1/16/25Ate List:Chicken Pad Thai (spice 2) - Score 8.9W/ Salad - 6.5First thing's first. Service was amazing. So quick. Was seated immediately. Was less than 10 minutes from ordering to the meal being in front of me. LOVED THAT.Salad came very quickly. Overall was good, had some citrus and onion in it. Liked it.The Chicken Pad Thai was phenomenal. Will absolutely come back for it. Noodles were delicious and very light. Spice level was good at 2, feel like spice level 3 would be manageable. And the portion was perfect. Cleaned my plate. So so good. Restaurant's ambiance is nice too. Feels busy but in a way that isn't off putting.

This was one of the worst dining experiences I've had. The service was terrible, and the food was even worse.We ordered the coconut soup, and it was just disgusting--nowhere near what a real coconut soup should taste like. Then came the crab rangoon, which was the smallest I've ever seen. It was honestly hard to even find them on the plate. We ended up canceling the duck because it came out way too dry.I've spent three weeks in Thailand and travel to Asia often, so I know what authentic Thai food tastes like--and this was definitely not it. With the prices they're charging, it was beyond disappointing.Never again.

The food was okay. I didn't like the imposed tip for dine in. The point of tip is gratuity. If you're going to impose tip, then why not just mark up your menu prices by 20% instead of "imposing a tip".Also I had the peanut chicken salad. It was SALTY! So salty I was thirsty all night long. And I couldn't even finish the whole salad because it was just that salty. So I wouldn't recommend that dish to anyone.

Stumbled in for lunch after struggling to find a place to eat in Downtown Pittsburgh. Atmosphere is pleasant, and the lunch menu is reasonable with a good variety of options. The spring rolls were OK, but way too heavy on the rice paper. The chicken salad looked good, but it was DRENCHED in sauce. The lemongrass soup looked like the way to go. Overall, a pretty good and fairly reasonably priced lunch, though the mandatory 20% gratuity was a bit off-putting.

Okay well food is always a 10/10. Absolutely never fails to fill me up and make me so happy I went. Best crab rangoon with the tastiest sauce. The pad see ew with chicken is my favorite and never fails. My friend got the chicken pad thai and it makes sense that it is their famous dish! The service was a bit slow, we sat at our table for 10/15 minutes before anyone even came to say hi. They are working hard because it is so busy which explains why we were elbow to elbow with the neighboring table. Would definitely go!

I came here with a large group from work one evening. I was able to call ahead to make a reservation, and I highly recommend doing this. I was worried it was going to be so crowded since we noticed a line outside the door the night before! The staff were very welcoming and attentive and were accommodating to our needs. The restaurant is BYOB but also has a full bar that you can order from. We ordered spring rolls and egg rolls to share, which were tasty. We all ordered a dish each, which I will say is not necessary if you are sharing with a large group. The portions are very generous - it is family style portions for sure! I was able to try the pineapple fried rice, spicy Thai basil fried rice, beef pad see ew, and the kao soy. All of the dishes were absolutely delicious!The icing on top of the delicious meal was that the Thai spicy level (1-5) was actually spicy! I got the spicy level 5, and usually at other spots I am underwhelmed, but this place had me sweating! I will certainly be back here if I ever come back to Pittsburgh. Great experience!

High-quality, large-portioned Thai food in a busy setting downtown. We arrived right when they opened and people were already waiting at the door. In the hour we were there the entire place filled up and got loud, so I'd definitely recommend an earlier dinner if possible. The pad see ew had delightfully chewy noodles and spice level 2 was perfect for this dish. It was a ton of food, but it should be for the $$$. I'd definitely recommend the sticky rice mango for dessert. The mango was perfectly ripe and it was a wonderful way to finish off the meal.

Absolutely delicious! Visiting Pittsburgh for a weekend and Nicky Thai was a great dinner out. I loved the Tom yum with veggies and our 5 year old loved the chicken satay and grilled calamari. We ordered the special fried fish and pork belly entrees and both were excellent. Quick friendly service and comfortable atmosphere! Yum!

Nice flavors but my rice hair in it and some pieces of chicken were not cooked. Cool ambiance but made me think twice.
