For Thai food, I can't recommend this restaurant enough. Many vegan options-- tom kha and tom yum soups, for example. Even the fried rice can be prepared without egg. (Go for the spicy fried rice!) In fact, most of the entrees can be made vegan with tofu as the protein option. But there is plenty for the meat eater as well as pescatarians. I eat fish in occasion and the salmon mango curry is incredible! The decor is okay- not fancy, but clean and comfortable. The service is good- generally friendly and prompt. It is BYOB. read more

Cute and cozy place with a welcoming vibe! Every dish was made to order and delicious. The service was great - kind and accommodating from our table to the tables around us. Would definitely recommend and shout out Stephanie :) read more

I've been going here for years. June does a fantastic job. She works very hard and I have never had a problem with the quality of food as it is always consistent, and she's very accommodating with me to make it to my liking. My favorite dish is The Drunken Noodles. I get it with shrimp and I add chicken for $3.00 more to get the best of both, and the portion is just enough. I've also gotten the appetizer Chicken Sauté with peanut sauce for dipping. Delicious! To finish it off, I get their Thai Iced Tea. Sometimes two. Lastly, Thai Spoon is a great place to eat. The restaurant is very clean and organized, and the staff does a great job in person and on the phone. If you order delivery, it's also very quick. If and when you try Thai Spoon, I hope you'll let others know, and I hope my review helped. Enjoy! read more

Thai Spoon - Drunken Noodles with chicken & shrimp. Amazing. Always consistent and delicious. June and her staff do a great job! - Thai Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Best Thai food in Pittsburgh, my whole family tried and loves the Thai fried rice, the red curry is delicious, and Tom Kha was my favorite soup here. Workers are very polite and accommodating. June the owner/chef was very warm and welcoming. There were beautiful paintings, flowers, and statues around the restaurant and it was comfy. Highly recommend you will not be disappointed if you come here. read more

Definitely the best Thai food in the South Hills, and we have tried them all We were instantly greeted by a friendly server upon arrival. He was very attentive and kept our waters filled. Our food came out quickly. Great service all around! I asked our server what his favorite noodle dish was and he suggested the Drunken Noodles. It was delicious!! I had planned on bringing home leftovers but it was too good to not finish there! It was a great experience and I cannot wait to go back! read more

Very nice Thai restaurant! I wasn't aware of this spot until recently, so I'm very glad I found this gem. They have many of the classic Thai dishes for a reasonable price. I tried out their pad see ew with tofu and the black sticky rice with custard. The pad see ew was very good. They definitely loaded up this dish with tons of vegetables, including fresh broccoli, cabbage, carrots, and more! The noodles were perfectly cooked and they used quite a lot of sauce, which I like. A decent amount of egg, although I would have preferred a bit more. The black sticky rice with custard was near perfect. They had the lovely coconut to pour on top, which added a perfect hint of sweet and savory to it. The custard was perfect, the rice was delicious, it just really hit the spot. All in all, this is a great Thai spot. Both of the items I tried, the pad see ew and the black rice with custard, were delicious. Definitely recommend! read more

Delicious! I am usually very fond of Nicky's Thai Kitchen, but I moved into the area recently I was looking for a Closer Thai food option. This place does not disappoint. Everything was flavorful and fresh ! Service was on point as well! read more

I went here with some friends for dinner and we enjoyed our meal - the food was good (we enjoyed the green curry, seafood curry, and choo chee fish though I would skip the fried tofu appetizer next time as it wasn't very flavorful) and came out quickly, and the service was very warm and welcoming. I could see how it would be a go-to spot for somebody who lives in the area! I also love that it's BYOB - they supplied us with wine glasses which I thought was nice, and it was only a $2 charge/glass and no corking fee. read more

The absolute best Thai in Pittsburgh. Had it for the first time last night. Could not wait 24 hours for it to open so I could order it again. It's that good. Addictively good. June nails the true Thai flavors and everything was prepared perfectly with the freshest ingredients. I can't believe I've missed this for so long. Don't make my mistake. read more

