Charm Thai Pgh is one of the ghost kitchens that operate inside of The Mill Food Co. We started with the crab rangoon and chive pancake. Both were delish and we found ourselves oohing and aahing over the chive pancake. The texture was pleasing and flavor was amazing. Next we had the fried rice and chicken and pad thai. Holy smokes, the pad thai was pure joy, one of the best I’ve ever had. Rasa shared that the noodles are freshly sourced and delivered daily. There was love in that bowl. We ended our meal with custard w/butterfly pea sticky rice and roti banana Nutella. So yummy! We took our hot pots home for dinner. They reheated beautifully at home and were chock full of noodles, chicken, veggies and flavor. The food was ! I would highly recommend Charm Thai! Additional Info: You can order online and pick up inside the Mill Food Co. Also, you can order online and have it delivered. We chose to visit the Mill Food Co. in person, use the kiosk in the entry and wait for our food. We saw many delivery people and customers come in to pick up orders while we waited. There are benches to sit on while waiting. When our order was ready, we received a text notification. Next, we scanned it at the service desk and the locker opened for us to retrieve our food. There are no tables there. My friend brilliantly suggested that we to go to the Strip (8 minutes away) and sit in the communal area at Novo Asian Food Hall (entrance 20) at the terminal. She called first to make sure it was okay. We were able to enjoy our food piping hot.

Amazing New Take-Out Thai Restaurant! I recently tried this new Thai take-out spot, and it was such a great find! I ordered the Thai Papaya Salad (Som Tum), Fried Chicken, Rangoon and Chicken Ginger Rice (Khao Man Gai). Everything was so fresh and flavorful—it tasted just like authentic Thai food. The portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality. I also grabbed the Blue Coconut smoothie, and it was perfectly blended, super refreshing, and had a unique twist. I’ll definitely be ordering from here again. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for real Thai flavors to enjoy at home!

I'm Thai, born and raised. This place is the most delicious and authentic Thai food I've tried in Pittsburgh! Also, the quality is far exceeded the price!! The owner, which is also the chef, is really kind and nice. It is so good that I forgot to take pictures first! Btw, if you can't find the place, just called, they answer really fast.

My new favorite Thai place in Pittsburgh - Ordered three days in a row! Must try their Thai hot pot, mango sticky rice, chicken and ginger rice, fried chicken, fried wings, and blue coconut smoothie. The blue butterfly pea flower in the rice and smoothie is so pretty. All the sauces are also amazing.

I love Thai Fried Rice and I thought I knew of all the best Thai takeout spots, but I was wrong!! I was invited to try Charm Thai and it was delicious!! The food was so fresh and flavorful We ordered: Featured here: Charm Street Kra Pow Pad Se Ew Basil Fried Rice Purple Sweet Potato Tempura Thai Iced Tea Butterfly Pea w Honey Lemon Ginger Tea Roti Banana Nutella I absolutely loved my fried rice! The Roti Banana Nutella dessert was so gooood oh my god get that when you order from there!! One thing that I love is that they are open really late. A lot of places in the city close at like 8 or 9 pm, but Charm Thai is open till midnight They do not have in-house dining, just takeout or delivery!
