    N-3 Thai Pad Woon Sen w/tofu
    Cynthia E.

    I have to say unfortunately, while the server was very nice and it was a nice ambiance, overall my meal was lackluster. I ended up getting the pad woon sen - the glass noodles - and it was very bland. It also came out lukewarm. It had nice chunks of egg in it but overall, it didn't have much flavor. When I got home and heated the left overs, I added some soy sauce and lime to kick it up a notch and that helped. I'm not sure what happened there but maybe because it was a slow night, I just wasn't impressed. Maybe to there are other great menu items to try so maybe I'll be back!

    Came in 30 min before closing and the ladies were so sweet. Still sat us down and never rushed us one bit. The food tasted delicious, and portion is very generous. Soup had a lot of flavors, noodles were thick, shrimp was crunch and filled with sauce. Total bill was about $60 with tip included , price is very fair.

    BBQ pork. Delicious and the dip was amazing.

    Food was amazing, service was friendly and the restaurant is cute and very clean. I will be back when I return to the area .

    Love the ambiance/decor of this place. The food is also delicious. Attentive staff. We for the pad Thai and drunken noodles both were great!

    Ordered the N-1 Pad Thai wrapped eggs with shrimp to-go and to be honest it was a bit underwhelming. Not only was it $34 for 2 noodle dishes.. but It took 40+ minutes to have my order made and the sauce was way too sweet. If I was dinning in I would have definitely sent it back. I was hoping for a better taste given such great reviews. Maybe I came on an off day /:

    Tried the Pad Thai here and was pretty disappointed. It was bland overall and the chicken had a strange taste. Portion size was generous, but unfortunately, the quality didn't match the price ($16). Wouldn't recommend...

    I use to frequent pinto Thai quite a bit as I was living fairly close to it. But since I had moved last year, I hadn't been to pinto Thai for almost a year and a half, till recently. I am not sure what happened to the service and quality of food from the previous visits. Perhaps a change in management? We came here for lunch and the restaurant was empty. We seated ourselves and a young waiter came to take our orders. We went with a Thai chili beef and a basil fried rice with shrimp. The serving size were very small/petite. I almost felt like as if I was eating a kid's meal. We got spice level 4, and yes the food was hot and spicy, yet lacking taste. There was nothing that stood out about the dishes except that they looked like some protein stir fried with veggies and served with rice. There was no "soul" in the food. I hated the fact that they were not enough protein. Our service was very slow. I did not see the waiter till it was time for our checks. At that time, he got us our refills. We were ready to get the heck out of there. As there are numerous amounts of Thai restaurants in the city, this was probably my last visit to Pinto Thai.

We had to order take out on a Friday night because it was 10 mins before closing (9pm on Fridays) and they processed the order incredibly fast. All tables were full when we picked up so I'm sure busy nights will be a bit of a wait to get in. We asked for "medium" spice but the receipt had been defaulted to "mild" thank god. It was still a decent amount of spice and any more I would have probably been sweating like crazy. So I would recommend starting off with mild and go from there unless you are a glutton for punishing spice. Their mild seems to be more like medium / hot at an Americanized Thai joint. Pad Kee Mow with chopped chicken was delicious. Fresh crunchy green beans and bell peppers, onions and tomatoes perfectly cooked with the perfect spicy basil sauce. Noodles all had sauce on them. Large serving size and great price. We also got papaya salad which was just right and nice spice. I wish I could come here often and try everything else on the menu.

I wouldn't necessarily sit down here but if you want to you can. More of a grocery store than sit down restaurant. Khao soi gai: 7/10 This was so flavorful and delicious but definitely should have opted for the chicken instead of the soft shell crab I wasn't really a fan of the crab. Love the flavors and textures though. Definitely want to try with chicken and I recommend getting some rice on the side. Pad mama: 9/10 This had a really yummy vibrant flavor with a good amount of protein and leafy greens. Could be spicier I think the just gave us a random spice level. Overall really yummy and good portion for the prices but would love to retry with more spice in the dishes.

    I went with my husband during Houston Restaurant Week, and maybe that was my mistake…read more We got the Thai ice tea and Thai jasmine green tea for drinks, squid and tofu for appetizers, the crying tiger and kua kling for entrees, and the sticky rice with mango and the coconut ice cream for desserts. I can confidently say that I was disappointed. There was not one dish that stood out or that I would recommend or come back for. I especially was sad that the crying tiger flavors really missed the mark. The sticky rice that came with it felt like it was reheated and some parts were hard. It also tasted like some of the vegetables (green beans and carrots) that come with the entrees were frozen, not fresh. The jasmine green tea tastes like a powder mix. Some of the squid tasted freezer burned. The kua kling was the most interesting and unique of the dishes, but not one that I would go out of my way to eat again. The sticky rice with mango was as expected. The coconut ice cream is probably pre-portioned and frozen so was rock solid when it came out. I did not find most of the toppings particularly good. It was a busy Friday and I know service was busy. The food did not take long to come out, but we definitely had dishes from previous courses that stacked up, and we had to ask them to be taken away. They do have a high chair for toddlers and brought a plastic plate/utensils, but there was not a changing table in the bathroom we used. We have had such great experiences at other Thai restaurants in Houston that I would not come back.

It could easily reach that level. Our waitress, Ann, was incredibly kind, soft spoken, and welcoming. My friend Sherita suggested this restaurant after we left a Yelp office hour, and I'm so glad she did because it introduced me to something I never knew I needed: the salmon mango fried rice. It was absolutely amazing. I originally planned to take some home for my son to try, but it was so delicious that I finished every bite in one sitting. Sherita had visited earlier in the week and tonight shared that she arrived; right before I walked in which was 30 minutes before closing time, Jackie told her to hurry up and order, even though she already knew exactly what she wanted and didn't even need a menu. Jackie response was unprofessional and didn't even wait till the table guest got to the table, which was less than seconds since we all arrive at the same time, and left the same place. During our visit, Jackie never brought us water. A couple who was seated after us received water before we did. It took over 10 minutes for us to get water. Ann took great care of us, but anytime we wanted a refill, we had to ask. At one point my glass was completely empty. I noticed Jackie refilling the water glasses for a table of six, so I managed to get his attention. He looked directly at me, scanned the room, then stomped away all fast without acknowledging my request. Instead, he told Ann that we wanted water, and she graciously brought it over. Even at the end of our meal, Jackie stood behind the register while my friends waited to pay, yet another employee ended up taking their payment. His overall energy felt very cold and unwelcoming. My friend even joked that it was probably for the best that he didn't refill my water because of the energy he was carrying. As someone who believes water absorbs energy, I honestly agreed. I'm grateful Ann was the one who served us with such kindness. The restaurant itself has such a peaceful, zen atmosphere. The greenery outside and the warm lighting inside create a cozy neighborhood spot that I truly want to love and revisit with my son. Thank you , Sherita for introducing me and Aaliyah to this hidden gem. I completely understand why you visited twice in one week. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu, and hopefully next time the hospitality matches the quality of the food.
