The food here was excellent and the place was clean and well ordered despite it being a restaurant next to a beer store and in the middle of a major university.
This place is open super late to serve the drunk college students and I'm glad they are because after 10pm finding a place for a sit down dinner is a challenge.
The food we got was excellent and was brought to our table in quick order. Our server did forgot a few things we ordered which disappointed the family members whose stuff they forgot but we had ordered enough for them to feel full as well. When we told the server she had forgotten a few things she didn't seem to care and just came back with our bill.
I think during the day or when Pitt students are not around the experience would have been better, it's clearly also geared towards takeout as there were a ton of people coming in and out to pick up orders so the server was probably annoyed we were sit in guests.
I'm still giving this place a 5 because the food was excellent but the service gets a 1 star due to the server.
If your looking for takeout this place would be perfect because of their speed.
One thing to note is there is basically zero parking after 7pm because all the streets become permit only at that time.
ANOTHER FOODIE’S FIND for A SUPERB THAI in Pittsburgh, a town littered with dismal so-called Thai eateries. This establishment has a good menu, several entrees look a concoction of a creative chef.
There are appetizers that deceptively look like lifted from Americanized Chinese-style food, BUT their flavors are classic Thai, mildly sweet spiced with tangy, slightly sweet dipping sauces. I refer to the Crispy Chicken Eggrolls, generously packed with well seasoned ground chicken; and the Thai Steam Dumpling served with sprinkling of scallions on a fresh lettuce leaves.
Entrees recommended as of October 2022:
1. Crispy Duck Pad Thai: classic pad Thai with boneless duck breast and fresh bean shoots and ground peanuts. No sauce needed with the noodles oozing with sauce they were made in.
2. Eggplant Basil with tofu, exquisitely vegetarian with mild brown sauce. This is not like the sugar-sweetened one prepared by other places. Sweetness to the taste is the natural goodness of fresh aubergine and veggies.
3. Duck Curry, exquisitely Thai in mild curry with veggies. Simply delicious!
I ordered them heat level 4, which lifts up the flavors of goodness.
Oh, don’t forget to use the spoon instead of the fork or chopsticks. Spooning with rice sups up all the goodness in the sauces.
Very highly recommended.
Doesn't look like much as you come in, but truly the food was phenomenal. The food came quite quickly and came piping hot. The veggies were slightly on the more raw side and could have been left to cook for a little bit more! The fried rice was truly delectable, well seasoned and I highly recommend.
As for the panang curry, I find myself somewhat an expert when it comes to this dish. I've had this dish at every Thai restaurant I've ever been (one every week for the past 10-12 years of my life) and in Thailand itself. This panang curry was truly really great, portion size was good and the veggies were really good complements to the tofu. The tofu felt a little over cooked (it was chewier than normal). Can easily feed two-three people. **Warning, they top this dish with peanuts
Pad Kee Mao is a great substitute for aversive rice eaters. Well cooked and well seasoned noodles!
Dinging a point only because the interior was dirty, music was really loud and hard to talk over, and service was a little less than hospitable!
Hospitality: 4/5
Food Quality: 5/5
Food Quantity: 5/5
Ambiance: 3/5
Overall, was very happy to dine here and I'll be back!
