I had a great experience here! The service was great, and the waitress was friendly. There was a plethora of vegetarian options on the menu which I always appreciate at a restaurant. The Kao Soi with tofu was delicious, especially with the tomato flavored sauce that came with it. I also like how you can order different spice levels for each dish. read more

I got the Snow White Noodle with egg noodles and duck (4.25/5). I was pleasantly surprised with how much noodles and broth there was, but the duck was a little underwhelming. The broth had a good flavor and wasn't too rich. The service was pretty good (4/5), especially since there was only one person working. The interior of the restaurant is quite nice (4.25/5), especially given the restaurants affordability. read more

Great taste! Good portions. But warning that it is actually spicy. I usually get pretty high levels everywhere I go, I got a 4 and my boogers came out! But it's delicious and fairly priced. Do recommend! read more

They are one of the few Thai places that are opened later at night which is convenient. Their food is incredibly spicy, please be very aware of this! I wasn't a fan of food. I've been here 3 times and I can officially say that I'm not a fan. The eggplant fritters were soaked in oil and the eggplant were just cut up slices. The tofu was good! I felt like the portions for the food were very small and definitely didn't represent the price. The service was good and the people there were really nice. read more

It's easy to miss Took Took 98 since it's a small storefront in Squirrel Hill, but this would be a mistake! It was a decent place to get Pad Thai for pick up. I dined in here once, and the service was quick and the food was decent. It's not the best Thai food in Pittsburgh, but it is quick and decently priced. If you want Thai for a quick dinner, Took Took 98 is a decent option! read more

Four of us stopped by around 6pm on Sunday evening and we were the only ones there for a bit. The menu is fairly large. The inside isn't super huge so I wouldn't bring a group bigger than 6-8 people here. Our service was a bit on the slow side once it got busier but it wasn't a big deal. The food itself is on the spicy side - I got a three out of food and I thought it was spicy even with my high spice tolerance. Sadly I didn't have enough room for dessert. read more

Ordered pickup from Took Took using DoorDash for dinner with our friend. The food is really good. We used to order from them a lot during Covid. The store had our meal ready in about 20 minutes. A friend of us ordered Pad See Ew with spicy level 1, and it turned out to be more spicy than they expected. My hubby and I do love spicy food, but for people who prefer light spicy, it may be too much spice. read more

My date and I stopped in here for dinner on a recent week night. We got there kind of later in the evening (around 8 pm) and the place wasn't busy at all. We started with the crispy rolls which come with a chili dipping sauce. For dinner, I ordered the pumpkin curry. I forget what my date ordered, but the presentation (and taste) of his entree was top tier! The food was delicious and comforting and the service was just as great! I noticed a lot of people coming in for takeout orders, so takeout is an option if you don't feel like dining in. Overall, we had a great experience here and will definitely be back! read more

I was grossly overcharged for Mango Sticky Rice ($16.03) I called to order and was expecting what was on the website: "Mango Sticky Rice (Seasonal) $9.98 Steamed sticky rice with pea flower in coconut milk served with mango" When I went to pick it up I was told I owed $16.03... I confirmed my order & looked at the receipt. One order of Mango Sticky Rice was $14.98... I said the website says $9.98 & was completely ignored. I thought well at least it will be a large order as the picture on the website showed 2 piles of rice and a whole mango. And I was excited to try the pea flower rice. Then I opened the box... It was so small and not what was advertised at all. Go to Kiin Lao around the corner. Sticky rice is better & $7 for the same amount if not more. read more

One of my fav places for Thai food in Pittsburgh when you're craving that homey, garlicky Thai flavor. I've gotten takeout from them a couple times but also dined in. They have all the familiar Thai classics like pad thai and pad see ew and curries, and they deliver great flavor consistently. The restaurant is pretty clean and service is great! It's a super casual eatery. We randomly decided to get the mango sticky rice for dessert and it was actually so good. I don't normally like mangoes but the coconut milk with the sticky rice was so delicious. The colors were also so beautiful! read more

