    Red curry Crab Rangoon
    Dana B.

    Nice quaint vibes on east Carson street if you're looking for nice warm comfort for this is the place to go.. the red curry was alil too sweet for my liking with a level 5 spice but it was good. 7/10 Crab Rangoon 10/10 always can never go wrong. The Service was nice and efficient

    Green curry
    Santana L.

    The place was small & cute! Our table was a bit shaky & they didn't seem to be able to do much, but other than that the ambiance was nice! The food was excellent, we loved the appetizers & our entrees! The service was a bit slow. They didn't seem super busy, it was a Friday evening, but it just seemed like everything was slower than expected. I would definitely go again & plan to try the south side one!

    We went to this place on a Friday night. We showed up at the time of our reservation and were greeted and seated immediately. We chose to seat in the patio which was nice cozy and well decorated. The Thai ambiance was very nice. They looked a little bit short staffed but the staff worked very hard to serve everyone in a timely manner. We ordered a bunch of appetizers and main dishes. They were all delicious. We enjoyed our visit.

    The old fashioned was strong, the food was awesome, the staff was suuuper busy, and the bartender is my next baby daddy! GREAT experience!

    A friend suggested this restaurant for a group gathering. I'm allergic to seafood so I was immediately nervous about it. Fortunately for me and for my EpiPen, the server and kitchen were very easy to work with in helping me find items I could eat. We were greeted and seated immediately. The server was prompt and attentive. I'd actually give it 5 stars except for two things: 1. They didn't split the bill for 7 of us and that rule wasn't stated anywhere. 2. They close for an hour between their lunch and dinner but they didn't tell us upon sitting or at any point during our meal. Instead, they turned off the music and stared at us until one of us thought to check online about the hours. I likely won't return because I'm still nervous about cross contamination in a place like this seafood-heavy restaurant but it was a pretty good experience.

    Pad Thai w roasted duck & Pad Thai with chicken
    Lauren W.

    Very cute decor with blue and white floral wallpaper throughout. Plants and flowers on the tables. Service was good! Seems like they take a lot of reservations, because we did not have any and we may have been the only ones without. They were able to accommodate my husband's shellfish allergy. We both got Pad Thai - mine roasted duck, and his was chicken. The duck was so crispy and delicious! I got a 6/10 heat level, but next time will do 9 or 10. Very flavorful!

    Shrimp fried rice
    Stephanie W.

    Per a friend's recommendation, my husband and I had dinner at the Dancing Crab on a weekday evening. The restaurant was warm and inviting. We were seated immediately in a booth. This appears to be a family run business, as our order was taken by the owner. The service was attentive, easy going and really funny!!! Nice guy! We had jasmine tea while waiting for our crab rangoons. I got the shrimp fried rice level 5, the spice was tasty with a little heat on the back end. My husband got the panang shrimp level 7, the spice was robust and lasting, with sweetness to balance the flavor. The portions are generous and I took half my dinner home. I really looked forward to leftovers the next day.

    Food & presentation was amazing! Service was just as good. I've thought about the mango sticky rice every day since. Lol. Highly recommend.

    Pad See Ew Crab Rangoon
    Jenee S.

    Overall okay but better thai places in the area. Called for pickup, quick to order and ready fast. Order was correct and hot on arrival. The pad see ew was just meh. The noodles seemed overcooked and not a ton of flavor aside from the spice level 3. I also got chicken included in the price (14.99). Beef or pork was $2 more for some odd reason. I can see seafood but not other inexpensive meats. Crab rangoons had a weird taste. There was something off about the filing. My husband got the spicy basil fried rice and paid extra for beef. (16.99) Rice and veggies are so cheap, don't know why it was so expensive. For the prices and tastes, would rather go elsewhere

    Thee most amazing Thai food ever. I added my order below. I told my wife I will be ordering this again with or without her. Beautiful restaurant as well; I didn't dine in , but great atmosphere from what I did experience.

    Soicy Spicy basil fried rice

    Spicy basil fried rice 10/10; I get 5/10 spice level.The basil gives it great flavor, I'd recommend for any fried rice lovers

    Grilled Gulf Shrimp and Sea Scallop Gilled shrimps and scallop with green curry sauce, broccoi, zucchini, and basil.
    Deah B.

    I had the Grilled Gulf Shrimp and Sea Scallop. It has listed in the description grilled shrimps and scallop with green curry sauce, broccoi, zucchini, and basil. I did not think those were gulf scrimp. The description of the plate was minimal as were the scrimp and scallops. I didn't know it did not come with a noodle but a side of plain white rice. The dish was a soup, which was a surprise. The vegetables were too big and had to be held and nibbled on while using chopsticks. I would not get again. The service was very attentive. The ambience was warm.

    The best Thai food I ever had. Made sure to come back on my return to Pittsburgh. Food is a bit…read morepricey but the flavor is really good. Green curry with tofu. 100% hit the spot!!

