Very good Thai food all around; probably some of the best Thai in Pittsburgh and one of the top restaurants in the area. Tonight, I tried their pad see ew with vegetables and the volcano roti. Both were excellent.

The pad see ew was saucy...finally! A place that is liberal with the sauce almost always satisfies me. Here, this sauce is flavorful and has the right balance of sweet to saltiness. It's got just a hint of spice, even when you order a 0 on the spice scale. These noodles are thick and chewy, as they should be. The dish isn't too oily and has a nice portion for the price. Keep in mind when they say they make Thai street food, the portions are still going to be plentiful.

My only qualm with their pad see ew (and most of their entrees, for that matter) is that they up-charge you for every protein. Not just shrimp, mixed meat, seafood, beef, pork, but also for chicken and even tofu. So, the price can quickly add up, but it's still fairly reasonable. They are definitely liberal with the vegetables, too, and they give a nice variety. There's Chinese broccoli (gailan), corn, green beans, and other vegetables. To me, they were a bit undercooked. I also personally prefer more noodles than protein or vegetables so the ratio was a bit skewed in my opinion, but for most people, this should be a plus.

The volcano roti definitely blew me away. Easily a five star dessert which would be even better a la mode. The crispy roti with the delicious chocolate roti on top is alone incredible, and not overly sweet. The texture is perfect too. But then you add the condensed milk on top, and it knocks your socks off.

All in all, this is a great little Thai spot with what seems to be a charming atmosphere. The food is cheap for the portion, but you do have to pay extra for any protein. The volcano roti is insanely...

No matter how bad you want to finish the delicious entrees, save room for desert! This cute spot on Murray Avenue has such a sweet homey feel. Our server was excellent, very attentive and friendly. I ordered a Thai iced coffee and to my surprise she brought over a huge tankard filled to the brim 😂 I am not complaining by any means, I was on cloud 98 (see what I did there? 😜) We started our meal off with the Golden Tofu. It was very hot which is essential for good fried tofu. The nuggets could have used a little more salt but only to add to the wonderful flavor of the sweet chili peanut sauce. It kind of made me feel like a kid again eating sweet and sour chicken when my family ordered Chinese food. For our entrees we got the Tom Yum Fried rice with shrimp and the Shrimp Spaghetti Kee Mao. Both incredible and complex with flavors I personally don’t come across everyday. The shrimp spaghetti was a tiny bit too salty in my opinion but not enough to fuss about, I’m more just trying to think of what they could work on. To finish off our amazing meal we got the mango sticky rice! I had somehow never tried this dish until today. I am usually too full by the end but this time I planned ahead!! The warm, gooey rice went so perfectly with the cold, perfectly ripe mango. And then dipping it in the coconut milk sauce was just a dream😍 We will definitely be coming back as we have dubbed this the new best Thai place that we have been to. Thank you for having...
