First time trying this place after moving to the area a year ago. We were pleasantly surprised! The sushi was fresh and pretty much perfect. My husband had noodle bowl that was also fantastic. Looking forward to coming back. Friendly staff. read more

Still fantastic. Got rainbow roll sushi and some Thai. Super hot-spicy so careful--as the Thai Basil-medium hot came out nearly Thai hot. Very authentic --although sushi was small but fresh. Tried the Thai Lime Tea which was tasty and full of flavor. read more

Great food with great service. That will be our go to place to visit when we are in town.

I enjoyed a wonderful meal while in Johnson City this past week. Found this place on YELP and had to try it with all the wonderful reviews. Everything was very good except I didn't study the menu well enough to see that the wings were sweet instead of savory (but that was my fault). Go in and check them out!!! read more

If you are looking for something a little different Pinto can break the monotony of the same ole/ same ole. Their menu is varied and offers a lot choices. I ordered the Panang Curry Chicken(I added peas) and three vegetable spring rolls. I ordered it with a degree of heat of 1 (1 out of 4). The level one still had a kick! It was good. It was delivered in a metal pot along with a metal bowl of rice. The spring rolls were great. They were served with a dipping sauce. We all enjoyed our lunch. The portion size is gracious. The service was good. The Place was clean. They have a sanitation report hanging at their entrance with a sanitation grade of 98. read more

Don't follow GPS. GPS takes you to the back of the building and there's no entrance from that side. The big parking lot and complex just past McKinley (or just before depending on which way you're coming) is where you need to go. There is only one entrance so watch carefully. Once you find the right place, there is a large sign on the front of the restaurant. There is plenty of parking in the lot. I didn't notice any handicapped parking spaces but that's not the restaurant's fault. All parking is angled and you'll need to cross traffic lanes to get to the entrance. Walk up to the restaurant on the right. There are stairs and a ramp. Once you get to the top, turn left and enter. The order counter is straight ahead. The staff is friendly and I was greeted immediately. I ordered to go and it was ready in less than 15 minutes. The red curry was nicely spicy but not overwhelming (I ordered 2 on a scale of 4). There was a decent amount of ingredients and a lot of sauce. Flavor was very nice with the basil standing out and giving it a good balance. The rice was moist and slightly sticky. I will definitely be back to try more from the menu. They offer a wide variety and can satisfy any taste. read more

Our manager treated us out for associates appreciation day and we wanted some different. The food was really good

Found this restaurant while making a drop off at Wags to Riches. Next to Pike House Coffee Roasters. Pleasant interior and staff. Comfortable seating. Good Thai food. On this visit I tried the Curry Fried Rice with tofu--large portion! The green tea was tasty and comforting. My husband had the Chicken Teriyaki Lunch Special. There was lots of broccoli , but I didn't get the photo quick enough! The Thai Iced Tea came in a large glass. read more

Stumbled on this place when I was trying to find the coffee shop next door. So very glad we did, the place did not disappoint. Don't let the hole in the wall place fool you, they know how to make some delicious food. Started with Miso soup, followed by a delicious entrees. We both loved our delicious an stayed in the lil spot till we finished them (a rarely done thing) for us. We will be back next time we're in Jc. Cannot wait to try other menu items. read more

Service was good, polite and patient. Food was delicious and flavorful! My family enjoyed every dish they got.

So my daughter husband and I just ate here for dinner for the very first time today and altogether it was a good experience. There was only one woman who was serving but she did a great job. My daughter had the fried rice with chicken my husband had white rice with beef and bell peppers in a curry sauce and I had the chicken pad Thai, and we also shared the fried calamari as an appetizer.. (pictures included) To start off the fried calamari was pretty fresh with a very light and crispy dredge on it. I was hoping they were going to be the squids included, but it was just the calamari rings which is not a huge deal. There is a sweet chili sauce they serve it with which in my opinion was very generic and that's the first time I've ever had that type of sauce with calamari, so I'm not sure I would have it again. My daughters fried rice was OK. The flavor was a little different but it wasn't bad. My husband who had the rice with curry beef and bell peppers really enjoyed his meal and I have to say I'm not a fan of curry, but it was probably one of the best curries I've ever tasted, and the beef was nice and tender and I love that they put it in a little pot as you'll see in the picture which kept it nice and hot For the entire meal. I had the pad Thai, which I typically love, and I did eat every bite of it. Although the only downside was the sauce was a bit bland and didn't have enough flavor for my liking. When I took my first bite, I noticed that it was very light in flavor and as I continue eating it I noticed I needed more flavor from the sauce so that was a little disappointing, but other than that it was good.. My husband asked me if I would ever want to go back and I said yes, although I would probably try something different... The prices seemed a little on the high side to me, considering it was not an upscale restaurant, and nothing looked updated so that did surprise me But hopefully when I try something else, that might be a little bit better to my liking, the prices might match. I will say the food did come out a lot quicker than I was anticipating and it was very hot and everything tasted pretty fresh. I do know that a lot of restaurants around this area will lighten up their sauces, so they're not very spicy or potent and flavor and I understand that there are a lot of people that don't like that but when I go for this type of cuisine, I would like something more authentic with more flavor. . read more

I've gotten delivery twice. Once when they first opened and again last night. I was really craving a peanut dressing salad and they had one. I loved the environmentally friendly packaging with the paper carry out box. I would be willing to pay an upcharge for this. The food was fresh and of good quality. However, I found the Thai flavors weak and the food rather bland. Thai food has intense flavors of sweet, sour, and spicy. I found none of this. The peanut sauce was just peanut. In nothing I ate did I find the lime flavor I love or the sneaky spicy flavor from the Thai chilis. There are some really great Thai places in Kingsport and I never get down there anymore. I would love to find that quality Thai in JC, but I have yet to do so. The food has promise, it just needs more Thai spices and contrasts. I really hope they Thai it up because I would Love to eat their peanut sauce salad. It was a quality salad, but just needed the flavors. read more

