When I'm feeling so lazy that I don't want to leave Shadyside (i.e., the entire freaking winter) yet I want Thai food, Thai Place is the only option.  Their Pad Thai is merely so-so, but their curries (especially the panang) are delicately spiced and flavorful.  Unfortunately, the prices are high and the portions are not very generous.  There's better Thai in Pittsburgh, just not in Shadyside.
