Delicious Thai food! Everything in the menu is delicious so you can't go wrong with anything you choose. From their beverages, their soups and their entree dishes. Their Tom Yum and Tom Kha, both of these soups are delicious! As for their beverages, their thai teas are the best I have had to date. Delicious! I always get two because I am always craving and wanting a second one. They accompany the main dishes so well. All of their curry dishes are also scrumptious, so if you love curry, you will not go wrong with any of their curry plates. Their pad Thai is also very very delicious. I also like the fact that the dishes are not very large, they are the perfect amount of food for one person to eat. As for the restaurant, the interior of the restaurant is beautiful! The restaurant is very clean, chique and beautiful. I love the photographs that are hung around the restaurant. Staff is also always very amiable and attentive. Since, discovering this Thai restaurant, I have dined here several times and intend to dine here even more in the future. Even if its just to pick up their delicious Thai drinks. read more

The absolute most delicious Thai food I have ever had the chance to taste in my life! There's really no other way to describe the dishes at Senyai. The reputation precedes itself for sure and perfectly displays what it is to have authentic Thai. I was recommended this place by a co-worker and had learned that the co-owner (Gary) was also a co-worker (what a coincidence!) So after reading as well as hearing multiple positive reviews, I decided to make a reservation and head in. Situated in a quaint and cozy neighborhood, Senyai had a welcoming feel to it. The decor was modern and lively, and the sensual scents of fried rice, noodles and fresh herbs graced my nose as soon as I entered. We were able to snag a seat for two right by the window right before the dinner rush, so reservations are a strong suggestion. I started with the spring rolls, which tasted as if they were prepared by only a top-skilled chef with crisp carrots, spring mix and cool cucumbers. The peanut dipping sauce was an excellent compliment and the portion size of 8 was more than worth the price. I also recommend the Thai herb wings, absolutely cooked to perfection. I followed with the crab fried rice on a plate that was big enough to feed 3! Huge chunks of hot, steamy crab filled the soft but sticky fried rice. It was absolutely amazing! My fiancee ordered the Si-Ew with chicken and loved every bit of it there and the next day. BYOB was only a few bucks which made our experience even that much more enjoyable. Senyai definitely lived up to the hype and I reminisce the tastes of it almost everyday. I want to thank Gary, his wife and their team for a superb dining experience. We can't wait to stop back. read more

Loved the aesthetic, small but cozy. I would definitely recommend, the wings were so delicious I had to get seconds!! The purple lemonade was simple and I had simple syrup because it comes unsweetened. The main entree Si Ew was very good as well, personally not a fan of the noodles. They just taste slightly over cooked but overall this place was fantastic! Also I have to shoutout to the server she was so sweet and kind, she made sure we had everything we needed and was respectful and mindful!! read more

Senyai Thai Kitchen was wonderful. We had a table of five people, and everyone loved what they ordered. The service also was great. We appreciated that the spice levels are uncomplicated: 1, 2, and 3. I had the Pad Medmamuang and would highly recommend it for people who do not like a lot of spice. The next time, I will try the Senyai Sesame Noodles. However, I will order it at a Level 1 spice, rather than the 2 that our daughter ordered. Our family is looking forward to returning soon. read more

We came a little before noon and were the first customers. I loved sitting in the nook by the windows. The interior design is definitely one of my favorite parts of the restaurant! Nothing beats eating yummy food in a nice environment. The hung lay curry had so much flavor! I had 1 for spicy level and it was perfect, not too spicy but it had a nice kick. It's a bit pricey for lunch though. Also since it's in an older house, it was a bit chilly sitting on hard chairs without padding. We stayed a while after we paid and didn't feel rushed to leave. We had a great time here and would definitely come back. read more

Senyai Thai Kitchen - Duck curry and hung lay curry - Thai Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Definitely a great place for Thai food! I'm a huge fan of Thai food and am working my way through trying all the places in the city. This was the first place I tried, along with my family. We ordered an order of Red Curry, Green Curry, Pineapple Curry, and Vegetable Pad Thai. As we were ordering, the first thing to note is that it was not cheap. However, the portion sizes when we got them were also generous. All of us ordered medium spicy and really enjoyed the flavors of all the food. My go-to at Thai restaurants tends to be either Pad Thai or Red Curry but here, the Pineapple Curry stole the show! Not to say that the rest of the food wasn't great, but the pineapple curry had a great balance of sweet and spicy and I would definitely recommend it! Basically, if you're okay with a slightly pricey meal, give this place a try! It'll probably be worth it and it's always nice to have leftovers to eat the next day! read more

