Boyfriend and I were around the corner at Dirty Harry's one Tuesday afternoon when we began to feel a bit peckish. The staff at DH quickly directed us to Pittsburgh Thai. We walked in and were quickly seated by a friendly server. The place is small. It only has around ten tables, but the atmosphere is very pleasant. Fresh flowers can be found on each tabletop. After perusing the menu for a bit, I chose the panang curry and boyfriend opted for the fish basil entree. Shortly after we placed our orders, we were given bowls of simple chicken soup and a single crab rangoon. Both were very tasty. Our lunches arrived shortly thereafter. The (chicken) panang was delicious and cooked with fresh broccoli, bell peppers, and other vegetables. Boyfriend's fish was crispy and flavorful and served in a delicious spicy basil sauce. We found out that for dinner hours, this restaurant is BYOB with no corking fee. Fantastic. Albeit small, Pittsburgh Thai has a lot of flavorful food for decent prices. We will return.

Great food for mom n me. Two other restaurants were too busy around the holidays. Mom said my brother liked this place and since it was 7:30 .... Not much of a decision. Mom got the Honey Chicken special. She's finishing the last pc. of chk. as I write this. They made her extra sauce when asked. I could not finish my Yellow Chicken Curry. It was very good but there was too much food! Give this place a thumbs up and if I didn't live in NC, I'd be back soon.

Yummy! A great cozy place in downtown Verona. Best Thai food. They make anything. I have a gluten allergy and they have made me special meals with no side effects. Enjoyed sitting outside, if you love Thai food, this is a must stop when you are coming thru VERONA.

Second visit and both have been great. The seafood dishes are great and the veggies are always plentiful and fresh. Really enjoyed the Larb Salad with chicken and chili lime dressing. The food is spicy so when they ask how hot you want it stay on the low end of your usual comfort range (1-10). It will be plenty spicy.

We arrived before 6pm, no crowded rush for a Saturday evening. Atmosphere was calm and quiet, relaxed. Great aromas of curry and spices. Excellent service. Ordered two perfectly delicious (and spiced to order!) entrees as well as two Thai iced teas and the fresh spring rolls. Totally a wonderful experience. We will be back for sure.

Such great service and food! We were visiting Pittsburgh for a few days and staying in Monroeville. Decided we wanted Thai food on a Thursday evening and checked out the options on Yelp. Selected Boris' Thai restaurant and drove about 20 minutes to get there. Pulled up and we were immediately seated. Waiter was super friendly and we had a nice discussion with him about Thai culture and food. We ordered our dishes and were also given complimentary Thai iced teas which were delicious. We both ordered curries and were very happy with the taste and presentation. Would highly recommend and will eat here again given the opportunity.

Thought this place was wonderful... However the last time we ate there we got take out, when I transferred my dinner onto a plate... I found a cockroach mixed in with my chicken and veggies. Very disappointed. We became regulars very fast after moving into the area, needless to say we have not returned.

What a nice, quiet little Thai restaurant! The decor is classy, the lighting is low... a trip to Pittsburgh Thai would make for a cozy date night. My only complaint is that since it was so small, it should have been easy to keep it warm in there... but it was NOT warm. I left my coat on. I didn't go, but everyone in my party claimed it was worse in the restroom. I know it's wintertime, and it's an especially bitter winter we're having, but still. Somewhere around 70 would be nice. We got crab rangoons as an appetizer, and they were delicious! Some of the best I've had. I just wish there was more. Very crispy, not at all greasy, and they had a wonderful cheesy flavor. The pineapple sauce was sweet and complimented it well. I got the red curry and I requested it spicy, about an 8. I love heat. The curry came out wonderfully, the perfect balance of flavor and heat. It highlighted the red pepper, bamboo, and eggplant well, and my chicken was tender and flavorful. Gradually the heat seeps in and warms your soul. Made my nose run a little, but that's how I like it! You receive nice large portions, so if you have a mini stomach like I do, you will have enough leftovers to last you several lunches. Most everybody else got pad thai and thoroughly enjoyed it. In fact, that's what most of the dinner conversation revolved around, how good all of our dishes were. I had been, in the back of my head, desiring some thai iced tea for about a week now, and the thai iced tea I was served really hit the spot. My poor uncultured friends had never seen such a drink before, so I was happy to introduce them to something new. All-in-all a great experience. The service was friendly, polite and non-intrusive. After our orders were taken, the server became practically invisible. Water glasses were magically refilled and empty plates were whisked away by fairies. 20% tip for you sir. BYOB was nice too, I really like places that offer that. I will most definitely visit again!

