    Fresh Spring Roll
    Jay D.

    Our family has quickly fallen in love with this place and their great food. My only caution would be watch your spice level. Our 2's and 3's are not their's! Phew! Sometimes, a bit spicy, just be careful what you choose. But--Delicious! Make sure to get a Thai tea, that always lowers the heat! Our favorite go-to's are their spring rolls for appetizers, and the fresh spring rolls. The crab rangoons were good, too. For main things--one of the best Pad See Ew ever, and great curries. So far, I have had the Green, Pumpkin, and Mussaman. We absolutely LOVED their fried rice! Service wise, we've had mixed service, but always "competent". It's just some have been more friendly than others. Food wise, though, we can't wait to try new things each time we go!

    Green tea

    This is definitely the best Thai experience I've had in the Pittsburgh area. The dining room looks very clean, and the server was very friendly. They made a point that there will be a wait in spite of there only being two customers in the dining room because of all of the online take-out orders. In actuality it was a good thing because it gave us time to actually enjoy our tea and appetizer before the main course. The food was very good and tasted fresh and light. I'm looking forward to our next visit.

    Pad Thai with chicken
    Audrey G.

    So you still need lunch even when visiting a cemetery, right? This Thai place is right across the street from the memorial gardens where we were 'visiting' family, and it was a terrific find. It's a small, family run place and the dishes we had were excellent. I had pad Thai with chicken and it was so well spiced and had a rich flavor. I am not much of a spice person, so, I asked for spice at number 2 on a scale of 1 - 10. It was perfect. DH had a different dish at heat 5 and he loved it. I would tell you the name of it if I remembered. One of our kids got the soup with noodles and tofu and vegetables and it was pronounced delicious. We all enjoyed sharing in her large bowl filled with goodies. The other kid had another pad Thai and although spicier than I'd like, she loved it. If you haven't tried this place you should. We would definitely come back next time we're in the area.

    Spring rolls

    Everything is good: Service: owner works hard for the money. Care and love is poured into each dish. I have visited countless times, more than I can count with both hands. Cannot go wrong any dish: Pad Thai w tofu - only tofu I have had that actually tastes like it should! Seafood Curry - great with a bowl of rice. Spring rolls - crispy and fresh fried Grilled Salmon - how do they get it nice and flakey like that each time? All in all, it is a saved location of mine. It is a plus they open to 9 pm or 9:30 pm depending on the day.

    Coconut bubble tea

    What an awesome, hidden gem! Small, family ran restaurant in a plaza. Two people cooking, one person waiting on tables, this was definitely not a place to come in a hurry but we didn't mind. I will say there were a ton of takeout orders while we were there, seems like a great spot for pick-up. The food itself was amazing, it came out hot with just the right amount of spice. I could tell they used quality ingredients for their dishes, and we were happy with the price and portion size.

    Pad Thai with tofu
    Brad H.

    Some of the best Thai I have had recently. Everything from the service to the food here was top notch. I went with the tofu pad Thai, spice level 4. 5 is their top spice level. I thought the 4 was perfect. Definitely spicy, but not so much that you couldn't em taste the great flavors. The tofu was cooked perfectly, which can really make or break a dish. Everything was so good, that I had to force myself to stop eating with how big the portions are. My wife ordered the drunken noodles and really liked hers as well. Would highly recommend!

    Thai iced tea with boba.
    Angie C.

