NOODLEHEAD REVIEWS

Okay so first times here the food and service amazing a hidden gem with all age foot traffic friendly to children and all. I had the See YEW dish and fried shrimp suppose to fried chicken not rolled. Which was amazing. Community was there continue to support and be loved blessings….

Incredibly delicious Thai food that exceeded expectations even though the NOODLEHEAD is highly rated in the first place. Started off with the mouth-watering pulled pork belly steam buns and then onto an ample portion of chicken with fried rice and chicken kee mao. Best Thai food we've had this year.

This place was amazing! Great customer service, great food, and a very relaxing atmosphere. The kids and I were drooling over our food and the water was so fresh. They must have a filter. No complaints. Oh, and the kids meal is enough for two. It is not posted on the menu though.

NICKY'S THAI KITCHEN REVIEWS

I was recommended this spot by a local while visiting and staying in downtown Pittsburgh—and I’m so glad I gave it a try! I ordered the Massaman curry because I was looking for something flavorful but not too spicy, and it hit the spot perfectly. The portion size was generous—more than enough for one person—and the presentation was beautiful, which made the experience even better. The cozy atmosphere and attentive service added to the overall great experience. I’d definitely recommend Nicky’s Thai Kitchen to anyone in the area looking for authentic and delicious Thai cuisine.

The food was excellent! Hands down one of the best Pad Thai dishes I’ve ever had! Made with fresh vegetables, chicken, and a rich savory flavor. Whenever I travel, it’s tradition for me to order Pad Thai on the first day, and this one ranks among the very best. Solid 9.5/10! Also, the Tom Kha soup is incredible! Was initially skeptical about shrimp in a coconut broth, but VERY glad I tried it! Highly recommend.

Wonderful thai restaurant with great flavors. Cool atmosphere. Came for a conference and offered a tasty, affordable, quick lunch. I got the spicy noodles. Tons of basil super quality.

LITTLE BANGKOK IN THE STRIP REVIEWS

Crab rangoons were light and crispy with a delicious citrus orange sauce and the shrimp pad thai was right up there with what I had when I was in Bangkok with very generous serving size. Some of the best food I've had during my trip here to Pittsburgh. My server Jo I think it was, so friendly and welcoming seating me even though I didn't realize they closed in 15 minutes. This is definitely worth seeking out!.

Absolute BEST Thai in the city! Do NOT pass this by! Tom Cha was incredible, and you must get the mango sticky rice!! Every meal at our table was delicious. Come to the Strip District and visit Little Bangkok!! You won’t be disappointed!.

Absolutely the best Thai food around… I drive from Monessen just to come eat. The service is awesome and alway kind. I have made this one of my favorite spots on the Strip.
