Thai Gourmet

the place has some great food; great selection and atmosphere. however, there are two points of contention- the smug lady who runs the shop can be a real bitch; not only showing a i'm-better-than-you attitude and aughing behind the backs of her customers, but also bossing her kid sister around. so that isn't very pleasant. i go back for the food, and that's it. more

The food here is amazing. Anything from the basil fried rice with chicken to the lotus salad. The lotus salad has amazingly fresh ingredients and an awesome combination of flavors. Pros: Food, Staff, Value Cons: None! more

OK, I had never heard of this place. My sister-in-law told my wife about it and we went there. It would be very easy to miss or dismiss when looking at it from the outside. However, that would be a big mistake. Pros: Great layering of flavors, not too many choices to overwhelm you Cons: Parking can be tough at times in the area, but it is worth it more

This is my favorite restaurant in Pittsburgh! The food is the best you'll get anywhere in the city--always fresh, flavorful, and prepared the way *you* want. (I don't know where the comment about being ""too spicy"" comes from--it's Thai food--c'mon! If you can't handle it, go to Applebees and eat cardboard. Besides, they have plenty of mild dishes at Thai Gourmet). The menu has many options--all very reasonably priced. Most dishes are in the $8-12 range, and I always go home with enough leftovers for at least one more full meal. The staff members are friendly, and service is very fast! The place is fairly small, and tends to get crowded on Fridays-Mondays; go mid-week and you can almost have the place to yourself. Try it, you'll like it! Pros: Large menu, fresh ingredients, tasty food! Cons: Doesn't look like much from the outside... more

This is a simple, family run restaurant that serves GREAT food at very reasonable prices. The authentic food and friendly staff remind us of our vacation in Thailand. We love this place. Also, you can specify the spice level from 1 to 10 (most white-folk should stay below 6). more

First, I really don't know what the other poster is talking about. I have never had an issue with the food being ""too spicy"" and have ordered several curry dishes from Thai Gormet in the past. In my opinion, the food is great. The spices aren't too overwhelming, but the food is very flavorful. The prices are really reasonable for the vast amount of food that you get. The last time I ordered take-out from there, my food lasted for three meals! Also, the take-out order took only 10 minutes, which is pretty great. I highly recommend their pineapple curry and sweet and sour dishes. The only downside is the inside of the place - it reminds me of a cheesy diner. This definitely wasn't enough to turn me off to the place, though. Pros: price, service, quality of food Cons: atmosphere of restaurant more

They have the best summer rolls around, but I cannot recommend this restaurant because their food is extremely spicy, to the point of dangerous. Even when you specify that it not be spicy on a level system, it is still too hot. Another reason I cannot recommend it is that they advertise free delivery, and they do not deliver 9 out of 10 times that you call. It is false advertising. When asked what days the do deliver, they say only when they are not busy! What a joke. But, if you want a great summer roll, and you want your food so hot and spicy that you might need a tongue transplant, by all means stop in, but don't call for delivery. You'll be out of luck Pros: the summer rolls Cons: too spicy, and they won't deliver on their promise of free delivery. more
