Very flavorful soup. I had my shrimp.
Jerry P.

The food in the atmosphere were great. The staff was super friendly pose with a smile. Today I had soup and egg rolls. The eggrolls were fantastic. Nice and hot and very clean and tasty. The soup for somebody who likes spicy this would've been great. The flavors really popped. By myself don't like food that spicy. Apparently I'm a wimp because she said it was a two of 10 hotness. Lol. I'll be back to try your pet Thai. It looked great on the menu so a lot of appetizers to choose for.

Garden Rolls with Peanut Sauce.

My Wife's friends from work suggested this place as we would be)) in the area at another store looking for a mattress. After walking and looking at things, my hunger was immense. It was a bitterly cold and windy night. Parking was easy but after walking up to the entrance we found better parking right up front. There was no way we were going back into the wind for better parking. We made jokes and went inside. The internet said this place had "vibrant decor." I had no idea what that meant. I know now! It's colorful inside. Kinda cute. I thought the fake/real living wall was cool. They have a t.v. showing food and life in Thailand. It was awesome. A lot of the video was about food vendors and how much the food costs. Everything was 1/5th the cost you'd get charged for the same thing if it was the U.S.A. The waitstaff was on top of service. It was awesome. My Wife ordered a Thai Tea and I had beer. The tea was yummy but a little sweet for her. I was super hungry and we ordered a lot of food. The portions are good size and the prices were decent for being near the airport. We ordered 2 Salad Rolls. 1 Prawn and 1 Tofu and a Spring Roll. The Garden Rolls came with 3 different sauces. All three were absolutely delicious. 1. A Thai Peanut Sauce that was to die for. The leftovers I scooped onto my Pad thai as extra sauce. 2. Was a Miso Sauce that reminded me of a Chimichurri Sauce. I wasn't sure wich of the two sauces i liked more. Sauce # 3 was also very delicious. I forget what it was called. I looked up the menu online but didn't figure it out. Either way it was yummy. Not as much as the other 2 sauces but all 3 sauces were amazing. The Spring Rolls were good and crunchy, the sauce was sweet and flavorful. I judge all Thai Restaurants by the Pad Thai. We both had pad Thai. I had prawns, she ordered chicken. The plate presentation at Zab Pinto is beautiful. I loved the look of everything that came out of the kitchen. Our Pad Thai was no different. We both said "wow" when our food was set down. I was upset that I couldn't dive into my pad Thai. I tried but I'm pretty sure they use lava to cook food, lol. No problem, we still had appetizers to finish. After some chatting and waiting, finally, our food cooled down enough and I dove in head first. The prawns were cooked perfectly and the Pad Thai was one of the best I've ever had. I've eaten pad Thai at restaurants from Gresham to the coast and Zab has it figured out. The sauce was almost like butter in flavor. I wondered if they actually used butter. I wanted to ask but, sometimes it's the mystery that brings me back. After seeing all the curry other people ordered. My Wife and I are already wanting to come back for the curry. There is a bunch of items I want to try. Basically I want to eat everything on the menu at least one time.

Wanted to eat before doing some shopping. My friend was craving thai food, so luckily there was one here we could try. There was a menu with a bunch of lunch specials, which I believe runs till 2:30. The Pad thai tom yum caught my eye as I had never seen that on a menu before. They offer several different options for what you can add to it. I went with the chicken spice level medium, but they also had options like pork belly & seafood which you don't see offered often. Wow, this was really good! It was like pad thai noodles, but with the tom yum flavor. So flavorful & the medium spice was perfect. Portion was big enough to where I could take the other home. Service was good & I'd definitely order that again.

* 1B. Shrimp Salad Roll *
Roni S.

Great decor and a really inviting atmosphere. I ordered the pineapple curry, it was full of flavor with just the right level of spice. The shrimp salad rolls were solid, and the portions were generous. Service was friendly and attentive as well.

Zabpinto Thai is perfect for fast, authentic Thai food. They have a large dining area great for parties of all sizes, and they have a large takeout business as well. Highly recommend the spring rolls (veggie filled, crispy and comes with duck sauce) and the green curry with chicken. Spring rolls came out piping hot, and the green curry is comfortably spicy and filled with bamboo shoots, eggplant, and bell peppers. Fast, easy and good food.

Papaya salad with fermented crab. Delish!!
Patricia K.

Delicious authentic Thai food. Definitely might go to when I'm in PDX. can't highly recommend this enough.

