| - What a cute place! We would never have come here if not for the Yelp reviews, so good job on that one, yelpers!
I'm not sure what they do in the winter, because this place is TINY. The amount of outdoor seating is equivalent to the amount of indoor seating (which is probably somewhere around 10 people per space), so make reservations if you know you're going. The service is fantastic - they are SO friendly! It feels like a real neighborhood restaurant, which it is - totally tucked around the corner off Negley.
Some of the food was good, and some could have been better. We started with the crispy calamari and steamed dumplings, both of which were fine. I think we wished that there was a little more calamari than there was. We then shared the pumpkin curry, pad see ew, and green curry. Hands down, the pad see ew was the best we'd had in Pittsburgh, definitely on par with Green Mango, and potentially even better. However, the consensus around the table was that the curry dishes were not as good as those at Green Mango - they seemed a little on the watery side. Perhaps not enough coconut milk (some of them specifically that they are not made with coconut milk, so there's that). Mainly, they just didn't seem as... "taste"y as others we'd had before. Also, the pumpkin was a touch undercooked and was tough.
But we loved the fresh mango with sweet sticky rice dessert, perhaps even more than the fried banana dessert with ice cream. This is all to say, we're happy to have found another good thai place in town, and the service is just so cute that we'll have to keep on going back.
