    Pad Thai
    Krista Z.

    Well this was my first time and it did not disappoint! We got lucky and got street parking very close by - the restaurant was not very crowded tonight - but mad e reservation just in case (highly recommended). We started with the crispy tofu and kimchi pancakes - while I don't eat tofu on a regular basis - I have to say theirs was sooo good! I also tried the pad Thai - cam with chicken, tofu and shrimp and it did not disappoint! There was plenty of food and even had some to take home! Definitely looking forward to our next visit ...

    We came to try it out for the first time. Appreciated free valet parking. Food was delicious and Skylar was an efficient and friendly server who was attentive and kept our water glasses filled. The restaurant started filling up.as we left around 6:30. The ambiance is romantic and a great place for a celebration.

    Thai chicken curry with egg noodles, yellow coconut curry, Chinese broccoli, pickled red onion, cilantro, lime
    Karen H.

    I had a birthday dinner here for eight people. When I needed to adjust the reservation, the staff did a great job of responding promptly online via the OpenTable app. The ambiance is on the darker side and cozy inside. The food is pan-Asian fare and it's pretty good for what it is. The Korean style red snapper was delicious and came with pork belly and rice cakes. I sampled all of my friend's other dishes and they were pretty good as well. I enjoyed our desserts and would get them again!

    Short Rib Dumplings (top) and Tuna Crispy Rice (bottom)
    Kira F.

    The drinks were yummy but not anything too special. Service was pretty good and they have complementary valet. The overall vibe was pretty nice as well. Favorite food of the nite was definitely the drunken noodles. The beef was so tender and the noodles were cooked to perfection as well as having the perfect spice level too! The short rib dumplings were good but very rich. Tuna crispy rice was delicious as well. The Thai curry was perfect to share because we did a more "family style" dinner. The pickled onions on top of the dish were spectacular!

    Chirashi bowl
    Anuj P.

    Their presentation was good, but the food was meh: The tuna wasn't fresh and had ice crystals. I would not order a Chirashi bowl here. Too expensive and not the quality I was expecting.

    Shitake Mushroom Spring Roll (4.25/5)
    Ryan S.

    I got the Shitake Mushroom Spring Roll (4.25/5) and the Hong Kong chicken with walnuts (4/5). The spring roll was nice and crispy, and the sauce added a nice little spice to it. The chicken and mushrooms were good, but I thought there was too much sauce, but I am also not a big fan of sauce in general. We went late on a Monday night, so it was not busy. However, the service was still super slow; it took us almost an hour to get our food (2/5), and they accidentally brought us the check before our food. This was our second time, and it was still good, but not as good as the first, especially the service.

    Soft Soft-Shell Crab
    Heather B.

    Beautiful restaurant, quiet atmosphere and dark mood lighting. Server was kind and wait staff was more serious. The soft shell crab dish I got was incredible - with lobster red curry and ginger fried rice. I did ask about spice level and they said it was spicy but that you couldn't request for lower spice, which is understandable. With that being said, I eat Thai curry often and this was much spicier than I anticipated, which did take away from the experience for me. It was a rich and flavorful dish.

    Gorgeous restaurant with a water installation, cool rocks to set your chopsticks on, and dim lighting. The service was prompt and attentive. I asked our waiter if the portion size of chirashi was good and he said it's a good size and that they have carry out boxes if I don't finish. Tell me why this was the smallest chirashi I have ever seen anywhere. The slices of fish were thinner than the sliced ginger. If you stacked all of the slices, it would make a normal size of one piece of nigiri. The slice of tuna was so thin, you could see through it, much less taste it. I was still starving after and got the fried chicken nuggets which were a good portion, with good crunch. The sauce on the chicken was devoid of flavor except for the SALT. They were even able to take the chicken flavor away from the meat which is kind of an accomplishment in itself. My friend got the Sichuan pork dumplings and the dumplings were drowning in soy sauce so much so that you couldn't taste the Sichuan spice (if there was any). There's a sushi restaurant nearby that gives me food poisoning every time I eat there and I would have much rather have eaten there than Soba. I would definitely recommend this place to my enemies because they'll leave broke and still hungry.