Went back here with a friend for lunch recently. We were the only ones there when we met at 12:30, so service was quick. They are offering 5% off if you pay with cash. I hadn't eaten here before (only takeout); decor is pretty spare and plain, with hard wood chairs. My friend enjoyed a fall/pumpkin curry, though it was a bit on the brothy side. Came with a giant mound of rice. I got the pad ses ew with tofu. It was quite saucy (more so than I remember from last time); the sauce was especially noticeable on the tofu, where it kind of oozed out. read more

Took Took 98 is a cute Thai place in Squirrel Hill. Very nice atmosphere. The servers we had were both pleasant and efficient. (Which let's be honest, sometimes you only get one or the other...) My friend and I got the Shrimp Pad Thai and the Tom Yum Soup. The Pad Thai was very sweet- to the point that it tasted one dimensional. I didn't get the combination of lime, peanut, spicy and sweet that usually make Pad Thai such a compelling dish. I asked for red pepper flakes and later more crushed peanuts, so once I added that and the lime juice it was better, but I was still disappointed. The Tom Yum soup was good. I'd like to go back to hopefully be proven wrong. We shall see. read more

I stopped by here yesterday with my wife for dinner. We found Took Took 98 whenever we were looking at restaurants in the squirrel hill area. After perusing their website we ended up placing a to go order at around 3:00 PM for a 4:45 PM pickup. Whenever we arrived to the restaurant at just after 4:50 PM our food was ready. I was in the restaurant for maybe 30 seconds since there was already somebody at the front counter. From what I saw of the restaurant it had some nice plants in the front window and the inside was filled with white tables and chairs with lots of lighter wood tones. The last thing that I noticed before I left was 4 giant squishmallows sitting at the back of the restaurant which I found humorous. For dinner on this evening I decided to go with the Pad Kee Mao, my wife went with the pad Thai and then we also ordered the spaghetti kiaw wan for our twins. The menu described my entree as Flat noodle, Lump egg, Basil leave, Fresh black pepper, Bamboo shoot, Rhizome and Garlic sauce and I chose chicken as my protein while my wife's was described as Rice noodle, Lump egg, Crispy tofu, Peanut, Scallion, Beansprout, Green bean and Tamarind sauce and she chose chicken as her protein. Finally our twins choice was described as Shrimp sauteed with broccoli in light brown gravy on top of wide rice noodles and the website asked us for a protein choice which was confusing. After we opened up our meals at home it was clear that the menu description for the spaghetti kiaw wan was not right. Then some research on the internet confirmed what I suspected when looking at it, that it was a green curry and so I ended up eating that and gave the twins the Pad Kee Mao. Even with that little bit of a fiasco, I have to admit that I enjoyed my meal. The green curry was both spicy and sweet with complex depth of flavor. That made all of the vegetables and the spaghetti enjoyable to eat in it. Then while I didn't have the pad kee Mao for dinner, I was able to taste it. I enjoyed it also as the wide noodle were fun and it had a great taste to it. There was a flavor in it which was pleasant that I don't think that I have had before which may have been the Rhizome. Last but not least my wife enjoyed her pad Thai although it was different than those that she is used to. Specifically she mentioned it having green beans which was surprising. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. While the menu snafu wasn't ideal, we did enjoy all of the food we had here. read more

I hate having to give a local restaurant a subpar review. I can tell the owner(?) cares about the restaurant. However the first red flag was where we were seated was on top of a vent that was blowing out air that smelled like old sewer. The second red flag was that the bathroom had no soap. But my biggest complaint is that the crispy "stuffed" wontons barely had ANY filling in them; maybe a teaspoon if that which was really disappointing as it was the only thing I ordered. And the dipping sauce wasn't really spicy or flavorful, just clear and sweet. The one thing that saved this place in my book was their lychee green tea with rainbow jellies bubble tea. It was very delicious. read more

