Review: Snapdragon Chicken Pad Thai is okay but not special (sameday.costco.com)

I warmed it on the stovetop (not microwave) and found it lacking, but acceptable.

After adding:

tamarind paste,
onions,
bell peppers,
a thai hot pepper,

and then topping with:

cilantro,
fresh lime, and
some chopped up roasted peanuts,

... the additions (standard ingredients) made it much better.

Still, it was missing the contrast of bean sprouts. It isn;t the same without them and if I'd had bean sprouts, I would have added, but at that point I might have opted to just make my own pad thai -- which would have tasted better for almost the same amount of cook/prep time.

I like the Snapdragon Pho, although I can't stand the chili oil they put in it. Instead, I use a spoon of Chili Crisp and/or throw some kimchi in it after the noodles are cooked. It's not really pho, but it is really good for how easy it is to prepare!
