The absolute worst Thai food experience!! Overpriced, extremely slow service and the worst tasting food!! Four of us went there...the noodles were overly salty and the curries overly sweet. Save your money and don't go there at all!!

Went here just to try out and was incredibly impressed with the food. Rivals some of the best Thai/Vietnamese restaurants I've visited. Staff was friendly and I never had to ask for a refill. Portions were large but not stupid, food was hot and delicious...great place to eat!! B

First, I love Thai food. Second, anyone who is making the statement that Thai Foon either a. serves traditional Thai food or b. that they do NOT serve traditional Thai food is nuts. There's no such thing in the US. Most people I know would run screaming out of the kitchen of most traditional restaurants in Bangkok. Trust me. Then...cut me a break. Dude. lol I've eaten Thai food from all over the world and this compares favorably with 80% of the Thai restaurants I've eaten in. Their dishes have the "kick" they should. Their curries are sweet when they should be, sharp when they need to be. Is their chef going to win awards? No, but then again, most chefs would be satisfied if the majority of people in the restaurant love what they're eating. Basil noodles are very good. Their soups are interesting and flavorful, but not over the top! If you like Thai food, try it.

Really enjoy the red curry and pad thai. Bubble tea is really good here too. The staff is always friendly and accommodating to people (I've watched for this). The coconut rice is delicious! There are only 2 private seating areas. The other seating is mediocre at best, but the food is great
(4)Sarah E.
This place was awesome! Great pad thai and spicy basil noodles. Waiter was very attentive, restaurant was extremely clean. Would definitely go back again!
(5)Dale A.
Excellent chicken lettuce wrap with plenty of lettuce for all of the chicken. The Tom ka was some of the best I ever had. Not too creamy just the right amount of sour and spice. Normally I have it with chicken but this was with tofu and it was just as good. The pad thai was good however it could have used a little more sweetness to complement the sourness. Nothing a packet of sugar from the table could not resolve. Plenty of peanuts on the pad thai. The bobba milk tea was excellent and the tapioca balls were cooked just right. It would be nice if they had more private seating and booths instead of a cafeteria like atmosphere. Overall a restaurant food that I would highly recommend

Guise. About Thai Foon not being an authentic, traditional Thai fine-dining restaurant. IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE! You only make yourself look ridiculous -- rather than "in the know" or "like a sophisticated foodie" -- if you complain about how some dish at Thai Foon is not made the authentic Thai way. Seriously. Dude. It's a place in a strip mall. Called THAI FOON. Painted orange inside. With no Thai people eating or working there. With a glossy menu and stuff like crab rangoons. Dude. How can you come here and expect traditional Thai fine dining? Are you the guy who calls the Top 40 station and requests Sigur Ros? Dude. No. It's Thai-inspired. And it's damn good. The noodle dishes are a bit like fried spaghetti. The soups are like Campbell with a kick. Nothing bland here, and if you just close your eyes and imagine we are now eating the cuisine of a country called Thaifoonia, you'll love it too. I promise. Prices are reasonable. Service is typical for high school kids who have no financial stake in the business. Decor is like McDonalds turned up a notch. Bask in it.

This place was more like Chinese than Thai, with the exception of a few classic dishes, except they charged $1.50 for the hot tea; which comes as a tea bag and a cup of hot water. They don't serve alcohol but encourage you to buy wine from a store next door and then charge you $3.00 as a corking fee ( even though the wine store can open it for you). Ambiance is nonexistent, and with a 25 ft. open ceiling is incredibly noisy! I ordered the garlic eggplant off their "specialties" list and that's all out was, a huge plate of eggplant; they did offer a choice of rice, white or brown, bit not a choice of spice. I think this restaurant has missed the whole Thai concept...
(2)Savannah R.
A bit disappointing. The food was bland, not much to go on with....We ordered a couple of appetizers and entrées. The restaurant is set up like a cafeteria with a couple of separated enclosed booths.
(1)Ishi G.
A small quirky almost Thai eatery. The reason why I say almost is because they have Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese items on their menu. Their food is not consistent, but when its good - it's really good. Funny thing - I haven't actually liked their Thai food. The best thing they have on the menu is their version of a Korean specialty, Jap-chae. They call it Jap-chap - I have no idea why. Its sweet potato (glass noodles) with eggs, veggies and your choice of meat. It's miles apart from real Jap-chae but it's got unique flavor of it's own. The soft glass noodles paired with crisp vegetables and egg are infused with a smoky well spiced garlic and soy based sauce. Any meat including tofu goes great with the dish. Another item that scores high on "yumm" factor is their coconut rice. Steven got the red curry and the coconut rice was a fabulous complement to it. This is definitely not the best Thai place in town but its got some goodies if your taste buds like exploring. Just don't expect fine dining! :)
(3)Aileen E.
Nom Nom Nom! Thai Foon is one of my favorite stops in Robinson and they never disappoint. Flavors are really great - my favorite dish is the garlic chili with chicken. IT has just the right amount of kick and sweetness and the chicken is super tender. I've tried replicating the dish on my own, but I can't get it so I guess I'll have to keep coming back for more! Best pad thai I've had also and the spice basil is really good if you're looking for a punch of heat. Prices are reasonable, although they've increased since they first opened. I'd rather take out than eat in as the seating arrangements are really odd - you're about 6 inches from the table next to you unless you're in one of the two private booths. Overall, great eats and flavors. It'll make any trip up to the cinemark theater a goodie!

