Legitimately some of the best Thai food I’ve ever had. Absolutely incredible food and service. The dumplings and spring rolls were favs for appetizers. For entree the pad see eaw and Thai fried rice were incredible. I can’t wait to go back.

the ambiance and decor is superb! Really enjoyed the dumpling appetizers, Gaprow Lad Kai, Thai Iced Tea, Green Iced Tea . Unfortunately, we did not enjoy the the Green Curry Noodle Beef bowl. The Green Curry Noodle Beef bowl had way too much noodle for the curry so it ended up being a mush of noodles with barely any curry or beef (see picture). It’s a shame because the curry flavor is delicious.

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.

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 wasn’t 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 didn’t care for that too much. It’s kind of sweet and it’s mixed with green tea. I think I’ll try something else next time. I wasn’t really impressed with that and I’m not sure if it contained the little balls or not. It wasn’t awful, by any means. It was a different flavor and I probably wouldn’t get it again. It wasn’t nasty. It’s 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.

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.

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!

We stopped by Nicky’s Thai Kitchen on Christmas Eve when many places were closed and were glad to find them open. We were greeted at the front and seated toward the back near the kitchen. The space is beautifully done, and even on a holiday evening it felt lively yet comfortable.
Ordered Fresh Spring Rolls — $8.00
Not your usual spring rolls; these include tofu. After looking at the menu later, it clearly lists fried tofu as an ingredient, so that explains why this one wasn’t our favorite.
Wonton Soup $7.00
Samosa $8.00
Pad Thai $22.00
Spicy Fried Rice with Chicken $21.00
Two Ginger Beers $6.00 each
Subtotal: $78.00
Tax: $5.46
Service charge 20%: $15.60
Total: $99.06
Service charge is noted on the receipt, and the restaurant’s own site confirms a dine‑in service charge and tipping policy for dine‑in orders.
The spring rolls were the only item that didn’t quite land for us, due to the tofu, but everything else was excellent. I ordered the spicy fried rice at spice level 3, which the server warned me might be hot and he was right. From the first spoonful I was sweating; it was that spicy. It was too hot for me to finish on the spot, so I asked for a take‑home box. Portions are generous easily enough for two people to share one dish. That was a huge bonus.
If you’re not into very spicy food, go with heat level 1 or 2; the food is still flavorful, just less intense. Based on this experience, I’ll return and order level 1 next time.
Our server was kind, polite, and checked in often. He even joked about the spice level when he saw me sweating, which showed good rapport.
Beautiful, inviting space, even on a busy holiday night. The vibe near the kitchen was energetic but not chaotic.
The 20% service charge felt unusual to us and is something diners should be aware of in advance. It’s clearly listed, but it did affect the overall bill.
Still, given the delicious food, generous portions, attentive service, and the fact they were open on Christmas Eve, this is a place we’ll gladly return to, just with a milder spice level next time.

I can’t say enough good things about the service, but that’s where it ends for me. We chose to sit outside and that was a mistake for me. I don’t want to listen to people yelling from their cars, loud mufflers, and smell car exhausts, while eating. We eat outside often and never experienced this, the tables are too close to the traffic passing by.
We ordered our typical Thai dishes that we enjoy and truthfully every dish lacked flavor. My husband’s tom yum looked delicious, but he could barely eat it something was in it that he didn’t like. Maybe too much sour flavor and not balanced enough. I didn’t care for my pad thai either, not sure of the carrots and cabbage on top. The fresh rolls were just OK.
I was shocked at the high reviews that led us here. We are not from the area, so maybe that’s what the locals like. Overall, I will not return.

We had a lovely experience here! The place feels cozy and welcoming, and the food was genuinely good. They also have a nice vegan menu, which was a great surprise. Overall, we really enjoyed our dinner and would definitely come back.

Cozy restaurant right in downtown Pittsburgh with a warm, inviting vibe. We sat at the bar and had quick, attentive service from a very friendly bartender. The atmosphere really stands out with lots of plants incorporated into the design, giving it a fresh, stylish look. I also loved the different colored lights, which added a fun and relaxing mood to the space and made the overall experience memorable.
