Listen, I know, there are plenty of Thai and Asian fusion restaurants to choose from in Squirrel Hill and they seem to come and go. But Thai & Noodle Outlet needs to stay and you need to eat there!
Located on Forbes Avenue next to the Carnegie Library this small, pleasant space seats probably about 25 people and is BYOB. Service is fast and very friendly and I have a feeling you could have a nice date here or enjoy an evening with friends.
My group of three started out sharing the appetizer Tofu Paradise. And, you know what, as far as tofu goes, it was its own little paradise! This is a great app to share and the tofu was fried lightly with no grease or oil to be seen and topped with a tasty peanut sauce. Personally, I think it could have used a little more sauce, but it was likely the perfect amount.
For my entree I had the pad cashew nuts noodles. It had a great heat to it and the noodles were a perfect flatness seasoned well and accompanied by fresh vegetables. I ate every last bite.
My friends also enjoyed their meals - we all agreed that it was spicy but not in a "HELP my mouth is on fire!" way. The price was reasonable and seriously, the service could not have been better. I can't wait to return.
