    Fried rice with chicken
    Keizzel C.

    I think I found one of my new go to food carts whenever I am craving Pad See Ew! I'm glad a cancelled DD order from another Thai restaurant happened otherwise I probably would not have checked out Pinto for lunch. I got my usual beef pad see ew and chicken fried rice and it was enough to share between two people. If you know me, I enjoy my pad see ew noodles on the drier sauce and brown. Pintothai didn't disappoint and they were nice and chewy without being overcooked and had plenty of flavor (more on the sweet side). The noodles didn't have any excess sauce so it was perfect for me! The only thing was that the beef wasn't the most tender but still pretty good. As for the rice, it was also tasty! Rice was flavored well and was a little saucier which wasn't bad since it was absorbed really well. Both dishes held up well as leftovers the next day too. Would be keen to try other dishes as well but will likely always get the pad see ew as one of the mains.

    I struggle finding good Thai food, having lived next door (Malaysia). Recommended the pad tom yum, and it's really good. A touch sweeter than what I'd find in country, but delish. To be fair, I've never had Thai food in the US that wasn't too sweet. Flavors on point, and definitely felt they nailed the flavors. Used the lime that came with to cut some of the sweetness out, and it's among the best in Portland

    Golden Crab
    Athena G.

    If I'm being honest, I would give this place 3.5 stars, but there is no option for half stars on the Yelp app. I started out with the golden crab, which was very disgusting, frankly. While beautiful and fried to be a perfect golden color, the filling was 90% cream cheese, 10% crab. Not worth the money, and I ended up throwing out the other three after eating the first. However, the dish that saved this review was the duck curry!! The duck was cooked beautifully and was very tender. The skin was absolutely perfect too. I loved the broth and the mixture of flavors. It was a little spicy, but not so much it disturbed the dish. The rice was cooked well. Not to mention, the kind lady who took my order was extremely friendly and the service was quick! I hope to come back and try this cart again. Maybe the mixture for the golden crab filling was off today, so I'm giving a generous 4 stars in hopes that it was a fluke.

    Duck curry special
    Matt E.

    I came to this pod to eat at another cart, but when I walked past and saw that they had duck curry on special, my plans quickly changed. Who has two thumbs and likes duck? This guy. Well, the TLDR is that it just wasn't that great. The duck was fine, but so overpowered by the sauce and such that you didn't really pick up that flavor. I think it's because the curry was just SOOO sweet. There has to be a ton of sugar in it, and then they go and add pineapple. It was too sweet for me to finish and once I passed it off to my friend (a total curry fiend) he agreed. I wish I had gotten more than just this one dish, so that I could base my opinion on more. But this being their special, it left me with little desire to return. There's so much Thai in this city, I doubt I'll be back to give these folks another chance.

    Pad Eggplant, Salad Roll
    Lilah S.

    Needed Thai to help me with my mild hangover... it wasnt super cheap but what is these days? I got the eggplant with veggies and the tofu salad rolls and both satisfied me! Veggies weren't over cooked, sauce couldve been spicier but it was still yummy! The salad rolls couldve used some basil or something but I am very pro shredduce so they also hit the spot. The woman who helped me was incredibly friendly and my food came out in like 10 minutes. Ill be back!

    Eem in Laos/Thai means 'I'm full' and this is how I feel whenever I'm done here!…read more If I had to pick my last meal on Earth, it would be at Eem. I've been coming here for nearly 10 years, and it never disappoints! My must-orders are the White Curry with their burnt brisket 10/10, the Mushroom Fried Rice 10/10, and the Carpaccio Crudo 10/10. The white curry is unbelievably rich and savory - the burnt brisket completely makes the dish unique! I genuinely dream about it! If you're visiting Portland and only have time for one meal, this is the restaurant I'd recommend without hesitation. There are no reservations, so you'll need to put your name on the waitlist and be patient. Seating is limited, but it's 100% worth the wait! Don't skip the drinks either - they're served in the cutest mugs. Eem continues to be one of my favorite restaurants in Portland and I can't recommend it enough!