What's up Yelpies If you wish to be Thaied up for an hour or so there is no better place than this one. The food is delicious and the owners are amazing. So chill you will forget your eating out at a restaurant

As soon as I walked through the door, I could hear Jen greeting me, and she was so welcoming. When I asked how long they had been open, she informed me that it was their fifth week and also let me know about their other locations and their hours. I come to PDX frequently and stay at the Aloft hotel, which is about a 5-minute walk from here. I love Thai food, so I was pleasantly surprised when a friend told me they had opened! I ordered my usuals: Thai iced tea, salad rolls with chicken, and chicken Pad See Ew. Jen immediately brought out my Thai iced tea with the perfect tea-to-cream ratio, and within minutes, the salad rolls arrived. The rolls came with peanut sauce and another green sauce. I'm not sure what the green sauce was, but it was creamy and delicious (I forgot to ask what it was, but it was amazing)! Next was my main course, Pad See Ew. I would say the presentation was awesome, and the noodles had to be the freshest I've ever had in that dish! The flavor was spot on and probably the best I've ever eaten. If you live or work near Cascade Station, please eat here! It's the newest location, and I want to make sure they have plenty of business so they stick around for a long time. I know I'll be eating there every time I come to town!

Asked for extra fish sauce. This is what I got. Do they not use fish sauce in their pad see  eww? Not good.
Toby J.

Nothing special, should have known when I ordered extra fish sauce it came in a packet. Servers were fantastic though.

Pork soup sour and spicy.

Very good authentic Thai food. Good place to sit down and eat staffs are friendly. bathroom is clean. Very close to IKEA store by the airport.

13. Papaya Salad
John S.

Ok, so I drove to Portland thinking my go to Thai restaurant was open today but it was closed. Needed an alternate near by as authentic as my go to spot. Searched for Thai restaurants near me and Pad Pinto Thai was one of the first restaurants that came up and had the best rating. It was 7 minutes away - let's go for it! I tell you, I am glad that I did. It is in the Cascade Station. Parking lot was packed but I found a space directly in sight of the restaurant (go figure). The place is nice! Great decor! Spacious! Bright! I was warmly welcomed and seated then served water in a nice glass. I looked over than menu and in my experience if it's really an authentic Thai place - there's an altar/shrine (yes), the green papaya salad is served with a wedge of cabbage, and the red curry is good. I ordered the papaya salad and the red curry with chicken. Yes! Authentic Thai! It satisfied the taste I was craving (not 100% but close enough). Friendly atmosphere. Fast service! Portion size was good. Price was only a few dollars more than usual but I bet they pay higher rent in their location. Authentic Thai! Fully stocked bar (I don't drink) for those who do drink. I had the Thai Iced green tea with coconut milk. Delicious! This place will be an Alternate go to spot especially when I'm flying out from PDX!

Really cute inside

HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND…read more This was hands down some of the best food I've ever had. The server was outstanding and had us cracking up the whole time. ( guy in glasses) we came here for my husbands birthday and it was amazing service and food. From the moment we walked in until the moment we left everything was great!! The drinks were delicious. We ordered almost everything off the menu because we couldn't decide. The chicken was AMAZING. I can't wait to come back!

Was intrigued to try Eem because I saw that they have a burnt ends curry. Hubs & I dined in for…read morelunner, and there was a small wait at around 4:15pm already & a line was forming outside before 5pm! We were glad we came when we did...anyway, onto the food+drink! -Life of Luxury Cocktail, this thing was served in a HUGE fish cup, lol! Bigger than my hand/as big as my face. It's on the sweet side, but I needed something sweet as a buffer since some of the dishes we ordered were a bit too salty. -Thai-Style Ceviche, 11/10. No friggin' notes. I highly recommend. Portion is a bit small, because I could have eaten MORE. -Sweet & Sour Fried Chicken was decent. We ordered the Small and it was about 5-6 boneless pieces. Very unique. I recommend to try if you like fried chicken. -Wok-Fried Yu Choy was wayyyy tooooo salty. Hubs & I wanted some greens and it was fried with generous amounts of garlic, but it just got saltier and saltier as we ate it. -White Curry w/ Brisket Burnt Ends, this dish was a little bit of a mixed bag. The white curry (roasted cauliflower + coconut cream) was delicious, but did it pair well with the Brisket Burnt Ends? Not really IMO. I don't think the flavors match. I'm not exactly sure what would pair well with the white curry, maybe some veg or tofu...but BBQ fusion with the curry wasn't the best. 2 unisex restrooms available, the one I used was clean. Service was a little scattered. We got the Yu-Choy first, followed by the ceviche a few minutes later. But the Fried Chicken and White Curry took a while to come (about another 10-15 mins. to come). We were lucky to find some street parking in the neighborhood nearby.