This is the best Thai food we've ever had in Pittsburgh. The owner and chef, June, has blessed Dormont for many years with her flavorful dishes and we could not be more grateful to her. We eat out sparingly, but when we do it's often her curries, drunken noodles, Thai basil rice, pad Thai, pad see ew, and tom kha. Please support June, she is a Pittsburgh treasure. Also, it's BYOB! read more

The crispy spring rolls had a great crunch and paired well with the plum sauce. The sauce was thinner and a bit of a kick. The Zapp Noodle Soup with fried tofu and veggies is similar to pho with a simpler flavor, as there aren't as many spices. This is a Thai version of chicken noodle soup. The tofu held up well in the soup and was still firm. The veggies consisted of carrots, broccoli, and Chinese cabbage. I got spice level 3 and would bump that up one more if you want more of a kick. Perfect for a cold and rainy night. read more

Thai Spoon - N51. Zapp Noodle Soup - Thai Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

On a scale of documentaries to romances, Thai Spoon is the novel Teal Paisley Tights with quirky and delightful flavors. Thai Spoon offers a decently-sized dining room, but our waiter Alexander is who truly made the experience extra marvelous. It was a slow night, and we had the dining room to ourselves though many stopped to pick up to-go. Try the Golden Triangle appetizers! On a whim, my partner and I ordered them, and they are the most delicious surprise of turmeric! We also enjoyed our entire meal, and we highly recommend the Salmon Mango Curry as well as the Spicy Duck! While parking can be a bother, it's not hard to find, and it's generally free around the dinner hour. read more

I've always loved this place- however I can't be more disappointed that when I did DoorDash the food was in a cardboard box. For those that don't know- THIS MAKES THE FOOD TASTE LIKE THE CARDBOARD! Maybe this is saving the environment? read more

I was pleasantly surprised by the food here. It was nothing short of amazing. Great flavors and preparation. The service was ok and the restaurant itself is a little dated but who cares when the food is that good. Will definitely be back again. read more

This place is byob.m which is nice. I was craving pho but they didn't offer that so I got a beef noodle soup. It was bland, not much flavor for broth so I added some fish sauce and chili pepper to it and it was ok. I ordered pork toast but they didn't have any but still charged us. They did take it off. I asked for some hosin sauce and the waitress kept reminding me that it's not a Chinese or Vietnamese restaurant so they don't have some of the sauces I was asking for to make my noodles better. My friend ordered a tofu dish and she said she loved it but she ordered that every time she goes. I'm sure the waitress (Caucasian lady) was on some kind of drug lol but she was nice enough and assist when we needed her. I would try this place again but not order noodle soup from here. read more

Thai Spoon - Beef noodle soup. Not pho. It was bland - Thai Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

This is my favorite Thai spot!!! I have tried the three major ones in Mt Lebanon / Dormont area and I loved this place ! The staff is extremely friendly- we ordered to-go but almost regretted not having the opportunity to be waited on after seeing the enjoyable way the staff interacted with their customers. The beef pad see ewe and shrimp pad Thai were awesome!!! They will bring on the spice if you ask. Small, quaint little place tucked into a cobblestone street in the Dormont area... but so worth it! Give it a try. Also, order an appetizer of crab Rangoon! You will not regret. read more

After reading a couple reviews, I wanted to give Thai spoon a shot. I usually order from My Thai, but I thought we'd try something new for dinner. You know the saying if it's not broke, don't fix it? That's how I feel about my situation. Totally regretted ordering from Thai spoon. I can only speak for the delivery as I have never been to the actual restaurant, but man was it disappointing. The delivery also took longer than expected. I got a notification that my order had been picked up and on its way, but it took 25 minutes to get to my house when i live just a few blocks over. As for the food, thumbs down. I got the Tom yum and it was terrible. It tasted like hot sour water. I've had Tom yum many many other places so I can be certain it was not supposed to taste like that. I had to throw it away. My husband got one of the Curry's, which was supposed to have no peanuts, but did. He wasn't impressed with the flavor of it either. Conclusion... would I order from here again? Probably not. I will stick with My Thai, which is excellent! read more

Thai Spoon - The worst Tom yum noodle soup I've ever had. Broth is sour & tastes absolutely nothing like any Tom yum I've had other places - Thai Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

