Pinto Thai Tapas

You want to have tasteless frozen fish for 35 dollars? Here is your worst Thai restaurant in Singapore! When you order “deep fried Seabass fish three sauce” and get a 2$ joke instead. See photo. Cherry on the cake, family food poisoned with their fried rice… Hard to believe other reviews ! Avoid this place it’s a scam.

The atmosphere is quiet and dark toned, waitresses there are are quite friendly. This restaurant seems to be quite popular in the area as there are many tables reserved. Food is quite nice. Especially, prawn bread and green curry chicken. Sweet Chili in red colour is tasty. Lychee drink is very sweet, and fish cake is very spicy. Beef salad is nice but beef is a bit too “well-done”. They are using metal straws for drinks which is definitely a plus. :) Portion size wise, we ordered a platter and one salad dish. It filled us up on the right spot. Total bill was less than $50 for 2people. Not sure if it’s too spicy or due to some other reasons, both hubby and me had diarrhoea after dinner when we got home. If you consider detoxing- probably that’s not a drawback at all. :D Tips for who is looking for parking, there is a small open area parking nearby and some street parking.

I decided to try this place out as I was nearby and noticed the good reviews of this place. The moment the waitress greeted us at the door, I could tell that the reviews must be accurate! She was so friendly and polite. Throughout our meal, our water was constantly topped up and even right before we leave the place, we were still greeted with a smile. Whats more, the food served here are really good a nd value for money! We ordered Phad Thai, classic platter (stuffed chicken wings, prawn toast, spicy fish cake), tom yum soup and mango sticky rice. If I were to be picky, I would say that the soup was too spicy for average diner and so loaded that it can almost be called a dressing. More importantly, I didn't give it a 5-star review because of the dessert. I was disappointed because the mango wasn't sweet at all and the sticky rice was a little too mushy. The coconut "sauce" was also too watery and bland. That said, I will still definitely visit this place again if I'm in the vicinity!

We had the opportunity to try this food joint at Joo Chiat Rd today & had a pleasant time. The place although small was cozy & clean. Decoration was kept minimal with a small bar counter, drop down lights & Thai inspired wall art. Thai music was on low which I liked. Staff was courteous & attentive. The menu selection was rather wide but since it was just the two of us we ordered the chicken tom yam, deep fried fish, stir fried veggies, fried chicken wings & for drinks had Thai iced tea. We preferred the drink with crushed ice instead of cubes but hey we can't have everything 😉. (Note that they don't serve steam fish). After the full meal we don't have tummy room for dessert so we ordered mango sticky rice to go. Yes, we'll likely return to try other dishes & would recommend this place to those who enjoy authentic Thai dishes.
