I just had a pickup order of dumplings, pad thai, and egg rolls proved to be a mistake. The food was definitely reheated from a previous time. I have had freshly made dumplings and folks, these were not it. The pad thai was dry and reheated as well. Egg rolls were mildly cold even though I was there to grab the order as it became available. I love one street away, I should not have to reheat my food. Never again. read more

I always find this location to be somewhat strange but the restaurant has great ambience, especially when you can sit outside. As far as the food goes, I haven't always been impressed when I've ventured far from their version of drunken noodles, so now that has become the go-to. Their apps are solid as well especially the samosa and crab rangoon. And while I like their Thai iced tea, it's $5 for a relatively modest sized glass. read more

Went here to celebrate my husband's birthday. The food is DELICIOUS!! I ordered the pad see ew and my husband ordered a seafood special. Both were absolutely delicious and very filling. The food is a bit pricey but it is good and the ambiance is nice. I also ordered a blood orange lemonade and my husband ordered a green Thai iced bubble tea. Both were very good. Only thing I was kind of upset with was that they didn't have spring rolls with shrimp, only tofu. Service is good, our waitress was very sweet. read more

Excellent Thai food. Lunch prices are very good. The outdoor patio is lovely in nice weather.

Does the food taste good sure. But, if you like eating MSG in every bite, then this is the place for you. How do I know? I asked the waitress not to put MSG in my meal. She said that wasn't possible. I asked what dish I could get without MSG. She said every dish is prepared with MSG, it can't be left out. I didn't really understand why, so I ended up ordering white steamed rice. I got the feeling between the demeanor of the waitress and the style and methods of cooking, it was a little bit of an assembly line approach with everything. read more

Had the green curry + tomyum soup. Both were terrible, Too many veggies and onions. To the point i can find the meat I ordered. The green curry is not green as the traditional thai green curry. Sucks to be one of the only thai places around and suck read more

Had a drink and apps here yesterday with my sister. This was my second time at this location, and I have found here and downtown to be a lot better than the N Shore location. They also have a beautiful patio area that I can't wait to utilize in the summer months. Rangoons were great as always, but I feel like the dumplings have been changed recently? Still good, just different. Had the fresh spring roll for the first time and wasn't a fan, there was hardly any tofu at all! read more

Had the massaman curry, pumpkin curry and one of the specials which was a whole fried fish in tamarind sauce. The fish was the true winner. Stunning presentation and delicious! My daughter kept helping herself to more of it. The curries are good too. The bowls they come in along with the rice are so interesting! Our waiter was excellent too. read more

Got the Khao Soi with chicken and Pad Thai with veggies as a to-go order. The pad Thai was unbelievably bland and the veggies were disappointing. The khao soi was good flavor wise but the portion was a little disappointing for the money. Overall a pretty meh experience. read more

So went here the other night looking for some good Thai food. So honestly we had a mixed bag some of the food was excellent other was passable and not remarkable. We started with crab rangoon excellent. We ordered the fresh and the fried spring rolls. The fresh were not all that inspiring, but the fried ones left us wanting more. For dinner we had yellow curry, cashew curry and pad thai. First all the both of the curries flavor was spot on we asked for 3 on a scale of 5 and the heat was there but not overwhelming. We had chx in each of the entrees and it was tender in every dish. While the yellow curry was of note and one we will order again the cashew was not, I would suggest to try another dish. The pad Thai was also good enough to order on our next trip. All in all this will be our go to Thai restaurant going forward. Total for dinner was $25 per per for 3 people so not cheap, but for the quality I am going back. read more