There are times when a person finally needs to post a review after several bad experiences with a restaurants food. My wife and I have continued to support this business even when we have ordered food that was not consistent with previous experiences. The most recent experience was ordering Phad Thai that tasted like liquid smoke was added to it. I called the restaurant asking if they had any dish that had a Smokey flavor. When they confirmed there was no dish on the menu with that flavor profile I asked why a peanut sauce dish would taste like smoke. The person attempted to blame it on the spice level , and as a person who orders the maximum Thai spice level everywhere I order it was obvious this was not only a poor experience but the food was prepared incorrectly. My wife and I will never order from this restaurant. read more

My favorite question to ask locals "what's your favorite Thai spot" most think I'm crazy... but it's important to know! Ok so, atmosphere is nice and right along the main drag in Dormont (yes, where parking can stink) also, I love that this restaurant is BYOB. Food however, not my favorite in Dormont (STILL GREAT, just not the BEST!) I've tried several items here and all of them just seem to fall a bit short of My Thai (sorry, it's my absolute favorite) read more

This is honestly one of my favorite restaurants of all time, every item on the menu is delicious and always consistent. The service is always so nice and sweet even if they are swamped. Classic old school restaurant with not a ton of seating but you know your getting a great meal every time you go. read more

I liked this place. The food is delicious and service was great. The young lady server was trying so hard to be particular that she came off as scared. Poor thing. But she was great. Parking is tough bc it's the city and ambience and decor should probably be updated at some point otherwise, food and service is great and that's what's important. Recommended. read more

I'm always in search of good Thai and sometimes it can be hard to find because most places are all the same, just sort of mediocre. But I'm not really sure why it took me this long to find this place! My mom suggested it and we went on a random Thursday. The place had two tables taken when we walked in but the later the night went, the more people came. I can't lie, though, I was a little put off by the inside appearance at first but do not judge a book by its cover (or in this case, it's inside??). Thai Spoon has all of the staples of a Thai restaurant- pad Thai, Thai basil, Tom yum/kha, drunken noodles, summer rolls, etc. I am also set on finding the best Tom Kha in the city and up until today I thought I had but nope, Thai Spoon hit it on the nose for me! It's my absolute favorite soup. So of course I ordered a cup and my mom ordered the summer rolls. Summer rolls were fresh and delicious. My soup was for sure the best I've had. Creamy and a bit sour, and lots of big mushrooms, chicken and cilantro. I'm NOT a mushroom lover - I'm a mushroom hater, but I will eat them in this soup because I love it that much, especially when they're in bigger cuts like this and not small and slimey. Also my soup was spice 2 because I don't like it too hot. Perfect spice level. For our entrees my mom ordered the Thai basil chicken at a 7 and I ordered spicy fried rice at a 5. I could've went higher but wasn't sure how spicy they did their food. My mom's 7 wasn't bad at all, we even used their spice rack. If you love spicy food, you could definitely do their 10. The flavors of both dishes were spot on. Although they both could've done with a little more Thai basil, they were steaming hot and delicious. We both ate ALL of our food and had none for leftovers because it was honestly that good. Lastly, the service was great. The people who work there are very kind and quick. Our drinks were always full and our table was always cleared when need be. It's safe to say we will be back! read more

Very good quality of Thai Cuisine. Portions are nice and it's BYOB. Street parking is sparse and hours of operation are quite limited. Be careful with your bill. They have been known to add random hidden charges into it like... a dollar for no spice. Refills not included. Little things that you probably won't pay attention to pop up so just be observant. read more

Thai Spoon - Charged $1 for "not spicy". You have got to be kidding me... - Thai Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

We ordered the Pad Sew Ew with chicken, a Tom Yum soup level 8 spice and chicken satay. None of the food had any flavor. The chicken satay was watery and had no flavor. The peanut sauce is watered down and doesn't taste like peanuts. The soup with level 8 spice was for my wife. I would never be able to even have a sip of it was truly a level 8 spice. I took a sip and again, no flavor and it was very oily and it wasn't even a level 1 spice. Absolutely do not go by the ratings on GrubHub. If we could send the food back, we would have. read more

