Green curry tofu
Chandrika B.

Loved everything about it - location, outdoor seating, service and food :) Its located right next to LazyDog (which is also great for American cuisine) and koi palace. there is a parking garage (free!) nearby 2 mins walk away and lots of street parking as well. The outdoor seating is inviting on a sunny afternoon and service was friendly. In $120 (after tip) we got: - papaya salad - 5/5 - loved the tangy spicy nutty salad and it lives up to the hype. Soooo good :) - chicken Penang curry - 5/5 - comes with portion of steamed white rice and was flavorful, not watery and lots of chicken :) - green curry tofu - 5/5 - creamy and loaded with veggies and comes with rice - pad thai chicken - 4/5 - i wish it was a little less sweet - rockfish - 5/5 - amazing texture, spicy and delicious. It also comes with a side of rice. This is owned by the same person who owns "must be thai" and i love that too. This is a more fancy place to sit and eat which is great :) Definitely coming back for thai iced tea and desserts!!

Pork Jowl with rice
Lindsey T.

Came here on a Friday for dinner and thought it was average. We made a reservation online and when we arrived it was pretty empty but quickly filled up later. The interior is very nicely decorated and it's located conveniently on Cupertino Main Street. They have indoor and outdoor seating, and we chose to seat inside. There, we noticed that the chairs were super squeaky. If the chair moved the WHOLE restaurant could hear it screech lol I was pretty disappointed by the service. Even though it wasn't super busy when we arrived, we had to be the one to call the staff for everything, like ordering, water refills, and getting the check. At our table, people were constantly missing things, like forks or water. The food was decent as well. We tried the beef jerky (good), the pad Thai (good), and the pork jowl (okay). The beef jerky was surprisingly tender and had a nice sauce pairing. The pad Thai was rly flavorful and the portion was decent. The pork jowl included rice, which had a garlicky flavor, but I thought the meat was a bit dry and not as fatty as other jowl dishes.

Pineapple Iced Tea
Ron B.

Met up for some Thai in the Bat Area, excellent place. All the food flavorful without being excessively salty. Good service, they are very busy place so they are spread a little thin. High energy, close tables, not a romantic place, but a fun place a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating available. An excellent free parking garage adjacent. Would certainly come here without hesitation. We had: Pineapple Iced Tea (refreshing but probably not a favorite) Lychee That Tea (refreshing but probably not a favorite) Tom Kha - Chicken (rich and flavorful would definitely re-order) Beef Mango (very good, but I'd probably try a different dish) Pad See U - Chicken (excellent chew on the noodles, would re-order) Jasmine Rice (it's rice)

We had a lovely Valentine's Day dinner at Pineapple Thai. The service was great, with the staff being attentive and welcoming. We really enjoyed their creative drink menu, which added a nice celebratory touch to the evening. As for the meal, the food was delicious and perfect if you prefer milder flavors, as nothing we ordered was overly spicy. We asked for chili sauce as we like our Thai dishes spicy. Didn't take many pictures as we were enjoying our time together. Overall, wonderful experience that made for an enjoyable date night Ambiance: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Food: 9/10 Music: 10/10 Seating: indoor (little tight for big groups) & outdoor (plenty) Parking: Ample, free parking available Price: $30 -35 per person

Rock Fish
Laltoo B.

Upscale Thai. Nice ambiance. Low on Taste. Calamari starter was well done. But the Sesame Chicken was a dessert with deep fried chicken in a extra sweet sauce, couldn't finish. The 38$ Rockfish dish was pretty average, deep fried with a tangy sauce. Everything seemed sweet. Maybe one should try the Tom Yum & Green Curry instead. The outdoor seating was nice & warm(with heaters). Service was friendly but slow. Disappointing Valentine's Day dinner.

Happy Hour: Pixel Wings, Garlic Smelt Fish, Beef Jerky, Garlic Noodles, Margarita, Old Fashion
Janni Linea B.

We came here again for happy hour. The happy hour menu has changed compared to about a year ago but a few items are still available. Food prices range from $6 to $10. The beef jerky was a bit tougher than before, but the Pixel Wings were still delicious. The papaya salad is no longer on the menu, but we were still able to order it. We also tried some new items, including the Gai Gor Lae chicken skewers and the crispy Pad Thai. Both were definitely worth trying. Happy hour drinks went up a few dollars and are now $10 each, but still worth it in my opinion. Everything came out to around $70. Not bad at all. Our server was very nice and friendly, and I always love the vibes inside.

happy hour Pixel Wings
Thomas H.

