Food was fantastic and so was the service! We ordered the avocado fresh roll and the pineapple fried rice with tofu. Both came out quickly and tasted amazing. There is also a cute flower wall perfect for taking pictures. I will definitely be back! read more

This was my first time eating in rather than ordering take out. We weren't ready to order entrees when the server first came over, so we ordered our drinks and appetizer. 45 minutes went by and they had not come back over.. We just decided to head to the counter to order, so no biggie, but definitely could have been better service. Dinner was delicious though, as always. read more

New fresh and delicious Thai food with hints of Indian cuisine here and there. Big menu and we enjoyed the flavor combinations in each of our dishes. Avocado roll and Thai Samosas were both very good. Ply was a very attentive and friendly waiter. Definitely coming back. read more

We just arrived in Charlottesville for the first time ever from Kansas City. We were looking at yelp for places to eat and discovered this little gem!! This amazing restaurant just opened a week ago and the food was fantastic! Plus a beautiful presentation and I even took a picture of the husband and wife owners. Pi and Apple. I wish we lived closer to you so we could come back every month! Give it a try your won't regret it. read more

Decent Thai food. The interior of this restaurant is minimalist, so we decided to eat outside on a warm summer's evening. I ordered the Ka Pao Jae. The spice level of the Ka Pao Jae was perfect, but the flavor itself was more on the plain side. I was looking forward to the strong basil flavor that I usually expect from this dish, but it was missing. I wish I could rate this restaurant as highly as others have, but, until I have something delicious, then I think it has to be a 3-star rating from me. I'll probably be back to try something else because the menu seems to have many great options, but I wouldn't order the Ka Pao Jae again. read more

First time here. The food is good but a little salty. Thai ice tea was really good. Plenty of parking bit can get full really fast since a popular German restaurant is next door. read more

We love pineapple Thai! Quick and delicious Thai food - best in Charlottesville! The drunken noodles and pork belly are just haves!

Had a great time at this restaurant. I had nothing to complain about from this place. I would come again. Even when we asked for them to cook our food without cashews, they obliged and got our food out in a quick manner. The ambiance was nice as well and felt very open. read more

The food was excellent. We got spring rolls for the table, which were perfectly crispy and tasted great. We also got the veggie gyoza, which was the perfect texture and came with a great sweet/sour sauce. And the presentation for all the dishes was great! My veggie fried rice was perfectly cooked and seasoned and wasn't greasy, which is an issue I have with many other places. The texture of the veggies was perfectly cooked. My friend got midnight beef. He said the veggies and meat were cooked perfectly and everything was incredibly flavorful. My other friend got panang curry. She said it was a great level of spice. She said it was some of the best panang curry she'd ever had in her life! The restaurant was very clean, and our server was very nice and attentive. The bathrooms were also very clean, and wheelchair accessible. read more

My go-to thai takeout place. They have lots of protein options and classic thai dishes of all kinds + specialty ones as well. Its hard to do thai bad but still--I'm glad theres a solid thai place in charlotesville! read more

Everything we had was great. The Avocado Fresh Roll had this amazing peanut sauce and the Kapow Crispy Duck Basil was so good. I was impressed that the duck was boneless. read more

I got doordash from here and truly enjoyed the taste of everything. It was spicy and flavorful. The portion were good sized. It was oily enough for flavor but didn't make me feel like I'd break out. I think it's also one of the only Thai places in the area. read more

Food is amazing! The samosas are my weakness and the I love the basil beef! It's super cute inside and the outdoor seating is nice as well! Little pricey but worth it read more

The food was good! I had the pad thai with shrimp and the shrimp was cooked to perfection! The service was a bit slow the day I went but the servers were really sweet and attentive. The place itself is just so cute read more

I want to correct my earlier review. I reviewed Pineapple's very favorably but said the bar didn't really serve cocktails. That is definitely not right- They have excellent cocktails and seating at the bar too. On the previous visit we had a willing but I think inexperienced server who seemed unfamiliar with their cocktail offerings. read more

We have been long-time diners at Pineapples due to their outstanding food - the best Thai we have had in Charlottesville. In the past we have frequently done take-out with no problem. However, the last two take-out orders we made have been mixed up on their end - badly. We asked for mild spicy and they gave us hot; we asked for curry with tofu and they gave us curry with chicken; we asked for and paid for extra rice which we didn't receive. The problem appears to be the lack of communication of the kitchen with the front desk because the order is always right on the receipt. After a 30 minute round trip drive their mistake is not apparent until we uncover the dishes at home! Although the staff is friendly and polite, their attention to detail is just not there. read more

We had the pork belly appetizer, fried rice, and steamed cod. well made. well seasoned. flavorful. attentive waitstaff. delicious delicious delicious!!! daphne was a great server. our new favorite Thai restaurant in town. read more

Absolutely amazing!! This is our second time grabbing lunch here and once again they nailed it!! Flavor is spot on. Portion sizes reasonable. Prices reasonable. All around a solid win for us! read more

Food. Is. Amazing. It is pretty darn steep on the pockets but it is worth it for a nice treat. I recommend takeout, I think it comes faster than dine in. And the curry beef short rib is unbelievable. read more

We stopped by here for dinner one Friday since it was the only Thai place in Charlottesville that we haven't tried yet! There was only one person serving as the host, server, bartender, and food runner so he was running around like crazy since the restaurant was basically at capacity. It took a bit to get greeted and our drinks. We saw our food sitting underneath the heat lamp, but the host/server/bartender/food runner didn't get to it for a while so the food was a bit lukewarm when it arrived. The food was okay, nothing to write home about. The cocktails were a bit watery, maybe from the one person working having to rush to get to the other tables. He was extremely apologetic for the wait so we made sure to tip him well for his hard work. I would give 3 stars to the food and drinks, but adding an extra star for the hardworking man who waited on us that day! read more

