 I prefer Lemongrass in Squirrel Hill to Thai Place and
 Thai Garden.  My favorite dish is their Musamun Curry.
 I haven't tried the Thai dishes at Pnom Penh
 but their Cambodian specialties are very good.  I'm not
 at all fond of Spice Island Teahouse but I haven't tried
 their Thai dishes so perhaps they are better than the
 other things I've tried.  But I doubt it.

 I refuse to go to Thai Place anymore.  I've been there several times
 and never had an authentic-tasting meal (esp with regards to the soups
 and the *-with-basil dishes, which are classics).  In addition, the
 service has often been horrible.  Phnom Penh (Cambodian) does good
 green curry and serves each meal with an excellent spring roll&soup
 combo.

 I think people are confusing Thai Place with Thai Garden.  TP is in
 shadyside, TG is in oakland.

 the first time i went to thai place was sometime during the spring of 1995.
 the last time was this january.  there has been high variability in the
 quality of the meals and service i have received there, but during the past
 year, it has been uniformly less than acceptable.