Nice and attentive service (our server was Lina or Luma). A bit on expensive side, but costs are so high (especially this Cupertino location), so understandable. Good yummy food.

New York Whiskey Sour
Cameron K.

Came with a few friends for their Tuesday Happy Hour deal - Happy Hour from 4 until close! It was 2 cocktails for the price of 1 so my friend and I each got a New York Whiskey Sour. We didn't sit at the bar but I will say the drink looked great when they served it to us... and it tasted better! It was a little busy when we came at around 7:30ish so if we sat inside we would've had to wait 10-15 minutes. Will have to try the food next time!

Pad See U
Amanda M.

I've been to Pineapple Thai now twice, and one time it was fantastic and the second time it was kind of hit or miss. Generally I'd say this is still a very good Thai food spot. Recently we ordered the pixel wings, fried pad Thai appetizer, Panang curry with beef and the pad see u. The flavor on the pixel wings is great -- the sauce is light in texture but flavorful with a slight kick, but the meat on the wings felt really skimpy! We were also excited to try the fried pad Thai, but I think we had different expectations based on the waitress' descriptions; this basically felt like a smaller pad Thai dish with some crispy pieces in it (we could've done without this). However, the pad see u here is some of our favorite, and the panang curry was very good. My only gripe on the panang curry is that I felt there was hardly enough meat to share between the two of us. Lastly, we ordered the house wines on happy hour and these were actually two very good local CA selections! We've ordered cocktails here before that were also very good. Our waitress was sweet and service was good, I only felt like we were being rushed out a little bit as we were finishing our meal. Would definitely still come back again and try some other options; the price point is also pretty good here.

Thai Beef Jerky with House Sauce
Linh N.

Final Thoughts: 4.00/5 Second time coming here. I wasn't a yelp elite during my first visit, so now I'm back. Simple dinner with my friends here today. We came right at opening time. It was a pretty simple dining experience and dinner today. The food was alright overall and the experience was just of another dinner day. Food: Thai Beef Jerky: 3.0/5 This seemed to be just overcooked beef if you ask me. It was quite tough and I didn't enjoy it in that sense even with my knowledge of it being beef jerky. The sauce didn't make it for me either and it just seemed to be this spicy sauce on the side. The beef jerky itself is seasoned well, so that's a plus. The meat itself is just really hard though and tough to get through. Perhaps this is because the pieces are cut pretty small and thin, so it's on the harder side. Pad See U with Tofu: 3.8/5 This was my dish today. Overall, this dish was quite good. Starting with the pros, the rice paper has this really nice charring on it. This goes for a majority of the dish and not just one or two pieces that got stuck to the pan. The amount of tofu and vegetables mixed in is also optimal because I find other places can be skimpy on that aspect. Balance of vegetables, to noodles, to egg and protein are great. I like the tofu added as protein. You do have options of animal proteins, as well. The texture components are nice with the little charring and then the crunch from the sauteed vegetables. With the flavor, I do think that there is a nice soy sauce flavor to it. My one note is that this dish was quite salty and almost too much for my liking. Perhaps a little more balancing would have done it just fine though for me. Nothing too concerning and perhaps just a preference. Pad Thai with Grilled Beef Flank: 3.8/5 My friend's dish that I tried for reviewing purposes. This dish is made well overall. The sauce of the pad thai is good. The noodles are softer and a little too overcooked for my liking. I like a bite to it and more al dente. For the beef flank, there was an upcharge for this protein option. You do have other protein options. Note that not all of them will have an upcharge. For the extra amount that was charged for this meat though, it didn't seem to meet my expectations. The meat was tender and it was seasoned, but it just wasn't anything spectacular. While seasoned, it felt like just a basic seasoning. Nothing much more to contribute to the dish. One plus though is the amount that they provide. Again, they don't seem to be skimping on the amount that they provide for each plate. Perhaps chicken or tofu are just the more fitting proteins for this dish. Flavor was good and there was a little kick to it. Aesthetics: Small note, but they do a good job with presentation and plating. My eyes really are eating first with each plate. They seem to be assembled in a simple way, but it looks nice and clean upon being brought to the table. --------- Quality: Hot and charred nicely They food came out hot enough and there was nice charring done, so it seems to be made to order. Each item came out at different times, so I'm inclined to believe they're made fresh, which I appreciate. Price: Large price range They have a pretty large price range. The ranges will be from $15 to $30 with some outlier items. Overall, the main dishes will be around $20-$25 per plate, which seems about average these days for a lunch/dinner plate like that. They do provide a hefty plate, so perhaps their prices can be considered normal. Service: Pleasant Very interesting first impression actually. We came just right before opening and when we walked in, there was literally no one manning the front. There was one person eating to which we did not want to bother, but we did stand there until another customer walked in. That did prompt the person eating to call someone from the back though. Perhaps they weren't expecting anyone at the time. Of note, there isn't a bell or anything at the front to notify the employees that someone has come through the door. Overall, they're quite nice and attentive otherwise after being seated. Ambiance: Modern with a touch of fine dining The interior is quite dim lit inside. This gives off somewhat of that fine dining. There are seats outside and their outdoor seats are actually quite nice too on a good day. The first time we went there, we were sitting outdoors and it seemed to be a pleasant experience overall. Location/Parking: Optimal parking available This place is located on Main Street Cupertino Shopping Plaza. There are lot of restaurants and stores here along with some resident apartments. Seems like your average rich area. There are parking structures available along with the parking you can find around the area. This shouldn't be a concern here, but maybe just a little more walking depending on where you choose to park.

