Delicious Asian Fusion! We sat outside on the sidewalk. I got the Kee Mao Ramen Noodle medium spicy. The noodles are dry, but they soak up so much flavor. I love all of the vegetables on it. We got dessert too. The Thai Tea cheesecake and the mango cake. Between the two, the mango cake was more delicious! I love the mango jelly or purée that was on top.
I first have to absolutely tell you that I'm 100% biased. I love the original Pin Wok Bowl restaurant in St. Petersburg. I know this restaurant is run by the same group. There's no way I could hate this restaurant. This new restaurant has a surprisingly different menu. They have a really cool lunch special that allows you to choose many small dishes -- A really nice concept. I ordered everything from sushi to sashimi, eggrolls to appetizers, and even noodles to salads. A very big selection. My wife joined me for lunch so that opened up the possibilities to even more. The bad news... We went two days after a major hurricane in the area. I really think that affected the service. We got a seat pretty quickly, but after that it was downhill for service. Definitely not a quick lunch spot if that's what you're looking for... or at least not post hurricane. The food was good as I would expect... BUT some dishes were hot, some a little warm, and some were just darn cold. I'll definitely have to give this restaurant another shot when mother nature's wrath isn't affecting the service.
While I miss the days of Chaing Mai at this location and I resisted going to Pin On Cafe until 9/15/2023, I was happily surprised with the replacement restaurant and it's offerings. Chaing Mai will always hold a special place in my heart, but I will be returning to Pin On Cafe. I went for lunch with friends from work and everyone was thoroughly pleased with their lunch. Each of us got the lunch special which allows you to pick a base, protein and sides. We each got the small except one in the bunch got the medium and we were all jealous at the variety on her butcher board "plate." Each item- from the sushi, to the proteins- were fresh and tasty. Those who ordered Thai tea loved it (I am not a fan). The spring rolls were a hit as was the tofu! I do not think you can go wrong with anything here. I do want to go back and try the Khao Sao, as it is a favorite of mine and you cannot find it many places. I will let you know once I try it! Great service- quick and friendly! Highly recommended!!!!
Cute spot in downtown St. Pete with indoor and outdoor seating. Everyone at the restaurant was very kind and the service was fast. We ordered a variety of appetizers, onigiri, and sushi, all of which were beautifully plated and, most importantly, tasted great. We've since ordered from them via UberEats and the food was still excellent. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town to try some of their other menu options. Their Thai iced tea was also really good!
4.5 stars Nice little restaurant that serves thai-ish food. The inside is small-ish so when we got there (3pm on a saturday) they were full inside and we got seated outside. But once the inside cleared up they offered us the option to move indoors. The decor and ambiance/setting is mid but honestly that kinda seems like a mark of authenticity in ethnic restaurants if you know what I mean. I got the Thai Basil rice bowl with tofu ($15?? i dont remember) and 4 onigiri (2 for $7). For the onigiri we got the tuna and avocado, salmon and avocado, seaweed salad and edamame, and spicy krab. The onigiri were delicious, the rice was well seasoned and there was a decent amount of filling. Perhaps it could do with more filling since the entire first bite was mostly rice. The thai basil rice was yummy, good flavor and good portion, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Kind of wish there was more sauce though. The veggies and tofu were cooked into the sauce but there wasn't a whole lot of extra sauce for me to mix into the rice. The tofu was a good texture. My gf got the kee mao ramen and it definitely had quite a kick to it so be warned but the flavor was very good. All in all, the food was quite flavorful and yummy and not for a bad price either. The staff was very nice and it was an overall pleasant experience.
Outside dog friendly. Server gave our dog some water without us asking. We love that! Food was great! Wife had the duck soup. Amazing!!! We have had duck before at a lot of places including Asian countries and this was right up there with the best. I had the raw tuna sandwich. Tuna was fresh. Though it was enjoyable I ended up eating the insides of the sandwich and it eating the bread just because the amount of tuna wasn't quite balanced with the size of the bread given. I would order again for sure. Great drink prices!!$4 domestic. Can't beat that.
No frills Asian spot within walking distance of the Trop. Edamame was steamed & plentiful, Pad Thai was good, tho a tad on the sweeter side. Portions & prices fair.
Pin On Cafe is a solid Asian-fusion spot in a great location right on central ave in st pete. I got the Yaki Udon and my girlfriend got the Panang Curry. I liked my noodles a lot and my girlfriend said her curry was good as well. The service was nice as is it is quite a small restaurant so they were able to stay on top of each table even though it was a busy Friday night. Overall a good experience, would definitely come back!
They have moved. Still on Central avenue but now corner of 25th street. And still excellent food.
Have been dying to check out this place and finally did! It did not disappoint. I ordered the Touch Down roll, which is Salmon, cream cheese, avocado, krab, topped with spicy mayo, eel sauce, masago, scallion and sesame seed. Also, I ordered the Tiger Eyes Roll, which is Salmon, tuna, cream cheese, avocado, topped with tuna, salmon, masago, scallion, flake, eel sauce and spicy mayo. Both rolls were amazing! Everything was very fresh and flavorful. The service was also excellent. Indoor and outdoor seating available.
My revisit is very rewarding. This time I brought my family here and we order lunch specials. Delight special combo is valuable on quantity and choices. We use to go with the largest lunch combo with 2 bases 3 proteins and 3 sides. The presentation of the lunch special is awesome on wood board. I have the fried rice and stir fry noodle as base, tuna and salmon sashimi and grilled pork as protein. The side is fried sushi roll, gyoza, and seaweed salad as side. It fill up the entire board. It is awesome to see that. We also got chicken curry which is taste good too. For the drink we have the strawberry mango smoothie and blue pineapple banana smoothie. Both drink are interesting. We have a dog with us so we sit outside. Dog friendly restaurant.
Looks like Pin On Cafe has some great lunch specials where you can pick your base, proteins, and sides (options to select sushi rolls too)! I actually ordered from UberEats for dinner and I was pretty satisfied with my meal. What I ordered: - Edamame - Fried Veggie Spring Rolls - Fried Pork Potstickers - Yaki Udon with Chicken Katsu - Spicy Kee Mao Noodles
We went to a Ray's game and we're looking for something within walking distance before driving home. I saw this spot on Yelp and we decided to go. From the outside it's a little unassuming but it had great reviews. Everyone was so kind there. We ordered the Firecracker roll and Mexican roll. It was delicious! The Firecracker is a deep fried roll that is LIGHTLY battered, which I prefer. It was so good that we will definitely be back when we are in the area!