Just arrived in Moon Township and came across this place while leisurely touring the area. First of all, as a meteorologist, I've gotta say this is the best named restaurant EVER!! I had to stop! I ordered the Pad See You (more commonly spelled Ew), which is a wide noodle, with bean sprouts, broccoli, scallions with your choice of meat. I ordered it with beef. Also ordered some jasmine rice. Although my bill set me back $12 (a bit pricey, especially nearly $3 for white rice), the order was large and delicious with a kick of spice. The rice was perfectly sticky. Service was excellent as my waiter came over at least a half dozen times. Will definitely come back, but given it was a Saturday I think the pricing needs to be a bit more competitive compared to all the other restaurants in the Giant Eagle district (about $1-$2 too high for most items). For those of you with dates, they have two "date booths" which look like futuristic Jetson-esque rooms built into the corners of the dining area. GREAT idea. They also have a large selection of Boba Tea and several Chinese options as well.
(4)Aire B.
I dined here for the first time this past Saturday and I was very satisfied. I LOVED that it was BYOB, with only a $3 corkage fee! My bf and I split the lettuce wraps and pork dumplings. Both were amazing. I am a huge fan of these types of lettuce wraps, and Thai Foon's are now among my favorite. The pork dumplings also had a great flavor. My spicy basil noodles were outstanding. It was HUGE portion, that I was able to take home and have for 2 more meals. The place was very clean and waitstaff was very friendly. Overall a great thai place!
(4)Michelle C.
I got pad thai take-out here. I was put-off when I walked in, looked around and saw that there were only 3 full tables. 2 servers looked my way, no one came to greet me. I stood there for about 5 minutes until someone came by to see if I had been helped. When I said no, the server told me to "hang on" and went in the back to grab someone else. There were no apologies. Pad thai was not remarkable. It definitely could have used more seasoning/sauce. I'm not sure that I'll ever be back.
(3)Jim W.
I had a yummy lunch with my lunch crowd the other day. We went to a place called Thai Foon. It's a thai place. Clever huh? I had the "Shrimp Jap Chap". The last few times I've been there I ordered the Pad Thai, which was excellent, but I don't like sticking with the same thing too long. . . it's a character flaw. So I'd never heard of Shrimp Jap Chap, but that made it intriguing. The waitress asked me what I wanted and I told her, "Shrimp Slap Chop", but she didn't crack a smile and just wrote down "Shrimp Jap Chap." We waited at our table, which was a round, but somehow too small. Everyone seemed too far away, and if one of us pulled it close enough the rest were way too far. A little asian man came over with our food. He said, "Shi-sha-sho?" "What?" I said, confused. "Shi-sha-sho?" Just as quickly, just as unintelligibly. I turned it over and over in my mind for what seemed like an uncomfortably long time, but for what was, in all actuality maybe a second at most. "That's mine," I said. I wasn't positive that it was, but I figured that's just how you said it, if you were from Thailand. The rest of the table looked quizzically at me. I looked up. "Shrimp Jap Chap. . . shi-sha-sho." I gestured at the bowl of noodles with my fork. They chuckled. It was excellent. We finished and stood to pay at the counter. The woman there was NOT thai. She asked me which meal ticket was mine. I pointed and said, "Shi-sha-sho!" I'd been practicing. She had no idea what I was talking about. "Shrimp Jap Chap", I sighed, disappointed. Good lunch.
(4)Cameron B.
Service was outstanding and as usual the prices are still unbeatable. Spicy basil noodle is by far the best dish on their menu. The crab Rangoon is also a very nice way to start the meal off. For 2 people eating you can get an appetizer and 2 entrees all under 25 bucks. Can't beat that.
(5)Jack L.
This is quickly becoming a favorite restaurant of mine. The food is delicious, the prices are great, and it ends up being a crowd pleaser in my family especially when there is quite a bit of indecision on what to eat. I've been here a few times and here's what I've had so far: - Thai Toast - pretty good shrimp toast with a little more spicy kick than you would normally get at a Chinese restaurant. - Thai Dumplings - OK considering they're probably frozen. - Roast Duck Noodle Soup - rich broth that isn't as salty as I've had in other places - a great dish. - Pad Thai - I've ordered it with chicken and tofu. There's a slight upcharge for the chicken and tofu. But, it's worth it! Chicken is very tender and flavorful. The tofu is firm and holds up even in leftovers the next day. I order it spicy and ask for Thai Peppers on the side for some additional kick.
(4)pracheta t.
Bleh! Don't even bother coming here for the Thai food!!!! The green curry was basically just salt and the pad thai was dry, yet oily. I haven't tried anything else on the menu, nor will I ever because I wasn't pleased and I will not be back.
(1)Ryan B.
I'm a big fan of Thai Foon and can't get enough of the spicy basil noodle with a Thai iced tea. Service is pretty quick and atmosphere is better than can be expected for a strip mall location.
(4)Rugger W.
There are many, many flaws to my personality. Flaw #1: I am not at all forgiving and rarely give second chances (esp. w/ people that I once trusted). In restaurants, for whatever reason, I can and will revisit an establishment hoping for better food, service or both. Today I returned to Thai Foon and departed a happy man. On this lunch trip, we were the second table to be seated - just after noon on Labor Day. The Tom Ka soup was very good, but not outstanding. General's chicken was average. However, please try the Spicy Basil Noodle. Good flavors and pleasantly satisfying. Can you get better elsewhere? Yes. Is Thai Foon well above average and perfect for the shopping crowd near Settlers Ridge? Absolutely.
(4)Jason F.
I ate here for dinner this past Wednesday with 3 dining companions before we went to a movie next door. The decor of the restaurant was clean and modern and we were seated in what I would describe as a circular room big enough for 4. It was an odd place to sit and was probably inconvenient for the server but proved nice enough for us to have a conversation without many distractions. For my dinner entree I decided to have the Red Curry with Beef, extra spicy. Like most curries, it came out as two separate plates, one for the curry and one for the jasmine rice with which it was served. The presentation of it was nice with the red of the curry going well with the brown of the beef, green and red of the bell peppers and yellow of the pineapple. In its taste, it was unlike most of the Thai curries that I have had before. It had a sweetness to it and while being spicy was not exactly what I had been expecting. Regardless of that it still tasted good and I was more than happy to eat all of it. When discussing with another dining companion later in the night she also mentioned that her Pad Thai was not exactly what she was expecting either although still tasted good. We then decided that it was almost like a food court type of Thai food where you know the dishes that they are making but they are not exactly like you are expecting them, yet still tasty. The bottom line for me is that I enjoyed the food here and it was more than reasonably priced. I do not know if I would make it a point to come back but it proved to be a quick, affordable and tasty place to eat before a movie.

