We passed this restaurant on our way to the Moth storytelling show and made a mental note to try it out sometime, but when the show was sold out we decided to head over. Disclaimer: My wife and I have lived and worked in Thailand, and are fairly critical of the Thai Food we eat here.
We sampled four entrees:
Pad Thai with shrimp: about as good as we've had in the US.
Pad See Ew with Chicken: I think this is the best I've had in the States. Her recipe reminds me of some that I used to get at a small restaurant in Khon Kaen (Northwest Thailand, Issan provence).
Pumpkin Curry. Never really ate this in Thailand, but we alway try it at US restaurants when they have it. I like this one about as much as the recipe at Nicky's Thai Kitchen (which has been our favorite).
The last one was a special, fried rice with crab that was amazing.
We had a really nice conversation with the owner, Lec, who was super friendly, and even shared some green beans with fermented crab that she had made for her Thai employees. This will be our new go to restaurant for Southside, and Thai Food in general when we are in Pittsburgh.
