We drove by and we noticed some huge window display for the lunch special for $7.99 which is such a great deal!

So we sat down to try the lunch specials. I had the Phat Thai which i remember from visiting other Thai Restaurant to be a popular dish. My friend ordered the Green Curry, which the menu specified to be 2x spicy. The friendly waitress assured us that all the items can be modified to our liking.

The lunch specials included one piece of spring roll, a bowl of rice and a bowl of sweet & sour soup; which was more than we usually expect from lunch specials.

All in all, good eats, decent price, friendly atmosphere.

food:
rack of lamb + baked basa fillet w/ spinach alfredo sauce
seasoned prawns w/ curry rice
food wasn't bad, it for sure wasn't regular HK style cafe level

service:
when i arrived, it took the waitress a little while to realize i entered the restaurant, but after that, there wasn't any real issues with service

value:
its true that the pricing for the items in the menu is slightly higher than your average HK style cafe, but i believe that only really applied to the regular items. once you go up to the more special items such as the steak combos and the chef's specials, you'll find that the price are more justifiable

ambiance:
i can see how pittsburg might have been a trendier looking place when it first started but the decor has become a bit weathered over the years, so if they expect the customers to pay at a higher price point, the entire eating experience might have to be amended

conclusion:
first and foremost, i don't understand why the other reviewers here are reviewing about the regular items that you could eat anywhere, although i must admit the regular items are not their strongest suit, especially being priced higher than the competitors. i think that if you gave pittsburg a chance and try some of their specialty items, you might find that its not all that bad
