Super overpriced for Thai food and low quality. The meat was overcooked in both dishes, the spring rolls were dry, and it just felt like every dish was thrown together haphazardly. Constant loud cars driving by so the outdoor seating was a terrible atmosphere. You can get far better for far cheaper in Pittsburgh.

Went for the first time tonight. Staff was so nice and hospitable. The food was also unreal! Would definitely recommend to a friend.

WARNING: They will charge 20% Service Charge for 2 people. I ordered a Pad See Ew and my friend ordered some type of chef's special fish. The meals were both in good portions and very good minus the service charge that was already in the bill. Pad See Ew had good flavor and was sweet. I made it mild but couldn't taste any of the spice. I should have made it a little spicier.

First off this place is SMALL. If you like sitting arm to arm next to strangers (tables and chairs inches apart) then this is your place. I don’t recommend bringing babies in here… they don’t seem baby friendly to me as our waiter sat us at a table with me on one end and her on the other which just isn’t normal. She’s a small baby I needed to sit by her. They ended up moving us to a bigger table after I told them this would not work because we were jam packed next to people. Our waitress was NOT friendly at all. The Thai tea sucked so bad was really watered down and tasted like nothing. The spring rolls were double wrapped with rice paper and could tell we’re not fresh because the wrap was thick and gummy. I had to wash it down with the Thai tea while chewing to prevent from choking. I’ll add I’ve had spring rolls at many places before & these were the worst. My dish was Basil chicken with a spice level of 4 & it was really good… the rice was very sticky and not fluffy but I thought maybe that’s how Thai rice is?? I ordered some chicken teriyaki to go & it was just ok.. they don’t really cut there chicken up they just give you slabs of it. I ended up taking my dine in food to go because it was really loud in there & I just wanted to pay and leave. The waitress told me that I didn’t have to worry about leaving a tip because they do the 20% tip. Which I waited for her to bring me a to go box and ended up having to ask someone else because she just never came back. I wouldn’t have gave her $12 bucks that’s for damn sure. I had high hopes for this place but it just didn’t turn out.

Nicky's Thai is great Thai food. Dancing Crab Thai has better food, but Nicky's is my second choice. And this Nicky's location in the cultural district has great vibes. Outdoor seating is nice in the summer.

Very good Pad Thai. The atmosphere is great as well. The only negative is that they add a 20% service charge on all dining room orders. I much prefer to tip related to service I receive, not mandatory.

When you're away from home and missing steam rice, you find a place that has rice dishes. The crab fried rice is loaded with lots of real crab pieces. The Gaprow Lad Kao (ground chicken over rice) was average. Spiciness levels can be adjust from 1-5. Came here around 6pm on a Saturday night and was promptly seated at the bar. This place takes reservations but I was a walk in. Service is attentive and the food comes out quickly, the decor isn't lacking either. 20% service fee was added to my party of 2 bill.

Visited the Northside location. Dinner came out cold. No one stopped by to check. A 20 percent service charge was added to bill and then a tip was suggested on top of that. Fourth time at restaurant. This was the only negative experience.
** this restaurant has a 20% service fee** (not gratuity)Stopped at Nicky’s Thai kitchen for dinner my first night in Pittsburgh. Inside is hot and humid so I think that would definitely impact my enjoyment however it was a beautiful night so we were able to eat outdoors.The food was very good, smaller portions. We got the steamed dumplings which I was pleasantly surprised had more meat than average for a dumpling. We also split the panang curry. We got it level 4 spicy but it seems they have a “Thai spicy” level that we were not aware of because 4/5 was not that spicy.I mentioned the service fee at the top because it is one of the growing trends that I can’t stand when going out to eat. 20% and then asking for a 20% tip on that extra charge really makes the bill significant. Although I enjoyed dining here it will make me reconsider recommending it or returning.

Best Thai food I have had in Pittsburgh! It's simply delicious. We had ordered the Khao soi and the veg appetiser platter. It was delectable! Must visit.

Cute Thai spot in downtown Pittsburgh! The Thai styled fried rice here is incredible. It's super garlicky & flavorful without being too greasy, and it's packed with a protein of your choice. I could probably eat the whole plate! Definitely a must get here. The pad see ew here was also delicious -- it's really hearty, noodles perfectly chewy, and I love the broccoli and egg mixed in. We got it with beef, which was a bit tough, but the flavor was good. We also got cashew chicken and kao soy with tofu. The kao soy was super flavorful and the tofu was really juicy -- the perfect vehicle for soaking up the curry. The cashew chicken was packed with veggies and looked quite spicy but was actually really nicely sweet. 4 dishes was more than enough for 5 people. The portions here are pretty big! The ambiance inside is so lively and the service is really attentive! We had our water refilled often. The decor is also really fun. We went on a Friday night as a group of 5 and were seated without too long of a wait. It's the perfect place for a big group dinner with friends or family.

The food was so great! This was the first time we had been there. Wow, we will be back especially for the mano ice-cream sunday dessert. Yum! ❣️
