Tropical Grouper - this is made with Pineapple Curry. So good and such a huge serving so looking forward to leftovers
Rachel M.

Came here last night after the Xmas Tree lighting at Hyde Park Village. It was about 10 min away. This is a great spot because we don't have to worry about parking. They have their own parking in this plaza. Walked in here around 8:30 PM. They close at 10PM. A lot of places around closed earlier for a Thursday night from my search. It was empty, but people took food to go. We had the place to ourself. Nice and chill. We had two males assist us. One was new and shadowing. They were very nice and helpful. We went with the pad thai chicken and added shrimp. $3 more for shrimp for 5 of them. We asked for sweet and extra saucy and limes. Our dish was so big for both of us and it came out just perfect. We will def keep this in mind bc both of us loved their pad thai. I thought the prices were up there, and I figured bc of the area, but when we were able to split this one seeing how big it was, it was worth it for sure.

Pinto Thai
Jennifer J.

My friend and I were craving Thai food, and so we looked around on Yelp for some of the top rated Thai in the area. Pinto Thai popped up and we decided to give it a try. Booking a reservation online was so easy, and it didn't end up being a busy evening, as it was a Tuesday night, so we could have easily walked in, as well. The parking was easy and upon driving up, I instantly remembered that this location used to be Roux, a great New Orleans inspired restaurant where I used to frequent for brunch. The same tiled ceiling is still in placed but the remaining features of the restaurant have all changed. The space is open and inviting, and the bar at the entrance has been updated. Our server was friendly and helpful, and the menu is lengthy with plenty of great options. I ordered the fried tofu for our starter, and it was perfectly cooked and the dipping sauce was delicious! The tofu was as so plentiful that I ended up taking half the starter home. They definitely give you plenty! For our entrees, I ordered Panang Curry with steamed tofu and my friend ordered the Pineapple Fried Rice. Both dishes came out hot and smelled lovely, and the taste was out of this world! I ordered medium and it was the perfect spice level, and the curry was so flavorful and delicious! It may even be the best Panang Curry I've had in Tampa!

Massanman curry
Heather G.

The curries at Pinto always hits the spot! We tried the chicken satay this time which wasn't my favorite but I still will always come back for the Massanman curry. Our service was a little slow this visit but overall a good experience.

N2. Pad See-Ew
Chrissy D.

This place is INCREDIBLE!! Portion sizes are huge and their pad see ew was excellent! We went on a Friday night and the place was fairly empty which was honestly shocking to me. This is definitely my new go-to for thai whether it be dining in or takeout, especially for the amount you get!

I ordered a soup and a salad
Alicia P.

I have missed the boat on this one.... it's been here for a couple years now and I didn't even know it. I went in for take out one night and learned how long it had been open and my mouth almost dropped. Where have I been? Well, I finally made it in and ordered something to go. I got the Tum Kha chicken, it was definitely tasty, however, I'm sad that they did not use straw mushrooms. I believe traditionally those are the mushrooms that have always been in my Tum Kha at many other Thai restaurants all over and I feel like this is a cheaper route to go to save them some money (not the customer). Although the rest of the flavor and quality appeared there. I also had the Larb and although I really enjoyed it, the slice of cabbage through the head was useless as I couldn't put the larb ON the cabbage, you had to eat the cabbage by itself, basically - like a piece of bread on the side - but cabbage. Other than those 2 things, I still really liked the flavors and the young man behind the bar was also handling take out orders, he seemed to do it quite seamlessly and stress free. My order was ready in a short enough emoting of time, I took it home, it was hot, it was tasty and I enjoyed it! YUM!

F3. Duck on the Bay C1. Panang Curry
S C.

Amazing food, huge portions, super quiet environment. Panaang curry was super awesome - duck was pretty good too. Medium spice is honestly the best. Honor our military service members, and have great wait staff.

Singapore Noodle
Lolita D.

Singapore Noodles are like my all time favorite dish & Pinto Thai did not disappoint. I'm not a big fan of spicy food and usually Singapore noodles are always spicy but I LOVED that their noodles were full of flavor and I didn't even have to ask for a mild version. My partner had the Penang curry and I definitely had a few bites, while it was a big spicy it was full of flavor and absolutely delicious. I would definitely recommend and I would be back again. The space is peaceful and decorated nicely, the food came out super quick! I'd definitely return.

N3. Drunken Noodle with beef

First time having Thai food and I was so pleased. The drunken noodles are spectacular, I got mine with medium spice which wasn't too spicy. The texture of the noodles is to die for and the portion sizes are great. The food came out quickly and I was able to ask questions to the server about different food options and their recommendations.

