Food Review: Pinot Thai Energy Corridor in West Houston, Texas Under new management, Pinot Thai in the Energy Corridor of West Houston has truly become a hidden gem for Thai cuisine enthusiasts. Nikki, our attentive server, took exceptional care of us, ensuring a memorable dining experience in a casual and aesthetically pleasing setting. For the Thursday lunch special, I opted for the Penang curry with chicken. Served with a delightful egg roll, rice, salad, and soup, this meal was an incredible deal. The curry was rich and aromatic, perfectly balanced in flavors, and not overwhelmingly spicy, just as I had requested. My companion chose the drunken noodles, a dish that was beautifully executed with exquisite flavors. The noodles were cooked to perfection, with a harmonious blend of spices that made each bite a delight. To top off our meal, we indulged in the seasonal sticky rice with mango. The combination of the sweet, ripe mango and the sticky rice was the perfect ending to our delicious meal. Overall, Pinot Thai is a must-visit for anyone in the Energy Corridor seeking authentic Thai flavors, excellent service, and a welcoming ambiance.

Came for a delicious Thai dinner and I got it. The place is small but it has a good amount of seating, they sat me quick and took orders fast. The place is cute and comfortable. The dinnerware they use is beautiful, I loved it. The food came out super fast and everything was delicious and fresh with lots of flavors. The servers were nice and thorough. Will definitely come back and recommend.

Wonderful place! The decor is lovely. Chandeliers, pretty china, beautiful food presentation. Perfect atmosphere for a lovely disconnect after work or spot to meet friends for a long lunch. Staff is mature, courteous, first rate. The food - delicious. I ordered take out Monday and came back Thursday to dine in and tour the menu. Each course was very good. Great way to end business trip to Houston. Thank you, Pinto & Lupe for 2 wonderful meals this week.

Came in 30 min before closing and the ladies were so sweet. Still sat us down and never rushed us one bit. The food tasted delicious, and portion is very generous. Soup had a lot of flavors, noodles were thick, shrimp was crunch and filled with sauce. Total bill was about $60 with tip included , price is very fair.

I visited Pinto Thai on a Tuesday evening by myself. Although I was the only customer eating in, it didn't feel "suspicious". Sometimes you have this feeling if there is nobody, then that is probably for a reason. The next door restaurants also were rather empty. The food was good, and excellent service so I am happy I went here for dinner. I liked the Thai chili in fish sauce so you can spice up the dish yourself if you are into spicy food.

Incredible experience, amazing food, great service! This beautiful restaurant just had a very nice upgrade in decor, menu, and service! Great job! It was already great and now is better. Highly recommend it. We had the crisp cheese rolls, spring rolls, red curry w chicken and drunken pasta - all were amazing in presentation and taste. The Thai tea also was great and who can forget the beautiful raspberry tea. Wow! Have had the crispy fish before and it was superb. I love the beautiful redesign! Congratulations to the owners.

Anytime my husband and I have been there the food has never disappointed. We have tried multiple things and never disappoints. I recently went and got Khao soi, and wow!! It was a whole masterpiece. Presentation and taste ALWAYS matter and they really outdid theirselves. Love their desserts as well, yummy!
