Vibe
Phil M.

I didn't get what I ordered lol but this one was still good. Ended up receiving the street noodle #2 with fried shrimp instead of chicken. I really liked the sweet and tangy sauce it was in but it did make the shrimp soggy instead of crunchy. Portion was on the smaller end for sure but nice vibe here. I got spice level 3 which was perfect for me

Definitely need to return to this place. The outdoor seating is a vibe, the service is great and so is the food. Especially liked the dipping sauces

Thai tea
Lena O.

One of my favorites - I enjoyed the see ew again with shrimp. There was a light-moderate amount of shrimp in it and you had to take the tails off yourself. Everyone I was with enjoyed their meals. The Thai tea with boba was also good, although the boba tasted strangely bland, which isn't important but I noticed somehow. It was busy there but service was still quick. The restaurant is decorated cutely with lots of wood and plants as well making it a good vibe.

street noodle #2 kee mao chu chee curry kapow basil
Taylor Y.

By far, this is one of my favorite restaurants in Pittsburgh! When I am craving a comfortable bowl of noodles, this is my go to place. I especially enjoy the street noodle dishes, the kee mao, and the curry dishes. The ambience inside the restaurant is incredibly cute and cozy, and it is perfect for catching up with friends, a date, or family dinner. The service is also friendly and usually quick. However, because this is a popular restaurant, be prepared to wait a while for the table if you're there on a weekend or evening.

street noodle #1 and  chu chee curry
Nikelle E.

We live so close to noodlehead so we go pretty often now and if you are visiting it is a must. Any plate I try is always delicious and it comes out so quick !! The additional outdoor seating is so great for summer nights. They are byob with a very low corkage fee so definitely take advantage of it!!

kapow basil - chicken fried rice
Michael W.

This place is so good. There are a lot of restaurants in this area and to go more than 1-2 times means something. This is my second time and I will say that the spice is what I crave. First time I had Thai Fried Rice, level 3 spice, and it was great. This time I got Basil Fried Rice, spice level 3. Next time I come I want to go level 4 for spice. I want to rave about the service: it is perfect. Attentive, personable, but not hovering. Ambiance is a little loud but you can carry on a conversation.

Menu

First visit was in March. Second visit the beginning of May. Inside dining area has a country charm with wooden tables, booths, chairs and even a wooden accent wall. Front is full windows that face Highland Ave. Very busy on a Friday evening. The waitress was very kind and helpful. Service with a smile. First time I ordered the Chu Chee Curry Fried Chicken and loved every bite. Second time I ordered Khao Soi and it's equal delicious. Although, this one come with grilled chicken. I think I liked their Thai fried chicken better than the grilled chicken. Next time I need to try this dish with rice noodles as our waitress said it soaks up the curry better than the regular noodles do.

Street Noodle #2
Stephanie W.

Hubby and I had lunch at Noodlehead recently. I don't go to Shadyside often, so I found this restaurant because of Yelp. I liked it a lot!!! The Street Noodle #2 with tempura shrimp spice level 2 was crispy, saucy and lightly sweet. The Thai Style Fried Rice with grilled shrimp spice level 3 was deeply flavorful with crunchy veg and herby basil. The portions and spice level was perfect for one lunch. The waitstaff was friendly and the Thai decor very clean and modern. There is an outdoor seating area but that wasn't available when I went. Would definitely recommend.

Noodlehead came as a great recommendation, we rushed over and put our names down. After waiting a quick 30 (was nice enough to walk around the area) - we were seated at the window bar seats. The staff was super friendly and very efficient. The papaya salad was divine, leaning to the spicier side but it was addicting and every bite was a great combine of sweet, fresh, spice, with the most delectable crunch. I got the street noodle #1, it was excellent. The fried chicken did get a little soggy with the sauce but it had a great broth to accompany all of the delicious noodles and with everything in one bite it was divine. Based on what I've heard, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu - I would definitely come back and try the curry next time :)

Pulled Pork Belly Steam Buns (MUST ORDER!)
Genevieve G.

Noodlehead is a must visit spot whose casual, energetic vibe reflects the deliciousness that awaits you once you take your seat. I visited here on a weeknight and the place was POPPIN!! Despite the restaurant being filled with a beautiful mix of diners from seemingly all walks of life. The waiter was animated and helpful with deciding on which appetizers to choose. We opted for the pork dumplings (went with fried cause we were going "light" with the buns, lol) and the pulled pork steam buns. The dumplings were perfectly fried, bites of well flavored pork and the soy-based dipping sauce offer the needed salty contrast. The buns. Ohhhh the buns. Pillowy soft, perfectly sized for a handheld bite and filled with the most unctuous pulled pork. It didn't hurt that it had a schmear of a slightly tangy mayo-based sauce and crisp cukes for contrast. 11 out of 10. For entrees, we went with the Love Boat "Noodlehead Style" which is one of the best noodle-based soups that have ever graced my lips. Thin rice noodles were bathing in an uber-flavorful, soy-centric broth that had strips (can also choose cubes) of perfectly cooked beef and a smattering of thinly sliced Chinese broccoli, cilantro and Thai basil. Topped with fried wonton crisps. Just. Perfect. The second entree we went with was the Street Noodle #1 which came with thicker egg noodles that were enrobbed in a tamarind-centric sauce and topped with fresh cilantro and thin and crisp fried chicken breast. All in all a solid dish, especially if you like your entrees on the more sweet/tangy side. Though it says they accept cash-only they must have recently changed this since cards they indeed accept (but they do have an ATM inside too). Noodlehead. I reallllyy wish you weren't ~5 hours away because you'd be a staple part of my restie rotation, especially when I was craving a big bowl of Thai penicillin. Go here. Soon. You won't regret it.

