I tried out Pusadee's after stumbling around Chowhound one day looking for new restaurants to try out.
Since we had no idea what to order, we asked the server for recommendations. He suggested their pork meatballs as an appetizer and said it's all about the special noodles and fish. Most people end up getting their Street Noodle #1.
We ended up getting their pork meatballs, which were absolutely delicious. I want to say the meat was minced by hand with a tad of baking soda for it to achieve such a fine texture which remind me of the meatballs at Chinese dimsum places. The seasoning was right on spot; I've had too many under/over-seasoned meatballs to take small things as the proper amount of seasoning for granted. They come skewered on sugarcane which added to the presentation and were fun to suck on while we waited for our entrees.
I asked Pusadee what her favorite dish was, as opposed to the most popular dish. She first noted that I might not like it b/c it's spicy but told me it was the spicy tilapia. I love spicy, and I ordered it. My friend ordered their Street Noodle #1.
The spicy tilapia dish was a lot larger than I had imagined; it was five pieces of fried crispy tilapia with a copious amount of the spicy sauce. The sauce itself wasn't that spicy, but it had lots of strong Thai flavors with a sweet touch from caramelized onions.
I tried some of the Street Noodle #1 and it was pretty good. The thinly sliced crispy chicken wasn't as crispy as I would have imagined, but all the flavors were spot on.
Some finishing notes:
What I found interesting was that I didn't see ANYONE in the restaurant order curry at all. And Pusadee and the waiter didn't recommend them either...
Get reservations. It's a small restaurant and the first thing we were asked was if we had reservations.
Because it's a bit further away from the "hot spots" of Pittsburgh, parking was ridiculously easy.
If you want to try the tilapia, get a friend to order something else and split the two dishes. It comes with no vegetables and Asian cuisine is all about splitting dishes anyways.
