Thai Touch Kitchen

Small diner like place. Awesome Panang Curry! They can bring the heat baby!!! Love love! Kicking this cold right out of my head!!! Just as an (FYI) I love Nicky’s Thai. I will however come here more often for the Panang Curry! Moving forward for them glass plates and lower lighting would be a plus!

Great little Thai Spot in a cool neighborhood. Small, but authentic. BYOB, great service and delicious Pad Thai. Also, the dumplings are AMAZING.

I have ordered from Thai Touch multiple times now. They are the sole Thai restaurant in Pittsburgh serving Kao Soy, one of my favorite dishes. Food items have been well prepared and in ample quantity. Spicing is well suited to the various dishes and can be tempered based on a diner’s preference. The Thom Kha soup is fresh, has a nice amount of lemongrass and coconut milk, and is the perfect dish for the cold weather in Pittsburgh. Happy to have this new restaurant in our community.

I had a craving for Thai food on a Sunday afternoon and Thai Touch Kitchen was one of the only Thai restaurants open in my area.
My boyfriend and I decided to give it a try for lunch. On weekends all of their entrees are only available in the dinner size so my boyfriend and I decided to order two appetizers and share an entrée.
For appetizers, we ordered the clear spring rolls which resembled Vietnamese Spring Rolls without meat and was accompanied with a small side of peanut dipping sauce. The spring rolls were surprisingly bland and tasted a lot like a romaine salad wrapped in rice paper. We saw a yummy looking picture on Unilocal of the Tom Yum soup with shrimp and ordered that as our second appetizer. I could not eat the soup. it tasted entirely too fishy for mine and my boyfriend’s tastes. Big disappointment because it looked so appetizing.
For our appetizers we shared the green curry at a spice level of 7. I liked the concept of having a spice level but I quickly found out that only determined how many red pepper flakes they sprinkled over your dish. The green curry was very watery and no where near as thick as the curries that I am used to.
Definitely not the best Thai food I’ve eve had.

I am disappointed to say this place has gone down hill. All the staff that made the place special quit. I hope they make corrections because what was a great Thai place is now mediocre.

The personnel were very friendly, and the environment is cozy but comfortable. The food was extremely good, and was authentic as you could get for the area. We will definitely be returning!

The inside of the building isn’t very impressive, but it is a cute, intimate place. I got crab rangoons, which were cold on the inside but still pretty good, fantastic ginger tea and panang curry at spice level 2. The curry was the perfect spice level for me, although it was a little watery. their curries are very thin for some reason. On my second visit, i got tom kha noodle soup, which pales in comparison to other tom kha soups i’ve had. the fried tofu was delicious on the outside, but the inside was bitter and sour tasting. i would come here again now that i know what to get. a great little place if you’re in uptown, although if you have the choice, nicky’s is the way to go.

I wanted this place to shine, but I was disappointed. It’s a small place, not cramped though. The fire department sign on the wall says the max occupancy is 22! They do have a few tables outside on the sidewalk.
Crab rangoons were ok, the wrapper was a little too thick.
Green curry ($ 13.00)
had the right amount of spice. I ordered a 7 and it was good and hot! The curry itself was watery, there were large chunks of eggplant and some weren’t cooked through. (No one likes raw eggplant). The pounded flat chicken was very dry and bland. There were a few pieces of broccoli and some green beans.
The pad Thai was just boring, it needed some fresh green onions or something to liven it up.
I so wanted this place to be good.

I’m always curious to try new Thai restaurants, so I stopped in here recently for lunch. The space is on the smaller side, but it doesn’t feel cramped at all, it’s clean, and the décor is lovely. Everyone working there was friendly and very pleasant — I got the impression that they genuinely enjoyed what they were doing, which translated into the restaurant having a very welcoming feel to it.
I was feeling somewhat indecisive while I was there so I ordered two things — the green tea leaves salad (on special) and a mango curry. I usually don’t drink much green tea because it gets a bitter taste if it’s steeped too long, but eating this reminded me of how nice the flavor of it is. Actually, this is probably my new favorite way of having anything with green tea or green tea flavoring in it, ever. I would have never thought of putting tea leaves on a salad to eat, but it’s absolutely delicious. The salad is a fairly sizeable portion — it contains greens, the green tea leaves, mixed nuts, tomatoes, carrots and lemon juice on top. The greens were more iceburg lettuce than darker ones, but the addition of the tea leaves made it feel balanced. I don’t even really like nuts or tomatoes much, but they provided just the right amount of crunch and softness to the salad, respectively. Since everything has lemon juice on it the salad itself doesn’t appear quite firm — visually it’s not the most exciting, but it tastes so wonderful.
The mango curry had slices of mango, green and red peppers, red curry powder, coconut milk and your choice of protein. I was expecting there to be a stronger mango flavor while biting into the slices of it. The curry itself wasn’t bad, but it didn’t have much of a particular flavor overall to it, and it was a bit more liquid-​y than curries I’ve had elsewhere. I’m not sure if the thickness of them varies more in Thailand, but personally I prefer them to not be so thin. As far as the spice level goes, I ordered a 4 — I can handle some spice but not an exorbitant amount, and this worked just fine for me. Again, this was a decent curry, everything was well cooked and fresh, but I think I would have enjoyed it more had the liquid been thicker, with a bit more flavor. Since I enjoyed the other part of my order so much though, I would definitely come here again and try things other than their curries.
The price was slightly more than where I usually get Thai food from (in Bloomfield), but considering that the cost of living is a lot higher in Mt. Lebanon the price seems perfectly fine for the area. The portion sizes were decent (I had plenty for leftovers!), so I was still pleased with the amount of food I received for the price.

