text: I am like so many others am incredibly excited about the new Downtown locationnnAs someone who spends of her waking hours Downtown I will now have more of an opportunity to try more menu options the new location is just a short walk down hill from my jobbie job The decor was simply amazing Nickys Thai has gold gilded statutes flanking the walls and the sweet aroma of incense filled the air I wish I could have stayed it was soooooooo warm and oh so cozy in there I stepped in during night time and the lights were down low with candle light twinkly throughout this location is larger then Western ave though a big win for NickysnnBeing a creature of habit I again ordered the same thing that I have always ordered while dining at the Western Ave location the shrimp red chili this time spicy normally I opt for spicy nnFor some reason I expected more so much more because of the newness of the location and because of the positive reviews of Nickys but what I got was mediocre My shrimp red chili cost me dollars for shrimp and soggy not soft veggies The sweet chili sauce is really the best part of the dish it is lip smacking good Oh to be able to bottle it and have it as a condiment for everything would be awesome Next time however I promise myself to just order a vegetarian red chili and save myself the disappointment of having only a few shrimp sprinkled through out nnnEven though I am not over the moon about the food I can still see myself eating at Nickys but I think it would be in my best interest to try a less expensive dish like just order the steamed dumplingsnn Oh and by the way the location is super easy is to find it is right on the corner of Penn and Ninth YOU CANNOT MISS IT It is around the corner from Blush and across the street from Nine on the Nine I do remember this location being a Mama Pinas pizzeria while I was a high schooler on Penn ave If you google map this joint it will still show Mama Pinas do not be deterred
