    Sushi

    This is our new FAVORITE restaurant!! We drive over an hour to visit. Everything we've ever ordered is exceptional! Customer service is fabulous, too. A+

    Naruto roll,  Khao Grapow Moo Krob and Thai lime tea.

    Drink was on point. Food was also great. Pork belly was seasoned just right, very crunchy and juice as well

    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!!!

    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.

    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.

    Avocado seafood salad. Always perfect. Love this place.

    Curry Fried Rice with Tofu Green Tea
    Billie C.

    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.

    Khao Grapow Moo Krob Special (pork belly) it was DELICIOUS

    Service was good, polite and patient. Food was delicious and flavorful! My family enjoyed every dish they got. No chance of a good pic, all 3 of our plates were empty and clean and we got the veggies spring rolls and the shrimp spring rolls (all were delicious!!) I would highly recommend this place.

    Chicken pad, Thai
    Nicole M.

    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. .

    Curry fried rice
    Heather S.

    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.

    Food wasn't good. Too expensive. If you want to spend big bucks on sushi go to cafe one 11 or misos.

    By far the best Thai food in the Tri Cities IMO. The staff is very friendly and the menu has dishes not found at other Thai places.

I'm honestly surprised it doesn't have a full five-star rating. The food is excellent--creative, high-quality gastropub fare that's easily some of the best we've had in the area. As newcomers, one of the biggest adjustments has been finding great restaurants, and Label has definitely filled that gap. We had a large group, and the service was outstanding from start to finish. Everyone's meal came out great, and not a single person left disappointed. To top it all off, the desserts were phenomenal and the perfect ending to a great meal. If you're looking for one of the best dining experiences in Johnson City, Label is absolutely worth a visit. We'll definitely be back!

The lady told me she didn't have change, and when I pulled out some coins, I assumed she meant she didn't have change in coins. I ended up giving her cash and change, and she said thank you. I then asked, "Can I get my change back?" because I was supposed to receive about $5 back. Apparently, she had assumed I was giving her a $5 tip on a $15 takeout order. To be clear, I was not. I understand tipping when someone is providing a service, but this was a takeout order--I walked in, picked up my food, and left. There was no table service or anything beyond handing me my order. She did have to go to the back to get my change and brought it back to me in $1 bills. The whole situation was just awkward and frustrating. Between the extremely small portion and the confusion over my change, I honestly wasn't impressed with the experience.

Everyone at our table received their food in a timely manner--except me. I ordered the hamachi kama and was told it would take about 20 minutes to bake, which I was completely fine with. However, after waiting... and waiting... and watching my entire family finish their meals, we were then told my order had been messed up because the restaurant got backed up and busy and would take another 10-15 minutes. At that point, nearly everyone was done eating, so I asked for my meal to be boxed to-go. We spoke with a manager, Chris, who apologized and told us the meal would be comped--which felt like an appropriate resolution given the situation. But after sitting there for almost TWO HOURS total, my husband and son went to follow up, only to be told that my order had been completely canceled. The reasoning? That they "weren't going to comp something and let you walk out with free food." That response was honestly shocking. I never asked for anything extra--just the meal I ordered, even if it had to be to-go at that point. Instead, I left without eating at all. The lack of communication, the excessive wait, and the way the situation was handled at the end completely ruined what was supposed to be a celebratory night. Really disappointing experience. We didn't even want to order the desserts we planned on ordering because at that point, they didn't deserve another dollar. The environment would've been enjoyable if we weren't focused on food missing and the lack of customer service.
