One of the best meals I've had this year!! Our first time at Pusadee's and definitely won't be the last. We started with drinks, something cozy and new person, same old mistakes. Both delicious. The 17 ingredient salad is highly recommended and we could tell why. So refreshing and flavorful. It was fun finding all of the 17 ingredients. For our entrees I got the crispy shrimp and my boyfriend got the khao soi. Both left us craving more the whole drive home. Staff were so pleasant and happy to answer any questions. Beautiful restaurant, indoor and outdoor. I think next time we visit, we will have a later reservation outside to enjoy the greenery. Make a reservation at least a month in advance!! If not, there are some bar seats available but make sure to get there early. read more

I have been getting my hair done next to this restaurant for four years now and I have been meaning to get a reservation, but it takes so long and I just never stuck with it. Finally, I was determined and I booked out probably 2 1/2 months in advance.... And ended up going in the dead of winter. I know that I would've enjoyed my experience much more if we could've sat in the garden, that's probably an excellent vibe. I'm a spicy marg lover so I tried-new person same old mistakes-it didn't really strike me as spicy but more so smoky and I wanted spicy. We did the khao yum-it was unique, I think I would really have loved this. If it was hot out it seems like it would be very refreshing and light and more ideal for the spring and summer and like I said we went in the dead of winter. I did the beef tenderloin as my main and it was good, it wasn't too spicy, had a nice flavor, but I don't know that I would order it again. If it wasn't so hard to get a reservation, I would definitely come here more. I really liked the vibe and the aesthetic. read more

With spring approaching, you HAVE to make a reservation at pusadees garden. I've been twice so far & w o w is it good. I've sat in the courtyard & inside by the bar. I can decide which is my favorite! Pusadee's is a Thai restaurant! Reservations are highly recommended (we always made one) can be made via Resy, opening one day at a time, 30 days in advance at 7 a.m FYI. Walk-ins are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis - esp for the bar! We LOVED their cocktails. So elevated & chic. Tasted great! What we ordered for dinner (photos are listed here) crispy shrimp, garlic/shallot/tamarind sauce beef tenderloin, holy basil, garlic, chilis, sweet & spicy bell peppers pan roasted halibut, three-chili tamarind garlic sauce, zucchini, bear's tooth, lion's mane and oyster mushrooms Be careful with your spice level!

This is my second time here and I do suggest going with a large group and sharing everything. The salad is a must get, it was super flavorful and had lots of textures going on. The other must get is the Khao soi. All the meat was super tender. Would not get the eggplant dip again, not as much flavor as the other dishes we had. I wish the main dishes came with more rice as we ate all the rice and still had meat leftover. The staff were helpful and packed up our leftovers to go in boxes and labeled them. read more

Finally made it here. Have to give it 5 stars. Not all of the food was a 5 but the service came in for the win. The roti with curry was great, I'd actually like it with no chicken. As noted, the 17 ingredient salad was top notch and they described all 17 ingredients! I wasn't a fan of thr thom yum but my friend loved it. It was about mild for me. Desert was lovely. I'd return all day. read more

Pusadee's Garden - Thai Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Another stellar meal and experience at one of our favorite restaurants! We had the New Person Same Old Mistakes to drink, and they were delicious! For appetizers, we had the spicy eggplant, tuna/salmon sashimi and pork meatballs. All were incredible ! For dinner, I had the prawn/scallop special and my husband got the halibut. The prawn/scallop special was on the menu for Valentine's Day, and it was so popular, they're adding it to the menu. Lucky for me! For dessert we ordered the coconut ice cream with sweet potatoes. I know the pairing sounds odd but it was amazing and you should trust the Ingredients work together. The server, Emily was fantastic. The perfect balance of what we wanted and so hospitable. The ambiance, as always, was absolutely stunning. Wow is all I have to say about all of it! read more