Food is always 10/10. Their lunch deal is almost unrivaled for a spot off Central Ave. indoor and outdoor seating available. Great speedy and polite service. Love love love this place. read more
Well, we really wanted to like it, but sadly they fell a little short. The menu is vast, and covers a lot of ground- so lots of people can find stuff they like, and I think the size of the menu impacts the quality of the dishes. We had the Ahi tuna appetizer, which was best described as not very inspiring. Sauce was bland, but the presentation was beautiful. The Tom kha soup was the winner of the night/ with a flavorful broth that was packed full of ingredients. This dish I recommend. Tried the Big Hut Sushi Stack, and this is another one that was tasty and constructed nicely. The cucumbers were sliced too large to eat with the rest of the dish, and the onions were way overpowering. I would rate this a 4 out of 5. Good quality ingredients, but just missing a little. For sushi, they only have Tuna, Salmon and Eel served as sashimi or in rolls; interestingly, they do not serve any nigiri, so this really isn't a sushi restaurant. Fried rice was a large portion that was good, but not great. Thai iced tea was also nice and enjoyable. They are close, perhaps if they shrank the menu, they would be able to make some memorable dishes read more

I ordered food here through UberEats. My fiancé ordered the duck pad Thai and it was fire! It was delicious, full of spices and flavors. The duck was meaty, crispy and tender. I love how this restaurant has the choice of duck pad Thai. He also got Unagi Volcano Bomb. It was a big portion and very filling. Lots of sauces and it even came in one piece! They packed it so well that it didn't fall over or move during the transition. I also ordered the udon tofu mushroom soup. It was very good as well but salty. If you like salty soups, this one is for you! I wish they didn't use fried tofu because of the grease but it did bring out the flavor of the broth more. I also recommend the pork noodle soup. This one is less salty and it was my favorite. It is a mix between ramen and pho. Really enjoyable! The delivery came very quick and I was pleased with my orders. Can't wait to order again or dine here in person! read more

