We typically don't go to Squirrel Hill too often and although we've tried many Thai restaurants in various other locations around the city, this was our first trip to Bangkok Balcony. We stopped in for lunch and only 1 other couple was in the restaurant.
Service was great - very attentive and timely. We ordered the lunch specials , garlic pork for me and ginger pork for my husband.
The starter was pretty good - in the 3 star range - tofu soup, lettuce salad with peanut dressing & a spring roll with dipping sauce. Then the meals arrived. In spite of the beautiful veggies and tender pork on both dishes, they had no flavor. We had ordered spice levels of 6 & 7 and there was zero spice in either dish.
I expect a good Thai dish to wake up my taste buds with all the vibrant spices and sauces. These dishes put our taste buds to sleep.
