    Garden Rolls with Peanut Sauce.
    James D. H.

    My Wife's friends from work suggested this place as we would be)) in the area at another store looking for a mattress. After walking and looking at things, my hunger was immense. It was a bitterly cold and windy night. Parking was easy but after walking up to the entrance we found better parking right up front. There was no way we were going back into the wind for better parking. We made jokes and went inside. The internet said this place had "vibrant decor." I had no idea what that meant. I know now! It's colorful inside. Kinda cute. I thought the fake/real living wall was cool. They have a t.v. showing food and life in Thailand. It was awesome. A lot of the video was about food vendors and how much the food costs. Everything was 1/5th the cost you'd get charged for the same thing if it was the U.S.A. The waitstaff was on top of service. It was awesome. My Wife ordered a Thai Tea and I had beer. The tea was yummy but a little sweet for her. I was super hungry and we ordered a lot of food. The portions are good size and the prices were decent for being near the airport. We ordered 2 Salad Rolls. 1 Prawn and 1 Tofu and a Spring Roll. The Garden Rolls came with 3 different sauces. All three were absolutely delicious. 1. A Thai Peanut Sauce that was to die for. The leftovers I scooped onto my Pad thai as extra sauce. 2. Was a Miso Sauce that reminded me of a Chimichurri Sauce. I wasn't sure wich of the two sauces i liked more. Sauce # 3 was also very delicious. I forget what it was called. I looked up the menu online but didn't figure it out. Either way it was yummy. Not as much as the other 2 sauces but all 3 sauces were amazing. The Spring Rolls were good and crunchy, the sauce was sweet and flavorful. I judge all Thai Restaurants by the Pad Thai. We both had pad Thai. I had prawns, she ordered chicken. The plate presentation at Zab Pinto is beautiful. I loved the look of everything that came out of the kitchen. Our Pad Thai was no different. We both said "wow" when our food was set down. I was upset that I couldn't dive into my pad Thai. I tried but I'm pretty sure they use lava to cook food, lol. No problem, we still had appetizers to finish. After some chatting and waiting, finally, our food cooled down enough and I dove in head first. The prawns were cooked perfectly and the Pad Thai was one of the best I've ever had. I've eaten pad Thai at restaurants from Gresham to the coast and Zab has it figured out. The sauce was almost like butter in flavor. I wondered if they actually used butter. I wanted to ask but, sometimes it's the mystery that brings me back. After seeing all the curry other people ordered. My Wife and I are already wanting to come back for the curry. There is a bunch of items I want to try. Basically I want to eat everything on the menu at least one time.

    Great decor and a really inviting atmosphere. I ordered the pineapple curry, it was full of flavor with just the right level of spice. The shrimp salad rolls were solid, and the portions were generous. Service was friendly and attentive as well.

    Pork soup sour and spicy.

    Very good authentic Thai food. Good place to sit down and eat staffs are friendly. bathroom is clean. Very close to IKEA store by the airport.

    Zabpinto Thai is perfect for fast, authentic Thai food. They have a large dining area great for parties of all sizes, and they have a large takeout business as well. Highly recommend the spring rolls (veggie filled, crispy and comes with duck sauce) and the green curry with chicken. Spring rolls came out piping hot, and the green curry is comfortably spicy and filled with bamboo shoots, eggplant, and bell peppers. Fast, easy and good food.

    Wanted to eat before doing some shopping. My friend was craving thai food, so luckily there was one here we could try. There was a menu with a bunch of lunch specials, which I believe runs till 2:30. The Pad thai tom yum caught my eye as I had never seen that on a menu before. They offer several different options for what you can add to it. I went with the chicken spice level medium, but they also had options like pork belly & seafood which you don't see offered often. Wow, this was really good! It was like pad thai noodles, but with the tom yum flavor. So flavorful & the medium spice was perfect. Portion was big enough to where I could take the other home. Service was good & I'd definitely order that again.

    What's up Yelpies If you wish to be Thaied up for an hour or so there is no better place than this one. The food is delicious and the owners are amazing. So chill you will forget your eating out at a restaurant

    Asked for extra fish sauce. This is what I got. Do they not use fish sauce in their pad see  eww? Not good.
    Toby J.

    Nothing special, should have known when I ordered extra fish sauce it came in a packet. Servers were fantastic though.

