The best Thai noodles I’ve ever gotten was in some hole-in-the-wall place called Thai Kitchen 2 or something. Got my usual 4/10 spice level (at least, what I usually get at my local place)on some Pad See Ew and I was in physical pain the whole time, but it was goddamn delicious.
The Thai and Korean “spicy” levels are NOT standardized in any way whatsoever.
And you must learn this on your own.
At the restaurants, just make sure they laugh at you a little when you order. Then you know it’s the good shit.

The likelihood of my eating the spiciest thing I can find for dinner has risen to 100%.
