| - I came here to have dinner and catch up with a few friends. We love Thai food, and we have tried almost every Thai restaurant within a 5-radius of Shadyside--except this one. So, of course, we had to try this place out before we graduate to the 10-mile radius and beyond (gas prices and traffic be damned, we want our fill of Thai goodness!).
Anyway, I arrived first, and the waiter (manager? owner? Sorry I can't be sure, but he's the one with the French accent) greeted me warmly and sat me down first. I told him two more people were going to arrive soon, so he quickly got me three glasses of iced water, menus, and silverware. After my friends arrive, he comes to introduce himself and the restaurant, and asked if we would like any beverages. One of my friends orders some tea, which he gets for her in no time. After perusing the menu for a few minutes, we order our food. I ordered the Green Curry Noodles with Tofu (spice level: 4), and my friends ordered Pad Thai with Shrimp (spice level: 0 [she doesn't do well with spicy food]) and Pad See Ew with Tofu (spice level: 3). It wasn't very busy at this time, so our food came out within 10-15 minutes.
My Green Curry Noodles with Tofu looked great. It had rice noodles, bell peppers, green beans, broccoli, eggplant, and Thai basil. I took a few sips of the broth and tasted really good and had a nice kick to it. My friends also really liked their respective dishes. Halfway through our meal, the place really started getting busy. It seemed like between each bite/sip of my food, a table or two became filled. By the time we were ready to leave, the place was packed. Nevertheless, our waiter never failed to refill our glasses with water and ask if we needed anything. When we were done, he got us a few take-out boxes for our leftovers and the check. Because of the good food and excellent service, my friends and I decided to give a generous tip.
Overall, a very good place to have a nice Thai meal. Although it wasn't the best I've had, it does rank pretty high in my personal list of Thai restaurants. I will make an effort to come back again to try their Pad Thai, which is one of my favorite Thai dishes, and their desserts. Honestly, who could resist Pumpkin Custard or the Sago & Black Bean with Coconut Cream? Even though I'm allergic to mangoes, I'll even try their seasonal Sweet Mango with Sticky Rice (with 911 on speed dial, of course!).