    Sakura Sour and Lychee Heartbreaker
    Nicole J.

    Had a chance to try everything on the limited time New Year's 2026 menu at Soba. Everything was cooked in such detail. You can tell by every bite the chef and team really did an amazing job. Always a great time at Soba, can't wait to see what they have in store for their next limited time menu

    Smash Burger...quite tasty
    Jonathan A.

    Came to celebrate some birthdays the week of Christmas. Was shocked to find an empty dining room at 5:30 but it did fill up as the evening went on. Love the valet parking and friendly staff. Food was prepared quickly and accurately. I enjoyed my smash burger and tots, a fun fusion twist on an American classic. Overall a great experience and a lovely night.

    Chirashi Bowl
    Anqi H.

    We came on a week night for dinner and they were packed by the time we left. I loved the ambience and decor of the place. It's great for getting together with friends. I tried the chirashi bowl. It had great presentation and flavors. However, the fish just weren't the best. They really should be the star in a chirashi bowl. They had a lot of other interesting items on the menu, so I would try something else next time. Service was friendly and prompt. It was also a plus that they had free valet parking. We had a great time here.

    Tuna
    Carol W.

    Excellent menu. Usually quite good except for one off night. We have been several times. Their food is quite good. Their edamame is, for some reason way better than what you get at many other places. I do however ask them to go easy on the sea salt. The tuna tartare with taro chips was particularly good because the taro chips were great. I also liked the seared tuna large plate. Their serving sizes are quite generous. They also have dim sum and sushi but we did not try these.

The online ordering experience was straightforward, and our takeout order was ready exactly when we expected it to be. Everything was nicely packaged. In terms of the food, it was fine. We had previously tried the salad roll as an appetizer, and went for the Took Took's roll this time. That worked well. The shrimp and crab meet is an interesting choice, but it was generally good. The tom yum soup was pretty spot on. The Pad Kra Paw and Pad Pak (both with vegetables rather than protein) were basically indistinguishable. Both good, but very similar. The Panang curry with tofu was good but was more tofu than vegetable. Not particularly noteworthy. One detail I'll note is that they allow for selecting a spiciness level for basically every dish, on a scale from zero to five. We went with a four, which is pretty standard for us. Turns out, that's very spicy at Took Took. That's what we ordered, but it's worth keeping in mind. Overall, this is a good destination. The food is nicely prepared. It's a good overall experience. It's just not at the top of my list for Thai food in Pittsburgh.

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 wouldn't really call this a supper club to be honest but the place definitely carries a house music bar vibe and the back bar area and seating is very dimly lit, perfect for cozying up and enjoying a drink late night. The ladies' room was so dark, I mistook it for a storage area because I could only make out a white ladder in the corner that was being used as cute shelving. The place is seat yourself. Our waiter was not super friendly and didn't offer to give us napkins or anything when our wobbly table caused our drinks to splash all over the place. The cook served our chicken with a big smile and happy interaction and we really loved his personality. The bartender also stopped by to bus our table and he was very pleasant as well. We enjoyed the perfectly fried small plate cauliflower with the plum sauce and the fried cheese/garlic wonton bites with the sriracha mayo spicy dipping sauce. The fried chicken breast on the large plate was slightly overcooked with a maple gochuchang sauce that was very bland. We were so thankful that the large plate fried chicken came with a side salad to offer some respite from the heaviness of the fried dishes. It would have been great to have some side acidic or fresh vegetable options like Kimchi or something. Maybe we tried the wrong dishes and there are other not fried things that are delicious? The dirty martini cocktail was just so-so, not really much flavor at all, but the mojito was very good and refreshing. It's probably a good late-night place for a bite and drink.

There are multiple other businesses here and dining experiences, which is great because you can walk around and experience them all if you want to.

Later on in the evening, I also ordered the coconut curry stir fry with chicken. Definitely a hearty dish with great flavor and there are noodles in this. I honestly wish that there would've been more of the curry in it because the noodles soaked up everything so there was really no additional broth or anything in the bowl.
