I've tried both a lot, and they are pretty different. Pad Thai is sweeter and nutty with tamarind, peanuts, and lime. Pad See Ew is more savory, with a soy sauce base and usually has broccoli and egg. Both are great, but it really depends on what you're in the mood for!

Pad See Ew and Pad Thai are distinct dishes with unique flavors and ingredients. Pad See Ew features wide, flat rice noodles stir-fried with soy sauce, broccoli, and eggs, offering a savory and slightly sweet taste. Pad Thai, on the other hand, uses thinner rice noodles and is stir-fried with tamarind paste, fish sauce, peanuts, and often shrimp or chicken, resulting in a tangy, sweet, and slightly nutty flavor.