Thai food by a dude named Boris? I was skeptical. I love Thai food. Mediocre Thai food just saddens me. I was very very happy when I left Pittsburgh Thai by Boris. You go Boris! I love that they ask on a 10-point scale how spicy you would like your curry. I ordered a curry without coconut milk, which would have balanced the spice somewhat, so I went with 6. Next time, I might go with a 5. It was the Jungle Curry, with chicken and a ton of veggies - string beans, carrot, snow peas, cabbage, mushrooms. The steamed dumplings were great, too - light and fresh tasting, not the unfortunate gummy, heavy dumplings you see at some other places. The waiter was knowledgeable and attentive. The restaurant itself was small but clean and simply decorated. It's a gem. Don't ever close, Boris!

This place was excellent. Some of the best Thai food that I have ever had. The service was good and our waitress was really nice. Also, a big plus as always is that it is BYOB and their is no corking fee. My only gripe and it is a very little gripe is that they asked how spicy I wanted my food from 1 to 10 and I requested a 10. I would say that what I got was more along the lines of a 7 or 8 even for American standards. However, the food was still delicious and I will be going back there again.

Pat V.
Delicious and expertly prepared! Textures of different and perfectly cooked vegetables wonderful. My spice level 7.5/10 has my lips pleasantly burning. Decor plain, but who cares?! Jungle curry will leave you the picture of health, spicy peanut stir fry makes any thought of Happy Family an embarrassment. Custard sticky rice like flan on sticky rice. Go here!

Me and my girlfriend completely loved this place. Then we got takeout one night and it literally had a roach in it. Luckily my girlfriend did not eat it. Called and they admitted they had a problem. Do not eat here there is much better Thai in the city. I know the food tastes good but this place is simply not sanitary

Tara S.
I cannot stress enough how amazing this place is. My boyfriend and I have been here multiple times and every time have loved everything we have gotten. The crying tiger appetizer is one of our favs and as for entrees, we've tried the Rad Na, Beef Pad Prik, Pumpkin Curry, Duck Curry, Mango Fried Rice etc and have never been disappointed. The restaurant is small inside but the service is fabulous. The food is top notch at a reasonable price and it is BYOB with no cork fee. Definitely recommend!

This is easily the best thai food in Pittsburgh. I wasn't sure what to expect because it is a tiny restaurant in an out of the way area. But I suppose that those are sometimes the best culinary treats. The dining room is tiny. There were between six or eight tables. They also had two tables outside on the "patio" overlooking the street. When we entered, they asked if we had a reservation. We didn't, but thankfully they had room for us. We were in a corner next to the window which was nice because it gave us more space than some of the tables in the back near where the restrooms are. We started with appetizers. I had the thai toast and my husband the thom Kha soup. The thai toast was seasoned perfectly and was a larger portion then you get at many places. The cucumber sauce condiment was so tasty I asked for extra. The Thom Kha was a perfect balance of spice and sweet and we liked it so much it was tempting to lick to bowl to get every last drop. My husband had the drunken noodles and I had the pad thai (although it was tough to make a decision because everything seemed so appealing. The food was cooked to perfection just to the desired spice level we requested. The portions were large and there was a lot of meat. The service was attentive but not in your face. They were accomodating to requests and kept our water glasses full. It is a BYOB restaurant, so if you like to drink wine with your meal, bring it along. I loved our experience here and will certainly be back.

Wow! My taste buds are in love! I wanted to be rid of my poor experience of Thai food the night before at a different Thai establishment and reclaim my love for Thai cusine so I headed here, a place I was none too keen on during my previous visit due to being ignored by my server. This visit was a complete turn-around. Service and food were great. I started out with a salad with homemade pineapple dressing that my server recommended. Exquisite and refreshing. Then, I ordered the Yellow Mango Curry Chicken that I had my eye on during my previous visit but didn't get to. The presentation was quite lovely but OMG! Seriously. Not joshing. I could have licked my plate. Yellow curry may be my new found love. All I know is that my taste buds were stilll craving the slightly sweet and spicy broth long after my meal was done (that's a good thing, BTW). The price was quite reasonable for lunch -- $8.50 for the salad (you could opt for the soup instead) and curry chicken dish. I still want more.... P.S. Thanks go out to a fellow yelper who said to give them another try!

