Crema's Take

This beloved Thai restaurant in Pittsburgh's Strip District earns its stellar reputation through genuinely caring service—regulars rave about staff members like Penny and Jo who go above and beyond, whether accommodating gluten-free diets or simply making you feel like family. The kitchen delivers authentic, flavorful dishes with generous portions, from their perfectly executed Pad Thai and curries to traditional Thai drinks and matcha tea, all in an intimate space that feels like a well-kept secret despite its modest street presence. It's the kind of place where the warmth of hospitality elevates an already excellent meal, making it perfect for everything from casual meetings to family gatherings.

I love this place so much, best Thai in Pittsburgh in my humble opinion. The service is fantastic, Penny is the absolute sweetest we love her. She brings the experience to another level and she treats every customer like family. We always make sure to get an extra order of summer rolls to take home. The green curry and the pad see ew are both phenomenal. Don’t miss out if you’re in the Strip!!!

Such a great experience at Little Bangkok! Amazing service — shoutout Jo, who was so kind and attentive to details. The kitchen was very accommodating with safety precautions with my gluten free / celiac restrictions. And the pumpkin curry was so good! Love the lunch special where you can do a combination of proteins!

Highly recommend! 10/10 service & food quality. Jo was an awesome waitress, so friendly and accommodating to my food allergy. The curry and pad Thai were so good. The portions are HUGE. Also, get the spring rolls! You won’t regret it :)

Absolutely loved our experience at Little Thai! The food was flavorful, fresh, and perfectly cooked — every dish we tried tasted authentic and made with care. The Pad Thai and yellow Curry were especially delicious, with the right balance of spice and sweetness. The portions were generous, and everything came out hot and beautifully presented. The staff were friendly, attentive, and patient in explaining the menu and adjusting the spice level to our liking. The restaurant itself feels cozy and welcoming, a great spot for both casual lunches and dinner dates. Overall, Little Thai is definitely one of the best Thai spots in Pittsburgh — amazing food, great service, and fair prices. We’ll definitely be coming back! ❤️

Its a small and not much visible or bright from outside street but we went there after reading good reviews when we visited Pittsburgh. A great welcome by hostes to the restaurant. Explained few items what we had questions for and she was great with the conversation. Exceeded the expectations on customer experience. We ordered fried calamari, thick noodles and spicy chicken. They all came out in a very good reasonable time and taste was good( 8 out 10). We ordered sticky rice with mango and that was not what we expected and mango tasted bad. Maybe give 3 out of 10. Overall experience is good and 4 out 5 stars.
