Pusadee's Garden · Lawrenceville
Pusadee's Garden serves Thai cooking in a garden setting in Lawrenceville. The room and pacing are part of the experience, making it a destination for a seated dinner.
Nicky's Thai Kitchen · North Side
Nicky's Thai Kitchen serves curries, noodles, rice dishes, and familiar appetizers from its Western Avenue dining room. Its North Side setting and broad menu support either a straightforward weeknight meal or a longer dinner built around several dishes.
Noodlehead · Shadyside
Noodlehead focuses on Thai noodle dishes in a compact South Highland Avenue restaurant. The casual, streamlined setting makes it useful for lunch or an unfussy dinner, especially when the craving is for noodles rather than a broad survey of Thai cooking.
Maenam Thai · Blawnox
Maenam Thai is a small Blawnox kitchen built around Supannee Khansuwan's Thai cooking. Her tom yum soup brings shrimp and a bright, spicy broth; green papaya salad, grilled pork skewers with sticky rice, and khao soi give the menu more range. The Freeport Road shop began with just a few tables, and its food has also been served as takeout for a meal by the river.
