| - In sum, this place is your typical Thai Food place in Pittsburgh. I would say where it does beat its competition is location, location, location. It appears this place is still a "hidden restaurant". It is so far up Butler, I think most people do not even know this place exists. When I came here on a Friday night there was still plenty of room to fill and no wait list! Yay!
I ordered the coconut soup w/ shrimp. It was good, the broth was simple yet rich. It lacked some lemongrass but it was good. Quite honestly that was my favorite dish of the evening. For my entree, I ordered the ever so traditional Shrimp Pad Thai. Which again was your typically Pad Thai. Sadly, nothing blew my mind away, I would not necessarily tell everyone I know to eat here. Then again, I won't say it is bad either. It is by and far superior than its competitors in Bloomfield so this place has that going for them.
I would say if this restaurant had a bit more expedient wait staff, and dropped their prices a bit, I would feel more compelled to return. I wanted to love this place but I am more indifferent with it. I may give it a second chance in the future merely due to the fact of its proximity to my home and the lack of bustle. Perhaps I caught them on an off night.