It killed me to give Pineapples four stars, because the food was absolutely amazing. Perfect spice level, super authentic, and definitely some of the best Thai food I've ever had. Plus, it was very affordable considering how expensive most Thai restaurants are! We got the crispy duck, the Panang curry, and Thai iced tea. The entrees were great portion sizes, and had amazing flavor. The Thai iced tea was not too sweet, and was served in a cute mason jar. The decor was fun and very inviting: complete with yellow furniture and a big, instagram-able flower wall. However, the service was some of the worst I've ever experienced. We made reservations for dinner, and were seated immediately. Then, it was about 30 minutes before we were given water and menus. In total, we were there for over two hours. Although our food was fairly quick to come out, we waited almost 45 minutes for them to come get the bill. Eventually we just brought it up to the counter and paid. We saw later that other customers were going straight up to the counter and ordering/paying for their meals before they were even seated. But we were never told to go up to order/get menus/pay, and this was our first time here, so overall it was a bit of a disappointing experience. I know restaurants have been struggling amid the pandemic with staffing, but they weren't that busy and the wait time was just terrible. So, if you are a first timer, go right up to the counter to order and pay! Enjoy some delicious Thai food! read more

Huge portions. I got the pad thai and it was flavorful and fresh but the portions are so big I couldn't finish! Good service and reasonably priced. I sat outside but the inside of the restaurant looked really cute and inviting. read more

The flavors, oh my gosh. There are already good Thai places in town including my favorite Monsoon Siam, and this is up there as one of my favorite places, if not my favorite Thai in Charlottesville. The flavors are bold but not overpowering. I ordered the crispy pork belly bowl and the umami flavor is so amazing mixed with some sweet taste. They know how to use spice and seasoning in this restaurant. Recommend going here! Run, don't walk. read more

This is my favorite Thai restaurant in Charlottesville. It just opened recently. The inside is really nice and it has some (not a ton) of outdoor seating. I always get the drunken noodles and find it to be really flavorful. The dishes do run on the spicier side, so I recommend maybe going down one spice level than you usually do. My only small complaint is the service is just okay. I think it might be because they just opened and they just don't have everything totally figured out, or maybe our waiter was having an off day. Still, the service is fine and definitely not a deal breaker. read more

Updating my review to better reflect recent experience. We haven't tried take out and it may still suffer from long wait times, but Pineapples has slowly become one of two of our preferred Thai places in C'ville. Their short rib curry is excellent!! read more

I had the cashew crispy chicken & lotus ice tea. Both were extremely good. I would say it is the best Thai food I have had all year. The prices are also very reasonable. read more

Good food in a cute setting. Parking was easy but we must have happened upon some sort of mad rush to get out bc it was pretty painful leaving the parking lot. Food was a tad bit salty but I sucked down their lyche drink so it was all good. We came for lunch and we ate every bit of our food. Either we are pigs or the portions could have been bigger. Not sure which. It was an enjoyable meal. read more

Lots of buzz about Pineapples Thai Kitchen, and rightfully deserved. The menu is large and provides a variety of dishes. I like to pay special attention to anything named under the chef special so, I ordered the Crispy Chicken Cashew Nut ($17). It was delicious! And the serving was large enough for lunch the next day. Crispy is the best description, as the chicken is cut into thin slices, fried and then coated in a savory and sweet sauce that tastes like tamarind and chili paste. It's got a crunch but is still chewy. I loved the texture of the cashews and the bite of the green onion. I noticed a bunch of other dishes on the menu that I'll definitely come back to try either for dine in or takeout. I'm particularly curious about the beef rib yellow curry, that just seems tasty. I got the moo sam chan (crispy pork belly) appetizer ($12) to share and the Thai iced tea, which was such a treat. I've heard only good things and have now experienced some great food. This will definitely be a regular spot for me in the future, a nice place for a casual dinner or take out for home. read more

They will say they are open, take your grubhub order and take your money then not deliver it. Then when you call, it will ring off the hook, maybe get answered, and you'll get hung up on, call back, and no one will answer. This is what will happen. read more

I've been to a lot of Thai spots and this is by far my favorite in the area. Great Thai iced tea. My favorite pad see ew...perfectly sauced and not too sweet and soupy. Food travels well for takeout but I also love eating in...bright, clean place with excellent service. I love the flower wall and bar too! read more

FOOD WAS AMAZING!!! it is a smaller restaurant, so keep that in mind for seating. The service was decent. Food was worth the wait

So so good. I'm still thinking about the crying tiger dish I ordered two weeks later. We needed another solid Thai place in town.

We generally have our standard Thai takeout place, but we decided to mix it up this weekend with Pineapples Thai restaurant. We ordered for curbside pickup. Our order was done fast, it was all correct, and so delicious! The drunken noodles and avocado rolls were amazing. They had such a delicious peanut tamarind sauce for the rolls, which stole my heart. Yumm! We will definitely order from here again. read more

This place was amazing. Came there on Friday night, 30 min before closing time, so my expectations weren't high. I was reluctant, but the kids wanted Thai, so whatever. I was so wrong! The food was amazing, super fresh and tasty, service great. And they serve very reasonably priced alcohol with a good selection of cocktails. We didn't have any, but people around were asking for seconds, so I assume it was good. Clean place, good service, great food! read more

Best thai food in Charlottesville, hands down. The chicken tom ka, chicken satay and fresh spring rolls are to die for!