4 stars Spicy Basil Noodles and the Pad Thai were winners, the bubble tea with pomegranate and star mango was not.
(4)Jedd J.
First I thought it was a clever name, but later tasted the food... review continued on thaifoodaficionado.com/2…

Good service, Great Value! Had the Chicken Pad Thai and portion was big for 8.50 dinner. Will definitely go to again!
(5)Dominic C.
I've eaten here four or five times now and I have to say, Thai Foon is actually a pretty neat little place. I enjoy the atmosphere, the people, and the prices. The food is good, it's not fantastic, but it's certainly above the average Asian restaurant. I usually get their noodles, they're pretty good, and the rice isn't bad either. Sadly nothing makes them truly exceptional. All in all, Thai Foon is good but nothing worth going out of the way for.
(3)Terry D.
Good, at least to me. Thai Foon clicks with me. I like my Asian food simple and they don't get carried away trying to throw too much in each dish. My favorite, which I pretty much stick with, is the spicy basil noodles. I usually get a side of chili oil so I can adjust the heat. I like many ethnic foods. It doesn't have to be perfectly authentic, it just has to taste good to me. It is a fast turn around at lunch. It does a brisk business, but usually no wait. Dinner it is usually much quieter. It isn't a fancy place, the decor is spartan but modern. You could have a dinner party here, but it isn't really that kind of place. It is more of a lunch or dinner for 1 to 4 people type place. It would make a great quick dinner before walking a couple doors down to the theater, but don't forget you will probably order popcorn, so don't pig out. Give it a try. It is inexpensive, and I am sure you'll find something you like.
(4)Brian K.
This place is mediocre at best. I was hesitant to go in because they had no customers at a busy time of day, but my wife was in the mood for Thai and I didn't want to drive to the North Side. I also have two coworkers that go to this place at least once a month for dinner. By the time we left, my wife was saying she wished she would have wanted a burger or pizza. The wait staff look and act like they are a bunch of college kids hanging out. We had four different people come to our table. Since we were the only ones there, it was pretty easy to hear the original waitress say to her friend, "Can you check on my table?" It seems that she was too busy texting or playing a game on her phone. Now to the food. I ordered Green Curry Chicken, but Green Curry Onions arrived. The sauce was good and I used it to flavor my rice. The waitress came by to see if I wanted my onions boxed up, clearly missing that the bowl was full of onions. My wife ordered vegetable lo mein. Her noodles were way overcooked and the sauce had way too much salt to be edible. We left this dish almost completely untouched after the first couple of bites. The waitress mentioned that we must not be familiar with authentic Asian food. However, my wife is from Hong Kong (Asian by most standards) and I have spent a enough time in Asia to become a Permanent Resident. If you are in the mood for good Thai food, make the effort to drive to the North Side, Lawrenceville or Highland Park.
(2)R A.
First time here and it was very good. Large portions and great flavor. The service was tops as well, the young lady that waited on my wife and I could not have been nicer. There was problem with the computer so it took a min to get cashed out but things can happen anywhere. I will be back and will tell my friends about this place. BTW if your military they do give a discount, another +
(5)Rebecca H.
The food here is all delicious and fresh tasting. The flavors are authentic and the wait-staff is very friendly. My only complain is the decor, although clean and simple, is kind of, well, boring. There is not much to look at, but the amazing food will keep me coming back! The curries are A+!
(4)Carrie M.
My husband and I really enjoy this place. The curries are delicious and my 2 year old loves the coconut rice. Good food and at a reasonable price.