khao soi, see yew, pad thai, street noodle #2
Ashlee L.

the khao soi was sooo yummy i loveddd it. noodles were very qq. only note is that the chicken was a little bit dry so i'd recommend trying tofu the see yew was really tasty too and not too salty i wasn't the biggest fan of the pad thai tho bc it was kinda soggy

One of our fav spots! Have been going here since they had just a few items on their menu and were cash only. Their expanded menu and specials are phenomenal! The service is always great. They have at least 2 tables for groups as big as 7-10 people, so my friends and I love coming here! And if you have to wait to be seated, you can stop by any of the bars (or ice cream spots) on the street!

crab rangoon
Taylor G.

Now I know why this is on every Pittsburgh Food reviewers list of best places in the city! Noodlehead has been on my list to try for a long time and I finally made there for lunch while my car was getting worked on. The vibes are very cozy inside and my server was such a sweetie and helped talk through the menu with me. Everything sounded so good, it was hard to make a decision. I ultimately landed on the crab rangoons to start and the pad thai with thai fried chicken for my main. The rangoons were very good and I loved the sauce they came with. The star of the show was the main course and the crispy chicken was the best move. Will 100% be back to try more of the menu!

I visited with 3 friends for dinner in late September 2026 during our day trip to Pittsburgh. We…read morearrived around 6:30pm and we were seated right away. We are lucky that we didn't have to wait to be seated because the restaurant is small plus we were all hungry. FOOD -- Come ready to eat because the food is delicious. I didn't even realize until later that there is a window by which you can watch the employees roll and stretch dough to make noodles. Here is what we ordered: -- Pork Soup Dumplings ($14 for 8 pieces) - number 16 on the menu. If you love soup dumplings then you'll like this if you eat pork. I ordered this and enjoyed it. The dough of the dumplings was super soft and fresh. I hadn't had soup dumplings in a long time so I was happy to eat them again. -- Shrimp with Loofah Soup Dumplings ($16 for 8 pieces) - number 20 on the menu. A friend ordered this and she loved it. A perfect and light dish. I tried a piece and it tasted good. -- Pan Fried Pork buns ($9 for 3 big pieces) - number 37 on the menu. I ordered this and it was very delicious. I could only eat one during dinner because I was full so I took the remaining two pieces in a to-go box home. -- Pan Friend Green Onion Pancakes ($8 for smaller 4 pieces) - number 34 on the menu. We all split this four piece dish and really enjoyed it. The green onion pancakes are a light appetizer dish. It is definitely fried as I tasted some oil on it. -- Braised Beef Noodle Soup ($17) - number 21 on the menu. This is a large bowl of soup. My friend Huda ordered this and she allowed me to try some. This beef noodle soup is full of flavour and contains a generous amount of beef in it. Definitely order this especially during the cold weather months. -- Dan Dan Noodles, Szechuan Style ($11) - number 49 on the menu -- My friend's younger sister ordered this and it looked okay. I didn't try it but I think my friend's sister liked it. -- Sesame Rice Balls ($5) - YUMMY!! I ordered this dessert to go. I gave my friend's one or two to try and they loved it. This is number 58 on the menu. These are four small pieces of gooey/sticky dough filled with red bean paste on the inside and coated with sesame seeds on the outside. Served hot but they can be eaten cold too. I have always loved sesame balls so I enjoyed the ones here at Everyday Noodles. We all tried a little bit of each other's order but we didn't fully share food. Everyday Noodles is a great restaurant to share food amongst your table because some of their menu items come in big quantity like the soups and also smaller quantities such as the pork buns and sesame balls. Overall, the food was tasty and customer service was attentive. I will visit again if I'm ever back in Pittsburgh. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 206/250 total reviews in 2026 - 1047 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 3 November 2026

My book club and I decided to meet at Everyday Noodles in Squirrel Hill and order too much food!…read more The inside isn't super big and they don't take reservations but the five of us showed up a little before six on a Tuesday and were able to get a table immediately. Our eyes were bigger than our stomachs and we ordered a little bit of everything to share! Everything came out insanely quickly (we got all of our food and finished eating within the hour) which was great because we were HUNGRY and ready to eat. We all agreed that everything was flavorful and delicious and my personal favorites were the wontons, boba, shao mai, pork soup dumplings, green onion pancake, and pan fried pork buns. Don't skip dessert here - the desserts are stellar and sweet but not too sweet!

We ordered takeout this time, and the overall experience was great. We placed an order online, and everything was very neatly packaged and ready to go when expected. The food even travelled fairly well, such that it was still in good shape after traveling home. The restaurant itself is in a bit of a drab strip mall, but it's generally nicely decorated with colorful signage and a nicely kept interior. In terms of the food, the shrimp spinach dumplings were really nicely done, with lots of flavor and texture. My partner especially enjoyed the barbecue pork bao, which were nicely steamed with a very flavorful filling. The egg tart was good, but not really my thing. It had a bit of a caramelized sugar flavor reminiscent of waffles with syrup. The spicy oil splashed noodles, one of the noodle dishes on the menu, was generally lacking: some nice toppings, but not much flavor. Overall, this is a nice little place that seems to be fairly well run. I suggest going for the dim sum and giving up on expectations for anything on the menu that isn't dim sum. Find another restaurant for your main course.
