Nicky's Thai Kitchen

I love this place! Absolutely beautiful ambiance with a menu and food to match. Short take: highly, highly recommended. This was the next stop on our getting-to-know-Pittsburgh tour. It was recommended by one of my partner's new coworkers, and I will be sure to take all of her advice moving forward. From the moment you enter, you walk down a long narrow hall to where the host is waiting. You get the feeling you've walked through a portal into a secret world. The indoor dining room is elegant and beautifully lighted, amazing art on the walls. Leaving the indoor dining, you walk down a narrow sidewalk lined with fountains and Thai sculptures and find your way back to the outdoor dining area. Even though spacious, the placement of plants and statues gives it an intimate feel. The menu has too many interesting choices! It's the kind of place you know you'll need to visit again to try everything. We ordered the crispy fried red snapper with bok choy, and went traditional with the pad thai for our second dish. They were both amazing! You can choose your level of spiciness from 1 (mild) to 5 (HAWT!). We went in the middle with a 3 and that was plenty hot for us. We might step down to 2 next time. The portions were very large and we got at least two more meals out of what we took home. They don't serve alcohol but there's an interesting looking beer place across the street that we may check out next time.

Such a great place! The drinks were delicious and beautiful. The food was even better! The dumplings are the best! Service was so nice and quick. Our bartender was great!!

First time at Nicky's, and it was superb. We each got a different kind of curry so we can have a taste treat. Red, green, massaman, and Panang. It's all delicious with Panang, my favorite. #4 spiciness was not overbearing. Will definitely be back.

I have been here several times for dine in and have never been disappointed. The location is legit in someone's home so it has a very comfortable feel. If you get the chance when it's warm sit outside in the back patio. There are statues and flowers and a large fountain. It is absolutely beautiful. The service has always been very polite and helpful. I highly recommend the flower tea and the spicy noodle. Their curries are delicious as well.

Imagine someone driving you down a gravel road in an old car. The road cuts through a farmers fields of Low growing Vegetables. You put the window down and smell the air, a cow turns to watch you pass in the distance. That is the beef noodle. It was wonderful. The staff were very attentive, a small shop but ran by people who care and keep it very clean. Nice portions, the price is worth it.
