    BBQ pork. Delicious and the dip was amazing.
    Mark L.

    Food was amazing, service was friendly and the restaurant is cute and very clean. I will be back when I return to the area .

    Love the ambiance/decor of this place. The food is also delicious. Attentive staff. We for the pad Thai and drunken noodles both were great!

    Ordered the N-1 Pad Thai wrapped eggs with shrimp to-go and to be honest it was a bit underwhelming. Not only was it $34 for 2 noodle dishes.. but It took 40+ minutes to have my order made and the sauce was way too sweet. If I was dinning in I would have definitely sent it back. I was hoping for a better taste given such great reviews. Maybe I came on an off day /:

    N-1 Pad Thai

    Tried the Pad Thai here and was pretty disappointed. It was bland overall and the chicken had a strange taste. Portion size was generous, but unfortunately, the quality didn't match the price ($16). Wouldn't recommend...

    Thai chili with beef

    I use to frequent pinto Thai quite a bit as I was living fairly close to it. But since I had moved last year, I hadn't been to pinto Thai for almost a year and a half, till recently. I am not sure what happened to the service and quality of food from the previous visits. Perhaps a change in management? We came here for lunch and the restaurant was empty. We seated ourselves and a young waiter came to take our orders. We went with a Thai chili beef and a basil fried rice with shrimp. The serving size were very small/petite. I almost felt like as if I was eating a kid's meal. We got spice level 4, and yes the food was hot and spicy, yet lacking taste. There was nothing that stood out about the dishes except that they looked like some protein stir fried with veggies and served with rice. There was no "soul" in the food. I hated the fact that they were not enough protein. Our service was very slow. I did not see the waiter till it was time for our checks. At that time, he got us our refills. We were ready to get the heck out of there. As there are numerous amounts of Thai restaurants in the city, this was probably my last visit to Pinto Thai.

    D1 Sticky Rice with Mango
    Daysi L.

    The decor is so beautiful! there's a chandelier on all tables which was so nice. I had higher expectations for the food since it was rather expensive. all plates were around $13-15. The cheese rolls were okay, but my pad woon sen was really cold when i got it. it didn't have enough flavor and is probably one of the worser plates of pad woon sen i've had. I tried the yellow curry and it was soooo good, id definitely order that instead. The sticky rice was delicious, but rather expensive it was around $8 for such a small plate. our waiter was very friendly and attentive though he was very sweet.

    Advertising the days of the special.  24,25,26.

    Did not honor the thanksgiving 3 day special. Stated on the ad 24-26. Called the 26th and did not honor. I would just let it go but the employee on the phone was incredibly rude.

I've only got to-go from here once, and from what I remember, the wait wasn't too bad. The parking is quite difficult since the lot is so small. To share, we got an order of crispy veggie spring rolls and a bowl of tom kha with chicken. Both always hit the spot. Some Thai spots make tom kha too salty but I think this one is seasoned well. We also ordered pad see ew and pad woon sen with tofu. So delicious! The portions are pretty generous, so we had a good amount to take home.

I ordered it with beef, and the beef was very tender and not dry at all. Furthermore, the overall dish has the wok hay flavor and was one of my favorite pad see ews I've ever had. Thai Iced Tea - it was your average thai iced tea where it wasn't mixed at first(which I think is a sign of authenticity!) and sweet at the perfect level with condensed milk. What makes this a four star was that the service was a little iffy in my opinion. Even though we were in a large group which makes it harder for waiters to order, the waiter stared at one of my friends and started mumbling despite him already ordering which made it pretty awkward.