My husband and I dropped in for dinner tonight. We saw good reviews on Yelp and were in town, so we decided to give it a shot. Our service from the beginning wasn't great. They weren't that busy inside but we barely saw our server. It seemed we were constantly waiting for her to come back. The food itself was good. They had fried veggie dumplings on special so we tried them. They were decent, but a bit lacking in flavor. We both ordered the pad Thai. They ask you to choose your spicy ness on a scale of 1-10. I ordered a 7. I was disappointed that it wasn't spicy at all. The food was good - very peanuty in flavor. I just wish it was spicier and thought it should have been. I probably would have given it 4 stars if the service had been better. Overall a decent experience, but I felt a little bit like it left something to be desired. read more

Thai Spoon - Vegetable pad Thai with tofu - Thai Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Updated review: this was my favorite spot in southern Pittsburgh to order food.. I'm not sure if the normal woman who cooks was off or what... 100 dollars mostly in the trash... drunken noodles, no flavor and soggy over cooked noodles, pad Thai no flavor and super dry... , steamed dumplings were okay, except I ordered extra sauce that never came... (it's less than an ounce, I'd gladly pay for it, though not an option on yelp delivery).... And the Thai teas would have been good... no straws delivered though.. so save the turtles I guess is the silver lining of this 100 dollars I just threw in the trash. read more

Worst conversation I've had all week. I called up to try and order vegan. The woman couldn't get out of her own way. She kept interrupting me, telling me about meals she'd enjoyed and kept telling me that I ordered certain things, which I hadn't. There's vegetarian chicken on the menu, but I gathered they don't actually have it. There's mock duck, but unclear if it was vegan. When I told her I'd hang up if she wasn't interested in listening, she still went on the same. Hung up. I'm not sure how you do business by acting like this, but it's 2020 and all the rules have changed. One star, since it proved impossible to order. read more

Really Great Thai! Pad Thai here is the best in Pittsburgh. It's not fancy or pretentious but it is good cooking! Good Noodles and Rice! Great for take out! Dine in is slow , but worth it. read more

People have been telling me about this place, so I grabbed a bottle of wine and went to see for myself. It's located on Potomac avenue in Dormont which is doesn't have much parking although we found a spot pretty quickly on a side street. The atmos is casual with cozy seating by the window. We started with Thai spring rolls with homemade plum sauce. They were crispy as stated filled w/ veggies. My friend and I each ordered a noodle dish One was Pad Thai and the other was Drunken Noodles. Both were flavorful, but I liked the Pad Thai better. It was a little spicier than the other though you can choose how much spice you want. I enjoyed the meal and there was enough for leftovers. I'll have to go back to try the desserts. The price is right, with many more menu choices including soups, curries, and house specialties with duck and steak. They do take reservations. read more

Terrible. No flavor in main dish of chicken satay and pad see ew with chicken. No lemongrass or galanga or flavor in Tom yum soup, even the spice (level 8) was not spicy. Overall, a really disappointing and expensive try. Definitely do NOT recommend. Ordered on Grub Hub, which gave it 4.9 rating ~ not sure who reviewed it, but they certainly didn't know Thai food! Pass. read more

One of my favorite Thai restaurants in Pittsburgh. I usually order the Pad Thai but thought I should mix it up. I ordered the spicy chicken fried rice level 5 and it was delicious! The wait was shorter than expected and came out hot. I love a little kick to my food and the level 5 spice was perfect for me. read more

Thai Spoon - Spicy fried rice with chicken - Thai Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Truthfully, I wasn't too impressed with the food but our waitress made the whole experience better. We came here on a Friday night and we were seated immediately. The place was a lot bigger than I had thought. Our waitress was super nice and friendly. For appetizer, we ordered the summer roll with shrimp. It was okay as I'm used to the Vietnamese version which tastes a bit better and has more meat/shrimp. For my entree, I got the drunken noodles with fried tofu. It was actually pretty good! The only thing is that I asked for spice level 4 (1 to 10 scale) and it was a bit too spicy for me. The main reason that we came here for dinner was for the mango sticky rice dessert!! I was so excited for this! To my disappointment, it was not good at all. The sticky rice was hard and a bit sweet but the savory sauce on top was just not good. We did enjoy the fresh mango. I would not recommend the dessert. Overall, our waitress was really nice and attentive and made sure that everything was good. read more

