Pinto Thai used to be 5 star. We have taken away food at least a dozen times or more last year. Since the original chef left to pursue other interests, the food is hit or miss. Tonight the Tom Kha (minus the chicken) and Lumpia were delicious, but the two main dishes were awful — too awful to eat. The cashew chicken was over spiced and inedible; we could tell by the color of the food and specs of spice in the dish before we even tasted it). Also, there were more carrots than the actual (very dried out) chicken. The grilled steak did not resemble the photo and the flavors were unbalanced. So disappointing.

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.

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...
