Nicky's Thai Kitchen

Very popular Thai spot in Pittsburgh. They have multiple locations as well, including one in downtown but I went to try this spot in the North Side. It is really good but quite expensive. I got to try their chicken satay, Tom kha soup, pad see ew with tofu, and Thai custard. Now, the Tom kha soup I didn’t have very much of, but it was decent. Lots of coconut milk to balance the spice (not too spicy at all), but I’m just not really used to this flavor. The chicken satay, though, was really good. Very lean chicken grilled perfectly with a nice sauce. Definitely recommend. As for the mains, the pad see ew was also very tasty. Quite noodle heavy here, which I don’t mind. The vegetables are fresh, and the tofu was nicely cooked. Definitely recommend as well. Finally, the Thai custard. It was also excellent. Interestingly, there’s a hint of chocolate as well or something of the sort besides just coconut milk. But still, very good, very creamy, and just a nice dessert. All in all, I really like this spot. They have awesome outdoor seating if you are able to catch it (indoors is great too with all the nice paintings and such but more crowded). Portions are big, but the prices are pretty high as well. Still, I’d recommend.

Nicky’s Thai Kitchen in the Northside is top notch Thai food. They have many authentic dishes like pad see ew and curries. I got the pineapple curry with beef which was full of sweet and spicy flavor. The service is great and the place is cozy being in an old row house.

Restaurant with the best ambience in Pittsburgh. Outside seating is even more beautiful. Food is great. I liked their mango sticky rice.