    You are going to want to make a reservation for this place! We went on a Sunday and decided to join…read morethe waitlist when we got there. We waited 45 minutes for a seat at the bar and seated around 6:40 PM. Before we were seated, I overheard someone wanting to wait for a seat at the bar and the waiting time was 1 hour and 45 minutes. I highly recommend setting up a reservation. I heard a lot of chatter and seen plenty of reviews speaking highly of the white curry with burnt brisket ends. I had no clue what to expect, but that meal was such a highlight of meals I had while in Portland. I do not eat seafood (have not for a few years) and the broth is made with shellfish, but for this dish I was willing. The dish itself is a five star dish! The dish is well-balanced, flavorful & light. The brisket is absolutely amazing, and this is coming from someone who used to work at a barbecue joint back in the day for a few years. I would recommend this dish to anyone, unless you have a seafood allergy lol. That part is slightly misleading, I did not see anyone mention anything about shellfish and would not have guessed it, assuming the dish was simply just curry and beef. For anyone eyeing this dish, be aware that those with a shellfish allergy cannot indulge. The Bok Choy, not specifically called this on the menu, is DELICIOUS! One of the best I have ever had! It is so good, I wanted to order two just for one person! Highly recommend!! The Thai tea fell flat. I am a HUGE fan of Thai tea, so much so I purchase a specific tea from a nearby tea shop just to make it at home. I make it an absolute mission to order Thai tea if it's offered anywhere I try. At this restaurant, I would not order it again. The red curry with lamb shoulder was good, my partner ordered that dish. Specifically, he was NOT a fan, me on the other hand, I would love to go back to this establishment and get both of the curry dishes for myself. He says, it lacks flavor, so much so he could not finish it. This is really weird coming from him because he thinks everything is "flavorful" when most times, I think it is lacking. Basically, he is someone that thinks everything is good when it comes to food. On the other hand, me? Well, I am always gonna have some complaints. I think the red curry with lamb shoulder was very lamb forward. The strong flavor of the lamb, cuts the flavor of "curry" significantly. Where in comparison with the white curry and burnt brisket ends, all the flavors of brisket, shellfish, and curry were able to shine through, truly it is a really fantastic dish.

    5 star food with excellent service - very welcoming and knows how to upsell lol…read more Food Orderd: 1. Fried Chicken Roti Combo - holy fried chicken crispy, combo comes with 1x leg and 1x thigh cut into two pieces. Curry was delicious and balance, excellent when dipped with the crispy roti or fried chicken. Pickled veggies were a great pairing and sweet and sour added another dimension. 2. Pad Thai - glistening noodles served inside an egg omelet. Very solid pad thai - sweet, sour, salty. Don't forget to add the fresh shrimp, these were cooked perfectly and plump. I recommend the restaurant should take the shrimp tail shell off for us. 3. Thai Basil Lemonade - solid lemonade, NEED more basil flavor. Overall, I'd come here again to eat and try other items as well. I'll give it a 5 star for now but more 4.5.

    Popped into Hat Yai this evening for the first time and very glad we did. The food was delicious…read moreand vibe was bustling. I'll start by saying this place is definitely not big so come with the expectation that you might have to wait for a table. There's only about 8-10 tables in the place and it's definitely geared towards smaller groups. Regardless we ordered at the front and then were able to find a seat. Wound up ordering the combo to try and get a taste of everything. The portions were solid and everything was super tasty. The chicken is perfectly breaded and delicious. It's a bit of a messy meal so just come with that in mind. Have a bunch of different options that also looked tasty. Will have to come back and try again. Service was fine. They were kind and cleared the table. Water is self serve at front of the restaurant and they clearly do a fair amount of takeout. Cool local spot to definitely check out.
