I am so excited to have good Thai without driving to North Side or Bellevue or farther.
The restaurant looks cute, not too stereotypical ethnic, not too take-out ish, not too duded-up. Just right, freshly decorated. Pretty small. BYOB.
I stopped for takeout in the middle of the afternoon and my order was ready in 10 minutes. They weren't busy at this in-between time. Service was fast and friendly.
The soup option that came with the lunch portion was Tofu that day and really delicious. It reminded me of chicken noodle soup but with added Thai spices and flavor and lots of black pepper. There weren't noodles but chunks of what tasted like fresh silky tofu. The lunch portion of Drunken noodles was excellent, lots of veggies, wide chewy rice noodles that were almost in chunks, tofu that tasted fresh - no stale oil flavor. I asked for very spicy and got what I'd consider a 5 though I appreciate that they'd rather be safe and not burn someone's mouth. The lunch portion was enough for me with the soup although I would have eaten more if there was more as it was that good. $7.50
The dinner portion of pad thai was a nice dinner portion - about the size you'd expect. The sauce was pretty good, not too sweet with a medium amount of spice (asked for 7 and it seemed more like a 4 to me but I like spicy). I'd call it much better than average Pittsburgh pad thai as I think average is usually too sweet and greasy and this was not. There was a bit more to the sauce than the traditional Thai thin sauce. $11
I can't wait to go back.
