I came a few years ago and didn't like it, but I came back this week and was blown away. This place is amazing!!! Ended up coming 3 times within 2 weeks. I really love their ped krob. The curry is amazing and they give a huge portion of their duck. My other all time favorite is the mama kee mao. The seafood portion is also huge, and I love how they use jumbo shrimp. I think it's probably the best quality shrimp I've had in a while. The noodles are delicious as well, perfectly pan fried. All of their entrees are large portions and we always end up having extra to take home. For apps, all are great - some I recommend are the summer roll, crispy tofu, moo yang (also big portion size), and tom yum soup. I also really liked their Thai green tea. The tiramisu was a bit too much mascarpone but nonetheless still delicious. I liked how they use Thai tea instead of coffee for an unique twist. The restaurant itself is also adorable. Lighting is great, with both indoor and outdoor seating. Super easy to get a reservation last minute as well. Service is always fast.

Fine, but it could have been better. The actual restaurant space is relatively small, but it has good character. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, despite the number of guests they were supporting. We ordered takeout, and the ordering process was relatively straightforward. Our order took a little longer than expected, but that was mostly a result of the restaurant being very busy. In terms of the food, it was hit or miss. The fresh/summer rolls were nicely done, with an excellent portioning of ingredients. The fresh roll dipping sauce was particularly good relative to both flavor and texture. The tom yum soup was somewhat bland: it was spicy but lacked much in the way of other flavor. I felt like I needed to jump in with some lime juice and fish sauce to get it on course. The red curry also seemed lacking in flavor, but the prik pao was excellent. Like I said: all over the map. I'm glad we checked out the place, but I'm not sure we'll prioritize trying it again. It might be a better dine-in experience than takeout.

Craving Thai food, Yelp brought us here, a small Thai restaurant in Shadyside. We called ahead around 6pm on a Sunday in May. Our food was ready within 20-25 minutes. When you arrive for takeout, you'll pay there if you call ahead. The entire pick up took under two minutes. To eat, I ordered the chicken green curry mild. My wife got the larb and our eight-year-old daughter the pumpkin curry with chicken. When you order, they will ask your desired spice level from 0 to 3. The 0 is truly not spicy at all. Overall, the food was good. Was it the best green curry I've had? No, but it was still tasty, Vegetables like broccoli were more plentiful than the chicken.

Tucked away in what looks like someone's home is this amazing Thai restaurant. Ambiance was very welcoming and made it feel like you were stepping into your friends home for a meal. Portion size to price ratio was perfect. Service was 10 stars (shoutout Tu)!

This is a cute restaurant in a great location. Prices seem on par with other Thai restaurants. My panang curry was unfortunately pretty mediocre. There were SO many peas in this dish. I don't dislike peas but I didn't ask for peas with a side of chicken and curry. There were far too many peas. The curry itself seemed like it was frozen and reheated. Which I get it, you gotta batch prep food, but it wasn't warm and it was grainy and not flavorful. Finally, I asked for medium spice and was given the most bland dish. Overall just not a good experience and I would go elsewhere rather than return here.

Mama kee mao

Had another great meal at Senyai. Started with a couple of appetizers--classic Thai chicken satay and Thai wings. The wings I felt were a little dry. I'm not a huge satay fan, it's just a bit plain. The peanut sauce was good. My main course was excellent. I had mana kee mao. I wanted noodles and a lot of veggies. This had carrots, broccoli, green beans and Napa cabbage. It has a nice spice to it and I liked the curly noodles. All in all, a great meal!

Summer Rolls - V/GF
Lauren J.

VERY small Thai place in East Liberty but cute interior! The summer rolls were the star of the show and would come back just for these! The pad se ew was good but not the best I've ever had. Overall good experience curious to try some other items from here

ba mee moo tun
michelle j.

really great service and ambiance! everyone was really nice and attentive. the food was super yummy and dessert was incredible as well. the waitress recommended the mango mousse cake and i absolutely agree, it was definitely a standout. the mango sticky rice was also good, but the rice was a little too hard and dry for my liking.

Seafood Delight and Pad Si-Ew -G
Alexa S.

Delicious Thai food in Shadyside! They have indoor and outdoor seating with heaters when it's cold out along with string lights that create a nice atmosphere outside. We started off with the seafood delight which had shrimp and calamari. The breading was solid light and crisp and the sauce was so tasty! For my entree I got the si-ew and the flavor was absolutely phenomenal. I enjoyed every bite, such a comforting dish. I only have 4 stars instead of 5 because the broccoli was a little hard, but that's my personal preference! Highly recommend; wide array of Thai dishes to try on the menu. I look forward to going back and trying more!

