I am consistently amazed by how good the food is in Pittsburgh. The Silk Elephant is my second culinary foray into Pittsburgh, and I really enjoyed my experience here.\n\nThe decor is modern, but Thai inspired. Most of the wait staff is Caucasian, but I did see some Asian people in the kitchen, so I feel like that at least makes it mildly authentic.\n\nBF and I had:\n1. Tom Yum soup - yummy! \n2. Mango Salad - also yummy\n3. Lamb chops - excellent, as long as you like thyme.\n4. Salmon rolls - probably our favorite\n5. crab crowns - eh. tasty, but more for the fried cream cheese in wonton concept, rather than due to any crab meat in the dish per se\n6. Some dumpling - can't remember, reminds me of siu mai from dim sum. It was good, but nothing extraordinary\n7. Siam Paragon - save your money with this one. It's not that great.\n\nOverall, a great experience. The server was very attentive and nice. A lovely place to go on a date.
