Dancing Crab Thai Noodle House

Don't just order takeout, dine in at the Dancing Crab! The street view might fool you into thinking this is just some ho-hum mediocre spot - but it's actually fantastic. The food: WAY better than Nikki's Thai for example and the prices are often better too. Chef's specials are carefully prepared and unique, while the regular price menu is also high quality and reliability delicious. Best crab rangoon I've had in Pittsburgh for example, but you should go off the beaten path and try something new too. Tom Kha soup is an explosion of flavor, and I don't even like soup that much. The kitchen staff really knows their craft. The Service: everyone is so friendly and accommodating (especially Arm:Aoisak). They'll bend over backwards for you, adding little flourishes and taking good care. The Atmosphere: peak in the window and you'll see that it's a cozy spot with little touches of class and flair, especially in the back room. Grab a seat, a glass of wine, and try a dish you've never tried. You won't regret it! There's never a wait to get in when I go, half the time it's near empty, and I still can't fathom why.

It's wonderful to have such a good Thai restaurant on the South Side. Adisak welcomed us in such a warm way, and from then on, service was excellent. All in our party of four were happy with our food choices and have vowed to return one day so we can try other items on the menu.

I didn’t get any crab at Dancing Crab Thai Noodle House but that didn’t prevent me from enjoying every bit of the food here. I’ve had dancing crab plenty of times on Uber Eats and got the same thing every time. Spicy Basil Fried Rice + egg rolls. I decided to dine in today, staying to my roots. I’ve tried many spicy Basil fried rice dishes across Pittsburgh and I’ll say that dancing crab arguably has the most flavorful as of today. It was especially tasty today (fresh out the kitchen, no delivery lag) and the portions were great. The pad Thai was good but there is arguably better in the city. It’s tasty but just a tad bit too liquidly for my liking. What is really making me give this place 5 stars is the thai style fried rice. After having it at other Thai places and seeing how bland it can be, I was surprised after trying my friend’s Thai fried rice with beef how much flavor it had. It was distinctively different from my spicy Basil, but had a unique flavor profile that’s worth revisiting. I’m glad I was able to dine in today. My true rating is about a 4.4-4.5/5 but will give the 5 stars all things considered.

This place is great! Excellent service. Basil fried rice is nicely done. Thai iced tea

I ordered the seafood Koa Soy. I told my server that I love spice, and he gave me some chili on the side to add as much as I liked. I ended up putting all of what he gave me into it, and I cannot stress enough how much it added to an already-excellent dish. Good spicy food is flavorful, and is not overpowered by the heat — that’s exactly what Dancing Crab accomplishes with their menu. I recommend their Koa Soy to anyone. After the meal, I enjoyed a refreshing Thai iced tea. Also good, wonderful to have after a savory meal. All in all, I look forward to exploring the rest of what they have to offer. I came at a very quiet hour, so the place was rather empty. I’m sure it has more activity later on, which you may or may not prefer. I like being around people when I am out, so I may try to stop by when the sun goes down instead of in the early evening.

This is one of the best Thai meals I’ve had in the city. I got the yellow chicken curry spice level 2 (I’m a baby) and had some steamed dumplings for an appetizer. Both were full of flavor. The service was attentive and friendly, and brought our meals not long after we ordered them.my partner got the Katsu and pineapple fried rice, which were both very good. Will be going back!

Dancing Crab will surely make your taste buds dance and chase away the crabbiness of being hangry! Best Thai food around and is well worth their higher prices! The environment is cozy and relaxing, clean, and the staff are professional to the Tee! Hands down Top 5 best restaurant in South Side and even the city itself! Dance on in to a delightful dining experience!

Delicious food, great atmosphere, and wonderful service. I came here with a group of friends and everyone loved what they ordered. I got the pumpkin curry with tofu and it was absolutely amazing (I highly recommend trying this dish).
