I'm never disappointed when I go to Nicky's for lunch. We arrive promptly at 11:40 because the place gets packed super quick and its small-ish inside.
I ordered the Thai Style Fried Rice with chicken. I got a Thai 6 for the spice level. I like spicy food and have gotten a 9 there before. The rice was a generous portion. I ate a little over half and took the rest to go. I really enjoyed the large chunks of green onion and the slices of chicken. The salad my meal came with was also delicious. It had the perfect amount of dressing and the mango was fresh.
I didn't get an appetizer this time, but when I do, I go with the crab Rangoon. It's amazing! One comes with your meal, but who can eat only one!?
This restaurant is also great for take out. If you're running late to lunch or even if you want grab something after you leave a happy hour downtown, it's perfect. I ordered it once and it was ready in less than 30 minutes.
Overall, Nicky's has the best Thai in Pittsburgh!