Great Dollar Menu at Thai Foon - A slice of lime and three strands of Cilantro - More important is the Owner's Attitude towards the Wait Staff. I used to be a huge fan of Thai Foon until this incident occurred a few weeks ago. I have ordered the Indonesian Fried Rice for years and it used to come with a lime and cilantro. Then a few months ago, it did not come with it, so I asked the waitress and she said that some people don't like it so they stopped adding it automatically. During the next four or five visits, I made sure to ask for the lime and cilantro and they obliged graciously. This time around, I noticed that they had added $2 for lime and cilantro for 2 orders of Indonesian Fried Rice. When I asked the waitress, she said that she was just following orders and that she needed her job. So I asked to speak to the Owner, who flat out told me that they have been charging for lime and cilantro for years. When I said that was not what I had experienced, he asked me to point to the waitress who had been giving me free lime and cilantro and said, "Show me the waitress and I will take it out of her paycheck.". While I did not care about the charges at this point, I was dismayed with his attitude towards the very people who make his business work. While I still love the Indonesian Fried Rice and don't mind the extra charge, I don't feel good about supporting such a businessman.
(2)Ricardo T.
Industrial decor trying to pull off Thai just looks awkward. The food was ok. I was going to spend more time on this review, but honestly it was so "blah" of an experience that the first sentence capped the entire time had.
(2)Marc A.
I didn't order any Thai food at Thai Foon. I ordered the udon noodle thingamabob. I can't remember the name. Normally I give Asian fusion restaurants a hard time as I find the cooking not to be particularly creative, but Thai Foon did a great job. Also, what a clever name. Thai Foon. Typhoon. Get it? I did. It didn't take long for me to get my meal. The ingredients tasted/seemed fresh, and the meal was extremely delicious. I wanted to order a second one immediately after scarfing it down like the animal I am. The udon noodles blew me away. Like a typhoon. The staff were friendly. The decor/atmosphere could use some improvement, but in general, Thai Foon is awesome for what it is.
(4)Jennifer D.
Great soup especially if you have a cold. Good chicken, vegetable and rice dishes!
(4)D D.
I love Thai Foon. I grab lunch here 1-2 times a month. I always get the spicy basil noodle. It's quite delicious. For the most part the service is great. On occasion it can be a bit slow depending on who the server of the day is. But I can almost always get in and out, and back to work in a lunch hour. Even on a Friday. I've never ate there with someone who didn't enjoy what they ordered. Food seems fresh and I keep going back for more. I tried a few Thai places in San Francisco, and this place of course is Americanized. You're in Pittsburgh, what do you expect? It is worth a visit!
(4)Deron T.
Always good food and hardly ever a wait. Service is "deliberate"... Nice place for a date or quick night out.
(4)Amber T.
This was the worst Thai food. It was very Salty.

