My wife and I love Thai food. We were thrilled to see this Thai restaurant open near our home. Then we went there - what a disappointment. tasteless food! we have been there 3 times now, thinking that we just ordered the wrong thing or the cook was having a bad day. But no, it was always the same - really bad. If this is what real Thai food tastes like , no one would eat it. Don't go here. It's a waste of your hard earned dollars. read more

We came here because of the reviews, we usually frequent Avor Thai in Cranberry, but we were closer to Kanlaya. While the restaurant appeared clean, and they were quite busy with take out orders this experience fell short for us. They do not have hot beverages (tea or coffee) nor do they have any salad (husband wanted papya salad) the Thai iced tea was boardering on way too sweet. We had Tom Ga soup spice level 3, crab Rangoon, Curry with pork spice level 3 and cashew chicken spice level 2. The food just wasn't as flavourful as we are used to, spice levels 3 on my husband's food was pretty one note, I thought my spice level 2 was great but the chicken seem old, the crab Rangoon was more cream cheese filled then any other flavor, food was just okay nothing really stood out. Service was ehh, not very personable, and could not remember who got what at the table with oy 2 of us there. If we want Thai food again we will drive the extra 20 minutes to Cranberry, just not what we were looking for. read more

A wide selection of Thai food with varying levels of spice available. Healthy portions for a good price and very easy takeout amidst the COVID-19 lockdowns. The Pad Thai and Fried Rice were very tastefully prepared with good depth of flavor. read more

Jungle curry does not list bell peppers as an ingredient on the menu. I have ordered it before and it did not contain bell peppers. I have a bell pepper allergy and couldn't eat the food because they decided to add them. read more

They have some of the best Thai food I have tasted in Pittsburgh, very fresh ingredients.

Excellent Thai food for a very reasonable price! We drove 25 minutes to eat here and were very pleased. We started with the shrimp cheese and fried spring rolls. Both were crispy and fresh with very good flavor. I had the cashew chicken level 2 spice as my entree. My wife had the Thai basil with chicken at level 1 spice, while my daughter had the drunken noodles and my son-in-law Thai basil chicken at level 2 spice. The flavor explodes in these dishes with all of us being very pleased with our dishes that come out quickly and are piping hot. The service was good, with the only problem (which was minimal) was that the dishes come out one at a time, but follow quickly. Food quality - 5 Stars - Really good Thai food with your choice of spice level ( note 1 can be too spicy for those who like their food mild and I suggest going at level 0). I loved it with the dishes having great flavor. Service - 4 Stars - I would like to have all the entrees come out at the same time, otherwise attentive. Atmosphere - 3/4 Stars - Nothing special but nice and clean. Price - 4 Stars - Good value and serving size is plenty for someone. Overall - 4/5 Stars - Very Good place and well worth the trip. read more

If you are Asian this isn't the place for you. They didn't even have hot tea. Food wasn't bad but not cooked the way Thai food is supposed to be cooked. Sautéd veggies is more like steamed with oyster sauce. Good thing the crab fried rice was ok. Staff and customers (even those ordering take out) are all white so I would say this is Thai food for white people. read more

It is great to have an actual Thai restaurant so close in the north hills! Food is always good and they are now seating people inside their restaurant! read more

What a gem for the Gibsonia area! I was able to stop on the second day they were open and had a wonderful lunch! We were greeted quickly and seated just as fast. Drinks came quickly and we ordered lunch. I had chicken pad Thai at a spice level of 4(1 to 4 is your choice) . Lunch came with a free spring roll, which was a surprise! Super fresh and crispy. My pad Thai didn't take long to come after that and was absolutely delicious. It was spicey but wasn't overly spicy. Just right! The bean sprouts on it were sooo fresh and crispy! The service here is very quick and nice. I can tell the owner and worker I saw really cared! We were in and out in less than 45 minutes! I am so happy to have another option in the area and will be coming back for more! A good, quick, and super yummy lunch option! A must try spot in the area read more

Great find. Restaurant has been in business about a year and the quality of ingredients is what really stood out. After a year they're still using very fresh ingredients. Everything we ordered was filled with fresh vegetables from the mushrooms to the onions to the cucumbers etc. The tom kha and tom yum soups were both fantastic. Spice levels to order. And the crispy snapper with basil was delicate and flavorful, nothing overpowering the other flavors. Prices were reasonable with a handful of higher priced dishes to choose from as well. Oh and probably one of the biggest selling points... BYOB with just a $1.50 per bottle fee! read more

