I used to regularly go to an awesome ~~Vietnamese~~ Thai food cart in a big U.S. city. The first time I ordered drunken noodles, I made the mistake of saying yes when he asked if I wanted it spicy. It took me 45 minutes and a shitload of water to get through it. But the flavor under the spice was excellent, so I wanted to try it again.
The next time I went, I ordered it again but asked for "white guy spicy." The old dude laughed and made one of the best drunken noodle dishes I've ever had, with the perfect spice level for me.
i didn't know what drunken noodles are so i looked it up. but it says it's a thai dish?
Yup, it's called Pad Kee Mao in Thai. Vietnam isn't known for its spicy food (there's a lot of French influence to their cuisine), whereas Thailand very much is the home of hot food.

Sounds like I made a dumb dumb and it was actually a Thai food cart, not Vietnamese. It's been over 10 years since I went there, so I think I just cited the wrong country of origin for it.
They had Pad Kee Mao on the menu too, and their drunken noodles were basically the same recipe, just with fettuccine-like noodles instead of the wide egg noodles.