Once I find a good and trusted Thai restaurant, it's really hard for me to break away and try something else. Which is why I've been on or near Ellsworth Avenue without ever checking out Senyai. Last night, when I met up with a friend for dinner, I righted that wrong. We shared tofu summer rolls which were delightfully fresh and flavorful. I ordered the crab fried rice while my friend got the eggplant with chicken. Both were delicious. The spice was never overwhelming, it was just enough to add a dimension to our dishes. The crab fried rice went beyond my expectations in terms of portions - the dish was big and there was a lot of high quality crab meat throughout. Needless to say I'm so glad we postponed our brunch date to dinner, and that she introduced me to my new essential Thai restaurant in Pittsburgh. Bonus: the interior is adorable. Both cozy and bright. read more

Wow I was impressed by Senyai Thai Kitchen. My wife and I were planning on visiting another Thai restaurant but we ended up deciding to go with this one. For one this restaurant is on one of our favorite streets that has a few of our favorite restaurants so we knew this had to be a good place! Also we saw that they got a lot of good reviews on Yelp so we were expecting something good and it really was! First of all this is BYOB with a corkage fee of $5 for wine and $1 for beer. Lunch is served between 11am and 2pm Monday through Saturday. When you walk in it's bright inside and a nice modern atmosphere. It was inviting and a little small but not too small. We got good seats along the window. Our waitress was nice and gave us time to figure out what we wanted to order. She went over the specials for the day and did a good job. We started off with their Shrimp and Pork dumpling for an appetizer. I thought they were delicious. My wife is the bigger dumpling fan in our family but I really enjoyed them too. For my dinner I ordered the Senyai Moo Sup with Chicken. You can ask for hot, medium, or mild. We both asked for medium but our waitress brought out the hot one if we wanted to add to it. My wife did use the extra heat but I didn't need to. About fifteen minutes after we ordered our dinner came out. It looked really good and it was delicious. I was really hungry so I cleaned my plate. I ate slow so that I could savor it and so that I wouldn't finish my food and just watch my wife eat hers. The flavor was great, the wide noodles were yummy, and overall a great dish. My only complaint is for the price of the food I would expect a little more on the plate. I was still a little hungry after and that was on top of splitting the appetizer with my wife. Still this Is a great Thai place to visit if you haven't yet and I really do want to come back for more! read more

I had a gift card for Grubhub so I decided to use it to order dinner for my boyfriend and I tonight. All I can say is, I'm so glad I used a gift card and not my own money. We were both extremely disappointed with how bland our noodles were. We got the Kee mao with tofu (mild) and sesame noodle with tofu (mild). While I realize we got mild, the noodles were lacking flavor all around, not just spice. The kee mao honestly tasted like it had no sauce and just a bit of red pepper on it. My boyfriend had to add extra soy sauce and other extras to make it worth eating. These dishes were not worth the money. They're $18 each with tofu, and we would have preferred chicken, but that was an additional $3. Save your money and go to the most popular Thai restaurant in Shadyside. Super confused because of the current reviews and it smelled good when we picked it up. read more

Found this great Thai place in Shadyside. Service and ambiance were great! Pad Thai is on point! BYOB. I usually frequent the number 1 Thai restaurant in Pittsburgh but wanted to venture out of my comfort zone and this place is on par with it! I will be back to try more items. read more

Closing time was 9- we arrived at 8:30 and ordered immediately. The server said we could still get desert and suggested mango sticky rice. I said that that sounds wonderful. The server never checked on us once. The tofu pad Thai ordered was tasty but I ordered tofu and vegetables- no vegetables were in the dish. I tried to get the attention of servers to see about ordering a side of vegetables and order the desert- no one came until 9 with a bill. I asked if we could still get the desert but was met with resistance. Cute place, but no attention or service from servers. read more

