Thai spot in Shockoe now going by Alex's Thai has one of my favorites.

Pad Thai in Mechanicsville is my go to spot for thai food

What oil do they use? I end up with diarrhea every time I eat there

The original Thai Diner on Broad St. Best Tom Yum in the 804.

What dishes do you order there? It's my favorite Thai place.

Well I am vegan and gluten-free so it's a limited amount of things but it's always been very oily

I think coconut milk can cause that reaction in some people. That's used in most curries in thai cooking.

Chadar Thai

So, rice noodles and tofu? Anything else?

No tofu or noodles. Only veggies

Allergic to coconut and peanut.

iThaiz off Lucks makes a mean Tom Yum. I like getting it as the "noodle soup" with Tom Yum broth and tofu. Is vegan.

Leek & Thistle, down in the Bottom, when they have it. Their take-home, netflix & warm-up menu is seasonally-driven because they buy from local farmers, so it changes. Pretty much anything they make is awesome though. They're having an open house menu tasting today, Thursday Oct 27. Worth checking out. https://www.leekthistle.com/