Nice place and delicious food, but I think they should have clearly printed receipt. Every time I order and pay, honestly I never have idea about how much food cost, because I was never been given a itemized receipt. read more

This a bad example of Thai food. The "fresh rolls" are stuffed with iceberg lettuce in lieu of fresh basil and cilantro. The pad Thai was extremely sweet and greasy. It tasted almost like pancake syrup. Not good. read more

I asked the gentleman who answered the phone what his favorite curry there was. He said Red was the most popular but his favorite was Penang. So I ordered Penang, spice level 3/4. Got Drunken noodles, spice 3/4. Both SOOOOOOOOO GOOD!! Don't know why we waited so long to try the place. Kids liked the chicken satay and (bland) vegetable soup. We got it to go. It was ready in 20 minutes, as promised. Very polite staff. It may very well end up a weekly routine! Try it!! read more

Super friendly. GREAT food and decent prices. We're big fans of the Pad Thai. But other dishes are just as good

Very good. A little sweeter than some Thai. The 3 (out of 4) is quite spicy! A welcome addition to the area! read more

Excellent all the way around. Doesn't taste like it's the stock food from the same truck that delivers to lots of different places. Homemade in both food quality, and service read more

Excellent meal! I have eaten here and also gotten take-out. The staff hustles and delivers an excellent meal. The vegetable fried rice is fantastic--as was my chicken with green beans. Their Tom yum soup is as good as it gets in the north hills. I plan to return soon so I can try more dishes! read more

No mask! Poor service! The staff was not wearing mask on the day I went for pick up. read more

Very good food. A little expensive per dinner however, paying for quality. Ordered the Pad Thai.

Kanlaya has the best Thai food and wonderful friendly staff! Love this place, great for takeout!

By far one of the best Thai restaurants in the area yet!! It's right up there with Nicky's Thai on the Northside!! Tom Kha soup on point and Pad Thai best I've ever had, the noodles were actually made correctly. Great service and good atmosphere. If you haven't been, what are you waiting for?!?! read more

I am impressed, to say the least... I am a frequent visitor to other Pittsburgh area Thai restaurants (once a week regularly) and this one blew my socks off! I'm beyond excited that they are only 5 minutes away! I got 2 takeouts this past week and took my friend to try a dine in today. I gauge how good a Thai restaurant is based on their curry and Tom Kha soup... here's my review: Both takeouts were Green Curry (one Veggie and one Tofu) cause that's my favorite dish and tells me whether this restaurant is any good or not... I basically put myself in a food coma both times because it was amazing and I couldn't stop eating it! Portions were perfect. Word to the wise... Curry is already spicy so don't overdo it with a higher spice level. I ordered a 1 out of 0-4 and it was plenty hot for me. I was definitely feeling it Today, arrived at 11:30 am with no wait, picked our table and were well taken care of by the waitstaff. Ordered Tom Kha soup (spice 2) and Thai Basil with Tofu (spice 1). Tom Kha was on point... it was definitely fresh with a stronger lemongrass flavor which made it more bright. I also enjoy Nicky's Thai Tom Kha because I literally feel like it's giving me a warm hug from the inside. This one would boost my spirit with it's brightness! I LOVED it! Thai Basil with Tofu was amazing as well... I was stuffed when I left and am positive I will return. Next time I will order a 2 or 3 spice for regular dishes but stick with 1 on the curry. Drink was Thai Iced Tea which was also very delic! read more

Great service and incredibly tasty Thai. We are new to Thai but thoroughly enjoyed. Ordered level 3 spice, if you like spicy, a 4 would be fine. Overall a great little place on Rt.8 read more

Would give 4.5 stars if I could. Excellent Thai food, just a notch below Nicky's (and to be honest, hard to decide if the ambiance at Nicky's has something to do with it). Had the Tom Yum soup, which had excellent depth of flavor. Same with the Basil Chicken. My wife had the Pineapple Rice, which was great - loaded with pineapple, raisins, and veggies. Shared Crispy Spring Rolls, which came out piping hot and were loaded with chicken and veggies. All the veggies were cooked spot on. And there were a ton of fresh veggies in every dish. I love spicy food, went with a 4 on both the soup and Basil Chicken. Perfect spice level for me. The couple next to us went with a 1, and commented that they should have chosen a 0. Saw that they had Mango with Sticky Rice on the desert menu, although seasonal. Didn't think they would have it, but the waitress said they did. Five minutes later, she told us that the chef could not prepare the dish, as the mango was not ripe enough, and comped us a desert (Fried Banana, which was also excellent). We were not upset at all, and were happy to know that the chef would rather not make the dish than send out below-par food. Excellent sign of a restaurant that cares about its food and guests. Only knock I have is that they seemed to be short-staffed. The poor servers were literally running between tables and handling the take-out orders. There were 10 take-out orders during our meal, so they need to hire a dedicated staff member to work the front counter and handle take-out. That said, even though short staffed, our server was attentive and we didn't feel like we were forgotten. Don't let the outside of the place fool you. The inside has been reconditioned, and the food is well worth the trip. read more