My husband and I love Thai food and eat it whenever we get the chance, so we were excited to try this little locally owned joint out in Robinson by the Market District. The excitement soon faded. PROS Quickly greeted and seated by the host. Cost The sauce that comes with the Thai Spring Rolls Tofu is available for some entrees (although the menu doesn't say it) CONS -Parking lot is swamped @ 6PM on a Saturday night (not Thai foon's fault but still irritating and good to know ahead of time you may have to stalk for a parking space) -Waitress never brought us water. -Ordered "hot tea." The first was a cup with a Lipton Black tea bag. The refill was a full pot of green tea. -The Thai Spring Rolls were flavorless. -The "extra-spicy" Pad Thai and Thai Curry Noodles were mild at best. -The abundant red and green peppers in the pad thai (this is of course to the personal likes or dislikes of the consumer but as purists, non-traditional vegetables are irritating) -We waited so long for the server to check in on us and refill the soda that my husband went to the drink fountain and served himself while two employees walked by him. Both looked at him but neither said anything to him. -The thai ice tea, while not ordered, comes pre-mixed with no clear line between the condensed milk and the thai tea. It was also an odd orange color unlike I've seen before. It just looked bad. -The only time we got quick service was when payment was due. We were not asked if we wanted desert. In conclusion, if you like Americanized-Asian food, this will do, but it isn't anything special worth going out of your way to try.
(2)Brian M.
Thai Foon was only so-so. This restaurant definitely brings the phrase, "you get what you pay for" to mind. The reviews that were posted before had it right. The service wasn't that great. The food was just okay, but I wouldn't call it Thai food at all. They didn't even have peanut sauce. The Pad Thai was lacking flavor and didn't have any spice. The Crab Rangoon was only okay (my husband loved it, though, so that could be me). When the server brought my phone back after scanning the groupon, there was ink on it. I still can't get the ink off. I want to call, but this might make me a douche bag. I'm not sure... If you are in the area, skip Thai Foon and head to P. F. Chang's instead.
(2)Jeff S.
I enjoy the dishes made spicy with fresh peppers.
(4)Sal W.
Came here for lunch today and had #29 Spicy Garlic Chili Sauce ($7). The food was very Americanized, but it was quite tasty. I liked all the vegetables provided, except the pea-pods, which is a rarity for me. I ordered it very spicy, but the spice level received was about 5/10. The portion size should have been a tad larger. The waitress messed up my GF's order: chicken instead of tofu. She took it back and came back nearly 5 minutes later, which pretty much guaranteed to me that they just plucked out the chicken and stuck in the tofu. Some people are probably okay with that. We didn't get one water refill the whole meal. Food Quality/Taste = 4 Stars Portion Size Given Price = 2 Stars Price = 3 Stars Service = 2 Stars Experience with Staff = 3 Stars Decor = 3 Stars Clean (yes/no) = yes
(3)Ashlie L.
I understand the prices are low and there is a "pay for what you get" mentality. It is in a conventent location, and cheap...However, next time I am going somewhere that actually serves good food and offers a friendly service. I had to ask for chopsticks after my food came. You will absolutely not find authentic cuisine here or anything close to it. I will not be returning and recommend you go somewhere else, too.
(2)Patti T.
I consider myself a true novice when it comes to Thai food. Read: NO EXPERT. So please take this review with that caveat in mind. Looking to eat anywhere without reservations at the Settler's Ridge complex on a Friday night can be very frustrating, from the parking issues to the just plain crazy wait times at certain places. Thai Foon had a table available, and the 3 of us are all fans of (what we consider!) Thai food. Notes: Seated immediately at 7PM. BYOB; there is a retail shop for an area winery next door, if needed. I noticed that the restaurant had very nice wine glasses for those who brought a bottle. Why are many Thai restaurant interiors painted in shades of pumpkin? Menu was not exclusively Thai by any means. Service was spotty; I noticed that other tables served by a different waitress got lemon wedges on their water glasses--we did not. Waitresses seem to do all of the busing, and our waitress seemed to not know this. Our waitress was very obviously new to the restaurant and new to waitressing, so I'm giving her a break. (But she was pretty bad) Kitchen was slow for our order, people seated after us were eating long before we did; also it was obvious that my H's curry noodle dish was ready well before my & daughter's pad thai. Both pad thai's were steaming hot, husband's was very much not. Our order: daughter loves Bangkok Balcony's Thai Iced Tea. She did not like this version. ~Cold edamame-unscrew-upable ~Summer rolls-very fresh tasty, mint leaves inside were nice. Have to admit to never having had one before, but I thought the texture of the wrapper was gluier that I would have expected. Wanted a spoon for the peanut dipping sauce--super good, peanutty and spicy ~1 shrimp, 1 chicken Pad Thai-very nice. Noodles perfect texture, plenty of fresh cilantro (no stems!). Daughter loved the shrimp, I wish I'd gone meatless. Chicken pieces too large and kinda slimy. High quality take home containers. ~H had curry vermicelli noodle dish with chicken (you can chose protein-chicken, shrimp, beef-for many of their entrees and soups). He enjoyed it all. I would try the place again, and hope for a more experienced waitress/waiter. The food was plenty fine and very reasonable. Our bill was in the $30 range!! Can't remember the last time we paid cash at a restaurant :))

The food is okay. But the price is good. With the price, the food is not bad.

Decent chicken Pad Thai and a friendly wait staff. Good place for inexpensive Thai food.
(4)Stephanie J.
Service was good and prompt. Ordered Premium Jasmine Rice with Beef and was really disappointed. Sub par cooking.
(2)Paul M.
Good standard asian - kind of like your neighborhood chinese restaurant - but with broader selection of styles. Spring Roll Appetizer - standard, a little greasy - I believe they were made in house, but could have been frozen. Had Pho for the main dish, good, fresh tastes - good size portion. Service was OK, decor nothing remarkable.
(3)Lester S.
My first visit was yesterday. Started with Tom Yum soup, which was excellent. Very spicy, but a little sweetness would have made it better. The Shrimp Pad Thai was very good. One reviewed said it tasted vinegary. It did not. Pad Thai sauce is made with tamarind, which is sour. The other dish was Massaman curry. Massaman is called the king of curries for a good reason. It is delicious. This restaurant's version is very good, full of tender beef and potatoes. I will be back often.
(4)Erin S.
Do not eat here. No matter how long the wait is at other places, do not break down and eat here! Party of 8 took an hour to get food, and 2 entrees were left out. After waiting 40 more min for the missing entrees, waitress offered to bring one as carry out... And then brought the wrong one. Yeah, we missed our movie, but I'll be burping up bad pad thai for at least a few more hours.
(1)Angie C.
I love Thai food. Havent had it since college and I have missed it terribly. I will definitely be coming back here. I came here for lunch and the place wasn't busy at all. The waitress was super friendly and refilled our drinks multiple times. And the food was wonderful. I ordered the Yellow Curry with chicken, and after the first bite, I was in love with it. Yum.
(5)Harsh C.
I always enjoy dining at Thai Foon. It is one of the best Thai Restaurant i have been in Pittsburgh. I recommend Garlic Chilli.
(4)Amin A.
Not impressed- I love thai food and am not a snob when it come the foods I love- because I love them! Anyway I came here with my lady. We got the pad kha soup which was honestly the best part of our meals- but at the time we did not know. I ordered the Crispy tofu which was pretty much dry, without flavor except for the salt. Not impressed. Then came the entree- Pad Thai, a staple at every thai restaurant in America. There was not much taste- the basic ingredients were there but it had no spice and was missing the exotic flavor associated with Thai cuisine- it just tasted like noodles eggs and meat- which was definitely disappointing. The location was clean but when you look at it in detail seemed a little tacky with wallpaper peeling off the walls. Service was par at best- very nice but not as attentive. Prices and portions are pretty good. I will not bring anybody back because this place is a let down. Maybe there are some redeeming entrees but I will not risk bringing anybody else with me to test it out.
(2)Patrick P.
If you do a spice level of 10 - Get your milk ready. I love Thai food. I have been to this restaurant several times for lunch. I recommend the Basil Chicken and Pad Thai - Both are pretty good. What takes this place over the average Asian Cuisine (like previous review - a fusion of Thai) is the spice level. Thai Foon provides fresh spices and have a rating system (1-10). I like a an extremely spicy dish. 7-10 are extremely spicy. If you are feeling daring - try it :-)

