| - I've been to a lot of Thai restaurants, and Bangkok Balcony is a favorite in Pittsburgh.
Being a pumpkin lover, my first choice was obvious--the tofu pumpkin curry! And a good choice it was. Thick, hearty, very pumpkiny, and very spicy. Usually 8/10 is a comfortable level of spice for me, but this definitely got my sinuses going. No complaints from me! The portion was large and the dish was very heavy. The tofu helped to balance it out a little, but I still had a lot to take home. Still, this had to be one of my favorite Thai dishes anywhere, ever.
Another of my favorites here is the mussel fritters. It's basically a bunch of deep fried mussels on a bed of beansprouts with a Pad Thai-like sauce. Delicious!
Their Panang curry, unfortunately, is thin and bland, and I also wasn't too impressed with the fresh spring rolls. They weren't terrible, but you can get much better at most other Thai places in the 'burgh. But the pumpkin curry...! I gotta give the place props.
