I must preface this review by saying that this is the only time I visited Nicky's Thai Kitchen (or Pittsburgh for that matter), so it could just be a fluke - maybe the chef had a bad day - but this is the second worst Thai food I've had anywhere in the world...  The worst was in Aruba. \n\nI'm a fan of Thai food as you can tell - craving it even when on vacation in Aruba - so I have a certain expectation when I saw the 4-star ratings for this restaurant.  But wasn't I disappointed!  We ordered Drunken Noodles and Panang Curry, both with beef, and spicy.  Typical Thai dish right? Wrong.  What we got are two tasteless dishes.  The Drunken Noodles dish is not just bland and way too mild, but both the veggie and meat tasted stale.  The Panang Curry was equally unimpressive. The color of the broth may be right, but there is only a hint of curry taste in it.  The meat was chewy to the point that I gave up on most of it.  As hungry as we were after a long day of driving, you would think that we would find anything tasty.  But unfortunately for us, we threw away at least half of it and had to look for a second dinner.\n\nI don't know, maybe the chef just isn't very good at the common dishes.  Not sure if I'll have a chance to give it another try, though.