    After hearing several of my fellow Pittsburgh foodies rave about this spot, I decided to treat myself for lunch today! This relatively new restaurant in Pleasant Hills, located in the Curry Hollow Shopping Center anchored by Michael's, Duffy's and Levin, is outstanding. They have online ordering that for some reason wasn't allowing me to check out today when I tried, but I was able to see the menu there, and called in my order of Massaman curry with tofu, onions, carrots, potatoes and peanuts. For an $8.95 lunch special you also get soup, salad or two Thai baby spring rolls with pineapple sauce, the latter of which I chose and you can peep in the background of my meal. The owner was just lovely, providing recommendations and, when they were out of a couple of kinds of bubble tea, suggested they could make a Thai iced tea with boba which was heavenly. That led to us discussing Covid-related supply shortages and she mentioned that they are looking to hire cooks and servers, if you know anyone in the area looking for a job! I'm not sure if they are currently doing takeout only; no one was seated inside the restaurant while I was there. But the tables did look to be set up for indoor dining. The interior is surprisingly nice for a strip mall restaurant location; they have really transformed the place and it has a calm, clean relaxing vibe where I would really enjoy having a meal. When I posted about this spot on Instagram, someone told me that the owners are a lovely couple who used to work at Papaya in Robinson and that Chao Phraya is their dream of owning a Thai restaurant. They have worked extremely hard to accomplish this, and she's been driving all the way from Moon to support them. I notice that of my fellow Yelpers reviewed this spot with a note that the taste reminds them of their hometown in Thailand. I just know what I like and I thought this was all absolutely delicious, but I can't think of a better endorsement than that. It's also super vegetarian friendly. I will be back often!

    Yellow curry with chicken
    Tabitha C.

    So, I just found out about this restaurant while browsing yelp for a thai place in the south hills near me which has been limited. I was so pleasantly surprised to find this one 10 mins from me! Apparently it's pretty new. It is in a shopping center right where DD is on Lebanon Church Rd near West Mifflin shops, convenient after a gym session! Normally I wouldn't judge a place based on take out which is rule number one in reviewing (I feel other than honesty). However, this was delicious and I am picky with Thai food so I can only imagine how much better it tastes dining in. I ordered pickup right from yelp and was ready in 15 mins. The atmosphere was really welcoming and relaxed that I would rather have eaten in. I got spiciness of 3/5 which was just right! The only thing I was confused of is the website has more curry varieties than order menu lets you choose from such as the pineapple curry or mango which were not there however yellow curry has pineapple anyway. I'll be back plenty times! Also great prices! Only $12 for huge portion.

    Friends in the area were raving about this restaurant, so we had to give it a try! I will say the crab Rangoons were the best I've ever had!! They were paired with a pineapple sauce (which I've never had before!). It was fabulous!!! Also had the dumplings which were also good. My husband went out on a limb and tried the pho soup and unfortunately wasn't a fan. He has never had this anywhere before so maybe he just is not into this type of soup? I had the crab fried rice. It was delicious! Occasionally i would get a small piece of shell in with the dish, so please watch out for that if you order this dish. The restaurant was very clean, the staff was friendly. Would try it again!

    Green curry noodle soup, side white rice
    Lauren B.

    WOW this place has good food. I ordered the green curry noodle soup and added shrimp: rice noodle, shrimp, bamboo, bell pepper, carrots, baby corn, eggplant, and basil leaves in coconut milk and green curry paste. I got spice level 3 out of 5. Amazing. All of the flavors were incredible. The green curry paste and coconut milk was so rich and aromatic. The eggplant was smooth and velvety. Our server was extremely quick and kind.

    Thank you!! I love Thai food and when I seen that this was near me I knew that I had to try it out. First of all, they have a large menu with many options to try. My favorite Thai food is in downtown Pittsburgh, too far to travel to pickup food and bring home. This place wow.. the food was ready on time, the food was amazing. It's definitely the BEST Thai food that I've ever had. My wife agreed her pad Thai was delicious. They provide a 1-5 on how spicy your food will be. I chose a 3 and it wasn't bad or as spicy as I anticipated. I will go up to a 4 next time. They provide you a large quantity of food, be prepared to have leftovers for the next day. I see us coming back several times per month.

    Drunken noodle with chicken- portion was larger but I ate half before the picture, too good to wait!
    Steph H.