Thai by Boris is fantastic! We have been eating here for about two years now. Well prepared curries and pad tai. Owners are friendly and on the spot if your in a hurry. I turned my parents on to Thai. They love it so much they haven't been to Chinese in two years! Sometimes we hit Boris' twice in a week but definitely monthly. BYOB is a bonus to the exquisite food.

I am originally from Pittsburgh, but have lived in Chicago for the last 15 years. I was here visiting my mother & we drove by this restaurant and I told her we should try it sometime during my stay. She has not had much Thai food in her life, but she was willing to try it. I'm so glad we did and so is she! It's a very small place (maybe around 10 tables) and we were greeted by Gary. SUCH a very nice guy! Boris, the co-owner and chef, also came out a few times to chat and deliver some of our food. So sweet! You won't go for the ambiance (but it is cute inside); you'll be back for the food, though. We started off by splitting an order of samosas. My mother had never had these (I've only had them in Indian restaurants), but she loved them. I did also. Very tasty, not spicy, they came with a lovely, sweet sauce (5 to an order). We both had chicken pad thai. Gary asked about the spice level desired. I went with a 5 and my mother had a 1. Both of us were pleased. I like a medium amount of spice and Boris got it just right! The portion was very generous (I finished mine, my mother brought about a 1/3 of hers home) and quite tasty! The chicken was moist, the flavors just right. It was accompanied by a small salad with homemade dressing that was sweet & very tasty. They both could not have been any nicer and were very accommodating. They do not offer delivery, but you can call ahead for take out. Boris said they do get busy on Fridays & Saturdays and I certainly hope they do; this place is a neighborhood gem and deserves to stay in business. My mother was very excited and said that she would be back. I told her that when I'm in town, we're definitely going back! SO GOOD! The best part is that everything was so fresh! My biggest complaint is when you go to a restaurant and you get your order within minutes after you arrive! What that means is that it's been sitting around, staying warm until you come in. I'd much rather have it prepared fresh & that's exactly what you get when you come here! I'll be back! P.S. They are closed from 3 - 5 (I'm not sure if that's every day or not) as that is when they do a lot of their prep work. Call ahead to make sure.

Very good Thai food. Our first visit, but I wasn't sure what to expect. We were convinced by other Yelp reviews. It's way out in Verona along the river. Easier to get to from the east bank of the Alleghany. Parking was on street. Free parking in the town, we walked a short block. The dining room is small with a few decorations of elephants and such. the music was okay, sort of a modern asian flavor. There were about 8 tables, but some could be put together for a big table for a larger party. We were given a choice of a table near the corner and a table near a wall. The space between the tables was a bit crowded, when it's full, people have to get up to get out of your way, near the bathroom. For a friday afternoon at 5 it wasn't too bad, but I got the impression it fills up on weekends, and reservations would be recommended. The menu is full of choices but laid out well so that you order appetizer, entrees, soup, noodles, etc by category, and then pick what is in it, specifying the meat, which determines the price for most things. No pictures of the food you'll get, but the menu is in clean English and clearly describes, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, cashews, peanut sauce, etc. for each specific choice, then you add your meat or tofu. Made it VERY easy to order. We had a little Spring roll combo sampler. 3 small egg roll things and some sort of cut like california rolls, but a vegetable sort of roll. Very good! a good sweet sauce and a sort of spicy chili sauce. Really tasty. I ordered mixed vegetables with garlic and tofu, spiced zero . My wife ordered Jungle curry, which was a sort of a vegetable and meat soup, spiced at 3. Great service from the waiter and the owner/chef, Boris. Very nice guys, polite, fast, efficient. The waiter came out with our tea right away. The portions were large, but not overly so. If you order an entree, it's not really enough for two hungry people to sharte or split, like some places. And within the dish, there was a lot of vegetables, cooked just right,vmeat, or tofu as ordered, and it was temperature hot, and spiced exactly how we ordered it. Two generous bowls of rice went with each. Chopsticks offered. In the end, we were more than full, but we decided to try deseert. They were out of everything, except this thing called "pumpkin, custard sticky rice." Okay, so this thing arrives on a plate with drizzled chocolate. Brown and black rich, sweet, warm custard quiche sort of thing. That was the best part of the whole meal! Glad we ordered it. would be cool to go there even just for that dessert. I really liked the place. It seemed like a small mom and pop Thai restaurant, run by Thais. A little bit pricey, but it's hard to get Thai food in Pittsburgh. We will go again, for sure.