First visit as a local. Cute place with seating out doors on a corner where the Edge district is hopping now. Good Thai favorites large portions. Great prices. Service was prompt and attentive. We had Pang Yang Curry, Phad Thai, Spring Rolls. Food was fresh and cooked to order. read more
I can't believe I haven't reviewed PinOn yet! I love this place! This is my lunch treat if I'm in the downtown area. I usually get the large lunch so I have leftovers to take home. My favs are: fried rice beef chicken katsu chicken soup mixed veggies veggies potstickers The staff is always friendly and the food comes out quick enough that you could take a lunch break and make it back to work on time. read more
What a great lunch special .Need a place to grab lunch, this is your spot . They have 3 option small which is one base, one protein and on side for $9, medium, one base , 2 proteins , 2 sides and the large for $13 is 2 bases , 3 proteins , and 3 sides. Such a great deal! Needless to say I've only been in for the lunch special . I'm normally not a creature of habit but I can't resist this great deal that includes delicious food and a really good portions. I usually get the brown rice with shredded pork and grilled steak with double stirfry veggies. The pork is flavorful , the steak is tender and juicy and the veggies are cooked just right.Typing this makes me want to go get this lunch special right now ...yum! My friends usually get the seafood options , but m not a seafood fan. I did taste the tuna it was fresh so no fishy taste and good. If you haven't been there, stop in for their lunch special and you'll be hooked. read more
We decided to stop in based on the great Yelp reviews, and I'm glad we did. There is free 2-hr parking out front, but this area was busy at lunch time, and we were lucky to find a close spot. The restaurant was empty inside when we arrived, although there were a couple of people eating outside. We chose to eat inside (A/C please!) and had our choice of tables. The server came right over and in no time we had menus and water. They have an excellent lunch menu where you can make your own combo of protein, base, and side dishes, but I went with a ready-made salad on their regular menu. It's called the Hot Poke Salad, but I asked them if they could make it non-hot, and they easily complied. The salad was fresh and delicious, with plenty of poke. I did think the raw onions were a bit odd, but other than that I loved the salad. Food was great, service was friendly and efficient, and the setting was comfortable; I would definitely eat here again. read more
I ordered from here via Uber eats. I love pin wok grill so thought I'd give this place a try. I ordered 3 appetizers and a roll. I ordered seaweed salad, miso soup with mushrooms, edamame and a spicy tuna roll. The soup was my favorite thing, I love the mushroom addition. The edamame was surely not fresh and I was surprised at how little I got, nonetheless, it was tasty. The seaweed was a good size and came with cucumber too. I thought it was easy too sweet though. Lastly the roll was pretty good and tasty, not as spicy as I would hope. Nonetheless, tasty. I'll probably give this place another chance, maybe in person read more
Last week , we checked out Pin On Cafe for lunch. My buddy recommended the lunch special as you get to try a good selection of foods. We both went with the large lunch portion which included 2 bases, 3 proteins, and 3 sides. They were a bit busy, so our food took a bit to come out, but it looked great when it did. The portion size is pretty generous for $13. We sampled our way through our lunch selection and enjoyed the variety. It was fun to mix the different selections. Overall, we enjoyed our lunch and will be back. read more

THE BEST LUNCH SPECIAL IN ST.PETE! We love to come here for their lunch special boards. You can pick from three different sizes and it comes with options for bases, proteins and sides. You can't beat the price. With the small board for $10 I got fried rice, teriyaki tofu and a tuna roll. Their fried rice is made perfectly and I've liked everything I've ever tried. Definitely come try it and I can't wait to try their dinner options as well! read more

The entire reason we visited this eatery was to try their onigiri. We have been craving onigiri ever since we left Hawaii, and we were hoping that Pin On Cafe could scratch our itch. We were extremely let down to say the least, and blown away by the fact that they have such great reviews. The restaurant itself is extremely drab. It looked like it used to be an old Italian restaurant, and the establishment was very dingy on the inside. We began our dining experience by ordering a blue pineapple fresh fruit soda, and a plum wine. The blue pineapple soda was good, but extremely sweet. The sweetness was cut down when the ice melted, and then it was a nice drink. The plum wine was awful, we were not even sure what it was. Definitely not plum wine, just some cheaply flavored beverage. Then came our onigiri. We tried the pickled cucumber and red cabbage, seaweed salad and edamame, spicy tuna, and spicy shrimp. Each and every onigiri severely struggled with its rice to filling ratio. Some had almost no filling, but most had about a pinch of filling. The spicy tuna sadly was extremely fishy, and the spicy shrimp had a texture that was comparable to a rubber band. The rice itself was completely flavorless. Clearly not seasoned at all. The saving grace of our meal was the pork yaki udon. The dish was delightful. Pristinely seasoned and the noodles were cooked to perfection. Our waitress, Sandra, was absolutely fantastic. Very kind and helpful. If it weren't for the yaki udon and our lovely waitress, this experience would have been an absolute flop. It is sad that the onigiri was so awful, especially because it was frequently mentioned as a "must try" at this restaurant. The lack of fresh ingredients deters us from wanting to try Pin On Cafe again. read more