One of our favorite places to go to lunch during work in the Robinson area. They have a pretty big menu selection of noodles, rice dishes, appetizers, etc. Some of them are more thai inspired items, but you definitely see your Chinese takeout variation of dishes as well. I have had their curry and found it to be less than stellar with carrots, peppers, and russet potatoes. I prefer sweet potatoes of sorts. I must admit their noodle dishes are pretty good though. I always go with pad Thai when I go to new Thai restaurants and thought it was pretty good. They give you a healthy portion of food for the price - so I think it's a good value for under $10. They have good service and are quick with getting people in and out. A lot of people come here for their lunch breaks because of it's central location in the Settlers Ridge plaza, so if you want to beat the lunch crowd try to get in before 12 or expect to wait a good 10-15 for a table.

We checked this place out for a weekday lunch. The menu was pretty big and they offered a lot of lunch specials. I ordered green curry tofu and the husband got spicy basil tofu. Neither were spicy (our server didn't inquire about our spice preference), and we asked for some hot sauce. She brought us sriracha and chili paste, but it didn't hold a candle to Nicky's! I like my Thai SPICY. My favorite part of my meal was the coconut rice--it was delicious and totally worth the upcharge. Service was a little slow, but they were pretty packed. Also, try to avoid sitting by the door--we were COLD! People kept holding it open, and the restaurant wasn't heated well to begin with. I don't think I would make a special trip back to eat here, but it's okay Thai if you're in the area. I did notice it was very family friendly; there were lots of babies and children running about and playing with toys, so if that's something you consider while choosing a dining options this would be a great choice for you!

Sstarted with chicken lettuce wraps. The chicken had crunchy casaba in the mix that made it so yummy. Ordered the green & yellow curry plates. Wow! The green was delicious. The yellow was just what I was in the mood for. A little different in that it included yams/sweet potato instead of carrots. Service was quick and attentive. Definitely will return.

Not a traditional Thai place, but I liked their menu offerings and the atmosphere. We arrived on a Saturday night around 8pm and the place had maybe only two other tables. I didn't mind because I didn't want to have a long wait and Robinson is notoriously busy during that time. The service was a bit stunted, as our server wasn't all that friendly, but it was also helpful because he wasn't interrupting our conversation every five minutes asking if we needed something. We started off with some Thai iced tea that was served in two huge glasses. We both enjoyed them thoroughly. We had summer rolls that didn't have nearly as much mint or vermicelli noodles as I would have liked, but the cucumber addition was a nice surprise. I had Tom Kha soup that was mega spicy and a nice balance between coconut-y and sour. For our entrees my partner had the Thai stir fry and I chose the massaman curry. The curry was mega good--rich sauce and juicy pieces of meat just how a curry should be. The veggies weren't too soggy or too crisp, and though they didn't ask us to specify a spice level, it had a nice kick to it. The stir fry was alright and tasted more like just about any stir fry you'd order at a Chinese restaurant, but we both agreed the curry was the better dish. All said, if I'm ever out this way and in the mood for some Thai food I'd consider coming back for sure.

Not the BEST Panang Curry I've ever had but delicious nonetheless. Great atmosphere and a cool spot for lunch while I'm visiting family in the area!

Thai in the name, but it's more of a mix of Thai and Chinese with a dash of Americanization. Meaning it's a smorgasbord of things. I liked that I could get vegetable pad thai, as I was craving a little more veggies in my meal, but still wanted a noodle dish. The portion is MASSIVE. You could split a meal between two people and still be full. The Pad Thai was just okay though. The sauce wasn't the best. A little more flavor would have been better. Plus, it was a little runny and I wished there would have been a tad more veggies. The bubble tea was a nice perk though. I just went with the traditional black tea and tapioca. I'd definitely pop in to grab one of these, but coming back for dinner, probably not.
(3)Kara A.
The food is VERY bland and tasteless. After my food came out, the waitress asked if I wanted a side of sauce. I got the spicy sauce and thankfully that did add some flavor to it. One good thing I will say, is that it is very reasonably priced. It wasn't the worst food I've ever had, but I don't think I'll be returning.
(3)Haiguang D.
This is a cozy 3.5-star place with laid-back atmosphere. The Jap Chap (Korean yum noodles) is very delicious and is presumably healthy (at least they wrote on the menu that it is weight-loss). The Stir-Fry Udon is soft but it bounces in your mouth. The Fried Banana has a very funny (positive here) taste with the chocolate dipping sauce. Make sure you ask for Jeff because he is a really nice guy!
(3)Megan L.
The bubble tea is what brings me here often, and I always forget to check in on here when I just order the teas! I get the Green Tea Taro Milk bubble tea. Food prices are a little high so I haven't tried that many dishes. The Honey Coated Walnut (a sweet dish) is probably my favorite. General Tso Chicken is also very good and the spicy basil was not something I would order again. The coconut and fried rice are very good with your dish but an upcharge. I would say it's worth checking out, especially for the bubble tea ;)

