| - Great restaurant. Eat here. Often.
First, the ambiance is nice. Dim but still effective lighting; nice colors; great bar area; ample, comfortable seating.
Second, the menu is impressive. Lots of curries, brown sauce dishes, salads, and an interesting Thai tapas menu that I've never really encountered before. And one of the best parts is that they are willing to make the dishes truly vegetarian, i.e. no hidden meat items like oyster sauce and shrimp paste.
Third, the service was great. The waiter helped out with a very strong wine list. And everyone had a smile.
Fourth, the prices are reasonable. Dinner for two, including tip, could easily be under $40 without alcohol.
I didn't go for the full 5 stars because I thought that the food was a tad greasy. Nothing too bad; but I make Thai at home and have been to plenty of Thai restaurants, so I know that restaurants can, if they want, reduce the amount of oil without sacrificing too much flavor.
That said, this place is great and in a cool location in the heart of Squirrel Hill N.