When you come in, wait to be seated, order and pay at the table. 2. Price - approximately $15 a plate. 3. Ambiance - Classy restaurant. I love the white linen on the tables. Soft music, white and red walls with Thai decor. Natural lighting during the day with warm interior lighting. It appears that there has been a makeover to the restaurant. I like the new look more. It seems more upscale in appearance. Dress code here is business casual. 4. Food - I've had their YELLOW CURRY WITH CHICKEN AND WHITE RICE. Curry is a bit sweet to my liking, but overall, it was a good meal. Will have to try other dishes next time. Food presentation is nicely plated. Not messy or sloppy. 5. Cleanliness - dining area is clean. The waitstaff keeps this place in tip top shape. The only complaint I have, although not exactly about cleanliness, I would suggest that management take a look at the lock in the men's restroom. Although it was locked, someone was able to enter still. SUMMARY This is a petite Thai cafe. Everything about this place was enjoyable. I would definitely come back to try again and will highly recommend this place.

It's cute from the outside, and as soon as you walk in, you're warmly welcomed by both the waitress and waiter. Once seated, they were quick with drink orders and attentive throughout service was impeccable...For food, I ordered my go to Tom Kha Kai, along with the crab wontons from their happy hour menu. The Tom Kha had a lighter, more watery base than the rich coconut flavor I'm used to. I know this can vary by region, so it wasn't bad, just not my personal preference...The cream cheese crab wontons were decent and nicely presented. They also served a complimentary appetizer, which was a fun surprise, a taco shaped fried wonton wrapper filled with cabbage and their house dressing...Overall, if you're looking for a quick Thai bite with excellent service, this place works. I'm giving it 3.5 out of 5 not because it's bad, but because the flavors didn't quite match what I personally look for. For what it is, it's solid. -- Pilgrim Sojourner

    This restaurant shares a parking lot with the Hobbit Cafe so space can be a little tight/limited…read more Despite it being a Friday night, my friend and I were able to be seated right away. For drinks, I got the Mekhong Mojito and it was sweet and refreshing! For appetizers, we got the crispy squid and the crispy wonton- crispy squid was good but if you had to choose between the two, get the crispy wonton! As for the entree, I ordered the Khao Soi with shrimp and my friend ordered the spicy red snapper. The curry broth with coconut milk was fragrant and with the toppings that came on the side (i.e. lime, onions/shallots, mustard greens, etc) enhanced the dish. The flat egg noodles were bouncy and the shrimp was solid. If you're stuck between choosing a curry dish and a noodle dish, get the best of both worlds and order the Khao Soi! As for my friend's spicy red snapper, I tried a bite and the spices/texture in the dish complimented the fish very well. For dessert, we ordered the classic Mango Sticky Rice! The mango was soft/sweet, the rice and sauce had that salty coconutty flavor. Aside from the delicious food, the interior is cozy and the waiters here were friendly and gave great advice on what to order.

They have that street food vibe as a well representation of their name, Rim Tanon, which means roadside. With dedicated parking that fills up quick during peak times, it may be difficult to locate parking as it is shared with a few other restaurants and the spaces are quite tight. We tried their appetizers including Salmon Rolls (flavorfully packed with cream cheese, salmon, and spinach in a crispy shell and loving that actually spicy mayo on the side), Thai Style Jerky (deep fried and sun dried marinated pork and beef served with sticky rice rolls and side spicy tamarind sauce, a bit too dry/chewy), Fried Tofu (perfect little triangles, so good by itself or with the side sweet and sour sauce with crushed peanuts), Chive Pancake (deep fried and chive packed triangles with a slight chew to it, great by itself or with it's spicy soy sauce companion). As for the mains, the Spicy Seafood Fried Rice is a good value as it was loaded with all sort of fruits of the sea (shrimp, squid, and mussel), with prominent lemongrass and kaffir lime aroma, but a bit wet or moist for a fried rice dish, the Crabmeat Omelet is served with a nice portion of lump crabmeat where you can taste the flavor of the seafood and add sriracha to liking, and the Beef Pad See Ew is made appetizing with wok charred flat rice noodles along with a savory blend of soy sauce, Chinese broccoli and egg. The portion size is alright and filling for a moderately hungry individual, though it would've been even better a tad bigger for those coming in hangry. I'll be back for more when I'm craving some modern Thai food and especially want to try their curry dishes. Service was quick and efficient, attentive to refills on drinks and friendly!
