Fantastic Food, Huge Portions!
My experience with the delivery was fantastic! The food was absolutely delicious, and the portions were huge, which made the prices seem more than fair. I highly recommend this place!

Delicious Food, Attentive Service, Worth a Try!
This was one of the better dining experiences I’ve had in quite some time! Everything was delicious, the staff was attentive and quick, and the food came out in a reasonable time, piping hot and fresh 😋. I wanted to note that the negative reviews involving staff pushing people out honestly make sense from a business point of view; it’s ridiculous to order takeout and assume you can take a seat from those intending to eat there. It’s a small place, it’s to be expected! We had no problems feeling rushed, and even if we were, I’d absolutely understand if they had people waiting for tables. Don’t let those ridiculous reviews put you off from giving this place a try, it’s totally worth trying!

Excellent Thai Replacement!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic. I've been searching for a replacement for my usual Thai place that closed a year ago, and this is absolutely it. The service was wonderful, and the food has been everything I've looked for in Thai cuisine. The atmosphere also contributed to a great dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Delicious Food, Great Service!
My experience at this restaurant was soooooo delicious! I ordered the veggie samosas, fried tofu, and basil thai rice (spicy). The flavor of everything was perfect and the spice was just right. The sauces that they came with were also fantastic! The service was wonderful and the food came out fast!

Order Mix-up and Bland Flavors
My experience involved calling in an order for pickup. Unfortunately, an item was left out of the order, though I wasn't charged for it. In one curry dish, I had requested tofu but received chicken instead. The fried rice, which I asked to be mild, had very little flavor. I was also unimpressed with the mango sticky rice, as it was on the dry side and lacked the expected coconut sauce on top.

Worst Pad Thai Ever
My experience at this restaurant was extremely disappointing, particularly with the food. I had the worst Pad Thai I've ever encountered in my life. It was a big, syrupy glop with no vegetables and no color. Despite the terrible food, the service and atmosphere were rated a perfect 5, which makes the food quality even more of a letdown.

Excellent Service and Food!
My dad and I visited this restaurant recently, and we had a wonderful experience. The service was nice, and it was a pleasant surprise when the cook came out to see how everything was. The food was great. I highly recommend this place.

Disappointing Bland Flavors
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. I ordered the pad Thai, jasmine fried rice, and papaya salad. Unfortunately, all the dishes were extremely bland and lacked flavor. The fried rice was particularly mushy, and the papaya salad did not taste authentic at all. Overall, the food quality was a letdown.

Disappointing Packaging, Lost Flavor
My experience at the restaurant was disappointing due to the way the jasmine rice was packaged. It’s gross to order jasmine rice and then find it wrapped in plastic. Please do not package the jasmine rice in a plastic bag and then in the white box, as all the flavor is lost. This practice screams shrinkflation. Cutting corners loses your customers and kills the flavor.

Grateful for Thai Pinto Bistro!
I LOVE Thai Pinto Bistro! I live in Tierrasanta and feel so grateful that this Thai restaurant is in our community. It’s so wonderful with delicious Thai dishes and the staff is so friendly! I have a weekly favorite order that I recommend: the Fresh Spring rolls, extra peanut sauce (the best I’ve ever had) and the Thai Basil Noodles. I have it every Thursday night almost and it’s the one meal I look forward to the most. The take out service is great if you order on Menufy and it’s always ready in half the time that the website says it’ll be ready. Dietary restrictions: I always request No Bell Peppers and not once have they messed up my order, which has happened many times at other Thai restaurants. I also only eat vegetarian and their tofu and veggies are so fresh and delicious. Highly recommend for vegetarians.