Pad Thai with Tofu. And it's delicious!!!!  Pad Thai -GF

Incredible food and the service is amazing. Great outdoor dining experience. It's a hot day and we are sitting in the shade. Outdoor fans help. LOL

Ceiling

Talk about a business from home. As soon as I walked into this restaurant, I was like, did I just walk into someone's house? The first thing you see is a stairway that looks exactly like something you would have in your private home. You don't go up the stairway, rather you turn right into the restaurant and Despite the very modern ceiling, the restaurant also feels very homey. Not too many seats but there is outdoor seating available with some heated lamps. I came in on a Monday night around 7:45 PM and had to wait about 10 minutes for a table. So I would recommend getting a reservation no matter what day of the week it is. They serve your typical Thai foods but also have a long list of chef specials. For appetizer, I got the crab Rangoon and the chicken wings. The crab Rangoon was so good, highly recommended. The chicken wings were crispy but a bit too dry for my liking and didn't have enough seasoning. I can't remember what I got from my entrée but it involved pork and was from the chefs specials. It was very good and came with a small bowl of white rice. Portions were large. The food was good enough that I would definitely come back in the future

Tom Yum - GF and Crispy Rolls - V
Ryan S.

The mama kee mao, kee mao, tom yum soup, and crunchy rolls were all good (4/5), although we thought it was a little expensive for what it was. The shrimp in the mama kee mao and kee mao was very good! However, the service was slow, but they did a good job of keeping our waters filled once the food did come. The restaurant is really small, so you probably want to make a reservation before trying to go.

Pad Medmamuang
Molly H.

I visited Senyai Thai this past weekend for a spontaneous dinner and it was a delight! I've never been here before but I will certainly be back ASAP. We were sat out on the covered deck, which was LOVELY, and our service was quick and friendly. We asked our servers for suggestions and they provided great insights and thoughts. I tried the Pad Medmamuang for my entree and it was outstanding. It's a stir-fry dish consisting of crispy chicken, carrots, onions, peppers, and hearty cashews in a DELICIOUS sauce that was sweet and salty and nutty all at once. Our table also split the summer rolls and the seafood delight as appetizers. Along with my dish, I ordered a Thai iced tea, which was wonderful and refreshing. I loved my meal so much, and I cannot wait to return for the flavors, service, and ambiance! As a note, it's a small restaurant, so I will make a reservation next time I visit. Also, BYOB!

solid. the beef in the braised beef noodle soup was pretty tender and the portion size was big…read more broth was also good, flavorful but not too salty. i liked how they had the option of wide noodles the pork xlb was also very good, skin was thin and lots of soup inside. the golden tofu nuggets was good too, tofu was very soft and outside was crispy. the fried stuff bun was decent, i was expecting it to be more pan fried and crispy but it was more just like a meat bun

They have a series of vegetarian appetizers, but that's not their focus. In terms of the overall experience, the staff is very friendly and on top of things. We ordered takeout, but the online ordering site didn't give us a confirmation of our order. A quick call to the restaurant confirmed that everything was received and already in process. In terms of the food, the wood ear mushrooms and tofu skins was a clear winner. The broccoli was fine, but I would have preferred Chinese broccoli or watercress if they were available. The five spiced eggplant was fine: steamed to a custard-like level of softness, then paired with a salty sauce and served cold. The dan dan noodles were probably best suited for a dine-in experience and didn't really travel well. My partner tells me that the stuffed pork buns were good, but the solid piece of pork in the center was less optimal than something shredded or thinned out with some vegetable matter. All told, this was a good experience. The vegetarian appetizers were good but not exceptional. The various noodle and bun dishes were very nicely crafted. The hand made noodles were a particularly nice touch, with a lot more flavor and texture than I would have ever expected. If I have any requests, it would be for more vegetable centric noodle options.

On Saturday and Sunday there are many, many more. I always start with vegetable spring rolls. These were especially good. Also had the tasty pancake beef rolls. Will stop again next time we are near the McCandless Ross Townships border. The restaurant is bright, cheery, and clean. No dim sum carts however. Ample parking abounds in the McIntyre Square complex.

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.
