Dancing Crab Thai Noodle House

The owner is always there when we dine in or take out. He is so kind and this is our favorite Thai food restaurant in Pittsburgh. The chicken pad Thai is my go to!

I didn’t get any crab at Dancing Crab Thai Noodle House but that didn’t prevent me from enjoying every bit of the food here.

I’ve had dancing crab plenty of times on Uber Eats and got the same thing every time. Spicy Basil Fried Rice + egg rolls. I decided to dine in today, staying to my roots. I’ve tried many spicy Basil fried rice dishes across Pittsburgh and I’ll say that dancing crab arguably has the most flavorful as of today. It was especially tasty today (fresh out the kitchen, no delivery lag) and the portions were great.

The pad Thai was good but there is arguably better in the city. It’s tasty but just a tad bit too liquidly for my liking.

What is really making me give this place 5 stars is the thai style fried rice. After having it at other Thai places and seeing how bland it can be, I was surprised after trying my friend’s Thai fried rice with beef how much flavor it had. It was distinctively different from my spicy Basil, but had a unique flavor profile that’s worth revisiting.

I’m glad I was able to dine in today. My true rating is about a 4.4-4.5/5 but will give the 5 stars all things considered.

While I came and nobody greeted, seated me, or asked if they could help so I decided to leave.

I ordered the seafood Koa Soy. I told my server that I love spice, and he gave me some chili on the side to add as much as I liked. I ended up putting all of what he gave me into it, and I cannot stress enough how much it added to an already-excellent dish. Good spicy food is flavorful, and is not overpowered by the heat — that’s exactly what Dancing Crab accomplishes with their menu. I recommend their Koa Soy to anyone.

After the meal, I enjoyed a refreshing Thai iced tea. Also good, wonderful to have after a savory meal.

All in all, I look forward to exploring the rest of what they have to offer. I came at a very quiet hour, so the place was rather empty. I’m sure it has more activity later on, which you may or may not prefer. I like being around people when I am out, so I may try to stop by when the sun goes down instead of in the early evening.

First time here. Not many people inside, which seemed odd for a Friday night. However! Lot of people coming in and out for takeout. We got three appetizers. The dancing shrimp, the crab rangoons, and the pulled pork bun. The rangoons and the shrimp were 5/5 delicious. I give the pork bun a 3/5. because I did not particularly enjoy the sweetness of the meat. But to each their own! We got the pad see ew with tofu and a spice level of 4. Delicious !! Will note that next time we may get a spice level of 3, but we’re white, so that checks out. Food was hot (temperature wise), came out in a timely manner, and staff was nice. Would try again!

We ordered the duck noodle soup, pad see ew with duck, and steamed pot stickers (dumplings) and everything was AMAZING!!! Do not miss out!

I am partial to one Thai restaurant from my hometown, but this place is THE Spot. Absolutely delicious food, and they are pumping out orders constantly to meet demand in-house & online. I recommend coming here and giving it a shot.

Food is delicious and the staff is so friendly. They went out of their way to accomodate our party of 15 and gave us great service with a smile even though you could tell they were super busy (because the food is great)! Our server sang my friend a wonderful birthday song that made our night. Love this place!
