| - Small Thai place in the Regent Square neighborhood. On my last night in Pittsburgh, my sister and her family (niece, nephew and brother in law) took me out to this nice small Thai restaurant for dinner. I have been to lots of Thai places so this is being judged based on my experiences. My sister only goes to places she likes so this had better be good. We brought a bottle of wine, no corkage fee and they have glasses you can use for the wine but the Cork incident ( the corkscrew didn't work very well, it could have been a nightmare because my sister would argue all night long that it was my brother in law's fault, it wasn't, the cork was just not the best). However it passed after we got our delicious first course. An appetizer of Roast Duck summer/spring rolls. It was very good and kudos for something unique. Who would have thought roast duck. I knew it cost more but we all enjoyed it. We ordered 2 plates and it added up to 24 pieces that were cut up already. The kids loved it.
Drinks, I ordered Thai iced tea, it was fine but the rest of the group ordered themselves some smoothies (now its already fall in Pittsburgh and prettty cool outside) and they enjoyed the pumpkin, coconut (with boba) and the mango flavors.
Entrees, we had larb, pork fried rice, roast duck curry, beef curry and for my niece she wanted vegetable surprise (ideal for vegetarians-no meat necessary).
All of the food was great, a little disappointed on the roast duck on my curry (amount, sliced really small). That withstanding, all the whole meal was filling and great. We had no room for dessert and even brought some leftovers. For all of that (I peaked), about 101 dollars plus tax. Not bad for a meal for 5 people including the smoothies.
I don't know when I will be back to Pittsburgh but would feel very comfortable having dinner or lunch with people in this small place.