I've been to Pusadee's Garden several times over the years & my take aways are the following- For the caliber and quality of the food, the price is excellent. The staff are always friendly and knowledgeable. The ambiance varies throughout the restaurant - dark and moody on one side, very chic at the bar, and a bit lighter and homey on the other side. Not to mention the garden, which if you're lucky enough to get a seat out there - take It. As for the food the Roti & the 17 ingredient salad are absolute must-haves. The beef tenderloin is fantastic. The panaag curry originally comes with shrimp, which are delicious, however, I've recently been getting the panaag curry with tempura vegetables and find the combo to be worth repeating. As for the Khao soi beef and noodles - another good options but I much preferred it back when it was made with short rib. Overall, a great date night spot that you will keep coming back to. read more

Second time dining at Pusadee's Garden. Stopped in yesterday for a late dinner. This time, I switched things up and ordered different items than last visit. Started the night off with the highly recommended roti with yellow curry, chicken, and sweet potato. This was great. Roti was soft, warm, and chewy. The yellow curry with chicken and sweet potato had some great flavor. Sort of a sweet and savory combo going on which i highly enjoyed. Next, I tried the mushroom laab. This was great as well. A variety of different mushrooms mixed with tomato and shallot. I believe there were some fried shallot in there as well which added some nice crispy textures. All of this was tossed in that classic funky fish sauce/lime combo which was very tasty. Ton of different flavors going on in this dish which I love. Lastly, for my entree, I opted for the pumpkin curry. This was loaded with a ton of perfectly cooked veggies. Broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, eggplant, and of course the thai pumpkin. I liked how the brussel sprouts and the cauliflower were both seared before being added to the curry. Overall, great dish. That said, I still feel myself partial to the khao soi. I also tried a bite of their panang curry. I'm not sure what their secret is, but that shrimp is some of the greatest I've ever had. Might need to order this for myself next time. Overall, 10/10 as always. This restaurant is great. Service is top notch. Despite how much water I drink, my tiny glass was never empty. Vibes are great. Food is the best. What else can I say. Chef's kiss. read more

Worth the wait for reservations, absolutely amazing meal! The ambiance, decor, and building are impressive as soon as you walk in. We started with a variety of apps - the eggplant dip, sashimi, tuna laab, and the pork belly. The eggplant dip was billed as spicy but I'd say the sauce on the sashimi was more spicy. Nevertheless all four were light and flavorful. Of the three of us we couldn't decide on a favorite among them, they were all wonderful. The mains were the halibut, the crispy shrimp, and the beef cheek. The crispy shrimp was in a delightful sweet tamarind sauce. The mild halibut had a nice punch from the chili sauce and the mushrooms and greens beans on the side were a perfect accompaniment. The beef cheek was yummy and spicy with very tender beef. The spiced creme brulee was exceptional but the sticky rice custard edged it out for favorite dessert. Pro tip - reservations drop daily for a month in advance at 7:00 am and can be gone within minutes, so it's worth setting an alarm if you want a specific day. read more

Pusadee's Garden was one of the best eating experiences I have ever had in Pittsburgh. I can't believe it took me so long to try this place. It is very difficult to get a reservation, but after going, you understand why. From the moment you walk you feel like you are at a nice restaurant on vacation somewhere. The high ceilings in the bar area were a really cool setup. Everything just feels new and clean inside. I wish we would have been here in the summertime because the outdoor eating area looked amazing. We started with the roti, yellow curry, sweet potato, shredded chicken. This was the perfect winter appetizer. Super flavorful and comforting. And the pita or whatever the bread the served with it was the perfect fit for the dish. Next, we had the 17 ingredient mixed salad, which came with a tamarind dressing. This was a refreshing salad after our first appetizer and another must try on the menu. I am not sure how they came up with a salad where all of the flavors work so perfectly together, but this was an incredible salad. The toasted coconut with each bite was my favorite part. For my meal I went with the khao soi beef cheek, which included egg noodles, pickled mustard greens, red and yellow curry. Every part of this dish was perfect. The beef was so tender it almost fell apart. The curry and noodles had the perfect amount of sweet and spice to the flavor. It would be hard for me to order anything different when I go back. They also have a lot of really unique drink options to try. My wife had the "New Person, Same Old Mistakes", which was a really good tequilla based drink. Will definitely try some more next time we are back. Overall, this is a must try place for anyone in the Pittsburgh area! read more

