So excited to have a Thai place so close! We've already been here twice and love it. Everything we've tried so far has been delicious - we especially love the crispy spring rolls, the Thai fried rice, and the pad see ew. Big bonus that it's BYOB. The French pastries for dessert are really good too!

The chicken noodle dish I had was good! The service was also good, they were very friendly. I love the new decor in the restaurant ,I love how they uncovered all the windows to let the light in, the previous place had them covered with curtains. It is BYOB I would definitely go back!

I've been twice and have been impressed both times. Pumpkin Curry was about the best Thai I've had in Pittsburgh. Pad See Ew, Pad Thai, Chiang Mai Laab were all solid as well. The French pastry dessert I had was fab with an over-the-top presentation. This place is a gem in an otherwise culinary desert.

Finally a great Thai restaurant in Shaler. I've had takeout and also dined on site and was very satisfied every time. Pineapple and pumpkin curry are awesome! I would definitely recommend. Service was excellent and takeout orders are available on a timely basis. I love that it is also a BYOB.

Very delicious. I had the pumpkin curry and I couldn't be more satisfied. The staff if very nice as well! Cash only but they have an ATM.

Visited seven months after our original trip and I am happy to report that we were pleasantly surprised! Hooray! The menu has been updated and increased with everyone's favorites. We got take-out and found the portions to be enormous. Everything was totally delicious! We will certainly be back. FYI - cash only.

Delicious, clean, inviting, and peaceful spot to stop to just relax and take in some tea. Each Room is decorated differently and you'll find visual surprises around every corner. Outside patios and special tables for two for that one of a kind romantic dinner. Staff was over the top kind, and helpful! The food is fresh and absolutely delicious! It's about time we had a great thai place near here! Thanks again!

This place is delicious! The chicken pad Thai is great. I'm a die hard Noodlehead fan, but I will drive out here again for this. So good! Just a heads up that they are cash only, but they do have an ATM.
I am so happy we decided to try this place. We ordered the crab rangoon for an appetizer. It was delicious. Cooked perfectly. I ordered chicken pineapple stir fry with cashews. It was definitely worth going back. Everything was cooked fast and tasted delicious! Service was great too, very friendly.

Yes! Yes! Yes! A real-life non-bar, non-diner, non-fast food restaurant in Glenshaw. If only this were a more regular occurrence in our little piece of suburbia. Le Thai Cafe has been open less than a month. It was the former Cafe Venice. The new owners completely transformed the space from tacky italian to rustic chic! The prices are fair with stir fried noodle dishes starting at $9 with no protein and $13 if you'd like chicken, tofu, beef or shrimp. They also have a selection of Thai salads, fried rice, noodle soups, as well as appetizers. We ordered each of the 4 appetizers on the menu and enjoyed them all. The appetizers are Crispy Spring Rolls, Fresh Rolls, Chicken Satay, and Moo Yang (Thai bbq pork skewers). Portions were reasonable and each app cost $5-$7. Another perk of this place. Thai Iced Tea and Thai Iced Coffee! These are go-to beverages when we visit our other thai-favorite Pusadee's, so we were excited to see them on the menu here as well. Better yet, they were only $2 a glass! The restaurant is also BYOB for those who'd like to have some wine. For dinner, I ordered the Pad See Ew with chicken, a stir fried noodle dish with wide noodles, eggs, broccoli and carrots. The portion was large enough that I took about half of it home for lunch the next day. It was full of flavor and the vegetables weren't overdone and still had great crunch. I found that getting the spice at a #3 was just enough for me. There were 7 of us dining that night and our bill was only $160, which is a super reasonable, especially since that includes multiple appetizers and a few thai iced teas and coffees. The only complaint, which isn't really a complaint, was that since they are newly opened, they are still trying to figure out the system that works best for them. Service was a little slow, but the owner of the restaurant recognized this and apologized twice throughout our dinner, telling us that it will get better as they get their bearings. We can't wait to come back again and hope to become regulars here. Three cheers to Le Thai Cafe!

Pretty great Thai food. Cash only, BYOB. Friendly service with a great atmosphere. There was a bit of confusion with the reservation and slightly slow service, but it was also pretty busy, so that's understandable. We got the fresh rolls appetizer, which was a good portion and very fresh. Followed it with curries and a couple other entree dishes. All were very good in taste and portion. While it wasn't the best Thai I've ever had, it was in my top ten. Maybe slightly overpriced, but the BYOB helps and corking fee was only $3. We will definitely be back!

First, it's 2015 and they don't take cards? Seriously? So you have to get cash from their handy ATM, adding about $5 to the cost of your meal. Service Was very slow, made all the worse by the fact that the place was unbearably hot. When the food finally came...to be kind, I will call it mediocre. There is MUCH better Thai to be had, even in the north hills.

