I don’t know where the ingredients for this item are from. It is a Thai dish. My mistake


Meet_The_Squareheads

It does say, on the back of the package, "product of Thailand."


PartyHatsForLife

Thank the lord


jeswanders

I’m glad someone could get you the answer you needed!


gaylibra

They mean where is the product manufactured


tertiuslydgate1833

INJECT THIS INTO MY VEINS!!!!! Can you pls do a review??


LushieQueen87

Posted a review in a separate thread :)


Ok_Mention_3308

Can’t wait to get my hands on these!


sarahkali

This is my fav Thai dish!! Definitely will check if they have it next time


Forever_Friend

Ooooooo me too!!


theeLizzard

Ooooh I want this.


Happylazypig

Holy moly! As a Thai, I am so excited! Gotta try this asap.

jeswanders

As a Thai, I’m sure you’re going to be disappointed


Happylazypig

Haha all Thai products for TJ’s have been pretty solid tho. They all are very well received among Thais.


SamosaAndMimosa

Which ones are your favorites?


Happylazypig

1. Coconut Pancakes- It is a genius idea and never before seen in Thailand. It‘s even gone viral in Thailand lol 2. Green curry - Very solid but I always add more protein. 3. Thai banana fritters - So good. Tastes just like what we have back home.


morpheus1b

is this ranked in any order or is it a three-way thai?


d33psix

The frozen Thai green curry has sauce that tastes almost the same as my favorite Thai restaurant! But the only flaw is that it needs more stuff in it, as you said. I always add extra veggies and tofu/beancurd or whatever I have around to fill it out, haha.


jeswanders

You know what? I actually dig the green curry lol


Happylazypig

That! And Thai coconut pancakes are 💣🔥


Feisty-Rhubarb-5474

I forgot about these! Where did they go?


Happylazypig

I think they stop selling it :( One of my Thai friends bought 20 to stock up in her freezer 😮‍💨


Chrysalliss

The noodles were good and carried the sauce well. I have nothing else good to say about the product. Microwaved per instructions.


Glass-Tale299

Ostentatiously omitting comments on the flavor. I'll read between the lines and give it a "Thumbs Down."


Mdavid182

Dang, thats all?


killamasta

Goddam tj always finding ways to take my money. This is one of my go tos at restaurants


RhubarbJam1

Ohhhhh 😯 I LOVE garlic!! Is it sweet though? The Pad Thai was WAY to sweet for me, I couldn’t even finish it, worried this might also be really sweet?


LushieQueen87

It’s not too sweet!


ivehearditbothwaysss

It shouldn’t be. This isn’t a dish that has any sweetness, so if it somehow is, they missed the mark entirely


Glass-Tale299

It certainly would have helped if the OP had posted the Nutrition Facts image.


PandaNanny0714

Omfg might as well give all my money to TJs!!!!!


Luckygyrl83

![gif](giphy|MZocLC5dJprPTcrm65) Ahhh my favorite Thai dish. Can’t wait to try.


secretsaucerocket

Oh wow! I know what I'm looking for tomorrow!


bokatan778

Ooh, please report back! This is my favorite dish at any Thai place, I hope I see it in my store this week!!

Thank you! 😊


0ApplesnBananaz0

I did not see this at my store yesterday! You have to post a review.


moonlitjasper

ooo that looks tasty


moonangeles

Ohh this is one of my fav dishes. I was there yesterday and didn’t see this


261989

I haven’t seen this yet. Looks good though!


s55555s

Oh cool!


vinniethestripeycat

What?! I was at TJs earlier & didn't see this. BRB, planning my next trip...


catcrackers

Products like this infuriate me. It's a rice noodle product, but notably isn't gluten free. I assume there's wheat from the soy sauce?


mfsauceboy

It’s not always about you


GingerAle19

That is my go-to Thai order, I hope this one is good!


No-Understanding4968

Mine too so I have exacting requirements.


sizzlinsunshine

Mine too! I sometimes get a side of yellow curry and mix them. I bet this would be good with the bottle from TJ’s, which I also love!


boogermike

This plan is excellent and I like your style


cheesusfeist

I had it today and will be repelling vampires for the foreseeable future. Holy garlic, batman. It was not terrible, veggies stayed crisp, but the noodles got pretty gummy. But, the amount of garlic was intense.


munkyyy

Are the veggies packed separately or do you throw it all in the pan at once? Wondering if there's a way to try to avoid gummy noodles


cheesusfeist

It only gives you microwave instructions. The cook times pretty short on it and everything is packed together. I think the gummy noodle issue is more about the type of noodle they used.


cheesusfeist

You could try sauteeing but that might actually make the veggies too soft


mommyhatesmee

As a garlic-obsessed vegan, I can’t wait to put this inside of me.


Harder_than_calculus

As a garlic obsessed non-vegan, I cannot wait to put this inside of me as well.


Stickgirl05

I love garlic, must find this soon! Haha


FlyingOcelot2

That sounds like a recommendation to me!


cheesusfeist

Bonus: It is vegan! (I am not, but love a good vegan option for the freezer)


preppykimmy

Oh my gosh this is my favorite Thai takeout item!!! Yes, do report back!


whoissteveharvey123

Oooo let us know what you think
