    Delicious appetizers and entrees with the family! Service was friendly and exciting with a touch of friendly and warm environment to enjoy with a nice meal with our family. The exciting service was seeing the little robot bring your plates to the table making it a nice touch for those gathered to discuss. We had the fried vegetable dumplings, Kung Pao Gyoza with the drunken chicken noodles. Next time definitely getting the Thai hot as this was listed as hot but didn't come close. But always recommend to start on the safe side than going in a blazing and not being able to enjoy A definitely must and return to on the list, when in Culpepper, VA.

    Let me start by saying I love Thai food and think of myself as a sort of connoisseur of the food type. I had wanted to try this place for awhile. We finally got out to Culpeper and I was not disappointed. Holiday decorations were up and the place was so cute and festive. The bumble even greeted us the door!! Food was prepared well and promptly delivered by a little robot. So fun! Is it the best Thai food I've ever had?! No. But it was very delicious and everything was freshly made to order. I would highly recommend trying this place out if you are in the area, even if for the ambiance alone.

    Heard so many things about this place so we decided to make an hour trip out to finally try it. It's in a very cute historic area of Culpeper. We arrived and were warmly welcomed and seated. The menu itself is massive. It felt like a JcPenny Christmas catalog. Probably too many options, but I liked the variety. The food was very good but I will say the servers weren't very attentive after we made our initial order. I had to wait and make a hand gesture to get them to come over so I could order a second drink. I ordered a Long Island Ice Tea and when it arrived, there was literally NO alcohol in it. Luckily I was able to walk to the bar and they fixed it. Maybe they thought I wanted a virgin? Overall, a solid little spot that we enjoyed and would probably return to if we were in the area. An extra star for the hilarious artwork in above the men's urinals.

    Such a fun place! I got the pad see ew and it was delicious! A "robot" brings your dishes to you. It doesn't replace a human server but it's cute. The decorations are really colorful and most the staff are Thai, which leans an air of authenticity.

    The quaint, delicious little Thai restaurant I never expected to find in Culpeper VA... The coconut soup was so full of flavour, umami, sour, creamy, and full of ingredients. Pad see ew was a little salty for my taste, but full of flavour and ingredients as well. Service was prompt and friendly, and the collection of ?tiffens? made for interesting decor!

    Outstanding meal at Pinto Thai Culpeper. Staff seemed kind of bored, it's pricey, but meal was excellent and well worth it.

    We visited for lunch on a recent Thursday in October. The restaurant was busy, but we had no trouble getting a table right away. The menu is extensive with many pages of entrees, apps, noodle dishes, curry dishes, veg dishes, meat/poultry/fish/shrimp dishes, desserts, and drinks. Seating is available outside, too. The service was attentive and excellent. We opted for a noodle dish, a Thai fried rice dish, and a curry dish, all from the lunch menu. The curry dish was my favorite. The fried rice dish was good, but the chicken was a bit dry and was not too flavorful. The noodle dish was a bit lacking in broccoli. The included apps were great - a tasty chicken skewer, a nice spring roll, a wonderful wonton soup, and a crisp salad. Overall, a nice experience.

    Pad Se Ew - Chicken

    I'm sad I don't live closer, but lemme tell you it was worth the 1hr 40min drive!!! I visited with my cousin who recommended this cute little town and the Thai place with robots. Call me intrigued! And boy did it live up to the expectation!! My cousin told me it would be worth it to order an entree for here and one to go. Great call. SoI tried the Pas Se ew with chicken in house, then Pad Thai to go. I always love to start with the staples to gauge the place. Now I'm happy to veer off and try their other options! My cousin got two orders of the papaya salad because she said it was as good as when she was in Thailand and this was the first place she found that did it right. So needless to say, I'll be back. Not only is it a fantastic food spot, but it's nestled in an adorable town! So you can walk off your yummy lunch or dinner up and down the street visiting the boutique shops.

    Nasi Goreng

    Came here for lunch with friends on weekend and we got seated immediately. Service was pretty quick and they have the serving robot which was kind of cool to see. I got the nasi goreng which out of all the dishes my friends and I got, I think was the best. The rice was well done and the skewers went along with them really well. It was very flavorful and all of the things with the rice were evenly dispersed. The portion size was pretty large too.

    Food is great, and portion size is nice for eating and having leftovers. It is pricey in my opinion but worth it as a splurge.

We only visit a few times a year, yet they remember us like we're regulars that's real service. I'm not sure what the previous reviewer experienced maybe just a bad day, which happens in this industry (I say that as someone who owns restaurants in Northern VA). Not every day is perfect, but consistency matters, and I can only speak from my experience. Helanna and Marissa have never disappointed. They consistently bring great energy, charm, and quality service every time we visit. Keep it up, ladies! I also appreciate that the owners have preserved the Culpeper charm. The rustic feel of the building is part of what makes this place special. It stays true to the town's character, which is refreshing with so much new development coming in.

    Hey.....you want some decent Chinese (texmex style), food? Want it fast and with good service (they…read moretake away empties and keep your drink full)? For those of you who dig it, want it with a small sushi bar as well? Then this is your place. It's a bit redneck but the food is pretty standard texmex style Chinese food (by that I mean it isn't traditional it's Americanized, general tso, sesame chicken etc). Want a high class sit down experience like some of these reviews seem to have set their sights on? Then this isn't the place and they don't try to be. They just give you good food at a good price. The covid years really hurt them just like any local business but they have managed to pull through unlike a LOT of local establishments. So maybe cut them a bit of slack ok? Don't let the other reviews sway you, they have bones to pick apparently (yeesh some of them). I'm here to lay it out for ya. Get you some good Chinese food, you know the drill some of it's best fresh some after it sits a bit. Get you some cali rolls and TIP THAT MAN the sushi chefs do a GREAT job, it's always fresh! Ya ya get outa here with your tipping hangups the dude is making sushi for us great unwashed masses give 'em a break think he wants to be suck in a redneck Chinese place? So if you don't mine a more cafeteria experience and just want decent food at a decent price then check 'em out. If you want posh then go to D.C. or something I dunno.
