“ Came here durring a 3 day trip. It was so good we canceled one of our other dinner locations just to come back to Pinto Thai. The Sunrise Udon Curry with duck was to die for. I'm from Minneapolis and am now on a mission to find something similar. ”

“ Awesome, awesome, awesome for 3 of 4 days ordering here, If you’re in Jacksonville and craving authentic Thai cuisine, look no further than Pinto Thai Bistro! Every dish we tried was a masterclass in balance and flavor, but the Tom Kha with shrimp stole the show—adding noodles took it to another level. The broth was rich, creamy, and perfectly spiced, hitting that ideal Thai hot level—bold but not overpowering. The chicken satay was cooked to perfection, the spring rolls were crisp and delicious, and while the beef drunken noodles weren’t our favorite (we prefer a double-wide noodle), the flavor was still fantastic. We were torn between the Panang curry and red curry, both incredibly flavorful and satisfying. But what truly made the experience special was ING, the heart and soul of the bistro. She welcomed us with a warm smile each day, making us feel like family. Exceptional food, amazing service—Pinto Thai Bistro is an absolute must visit! ”
“ We ate lunch at this cute little Thai restaurant during our visit to Jacksonville. The food was excellent, though we had to ask for more spice (chili flakes and Sriracha). We asked for level 2 spice, and it was pretty tame from a heat perspective. Though, the people next to us also asked for 2 but were complaining that it was too hot! So, if you are not sure, go low and then ask for spice options. We had the dumplings (which were not yet on the menu), drunken noodles, and pork kra pow. The dishes were all delicious and were good portions (we took some of the noodles home). Definitely recommend! ”
“ Love this place! Affordable & quick service Thai restaurant on A1A. The food is always piping hot and fresh. It’s a small restaurant with friendly staff. ( not many tables ) Chicken curry puffs are my favoriteThey are perfect for beach snacks! They are close between lunch and dinner. ”
“ My fiance and I have been going to Pinto Thai since some of our first dates over five years ago. The food has always been excellent, and the service is next level. Any staff member we have met has been polite, knowledgeable about the menu, and handles even the busiest rushes great! Whether it be Khao Soi, Pad Thai, any of their delicious curries, or Tom Kha soup, knowing that Ms. Jan puts so much love into her recipes is what has us coming back. Thank you to Pinto Thai Bistro, the team, and ownership! We appreciate what you are doing ”
