Last November, just days after Chiang Mai Thai announced its closure at 445 Central Ave., Pin On Cafe was already putting up signage on the storefront. Talk about hot real estate. Well, the new Asian fusion fast-casual restaurant made its debut Thursday, Jan. 21.
Owners, Som and Roger Rattanachane are whipping up bites like chicken red curry cake, spicy tuna onigiri, and crispy coconut waffle served with a scoop of ice cream. You may recognize options from its sister restaurant, PIn Wok & Bowl. Other items that can be found on the menu include curry bowls, rice bowls, soups, sandos, lunch boxes as well as smoothies.
You can slide by for a bite and dine indoors at socially distanced tables, or grab your eats to go for some fresh air and window shopping along the strip.
Hours for the new Central Avenue restaurant are 11 a.m.-3 p.m. and 4 p.m.-9:30 p.m. Mon.-Wed., 11 a.m.-3 p.m. and 4 p.m.-9:30 p.m. Thurs., 11 a.m.-3 p.m. and 4 p.m.-10 p.m. Fri., noon-10 p.m. Sat., and noon-9:30 p.m. Sun. Be sure to account for the hour break in between services.