Thai Spoon - Green Curry with Chicken level 8 Spicy - Thai Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Thai Spoon is one of those restaurants that never disappoints -- consistently good food and service every time. I've eaten there often, but I'm motivated to leave this review today because of an online order my family placed last night. Several special requests and substitutions, on a busy Friday night, and not a single thing was wrong. If you are in the South Hills looking for good Thai food, this is the place for you. read more

With no plans and a girlfriend recovering from surgery, I decided to treat my family to an Asian takeout banquet, so there was no better choice than to once again choose a nearby restaurant I haven't reviewed yet: Dormont's Thai Spoon. Thai Toast, Seafood Bangkok, Drunken Noodles with shrimp, Thai Spring Rolls, and Thai Summer Rolls filled our dining room table. Man, do Summer Rolls perplex me, the non-Siamese. When I first get a look at them, they resemble pouches of diaphanous plastic wrap full of greens, noodles, and protein, that is until I remember that the weird, gummy membrane is supposed to be rice paper. These quasi-invisible egg rolls were acceptable, but the peanut dipping sauce certainly saved them from the gastronomic doldrums. However, I imagine that they're a mighty salutary appetizer sans the sauce. Another eccentric starter, one I know for sure I've never had before, came in the shape of triangles. Thai Toast is what it's called, and toast it definitely what it resembles. The "combination of minced chicken and shrimp" didn't really come through much, and once again, the sauce, this time a sweet one of saccharine chili, enlivened these crispy pieces of pan-fried bread just like the peanut sauce did for the rolls. The entree and dessert I had, both sublime, made up for the simply adequate appetizers, vaulting Thai Spoon into "above average" domain. I didn't get to try the Drunken Noodles or the Spring Rolls, but Seafood Bangkok, my main course, was such a subaquatic, Lenten smash, I didn't feel much of a need to have anything else. Shrimp, mussels (!), calamari (!!), fish, and baby scallops jumped into a scalding slampit with bell peppers, basil, ginger, garlic, onion, carrots, celery, and egg only to be tossed around in a forcible, fairly fatty, flavescent gravy of Turmeric. Each oceanic morsel was supple and absorbed the South Asian spice to savorous effect. Dessert was yet another oddity in the Black Sticky Rice. Almost ominous and baleful to look at, the BSR merely came off as a benevolent hybrid of rice pudding and pumpkin pie. Being that this was a takeout dessert, it was not as ornately plated as it is for dine-in and required some assembly at home. The "thai custard" (the 'pumpkin-ish' component) came in globs placed in styrofoam with a milky coconut (?) sauce to be drizzled over it and the onyx rice, which was still warm and wrapped in foil. Once it was all put together, this strange dessert instantly made sense and was even assuaging in that its creaminess soothed my enflamed palate. So there you have it: an old, tired pizza joint whose name I couldn't remember for 10 grand has been transformed into a haven for what I feel is quality Thai...er Cuisine. Yes, that pun was semi-intentional as the folks behind Bloomfield's Thai Cuisine have courageously and successfully launched this second Thai restaurant in the unappreciated South Hills. Let's hope they become a fixture on Potomac Avenue. read more

A tiny place in Dormont with big flavors. If you're looking for affordable and tasty Thai food, stop by Thai Spoon. Mmm tofu pad Thai... I was excited when I saw this restaurant open up in my neighborhood. Now I'm sad that I'm so far away... UGH Thai Spoon why couldn't you move with me!?! The flavor, the HEAT - yes they ask from 1-10 how hot would you like it... To which I reply 8. BYOB with a small corkage fee is always a plus. I wouldn't recommend visiting with a large group, since the restaurant can't hold a lot of people. If you're looking for a nice dinner for 2-4, this is a great stop. Now I'm hungry... read more