I was here recently for lunch and got the Pad Kee Mao, it was excellent! Server was very nice and helpful and the food came out without much wait. I will definitely be eating here many more times in the future!

After recently having my first Thai experience at Nicky’s in the Northside, my expectations were extremely high! I was pleasantly surprised to learn of new Thai Touch in Mt. Lebo, minutes from my house. Ordered takeout crab rangoon, pad Thai, and spicy chicken fried rice. The food was ready on time and I was greeted by friendly employees in clean restaurant. The food was not quite as amazing as Nicky’s and the prices were a bit higher, but would order again for the convenience.

I’m not one to consume extremely spicy foods, so when I arrived at the Thai Touch Kitchen, I was pleased to discover there is a spicy scale! Being new to Thai food, I decided to go with a spicy level of two. The extremely nice waiter smiled and nodded as if he knew my tolerance for spicy food was limited.
Located in Uptown Mt. Lebanon, Thai Touch is a wonderful restaurant that I will continue to enjoy. The small, charming restaurant seats about 20 to 25. It has an open kitchen and a fun, welcoming atmosphere. The service is great and really makes the experience all the more pleasant.
I ordered the dumplings for a starter, which were flavorful and the perfect start to the meal. I also ordered the shrimp pad thai with a spicy level of two and thoroughly enjoyed it! There was a lot on the plate, and the flavors were present in each bite. The shrimp was perfectly cooked and blended in with the flavors. I would definitely order the pad thai again.
I plan on bringing friends and the boyfriend here for dinner! I also discovered that Thai Touch has takeout, so my summer nights just got a whole lot better.

This food is delicious! We haven’t had a bad thing from here and the staff is wonderful! You can’t go wrong eating here!!!

Drove right pass this place on the way there. You’ll miss it if you blink. Everything was great from the crab rangoon, pad thai, thai tea, and service. Prices are fair, especially for being in Mt Lebanon

Went back again and it was just add good as the first time. We were lucky that there was a table available since it started getting busy toward the end of our meal. I got a cashew noodle dish which was wonderful. Fiancé got his pineapple fried rice which he loved as well. This place is definitely in our evening rotation.

Located where the also-​excellent Couscous Café used to be, Thai Touch is a terrific surprise and great addition to Uptown Mt. Lebanon. Quaint, clean, with an open kitchen and friendly staff, this place has become a new lunch favorite.
Got the steamed dumplings and green curry with noodles on first visit. The curry was light and piping hot — we’re talking *molten* hot, right out of the pot — so heads up. Was stuffed up with a cold, and so I ordered the curry with a spiciness of 7 on a 1 – 10 scale. Cleared my sinuses and then some! Second visit I got the basil chicken. Both dishes were light, spicy, and tasted fresh. Eager to go back for dinner.

Nice people and a nice little place. Food was on the bland side to me though.

Don’t blink or you’ll miss this brand new Thai offering on Rt 19, Mt Lebanon! Just a few doors up from Potomac Bakery on the same side.
Very intimate with seating for about 20.
HEAT– start light and gauge your heat for your return visit. I did 5. My palate isn’t as heat tolerant as it used to be, but I could have done a 7… if that helps!

My wife and I ran into this gem tonight for a date night dinner. Love the flavors. Really good Thai food. We had the pad se-​ew and penang curry. Both were delish! In terms of spicyness, we usually get 7 or 8 and we tried 8. It was hot so we might do 7 in the future. Anyways. Tasty food. Very friendly service

Sweet Potato Appetizers are fantastic! It was open on Monday, and I stopped in. The make a wonderful iced Thai Tea with cream. I will make it a point to go again and this time, I’ll make reservations because I know I’ll need to!
