Not sure why people like this place, food quality is not great. I understand it’s important to support local businesses but the quality needs to be improved. We ordered a lunch special tofu pad kee mao with spring roll, soup of the day, and coleslaw. We also ordered a chicken panang curry. The soup was a cold vegetable soup. The spring roll and coleslaw were fine. The pad kee mao was far too eggy, and lacked spice even though I got level 3 spicy. But at least all of this was passable, and I appreciated the charred thick wide rice noodles. The panang curry was the worst offender, because it tasted like a salty chicken soup! It tasted like they cooked the chicken in the curry, dumped chicken soup into it, or used canned chicken. It tasted nothing like thai curry is supposed to, and I had to throw it away. If you enjoy this place, that’s good for you, but I wouldn’t recommend it for new customers.

Warnings!!! Caution!! to folks with little kids not to go eat at Pinto Thai. Today, 7/30/23, my wife and I stopped to eat lunch with my 4 year daughter, while we were waiting for our order my daughter was playing with few sugar packets under our supervision, and one of the wait stuff (not even our waiter) grabbed the package from my daughter's hands rudely which tremendously scared my daughter and told my daughter she can't play with those packages even more rudely. I had the option of calling the police to arrest the waiter for doing such act to a 4 year old child that but I stayed calm, comforted my daughter and decided to walk away and not eat there. I definitely would not recommend anyone going there with small kids.

Restaurant was very clean, service was great no complaints at all. Started with the crispy dumplings they were awesome nice and crispy, filling was flavorful and the sauce was perfect. I also had the Basil and hot pepper with chicken (level 3 spicy) wasn't very spicy for me probably could have done a 4. Flavor was excellent hit all the right notes for me definitely would have again and again. Wife had the grilled squid which was also amazing with some great dipping sauces. All in all 10/10 check this place out immediately.

One of the best Thai foods in town, service was good and fast. The restaurant is clean and elegant, very nice set up. We were surprised there were not crowded on Saturday night but we loved their food, very fresh, not too spicy and delicious. We ordered take out yesterday again they weren’t disappointed us. Two times we have experienced with this restaurant and we love it. Definitely the place for us when we are considering eat out.

Last two years Pinto Thai was our favorite "Thai food" restaurant. We used to go there once a week or two. Food was always good. Today my husband ordered food online but something was wrong with the web site and when we came to PT our order didn't show up. Okay. We ordered there at 12.05pm and our food was ready at 12.36pm. We wanted to leave because lunch time was almost over but decided to wait instead of going somewhere and order again. I don't know will we come back to this place again but I don't recommend to go there lunch time if you want to have lunch or if you don't want to be late for a meeting at work. 30 min is too much for waiting!

I placed an order on Pinto Thai’s website today, the order was confirmed and a confirmation email was sent to me. I chose the “pay at store” option box. Then come to find out when I came to pick up my order the price was higher than what I placed the order for. I explained to the cashier that the price I placed an order for was lower, and the cashier’s response was “oh I don’t know what to tell you, I don’t set the price.” She then starts to make reference to our interaction in Thai with her manager and starts laughing as if my disappointment with this was a joke to her. Terrible experience, I will not be back here.

This is definitely a no no, I came here yesterday night for dinner, was my first time here so I had no idea what they have. I waited.. finally my turn didn't know the menu and before I could ask anything they asked the guy behind me what they wanted, then the chaser left leaving me wondering what?... I came again today because they are 2 minutes away from my house and we are in emergency times. Well i go in at 11:45 the door is open and the sign open is there, but they open at 12:00 today. No way im coming here.. do they care? Probably no... so why should I care... just giving you guys heads up.

I had lunch at Pinto Thai today, I do about twice a week. The food is great, as my frequency there will attest. But today I lost my wallet and was sure I left it in the restaurant. I went back and we could not find it. They had a great camera system ready and took me through my table and who cleaned it afterwards. We found the culprit, and it was ME. I'm such a dummy, the wallet got stuck between my seat and the floor in my car. They couldn't have been kinder in trying to help me find it. Please patronize this place, they are nice people that serve good food.

The atmosphere here is great. It's a warm, welcoming, and serene setting, making every dining experience memorable. The staff is knowledgeable and ready to guide you through the menu, providing excellent recommendations.

Came here twice to pick up food to go during the COVID-19 global lockdown. Finally dined in with a friend and the experience was exceptional. The food is always fresh and is authentic, especially for someone who’s visited Thailand and has had true Thai food. The customer service is outstanding, too. I’ll definitely be coming back when I’m in the area.

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.

