Nickys Thai Kitchen - Pittsburgh (PA)

5 /5 Brenda Walsh: My fav Thai restaurant in Pittsburgh in the heart of the Cultural District downtown. I always opt to done outside in their oasis on the sidewalk. It is so very well done with umbrellas over every table and greenery surrounding you on all sides with hanging lights throughout, such that you are in your own world sheltered from the ongoing traffic. The service is always impeccable which is great because they do tack on automatically a 20 percent service fee, no matter your party size. This is not revealed aloud until they bring you the bill. But, since you will get service, food, and atmosphere well worth at least 20 percent, let it be. The menu options are lengthy. I have always been pleased with presentation, quality, and quantity and always have plenty to take home. Spice levels are 1 to 5. Level 2 I found too mild, three was perfect for my taste. The servers will help you decide. It can be pricey but so worth it. I will definitely return.

4 /5 Greg S: Great location in the downtown area designated as the Cultural District. We were here on a weeknight early evening, and the place was packed! Got a table outside along the wall, but in the walkway so people were constantly passing very close to us as we dined. Service was good and they did not ignore us. The Tom Yum soup and Tom Kha Soup were both good and really a ton of vegetables in each. Pad Phet (spicy) with chicken was excellent The Panang curry with pork was requested to be Thai spicy (extra hot) and that kinda fell flat for me. Overall a good meal for both of us.

4 /5 Monei Da Goddess: It was nice. This was my first visit. I really like the atmosphere. The cultural designs, various statues. It was nice. It was intimate. It wasnt too bright. It was comfortable. I had great company. It gave it a little mysterious feel to it and the food was good. The crab rangoon was excellent. I tried some of their Maki latte. I didnt care for that too much. Its kind of sweet and its mixed with green tea. I think Ill try something else next time. I wasnt really impressed with that and Im not sure if it contained the little balls or not. It wasnt awful, by any means. It was a different flavor and I probably wouldnt get it again. It wasnt nasty. Its just not anything that resonated with me. But I will definitely be going back for a return visit. I think my meal choice was shrimp fried rice or something along those lines and I think it included vegetables.

5 /5 Cameron: Came by for lunch which I think was great value, especially for downtown! No wait for a table of 2, the lunch is an entree with a soup or salad . The salad is nice and fresh, but the pineapple dressing is quite sweet. The soup of the day, chicken and rice, was really delicious and flavorful, definitely recommend! The spicy noodles (essentially drunken noodles) was amazing, great flavor and portion and if you like spice, level 3 is perfect! It has a ton of delicious sauce too, almost too much but loved the flavor. It’s a little odd that even for a party of 2 for lunch, tip is already included in the bill, but the price was so good for the portion and quality that it’s totally worth it to me! Great spot to stop by!