    As soon as I walked through the door, I could hear Jen greeting me, and she was so welcoming. When I asked how long they had been open, she informed me that it was their fifth week and also let me know about their other locations and their hours. I come to PDX frequently and stay at the Aloft hotel, which is about a 5-minute walk from here. I love Thai food, so I was pleasantly surprised when a friend told me they had opened! I ordered my usuals: Thai iced tea, salad rolls with chicken, and chicken Pad See Ew. Jen immediately brought out my Thai iced tea with the perfect tea-to-cream ratio, and within minutes, the salad rolls arrived. The rolls came with peanut sauce and another green sauce. I'm not sure what the green sauce was, but it was creamy and delicious (I forgot to ask what it was, but it was amazing)! Next was my main course, Pad See Ew. I would say the presentation was awesome, and the noodles had to be the freshest I've ever had in that dish! The flavor was spot on and probably the best I've ever eaten. If you live or work near Cascade Station, please eat here! It's the newest location, and I want to make sure they have plenty of business so they stick around for a long time. I know I'll be eating there every time I come to town!

    13. Papaya Salad

    Ok, so I drove to Portland thinking my go to Thai restaurant was open today but it was closed. Needed an alternate near by as authentic as my go to spot. Searched for Thai restaurants near me and Pad Pinto Thai was one of the first restaurants that came up and had the best rating. It was 7 minutes away - let's go for it! I tell you, I am glad that I did. It is in the Cascade Station. Parking lot was packed but I found a space directly in sight of the restaurant (go figure). The place is nice! Great decor! Spacious! Bright! I was warmly welcomed and seated then served water in a nice glass. I looked over than menu and in my experience if it's really an authentic Thai place - there's an altar/shrine (yes), the green papaya salad is served with a wedge of cabbage, and the red curry is good. I ordered the papaya salad and the red curry with chicken. Yes! Authentic Thai! It satisfied the taste I was craving (not 100% but close enough). Friendly atmosphere. Fast service! Portion size was good. Price was only a few dollars more than usual but I bet they pay higher rent in their location. Authentic Thai! Fully stocked bar (I don't drink) for those who do drink. I had the Thai Iced green tea with coconut milk. Delicious! This place will be an Alternate go to spot especially when I'm flying out from PDX!

    Really cute inside

    M friends came to visit and after we visited the Grotto we came here for lunch. It's by the Ikea. They have multiple locations. This is the second one I have been to. Super cute inside. Staff was great. Food was amazing. We shared all kinds of food. Nothing was a disappointment

Drinks: I cannot handle day drinking anymore, but I couldn't resist... - Acid test: bourbon based - Separation anxiety: rum based, tiki; I was hesitant about the lychee (not a fan), but it was very well balanced. This was my preferred cocktail Food: family style - Sweet and sour chicken: even the small was a big portion. Flavor was great on this, and it had a crisp, crunchy batter - Wok fried yu choy: great wok char - Smoked pork krapao: crispy pork belly pieces, a fried poached egg (literally deep fried). Break up the yolk to dip with the pork. The cucumbers and green beans are a nice clean accompaniment; spicy fish sauce was great - White curry with brisket burnt ends: I've never had a white curry, but the white curry and cauliflower was a great match for the super rich brisket pieces. I love the interesting combination! Note: pretty much everything has some spice to it, so for kids, the jasmine rice and yu choy are the main items, though my older daughter did ok with the fried chicken and brisket! Music was great, and all of the food flavors were bold. Though flavor combinations were unique, everything was cohesive. They were packed on a Wednesday for lunch, so I'm glad we got here before noon to snag a table. I wish the Bay Area had more interesting fusion done right like this (I feel like fusion is a bad word in the food world...)

It is not an in-house, concocted drink. Our favorite entree was the roasted mushroom fried rice. It has that complex charred aroma which is achieved by stir-frying over extreme heat with the wok. Our next favorite item is the sweet and sour fried chicken. A small order was plenty for us to share. It is sticky, sweet, and tangy with just the right touch of spice.

You can watch them frying the roti in front of you, they have a great flavor (they're a bit on the thick side), and the curry is absolutely sublime, with an incredible depth of spices without being hot. I also really enjoyed the freshness and textural blend of the "rice salad," with great cucumbers and herbs, although it was too spicy for my dining companions. I admit I didn't think the fried chicken was anything special--the chicken was moist (even the white meat), but the outside could have been crunchier. But I'm not the biggest expert in fried chicken, nor in pad thai, and both were certainly competent even if not as exceptional. Sticky rice was also cooked perfectly.

Fried Chicken Roti Combo - holy fried chicken crispy, combo comes with 1x leg and 1x thigh cut into two pieces. Curry was delicious and balance, excellent when dipped with the crispy roti or fried chicken. Pickled veggies were a great pairing and sweet and sour added another dimension. 2. Pad Thai - glistening noodles served inside an egg omelet. Very solid pad thai - sweet, sour, salty. Don't forget to add the fresh shrimp, these were cooked perfectly and plump. I recommend the restaurant should take the shrimp tail shell off for us. 3. Thai Basil Lemonade - solid lemonade, NEED more basil flavor. Overall, I'd come here again to eat and try other items as well. I'll give it a 5 star for now but more 4.5.