Years ago I ate at a different location of Nicky's Thai Kitchen, and recently a friend of mine recommended that I try this location in Mount Nebo. Their menu lists a range of Thai appetizers, soups, salads, curries, rices, noodles, chef's special entrees, sides, desserts, and beverages. Prices were reasonable. I spent a total of $57 plus a tip on a large lunch for two people, and we have leftovers for another meal later. The service was very good. The seating hostess kindly greeted my husband and me and immediately walked us to a clean table. Our waiter talked with us very nicely and promptly brought out our drinks, appetizers, and entrees. I did notice that one employee sometimes did not wear her face mask, but our waiter did. The interior design of the restaurant was lovely. Thai art was hanging on the walls. Beautiful chandeliers hung from the ceiling. Here are my reviews for my drinks and foods: Mango juice - 4 stars - This mango juice came in a tall glass, and its sweetness balanced out my spicy foods. Unsweetened tea - 4 stars - My husband drank this tea, and it was tea. Crispy egg rolls - 5 stars - These egg rolls were somewhat small, but we were given several of them. They had a crispy outer dough and a tasty filling of carrots, vermicelli, and cabbage. On the side was a pineapple sauce that had a wonderful combination of spiciness and sweetness, but we wished that this sauce were thicker so it would not drip. Crab rangoon - 4.5 stars - Several crispy wontons were filled with some crab meat, cream cheese, and onion. The pineapple sauce was served on the side. Green curry with chicken - 4 stars - I chose a protein of chicken, and it was served in a bowl of egg plant, basil leaves, broccoli, bell peppers, green peas, carrots, green beans, coconut milk, and green curry paste. On the side was a large house salad with carrots, peanuts, tomatoes, mangos, and a dressing. Pad see eaw with beef - 4 stars - My husband selected beef for his meat, and it was combined with rice noodles, broccoli, and soy sauce. On the side was a chicken soup that was surprisingly meaty and hearty. read more

Love this Nicky's. The outdoor patio is my favorite part. It's covered and has tons of plants to add to the ambiance. There's even a water fountain for some background noise. The sen me pad see eaw is by far my favorite. The thin cellophane noodles are way better than any other noodles I've had! The fried rice and green curry is great too. They could you a little more rice with the curry but the portions are big enough to take home for another full meal. read more

Awesome is the word. I stopped in, while in town, heading to PNC park for a ball game. Rather than drop $75 on junk ballpark food I thought I'd try a smorgasbord of things here for even less. I ended up getting Tom Yum soup, spring rolls, a Thai salad, & Pad Phet with chicken. All was amazing and the spice level of the Pad Phat was rather mild to a light medium at the smallest spice level. read more

Went for lunch last Saturday, seated immediately, four in my party. The restaurant is clean and enjoyed the ambiance. This was our first time at this location. Only a few miles from my house, will definitely return again. We had appetizers and soup and our meals. Everything was delicious. Staff was friendly and polite. read more

Definitely try to book a reservation ahead of time. They have a cute little patio outside. Dining inside is also currently open. The appetizer sampler was great. Not 100% sure what everything was, but all items were equally tasty. read more

Lunch hour visit with Quick and attentive table side service. food was piping hot and very obviously freshly made. Wasn't impressed with the 5 tiny egg rolls ($8) nor the included salad with a very watery "dressing". But the curry plates were yummy good. Green curry was ordered at a spicy 3 with chicken. Pineapple vegetable curry was ordered at a spicy 4 and it did not disappoint. Good portion size for a lunch menu item. Satisfying and delicious. read more

Service doesn't seem to matter when you're automatically charged 20% gratuity! We ate here on a weekend night, arriving at 8:40 pm. There were only guests at 4 other tables, and there seemed to be plenty of wait staff. My husband and I both ordered our dishes 4/5 spice level. My husband's noodle dish was so hot, he could barely eat it (and he has an incredibly high tolerance for heat and has ordered the same thing there before with no issue. My dish was spicy, but pleasantly so, just as I had hoped). The waitress never came back to check on our meals or refill drinks. At the end of our meal when she asked us how it was, my husband said his food was almost inedible. She offered no apology and said that the noodle dishes come pre-spiced, and then additional spice is then added. I asked why that disclaimer isn't on the menu? She had no answer. She then informed us 20% gratuity was already included. When I asked why (there were only 2 of us!), she stated, "Nicky's Thai Kitchen policy is to add 20% gratuity due to COVID". Horrible service and no way to remedy a nearly-inedible dish: we will not be back! read more

Pretty good as an average Appetizers and desserts were totally bomb! The entrees I tried were pedestrian. Red curry and pad Thai were about as exciting as something you'd get in the frozen aisle of Whole Foods Overall worth going to especially if you want mostly appetizers/small plates. If you are most emphatic on entrees roll the dice again read more

My family loves it here. Whether we are downtown on Penn or on the north side we try to make it in. Our go-tos are usually the Pad Thai, phad See Eaw, and the pineapple fried rice! read more

I absolutely love the curry here. It is the BEST out there. I had the yellow curry with tofu. They give you an abundance of sauce. My husband had the Mango Mahi and cashew that was on special. I also had the most delicious pineapple margarita. They took all the necessary precautions with Covid. We ate outside where the scenery made for very private dining. We even got complimentary dessert. Delicious!! read more

It's all good. Authentic Thai food and service with a smile. The patio is lovely with a rock waterfall and golden statues to wow you!