We really like this place and it doesn't disappoint. We've been several times, lunch and dinner and really enjoy this place. It's a BYOB and we've brought wine without a problem.
(4)Kayla P.
Took the staff awhile to ask us what we wanted to drink. Took them longer to get us our drinks, and then take our order. The food took awhile. At first glance I knew I wasn't going to like it... The curry is very thick, the tofu is cut into many crazy shapes (i didn't believe it was tofu), and they went over board with the fish sauce. I didn't like it. My sister got the sweet and sour chicken and sent it back... won't be going here again.
(2)Josh M.
Disappointing. One of the worst) or strangest) interpretations of Drunken Noodles that I've ever tried. Tasted like they used a bottle of store bought sweet and sour sauce. They also used the thin pad Thai noodles instead of the thicker rice noodles that are typically used in this dish. Thee at quality was good, however. On the up side, it is a BYOB restaurant with a wine store next door. The service and decor were also above average.
(3)Seeta S.
The soups are really flavorful. The Indonesian fried rice with shrimp and chicken was well suited to my spice palette, although a bit greasy. Service was excellent.
(4)Kurt A.
Not bad at all. Definitely passed the Pad Thai test. Deep flavors and lime provided. Much better than most Thai places in and around Pgh. also, they are authentic with spiciness. Order a level 7 and your lips will burn! Price isn't bad either, but the location is a pain. Granted, it is X-Mas, but parking was a pain.
(4)Jarrod L.
Have been a regular here since the place opened and finally stopped going. The food quality has gone down while the prices have gone up and up. Today I sat alone for 20 minutes with a menu and no one once asked me what I wanted and no waiters could be found anywhere. So I got up and left leaving my silverware and menu at the hostess counter. I will not be back.

I love Thai Foon! This place is a weekly lunch trip for me and my colleagues. The lunch specials are inexpensive and I feel like the service sizes are bigger than that at other comparable thai restaurants. While the Pho didn't knock my socks off, the curries are some of the most enjoyable I've had. The restaurant can be little noisy when they are busy, and is more of a casual atmosphere. No candle-lit dinners going on here. You'll have to goto Bangkok Balcony for that. Still, a solid place to go for some quick & affordable thai. 4 stars here.
(4)Ashley C.
The Thai noodle curry soup was far too skimpy on the vegetables (and who thought grape tomatoes in a hot soup was a good idea?), but the flavor of the soup itself was amazing!
(4)Steve H.
Awesome. Better than expected. Wait staff helped us make great selections being our first time. Went for lunch. Yellow curry w/ coconut rice was great. Wife had spicy basil chicken (she doesn't do spicy) and said it was great. Thai steamed dumplings were awesome. Would have given 5 stars but time between app and entree was long. I think they gave our food to a different table as I saw other table get food that looked like ours and then they sent it back. We'll definately be back.....maybe tonight. I want to go to an event catered by these guys so I can eat like 50 of those dumplings!

I most recently ate the Thai Foon special stir fry with chicken-zucchini,scallion,jalepeno,red onion, and shiitake mushrooms in chef's special stir fry sauce-and I assure you it was anything but special. Very flavorless.The portion size was large. Also shared the thai spring rolls and I have had much better at Thai Place. Service was friendly and quick.
(2)A. Lynn B.
Service was slow and painful. (Slow meaning longer than 40 minutes in an empty restaurant to bring food). The food was mediocre. There were 6 of us visiting. My food (Pho) was piping hot, and everyone else's food was extremely cold. After tasting the other dishes, I concur. There was one thing missing! Flavor. It was like there was a general lack of pride for this location. Sorry. I really wanted to like this place!
(2)Eric Z.
Enjoyed a quick lunch here with my daughter on a cold, rainy Friday afternoon. Got the Thai dumplings and a bowl of Pho. Came to $17.60. Dumplings were steamed and very good. Six per order. The Pho with chicken was good, though I needed a little soy sauce in the broth. Even with my very little experience with Pho, I thought that a big component to Pho was adding different side items to change the taste, but no side items such as hot sauce, soy sauce or chili's were on the table. It was still good none the less.
(3)Tiffany Y.
Best Pad Thai I have ever had. Would come here for lunch at least once a week with coworkers. Have since moved out of state and try to pick up to-go whenever I'm in town! Love it! Don't forget to ask for it extra spicy with no beansprouts!
(5)Pat V.
Delicious lunch! Hot is hot so beware. Basil dish w jalapeños spicy, but flavors blend so well, you leave w happy mouth! All employees bustin' ass, even mgr bussing tables. We'll be back!