    So happy we finally go to try this new Thai place near us. We usually have to drive downtown for our favorite Thai spot, but I think we found a new fave! First, everyone working was so nice and our food was ready quick and don't correctly. The menu has a lot of great options and the prices were fair for the portion size. I got two meals out of my entree. We had the spring rolls, pad Thai with tofu, and drunken noodles with chicken. The spring rolls were nice and crispy with a good veggie filling. My drunken noodles were AMAZING!! The texture of the noodles and sauce were perfect. I got a spice level 2 and I will say it was very spicy. Next time I will be sure to get a level 1, so just a heads up! Cannot wait to come back and try more menu items soon!

    I'm Thai and grew up eating very spicy food, including authentic som tam from Thai restaurants, so…read moreI'm very familiar with how Thai spice levels normally feel. This is actually the first time I've had such a strong physical reaction. Most traditional Thai restaurants use fresh Thai chilies when making papaya salad, not large amounts of ground chili powder, because chili powder creates a much harsher, burning heat on the stomach rather than the normal fresh chili heat. I ordered spice level 4 expecting something moderate, but it felt closer to what would be level 9-10 at many Thai restaurants. There was no warning that the spice level was based on chili powder rather than fresh chilies. After eating, I experienced severe stomach burning, dizziness, and almost fainted, which has never happened to me from Thai food before. Information for the chef (from someone Thai, hoping this helps): Fresh chilies and chili powder create different types of heat. Chili powder is made from dried chilies, which concentrates capsaicin (the compound that causes burning). It also often contains more crushed seeds and inner membranes, which hold the highest capsaicin levels. Because it is finely ground, it spreads more evenly and can coat the mouth and stomach, causing a deeper and harsher burning sensation compared to the sharper but cleaner heat from fresh chilies typically used in traditional som tam. I would strongly recommend that the restaurant clarify how their spice levels work and what type of chili they use so customers can make informed choices. Thai food can be spicy, but it shouldn't come as a surprise in a way that causes physical distress. As someone from Thailand, this was not the typical type of spice we associate with authentic som tam. My mom also own Papaya Salad restaurant in Thailand. I know how to make my own dish. This is not authentic and not a good Thai food. 4 5555

This is not a high-rent location on a gentrified main street, and many folks would drive right by based on appearances. It also wasn't very busy, and that's a shame, because Tewada is absolutely fantastic. We were met by two very down-to-earth ladies enjoying a smoke break out front, and we knew right away that they were going to take good care of us. Our server was a sweetheart and a real character...we love to meet people like her. The place is not big, but it's well-worn and very cozy, and also super festive with all of the cute Easter decorations. We started with an order of fried dumplings, and they were very tasty, presented with care, and were obviously homemade. My wife then ordered a boba tea that she really enjoyed. For entrees we both went with a curry dish. My wife ordered the red curry noodles with shrimp, and she was very happy. She is not big on spicey food and went with the lowest level of spice - she chose 3 on the (kind of odd) 3-10 scale. Although it did have a small kick to it, you should not be scared if you too don't like hot and spicy food. I picked the massaman curry with chicken at 7 on the spice scale. I can't say enough about how much I liked the dish...fantastic! And speaking as someone who does like spicy food, a 7 is about as much as I would recommend for the typical American pallet. It was HOT, but still flavorful and enjoyable. Is this place fancy? No. However, the food was authentic, homemade, and not something you'll find very often. We watched as several locals came in for take-out or just boba for the kids, and it was clear from the long conversations that this place is valued in the community. We left with a smile, talked about it all afternoon, and will definitely be back. A solid 5!

Ever…read moresince I ate at Tewada Thai, I have compared every other Thai restaurant to their excellence. So far, the food here was the most authentic and the most delicious I've had. The food came out hot and the server made me feel like I was in their home dining room. My favorite dishes were the drunken noodles with beef and tofu, spicy level 7/10 and Somtom (Papaya Salad). I also highly recommend the pumpkin custard, it melts in your mouth! We also ordered the crispy fried whole pompano with garlic in advance, it was out of this world delicious with the special Thai sauce on the side. Who would've thought there would be authentic and delicious Thai food in Butler, Pennsylvania?
