There’s nothing like a bowl of pad thai to warm up on a chilly fall day (and it’s not too bad during the summer, either). And we’re on a mission to help you find a tasty, savory noodle dish this year.

The Star’s search for the best pad thai in the Kansas City area resulted in dozens of submissions and more than 1,000 votes in the first round. Now we need to find a winner.

The four finalists are concentrated in Kansas City and Johnson County, and have been serving the metro area for several years. They include Lulu’s Thai Noodle Shop, Hot Basil Thai Cuisine, Thai Place and Waldo Thai.

You can cast your vote in the poll below through Sunday, Aug. 31. The winner will be announced in September with a Star story on the restaurant and its dish.
