The food's pretty bland. First time I went there, I asked for my curry to be \""Thai hot\"" (meaning make it like you're making it for someone Thai, not watered down for American palettes). There was no heat.\n\nNext time I went, I told the waitress that last time I ordered, I said \""Thai hot\"" and got bland. She seemed surprised and well, maybe the last waiter just didn't hear me? Ok, so, just in case the last waiter didn't hear me and they actually do know how to do something other than bland, I told her an 8 out of 10 on the spice scale. Yeah, no. I poured in some chili powder and ate it. \n\nI usually order medium spice at my local Thai place in Maryland. Nicky's hottest setting is like eating ramen noodles by comparison.\n\nIf this is the best Thai food in Pittsburgh, I'm really glad I don't live in this city anymore, because clearly Pittsburgh doesn't know Thai.
