Love Nicky's North Side location!
Came during lunch on a Saturday with a pretty big group, and they seated us immediately outside. Having been to the downtown location as well, North Side definitely has more space and wasn't too crowded! The outside area is probably one of my favorite outside restaurant venues, similar to Pusadee's Garden in Lawrenceville. They preserve a lot of traditional Thai pieces outside amongst the greenery and fountain decoration!
In terms of food, I had pad see yew with chicken and was pleasantly surprised that the chicken wasn't as dry as other places I've had this dish. Since we came for lunch, all orders came with soup or salad as well! A lot of my friends enjoyed their curries here, although they serve in more elaborate dishes at the downtown location during dinner. And their Thai Tea is quite good, although I prefer thicker and creamier than their recipe. They serve Green Thai Tea which is special though!
Service was so kind, I accidentally knocked over my water, and they helped me clean up and brought a new one out immediately. Most of all, we were able to split the check with 7 people (THANK YOU) and overall loved the space and food!
