    "Chicken Teriyaki" - marinated & grilled with teriyaki sauce and a side salad
    Donovan H.

    Seattle offers its fair share of excellent Asian restaurants. Whether you're craving Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, or Laotian, this city offers a very diverse selection. So when I looked up for Thai restaurants with respectable Yelp reviews, "Pinto Thai Bistro & Sushi Bar" came up. Located in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle and directly on E. Broadway, this very popular restaurant is located directly in between E. Republican St. and E. Harrison St. And considering this place has been going strong since 2010, there's a reason why customers keep coming back here. One of which is their variety. They serve a ton of food on their menu. Which may or may not necessarily be a good thing. Here you will find your basic Thai dishes but also a very impressive sushi menu. Everything from classic Maki rolls (classic, veggie, & signature), Omakase (Nigiri or Sashimi), and other Japanese items including Teriyaki, Gyoka, Tataki, and Tempura. Finally, they have a nice assortment of soups, salads, pan fried noodles, fried rice, curries, and Wok Fares. The hours of operation are very respectable as they are open seven days a week from 11:30am to 9:30pm while being closed in between 3:00pm to 4:30pm during the week. And finally, they also have a Happy Hour that rolls out from 4:30pm to 6:00pm Monday through Friday. As far as the layout of this place, it is a bit on the smaller side so don't be surprised if you find yourself waiting for a table. However, this place does have a very modern, sleek look as well as being very cozy. During my visit, I arrived around 7:45pm during my visit as myself and my +1 were immediately seated. As far as what we ordered, I went with the "Pad See Eiw" with chicken as my protein of choice. This dish offers wide flat rice noodles stir-fried with eggs, carrots and broccoli in sweet soy sauce. My +1 went with their "Chicken Teriyaki" which was served with their signature house salad. Both our meals arrived within 10 minutes. The overall flavor, consistency, and value was definitely above average as this place serves very hearty portions and will definitely fill you up. Our waitress always made sure our iced waters were refilled which being very polite from the time we were seated until we left. If you're looking for that true Thai experience, I would suggest a few other popular restaurants such as "Buddha Ruska" or "Noi Thai Cuisine". But for a decent meal that offers a nice mix of Thai and sushi, I would definitely give "Pinto Thai Bistro & Sushi Bar" a try. My rating, four stars.

    Hawaiian Fried Rice, Satay, Evergreen Roll
    Miku T.

    tl;dr quick service and good food for takeout! I had gotten takeout from here as a quick night out because I was lazy to cook. I can say that the foods here were great and the takeout itself was ready super fast! I loved the evergreen rolls more than I did the satay - it had a minty taste along with the nice texture of the wrap and salad inside. It came with a great sweet-salty sauce that matched well. The satay was good - it just felt like dry chicken breasts though (the sauce was the redeeming factor). I think I would go with a different appetizer though. The Hawaiian fried rice was great - I had enough for lunch the next day. I loved the flavor and the textures (I've never had full cashews inside in a fried rice!) I would try this place again in person - when I went to pick up at 7pm on a Monday, it was completely empty.

    Pad Thai
    Ana K S.

    I recently ordered pad Thai and their crispy garlic chicken to go and both dishes were delicious! The chicken was a little less crunchy and a bit more salty than I anticipated but it was super hearty and went really well with the vegetables on the side. The pad Thai was my favorite, I ordered it with chicken and spice level 3, which was spicy but not unbearably so. I ordered delivery directly from the website and had initially gotten an estimated 50min wait time but the food arrive within 20 minutes! I highly recommend checking this spot out, they have an extensive offering of dishes so they're bound to have something for everyone!

    HH sushi rolls: Lava Roll, Ebi tempura roll, and Spicy Tuna Roll
    Doris W.

    Came here last night with friends for dinner and ordered off their Happy Hour menu, which I think saw goes until 6 PM. The HH menu has more sushi than Thai food on it, but overall it was a good sized HH menu! We were a group of 5, and for a Tuesday night, at one point, we were the only ones eating at the restaurant. We ordered: - Red Chicken Curry $11 - Pad Thai Chicken $11 x2 - Spicy Tuna Roll - Lava Roll - Ebi Tempura Roll - edemame - crab rangoon x2 - albacore tataki The Pad Thai and the Red Curry were delicious, and everyone at the table enjoyed both Thai dishes! The Albacore tataki was the only thing not on HH menu, and I thought it was just ok. The sushi was good, nothing overly amazing, but we were glad the Thai food came out first, and the sushi rolls came out later. Overall, we had a pleasant experience here, and I would come back!

    Ordered takeout on a Saturday night for celebrating our 1 yr anniversary at home and it was wonderful!! For apps we did the spring rolls (4/5)and crab Rangoon(5/5)!! For rolls we did the Spider roll, Dragon Roll, and lava roll. All were delicious and fresh!! We even got the mango sticky rice for dessert and it was some of the best we had ever had. Not a single bite was leftover! If your needing an excellent sushi place this is it! We will absolutely be back!

    California roll
    Huong L.

