I'll bump this up just because I eat at Thai Place http://www.thaiplacepgh.com/ all the time and do think it stands up well to most comparison, even if I can't personally compare it to that many others in town. We're regulars at the Wexford location (they recognize us now ;-) although from what I hear they pride themselves on the food being consistent at all 4. The far north suburbs still pretty much sucks for choices like this, so having Thai Place nearby is a huge bonus. (We actually live near Cranberry but in Beaver County, heh.
)Pad thai is very good, or the one I remember when I ate in Shadyside several years ago and tried again recently and was still great is the tiger prawns.
Went searching and found people somewhat down on Shadyside and/or Oakland Thai Place locations so I don't know. Maybe my standards are low because of the lack of places out here, or just low in general. ;-) Or maybe they're concentrating out here because it's the newest, has pricey rent in a newer strip mall and they have to make that work. Beats me. I think it's good. YMMV.

Though neither are strictly Thai I would have to say Spice Islands Tea House in Oakland and Bangkok Balcony in Shadyside . My favorites – ginger salad (shredded cabbage, lettuce, peanuts, soybeans, fried garlic and ginger, tamarind in a vinegar fish sauce) I could eat it every day. I also like their bean sprouts with basil. Some of others are the Lat Toke and Night Market Noodle.
Bangkok Balcony has quite a large menu some more Thai then the rest. I’ve not tried a noodle dish there that I didn’t like - the Thai spaghetti with green curry is my favorite, however the noodle dishes are not the best choice for take out as they tend to become stuck together.
