Pricey but worth it. Normally has between one and two options for dinner

Outstanding food: roti, beef cheek, sweet sticky rice
Fast service: no rush but it was quick from ordering to eating. Staff was very attentive and the back drop of the garden was outstanding.

Everything top tier from the food to the service and drinks! You have to get the roti, pork belly was cooked to perfection. Tom yum soup was decent. The grilled shrimp dish taste straight out of Bangkok!

Incredible food, drinks and service! The atmosphere is lovely as well, it's a treat to dine in the garden when the weather is warm. They have very creative and delicious cocktails, I enjoyed their take on an old fashioned with chai tea and smoked cedar. I recommend ordering family style so you can try as much as possible. The roti with chicken curry, pork satay, tuna laab, 17 ingredient salad, stir fried morning glory and mushrooms, chicken jungle curry and khao soi beef cheek were all delicious!!! We also enjoyed the coconut ice cream and Thai custard for dessert, it's hard to go wrong here when everything on the menu is so good. Tables are hard to book, but if you can't get a reservation you can walk in if you show up 15-20 minutes before they open

Fantastic food, experience and atmosphere. The ambience is so charming and earthy. If you go at night, you‘ll wonder if you’re even still in Pittsburgh. I will be coming back for every special occasion. Can’t wait to get a seat in the garden when Pittsburgh thaws out in a few months. Definitely recommend the crispy shrimp, beef tenderloin and 17 ingredient salad (forgot to take a picture, I was too excited to dig in). I highly doubt anything on the menu will disappoint you though.

After hearing great reviews about this place and reading great reviews, we decided to try it out but was disappointed in the food and part of the service.

Food - 2/5
For those who have had authentic Thai food and have grown up eating it, the place made dishes that were not at all authentic. It was more of a Thai fusion. We had the Tom Yum soup, Khao Yum salad (17 ingredients salad), beef tenderloin and coconut ice cream with peanuts, jackfruit and sticky rice to finish off. For the Tom Yum, it was decent but have a bit too much coconut milk making it a bit sweet and less savory. The soup also lacks heat for some. For the Khao Yum salad, it was a bit sweet for my liking. I saw that there was fish sauce to dress the salad but the fish sauce was overly sweet making the entire salad very sweet. The beef tenderloin was disappointing where we only received a small portion of rice for 2 people. The rice was not cooked properly and mushy although a rice cooker was spotted at the restaurant. For $36, it was not worth the price we paid for. The coconut ice cream was very small (for $7) and did not have any jackfruit in it as it was claimed. When we asked a waitress, we were told that jackfruit doesn't have a distinct flavor and the coconut flavor masked it. As a person who eats jackfruit every single year when they are in season, this doesn't seem right. The ice cream was also very icy and frozen and not creamy as expected.

Atmosphere and location - 3/5
The place was pretty nice with decent decor inside. Parking wasn't hard to find so location is not bad at all.

Service - 2 to 2.5/5
Service was kind of sloppy while removing the plates from the table, the food sauces just fall onto the table without being wiped. Not very displeased with service but also not entirely happy either.

Price - 1/5
For the food and service quality that you expect to receive, this price is not worthy. For $50 per pax (our total bill + tax + tip was almost $100 and we shared everything), I would recommend to try out other restaurants that have better food and better dining experience for a cheaper price point.

Overall - I think the place is overhyped with not very exciting Thai dishes. For a person who doesn't eat curry, this place doesn't seem to fit since half the menu has curry in them so I would recommend going to other Thai restaurants in Pittsburgh.

Consistently one of the best restaurants in Pittsburgh. We've been here several times over the years and have never had less than a 5-star experience. The restaurant itself is beautiful - upscale decor, comfy seating, and an outdoor garden area that is available for seating during the warmer months. On this occasion, we came on a Wednesday night around 6:45 PM (without a reservation) and were able to snag a couple seats at the bar within a few minutes. The cocktails were creative and well-balanced. The wines and beers on tap are curated to pair with their Thai inspired menu. We started with the yellow curry with roti (a usual for us) and pork tenderloin satay. For our mains, we ordered the pumpkin curry and crispy shrimp. Everything was delicious. Service was prompt and friendly. Love having this gem of a restaurant in our neighborhood!

Really pretty inside. I wasn't crazy about the bench style seating in some areas, since the other diners seemed quite close by, but it was fine. The service was very attentive and polite. Food was very good. I was just slightly disappointed in the lack of spice for a Thai restaurant. I was expecting a bit more of heat. We loved our meals though, and would definitely go back.

The roti and curry to start paired so well together. Gave us a taste of the curry too. We got the laab mushroom salad and beef tenderloin to complete our meal. The beef was spicy but very flavorful.

Great spot!

This restaurant is beautiful, with delicious food and outstanding service. I’d recommend making a reservation, though. We came as walk-ins and had a 1.5-hour wait for a table. Thankfully, we decided to hang out and see if something opened up at the bar, and after about 20 minutes, we were able to grab a spot. 🙏🏼