Easily the best Thai BBQ I've had! Each part of the meal pairs perfectly well with each other and…read moreis packed with immense flavor. Khao Moo Dang Pi-Set (5/5): Upgrading to the Pi-Set is worth the extra $3, which comes with all the standard options plus extra eggs, juicy dumplings, tender yu choy, and a side of bone broth. The five-spice pork is super tender and tastes very similar to char siu. The pork belly had a great crunch and was perfectly salty, which contrasted well with the sweet Chinese sausage. The dumplings are really juicy and justify the upgrade on its own, in addition to complementing the side of bone broth. Everything ties together when coated in their signature Khao Moo Dang sauce, which rounds out the rich meats with the perfect amount of sweetness. Logistics Tip: Takeout packaging holds up well, keeping the crispy pork belly from getting soggy on the ride home while ensuring the broth stays piping hot. Upgrading to the Pi-Set version further improves an already generous meal into an expansive dish that can easily satisfy a huge appetite.

Been here twice on my past two trips to Portland …read more. The food is pretty darn good -- and pricing is also pretty fair for what it is. However, -2 stars for the last time I was there .. I was with my brother, and he had tipped them well. It was later in the evening and people were hawking our table .. and we weren't aware it was "bus" your town table, felt the need to give up our table quickly and we were already on the street and a male waiter literally ran after us to let us know where we could put our dishes? .. Ok, bro, I get it but was that necessary? Why do you guys want to be tipped 25% and when someone makes a mistake, you run after them to tell them to bus their own table? Wasn't that MORE effort than just doing it yourself and saving your PAYING customers from embarassment? Not sure if I would come back and dine-in again .. Pretty turned off and taken aback. Take-out is definitely on the table but please give your paying customers a break and some empathy.

We remembered Thai Peacock as good. Several years and one approaching curtain time later, we…read moredecided to see whether memory had been seasoning the evidence. The friendly staff promptly showed us to our table. A QR code stood in for the menu, an arrangement I tolerate rather than celebrate. One quick request produced printed menus and restored diplomatic relations. We began with shrimp salad rolls, which arrived remarkably quickly, with crisp, fresh vegetables. The accompanying peanut sauce was flavorful without being thick or ponderous. Frankly, the only thing preventing me from drinking it was a lingering respect for table manners. My spouse ordered the Egg Noodle & Basil Stir-Fry, generously loaded with shrimp. I chose the House Thai Peacock Curry with tofu. Its combination of Panang curry and peanut sauce was rich and intriguing, with just enough spice to keep each bite interesting without turning dinner into a test of character. The food arrived quickly, our server remained friendly, and the lively atmosphere made Thai Peacock an excellent choice before a show at Portland Center Stage. The restaurant we remembered fondly is now firmly back on our list. Thai Peacock earned an encore.

How do I know about this restaurant?…read more For a very brief period of time, I decided to DoorDash... on a bicycle. It was very brief, due to the fact that Portland's hills are... well, I'm in a good shape, but I won't be in the Tour De France. A side benefit is that I learned where a lot of good food in Portland resides: Thai Peacock and Little Peacock made up a fair amount of my orders. How much do I like Thai? So much that I learned to make it myself, and I make a better than average Pad See Ew/Kee Mao... So when it came time for a lunch break, well, I couldn't wait to order from Thai Peacock. I got the Pad Ka Phrao (there was not an option for super hot / Thai hot... my one complaint about their system... more on that in a minute)... and started walking. It was easy to pick up, well labeled, and hot when I arrived. The reusable bowl (for the paper bag crowd who are taking notes.. this is Portland ya know)... was full of delicious meat and vegetables. The rice was packed separately, along with the single serving of added sriracha. The serving was more than generous, and good in its preparation. There are some caveats here: Thai Peacock does not make their dishes in the same way that many other Thai restaurants do... they do it with minimal ingredients, hoping you'll add on vegetables. It gets annoying when you're looking at ordering pad se ew, and you might otherwise get a similar dish for $7-$10 cheaper. The lack of an ability to add additional heat is also unwelcome. However, I understand that each Thai restaurant has its own way of making a specific dish. The generous portions make the bare bones dish a good value, if not the best representation of the dish I've had. This would be 5* for a group meal (no shortage of options, and consistent service), and 4* based on comparison to other Thai dishes at similar price points I've had. 5* here based on what most people would likely say. An extremely reliable restaurant with tasty food and generous portions deserves it.