    Seated via Phone Call (Dinner option only). Food allergy: Nuts…read more Food & Drink: - Mixed Drink(s): 4 / 5 "If I was a cow, I would tell all the other cows that this flower is toxic, so that I could keep it to myself." - My favorite distraction Presentation is everything when it comes to the drinks ordered at Nicky's and I absolutely love it. Not only do they look great, they taste great. It's always great to find a location that takes pride in their mixed drink selection. The only flag I have is if you order the Honey Bee Martini be prepared to feel like a bee is stinging you every time you take a sip. I enjoy spice, but even this had enough kick to make me savor it periodically. Disclaimer: Taste the flower at your own risk. Remember the saying, "Curiosity killed the cat". - Food: 4 / 5 Appetizer - When you think American cuisine, what do you picture? A hamburger? Hot dogs? An American Flag on the back of a Ford F-150 with a bald eagle in the driver seat? Even though all those can be true, I think of Crab Rangoon. Even as a non-crab person, I do enjoy popping one of these bad boys into my mouth after dipping it in the provided sauce. Nicky's uses a homemade pineapple sauce that adds just a slight tang on this small delight. Entrée - Bread wasn't the greatest creation of mankind. Actually, it was spice because that allowed Thai food to flourish. It has always been of my opinion that if you know how to use spices, then you can make any dish pop. We had the Pad Phet and Basil. Both dishes were absolutely flavorful and made each bite as enjoyable as the last. If you get a box, make sure to get two and a paper bag for reinforcement because if you have sauce left, you are going to want to pour that over your leftovers. Dessert - The sticky rice mango is definitely an interesting dish, but it had something in it that tasted like half and half and ruined any flavor that the mangoes held. The ice cream saved that sweet taste, but the sticky rice that lay below reminded me of a Rice Krispie treat that you found in a corner of your kitchen that was there for months and a friend dared you to take a bite. Disclaimer: You cannot eat the banana leaf...don't ask how we know. - Service: 4.25 / 5 When dining with someone who has a food allergy, you always worry about cross-contamination. Luckily, at Nicky's, even without disclosure, we had no issues at the end of the night. However, as the restaurant gets busy, the service definitely becomes slower, but if you have a great companion you honestly don't notice it. Nicky's also does a great job of not rushing you out the door as soon as the dessert has been finished and it seems each server helps the other servers if it becomes really busy, which isn't a bad system. It's worth noting there are standard charges including a pre-calculated tip, which is fairly common for restaurants of this style. - Vibe: 5 / 5 Nicky's is the exact reason why I started doing food reviews. By that, I mean I wanted to find interesting restaurants where you could sit down with other people, have a great conversation, enjoy some good food and just relax in the unique ambiance. - Overall: 4.25 / 5 My momma always said, "Thai food is a great indicator for a vibe check" and for my own personal add-on, "Great Thai food is how memories are made". If you are ever on the fence about certain people in your life, take them to Nicky's. By the end of the meal, you'll know where they stand. Recommend? Why is this even a question? Of course!

We had a horrible culinary experience the past couple of days driving through West Virginia, Ohio, and western New York. Pittsburgh was our last stop before heading home and Kiin Lao and Thai Eatery made up for all of the culinary disappointment this weekend. Let's talk about the ambiance first. Everything about this restaurant was quite beautiful. When I say beautiful, I don't mean it in an elegant way, but an artsy street vibe way. It is hip, clean, and we'll put together. You can tell a lot of love went into the decorations and into every piece of art on its walls. The service was pretty good. The server herself was attentive when needed and left us alone when needed. The food was AWESOME. We got the papaya combo with the Thum Mak Houng option, curry puffs, grilled pork shoulder with sticky rice, and Pad Gra Prow Street Style. The papaya was "lao-style" made with fermented shrimp paste. If you love deep umami flavors, this is it for you. The papaya salad was pungent and sour and savory spicy and just so satisfying. We asked for a 6/10 spiciness and they came with the heat. The chicken skewers that came with it was flavorful too. A little bit of char on the chicken would've brought it over the top. The curry puffs were so comforting and had that south Asian flavor profile that was very welcomed. The curry and spice blend did not overwhelm the potatoes. Instead it enhanced the earthy potato flavors in the best way possible. The menu said that it came with a cucumber sauce but I don't think we got that. What we got was a more like a honey sauce. The sauce was good in itself but didn't pair well with the puffs. The grilled pork shoulder was delectable. The meat was tender and it was seasoned perfectly. Again, more char on the meat would've brought it to a new level. The only gripe I have with this order was the sticky rice. The amount of sticky rice you get with it was so small I thought it was a joke initially. Nope, it was not! I thought the Pad Gra Prow Street Style was OKAY. I would've made it a little saucier. Despite this, my significant other absolutely LOVED it. Pad Gra Prow was my significant other's favorite dish when she lived overseas. She said that this was the best Pad Gra Prow she has had on this side of the world. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. We would definitely come by again when we are back this way.

    What a great lunch we had at Kiin Lao on this past Saturday. It's a relatively smaller place that's…read moretucked away on the upper floor of a building in shadyside. Overall, the food and service was good. We had red curry, massaman curry, and pad kee mao. I think the red curry was pretty good. We order spice level 7 and probably could have gotten the 8. I'd go for 8 if I ever visit them again. Yeah, it was just a good and decent meal with good service and all. Not very crowded, so I urge people to go if you are in the area.
