Senyai Thai Kitchen

This place is AMAZING. I went here on a whim with my boyfriend for my birthday, no reservation or anything. The workers were incredibly welcoming, friendly and professional right off the bat. They immediately seated us right by the window, which was so pretty! They had beautiful fresh flowers at each table and such a wonderful ambiance. I'm vegan so I often have trouble finding good food at restaurants.. but here it was a breeze! They labeled all of the vegan options with a big green V, making it easy to find what menu items I could eat. We tried several dishes and every single one of them was DIVINE. Our dinner was SO delicious through and through. I will 100% be coming back.(Btw, my favorite dish was their green curry with tofu)

tldr tasty and authentic local thai spot serving both thai classics + speciality dishes with decent indoor + outdoor seating in a house setting ordered pad thai with chicken and green curry with chicken which came out to $19 per dish which was a bit pricey for the serving size pad thai (4/5) not gonna lie i was a bit scared when i saw their pad thai since it wasn't the vibrant orange color i am used to and was quite pale - a sign of a more authentic pad thai is the balance of sweet, salty, and sour notes + presence of preserved radish which made this excellent since they found a great balance of flavors and radish really added to this dish! chicken was tender + tasty (thank goodness since most thai restaurants struggle with this) + crunch from the bean sprouts + green onion + peanuts were great green curry (4/5) cook times on veggies and chicken were perfect since each had the perfect bite - flavor was packing and they gave plenty of sauce to soak up the rice. my one critique is veggies didn't seem like the usual suspects - wish there were some peppers and bamboo shoots. also some of the veggies like the eggplant were cut a bit too big so it wasn't the easiest bite. service was pretty decent with staff refilling water automatically which i appreciated. interior was pretty tight in a house on the first floor but the interior was nice with a ornate ceiling and thai decor! food 4/5service 5/5ambiance 4/5value 3/5

I really had a good meal here. BYOB and intimate. Cool spot. Service was great as well.

Talk about a business from home. As soon as I walked into this restaurant, I was like, did I just walk into someone's house? The first thing you see is a stairway that looks exactly like something you would have in your private home. You don't go up the stairway, rather you turn right into the restaurant and Despite the very modern ceiling, the restaurant also feels very homey. Not too many seats but there is outdoor seating available with some heated lamps. I came in on a Monday night around 7:45 PM and had to wait about 10 minutes for a table. So I would recommend getting a reservation no matter what day of the week it is. They serve your typical Thai foods but also have a long list of chef specials. For appetizer, I got the crab Rangoon and the chicken wings. The crab Rangoon was so good, highly recommended. The chicken wings were crispy but a bit too dry for my liking and didn't have enough seasoning. I can't remember what I got from my entrée but it involved pork and was from the chefs specials. It was very good and came with a small bowl of white rice. Portions were large. The food was good enough that I would definitely come back in the future

We had a great dinner here on a Friday night. The food was excellent and the service was on point. We had the dumplings and crab rangoon to start and both were very fresh. We then had the crab fried rice and ki see noodles as entrees. Lastly, we had Thai green iced tea as dessert and they were very good - just the right amount of sweetness. Their spice range is 1-3. If you want any spice, get at least a 2. The restaurant is not very large so u recommend a reservation. It is BYOB with a $5 corkage fee.

We have been coming here for a while and one really attractive feature is that it is BYOB. They only serve soft drinks. It's small and intimate inside, and they also have an outdoors porch for additional seating when the weather permits. I do believe they have heat lamps. I highly recommend making a reservation because this place gets really crowded. The service is always attentive and the staff is very knowledgeable about the items on the menu. The food is absolute heaven. We have tried quite a few items on the menu and have never been disappointed. You get to select your heat level (1, 2 or 3) for all dishes. I like spicy food and my husband doesn't like as much spice so our typical go to is level 2 and it is the right level of spiciness for us both. Today, we enjoyed several dishes (pictures attached). We ordered a chef's recommendation - "Pad Medmamuang". It includes a crispy fried white meat chicken with vegetables in a slightly sweet sauce (we add extra chicken for $4). This dish is a must try. It is utterly delicious. We also had Pad Thai w/shrimp, Green Curry with Salmon, and Crab Fried Rice. All very very good. This is hands down one of my favorite restaurants, not only in Pittsburgh, but in the U. S. It is a must try.

Lovely Thai spot in Pittsburgh! Went here for a date night spontaneously -- no reservations, so had to wait a bit, but not too long before we were seated. We ordered fried rice and the grapow kai krop (stir fried crispy chicken w assorted veggies) and loved both dishes. Everything was so flavorful and comforting! It felt like elevated Thai food -- the menu had lots of options outside the typical pad thai and pad see ew, which was nice to see. We also got sticky rice for dessert, which I remember was tasty but very filling so we couldn't finish all of it. We sat outside on a particularly windy night in February, and we were seated near the tarp-covered fence, so it was pretty chilly and the tarp kept flapping up and hitting us, which did disrupt the vibe a bit. Would probably recommend sitting inside during the colder months if you can :) Inside decor looks nice too. Overall would recommend giving this place a try if you like Thai food and want somewhere with unique options!

Great little place. Nice atmosphere and decor. Waitress was really nice and did not rush us. We had a nice dinner and were able to take our time and enjoy the food. We share the Moo Yang (very tasty) and Dumplings (OK, not as tasty and falling apart) to start. Everyone had different meals and everyone was really enjoyed their meal. The Duck curry had a nice rich flavor.Love it is BYOB!

Delicious delicious delicious. Got the hottest in spice and it was spicy but still able to eat well. We sat in the patio and was very nice. Although it was very good, it's not a place I would go frequently, more of special occasions because it is quite pricey for Thai food. I have my go to places. But this def will be a special occasion place I would go to.

Omg - run, don't walk, to this fabulous Shadyside spot if you're craving Thai. My husband saw a review in one of the papers, & we decided to give it a go on a whim, ordering takeout. The place is so cute inside; wish we'd eaten there! But, no matter. This *amazing* food -- much of it wonderfully beyond the usual Thai fare - was devoured at home with our own good beer. We started with their flavor bomb dumplings - aka: shrimp & pork -- as well as, the Thai wings. Both were quite good, but the dumplings really stood out. Entrees were equally wonderful: Grapow Kai Krop (crispy fried chix w/ veggies in a yummy garlic chili sauce); and duck curry (tender morsels of duck swimming in a scrumptious red curry with chunks of pineapple and tomato --- ohhhhh, yum!). And this sounds odd to note - but the steamed rice - woah! It was so flavorful; you opened the box & the heavenly aroma just wafted right up. I can't quite remember this in other Thai experiences. Needless to say, we positively cannot wait to return.