Yummy food and portion size! Every entree, salad or soup that we tried has been fresh, right texture and spiced right. This is a frequent must-have! read more

Beware of the mandatory 20% tip added to your check, REGARDLESS OF PARTY SIZE! And the tip is based off of your bill AFTER tax! Since when do we tell people how much to tip? Definitely the last time they make money off of me. read more

Nicky's Thai Kitchen is definitely now in my Top 5! I tried for the first time yesterday. It was not too busy for a Sunday. We walked in and were seated right away. It was a great experience. The service was amazing! Waitress was very helpful and knew about every dish on the menu. Drinks were good (not strong enough though) and the food was delicious. Crab Rangoon (not pictured) was my favorite. read more

Delicious. A little pricey but very worth a try. Went with a friend and we shared two dishes and had a bunch left over. Huge portions and very filling. The chefs special rice was VERY good. Massaman curry is usually my go to thai dish, and they did a great job with that as well. Highly recommend. Very nice for a date night. read more

Nicky's never misses! Always a go-to for great Thai food in Pittsburgh! Their curries are amazing-highly recommend the Penang and pumpkin. Their pad Thai is also great for those wanting something with less heat. read more

This was our first visit to Nicky's. We let my son pick dinner tonight. The menu was robust and looked good. The restaurant was kind of cool looking and we decided to eat at an outside table. We were greeted during dinner by a brave chipmunk that was in no way afraid of people. It darted all over picking up crumbs that may have been dropped. The servers were both very friendly, offered some great advice and were very attentive. We ordered an app sampler and two entrees to split. Portions were large. My son insisted that he order his spice level at the highest, 5 out of 5. So we didn't really share his entree. I sampled it and it was instant fire. My son said he liked it but was red faced and sweating profusely. The apps were good, the shrimp toast was very different and our least favorite. I ordered Phad See Eaw, a wide noodle dish. It was very tasty. Because my wife was sharing with me, I ordered a 2 spice level. I would definitely go back again. read more

Ordered for first time. Food was delicious! Service was great. We have pad Thai, satay, Thai toast and more. Was soooo yummy!!

Excellent food, service, and friendly staff. The crab rangoon is one of the better ones I have had out in recent memory. The food was fresh and flavorful. Thankful to have a closer location in the North Hills now! The only thing I was disappointed in was the house salad/lunch salad. That flavor was bland and the lettuce was very wet. Allergy notes: While not noted in any description the salad came with crushed peanuts on it. // Always mention allergies to your server. // I am not allergic, but we tend to avoid due to family member allergy. (Although if you have peanut, tree nut, or sesame allergies you are probably not eating asian food out.) read more

Always great! Can't wait to open the bag. I love everything I've ever had. Love the black chicken.

We love Nicky's Thai! We love to eat in the garden where the waterfall is the great touch for ambiance. We love the unique serving dishes. We love the food. We have never had bad service, in fact, they are very attentive without being over bearing. Always a great experience! read more

Never had a bad meal here! The food always has been fresh and the wait staff has also been top notch! It is hard to find good service these days, but Nicky's Thai doesn't disappoint. The inside is nicely decorated with really cool Asian influence, but our favorite spot to sit is outside under the covered patio. There is not a single thing I would not recommend from here, but they do have some of the better curries we've had in the pittsburgh area. read more

Maybe I expected too much based on the reviews here. But for me this was just meh. The curry was way too runny. The beef was worse than the bad Chinese buffets offer. My dinner mate felt the same about her pork dish. The pork looked like it was from a frozen Hormel "pork loin". It was dry and tasteless. On the brightside the service was very friendly and efficient. But overall I think you can do better elsewhere. read more

Yummy drinks and good food. Great selection of a menu. The servers were also very nice and helpful. COVID-19 precautions are more noticeable than other restaurants that seat you 6~ish feet away. There are plastic/vinyl dividers between tables. Would definitely return again, I and the person I went with got pineapple curry and green curry. Nice heat level, felt like I could definitely go hotter and there was a scale where you could! Chicken satay appetizer was very good! Would return again read more

Love the food. Especially crab Rangoon and pad Thai. Plentiful portions. Ambiance a little strange as temperature was weird in the restaurant. They added a 20% gratuity to the bill with a table of 4. They did point it out to us but I don't think they should do that. One patron really didn't like it and caused a scene in the restaurant. The scene kind of hindered our meal as well. read more
