We did not get to dine in but from the look of the line it's quite a coveted Pittsburgh gem! We decided to order online and did have a 1.5-2 hour wait for our food to be ready for pick-up but we expected it. The pick-up adjacent to the restaurant made the pick-up process seamless. The food: truly incredible we order the sum tum (papaya salad), Chiang Mai curry/ khao soi with chicken, and the khao Panang curry beef. Everything was to die for. read more

I've been to Noodlehead a number of times and it's always amazing. Tips: Parking sucks, be prepared. It is cash only. It's BYOB but they only charge a 75 cents recycling fee. You must have your entire party present to be sat. Food is amazing, service is quick. The inside is full of plants and is adorable. And Millie's ice cream next door is a plus! read more

It was okay. I got Street noodles #2. It was overly lime flavored and the shrimp tempura was extremely dry. I honestly dont get the hype of this place. The menu is very small, the food is dry, the dumpings were good and my fiancés dish was good but mine left A LOT to be desired I liked the ambiance and the vibe. Loved that it's BYOB. Was able to bring a bottle of wine and enjoy it. Honestly, just cheap mediocre food. Will go back but will try something else to see if my mind is changed Service was okay. At first we were given a lot of attention and then we were ignored for the rest of the meal Cash only & ATM on site - this is not an issue. I don't understand why people are leaving a bad review just for that for 2 entrees, 1 app, tip, plus byob $1.50 fee combined- total was only $41! Very cheap date night. I see that appeal read more

Noodle head is a small but mighty establishment with food and service that really delivers. I ordered my usual Thai favorite, chicken pad see yew. They give you the option of what level of spice you would prefer. Given my palette that can only be equated to that of an infant, I chose a level 0 on the spice scale. That meant I was relying fully on the flavor to come through and it sure did. Not to mention that value you are getting considered the portion size to price ratio. If you like Thai, then noodle head is your place to be. Don't forget that noodle head is a cash only establishment. read more

Noodlehead is one of those places where quality and value of the food is so much higher than the cost. I ordered crab rangoons and street noodles #1 and both were excellent! Best part is that both of these were under $20 combined! It's hard to find Thai food of this quality for a lower price. I was really impressed with how fast the service was! Within 2 minutes of us order the crab rangoons they were at the table. Our server was very personable. One of the subtle things I loved about NoodleHead is that even with how busy the space is, it's still really easy to hold conversations with your table. This is a great place if you want to chat and not have to shout across the table. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Had a delicious belated birthday dinner here with my uncle. We each enjoyed an order of the crispy veggie spring rolls. I had the Street Noodle #2 at a spice level 1. The tempura shrimp was so good and the spice level gave it some extra flavor, I think next time I'll try a spice level 2 for some more kick. Service was very quick and friendly, this is definitely a casual place without extra bells and whistles which was fine with us. It was only semi-busy when we arrived so we were able to sit immediately. Just remember that it's cash only and they don't take reservations! read more

One of my go-tos. I always take visitors here because the food is always great, service is quick, and the ambiance is very nice without the high price tage. Everything is so yummy and large portions so I always have leftovers. I usually go for the street noodles, which are tangy and simple. I also love the crab rangoons, spring rolls, and Thai fried chicken. I love the decor and different seating options. The community tables are unique for Pittsburgh and I love the natural wood look. The servers have all been super nice and helpful with questions. It is also BYOB! There will be a bit of a wait on the weekend, but can always get in right away during the week. read more

Food was incredibly fresh and had an excellent flavor profile. It was extremely hot the day that we visited so I wish we were able to get ice with our water/drinks but other than that it was a perfect meal.

You pick the level of spiciness you want (I like my stuff spicy so I got the Thai hot). The price is super fair too. I cannot say enough good things about this place. Also the noodles just melt right in your mouth. Even though I got my food to go, this is totally a cool spot to dine & even dine alone..they have a nice spot with high stool seating at the window to people watch on the street while dining. Enjoy!!

I've been going here for years but I'm just finally getting around to writing a review. In short, this is definitely among the best Thai restaurants in Pittsburgh. I usually get the see yew chicken, but the pad Thai and street noodles are also very good. They are often busy with a wait for a table during peak mealtimes. The interior is modern styled and clean. Service is usually pretty prompt with wait times for food usually 10-15 minutes. They do offer takeout and online ordering, though it is cash only. They have an ATM on site if you don't have any cash. read more

I love Noodlehead. One of my favorite spots in Pittsburgh. Price is great, servings are large, ambiance is great, and staff is so friendly. I guarantee you will leave Noodlehead very, very satisfied. My favorite Thai dish is Khao Soi (Chiang Mai Curry) and I get it every time I come to Noodlehead and it is perfect every time. It's creamy, it's crunchy, and it's a little bit tart! Restaurant is usually pretty crowded on Friday/Weekend evenings (rightfully so), but not so crowded on a weekday for lunch. I no longer live in Pittsburgh, but I come back to visit often and I always make sure to come back here. read more