This is a new Thai restaurant in the Allison Park/Gibsonia area and it is really terrific. I went for the first time on Saturday and ended up going back again on Monday because we wanted to try more of their food. I had the Pad Thai and my wife had the Red Curry and both were well prepared. I also had the Tom Yum soup which was SO good. I ordered it at a spice level of 2, (0-4 scale) and it was mouth warming but not overwhelming which is exactly what I wanted. Our second trip I tried the Larb and my wife had the Green Curry. Both were wonderful. The atmosphere is cozy and quiet, but that may change as people try the food. Highly recommend! The service was friendly and attentive but started to fall a little behind when the place started getting into the dinner rush. (Likely a function of being a new place. ) BYOB (They had wine glasses). If this place gets a liquor licence I may move in. read more

The food is AMAZING here. The staff is super friendly. Happy there's a good Thai restaurant around me now. I had the seafood red curry fried rice and it was pretty good. The tum yum soup is great as well. If you're not sure what to get pad thai would be the best option. read more

What great service on top of authentic tasting food. Never disappointed. I can't wait to go back. Tom Yum Soup is the bomb!!! read more

Amazing food and incredibly friendly service. This is the best Thai cuisine we've had in the 17 years we've lived in Pennsylvania. The only thing I'd not miss is the music - it's a bit jarring and repetitive, but I'm an Aspie so maybe it's just me. Try this place out - you'll be glad you did! read more

This place is sooooo good. I love the garlic pepper chicken, but have had many other dishes and loved them all. Eat here you won't be disappointed. read more

Very good food. Been here 4 times in 2 weeks!! Had the green curry and Thai basil both yummy.. Crab Rangoon are excellent as well read more

Such a good Thai restaurant, glad it's so close to our house. We love Pad See Aew and Drunken Noodles!

This is probably one of the best Thai food spots in the Pittsburgh area. I mostly prefer take out from this place but a few times I dined in the service was great. read more

The larb and the drunken noodles are my favorite! My husband enjoys the Thai basil chicken. This is one of our favorite restaurants. The servers are very nice, it always seems to be the same two guys when we go. Definitely worth a try if you love authentic Thai flavors!! There's nothing like getting one free refill on Thai iced tea too!! read more

Tried this place for the first time today for lunch and it greatly exceeded my expectations. I was a little worried going in because they have yet to remove the Uptown Diner sign outside (despite apparently being open for weeks) but the decor inside is updated and on par with other suburban Thai places I've visited. I ordered the chicken pad thai and it was excellent. The portion was generous and it contained a fair amount of chicken. It was served with fresh sprouts, carrots and shredded cabbage, which was a nice touch. I asked for medium spice and it contained the perfect amount of heat. The customary spring roll appetizer was crisp and it's dipping sauce was really flavorful (unlike many others I've tried around town). I will definitely be back. read more

We are home from NYC due to quarantine and my bf has lived in the area for years and never tried this place. Saw it had good reviews so checked it out. Loved it all! Had the pad Thai and drunken noodle. Bomb. read more

Excellent food, as close to Bangkok as possible in Allison Park, and possibly Pittsburgh. Of course did take-out, but very easy to call and order, took about 30 min and everything very nicely packed, lots of napkins and cardboard supports as portions are so generous. Grandma does level 0, after 25 years in SE Asia level 3 was just nice, but choose your own. It was all good! read more

Delicious! I'm so happy to have a great Thai restaurant in the neighborhood! I've only gotten takeout here, never ate in, but it appears to be BYOB. I'm a big fan of pad Thai and they have GREAT pad Thai. Takeout is always ready quickly and they get the order right. Update: They have a sign up now. When you see it, stop in & enjoy!! :) read more

This may very well be my new favorite Thai restaurant in the Pittsburgh area! We ordered takeout for the first time, last Friday, and couldn't get over how great everything tasted, not to mention the perfect portion sizes! Can't wait to get more, this Friday! If you like Thai food, do yourself a favor and give them a look...you won't regret it. read more
