    Red Curry
    Jani M.

    Came here on a whim and couldn't be happier I did. The vibe is very relaxed and the service is friendly. I ordered the red curry with chicken. It had such amazing flavor. I really suggest trying this spot for great Thai food. Their menu is big so figuring out what k wanted was the hardest part.

    "Chicken Teriyaki" - marinated & grilled with teriyaki sauce and a side salad
    Donovan H.

    Seattle offers its fair share of excellent Asian restaurants. Whether you're craving Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, or Laotian, this city offers a very diverse selection. So when I looked up for Thai restaurants with respectable Yelp reviews, "Pinto Thai Bistro & Sushi Bar" came up. Located in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle and directly on E. Broadway, this very popular restaurant is located directly in between E. Republican St. and E. Harrison St. And considering this place has been going strong since 2010, there's a reason why customers keep coming back here. One of which is their variety. They serve a ton of food on their menu. Which may or may not necessarily be a good thing. Here you will find your basic Thai dishes but also a very impressive sushi menu. Everything from classic Maki rolls (classic, veggie, & signature), Omakase (Nigiri or Sashimi), and other Japanese items including Teriyaki, Gyoka, Tataki, and Tempura. Finally, they have a nice assortment of soups, salads, pan fried noodles, fried rice, curries, and Wok Fares. The hours of operation are very respectable as they are open seven days a week from 11:30am to 9:30pm while being closed in between 3:00pm to 4:30pm during the week. And finally, they also have a Happy Hour that rolls out from 4:30pm to 6:00pm Monday through Friday. As far as the layout of this place, it is a bit on the smaller side so don't be surprised if you find yourself waiting for a table. However, this place does have a very modern, sleek look as well as being very cozy. During my visit, I arrived around 7:45pm during my visit as myself and my +1 were immediately seated. As far as what we ordered, I went with the "Pad See Eiw" with chicken as my protein of choice. This dish offers wide flat rice noodles stir-fried with eggs, carrots and broccoli in sweet soy sauce. My +1 went with their "Chicken Teriyaki" which was served with their signature house salad. Both our meals arrived within 10 minutes. The overall flavor, consistency, and value was definitely above average as this place serves very hearty portions and will definitely fill you up. Our waitress always made sure our iced waters were refilled which being very polite from the time we were seated until we left. If you're looking for that true Thai experience, I would suggest a few other popular restaurants such as "Buddha Ruska" or "Noi Thai Cuisine". But for a decent meal that offers a nice mix of Thai and sushi, I would definitely give "Pinto Thai Bistro & Sushi Bar" a try. My rating, four stars.

    Hawaiian Fried Rice, Satay, Evergreen Roll
    Miku T.

    tl;dr quick service and good food for takeout! I had gotten takeout from here as a quick night out because I was lazy to cook. I can say that the foods here were great and the takeout itself was ready super fast! I loved the evergreen rolls more than I did the satay - it had a minty taste along with the nice texture of the wrap and salad inside. It came with a great sweet-salty sauce that matched well. The satay was good - it just felt like dry chicken breasts though (the sauce was the redeeming factor). I think I would go with a different appetizer though. The Hawaiian fried rice was great - I had enough for lunch the next day. I loved the flavor and the textures (I've never had full cashews inside in a fried rice!) I would try this place again in person - when I went to pick up at 7pm on a Monday, it was completely empty.

    HH sushi rolls: Lava Roll, Ebi tempura roll, and Spicy Tuna Roll
    Doris W.

    Came here last night with friends for dinner and ordered off their Happy Hour menu, which I think saw goes until 6 PM. The HH menu has more sushi than Thai food on it, but overall it was a good sized HH menu! We were a group of 5, and for a Tuesday night, at one point, we were the only ones eating at the restaurant. We ordered: - Red Chicken Curry $11 - Pad Thai Chicken $11 x2 - Spicy Tuna Roll - Lava Roll - Ebi Tempura Roll - edemame - crab rangoon x2 - albacore tataki The Pad Thai and the Red Curry were delicious, and everyone at the table enjoyed both Thai dishes! The Albacore tataki was the only thing not on HH menu, and I thought it was just ok. The sushi was good, nothing overly amazing, but we were glad the Thai food came out first, and the sushi rolls came out later. Overall, we had a pleasant experience here, and I would come back!

    Pad Thai
    Ana K S.

    I recently ordered pad Thai and their crispy garlic chicken to go and both dishes were delicious! The chicken was a little less crunchy and a bit more salty than I anticipated but it was super hearty and went really well with the vegetables on the side. The pad Thai was my favorite, I ordered it with chicken and spice level 3, which was spicy but not unbearably so. I ordered delivery directly from the website and had initially gotten an estimated 50min wait time but the food arrive within 20 minutes! I highly recommend checking this spot out, they have an extensive offering of dishes so they're bound to have something for everyone!

    Ordered takeout on a Saturday night for celebrating our 1 yr anniversary at home and it was wonderful!! For apps we did the spring rolls (4/5)and crab Rangoon(5/5)!! For rolls we did the Spider roll, Dragon Roll, and lava roll. All were delicious and fresh!! We even got the mango sticky rice for dessert and it was some of the best we had ever had. Not a single bite was leftover! If your needing an excellent sushi place this is it! We will absolutely be back!

    California roll
    Huong L.

    I decided to check this place out for lunch since it's close to work and it definitely exceeded my expectations. For one: their lunch deal is really good. It's rare to find lunch for around $10 now so this place caught my eye definitely. I got the ginger chicken with no rice and it was $10.50. since I didn't get rice, they gave me extra salad. The portions were pretty good. The dressings was a little weird but it's not bad. Portion was good too. I also got a California roll and surprisingly it was good. It's interesting to have a Thai and sushi place and do both pretty well but this place did it well. Overall, definitely will be back for lunch or going to try their happy hour soon.

