Tried this spot for first time last night. It's a nice neighborhood restaurant with a cozy interior and fun atmosphere. Staff was friendly. We tried the crab rangoons, pumpkin, red, and massaman curries. Everything was delicious. Spiciness level 1-10. I got 5 which was fairly spicy. Had a good time. Recommended

First time trying this place... also first time trying Thai. It was AMAZING!!! I got the pineapple curry & tea. Everything was delicious and the employees were friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend. We got ours to go and had a picnic at the waterfront. Made for a wonderful evening! Thank you.

I frequently get takeout chicken pad thai and they never disappoint. I recommend getting a side of peanut sauce and pouring/mixing it into the noddles, it is amazing. They take their spicy level seriously, I consider myself pretty spice tolerant and 7/10 spicy is my limit to still enjoy my food and not be overwhelmed by spice! I want to try more items from the menu but love the pad thai too much!

About the Thai Restaurant: This Thai restaurant, located in Pittsburgh, undoubtedly stands as the best Thai restaurant in town. It's a truly local gem, albeit with no space to sit inside, reflecting its focus on takeaway or to-go orders. About the Food: During my visit, I had the pleasure of savoring some incredible dishes. The Thai fried rice was simply mind-blowing, bursting with flavors and leaving a lasting impression. The Khao Soi, a curry noodle entree featuring both pork and chicken,…

Solid Thai spot in Highland Park!! I've ordered takeout from here multiple times over the years, and my favorites are their lunch curry specials including their panaang, pumpkin, and pineapple curries. They consistently deliver on both flavor and quality with every meal. I usually order a spice level 1, which has a decent kick already. Highly recommend this shop if you're looking for takeout from a reliable Thai restaurant!
