When it comes to Thai food in Pittsburgh my go-to is Noodlehead and unfortunately, my last experience at Nicky's Thai confirmed that. I always go for the Pad See Ew with vegetables, but the last time I had Nicky's the food really had zero flavor. I don't see consistency with their cooking. I ordered a spice level 9/10 last time and it had zero spice; the workers warn you anything above 5 is extremely spicy. Also in recent times my noodles have not been fresh, tasting hard and stale. And the flavor was basically all oil and zero spice/flavor. Sad to review this because the staff is truly wonderful, as is the outside garden for dining. If you do go definitely go in the warmer months to take advantage of the beautiful ambience of the back yard.
