This is easily my favorite Thai restaurant in Pittsburgh. The food is always flavorful with fresh ingredients and bright flavors. The online ordering page is easy to navigate, and my takeout orders are always packaged well enough to handle the drive home. I highly recommend the fresh rolls (shrimp or tofu) as well as the tom yum soup and som tom salad. All the typical stir fries, curries, and noodle dishes are also delicious, but there are too many good options to list here. I especially like the option to order just about any dish with extra vegetables. I can't recommend this place enough for anyone looking to get their Thai fix in Pittsburgh.

Food was really good. Only issue was that I found hair in the food. Please make sure your employees wear hair nets.

Dependably delicious Thai food that's obviously prepared by knowledgeable and loving hands. I hope the owners value the phenomenal asset that is the kitchen staff, who regularly put out great food. (The front-end staff isn't always the friendliest--the sole drawback here.) Currently, it's only take-out, with no dine-in option.

This is the first place I tried when I moved to Highland Park and it's honestly one of the best Thai places I've had in the entire city. I would give it a try as well as the other places in Highland Park!

They like to charge more than the prices advertised and refuse to honor the advertised price. Besides their practice of false advertising, their food is merely ok. Inconsistent quality. Spice level is definitely toned down (their 10 is a respectable Thai restaurant's 4) and chicken is over cooked. Ok in a pinch if you like paying more than the sticker price.

Love the food here. I wish dine-in services would open again but a great takeout place nonetheless

Their Tom Yum soup is so addicting. I drive from the Robinson area to get it once a week. I’ve eaten everything on the menu at least 5 times. Everything here is authentic and full of flavor. They’re also very good with spice if you like heat added to your food. But seriously though, try the Tom Yum. It’s fire!

Great Thai spot in Highland Park. Would recommend the pineapple fried rice, pad see ew, koy soy (get rice on the side). Take out only FYI so order online or by phone. There are picnic tables outdoors which are very nice too.

About the Thai Restaurant:This Thai restaurant, located in Pittsburgh, undoubtedly stands as the best Thai restaurant in town. It's a truly local gem, albeit with no space to sit inside, reflecting its focus on takeaway or to-go orders.About the Food:During my visit, I had the pleasure of savoring some incredible dishes. The Thai fried rice was simply mind-blowing, bursting with flavors and leaving a lasting impression. The Khao Soi, a curry noodle entree featuring both pork and chicken, was equally amazing. Additionally, the fried dumplings were a delightful treat. To complete the meal, I enjoyed a refreshing Thai tea, served just the way I like it - light on ice.In summary, this restaurant offers a culinary experience that's beyond words. The dishes were exceptional and worth every penny. For its incredible food, efficient service, and attention to preferences, this Thai restaurant easily deserves a well-earned five-star rating.Parking: Limited parking

Enjoyed a unique mid-day picnic with my partner on Bryant St. Due to the limited availability of dining options available, we decided to utilize the picnic tables across the street at Bryant St. Parklet. Fortunately the Parklet provided shade enabling us to enjoyed a weekday lunch together.

We've had mixed experiences lately: sometimes we get great food, sometimes it's disappointing. Tonight it was BOTH in one order. We had three entrees tonight. Two of them were good. The third, my Pad Thai, was almost only noodles. I ordered (and paid for) extra chicken but I found only four small pieces of chicken in the dish. I found one peanut, one sliver of onions, and three bean sprouts. Not much flavor, either. I wonder if the cook never finished prepping the dish before it was packaged? I'm going to start opening the food and checking it at the restaurant with future take-out orders?
