Me and my dad came here not too long ago, the service was nice and even the cook came out to see how everything was !! Food was great. Highly recommend.

Ordered pad Thai, jasmine fried rice, and papaya salad. All dishes were extremely bland and lacked flavor. The fried rice was very mushy and papaya salad did not taste authentic at all.

It’s gross to order Jasmin rice and then it’s wrapped in plastic. Please not package the jasmine rice in plastic bag and then in the white box. All the flavor is lost. It’s screams shrinkflation. Cutting corners looses your customers and kills the flavor.

Terrible service. While I understand the restaurant is small, asking a paying customer to leave to seat others is unacceptable. I ordered my food in a to-go box to save time, but that didn’t mean I wasn’t planning to eat there. First, I was asked to move to a smaller table, which I did without issue. Then, while waiting for my food, I was asked to step outside to make room for other customers.

I explained to the waitress that I intended to eat there, but she ignored me and insisted I leave. My food was ready in just 2-3 minutes, but despite my explanation, she still forced me out.

As for the food, I ordered the seafood pineapple curry. While the shrimp and sauce were okay, the seafood tasted frozen and not fresh. It was chewy and inedible, and I couldn’t finish it.

Here’s a photo of my food that I am now eating in my car after being kicked out of the restaurant. ?

Excellent food for the fare price.

Its a cozy ambient restaurant and we were served medium size dinners.

Thai was very good and very fresh, properly seasoned and just right to the taste. They also take spicy and non spicy requests which was perfect for us.

Highly recommend you visit this mom n pap, woth a partner for dinner, or even with the family as portion sizes for 1 dish feed the whole family!

Over all excellent thai food when you appetite calls for.
Aloha!

Very good! The food is comforting and to die for, the service was very good. The location is small and homey so best to come when it's not too busy.

We ordered the pad thai, glass noodles salad, cheese crab and spring rolls all served hot and perfectly can highly recommend the pad thai and cheese crab wontons.

Only complaint is parking outside was a little hard to get that wasn't a 30 min spot but that's unrelated to the restaurant itself. Can recommend ??

Friendly neighborhood Thai. I like the panang curry. Very yummy.

Parking: Sometimes if it's busy you have to park in the lot around the corner but there's always parking.

Our waitress was very sweet, attentive, and great with checking in on us.

Went for a lunch get together with a friend, 1st time here and they offer really fresh & well flavored lunch specials. They were pretty quick with our orders too, respectful of our lunch "time frame" for sure!

Small place with about 6 to 8 tables (or so), cute, good layout, nice mellow decor.

Regretfully I didn't take pictures of how awesome the food looked, but let me tell you -it was tasty and went down way quicker than I expected! ?

Definitely going to be coming back here! The only slightly problematic item was the tight parking lot and when it's full you may have to park a little further away.

Our favorite Thai restaurant!
We love ordering from Pinto Thai. The food tastes really fresh and full of flavor! The Tom kha is the best I’ve had in San Diego by far. We also really enjoy the fresh rolls and yellow curry.

Pad thai was incredible, I added chili oil to up the heat a bit, bit they will ask you how spicy you want your food. My wife had the vegetable and cashews with seafood and she loved it. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting good Thai food.
