"I had a hard time deciding between ordering food from the Silk Elephant or Kiin Lao, but ultimately I went with the latter because of their unique Lao roots. I tried some of the food from the Bangkok Balcony menu, including the Pad Thai with tofu(spice level 0) and Thai custard with coconut sticky rice. This is without a doubt one of the best Pad Thai's I've had inPittsburgh. The portion is huge, especially comparing it to some of the places I've tried in Edgewood. Probably enough for 2meals for most people. There was more than plenty of tofu in this pad Thai, but you did have to pay extra for it and the priceis a bit on the high side (depending on which online ordering platform you use). There were loads of peanuts in here, and youcould actually taste them and feel their crunch (unlike in many other places). You can also taste and see the egg, which Ireally enjoyed. Plus the bean sprouts were so fresh and crispy, and the food was still hot when it arrived to my house. Theirsauce is flavorful and delicious. The Pad Thai isn't saucy but not dry either. More generous with sauce than some Thai spots,but I'd still want a little more (I love saucy Pad Thai). Then, I tried their Thai custard. It was very tasty. Also, it had anunique and visually appealing color scheme: black rice with green custard. The rice was sticky (as it should be) and the custardwas sweet and comforting. I love how they served the coconut milk on the side! I drank some of it before pouring it over thecustard, and wow, it's fantastic. A touch of saltiness, some sweetness, creamy, and just amazing. Great final touch to thisdish. All in all, I would definitely recommend Kiin Lao/Bangkok Balcony for their Thai food, and their Lao food soundsincredible as well. The Pad Thai was served in a huge portion and it was delicious. The Thai custard was also excellent."
