Why come here?
This is a perfect place for a date, anniversary or for a big happy group. Came here with a large group after a great successful conference at work. Atmosphere was elegant. Low lights and a fantastic interior decor set your mood right. Service and food were excellent. Parking is easy and there is valet if you're feeling lazy.
What to get?
Our menu was limited because there were so many people. The mushroom dumpling app was phenomenal! Tried chicken and shrimp pad Thai. Portion was extremely generous, Pittsburgh or Midwest style.
Pad Thai is one of my signature dishes and I'm a little snob about it. I tried it out to basically take notes to perfect it more. The chicken was cooked well but on the bland side. Also the rice noodles were stickier than usual. It needed more chopped peanuts. The garnishing cilantro were wilted and topped with lots of crazy spicy chilis. But overall it was a great dish. My friend tried tandoori salmon with lentils and it looked insanely fresh and appealing. It was incredibly delicious.
Would come back?
Totally! Also it's located next door to Umi which is said to be the best sushi place in the Burgh.
Arigato gozaimas, SOBA! See you soon.