We stopped by this hidden gem on the corner during a busy Saturday. We were hungry after attending an event and this was perfect. I think they have a great lunch special! You can get a small, medium or large special that's sort of like a bento with different options. I got the medium lunch special. I picked one base, two proteins, and two sides. The medium was about $11 and a great price for the portion. My base was the Lo mein noodles, proteins teriyaki tofu and crab sticks, sides were a ginger salad and spicy tuna sushi. All delicious and fresh. It's perfect if you are not sure what you want and want to try a little bit of everything. read more

This is my first time coming to this restaurant. It is the best Thai food u ever had. The price is little bit up there, but food portion is the best in the world. I wish I had the lunch special as of right, but I was too late for that. Come to this restaurant you will not be disappointed at all read more

We had plans to grab something light and do some work somewhere else but the place we wanted to go to was closed. Looking around the area, we took a chance on the place next door and did not regret it. The service was very fast and very nice. I was surprised how fast we got our appetizers and meals. The food was great. The prices were reasonably good. The place place in general was chill. I will be coming back to try more of the menu and definitely would recommend. read more

I decided to try a newer spot to order food from on a Friday night. I ordered delivery so I didn't have a chance to visit the physical location. I ordered the tiger eye roll (sushi) and their Thai fried rice with shrimp. They were a little bit higher on the price point - the sushi roll was $15 and the rice was $17, however they were both good. The tiger eye roll had a lot of good flavor and was very filling. That is probably a meal just on it's own! The fried rice was good, I think it could have maybe had a little bit more flavor and this might be nit picky but I don't like when the tails are left on the shrimp as I then have to remove them. Overall though it was very good, not too greasy and had a good selection of veggies in it. I'll definitely be trying more from here! read more

I wanted to try this place forever but my girl isn't a fan of sushi. Today's visit to the Pin On Cafe changed her mind. Half way thru our meal she said, "we're coming here a lot because this is the best Pad Thai I've ever had." So it's not just a sushi place. We ordered a "Cupid's Arrow" after our other food and I forgot to take s pic. It was evidently a special for valentines day and was absolutely amazing. It sounded like a fried bagle roll but when they brought it, the salmon was on the side in a spicy orange sauce. I'm gonna beg them to make it for me every time I come here. Our Onigiri was fried and yours can be too for an extra $2. The Tiger Eye Roll was my favorite. read more
Stopped here for lunch, and ordered off the Lunch Special Menu, and for the items we selected, which we shared, it was very satisfying and filling. You can get a small, medium, or large. We got the large, which was a choice of 2 bases, 3 proteins, and 3 sides, for $13. We chose lo mein noodles, fried rice, chicken katsu, beef, tuna sashimi, California roll, spicy tuna roll, and a firecracker roll, and it was a lot of food. The lo mein noodles were a little too soft for my liking, which was the reason for my one star deduction. Everything else was tasty, especially the crispy fried chicken katsu, the tender beef, the fresh tuna sashimi, and the fried firecracker roll. With a craft beer and a Perrier, our tab was shy of $25, including a $5 tip. We will definitely make a return trip when on this side of the bay. read more
After my shift nearby, I was hungry, so I stopped in. I sat outside because the weather was pretty great. My waitress was a sweetheart. She helped me pick some items. I went with the Big Hut sushi stack, a couple Onigiri, Thai original wings, and duck ramen soup. The Big Hut was delicious but difficult to eat. You can't cut through it with a fork because the veggies but it is too big to try to bite. The Onigiri just aren't really my style. It was a lot of rice. I enjoyed the wings. I think I would try the other wings next time. The duck ramen had an amazing flavor but the duck was not crispy at all by the time I got to it since it was fully in the broth. I enjoyed my meal and like that this place is in the EDGE district. read more