    I took my friend here to eat with me during the end hours of the Georgetown Carnival around 8:30pm…read moreafter hearing my friends tried here earlier in the day and vehemently recommending it to me. For it being less than half an hour before closing, it was packed inside, with two sections of seating for various group sizes, and a casually loud interior with a counter full of water jugs and glass cups in front of a nice plant backdrop with the name of this place in lights. Menu serves a ton of Asian fusion dishes along with some regular entrees and a ton of cocktails and wine. From my sis's recommendation when she went, I got myself the banh mi smash burger after deciding between that and the Pho-rench dip my brother-in-law had. My friend got himself the La Vong fish sandwich, which I didn't get to try though we both did split an order of honey sriracha Brussel sprouts. - For the banh mi smash burger, think of ALL the essential ingredients of a standard banh mi sandwich; then put in a regular beef patty, throw in lemongrass beef as the other meat and add provolone cheese as a complement to the pate-mayo spread. That's what this is in a nutshell, and it tastes exactly like a banh mi sandwich as a result, only in burger form. This was an absolute hit and win for me; beef patty was juicy, condiments were fresh, lemongrass beef was equally as juicy, and the side of fries made this a very filling dish! - I normally don't like Brussel sprouts because of their similar taste profile to asparagus, but I ate a ton of the honey sriracha Brussel sprouts from here. It's sweet and tangy, both of which mask the oddly earthy and bitter tones of regular Brussel sprouts. They're also roasted which further gets rid of that bitter taste I don't enjoy. We rushed a little eating since they were close to closing but we loved everything we got here! I should start keeping a list of places like this one for places I need to make a second and even third visit to for their other dishes.

Just glancing at the menu during a stroll in Cap Hill interested me and I wanted to give this place a try. Paid a visit on a Friday around 6PM and was able to get a table fairly quickly. There are parking garages in the building that Nue is located at, though I am not sure about parking validation. There should be plenty of street parking as the restaurant is located more on the outskirts of Cap Hill. I got to the restaurant via a 10 minute walk from the nearest light rail station. Service was a bit slow when went, I think after we were seated, there unfortunately were two large groups that can in afterwards. We had to flag down the service workers to place our order and get the check. As for the food, it came out after 10 minutes one at a time. The restaurant itself is decorated nicely, lots of memorabilia from various countries and even the check came out in a passport-esque binder. We got a couple of things, which I'll review down below: Carribean Pineapple Cornbread ($8): Tasty cornbread that has nice coconut flakes spread through the batter and around the cornbreads. The cornbread was moist and there is a pineapple undertone in the flavor profile. One downside was that the quantity is quite small, I think for the price, you get like 2 3x3 squares of cornbread, which I think is unfortunately not enough as an appetizer even. Chengdu Wings ($24): These wings do have a tasty flavor profile and have a fragrant aroma when you bite into them. The batter is crispy and they are pleasing to eat! Once again, I unfortunately think the suffers in terms of quantity - you maybe get like 3 wings for $24, which I personally think is a very steep price for fried chicken wings, regardless of the flavor profile. I understand that not everyone can handle very spicy flavor, and personally think that despite the name being Chengdu Wings, it serves as a good entry to Sichuanese cuisine for people given the motivation of the restaurant. Malaysian Dhal ($22): A pleasant dish that has a fragrant coconut, lime, and lemongrass flavor that represents the flavors of Malaysia well. The stew has a pleasant consistency and each bite coats your tongue with the fragrant flavors. The roti is flaky on the outside and soft on the inside - perfect for enjoying this dish. African Bunny Chow ($24): Probably the most filling dish that we have ordered at Nue - I think if you are hungry, maybe go for this one. There is a decent amount of meat in this dish, and the flavors are tasty - it feels like a slightly more toned down Dhal in terms of fragrance, but has a pleasant thicker consistency. In the end, I think Nue is better served as a Tapas-esque restaurant than a place you would visit if you are hungry. Prices vs. quantity does suffer quite a bit at Nue unfortunately, which is why I think it serves as a place to sample cuisines in a night out and then maybe visit elsewhere to complete your dinner. The food is flavorful and pleasing to the general audience, which is a good thing for people who generally aren't very adventurous in their culinary horizons. I'm not sure I would revisit, but I would definitely recommend this to people that lean more on the safer side of dining out.

    A very cute, cozy and comfy cafe in Central District! That being said, good luck finding parking…read morefor this place as street parking gets atrociously full around most times of the day, including Friday night around 8pm. Back to my rave: this place is comfy and a great place to just sit in when it's chilly outside. There's a comfy couch near the entrance, many knickknacks strewn around the inside and it's brightly lit to the point where you feel like you're at home instead of a cafe. The owner of the place is very sweet and welcoming, and the pastries shown around the area looked so delicious. For this visit, my friend and I got the Thai green tea latte, key lime tea, egg tart and a slice of tiramisu crepe cake. The egg tart was warm and yummy, and quite big too so it has a mochi-like layer inside it. The tiramisu crepe cake had tons of layers of crepe and cream along with the tiramisu powder sprinkled on top. This was creamy, delightful and calming all around, that's how good this cake was! My key lime tea is a mix of Thai tea and fresh lime juice, and I'm surprised that neither part interfered with each other too much given one is sweet and the other relatively sour. The Thai green tea latte was just as great to drink. This place is so cozy and cute, and the owner gave us great service. When you do find parking, come here for some drinks and desserts, it'll be worth it!

Strawberry Snowie Frappe - it's a solid dessert. Very sweet and likely double blended because it's not super icy, rather the liquid collects at the bottom. However the icy blend at the top wasn't watery either, there was still some flavor. Overall, it was as expected, but a decent refresher on this street.
