    My server was so attentive and adorable. Soups were fantastic. I was underwhelmed by my koa soy tho. Usually it's my favorite curry, but this felt heavy on tomato and light on curry. I got a spice Level 3, and I wonder if it was spicier if it'd be better. I would go back, but I would try something different next time.

    Chicken Pad Thai

    Stopped for lunch at the Liberty Ave location near Mt. Lebo and I would highly recommend. Amazing and beautiful presentation and so filled with flavor. some of the best Pad Thai I've ever had.

    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

    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

    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.

    Very nice quiet atmosphere inside for a Saturday night , they have a nice little bar if u can get a seat ,,, both of or food dishes were fantastic, we couldn't stop saying how good it was ! Missing in pictures was a crab ragoon and that was very good also

    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

I am also not usually a dessert person, but this visit, I made an exception. The mango coconut ice cream with the sticky rice was a very special treat, particularly on this hot and muggy day. I don't even normally love mango, but yesterday I did. Just perfect, can't ask for more. Five stars.

They served my friend chicken and insisted that it was pork! He doesn't eat chicken!! Story time!! We were in town for the Marathon weekend and tried to make a last minute resy. We got seated outside which was fine cuz we understand it was last minute). It was 40s outside and no heater in place... People seemed to come here for special events (we saw many grad parties or birthdays and date nights). We ordered noodles and curries. Huge portions that could serve 2 people per entree (or 1 very hungry runner per entree, which was the case for us). The food was tasty HOWEVER WE WERE GASLIT! My friend ordered his dish with pork and after a bite or two he realized it was chicken. We asked the waitress to send it back and she insisted it was pork (by this photo you can tell the top right dish's protein is the same as the chicken in the 2 curries...) and insisted that we were confused with curt demeanor... Service wise, we had multiple different waiters/ waitresses, one person seating us, another taking our order, another delivering the food, another filling the water, so it was very hard to communicate our concerns because it was one big telephone game. We didn't like the service, the outdoors dining area was cute and NOISY so don't plan on having conversations there. Parking was easy enough there were multiple garages nearby. Overall tasty food but we got the ick after being gaslit so probably won't come back.

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.

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.