Welcome to the neighborhood! What a nice addition..Potomac used to be lots of pizza (some not so good), a great bakery and one OK diner. No longer, along with Sugar that is celebrating it's 1st anniversary, TSpoon is a welcome addition. Yea! The staff was really cordial. Fun to talk to and able to answer our questions. Found out that this is the same family as Thai Cuisine which will open soon in Bloomfield, under renovations. Nice little place with black table cloths under glass. We shared the Salmon in Heaven and Green Curry with Shrimp. Both were good. The green curry was spiced just right with fresh veggies and the shrimp was cooked perfectly (nice and tender). The Salmon in Heaven was a little better, again cooked just right. The food was good, but maybe not quite as good as SBL or LBITS, Thai restaurants that are my favs. Will definitely return. Welcome, Welcome to the neighborhood! read more

Since we were on our way through Dormont, we figured we'd finally give Thai Spoon a chance. After all, the reviews were generally good. Unfortunately, our decent expectations were somewhat let down. We ordered edamame, crab rangoons, and summer rolls for appetizers. The edamame was...well...edamame. Not much to comment on there, and the crab rangoons were good. My wife and I were divided on the summer rolls, though. I felt that they had way too much lettuce, which took away from the basil flavor, and also made them huge for summer/fresh spring rolls. The wife liked them because of her love of lettuce. They also came with a peanut dipping sauce, which was good, but also seemed too heavy for the lightness of a summer roll. It was a juxtaposition that I'm not sure that I liked. Neither of our meals really did anything for us. She ordered the chicken pad thai - spicy level 3 - but definitely received a meal in the 5-7 range. She could barely eat it as she's not a spicy foods person, but tried to soldier through anyway. The flavors were decent, but no where near the best pad thai that we've had in Pittsburgh. The first thing i noticed was that but the noodles were undercooked, too...NOT a great first impression for a NOODLE dish. I tried the spicy basil with chicken. I ordered a spice level of 5, but we're thinking they mixed up our two spice levels, as my meal was as mild as you could ever want. The flavors were good, but the most noticeable thing missing, aside from the lack of heat, was the lack of basil flavor that I love in Thai basil dishes. I essentially had a normal chicken vegetable stir fry that I could've made at home. Tastes were decent, but far from what we were hoping for. The service was great, though, and I'm a sucker for little dive-y places, but I don't see myself traveling to Dormont to eat there again. If I'm in the area, sure, but it's hardly worth going out of your way for. read more

I loved this place so much! I definitely think they're a top contender for plain-ole good Thai food in the city! The place is very cute inside. It is comfortable, clean, and casual-classy, but inviting. The staff is very nice and you can see their true willingness to make good product. We started our meal with crab rangoons, which were excellent! We then both got the pad thai and I thought it was fantastic. It wasn't smothered in sauce that drowned the wonderful vegetables and noodles, but instead coated them perfectly. It's a great and welcome addition to Dormont! ps... it's BYOB! read more

Thai Spoon - Thai Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

This is definitely one of my favorite places to get Thai! The atmosphere is intimate but casual. The staff had always been friendly and I've never had a bad experience. It's not usually too busy during the week but it was when we went on a Saturday nice so a reservation could be helpful especially because it is small. This is also a great place to get takeout. There is parking in a lot behind the building. Prices are good as well and comparable to most very reasonable places I think. My husband and I can both eat including desserts for less than $50. Most entrees are under $10 but you get a lot of food. I always have leftovers. BYOB! My favorite part about this place is the food though! I always get red curry because it's just my absolutely favorite anytime I get Thai food. I've tried the green curry which is also delicious. My preference is for extra vegetable and tofu but the shrimp is also cooked well. As far as apps go, I've had the summer rolls and fried tofu. Both good but would try other apps next time. The curry is what keeps me coming back! The spice scale is 1-10. 2 is almost no heat. 3 is where the heat starts I think. I like some spice but not unbearable spice so 3-4 is my pick. As far as desserts go, I love the sticky rice. It is different but if you've never had it, you should definitely try it. The banana spring rolls with ice cream were just okay in my opinion and I prefer the rice. I hope everyone loves this place as much as I do! read more
