Worth at least 4 stars based on my one experience picking up takeout. The food was ready when we arrived on time. Was surprised there was not more rice with the curries but the curries were great themselves. Tried the yellow and the pumpkin. Each had its own flavor and different sweetness level to suit the dish. The yellow with potato was rather sweet. Heat levels of the dishes were on target as requested - low, medium or high. Fresh rolls with peanut sauce were good. Thai fried rice and pad see ewe also good, the latter not as salty as other places I’ve tried. Only thing missing from menu we thought was pineapple fried rice.

Despite being not very busy on a Tuesday night, the kitchen seemed to be having issues. First, they gave us the wrong appetizer (shrimp spring rolls instead of fresh rolls). The fried chicken in my wife’s chicken noodle was overcooked, and the noodles were oily. While the broth for my tom yum noodles was good, the noodles were overcooked. And by that point, I didn’t even bother to point out that they put tofu in the tom yum noodles instead of what I asked for (vegetables).Maybe the owners figured that since this is a slow week for dining (it’s move-in week at multiple schools), they’d give the “A” kitchen team a few days off and let the “B” team hone their skills. Or maybe they just had an off night. (Even Michelin-starred restaurants have bad nights.) But the reality is that with this being our first visit, and with 3 other Thai restaurants in Squirrel Hill alone, it’s probably going to be a while until we give them a second chance.

Pretty tasty but there's lots of better Thai places, even in Squirrel Hill.

Not the worst Thai food in Squirrel Hill, but not the best either. The food is never bad, but if you like it to be spicy you're out of luck. Today I got takeout and asked for a 9/10 spiciness level; what I got was maybe a 5.

Love the fried rice. Other dishes are also good. Definitely the best Thai food in squirrel hill. The only concern is sometimes the food comes a little bit longer than expected.

I have always been satisfied with the food at this restaurant. The curry and pad thai are great and the presentation of the food is nice. Only criticism is the meal prices are over $10. I can go somewhere else and get the same dishes for less than $10. But if you are looking for good tasty food this is it!

As a vegetarian, the options aren't a lot. But the options are still the best of Thai cuisine. Also, as a vegetarian you need to mention to them to not use fish sauce. The taste is difficult to adapt to, but the taste is great for the non-vegetarians. Also, the tea is amazing here. Do try that. The portion size for the food is a little bit on the smaller side. But nevertheless the restaurant is beautiful to be at.

One of my favorite Thai spots. Food is excellent, great variety in the menu, and no fuss. Only critiques are the slightly dodgy seating, especially the bench seats, and the food sometimes takes a little while longer than you'd like, but those are minor. Seriously underrated place that deserves more business.

Went around 6pm on a Sunday. The service was good and the food was exceptional. I got to try the yellow curry with no spice and panang curry with normal spice levels. Both were great but I think the normal spice really brought the panang to a higher level than the yellow. I would definitely go back if I was ever in the mood for more curry.

This is an awful experience. There seems to be only one server and as seen from the photo, most table have food on without being cleaned. We waited for so long to order and to pay. The server seems so busy that we are just forgotten. Food is just so so

The few times I've gone, it's been pretty good. I've mainly been ordering "safe" dishes and they've been delicious (although I could honestly do with some bigger portions) but from the sound of things on here, I should go and experiment a bit. The venue itself is very nice, and I've never had a problem service-wise. Definitely worth checking out

My favorite thing there is the Thai sausage salad. Little pricey for a salad but worth it. The curry doesn't have as much flavor as curries I do like have but I'm not sure what it's missing because I don't cook enough. Beautiful atmosphere in the summer when they open the windows.

Curry in Murray is closed I guess. But the big board is still there. We didn’t realize first. They gave us menu, containing 8-10 types of food only. It seemed little fishy but we ordered food anyways. The food was so bad and tasteless. We couldn’t eat even, later on inquiry, we got to know curry in Murray was closed, but they didn’t take off the big board. Yokumisu or something was it’s name, only written on the menu, which we didn’t notice first. Waste of money and time. And what a terrible food!!!!!! 1 star would be even more for whatever they served

The food was great but the service was not up to par. Of course we went on a Saturday night and place seemed pretty busy. We came to the restaurant and there was no one available to greet us for 3 minutes. I was not sure if we were to seat ourselves or to wait for someone because there were no indications of what to do. An attendant seated other guests that were waiting before he even acknowledged us. Of course when we were finally seated our table was wobbling, Awesome! The waiter did fix it after he gave us our drinks.I didn’t care too much for the atmosphere. The place was kind of small and the tables were close together. The patron at the table next to us kept staring at me and was probably listening intently to our conversation. Plus, on a windy cool evening having the large windows open are not optimum conditions.Overall the only positive experience was the food and the person I with.

Best Thai in town! Flavors are great, perfect amount of spicy heat, and love being able to add duck to pretty much any dish. Reasonable prices for Thai. The broccoli in my and my wife's dishes wasn't fully heated, but that's the only knock on the score. Wife will definitely be back on her lunch breaks.

Good food, but very inexperienced servers did not know ingredients of dishes, were unhelpful with gluten free and vegetarian options. Kitchen seemed to know what they were doing in those regards and were able to instruct the servers, but training should be provided ahead of time.