Pusadee's was the best restaurant choice this visit! I have no complaints, at all. The food, the staff, the ambiance - ALL ON POINT. Order the 17 Ingredient Salad, then eat everything else on the menu. I loved the flavors! Your dining experience matters here. Even the water service is great! Speaking of that... PUSADEE'S TEAM, WHERE CAN I GET ONE OF THOSE WATER KETTLES?????! read more

Pusadee's Garden - Thai Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

My all time favorite restaurant in Pittsburgh! I am fortunate to have visited countless times and this visit for my anniversary was just as amazing as every other time. Our server, Carmel, made our meal so enjoyable! She was incredibly attentive and was so personable. We were able to sit in the garden despite the dropping temperatures, and it was so kind of the host to message us earlier in the day if we wanted an earlier time to avoid the coldest temps later on in the night. The garden is beautiful in the fall!! We were given complimentary glasses of sparkling wine for our anniversary and proceeded to order all of our favorite dishes: the chicken roti, squid, crispy shrimp, and the beef cheek noodles. I can guarantee you'll love every one of these dishes. The wine list is vast and the servers are very knowledgeable about the profiles of each one! Our server mentioned that there was a limited edition dessert for the night, probably to test trial a future dessert. As soon as I heard it was a Thai tea creme brûlée I knew we had to try it. I am still dreaming about it! I love how prominent the Thai tea flavor itself was in the dish and it was a perfect end to our meal. We can't go long without a visit so looking forward to our next and hopefully soon next meal here! read more

The ambiance and service are great. The restaurant is quite large and the garden seating has warm lighting and lots of greenery. The appetizers were my favorite part of the meal. The giant squid was so tender and didn't have any of the usual tough chewiness that you get with squid. The green sauce paired perfectly with the meat. The 17 ingredient salad is tossed table side and has so many textures and flavors which makes for a rlly refreshing and yummy salad. I especially liked the crispy rice on top. The khao soi's beef cheek is cooked so that it just melts in your mouth. The actual curry in the khao soi could have been a bit more flavorful but the meat is really the star of the show. The pumpkin curry was solid but not standout. Would definitely go back again. read more

It's rare to find a perfectly executed and absolutely delicious dining experience but Pusadee's is serving that up in spades. The outdoor patio was really delightful on an early autumn evening. They don't offer heat lamps but we dressed in layers so it was fine. Our waiter was absolutely phenomenal - patient and helpful with a smile. We loved everything we had - from exquisite craft cocktails and carafe of wine on tap to their infamous 17 ingredient salad, grilled shrimp, short rib entree, fried shrimp, giant squid, morning glory with mushrooms, and custard over sweet rice. They knocked it out of the park! Bravo! read more

The ambiance here is a 10/10! The inside seating was very modern but cozy with beautiful plants everywhere. The outdoor garden/patio looks like a really cool space, and we would love to come enjoy this when it's warm! Also, all the indoor seating looks to be in little booth alcoves, or at least have cozy chairs. The service was great, we never had to wait for water or refills, our waiter was checking in diligently! As for the food, I really enjoyed some dishes, and would maybe pass on some others. We started with the 17 ingredient salad- happy we tried it because of all of the interesting flavors but might not get again. We also got lemongrass meatballs which I believe were $20 and came with two small meatballs. The flavors were delicious, but what you get for the price was a little disappointing. We absolutely loved the sweet potato roti! It was creamy and sweet and spiced perfectly, with really yummy roti to dip. Lastly we ordered the crispy shrimp, which came with rice. The shrimp are fried perfectly and come with a sweet spicy sauce and some fresh herbs. We are excited to return and try more dishes and see the patio garden!! read more