Definitely one of the best thai places on this side of Houston. I've never had a bad meal. I've eaten most of the lunch menu and a few curries and it's all always been hot, fresh and tastes amazing. I think the spice level is on the lower end (ex: hot is a little chill for my taste) but that's all preference. Prices are good. I love the lunch menu as I love trying their different soups. Good service as the place is small and the waiters are attentive.

First time here. Ordered Pad Thai for lunch. I've had it many times at other places and i love it. It came out super fast but kind of smelled wierd. I covered it in sriracha and looked past the smell. Tastes ok, looks like a mountain of noodles with some chicken on the bottom.... didn't see very many vegetables or basil like usually. WORST PART:: SOME, not all, of the chicken was very RUBBERY. In my experience this means the chicken had gone bad and wad still cooked.... won't be returning.

Good restaurant with good Thai fishes. Limited spaces inside. Only two persons serving the whole restaurant. It could take a long time to have your dishes if the restaurant is busy. Recommended dishes: grilled squid, crispy fish with sauce, and pad Thai. There is limited parking in front of the restaurant.

I've eaten here twice. The first time, I got pad thai, it was great, but it had onions, which I dont like, but it was my fault for not saying "no onions". The second time I came here, I ordered the pad thai again, but with no onions. AND THIS TIME, It was just noodles and meat. Wheres the rest? I was looking to get my 3-5 vegetables in. Just a heads up If you order something with specifications. My favorite Thai place is still Thai Jasmine. I will not be coming back to pinto thai.

I am a frequent visitor to PintoThai Restaurant, and it never disappoints. The consistency in quality and taste is unmatched. The variety of dishes available ensures there's something for every palate, from mild to fiery, all prepared to perfection.

I've had a lot of Thai food here and in other cities but this place is one of the best. I love their spicy pad woon see. To me it's a little mild but adding those pepper and their hot cause, it became perfect for me. My other favorites are chicken yellow curry and basil fried rice. They are so good, once you start, you don't want to stop.

I live right down the street decided to try this place out since I love Thai food. Tried the pad thai noodles (shrimp). I paid $12.95 and I feel ripped off. Definitely the worst thai food I have tasted. I should have known I went on a Saturday and the place was EMPTY. If you want to try decent thai food go to Nom Nom Noodles on Eldridge. Don't waste your money on this place

Currently waiting to over an hour for my meal on a Sunday night. There is one waiter and one cook. Apparently to go orders get to cut ahead of dine in orders. Had great food here one before. Won't be coming back. Perhaps managment should consider breaking up large orders or treating customers with respect and tell them the situation before they sit down to order!

I usually go in once a week but I’m going to stop now. The last straw was pulled. I always order a pad Thai with tofu with eggs. And today they put chicken then blamed it on me saying if I said yes to eggs that means I said yes to chicken. I don’t eat any kind of meats but I eat eggs. Customer service has always been their weak point but today was just bad.

Food and the service was fantastic. I'm weirdly picky about my Thai food but this restaurant checked all the boxes. I have already been back several times since first going. Would highly recommend if you're new to Thai food, or already a big fan you give it a try.

Just up the road from Courtyard Marriott and order to go very often. The service is very good and decent prices.The chicken in curry dishes I get are chewy (microwaved) and green beans not cooked enough for me.I keep going back as I love this place.Pannang Curry shrimp w/bamboo shoots is my favorite.5 stars if they cooked fresh chicken.

This restaraunt serves delicious Thai food. Me and my family order the red curry chicken. First time I tried curry was in this place and I absolutely love it. Their sticky rice with mango is to die for. They do not serve alcoholic beverages but you are welcome to bring your own and have it at your table which I thought was pretty neat.

Decided to order delivery for the first time. So gross. Basil hot pepper beef was cold and nasty looking. Tasted just how it looked. Basil fried rice was mushy and no flavor.The egg rolls were undercooked. 30 down the drain and it is pricey for what it is too. Straight to the trash where it belongs. Dont say I didnt warn you.

The food was great. Pineapple fried rice for me. I don’t know what my wife ordered, but the rice, veggies, and chicken was well received. She’s very particular with her food. Fast, efficient, well-priced, and relaxing atmosphere. I wish this was close to my house.

So glad to find a local Thai restaurant in the neighborhood. We ordered the Tom Yum, Green Curry with shrimp, and black paper grilled chicken. The soup was my favorite! Everything was so fresh and seasoned just right. The waitress was working by herself and the service was still exceptional. I will be going back!