When you're craving for some good southeast Asian food especially their Thai style ginger rice with ginger and chicken (Khao Mun Kai) . This is the closest I can find to my all time favorite Hainanese Chicken rice. Awesome food with fast service! Definitely check out their special bubble tea inspired drinks as well as their desserts! I would recommend Aun Chan Ma Now because it has become my new favorite. Its basically their twist on lemonade drink with Butterfly Pea Flower tea. read more

Best Thai in the city. I've tried a lot of Thai places in Pittsburgh, but this one beats them all. Any noodle dish I've had was outstanding, and the dumplings are always the best. Takeout and eating in are both great options. read more

*WOULD RECOMMEND* When you think of Thai food, you think of curry, pad thai, see ew, etc. Most Thai restaurants only offer these dishes but Took Took 98 offers a lot more authentic dishes that I have never seen before in other Thai restaurants. Yes they have the standard curry and rice noodle dishes, but they have Thai dishes that they actually eat in Thailand regularly like the Pad Kra Pow Moo (which was recommended to me by the waitress). I've also had their green curry and their tom yum noodle soup and they were all pretty good. And the price was very reasonable with the amount they give you, if anything on the cheaper side compared to other Thai restaurants in the area. *VERDICT* Yes, I would go back again and try their more authentic dishes and brunch items read more

This restaurant is very good and high quality. BUT We got the Pad Thai, one dish with 1/5 spice and one with 2/5. The waitress said 2/5 was medium. I eat Thai food pretty often, I love it, but maybe I've been only eating the Americanized version because these two dishes were SO SPICY. I acknowledge that people have different spice tolerances, but typically a medium is good for me... this level was so unexpected. Still good, I just could barely taste it. So, if you're like me and typically like small to medium amounts of spice.... Be warned, even the 1/5 was a lot. We also got the chive dumplings as an appetizer. I liked them, but they're very greasy. The beef jerky was good. The drinks were very large, some we liked more than others, but all decent. Would probably choose a different place next time, but it was enjoyable and worth a shot. read more

This place is so good; the portions are amazing for the price and the drinks are MASSIVE (you will not be able to finish them) The pad Thai was super creamy and different than any other Thai place I've ever had! When you order, they will ask you for your spice level out of 5 and the food is SO SPICY SO BE CAREFUL! I have a decent spice tolerance and said 3 and it was so spicy I couldn't eat it. Stay on the safer side and go for 0-2, but other than that the food is great! read more

Very authentic and delicious Thai food! I have to say they make the best Thai food I've had to date. Even better than popular Thai places I've eaten at in major cities. They let you customize the spice level on most dishes, which is nice for folks who don't like spice. I've been there multiple times and so far tried the Pad Kee Mao, Pad Thai, Tom Yum noodle soup, red curry, Tom kha soup, and the Thai iced milk tea. All delicious (although the Tom kha soup was a bit too sour for my preferences). The food is not always served the fastest because it's a smaller restaurant, but it's worth the wait. Highly recommend stopping by if you love spicy and/or Thai food. read more

Food was decent, we had the khao mun Kai chicken meal. The chicken was lightly breaded and tasty. Served with just a small amount of dipping sauce, ginger rice (ginger flavor was not overwhelming) and a melon soup. Thai tea was milky and went with 50% sugar so it wasn't too sweet. Overall cute spot. More Americanized Thai food but not bad! read more

I am dreaming of this Pad Thai. Oh man! I can't even describe how delicious. Ok, so my friend and I started with the salad rolls and the vegetable rolls. The salad rolls were served with the most delicious garlicky citrus aioli that I've ever had. I don't know how they did it, but the restaurant found a way to season raw vegetables so that each bite tasted intentionally fresh and flavorful. The vegetable rolls were fried to perfection with a crispy crunch. Now on to my Pad Thai. I asked for a 2 heat (on a scale of 1-5). I will admit that the 2 was pretty spicy (I will do 1 or none next time) so if you aren't into spice then make sure that you ask for none. The noodles were perfectly sauced. I added chicken to my dish and it was perfectly cooked and seasoned. *Sidenote* if you have a food allergy you need to let your waiter know so that they can modify the recipe. I didn't get a chance to try the drinks, but they have an extensive drink menu. The restaurant is cozy and small which was nice to sit in. However, the bathrooms are downstairs with no elevator. So if you or someone in your dinner party has difficulty walking up and down stairs you may want to consider takeout or using the restroom prior to eating. The staff were so kind and knowledgeable about the menu. read more

