Good stuff. Decided to ball out and get the kao soi with short rib. This was great. Beef was tender, sauce was thick and flavorful. Wish there was a little more noodle but that's just me being picky. Will definitely order again if I'm in the neighborhood. read more

The food was a bit expensive for what you get - especially compared to similar restaurants in the area. It was all very good except for the duck, which wasn't even close to warm. The spicy level was a little lower than we expected compared to other places, but that could have just been the cook we had that day. We got lucky with parking, but there's a lot nearby, so it's not really an issue if you don't find parking on the street easily. Service was decent, tho nothing special. I like what they did with the decor. Has someone not mentioned what restaurant it has been before, I wouldn't have even realized it. They did a great job remodeling and have some beautiful artwork on the walls. I love the way the booths are separated from each other, too. It's not very close to us, but if my folks (who love much closer to it) want to go there again, we would. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Best Thai in Pittsburgh! Great curry , pad Thai and they have koi soy....Chiang Mai specialty!

Food was incredible (I definitely recommend the sate chicken and pad Thai), service was great and beautiful inside

Really great Thai food! I finally stopped here for takeout the other night and was not disappointed. The inside of the restaurant is small, but has a really cool look to it. Plenty of spots at bars and other tables/booths. For my food I had the tofu pad thai, spice level 7. It was exactly what I was looking for. The tofu was cooked perfectly. The sauce they used was amazing. And the spice level was great. It was definitely spicy, but not so bad that it overpowered the great flavors of everything else. Will definitely stop back! read more

This is one of my favorites for Thai food even though it's not the closest to my house. They do everything just right. I usually get Fresh rolls and more than one meal and reheat it the next day. My go-to's are the drunken noodles, Pad Thai and the curry dishes. Love it? read more

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 read more

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. read more

Best crab rangoon around. I usually get the pad Thai or pad see ew (both delicious), but this time I mixed it up and went with a special - braised short rib in curry sauce with coconut rice. It was outstanding (and I'm not typically a huge fan of curry). My wife got the crispy pork belly special, which was also awesome. read more

First timers and will definitely be back! There is street (meter) parking but if you go up the street further there is a paid lot. Owner said we were in for a treat ... and he was so right! There was little talking and a whole lotta eating going on. We go take out tonight - it was ready when promised which is always a great start. Tonight we tried a bunch of stuff; drunken noodles - drunken lo mein- pad Thai - pineapple fried rice and eggplant with chicken -- everything was so good!!! Ohh and thanks for the complimentary spring rolls - what a delicious surprise. I had the pad Thai and can say that this hands down was the best I have had! All in all .. we all loved the meal and will definitely be back ...next time dine in! read more

Stopped in here when we were in the area and my 8 year old was craving Thai. I was so impressed with the ambience when we walked in - feels very welcoming and a little fancy! We ordered pot stickers and pad see ew. The food came out quickly. These potstickers and the sauce were some of the best I have ever had! The pad see ew portion was large and I especially appreciated that there was a generous amount of chicken included. The noodles were thicker and more substantial than any I have had before - had more of a homemade feel. The sauce had more of a fishy taste than what I was expecting, so something to be aware of if you're sensitive to that. Our server was so friendly and lovely. She was very proactive in refilling our waters and making sure we were taken care of. Overall, a great experience! read more

Its new and unfortunately, seems understaffed. The staff there were very nice but were literally running through the walk way back and forth from kitchen to tables. The tables were maybe 1/2 full. The appetizers were amazing. The tea was also very good. The wait was LONG between each thing. The first curry was not what I ordered. It had nuts and chicken. I had ordered the pumpkin curry with tofu. They did correct it but it was again, a long wait. The curry in the second picture was significantly less than the first as well. Unfortunately my friend had the same issue as they had to correct her first dish as well. The second dish was SIGNIFICANTLY smaller and was cold. The whole process was about 2 hours. I think I'd try a different location, but I don't plan to go back to this one. Most people were kind of sitting and staring at one another quietly and A couple walked out angrily. It wasn't the best experience. read more

The food and drinks are delicious, but a little pricey (that doesn't stop me if all else is great). The service was right on time. The surroundings are visually appealing. However, if you are seated too close to the bar area, you might find the music and people at and working behind the bar are so loud you can't have a conversation at your own table. This happened on two occasions a few months ago. That's a total buzzkill, so we haven't gone back since. read more