Stopped in here for lunch earlier today with my dad, beating out a slight rush. Three other groups came in shortly after us. We were quickly seated and ordered within a few minutes. For appetizers we got the steamed dumplings and the Thai toast. The dumplings were some of the better I've had in pittsburgh, but the Thai toast was the star in my opinion. It was flaky and crispy and the sauce served with it was just perfect. For our main dishes my father ordered a seafood soup with glass noodles, I only tried the broth but it was definitely tasty. I got the spicy mango curry chicken, this was one of the best curries I have ever tasted. The perfect amount of both sweet and spicy. Overall, service was good, food was amazing, check this place out for sure.

Delicious Thai food in a nice little town on the river. The coconut soup was delivered to the table almost boiling hot, but once it cooled down it was great. I had the panang curry which was the perfect level of spicy without compromising the taste. I'll be eating here next time I'm in town.

No pictures of the food you'll get, but the menu is in clean English and clearly describes, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, cashews, peanut sauce, etc. for each specific choice, then you add your meat or tofu. Made it VERY easy to order. We had a little Spring roll combo sampler. 3 small egg roll things and some sort of cut like california rolls, but a vegetable sort of roll. Very good! a good sweet sauce and a sort of spicy chili sauce. Really tasty. I ordered mixed vegetables with garlic and tofu, spiced zero . My wife ordered Jungle curry, which was a sort of a vegetable and meat soup, spiced at 3. Great service from the waiter and the owner/chef, Boris. Very nice guys, polite, fast, efficient. The waiter came out with our tea right away. The portions were large, but not overly so. If you order an entree, it's not really enough for two hungry people to sharte or split, like some places. And within the dish, there was a lot of vegetables, cooked just right,vmeat, or tofu as ordered, and it was temperature hot, and spiced exactly how we ordered it. Two generous bowls of rice went with each. Chopsticks offered. In the end, we were more than full, but we decided to try deseert. They were out of everything, except this thing called "pumpkin, custard sticky rice." Okay, so this thing arrives on a plate with drizzled chocolate. Brown and black rich, sweet, warm custard quiche sort of thing. That was the best part of the whole meal! Glad we ordered it. would be cool to go there even just for that dessert. I really liked the place. It seemed like a small mom and pop Thai restaurant, run by Thais. A little bit pricey, but it's hard to get Thai food in Pittsburgh. We will go again, for sure.

Stopped in here for lunch earlier today with my dad, beating out a slight rush. Three other groups came in shortly after us. We were quickly seated and ordered within a few minutes. For appetizers we got the steamed dumplings and the Thai toast. The dumplings were some of the better I've had in pittsburgh, but the Thai toast was the star in my opinion. It was flaky and crispy and the sauce served with it was just perfect. For our main dishes my father ordered a seafood soup with glass noodles, I only tried the broth but it was definitely tasty. I got the spicy mango curry chicken, this was one of the best curries I have ever tasted. The perfect amount of both sweet and spicy. Overall, service was good, food was amazing, check this place out for sure.

Delicious Thai food in a nice little town on the river. The coconut soup was delivered to the table almost boiling hot, but once it cooled down it was great. I had the panang curry which was the perfect level of spicy without compromising the taste. I'll be eating here next time I'm in town.

Crispy duck basil was delicious as was the spicy noodles with chicken... We also shared the spring roll combo and tom Kai soup! Always a favorite. It's always good, never too busy and fast.

Well presented food, curry puffs were wonderful. Basil fried rice was the best. No refills on coke The rangoons were not worth ordering at all. I drove out of my way to eat here. Veggie spring rolls were very pretty. The thom Kai soup disappointed in flavor and spice