Pad Thai Duck
Anna P.

Finally got to try Thai food in Tampa, and I'm so glad I did! I got the pad thai with duck, while my partner got the panang duck. The portion sizes are super generous here, and they didn't skimp on the meat either. I absolutely loved the noodles, super creamy with the perfect amount of acidity from the fish sauce. The duck was also amazing, the meat was super tender while the skin was crispy and juicy. I also got to try a sip of the watermelon margarita, and wow! I highly recommend, especially if you like drinks on the sweeter, fruitier side. Staff was super polite, and the food came out quickly. We came on a Saturday at 6 PM expecting it to be busy, but it was actually pretty peaceful inside with not too many people. If you want a quiet date night, this might be the place for you. I'll definitely be back soon!

Fresh Spring Roll
Jaimee M.

I came here on the hunt for drunken noodles and the noodles here were so good! The food came out steaming hot and very flavorful. The portions were decent for the price point. I would definitely recommend this Thai restaurant and will be back soon.

Since it was a little humid outside, we opted to sit inside with the AC. Here's what we ordered: I have their new coconut crusted grouper sandwich style with onion rings. The beer battered onion rings was also a good compliment to the sandwich and the batter was so light. We also had their lobster corndog with fries. These two entrées that we ordered are a must try when you visit this place. The service was pretty quick. They got a little busy towards the end, but the food comes very quickly hardly any wait at all! So if you're in the mood for some local seafood bites and you're in the ballast point Tampa Bay area this place is a must try. Highly recommend.

BIG RAYS FISH CAMP!!…read more BRFC- great name. Don't know what a fish camp is but I'm about it. Walked in after a long day in the sun, hoping for the best outcome. And boy did I get it. I was with a party of 9. Front of house was short staffed (one line soldier) she knocked out our orders with speed and efficiency and then started bussin down tables, allowing us to move tables together and all. Heck yeah. Food showed up in waves (made the fish feel at home) and lemme tell you a secret. That fish landed infront of me...I didn't look up, head down and dialed in. Perfect harmony of ingredients. I wouldn't change a thing. Great fries too. Big Ray and your fish camp, take a bow son. Do a victory lap. You deserve every one of your flowers. You can do no wrong in my eyes.

This is a place you want to take all of your out of town guests to for dinner and cocktails. I stand by my first review that the grouper tacos, coconut shrimp, and island chicken sandwich are my fave menu items! The cocktails are STRONG and they also have a great selection of local craft beer. They have recently added more tables and expanding parking, because this place is popular and gets busy! Expect a wait on the weekends, but they have a text system so you can go find a cocktail and a view while you wait. Also, don't expect to overstay your welcome, they keep a pretty strict time limit on tables, and if you are done eating, they will kindly bring your check over. All in all, a quintessential Tampa experience!

There is a dining area and a separate bar area that also has seating, as well as tables with umbrellas closer to the water. There is live music also. The menu is extensive with appetizers, salads, sandwiches and entrees. There is also a nice drink menu. I started with a margarita and our table of 4 shared the fish bites appetizer. Our server was rushing us so much and we just wanted to enjoy a leisurely Sunday afternoon so that was annoying. The fish bites were $17.25 and there were maybe 10 little pieces. Way overpriced, but at least they tasted ok. I ordered 2 chicken tacos with fries. They came out overfilled and were hard to eat, but they were tasty. Others weren't exceptionally happy with their meals. I think service was my big issue. She rushed us to order, but once we ordered we never saw her again for more drinks or just to check on us. After we paid, we went over to the bar area and had another drink. Nicer experience.

The highlight of our visit was our server, Jake. His recommendations were spot-on. He checked on us throughout the meal without ever being overbearing. Appetizers: Spicy Tuna Nachos (with the crab salad and avocado add-on. This was Jake's recommendation) This was hands-down our favorite appetizer. The crab salad and avocado are a must. Everything paired perfectly together, especially with a dash of soy sauce. Kickin' Shrimp with Bread. The shrimp was flavorful and cooked perfectly. The only small suggestion would be to serve the bread in smaller pieces, making it easier to share. Entrees: Loco Moco - 8.5/10: Great flavor and cooked well. The only thing that would have made it even better would be adding some vegetables on the side. Blackened Grouper Fish Tacos - 10/10: Absolutely amazing! The grouper was fresh and not overly fishy, and the mango salsa added the perfect touch of sweetness and saltiness. The flavors were balanced. I'd order these again.
