Pad See Ew in Winnipeg
Pad See Ew, listed as Pad Siew on our menu, is the savoury cousin of Pad Thai: wide, chewy rice noodles stir-fried in dark and light soy with egg, garlic and Chinese broccoli until the edges caramelize. A Google Local Guide named it one of the two dishes to recommend at Shaba Thai. Choose your protein and dig in.
About Our Pad See Ew
Pad see ew means fried with soy sauce, and that is the heart of the dish. Fresh, flat rice noodles are tossed over very high heat so they pick up a smoky wok flavour, while sweet dark soy gives them a glossy, mahogany colour. Egg and crisp Chinese broccoli finish the plate.
At Shaba Thai Cuisine, Pad See Ew is part of the Popular Items section of the menu and a go-to for guests who want a comforting, less sweet noodle dish. Portions are generous, and it is one of the best takeout choices on our menu because the noodles hold up beautifully on the ride home.
What Makes Our Pad See Ew Special
We cook each order in a single hot wok so the noodles get real char rather than steaming. It is mild by default, but chili flakes or a spicier version are available on request. A tofu and vegetable version keeps it vegetarian, and it can be prepared vegan without egg.
Pairs Well With
Try Pad See Ew alongside a bowl of Tom Kha soup, the combination our reviewer recommended, or share it with Pad Talay for a spicy contrast. Vegetable spring rolls make a great starter.

“This is the best Thai food I’ve had in Winnipeg! The portions are so big & the flavours are so so good! We had the crab rangoons, green curry, coconut rice, & the pad Thai. The service was amazing and the lady that runs it is the kindest woman ever, such a great experience. Definitely coming back!!”