My friend and I wanted to try a new Thai place, and we landed on this place. Walking in, we were immediately seated down. Inside, there were high tables for a table for two and normal tables for larger parties, and they played a lot of trending music. The server also gave great recommendations for the food. From her recommendations, I got the Nam Sai Noodle Bowl with beef and a spice level of 1. The noodle soup felt so homey and something I'd crave on a rainy day. It was delicious with just the right kick of spice. My friend got one of the curries, which he really enjoyed! Overall, would come back to this place because of the inexpensive prices paired with the quality food. The food looked so good another one of my friends wanted to come try it out with me as well. I was all for it because how could I say no to good food. This time we ordered the Golden Tofu and Dumplings as appetizers. The Golden Tofu was pretty good and was paired with a dipping sauce with nuts on it. The dipping sauce was really great, I've never had anything like it. However, the Dumplings were disappointing. There was barely any for the price, and they looked like they had been re-frozen and re-boiled. The skin was falling off when I picked it up with my chopsticks, and they tasted bland as well. I then ordered the Took Took Noodle with beef and a spice level of 1 from the seasonal Blooming Menu, available only from April to June. This noodle soup also had me feeling at home and was very good as well. It had more of a garlic flavor, which was also really good. My friend got the Tom Yum Noodle Soup, and he loved it as well. I would definitely come back to this place when I'm craving some noodle soup but keep in mind to avoid the dumpling appetizer. I would still recommend this place though! read more

Very good Thai food all around; probably some of the best Thai in Pittsburgh and one of the top restaurants in the area. Tonight, I tried their pad see ew with vegetables and the volcano roti. Both were excellent. The pad see ew was saucy...finally! A place that is liberal with the sauce almost always satisfies me. Here, this sauce is flavorful and has the right balance of sweet to saltiness. It's got just a hint of spice, even when you order a 0 on the spice scale. These noodles are thick and chewy, as they should be. The dish isn't too oily and has a nice portion for the price. Keep in mind when they say they make Thai street food, the portions are still going to be plentiful. My only qualm with their pad see ew (and most of their entrees, for that matter) is that they up-charge you for every protein. Not just shrimp, mixed meat, seafood, beef, pork, but also for chicken and even tofu. So, the price can quickly add up, but it's still fairly reasonable. They are definitely liberal with the vegetables, too, and they give a nice variety. There's Chinese broccoli (gailan), corn, green beans, and other vegetables. To me, they were a bit undercooked. I also personally prefer more noodles than protein or vegetables so the ratio was a bit skewed in my opinion, but for most people, this should be a plus. The volcano roti definitely blew me away. Easily a five star dessert which would be even better a la mode. The crispy roti with the delicious chocolate roti on top is alone incredible, and not overly sweet. The texture is perfect too. But then you add the condensed milk on top, and it knocks your socks off. All in all, this is a great little Thai spot with what seems to be a charming atmosphere. The food is cheap for the portion, but you do have to pay extra for any protein. The volcano roti is insanely good though! read more

I've had Pad Thai at so many places in NYC and I guarantee Took Took's Pad Thai is one of the best ones I've had.

Other dishes are also amazing. A Thai hidden gem in Pittsburgh! read more

I tried their pad kee mao with pork, with extra tofu and veggies. This was perfection! I don't think I can order pad kee mao any other way now. The pork was tender, likely tenderized with baking soda. It also came with a side of salad for lunch. I placed an order on their website before they opened and it arrived promptly. Their free delivery with $15 order is fantastic! read more
