    Very nice ambiance, loved the vibe immediately upon walking in!…read more We got the crab fried rice and the korean-style red snapper. The portion size was bigger than we thought it would be for both dishes! Unfortunately, we did find both dishes to be too salty though :( They were really generous with the crab in the fried rice & I really liked the addition of corn, chili, and cilantro! The red snapper was cooked pretty well, it wasn't dry at all. However, the pork belly that came with it was mostly fat :/ If I came back, I'd definitely ask for less salt in my dishes. We were able to walk in on a Thursday dinner & get seated right away without a reservation :) Server was nice! Btw the name is a little deceiving, they have Japanese food, but it's definitely an asian fusion restaurant. They have a lot of thai options!

    Another great night at Soba. It somehow manages to stay effortlessly cool while the rest of us are…read morejust trying to make it through a Wednesday. The funky vibe never disappoints, and the servers were friendly and attentive without hovering. My husband and I kicked things off with the Spicy Pork Lettuce Wraps, which disappeared way too quickly. I ordered the Tuna Crispy Rice with spicy tuna, crispy fried sushi rice, jalapeño, and avocado. It was the perfect balance of crunch, spice, and freshness. My husband went with the Chirashi Bowl, packed with tuna, salmon, hamachi, roe, seaweed salad, avocado, shiso, chives, and sushi rice. We wrapped things up with the Chocolate Maki, because apparently "we'll just skip dessert" is something people say but never actually do. The dark chocolate mousse, chocolate pistachio crêpe, and pistachio cream were rich, decadent, and worth every bite. Soba continues to prove that even a random Wednesday can feel like a night out. Guess we'll have to keep coming back for quality control.

    This is our first stop when we came to visit Pittsburgh because we've heard such great things about…read moreit. We didn't have a reservation but showed up at 8 PM and we're able to sit at the bar. They were also inside seats available so I guess our timing was right there were lots of really great cocktails to choose from and it was hard to decide. She got the first catch and I got the new person same old mistakes, both so great! we shared a bunch of appetizers that were all so incredibly delicious. We ordered the roti with tofu instead of chicken though when it came out it was not vegetarian. Luckily, I spotted it and they remade the dish for me. We also got the green mango salad and mushroom laab- all so yummy! The bartender was really great at giving us lots of information and helping us decide what to get and the ambience and vibe is so stunningly beautiful but the food definitely matches that. I will be telling everyone to visit when they're in Pittsburgh and I can't wait to visit again myself.

    This is my second time coming here. The first time I got a reservation but I tried out the get…read morethere early and wait in line method and was so happy they were able to seat us! We got there at 4:40 on a Saturday and they open at 5. I'd say that's a good sweet spot although there was already a decent line when we got there so I'm sure it just depends! Such a simple dish but I could eat a VAT of that Roti app once a week for the rest of my life and be better for it LOL. It's seriously so good I crave it constantly. I tried out the lemongrass meatballs this time. They were SO GOOD. Normally I need a thick sauce with a meatball idk it's just who I am. These needed absolutely nothing. They were the perfect texture and I loved the crispy shallots. I've actually never had Khao Soi and man I have been missing out! The meat was seriously so tender I could not get over it. The flavors were perfectly married it was a great dish. The crispy shrimp was also amazing the pieces were massive and the SAUCE (lol) was so good. Pusadee's knows what they're doing. There is a reason why they're always so busy and I'm happy we have a place like this in the burgh!

    I was super excited to try this Thai restaurant for the first time, and overall, the food did not…read moredisappoint! The flavors were incredible. Everything was so tasty, fresh, and cooked to perfection. Definitely the highlight of our experience! The decor felt like you're truly in Thailand. Unfortunately, the service was a bit subpar, at least with our server. We felt somewhat rushed throughout the meal, but thankfully, it didn't stop us from enjoying our food and conversation. The biggest surprise came when we received the check. Since it was my first time dining here, I didn't realize they automatically include a gratuity charge. For our party of three, a 20% gratuity was added. For reference: * Dine-in parties of 9 or fewer: 20% pre-tax gratuity * Dine-in parties of 10 or more: 25% pre-tax gratuity I would still recommend giving this place a try because the food is genuinely delicious. Just be sure to know about the automatic gratuity ahead of time so there are no surprises when the check arrives!

They served my friend chicken and insisted that it was pork! He doesn't eat chicken!! Story time!! We were in town for the Marathon weekend and tried to make a last minute resy. We got seated outside which was fine cuz we understand it was last minute). It was 40s outside and no heater in place... People seemed to come here for special events (we saw many grad parties or birthdays and date nights). We ordered noodles and curries. Huge portions that could serve 2 people per entree (or 1 very hungry runner per entree, which was the case for us). The food was tasty HOWEVER WE WERE GASLIT! My friend ordered his dish with pork and after a bite or two he realized it was chicken. We asked the waitress to send it back and she insisted it was pork (by this photo you can tell the top right dish's protein is the same as the chicken in the 2 curries...) and insisted that we were confused with curt demeanor... Service wise, we had multiple different waiters/ waitresses, one person seating us, another taking our order, another delivering the food, another filling the water, so it was very hard to communicate our concerns because it was one big telephone game. We didn't like the service, the outdoors dining area was cute and NOISY so don't plan on having conversations there. Parking was easy enough there were multiple garages nearby. Overall tasty food but we got the ick after being gaslit so probably won't come back.
