    You can't beat the atmosphere here, it feels like you are sitting in Bangkok. Service was good and so too was the food. The Pad See Ew and garlic chicken were tasty dishes (both with chicken). My brother (who lived in Bangkok for 20 years) got a special on the menu that night that was a thin fried flounder-like fish. The star of the whole meal though was the Tom Yum soup. It was delicious.

    It was my first time here and I thought it was just wonderful. Great vibes, quick service and large delicious, fresh tasting portions. There are veggie options and a nice sized menu as well. I recommend Nicky's Thai Kitchen on Mt. Nebo Rd. In North Hills, PA.

    Nicky's offers a peaceful ambiance within a busy dine in and take out restaurant. This was my first time dining in at this location on a weekday, and I really enjoyed the tropical sangria happy hour special.

    As always, Nicky's does not disappoint. I've been to each of their locations, and the quality is extremely consistent. Friendly, quick service and a team that also lets you sit for as long as you want! We sat on the patio, and it was sooo nice. Just such a nice atmosphere. Road noise is a little loud and so was the fountain actually, but not too distracting. We ordered crab Rangoon, pad see ew and the pumpkin curry. Everything was delicious, fresh, and portions are great. I'm a lifelong cu

    This location has a wonderful outdoor patio, and great seating inside as well. I frequent all of the locations. This time I ordered the Thai iced coffee, fresh spring roles, and the mango salad. All exceptionally tasty!

    Always a fan of Nicky's. Great food and friendly service. The music is a bit loud, but it's tolerable.

    Food is very good. Service is quick. Portions are great. A little packed in there, but makes sense considering their location and trying to maximize seating, so much so there is even a table at the entry of the hall headed to the bathrooms. Honestly my only complaint is really pricing. Even though the portions were nice, I still felt $22 for pad Thai was a bit much and the beer was even more expensive. $10 for a 22oz Sapporo when I can buy the 6 pack for $12.

    A group of 12 of us stopped by around 5:30pm on a Sunday for an early dinner. We called when we were on the way and they were able to set up a large table and seat us almost right away. We also let them know we wanted separate checks which they were able to accommodate and added on a 25% automatic gratuity. The inside decor was super cute. It was spacious with a fairly large dining room, little bar area, and also outside patio seating. The food was delicious. I really enjoyed my Tom Kha soup and my friends really enjoyed their food and drinks. My one friend did note that his pork belly dish felt like it was spicier than the level three that was requested but otherwise no other complaints food wise. Our service was friendly but they forgot to ever give me my Thai Island Ice Tea that I ordered (they didn't charge me for it and luckily my friend let me try hers) and they tried to give me the regular Tom Kha soup instead of the hotpot version I ordered. We had to call out their mistake and they immediately took my soup back and brought out the correct version later.

    I've ordered take out from the Mt Nebo location many times and dined in a couple of times. Yesterday we dined in for lunch. I've had menu items to go from their curry menu, rice dishes as well as their noodle dishes. This time I opted for a salad. I'm not 100% clear on what a traditional Thai salad looks or what it contains so maybe my expectations were set wrong but regardless it wasn't my favorite dish there. Other dishes I've had from here are just okay. Nothing I would order when craving a Thai dish. As for the salad, there was one leaf of lettuce. All of the vegetables were so large nothing was bite size or able to be eaten without it being sliced into several chunks. Biggest complaint, the dish the salad was served in was not large enough to thoroughly slice any of it. I had such a mess of things falling off the plate. The chicken was also dry and hard to slice. Ambiance outside on the patio is delightful. Service was great. Meals are just okay.

    The best Thai in Pittsburgh! I have loved Nicky's for many years, especially their North Hills location. I dined in this most recent time; the service is always insanely quick, staff is friendly, and they have a lovely outdoor patio! I got my favorite crab rangoons and pad see ew with beef. They get it right every time!

Everything was so tasty, fresh, and cooked to perfection. Definitely the highlight of our experience! The decor felt like you're truly in Thailand. Unfortunately, the service was a bit subpar, at least with our server. We felt somewhat rushed throughout the meal, but thankfully, it didn't stop us from enjoying our food and conversation. The biggest surprise came when we received the check. Since it was my first time dining here, I didn't realize they automatically include a gratuity charge. For our party of three, a 20% gratuity was added. For reference: * Dine-in parties of 9 or fewer: 20% pre-tax gratuity * Dine-in parties of 10 or more: 25% pre-tax gratuity I would still recommend giving this place a try because the food is genuinely delicious. Just be sure to know about the automatic gratuity ahead of time so there are no surprises when the check arrives!

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.

Such a simple dish but I could eat a VAT of that Roti app once a week for the rest of my life and be better for it LOL. It's seriously so good I crave it constantly. I tried out the lemongrass meatballs this time. They were SO GOOD. Normally I need a thick sauce with a meatball idk it's just who I am. These needed absolutely nothing. They were the perfect texture and I loved the crispy shallots. I've actually never had Khao Soi and man I have been missing out! The meat was seriously so tender I could not get over it. The flavors were perfectly married it was a great dish. The crispy shrimp was also amazing the pieces were massive and the SAUCE (lol) was so good. Pusadee's knows what they're doing. There is a reason why they're always so busy and I'm happy we have a place like this in the burgh!

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.

The waiter didn't seem to want to be bothered with us, and also the very loud music that was interrupted by a lot of equally loud commercials was pretty offputting, but based on the food, I would definitely come back.

The music was amazing, banger after banger, and it gave the whole restaurant such a fun, comfortable energy. The staff was incredibly attentive, clean, friendly, and genuinely caring without hovering. They seemed to know exactly when you needed something and when to let you enjoy your meal. The menu was also exactly what I want from a Thai restaurant. They had a great selection without making it overwhelming, and all of the classics you would expect were there. I started with the spring rolls, and they were excellent. The serving size was perfect for one person, three good finger-sized rolls, and they came out absolutely piping hot. I actually had to wait a minute before eating them, which I genuinely appreciate. There is something to be said for food arriving fresh from the kitchen instead of sitting around getting lukewarm. Then came the red curry beef. I travel for a living, and one thing I make a point of doing everywhere I go is trying the red curry beef. I have probably had hundreds of versions in different cities, so I am pretty particular about what makes a great one. For me, the curry needs to have a rich, creamy, slightly thicker consistency. Too many places serve it watery, which immediately takes away from the dish. The beef also has to be good quality, because questionable meat can ruin even a great curry. Dancing Crab Thai absolutely nailed both. The curry was rich and creamy with a powerful but beautifully balanced combination of coconut and red curry flavor. The spice level was perfect, enough heat to make it exciting without overpowering everything else. The beef was excellent quality, and along with the usual peppers and bamboo shoots, this one also had peas, which I don't remember seeing very often in red curry but really enjoyed. Even the presentation had a thoughtful touch. The rice came shaped like a heart. After trying red curry in hundreds of restaurants, I can confidently say this is now my number one. For an appetizer and entree, plus the overall quality of the experience, I thought the pricing was completely reasonable. My full meal came to around $45, and considering the quality of the food, the portion sizes, the atmosphere, and the service, I felt like I got exactly what I paid for. Excellent atmosphere, excellent service, excellent food. I travel constantly and eat at a LOT of restaurants, and this is one I will absolutely remember and gladly return to.
