I have been looking across the Internet to see if these two Thai dishes (Pad See Lew and Pad See Ew) are the same. I believe that they are and that they are just spelled different in different regions (possibly). But I’m not sure so I thought I’d ask for some seasoned advice.

Pad See Ew is sometimes spelled Pad Siew, Pad Siu or Phat Si-Io.

    Might still be a typo on the menu ;-) happens all the time.

    I think that's the question @Johannes_B.

    Maybe it’s named after a guy named Lew who works at the restaurant.

    Well, since the dish is actually spelled ผัดซีอิ๊ว, transliterations can be fairly creative.

There is no Pad See Lew. Pad See Ew means to fry with soy sauce. In Thailand this menu is typically cook with flat rice noodle, fry with kale, egg and soy sauce.

I agree that Pad See Lew is a typo error. When I type into google in redirects me to Pad See Ew.

  • I don’t think it is a typo. I updated the OP because I have since found other spellings of this dish. I do believe this is all the same dish that is being discussed here. Thx.

These are both the same dish and can go by various spellings as noted in the OP.
