Ordered the papaya salad and duck salad with 2 orders of sticky rice. Both salads were sweet and I'm more accustomed to savory Thai dishes. I wish i had known the duck was fried becuse i wouldn't have odered that. There was so little dreasing, or it was absorbed by the breading. Ether way it did not make for a pleasant feel in my mouth. The sticky rice serving was the smallest serving I've every recieved. Will not be going back

Stumbled across Silk elephant after the Pittsburgh rain storms. Immediately im amazed by not only the atmosphere, but the prices! On top of that, Generous portions, fast -friendly service, & affordable. This place has all the potential to be a hidden gem that I would definitely gatekeep. But, the food fell a little short.
What we ordered
Food: Salmon dumplings 10/10 these need a bigger portion !!!
Crab crowns: 9/10 nothing special but not skimpy on the filling and dripping sauce was nice
Pakang curry: 8/10 solid choice. good but skimpy chicken portion. Going to be a lot of veggies and very little protein.
Calamari:….very overcooked couldn’t even rip a bite off. Despite it being over cooked, this & the crab crowns arrived to the table cold! The ( very nice) lady attending to us was very nice and obliged my request of having it remade just so I could enjoy a hot meal(shoutout to her) Maybe 7 mins later I’m presented with the same plates I sent back just with visibly darker food now. So they reheated food that already touched the table and my person. I work in food service so this threw me off for healthy and safety reasons. Besides from that I enjoyed my dining experience and would be willing to give it another try should the health conditions approve.

This is without a doubt a great spot for a satisfying meal! I had the Pad See Ew noodles and they were absolutely delicious. I went with a spice level of 3—it had a nice kick but was still very manageable and enjoyable. I also tried the Thai iced tea; while it was flavorful, it was a bit too sweet for my taste.

Luncheon Pad Thai was dry, tasteless, and devoid of any veg or protein but 6 very overcooked shrimp, the latter costing a $2.00 up-charge. Lots of cream cheese in their appitizer/tapas items...a new feature of Thai cuisine? Complimentary sides of a small salad and spring roll were average. Others at table had better luck with a veggie mix in brown sauce, but no raves. The best item was a pumpkin curry off the regular menu at a dinner price. Server was good, atmosphere drab. Will not be rushing back.

A perfect place for a happy hour with friends or a family dinner with kids. Everything on the menu that we've tried has been excellent, including the cocktails!

Our food was tasty especially the tom yum soup, portion wise it's a bit much for main course. But other than that i highly recommend to try their tom yum (if you're into something spicy and sour)

Got mango sticky rice, and taro custard with sticky rice. Both tasted delicious, but I wish the rice wasn't so hard. Made it a bit less enjoyable.