Tom yum soup with jumbo shrimp was fabulous! Spring rolls come with 2 different sauces. Green beans with garlic sauce were neatly trimmed & came with a big bowl of rice Yum Nur salad has so many delicious flavors! Lettuce wraps had a nice presentation. Ice tea was kept filled. Wish they were closer to home …

The flavors of the different curries are wonderful and the pork fried rice was delicious. The only thing that could be improved was the green beans in the green curry which were tough. But the green curry was so amazing overall.

The company I work for recently relocated in the area. My coworkers and I came here to try out new food in the area and now this is our favorite place for lunch. I'm hooked on the Mussaman chicken curry. It's so good that I can't stop eating even after I'm full. It's a small place but the food is awesome.

This place is WAY superior to the award winning Thai place across town. They won the Beard Award but the food was quite disappointing. The food from Pinto was delightful across the board. I got 5 things and liked all five. They get my award!

I always have wonderful service here, everyone is so nice! The food is always amazing, I’ve never had anything that was less than perfect quality; they’re portion sizes are generous and the prices are more than fair considering the quality and quantity. I recommend this place to everyone one!!

Beware that they cannot make delivery orders correctly. I have ordered delivery from them three times and they made the same mistake each time. I do not eat eggs and clearly marked - NO EGGS - but they've made this mistake repeatedly. I suppose I should have learned my lesson the first time.

The food is delicious and presented beautifully. The restaurant is very clean. The staff is welcoming and helpful.

Friendly service, pretty okay food. I ordered the Pad Kee Mao (drunken noodles) with chicken. It tasted pretty good, but the flat noodles were almost completely shredded, and the spices seem to be all in one or two bites. I did not like that experience. The rest of the food was good.

Awesome small family owned restaurant. The food is delicious, and the waiters are nice and great.I enjoyed my food, and I will definitely come back. It is also located in a very convenient place on Dairy Ashford Road. Try their Pad Thai with Duck meat. Best Pad Thai ice ever had.

Buyer Beware. Do not order from this restaurant. Used to be good. Now, they mess up every order. Then they want to re-charge you for fixing the order. Terrible customer service. Horrible food. Stay away. Much better options nearby. No longer the quality of Nit Noi. Extremely bad.

I orderd 8pc chicken wing for takeout by Yelp. But they serve me only 6pc for 8pc price. And they said it was not responsibility on themself, but thirdparty. Of course no apology. Finally I called Yelp and got refund. She middle age woman's behavior made me so disappointed.

This is my go to place for lunch if I'm ever craving Thai food which is weekly. The lunch specials are excellent!

Omg. The Thai Food here is beyond LEGIT. I am from Seattle and recently moved to Houston. So after months of trying to find legit authentic Thai food, I thought I would gave up until I stumbled onto this place. Legit. Lunch portion is good.

The service was ok and polite staff UPTO 2020 but recently I collected take out , the kitchen staff was very rude wanted more monies since they gave me beans swimming in garlic sauce but no beef. We will not b using this place again.

Food was exceptional with great service. Also great atmosphere and very food drinks. We really enjoyed dining here. The place interior was decorate traditional and very nice.

One of my favorite Thai joints in Houston. Service is great and the food is absolutely delicious. Curry specials on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are the way to go for lunch! Get the Massaman Curry and you won't be disappointed!

Came here a couple of times for lunch on weekdays coz it's close to work. Just another little Thai restaurant. Nothing special here. There's better options in the area for Asian food, such as Mikoto's ramen and Pho & Crab's pho.

The food is great. I get the red curry and it is really good. The staff is usually not very attentive and you have to flag them for drink refills. It is usually not crowded, so it is easy to get their attention if needed.

I like all their food but the curry was unexpectedly super good!!! I understand why so many people order it and rave about it. The coconut flavor is unlike other curries. You got to try it. Thai tea also really good.

This is one of the best places to get Panang curry in town. The curry is so flavorful and has the right amount of “spicy goodness”. They get very busy during lunch time and to expect 20-30 minute wait for your food.

Fabulous experience and value for what you pay for. The service was phenomenal and the food super delicious. Remains one of my favourite go to restaurants

Ordered green curry tried rice with tofu and without egg. To my horror they served rice with egg. Upon being cross checked they replied very casually that it happened by mistake. So eat here at your own risk

Waitress was amazing! She was working by herself, and gave exceptional service! I had Shrimp Pad Thai & Steamed Chicken Dumplings! Both were absolutely delicious! This place is a hidden Gem! Try it out!

Really good food and super nice. Chicken satay, pad Thai and basil fried rice, each item was delicious and I love their spicy level, just perfect. Forgot to mention, their shrimp tom yum was amazing.
