Eye pleasing colors/interior decor. They had pleasant Thai music playing.
I got pad thai chicken as well as the cashew nut entrees. A bowl of tom kha soup. All were excellent and exceeded my expectations. This is coming from someone who has dined @ nicky's thai kitchen many times. the flavor density of the cashew nut dish was amazing . they've got it dialed in, just right , to my taste buds . the tom kha was neither too watery/thin nor mucky . (some places like Thai spoon water the soups down much too much .)
Prices are high-ish but, this place is definetly 'better' than Thai Spoon, around the corner. the portion size of the tom kha soup was small . nicky's thai kitchen gives you nearly twice the volume of soup for the same price . the cashew nut stir-fry was on the skimpy/small side, as well . true that this was a "lunch special" portion but , i'm a hungry American male and I like a big lunch . you pay nearly $5 more for the full-size entree portion ...
*parking* could be problematic if you're driving here because there is very limited on-street metered parking unless you get creative and find one of the residential streets to park on, some of which are one-way only .
despite these issues, i'm sure I will be back to dine, again and try other items on the menu which all looked good in words.
Dormont and the South PGH / South hills areas, in general are much better off with the addition of "My Thai" .
