| - My girlfriend and I decided to try this place because of the positive reviews on this website and others. We were pleasantly surprised with how good it actually was.
As we walked towards the front, it looked closed on first glance because it was completely empty. The reason the interior was so empty because we choose the first beautiful day in PGH to visit and the outside seating is this restaurants REAL dining area.I am looking forward to returning to this outdoor dining experience when all the foliage is grown in and a bit later in the evening to get the real ambiance of this Pittsburgh jewel. The negative of the outdoor seating is the location. The patio is RIGHT next to Butler St. which made it a bit noisy when large trucks or loud motorcycles would pass. We were seated immediately and given glasses of water.
The service was average, nothing great, no problems either though. Nothing really to comment on.
The food, however, was the star of the evening. I ordered the Thai Yellow Rice. The chicken was crispy and cooked perfectly. The rice had great flavor, and I had the option of spice level, and choose the medium one, which was not very hot. My girlfriend had the pad thai which was delicious, simple, and not heavy with spices and marinades.
The prices are super reasonable and we will definitely frequent this place in Law-ville from now on. If you are a fan of Asian foods and would like a great place to eat, this is a MUST go.
One side note, this place is BYOB and they mean it. People around us brought bottles of wine and beer. The menu said there is charge of $1 for a glass. I do not know if they would charge to drink out of a beer bottle or can.
