| - Nicky's Thai Kitchen was truly a great experience. I was really surprised with everything here, and did not expect such an experience.
I had heard about this place once or twice and was all about going. I ventured over with two friends (one who has been there before) It was a stormy summer Pittsburgh night, but he insisted that we sit outside, which was fine with me! We got there around 5:45 on a Monday evening so it wasn't busy at all. We walked out through a small dim lighted dining room then out to the patio, which was beautiful little oasis. Filled with plants and Buddhas. It was actually the perfect environment to sit outside during a storm. There were about 20 different colored/patterned umbrellas covering the patio, which made it all the more charming.
The service was good, and the waitress was patient with us while we decided what we wanted. She also carried food outside while it was raining (the patio was completely covered by umbrellas so she didn't get wet at all!) But nonetheless we tipped her well!
My friend & I ordered the Grilled mint Beef Salad & Pumpkin Curry with pork to split. I could not pass up either of these entrees! The waitress asked us how spicy we wanted it, and we said very spicy.
The Beef salad was first, and might I add it came out rather quickly. It was a refreshing combination of tender beef, lettuce, red onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, cilantro, mint, and a spicy Thai chili sauce. It was an excellent array of flavors in my opinion. Although, I can't say I've ever had a similar dish, so it was easy to impress me.
Next was the Pumpkin Curry. I've had pumpkin curry one other time and it was good, but this blew me away. Soft nibblets of Asian pumpkin, basil, coconut milk, and a spicy red curry. It was a good level of spice for me, but I'm assuming they brought us the spiciest level, I would expect a little more for 'the spiciest level' though.
I also ordered a Thai iced tea, sweet & refreshing. It is BYOB, which we didn't know. Next time we will bring our own bottle of wine for sure!
I gave this place 5 stars ( I am easily impress though) The food was excellent, I left there completely satisfied, Service was friendly & quick, the outdoor seat was perfect! If you go there definitely request a table outside, even if it's raining. Honestly the stormy atmosphere made it more enjoyable, for me at least! And all for just under $25, you can't go wrong. All the curries were $12.50, usually good curry is around $14 so I was super impressed by this.
