This place is awesome! I'm a lover of Thai food but, sadly, great Thai food is hard to come by in most cities in the US (as far as I know, at least). I'd been hearing about Nicky's Thai for some time but never managed to make the trek to the North Side for it. So much easier to settle for mediocre (on a good day) Thai from somewhere closer to home in Squirrel Hill. We tried the new-ish downtown location of Nicky's Thai last night and it was by far the best Thai food I have had in a very, very, very long time. Quite possibly the best I've had outside of Thailand or cities with decent-sized Thai populations and some great Thai restaurants (e.g., Sydney).
We of course ordered far too much food and left feeling happy and full. The portions are pretty big. The problem is that they are so tasty that you do feel compelled to over indulge. But that's okay when it is so delicious, I suppose.
Nicky's Thai is a great little place downtown and is worth checking out. Delicious!