We went to celebrate our 3-year anniversary and had an amazing experience from start to finish. The wine recommendations were excellent, and the salad was honestly one of the best we've had in the city. Huge shoutout to Dominic, our server, for guiding us through the menu and steering us in all the right directions. I definitely should have listened to his warning about the spice level of the jungle curry, but the dish itself was absolutely fantastic and full of flavor. We were especially appreciative when he brought over coconut milk to help cool down the heat. Everything was so good that we wished we had saved room to try more dishes, especially dessert. Overall, it made for a perfect date night with even more exceptional service! read more

One of the cities most well regarded restaurants is no hidden gem. TIP: if you get there at 4:30 and wait in line, they accept some walk ins. Otherwise reservations are booked out for a month. My favorite thing to order here is the curry and the roti. Everything here is delish! read more

This restaurant has been on my list for awhile. Overall the service was slow to start, we sat near the bar and it took awhile for anyone to come over. The ambiance is impeccable, absolutely beautiful to be in. Overall the food was good but I had heard so many things about it that I was expecting more. The beef cheek was more on the sweet side, I was expecting something different. Overall expensive but you are expecting that. read more

The food here is top notch! I had the pork belly and it was phenomenonal - the pork just melts in your mouth and the curry gives it a deep flavor. Everything was very impressive in terms of it's flavors. However, I was very impressed by how hospitable the servers were. I came here with a group of guys on a Wednesday night around closing time, and we had a great time taking in the setting while getting top notch service.

Pusadee's Garden - Pumpkin Curry - Thai Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Too 10 restaurants in Pittsburgh. Food, ambience and staff are all top notch. Must have is the Roti(not pictured). Everything else is awesome so pick based on your favorite flavor profile. I would suggest one of the heavier curry dishes(beef cheek or shank) and then a lighter seafood dish if you're down with sharing. But seriously, I've had many things on the menu and nothing is disappointing. read more

I've been fortunate to dine at many of the "best" restaurants in Pittsburgh, but this one has gotta be in my top three! Between all the dishes we ate, I think nearly every flavor on the palate was consumer... fresh, savory, creamy, spicy and sweet and more. Every bite seemed to be perfectly curated to be the best bite... and you wanted more! There wasn't one thing we tried that didn't have some level of *wow* factor. A favorite was the Massaman Curry, the 17 ingredient and the pork belly. I've "eaten" that curry and lamb in my head every few days since I've been there! The server was excellent - walked us through each menu item as it was our first visit. And last, but not least, they have created the most perfect and relaxed dining atmosphere. From the street, it is rather discreet and you could pass by without even realizing what a treasure awaits inside. Once you step inside, it's like you've traveled to a new city or place! read more

Ooo this meal! The vibes are fantastic and the cocktail menu is fun. The food was delicious. It's a great location for a celebration or just a normal evening that you want to feel a bit more elevated. It is on the pricier side and while I found sound of the portions to be smaller, that wasn't true for each plate and I found it to be well worth it. The service was great and I could've stayed for 2 more hours ordering apps and drinks! read more

An absolute must visit. I was lucky to get in without a reservation being a solo traveler and was sat at the bar. First of all the restaurant is absolutely gorgeous with a center atrium area. Every server/host that I encountered was welcoming and friendly. I ended up getting the Khao Soi with beef cheek and it was insanely tasty. The meat was fall apart tender and the spices were spot on. The bartender and I chatted for most of the meal about other restaurants I needed to try in the area while I was visiting on business. This place is a culinary and hospitality delight. Don't miss it! read more

Pusadee's is one of Pittsburgh's best restaurants. It has everything you could ask for: a simple, refined menu, great drinks/wine list, beautiful ambiance, and good service. Having been here twice now, I'd recommend it to anyone visiting or living in Pittsburgh. We tried the squid appetizer along with the pork belly and grilled shrimp entrees, which were all outstanding. Beautiful plating and array of flavors. Prices are on par for fine dining in Pittsburgh. Excited to visit Pusadee's again in the warmer months with hopes of sitting in the garden. read more

