| - Food: Little Bangkok has two separate menus online; the standard menu and the vegan menu. Unfortunately, when a group of 8 of us went, 3 of us intending to order vegan, we were told that over half of the items on the online vegan menu were not actually vegan. Multiple order requests were shot down for not being vegan and being made with egg or fish sauce. Even the curry dishes, which at most Pittsburgh Thai restaurants are vegetarian/vegan friendly, were not. Menu items are ordered on the 1-10 spicy scale. We split the fresh summer rolls, which were huge and tasty. Rather than being served as an entire roll, they were cut into individual pieces, like sushi, making it much easier to eat as a group. No soups were vegetarian friendly. The non-vegetarian eaters in our party seemed to enjoy the crab wonton, but said they had tasted better in the city. The Pad Eee Eil was very bland and lacked flavor both at low spicy levels and high. The sweet and sour was considerably more tasty than the Pad Eee Eil but was not as good as variations from other Pittsburgh Thai restaurants. The meat eaters in the group seemed to enjoy the green curry and other dishes, but no one was blown away by their meal.
Price: Most appetizers are $6 or less, soup ranges from $5-7 per bowl with hot pot option available, and entrees range from $10-15. The prices are very reasonable.
Drinks: BYOB. There are fees for wine and beer.
Atmosphere: The dining room is very modestly decorated and wide open. Tables can accommodate small and large parties. We arrived around 7 on a Friday night and we were the only ones in the entire restaurant. We made a reservation, but this probably isn't necessary.
Service: The waiter was attentive and helpful, and did his best despite delivering bad news (for us) about the menu repeatedly. The staff does not speak great English, and there was some confusion about some of the orders. One order that was specifically requested not to have egg came out with egg, and that person had to wait for another meal to be prepared while we ate our meals. The chef came out to apologize and thank us, and she was very friendly. The staff was patient while we stayed beyond their closing time finishing our wine.
(+): affordable, friendly staff
(-): average to below-average Thai food, online menu does not match real menu
Would I go back again? No. Pittsburgh is loaded with awesome Thai restaurants. Unless I hear that Little Bangkok has significantly improved, I likely will not go back.