Okay, very rarely give someone this bad of a review but when I do it is usually for bad service on top of mediocre to bad food. Their food is okay at best, not very authentic and not that tasty. The reason for the bad review is the poor service. I drove about 15 minutes to pick up takeout from this place. Got my take-out and drove 15 minutes back. Opened the food and realized that they screwed up the order big time. So I called and let them know and after being very confused about what to do got the manager on the phone who helped us out correctly. But not after trying to get me to drive back there again to pick up the correct order. But they said stop back and they will give us a gift card to compensate. However, when we returned the next day for the gift card they knew nothing of the sort. The owner was there and argued tooth and nail with us over the gift card, even called the manager who promised it at home to confirm. Then tried to give us a $10 gift card for a $30 dollar meal that they screwed up. Instead they end up giving us half of the cash in return. I can't see why any business wouldn't want to keep a customer happy. I had gotten takeout from there several times because it was the closest Thai place to my house. I would rather travel to Thailand for takeout now rather than give this business my money. They lost me for good...
(2)Alexander G.
Me and my friend love Thai food but this place is more like Chinese food. This is more like a fast food place. Service is so so. The only dish is good is their pho. Very average place.
(2)Mackenzie M.
When this place first opened, I really enjoyed it. Visiting for the first time in a few years, I ordered my preferred curry: green, Thai hot. What came out was flavorful, good heat, etc, but it wasn't what I'd recognize as green curry. The sauce was brown and extremely sweet. I thought they honey-glazed my tofu! Overall it was tasty, it just wasn't what I expected when I ordered green curry.
(3)Meghan M.
Thai Curry Noodles are outstanding! Summer Rolls taste great! Bubble Tea is refreshing! Staff is friendly! I will be returning!

Called and asked where I could find a menu online to place a take out order. Was told UrbanSpoon and facebook. Only urbanspoon had a menu and I asked saying it was from 2011 and was told that was right. When I later called to place the order, the price was $14 more than what the menu on urbanspoon had. I hung up and redid the math and called again. I was told if I was unhappy with their prices I could go elsewhere, no apology for an employee telling me to find an inaccurate menu online. I was pretty surprised by the rude customer service.
(1)Scott C.
Our group all had different entree and loved the food. The waitress was also very awsome!
(5)Derek T.
This is a regular lunch spot when I'm in Pittsburgh. The food is very good and the service is above average. This is clearly targeting to the lunch crowd which is great for me, but I can see for dinner the setting may be too casual for some. Overall a great restaurant. Red Curry YES!
(4)Amy R.
I love Thai food. It is probably my most favorite genre of cuisine. This was just 'meh.' I had a taste of the crab rangoon, pad see yew, and tom kha soup. The crab rangoon was okay - probably the best of the three, but by no means something I'd come back for. The only worse crab rangoon I've had was from Sushi Boat, 2 days ago. ((It's been a bad weekend for me, if judging only by the quality of my crab rangoon.)) The wonton wrapper was crispy, so that's a plus...? I only had one bit of the pad see yew - it was my husbands - but both he and I didn't really enjoy it. There was just no flavor. I can't really elaborate on more, though, since I had only one bite. The tom kha. It's by far my favorite soup. I get it every chance I get. But this had several drawbacks. 1) tomatoes? Since when are there tomatoes in tom kha? 2) tofu. Okay, but I wish it had been chicken. I wasn't even asked. 3) there were little slivers of lemongrass that were un-chewable and kept getting stuck in my teeth. Yuck. The taste wasn't quite right - it was basically there, but I think it was missing creaminess - it seemed more a tomato/chicken broth base than a coconut milk/chicken broth base. An okay atmosphere, but I'm used to the quaint coziness of most thai places (e.g. bangkok balcony, thai cuisine, smiling banana)...this wasn't quite the same. I'm glad I tried it, but likely won't be returning.
(2)Momo C.
Love love their green curry. It would be nicer if the server serve the customer instead of texting on their phone and ignore us.
(4)Jill H.
My husband and I ate here the other night and it was pretty good. Aside from fish I don't eat animals, and I love how you can choose your meat, shrimp or tofu option for many of their dishes. We split an order of the yellow curry (tofu) and General Tso's Tofu. The yellow curry is a sweet coconut curry (I've had the red curry before and it is equally as sweet) and it's pretty good. My husband polished off the General Tso's and practically licked the bowl clean. Our waitress was prompt and attentive. Our food arrived quickly, but that was not surprising as we were the only diners. The dining room has slick, modern décor. There is a window which enables you to see and hear the cooks who were speaking Spanish. Latino cooks in a Thai restaurant? Talk about diversity! Ok, so it's definitely not the most authentic Thai food you will find in Pittsburgh, but it works in a pinch on a weeknight when you live on the other side of town from Nicky's Thai Kitchen. It's BYOB, so you can pop over to the Winery at Wilcox next door and grab a bottle of wine to take with you.

Thai Foon is awesome! I've had the spicy basil noodle and the pad Thai. I love spicy foods and these two are very flavorful and definitely spicy (especially the spicy basil noodles). The portions are big. The spring rolls and summer rolls are good as well. The summer rolls come with a spicy peanut sauce that is wonderful. I have had 2 different flavors of their bubble teas and they are really refreshing and fun. The atmosphere is casual, kind of noisy, and and could accommodate a family, a couple, or a bunch of friends.
(4)Sothy P.
we tried the chicken pad thai and spicy basil noodles..not very good..doesn't taste as good as the chicken pad thai from Papaya and spicy basil noodles from Little Bangkok...the dishes at Thai Foon tasted 'americanized'..
