Nicky's is my favorite Thai place in takeout distance. I love the chicken pineapple curry, but also the spicy basil stir fry and panang. The downtown location will make Som Tum, which makes me so so happy, but the people on the Northside look at me in confusion most of the time. Their fresh/summer rolls are definitely among the best in the 'Burgh, which plenty of fresh cilantro, mint, and basil. When someone asks me what are the best Asian restaurants in Pittsburgh, Nicky's is in the top 5.
