About Pinto Thai
On Queen St in Newton Abbot, Pinto Thai serves Thai food across a menu of 178 dishes, evenings only and closed Tuesdays. The starter list opens with the Pinto Thai Mixed Platter, a starter platter unique to this restaurant, alongside a vegetable version for those wanting a meat-free option. Por Pia Tod, Khanom Pang Nha Gai and Gai Satay round out the starters, with See Klong Mou Yang among the mains. The room carries Thai and Buddhist decorations throughout. Vegetarian mains are offered alongside the rest of the menu. Reservations are recommended given the limited evening hours, and table bookings can be made directly. For those eating off site, the kitchen also runs a takeaway service. The restaurant is open every day of the week apart from Tuesdays, giving diners a narrow but consistent window to visit or collect food from 131 Queen St.

Customer Review Summary
Pad thai draws consistent praise, with one diner noting their chilli-averse father loved it, and the chicken massaman curry with coconut rice comes recommended by another reviewer alongside the soft shell crab starter. Several mention generous, freshly cooked portions served on warm plates, and vegetarian mains also earn specific praise from a visitor who traveled from Leicestershire. Staff are repeatedly called polite, friendly, and helpful, with one reviewer singling out fantastic service from their waitress. The main recurring gripe comes from one reviewer whose birthday booking wasn't found in the system when they arrived, despite having reserved a table. Otherwise the pattern is overwhelmingly positive, with multiple diners saying they've traveled some distance to eat there and plan to return.