Senyai has become our go-to place for Thai food in Pittsburgh, even though we have to drive a good bit for it! The interior is clean and well-lit, and the staff is always working to make us comfortable whenever we visit. Don't be put off by the lack of parking on Ellsworth--head around back to park in the Senyai lot! The food is good, and many dishes can be made completely without spicy heat, a fact that my girlfriend appreciates. The Kee Mao noodles were quite tasty, and anything with duck has proven to be delicious. We will keep coming back again and again! read more

Decided to try this place as we were wanting to try another Thai restaurant in this area. Absolutely delicious food here and the service was wonderful. The crispy rolls and peanut sauce are delicious and the duck curry was so tender and just enough spice to make the visit here well worth it. If you have a chance go to Senyai and enjoy a wonderful meal. read more

I've been to this restaurant in person and ordered delivery several times. We really enjoy the pad Thai here, the mussaman curry and the pumpkin curry which is excellent. The steamed dumplings, rangoons, and Tom Kha soup are all good for appetizers. Hands down some of my favorite Thai food in the city. I look forward to being able to go back! read more

It's a very cute and small restaurant, fits 19 people :) I had the pad keep mao with tofu, chicken satay, and custard with sticky rice. Everything was okay, not amazing but not bad. I would try the custard again though. That was yummy :) read more

Top quality food; a deft, light touch in the kitchen. Flavors are complex, yet subtle. A real value, especially when you BYOB.

Best Thai in Pittsburgh easily. The Mussaman Curry with chicken, fresh rolls, crispy rolls, wings and pad see ew are all EXCELLENT. love senyai! I've never had anything bad and I've pretty much covered the menu over the last 5 years. But the above mentioned are my favorites. Portions are smaller than some of their competitors but so delicious I couldn't care less. read more

We ordered Grubhub tonight and we were so surprised how delicious it was. Some Thai food is heavy and too oily but not our food. The fried tofu was delicious, as well as, basil fried rice, pad kee mao, and hung lay curry. Highly recommend. read more

We ordered take out from here over the weekend and it was delicious! The shrimp in the pad see ew was sooo good! and the pumpkin curry was perfect for a fall night. The fresh spring rolls had all the greens in them and the dipping made for a perfect combo! read more

Senyai Thai Kitchen - Thai Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

A friend mentioned that she has heard good things about Senyai Thai Kitchen so we checked it out on a recent visit to Shadyside. The three of us ordered the Eggplant with Chicken, Pumpkin Curry with Tofu, Senyai Moo Sup with pork and the special Mango Salad with Shrimp. All four dishes were fantastic. We didn't think it could get any better but when the Custard with Sticky Rice and Taro Custard came out we were blown away. They were incredible. We had ordered a Pumkin with Coconut dessert as well, but sadly they were sold out. I guess we will have to come back :). On top of incredible food, the staff are friendly, professional, and efficient. If we didn't live south of Seattle, WA we would be back often!! read more

Cute restaurant with delicious food! Our server was extremely knowledgable and provided helpful recommendations on the items available. I ordered a Thai iced green tea and it was amazing! My friend got the purple lemonade - which didn't have much taste to it (but they let us know prior to ordering), however it looked amazing and was definitely picture worthy. We also ordered the spring rolls (which I don't usually like tofu), the crispy rolls (which were delicious and I don't usually like mushrooms), Red Curry (amazing and perfectly spicy), Pad Thai - chicken and moowei (probably not spelled correctly). Highly recommend! read more

I went here a few weeks after it opened, so things may have changed since I came. I went with two other friends on a Friday night, so naturally it was pretty busy, and we were told it was a 45 minute wait. The servers were all pretty personable and friendly, but the wait was just too long for me. If I had to wait the same amount of time in the future, I'd probably not eat here. We ended up going to the nearby liquor store and getting a few ciders and drinking it while waiting since we were both bored and hungry. So here's the thing: the reason why the wait time is so long is because a lot of the parties are there with groups and are socializing over bottles of wine. Even though they finish their food, they are just chatting and drinking the wine, which ends up taking quite a while. So that's one thing to look out for. I got the pad thai, which tasted great! I have no complaints about the quality of the food, which was high. It was just too small for big boys like me. I finished it in around five minutes after waiting a little over and hour, partially because I was so hungry. The atmosphere was good, the place looks like a house and has a nail salon on the top but overall a nice feel if you're with friends. read more

