One of my fav places to eat in the burgh is Thai Place. It is located on Walnut Street in the Shadyside section of Pittsburgh.
Shadyside is a cozy neighborhood and Walnut contains a ecletic mix of chain stores like White House Black Market, Gap, Victoria’s Secret and smaller privately owned boutiques and restaurants.
Spicy Tofu
Thai Place is truly delightful from the interesting people who come in the door to the smiling elderly gentleman who often greets you when you enter the place. I love going to Thai Place during lunch time. They have wonderful lunch specials that are quite affordable and vegetarian friendly.
A tall uber skinny Asian with a slight strut to his walk and whose name I have yet to figure out, usually serves as my waiter when I’m there. He speaks English when he wants too, but I have noticed that his English gets a whole heck of a lot better when I complement on something he is wearing.
I usually order green tea and the lunch time special that either includes General Tso’s Tofu or Spicy Tofu. Both meals are priced at $8.25 and also include rice, a vegetable spring roll, and soup.
Thai Place is not to be missed if you are in Pittsburgh are searching for Thai cuisine. Please don’t forget to have the mango and sticky rice for dessert! IT IS ADDICTIVE!
