5 stars all around
I’m officially hooked on not only the convenience, but also the flavor. These aren’t overly expensive considering the shelf life, portability, convenience, and yummmm factor.#1 Be sure to follow the instructions for the amount of water to use and remove the dessicant pack that comes sealed inside. The various flavored meals all have different quantity of water required. Too much or too little will result in either soggy or not completely hydrated.#2 After I add hot water out of our instant hot tap which is plenty hot enough, I zip the bag, hold it along the zipped edge, then gently swish it back and forth left to right so the dry goods comes in contact with the hot water.#3 I cover the entire bag including the bottom, sitting upright, with several towels to hold the heat inside while it’s hydrating.#4 When you open it to stir and check the hydration, it’s not unusual for the meal to be fully hydrated by the time you unzip it to stir but be sure you follow the hydration time and don’t rush it. The cooler the water, the longer it will take which is why I cover mine while it’s hydrating, to keep it warm and prevent it from cooling too quickly.Paid Thai is one of our faves. It’s only a tad spicy and it’s got great flavor.We’ve also tried 5 other flavors and they’re all good.The one that seems to have the least flavor is the Adobe flavored which doesn’t seem salty enough and lacks robustness, but heck, if you’re starving after a day of being out and about, it’s a perfectly good meal even without all the salt some of the others contain.I’m sensitive to salt and a lot of foods taste too salty to me but not these. If you want more salt, you can always add it but I love that they don’t already come too salty. I haven’t had to add anything to any of these bags except the one I just mentioned.You have nothing to lose – try one and if you like it, go place another larger order like I did. I have a shelf full of Pad Thai and a couple other flavors we really like. They’re great time-savers since I work from home and tend to not want to leave for food.Price seems comparable to a carry out meal at a Thai restaurant.As for how filling they are, there’s enough in the package that by the time I’m done eating, I don’t feel like I still need to snack. I’m just a tad beyond feeling full, like I should have stopped eating 5 or 10 bites before I reach the end, but I have no issue polishing off the whole bag in one sitting.I’m going to be a long-time customer of this company and I’m really glad to have found them on social media. Never heard of them before I saw an ad for dehydrated meals. It was Brand X compared to this brand and one of the commenters said they tried both Brand X and this brand and said these were much better so that’s why I bought them here.

A Flavorful Adventure in a Bowl!
The Mountain House Pad Thai with Chicken is an absolute gem for anyone hitting the trails! I tried this dish during my last camping trip, and it was a delightful surprise.Preparation is a breeze—just add hot water and let it sit for a few minutes. The flavors really shine through, with a nice balance of savory chicken, crunchy peanuts, and tasty noodles. It felt like a gourmet meal in the great outdoors!With two servings, it’s perfect for sharing or for when you want a satisfying meal after a long day of hiking. Plus, being gluten-free means it accommodates a variety of dietary needs. If you’re seeking a delicious and convenient option for your next camping adventure, Mountain House Pad Thai with Chicken should definitely be on your list!

It’s pretty good
The only con for me is that it’s higher in carbs than I’d like. If you take this camping or hiking and you’re active, you’ll probably burn through those carbs.I ate half the pouch and saved the rest for later. You can reheat by putting the sealed pouch over a pot of boiling water for 10 – 12 minutes and steaming it or immersing the sealed pouch in a pot of boiling water for 10 minutes or so.Mountain House makes some of the best camping and emergency food out there. This is a good flavor. It also has a long shelf life.

Really enjoy Mountain House
Have been trying all of the Mountain house tastes over the past year. Putting together a WTF happened, emergency survival kit. The Pad Thai and the Curry thus far are my favorites. I also love the Sausage Bisquit, the Chicken and dumplings and Breakfast Skillet are personal favorites as well. All the meals thus far are really nice. The Creme Brulee and Chocolate desserts are killer good. You just have make sure you stir well with long handle spoon. I have been using 1/2 pack with a salad as I do not need all the calories at the moment and more than enough. So easy to prepare. It has been a lot of fun taste testing. Mountain house meals. Beats the other brands by far in taste and and a hefty 30 yr shelf life provides some security for me and my family should anything bizarre happen and we needed them. Quality has been consistent, even through the prep food shortages of the lockdowns. These guys don’t cut corners. I stuck a load in a food safe bucket with a handful of food safe moisture absorber packets and a gamma lid. I sometimes dig into them for everyday as they really do taste good, just be sure to stir when you add the boiling water and before you seal to hydrate. Sleep better at night knowing that me and family have good tasting food if something bad would unexpectedly happen and we needed it. Thanks MountainHouse.

This one os fantastic. It’s not just ‘an emergecy MRE’, this one is a real delicious meal.
This pad thai reminds me of a frozen PF Chang meal, yep, high quality and very delicious. Has a subtle sweetness perfectly mixed with a subtle spiciness and decent amount of chicken chunks. My wife eats gluten free and she was impressed. The rice noodles here are gooey enough to mimic a ‘real’ flour noodle and this meal has become a favorite. I got out some seasoning thinking I might need to amp it up but I didn’t, it’s great as-is. Will definitely keep stocked up on this one.

Great Tasting Camp Food!
I am a devout Mountain House Fan…I have tried, tasted and carry most of their offerings on many a camping trip. All are exceptional as to flavor and convenience including light weight carry…which if you backpack is a primary issue when packing provisions.The Pad Thai is my all time fav! This stuff is just plain good…I even buy more than i would use for a trip just so I can have at home. If at home, I add some soy sauce and pad thai sauce and I get an Asian dish that is on par with any restaurant offering!Highly Recommended!!