First time here last week. Went for lunch on a Thursday as soon as they opened at 11am. We were the only people there whilst we ate (other than two people who picked up take out) Ordered the curry fried rice with tofu - taste was good, fair amount of tofu but, for $12 the portion was rather small. Couldn't have been more than a pint of rice total. My brother got the same but with chicken made with brown rice. I swear, he maybe got like 4 little thin pieces of chicken total. I was shocked. Not to mention his portion was even smaller than mine. And they charged his $2 more for the brown rice!! They did take the $2 off at checkout after my brother said something. The atmosphere was pleasant, clean, but slightly odd smell in the place (not food related) My brother will absolutely not return but I would be up for trying another dish and give it one more try. read more

Thai and Japanese cuisine shared under one roof. Things you should know: I. LOCATION Parking is very easy and stress free. There's a large open lot outside of the plaza Pinto is in. The only issue I encountered was Google Maps took me behind the building. It's off of Walnut St... If maps takes you off that, then you're headed in the wrong direction. Stay on Walnut Street and the red restaurant sign will steer you right. Hopefully that's something that can be fixed with maps. II. SERVICE Accomodating and excellent! Our waitress handled all our picky dietary needs well and with a positive attitude. She also carried good feedback with the menu and would ask the chef questions if there was a detail she didn't know the answer to. III. QUALITY The reason why I didn't give Pinto 5 stars. It was NOT BAD but it wasn't great either. My spring roll fell apart instantly. IV. CAPACITY For a Tuesday night, there was fair amount of seating available. read more

One of my most favorite sushi restaurants. Their Thai food is also great. For a good solid 6 months I came here every week with a friend. The owners are very nice and helpful. The employees are always nice. Everything is very clean. The lighting at night is very warm and cozy.. its a great date night restaurant.. it's sometimes cold in there so wear a light jacket if you're prone to being cold. It's best to go around 4-5 so it's not busy. Or before main meal times. Make sure to try iced Thai tea or Thai lime tea . Everyone I take here loves it! I recommend this to anyone. They also have alcohol but I've never tried it. read more

This is one of the best Thai places I've ever been. Unfortunately, if you order take out/door dash, any special instructions are ignored. We enjoy the food so much we have tried several times to eat it, but even small requests like no onions resulted in both white onions and scallions, one of which had never came in the pad thai until we asked for none. Also, if you order one of their teas with no ice, prepare to get a half filled glass that is smaller than what you get in the restaurant, dining in. To be completely fair, it's worth noting that their curries are flat out amazing. Order at your own risk. read more

Sticky floors upon arrival, sat ourselves. We have had the same exact meal several times...and have been delighted. This time, the chicken in the Pad Thai tasted burnt, or cooked on something filthy. The noodles absolutely were awful. We complained, but got zero acknowledgement from the waiter. In fact, when we left half the food, he asked if we wanted a to-go box! We thought about it, but were fearful of the Veterinarian bill afterwards. From hero, to zero we're afraid. read more

My pregnant wife wanted spring (fresh) rolls recently and so we called in a single order to Pinto, (fresh roll, miso soup, & Thai tea) she specified over the phone multiple times that she wanted the vegetarian option with tofu. When we arrived to pick up the food, the order had been made with shrimp. No problem, quick fix... (Or at least, it should have been.) While I understand that it was getting near to closing time, what we received after they "corrected" the mistake was honestly just insulting (see attached photo). They literally just cut open the rolls, pulled off the shrimp, and then proceeded to just carelessly throw the tofu on top, not even bothering to rewrap the rolls. So now we have a loose salad with tofu on top. For an order that was given an estimated 5 minutes to be prepared, why would you do this to your paying customers?!? Disgusted by the treatment. Certainly not going back after this. read more

First time to try their food, this is what I order. When I got the noodle soup, I can not find egg, so I asked the waitress, " I don't have any egg inside." Her answer was " we never put the eggs in this one" , I want to double check, so asked her give me the menu again, she said, the menu is incorrect. And asked me " What do you want?" I'm not familiar with their food, so just ordered something from the menu. The owner come out and said, " if you want eggs, I give you the eggs. That picture was the noodle with white, untasted , half-cut boiled egg. I'm very familiar with the dish in other restaurants. read more

One of the best Thai restaurants we've eaten at! The sushi was out of this world. We had the Miami Heat and another one with Tuna and they both were fantastic. I had the Panang Curry and my husband had the Red Curry and we both loved our meals. The service was excellent and the owner came out to see how we liked everything. The portions were so MUCH that we didn't have room for dessert. I felt the prices were great too, especially for the amount you are given. We will definitely be back! read more

First time here the place is large open with chairs and wooden booths which may I add uncomfortable the lady greeting also our waitress sat us the menu is large with a lot selection I went for the curried rice n chicken The taste was ok but the chicken was dry and lacking also note the size of the plate that's a standard size fork if the rice n chicken had been piled up ok but it wasn't probably not even a pint I spoke to the waitress about both the chicken being dry and how small the portion was nothing just a shrug of the shoulders I think she n her husband own and operate the establishment I kinda sensed a bit attitude so I won't be back also still being hungry I ate a sandwich at home huge letdown again reading reviews on yelp I don't recommend read more