I'm terrible at taking pictures of my food! My partner and I decided to finally try this place out. It was very good Thai (for Pittsburgh). The portions were slightly small, but flavorful. Everything coming out looked amazing! I got a level 10 spicy Tom yum. I thought it wasn't very spicy for that level but still flavorful and delicious! So maybe my only issue is that the spice doesn't match? I still gave a good review because the service was excellent. Everything came out fresh, fast, and delicious. It seems like a cute area to walk around and explore when finished! Such a cute little restaurant and it seems like they've expanded to more locations throughout Pittsburgh! read more

Dancing Crab just opened a second location in dormont! It's really nice inside, but kind of small, so be sure to call and make a reservation! The restrooms are down a flight of stairs, so hopefully that is not an issue for you. The service was slow, but they were very busy and understaffed. The bartender was acting as the host. The food was all very good. We got the pot stickers and dancing shrimp appetizer. Both delicious. My husband got the spicy basil fried rice with seafood, and boy was it spicy!! I got the drunken noodles and they were very good as well! We'll definitely be back to try some more items off the menu! read more

On March 5th, I finally got a chance to take off work early to check out the new 2nd location. I recall that the original location I really liked and the owner was super friendly. I highly anticipated having a fab dinner! Much to my dismay, the experience I had was an extreme disappointment. Details: The appetizer order was the fried Calamari. Small, small portion. Worse, first bites were full of nasty freezer burn taste. Alerted the server and she said nothing, shrugged her shoulders and took it away. I tried to wash it down with a glass of water but they never brought any waters out! Sizzling seafood platter. It looked really expensive but maybe, just maybe it would be worth it? Wishful thinking as the same theme, portion size not enough for one, more than half tasted rubbery. When we asked where the rest of the food was the server had the really pissy mood and told us she had to call the owner. I do give them credit here, finally they came back out with a little more and it was slightly better tasting. Pad Thai w shrimp. The sauce used is juat soy sauce, extremely salty and shrimps overcooked. Again, small portion size. I am not sure what happened here compared to their other location but I left with a sour taste in my mouth and upset stomach the rest of the night. Final note, server still did not seem to care about our experience an we too did not feel so welcomed. read more

Dancing Crab is absolutely my go to for great Thai food in Pittsburgh. The location in Dormont in particular knocks it out of the park. The food is always incredible and they have the ambiance down as well. I went for dinner this evening and both the server and manager were so kind and attentive. If you'd like a romantic night or an intimate evening with friends and good food- I would highly recommend. read more

Great food. Great atmosphere. A little pricey but nothing outrageous. But terrible service. Terrible. But we would still go back.

Service is always amazing. I ordered my curry as a level 2. It was a pinch too spicy so the waitress added more soup for me to lessen the heat. read more

Thank God-- This location in Dormont needed a good, classy restaurant and we got it. The cuisine is top 5 Thai ever in my life and I've lived in LA (iykyk about LA's reputation for Thai). Their specials and recommendations are so unique and delicious. If you just want great Thai on a random night this right here is the best in the city imo. And it also offers the ambience for an excellent date night too. read more

Wonderful Thai spot in the Dormont/Mt. Lebo area! My husband and I had been hearing so much about this place, and we finally gave it a try this past weekend. We were able to easily make a reservation over the phone, and I was glad that we did - it was very full when we arrived on a Saturday evening! The space is beautiful and more spacious than it appears from the outside. Lots of cultural flair mixed with elegant fixtures makes for a cozy and sophisticated dining room and lovely bar! We were greeted quickly and out drink orders were taken within minutes of being seated. I tried the chili margarita (very spicy and tasty) and my husband tried the aviation, which he enjoyed. We tried the dancing chicken and fresh rolls as appetizers, and for entrees, I ordered drunken lo mein and he ordered the kao soy with short rib. Everything was SO tasty and service was so quick! Our server was also extremely friendly and warm. The khao soi was a presentation in itself, with a tableside broth pour over the noodles and short ribs. We will definitely return! I recommend bringing family and friends, or simply visiting on a date night, it's definitely a fun and modern spot for some tasty Thai fare! read more

Dancing Crab opening up a second location in Dormont at a location that was a French restaurant and for many years Franco's. The decor is very nice, the same as the former French restaurant. Ordered tack out and our food was ready quickly. My duck curry was very good. Crispy duck in a red curry sauce with veggies and some pineapple. Really a tasty dish. Great to have in the neighborhood. read more
