In search of a new favorite Thai spot? Hoodline crunched the numbers to find the top restaurants around Pittsburgh. We used both Yelp data and our own secret sauce to produce this ranked list of the best places for everything from curry dishes and deep-fried tofu to pork ribs and Thai beer.

1. Nicky's Thai Kitchen-Downtown

Topping the list is Nicky's Thai Kitchen. Located at 903 Penn Ave. downtown, it's the highest rated Thai restaurant in Pittsburgh, boasting four stars out of 551 reviews on Yelp.

On the menu, start off with Thai toasts with marinated ground pork or chicken satay. Entrees include a variety of curry dishes, including pumpkin curry, crispy tilapia stir-fried with vegetables and basil, and deep-fried tofu with tamarind. Though this branch has a bar serving wine, sake and Thai beer, customers are welcome to bring their own alcoholic beverages.

On the North Side? The restaurant's second location at 856 Western Ave. is another popular destination, earning four stars out of 375 reviews on Yelp. Look for similar menu options minus the bar.