Went here for lunch the other day and cannot say enough good things about my experience. The service was great - attentive but not overbearing. I was taken aback - at first - when the server seating me asked right away if I needed a minute or if I knew what I wanted. Huh? I hadn't even seen the menu! BUT - I soon learned, most people coming in were regulars who knew exactly what they wanted. A good sign! I ordered some hot lemongrass tea - which was really flavorful and comforting in the face of a rainy, chilly day. The server assured me I could have all the refills I wanted - which was nice. I ordered the very popular Khao Soi (Chiang Mai Curry) which was fantastic! It came in a giant bowl - beautiful presentation with a lattice work of dry noodles on top that soften after you push them down into the bubbling hot, dreamy creamy yellow coconut curry sauce. Hello, Thai comfort food!!! I thought - good lord, I'll never finish all this food, but oh, YES, I did...I got shrimp, which were large, plump & juicy. Absolute YUM in a bowl. I was a little hesitant with "pickled mustard greens" - but they add depth to the bowl, and crispy shallots add a nice, light oniony savoriness. I'm already ready to go back -- always a good sign. The ambiance is nice -- kind of industrial chic with some Asian-esque twists. Really great experience. read more

I've been to Noodlehead multiple times now, and it's consistently excellent. I've tried several of the fried noodle dishes and they've all been incredible. Every appetizer is a banger too, so you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Portion sizes are just right, not overwhelming, but definitely satisfying. Service is super fast, and the staff is always friendly. Special shoutout to our server Ryan, who was especially kind and attentive. The atmosphere is crowded and fast-paced, especially on weekends, so be prepared for a bit of a wait. That said, the line usually moves quickly and the buzz adds to the energy if you're into a lively vibe. Prices are pretty standard for this kind of spot, but the flavor more than justifies the cost. This place continues to be one of my go-to recommendations in town. read more

Perfect little BYOB (bring your own bottle-cork fee) noodle spot! Cozy inside, and a few tables outside if you'd like to be outdoors instead. We've gone twice now, on busy weekend nights after 8:30pm and quickly seated (2-10mins). The service was regular and kind. They give you a bottle of water you can serve yourself, and our food comes out quick. Highly recommend the Thai iced tea if you get a spicy meal. I got level 1 (a nice little heat, I think I could have handled a 2), hubby got level 3 (he considered it very slight kick, to me it was my max hot level!) We can't wait to come back! read more

Popular spot and they can bring the heat if you ask for it. Cash only. Relatively affordable at $12.50 a dish. Chiang Mai Curry 3/5 Creamy and fragrant curry with plentiful noodles, but not the most balanced in terms of flavor. The curry was much too sweet and salty and I couldn't get into it unfortunately. Kee mao chicken 4/5 Overall, really great flavor and I'd honestly order again. Good amount of chicken mixed in too. My one dislike was the noodles.

SECRET: Sign on at 7:00:00 exactly 30 days before the day you want to go. Pick your time but don't be tardy. I'm told that bar seating is often available for walkups. Table seating as well some days. My guess is that is especially true when the weather is good. After all they would have to have extra table seating for those scheduled to dine in the unprotected garden. We ate out in the garden as is our preference. Went with the Khao Yum and Crispy Shrimp and would order again. No complaints at all. This is a superb dinning venue even for a group of six. Street parking can be tricky but doable.

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.

The curry was especially good-rich, comforting, and full of flavor. The restaurant is a cute, hole-in-the-wall Thai spot that might be easy to miss, but it's definitely worth a visit. The prices were very reasonable-our lunch was actually cheaper than eating at the cafeteria at UPMC Children's, and the food tasted significantly better. If you're looking for tasty Thai food, friendly service, and a great value, this place is well worth checking out. We'll definitely be back!

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.

My recent visit to Noodlehead in Pittsburgh was nothing short of a culinary delight. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and inviting ambience that set the tone for a fantastic meal. I started my dining adventure with the Thai fried chicken, and I must say it was outstanding. The chicken was perfectly cooked, with a crispy exterior that gave way to tender, flavorful meat on the inside. The seasoning was spot on, striking a harmonious balance of spices that left my taste buds tingling with delight. Each bite was a burst of flavor, and I couldn't help but savor every morsel. Next up was the tofu fresh roll, and it exceeded my expectations. The rolls were beautifully presented, and the first bite revealed a delightful crunch followed by the freshness of the ingredients inside. The tofu was impeccably prepared, providing a wonderful contrast in textures. The accompanying dipping sauce added a tangy and slightly sweet note that complemented the rolls perfectly. What truly sets Noodlehead in Pittsburgh apart, besides its incredible food, is the impeccable service. The staff were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. They were happy to offer recommendations and accommodated special requests with a smile. Dining here feels like a personalized experience, and it's evident that the staff takes pride in ensuring guests have a memorable time. Noodlehead has become one of my go-to restaurants in Pittsburgh because of its consistency in delivering exceptional food and service. I've had the pleasure of trying their noodle dishes on previous visits, and I can confidently say that they never disappoint. Whether you're a fan of Thai cuisine or just looking for a memorable dining experience in Pittsburgh, Noodlehead is the place to go. In conclusion, my recent visit to Noodlehead in Pittsburgh was a gastronomic journey filled with outstanding flavors, fresh ingredients, and a welcoming atmosphere.