I have to give props to Senyai Thai Kitchen. The menu is fairly extensive, and the food is worth hyping. I had the Pumpkin Curry with Mixed Seafood (This includes scallops, squid, and shrimp). Everything was well cooked and bursting with flavor. It is a personal goal of mine to try out every Thai place in the city, and Senyai ranks pretty high up there. From the Modern Minimalist decor to the helpful and courteous wait staff, this spot hits all the high notes! read more

I stopped over here for lunch and was seated right away by the window. Both the dinner and lunch menu were on my table. My waitress was very friendly and helpful although she had a little bit of trouble understanding me. The decor is exceptional with all types of artwork from Thailand on the walls. I knew that I wanted to order the eggplant stir-fried which comes with carrots, bell pepper, basil in a brown sauce. You get your choice of meat -chicken, pork, or tofu. If you want shrimp that is $2.00 extra. She asked me how spicy I wanted it and I always go with mild. With your meal you get a small crispy roll with sauce. This place is BOYB and they have a corkage fee. Take out is also available. They have one gender neutral restroom. Shortly afterwards, I got my spring roll first which was indeed delicious. Shortly after that I got my main course with a heaping mound of white rice. If you want another type of rice you can get that for a slight upcharge. There was only one other person in the room and she was enjoying Pad Thai which i understand is their signature dish. She absolutely loved it and my meal was outstanding! The brown sauce provided just enough taste needed to make my lunch enjoyable. For my beverage I opted for the unsweetened green tea since I learned the Thai tea they add milk to it and it is already sweetened. I learned that cold drinks are non-refillable. Again be aware of that if you want more. Having read about their desserts I decided to opt for one. I had the custard with sweet sticky rice. I loved how they warmed the rice to make it seem like I was eating both something warm and cold at the same time. This is a charming Thai restaurant if you want to enjoy a Thai meal. The menu suggests no substitutions so that you can enjoy the Thai experience. Located on Ellsworth Ave near the bus way, you can find 2 hour street parking on Alder St nearby if you come during the day. Prices are reasonable and even the water glass I used had a unique design to it. Truly a great addition to the Shadyside area. read more

I love it! I have been wanted to try this place for awhile. Now, this review is for my Lunch to go experience. I got three entrees to share with my friends for lunch. I got pad see ew, pad kee mao, and their green curry. Oh wow everything is phenomenal and I don't think I have any criticism or suggestions. One of my favorite Thai places in Pittsburgh now. I will have to come back to actually have their dining experience. My friends are I wish we ordered more because we finished it so quickly. I highly recommended all three of these dishes. read more

Wish I had stumbled upon this place sooner, such a refreshing environment and delicious rendition of Thai food classics. We started with the spring roll appetizer, fresh and light, with peanut sauce that I finished off with a spoon! Next I went with the salmon stir fry in black pepper and jasmine rice, so amazing and satisfying! The flavors were bold, spicy, and delicious. Also tried some of the parang curry with chicken, I wouldn't know which one to recommend more! read more

Lovely little restaurant with delicious food! We travel extensively and like to try Thai restaurants in most major cities. This was by far one of the best! I ordered the Pad See Ew and the flavor was excellent, the noodles were tender and fresh. If we stayed in Pittsburgh longer we would have returned. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

After seeing other reviews and pictures of this restaurant, I had to stop in for a quick lunch. Very small seating area, but incredibly clean and very nice ambience. The staff were all very pleasant with everyone of them helping each other and smiling the whole time. I sat near the back of the restaurant towards the kitchen and took a few peaks of the kitchen work space. The kitchen was just as clean as the seating area, which is always a good sign. I loved seeing one of the cooks in the back preparing food by hand very meticulously. I ordered the Senyai Pad Kee Mao with a spice level 3(hottest level on menu). The food was incredible, very spicy, but without overwhelming or affecting the flavor of the dish at all. I have had quite a few Thai places in the city (6 others, I think) and this is by far my favorite experience I have had hands down! These people know how far customer service, cleanliness, and passion in their establishment and food can take them, and I expect them to be around for a very long time! I will be back, frequently. read more