    I decided to check this place out for lunch since it's close to work and it definitely exceeded my expectations. For one: their lunch deal is really good. It's rare to find lunch for around $10 now so this place caught my eye definitely. I got the ginger chicken with no rice and it was $10.50. since I didn't get rice, they gave me extra salad. The portions were pretty good. The dressings was a little weird but it's not bad. Portion was good too. I also got a California roll and surprisingly it was good. It's interesting to have a Thai and sushi place and do both pretty well but this place did it well. Overall, definitely will be back for lunch or going to try their happy hour soon.

We started with a Lilikoi Margarita and Ginger Martini as well as Fresh Garden Rolls, which were quite generous in size (4 large pieces) and very good. Drinks were very good! We enjoyed Pad Thai and Pad Kee Mao. Pad Thai is a staple and was good, but if you want something that has a ton of flavor and a nice mix of noodles and veggies, check out their drunken noodle dish Pad Kee Mao. Appreciate you can customize heat level as well. Overall the vibe in this place is awesome! We had hoped to sit outside, but didn't make reservations, so were sat in the back dining area. It was very hot back there - not sure that is an everyday type thing, but next time I go I would wait for a different part of the restaurant than sit there. Service was super quick and attentive!

It is one of the…read morebest Thai restaurants in Seattle and is certified as Thai Select which certifies its Thai authenticity. They have locations both in Downtown Seattle and Greenlake, but I have only been to their Downtown Seattle location which has a beautiful view of the Puget Sound. The atmosphere is dark, trendy, and modern- perfect for a date night or nice evening out. While they are a white table cloth, sit-down restaurant, you can dress casually or dress up a bit - both are completely acceptable. This most recent visit I ordered the COCONUT PANANG CURRY with chicken ($25.95) and my friend ordered her favorite dish, SALMON GARLIC FRIED RICE ($28.95). On a past visit, I've had their CLAY POT SHRIMP & GLASS NOODLES (KOONG OB WOONSEN) ($27.95) which was absolutely fantastic and has had me hooked on Pad Woonsen ever since! I saw the COCONUT PANANG CURRY recently in my Instagram feed and knew I had to get it. It is served in a whole coconut (yes a real, fresh coconut!) and comes with a champagne flute of fresh coconut juice from the coconut they hollowed out and a side of Jasmine rice. The curry was rich, flavorful, and full of Thai basil and peppers. The coconut juice was light and refreshing and a great contrast to the thick curry. The SALMON GARLIC FRIED RICE (which I've sampled before), is gigantic, aromatic, and served with a giant grilled garlic butter fillet of salmon on top. The salmon is extremely moist, oily, and bursting with flavor. The rice is fragrant and has garlic paste, red bell pepper, carrots, and green onion. If you're looking for a tasty and protein-packed meal, this is the dish! Parking is honestly tough in this area as it's located on 1st. They have limited street parking and a few paid parking garage options around. I recommend light railing or Ubering here if you're not already in the downtown Seattle area. Service is always great and we always get our food quickly, no matter how crowded they are. The staff also take the time to check up on your table during your meal. Overall: 5/5 for food, 5/5 for service, 5/5 for atmosphere

When entering they had a live keyboardist and singer playing Valerie which I was a fan of. We stopped in at 10pm on a week night and were sat right away and service was prompt and friendly.

My boyfriend thought the sauce that came with the calamari was too spicy for his liking but for me it was super sweet and paired perfectly with the calamari. We enjoyed the appetizer thoroughly and I would say it was my favorite part of the meal. My man ordered his favorite Thai dish Panang chicken Curry spice level 1.

The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and we were looking forward to the bold flavors we've come to love. The visit started off a bit oddly. The front desk server, Tar, asked to see my wife's ID--even though she's 36 years old and we weren't seated in the bar area. It felt inconsistent, especially since younger guests nearby weren't asked, and it's something we've never experienced at their other locations. Unfortunately, moments like that made us feel singled out, and honestly it sometimes feels like they tend to pick on Asians, whether intentional or not. That feeling alone made the experience uncomfortable and will likely make this our last visit to this location. That said, the table service was excellent. Moo took great care of us, and Cece from the bar was attentive and kept our water filled throughout the meal. Unfortunately, there were a few moments that took away from the experience. While I was taking photos of our dishes, a young staff member alongside Tar appeared to be giggling and mocking me, which made things uncomfortable. It may not have been intentional, but it didn't feel professional and only added to the awkward atmosphere we already felt. Food-wise, there were some inconsistencies. The chicken didn't taste as good as we remember, and several plates had visible fingerprints, which was off-putting. The galvanized metal plates also gave off a slightly unrefined feel--more like cafeteria-style serving ware. Additionally, the sticky rice, which is usually presented in a traditional bamboo basket, was served in a Ziploc bag, which felt like a downgrade in presentation. On a positive note, the papaya salad and pad Thai were still very good and delivered the flavors we expect. We'll continue supporting Isarn, but we'll likely return to the Kirkland or Lynnwood locations next time. Sadly, after this experience, this Queen Anne visit will probably be our last.