Great destination. The food is somewhat of a hip/modern take on Thai cuisine, with classic Thai dishes presented with somewhat of a twist. The space and service is very up-scale. It's essentially a special occasion or date night type destination. That all makes for a great experience, but you also need to be prepared to make reservations well in advance. As an additional note, they do a decent job making vegetarian options available. If you're more on the pescatarian side of the fence and are okay with fish sauce, then you have even more options. read more

Expensive. I remember when they were just in the first floor of the building, now they have built a Thai fortress with class and quality, but unfortunately, high prices. Everything I've ever had here was great. I remember eating in the garden, but that was over 7 years ago. Last time we went we were seated inside. Great cocktails, great food, but definitely higher end than the old days. What an interesting success story for Pittsburgh. read more

Pusadee's Garden wowed us from start to finish. The crispy shrimp--technically an entrée--made the perfect appetizer: big, juicy, and perfectly breaded (10/10). The 17-ingredient salad was fresh with a perfect salty-sweet balance. For mains, the five-spice pork belly was rich and flavorful, while the braised beef cheek was incredibly tender and generously portioned. The garden is gorgeous, the indoor space is stunning, and the service and vibe make it a must-visit for beautifully executed Thai flavors. read more

I woke up early a month ago and was able to snag dinner reservations at Pusadee'sfor yesterday! Our server was patient and lovely and ambiance is fantastic. The drinks we got were beautifully balanced and delightful - peep that adorable elephant glass. The food is phenomenal and the sauces on these dishes were so flavorful and well done.  My favorites were the salad, the beef cheek, lamb shank, the One Steep at a Time drink, and Bubbz in the Clubz. I generally don't repeat dishes but I've had pretty much all of these before and had to have them again. It's truly a testament to how great their food menu is that it hasn't changed much over the last few years and I will definitely be back for sure! read more

A group of girlfriends and I were lucky enough to score a Thursday night dinner at Pusadee's Garden, and it was a great experience from start to finish. We started off with the pork belly, pork tenderloin, and 17-ingredient salad. The pork belly melted in our mouths, the pork tenderloin was served on perfectly crispy baguette slices, and the salad had a complex but delicious blend of savory flavors. For our entrées, we split the crispy shrimp, the beef cheek, the jungle curry, and the lamb shank. Every single piece of meat brought to our table was so tender that it was falling apart! The jungle curry sauce was perfect for those at the table who didn't have a high spice tolerance, and I will be dreaming of the creamy, slightly sweet sauce in which the lamb was served in the days to come. We ordered one of each of the desserts on the menu, and I don't know if I can pick a favorite! The ice cream was the perfect level of sweetness and had great texture, but the sweet sticky rice dessert was delicious as well. All of our food was brought out in a timely manner, and we never waited for a refill on our water. Their staff are all attentive and friendly. Pusadee's is definitely more of a 'special occasion' place to get dinner, but I am already looking for my next "special occasion" so I have a reason to go. read more

The food was amazing--went out of our comfort zone and tried squid and it was delicious. Also got the 17 ingredient salad which is unbelievable! Pumpkin curry and pork belly were awesome for entrees. Service was helpful and gave wonderful recommendations. Absolutely recommend sitting in the garden and you must try the sticky mango rice for dessert!! Ambiance is the best at Pusadees! read more

The pumpkin curry must be good, because I went back here this fall and got it again. It really is a lovely bowl full of vegetable goodness (cauliflower, brussels sprouts, basil, mushrooms, and of course pumpkin); I added some chicken on top to make it a blow-out meal. Kudos that the chicken add-on was thighs; dark meat has so much flavor. I will probably come back every fall for my Pusadee's pumpkin curry. My wife started off with the 'Give it a Chai' cocktail. She thought it was excellent; chai flavor with some lemon/ginger zip. She then got a dish with beef cheek, egg noodle, and some yellow curry. We had never tried beef cheek before but it was super soft and delish. Egg noodles (of which there was a heaping mound) speak for themselves. read more
