I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Pintoh Thai. The food was delicious. The service was attentive and accommodating without being overbearing. We ordered a variety of dishes to share, the staff made sure sharing was easy by providing knives or cutting things in half. The chicken wings, crab meat dumplings, fried chicken, and catfish were the highlights of our meal. We had so much fun and will definitely come bck the next time we have a show at the Fox!!

Great food and cocktails. The Thai shrimp with lychee was flavorful. I also enjoyed their Suan Lychee cocktail (Sabe vodka sake, lychee puree, lime, basil & mint leaves). Will definitely go back to try other dishes.