The food is wonderful, but dining in leaves a lot to be desired. After being open for months the retardant still only accepts cash, which is a deterrent to eating there. There is no air conditioning in the restaurant! We sweat our way through dinner which was extremely uncomfortable. It is really a shame since the food is so good. We will only be getting take out from there from now on when we are craving good Thai

I was super excited for Le Thai Cafe to open(since I work next door). I tried the beef pad see ew for dinner last night, and ordered the spicy green beans with chicken for lunch today. The food is delicious! I will normally drive all over town to go to the various good Thai spots, but now I don't have to! They also have in house made French pastries that look amazing, can't wait to try those! I definitely recommend giving them a try!

This is some of the best Thai food in Pittsburgh. Everything is extremely fresh and flavorful, and the staff is great. I have had 4 different appetizers and 6 entrees, and was thrilled with them all. If you like Thai food, then you will want to give this place a try.

Been there twice. The food was great. The ambiance was great. The help was warm and friendly. We plan to return on a regular basis. The details: For appetizers, we tried the Crispy Spring Rolls on our first visit and the Chicken Satay on our second. Both were delicious and the ingredients were 100% fresh. So far we've tried the Pad Thai (with chicken), the Pumpkin Curry (with grilled chicken), and the Pad Kraw Paw. Once again, the ingredients were fresh and the flavors were distinct and pleasing. Tried one of their homemade chocolate french pastrries and it went down well. VERY reasonably priced. BYOB is an additional savings. Has gotten popular quickly. I suggest you make reservations.

Been here a few times during a weekday lunch. Comfortable even with a 2 year old - she liked the pad thai noodles. Great service. Also got the dessert plate once - I was thinking it would be a muffin from the bakery on a plate. Instead it was beautiful and delicious.

It looks like they recently expanded to a full menu. I got the pumpkin chicken curry for the first time and was blown away. Everyone in my family loved it, too. I can't wait to stop by again. Also, the decor a beautiful.

The food is good, the service is even better. When I sent 80% of my dinner (green curry) in to be boxed up to take home, one of the women (owner?) came out to check if my meal was okay, and why I had not devoured it. I reassured her that it was good, I was just truly full from a late lunch. She then proceeded to bring out two free drinks (milky green tea- delish!). That kind of concern and service isn't seen all the time and was appreciated!

Ordered take out from here on a Friday. My fiance has eaten here a few times since opening (5 minutes away from our house!) and has been raving about it. Since I am usually a Nicky's fan for Thai food in the city, I was skeptical. I had the basic chicken Pad Thai with a 5 on the spice scale. It was VERY good and they gave us SO much food it took two days for us to eat it! While it is a bit pricy for some items on the menu, I was impressed with how good the pad thai was, so for me it was worth the $20+ dollars we spent for 2 take out entrees. The 5 was spicy for me, and just on the verge of being a little too spicy, but it was really delicious and not an overwhelming heat at all. Will definitely be visiting again and Im so glad its right down the street!

Like the other reviewer, we were so pumped to see a new restaurant opening in Glenshaw. We've been saying for years that we were in need of some good, local choices. Then to find out it was going to be Thai...we were just super thrilled! The restaurant opened 2 weeks ago and we've already been there twice. The décor is really nice. I should say FAR better than the previous owners, and the service is OK. I'm sure once they work out the kinks, they'll be just fine. But the food is pretty darn great! We haven't disliked anything we've tried so far. Don't hesitate to try as much of the Curry dishes as possible. The green curry (or Keaw Wan) and the Pumpkin Curry were SUPER and we're looking forward to trying the Yellow Curry next. We also had the Kanom Jeen Nam Ngiao, which is a curry with pork, tomatoes and rice noodles, pickled mustard greens, bean sprouts and fresh lime, the Spring Rolls and the Pork Moo Yang appetizers, and finally, the Beef Pad Kra Prow, with green beans and peppers sauteed in a dark basil sauce, topped with a fried egg, served with jasmine rice. The flavors have so much depth and we're very excited to see how they are going to expand the menu offerings. Go try this place!!! Note: They currently only take cash, but there's an ATM, so you're safe!

I was really pleased to recently discover a non-dive bar takeout place near my family's home in the north hills. It's slim pickings there for dining out! I was staying with my youngest siblings for a week while my mother was out of town, and one day I ordered us all some takeout from Le Thai Café so they could get a taste of Thai food. We chose some Thai fried rice as well as Pad Thai, both with chicken. I ordered over the phone and had everything picked up within ten minutes. The interior was clean and cute, and the service was friendly. I would definitely come back and eat-in if I was ever in the neighborhood for an extended period of time again. The fried rice had a higher spice level than expected, but it was delicious nonetheless. The Pad Thai was incredible honestly! The sauce had a savory undertone that was addicting...I haven't tasted any other version of the dish quite like it in a while. Usually Pad Thai is way too sweet. Both portions were generous and lasted for at least two meals. I will get takeout again from here at any rate, even if I'm just stopping by for a quick visit to my family.
