First time at Thai Cuisine since the revamp.
When I lived in Friendship a decade ago I frequented Thai Cuisine and never had a bad meal there. When the wife was craving some Thai food I suggested we try my old stomping grounds especially since I noticed it's been remodeled.
I realized that the place is half the size of the old set up which makes for a better atmosphere. Everything is still new and clean. Dark colors and somewhat dim lighting make for an intimate meal even when the bright sun is shining in through the window overlooking Liberty Avenue.
The service was great, almost too attentive. We had our waters filled every time we took a sip. Our meals came quickly, almost too quick, making us think too much prep work is done. The food was really good though. We each got a bowl of soup. The wife got the Tom Yum with Shrimp. It was hot and sour in a good way. There were three nice sized shrimp in the broth and tasted fresh. I got the Tom Kha with shrimp, which was excellent. The coconut broth was smooth and delicious. I always enjoy this dish and make sure I try it everywhere. Thai Cuisine balanced this soup very well. We then shared a massive plate of Pad Thai with veggies and tofu. The pad thai was good, but not great. The portion was huge, definitely shareable especially after eating a bowl of soup. I wasn't impressed however with the amount of veggies in the dish or the amount of sauce. It lacked both and might get to great with a bit more of each. Also, the veggies seemed wilted and not really fresh.
So, in short. Thai Cuisine is a good, but not great Thai option in Pittsburgh.
