text: I have only been here once because I quickly found many other Thai restaurants in the East End with better service and much better (and better priced) food. My husband and I stopped by one Sunday after a little shopping when we were relatively new to Pittsburgh. It took a while for us to be seated, and there were maybe three or four tables filled with people in the entire restaurant.\n\nBecause it was our first time at this restaurant, and because we hadn't asked for advice from friends before coming, we went with the basics: pad kee mao with chicken. I hesitate to order my favorite Thai dish, red curry, anywhere before reading reviews about it first. I absolutely hate eating mediocre red curry. It just shouldn't happen. Anyway, the pad kee mao was fine. It was on the lukewarm side, and I tasted more grease than spice. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't very good either. I took half of it home and never got around to eating the leftovers.\n\nBecause there are so many delicious Thai restaurants in the East End, I don't know how Thai Place is still open and doing decent business. The only reason it is still open has to be that it's located right smack in the middle of all the Walnut Street retail madness. They probably cater to a lot of shoppers who need a quick bite to eat while shopping.\n\nAgain, this place isn't terrible, it's just not the best.