Pork Jowl with Crispy Rice
Carine B.

Great experience trying Pineapple Thai after bookmarking this recommendation made by a coworker. We were super hungry and popped in around maybe 2PM for a late lunch on a Sunday. we were greeted right away and seated quickly. Ambiance was nice - nicely decorated, cute spot. We sat indoors since it was winter and chilly but the outdoor area is also very nice. * Pad See Ew with Chicken: I really struggled with this one. Flavor wise I would give it 4.5 stars but the way it was served I'm give it 3 stars. I was really disappointed by the lack of green vegetable. It almost looked like they took one piece of Chinese broccoli and sliced it up thin. I would've liked to see at least a few more of these in the dish. The chicken was also very light and sparse, so much so that I actually had to dig around to make sure we were given chicken. * Panang Curry with Beef Flank: 4.8 stars The beef was cooked wonderfully, and the curry was extremely flavorful. There were so many layers to the flavor profile of the curry and it was done real well! It's a little spicy, but nothing too overpowering. would've made this. A five star dish is a little bit more curry sauce. I appreciate the way it was plated because had the beef been sitting in the hot curry sauce the beef would've been overcooked. But, we were scraping the red curry sauce at the end, trying to eat it with our rice and noodles and wish there was a little more. * Pork Jowl Crispy Rice: the pork itself was ok but the flavor on the crust was delicious! Lemongrass came through real strong. The rice was also very good with crispy garlic/onion pieces so it had a delicious flavor profile and paired really well with the curry dish. The table next to us ordered a bunch of items, and those all looked really good. The green curry looked amazing as well as some yellow rice with seafood that almost looked like a paella. I would definitely recommend to try more dishes. It is a little pricey side (as in...you're not getting giant portions for the price) but the quality is there and the flavors hit and we thought the three dishes at $75 was doable for three people.

I went here for a quick lunch date. The vibes were good and the service was nice. The place is a bit tight in terms of space. The food is where the stars are deducted. The food was pretty basic for the price to be honest not worth it. In addition I found out they charge more for their dinner menu than their lunch for some of the same items. It's not worth checking out. So many other cute and great food options in the same area.

Bar Area
Eric L.

Great food and nice ambiance. They have both indoor and outdoor seatings, plus a beautiful bar. All areas are very well decorated. They have excellent service. Their staff are very friendly and thoughtful. They patiently answer all our questions and help make sure our food can be ready on time. Most importantly, all of us love the food very much!

My only complaint is that it gets very busy, and it seemed like there were only two servers working, so drinks took a while. We got there early for good seats and grabbed food before the show.

Unfortunately the staff is not friendly. Now given I was there on a Friday during HH and before a popular movie, I can understand being busy but I truly felt like a bother. After ordering two drinks I also order two appetizers to which the bartender rolled her eyes at. Other than the less than decent service, one of the drinks we ordered had boba in it but served with small paper straw that the boba couldn't go through. Maybe I'm being petty about this one but the drinks also just didn't hit? They seemed pre-batched and lacked good flavor. We ordered wings and nachos. Wings had a weird texture and the nachos were mid. Two happy hour appetizers and two drinks were $65. While it's very convenient, there's so many other options in the Pruneyard, don't waste your time here.

The only minor logistics note: the waffle-to-chicken ratio required a second waffle order to restore balance. Worth it, but worth flagging. The Esplanade cocktail was a standout -- strong, confident, and refreshingly restrained on the sweetness.
