Great food! the service is friendly and on-time. Thank you for providing excellent animal free selections. My family and friends look forward to trying your entire menu. btw The spice levels are no joke, so start low unless you have experience. I usually like a 1 or 2. read more

I ordered today for delivery & most of the meal was inedible. The Shrimp Bang Bang had a taste of rancid oil and the shrimp was fried to dust. The Tom Kha soup was decent, but would not order again. The Shrimp Pad Thai had PLASTIC WRAP in it. Some of the shrimp had shell still on it. When I called the restaurant, I asked to speak to the manager and he said he was not there. I asked his name, no response. I told him about the meal and he said I had to get Grub Hub to refund me. I said I would pay for the soup as that is all I could eat. He kept saying to get Grub Hub to pay. He never got the point that Grub Hub only delivered this, they weren't the ones that make this garbage! PS, I never had a GrubHub account, but do now & they refunded the charges. They get 5 stars, the rating on the food stands. read more

The pad thai (4) was inedible due to how many red pepper flakes were in it. Order ubereats on 3/27. Ordered Pad See Eww medium (3) and Pad Thai Tofu hot (4). I order thai spicy at multiple restaurants in the area and this was uneatable. Waste of $30. read more

The pad is good, a little bit salty but still goos Shrimp bang bang smell a bit weird to me of the fried noodle outside, but the shrimp is good Tom Yum soup is too sour for me, even a bit bitter at the end of the tongue There are only a few tables as they have more to-go customers than the dine-in I recommend the Pad kee mao overall read more

Pinto Urban Thai Diner - DRUNKEN NOODLE (Pad Kee Mao) SHRIMP BANG BANG TOM YUM SOUP - Thai Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Pinto has a plethora of vegan options, ranging from refried tofu to vegan sea bass. There is also extreme spice levels if you are feeling adventurous. The service has always been quick and friendly. The cost does not always fit the portion sizes, but the quality of the food is not compromised at all. The indoor ambiance is nice and qaint, but there is limited indoor seating available. Probably best to place an order to-go. read more

Pinto Urban Thai Diner - VEGAN PAD UDON NOODLES - Thai Near Me - Richardson, Texas

WOW! So many vegan and vegetarian options which is pretty rare here in Texas but I love to see it. Made quickly and food was very good! The vegan "chicken" nuggets tasted so spot on that I had to double check and make sure I wasn't made the wrong thing (as of the time of writing this there is no regular chicken nugget on their menu to have confused it with). It made me too uncomfortable as a long term veggie to finish them lol but I was very impressed. There are so many other vegan meat imitations too that I didn't try. If you're a new veggie/vegan or just exploring it as an option this is the place to go for fake meat that tastes like the real thing. read more

As a student at UTD, I've been a regular customer here for almost two years. Food comes out quick, hot, and delicious. I have a favorite employee. They gave me a complimentary drink. This place is reliable and amazing. read more

Really cute, small restaurant for quick eats. There's only a few seats so it's mostly for takeout or small groups. The food comes out pretty quickly and in to-go containers. I thought the flavor was pretty intense. There's only bottled water there, no fountain drinks. Portion size looks all right. Great location for students and around the UTD area. read more

I ordered a bottle of sauce with our dinner and it was so distinct that I had to look it up on Google. I appreciate having things so authentic I don't know what they are. Will definitely order again to try new things. read more

Pinto Urban Thai Diner - PRIK NAM PLA Sauce - Thai Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Vegans and Vegetarians rejoice! Pinto Thai was made for us! There are so many choices! I usually get the fresh rolls as an appetizer and then follow up with some red curry or spicy Thai basil. Watch out! When you give them the spice level, they listen. Don't feel you need to amp it up. This is my go to takeout Thai spot. read more

Tom Yum soup and Yellow Fried rice are phenomenal. Their spice levels are true. I got 5 (Thai hot) and it was correct.

Very good. My wife had the 3 heat green curry and I had the 5 heat fried rice. I'm looking forward to exploring more of the menu and trying the hotter options. Lol, I gotta tell you, I'm scared about the 8 heat. read more

Went for lunch the other day and will be back. There's seating both in and outside. I liked that there's a kiosk on the outside where you could also order food. The Thai Style Chicken Basil was great. It came with jasmine rice and I had my egg on top scrambled. Being my first time, I had the level 2 spice on the side. I used it all and enjoyed it. May go for level 3 next time. The chicken is grounded which is what I prefer and it had red bell pepper and onion in it. The Thai Iced Coffee with milk was okay. It was very sweet. I haven't had Thai coffee lately to be able to compare, but was not completely sold on the flavor. read more

I ordered Tom yum at the spiciest level (I think 10?) and it was so good!!!! Perfect amount of heat for me and it builds progressively. The spiciness does not make it any less flavorful; it's tangy and sour and delicious! I also got some vegan curry puffs, very good, and tofu rolls, very good. My partner had chicken fried rice and it was very fishy, which was weird and unappealing. But that was the only fault with the order! Short review as my lips are still burning from my soup and I must recover. Whew!!! read more

This place would have received 3 stars based on the food, but the customer service is terrible. They make you use the kiosk to place your order, which makes it take 4 times as long to get your order in. The kiosk is difficult to navigate, often unresponsive to the touch, and even errored during my order. read more

Yummy bandaid (NOT tofu as can be seen by the edges and mouthfeel) Lack of food safety and the chefs don't care at all. Pintos used to be so good 2-3 years ago, but along with Covid, they've become absolute scumbags. Found a torn bandaid in my leftovers from yesterday. Thought the fibrous texture yesterday was just bean sprouts but I got a wonderful surprise this afternoon for lunch. I hope a food inspector comes and forces them to actually care about what they do to their food. Who knows what else they might be doing to the food if they're willing to disregard bandaids. read more

Pinto Urban Thai Diner - Yummy bandaid (NOT tofu as can be seen by the edges and mouthfeel) - Thai Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Ordered the Drunken Noodle w/tempura battered chicken. The thinly pounded chicken was deep fried, tough and greasy with no tempura batter. Tomatoes were raw. The shrimp Drunken Noodle was just Ok. Also, ordered sweet sticky rice with mangos. The rice was gritty like it was not cooked all the way through, not silky as sticky rice should be. They get 2 stars cause the salad rolls w/shrimp in rice paper were good but you only get 1.5 pieces. There are NO refunds or exchanges or I'd have gotten one. Don't recommend this place. read more

It was my first time we tried this restaurant and we liked it. I ordered a red curry fried rice with spring rolls and tofu which was superb and my wife ordered Pad Thai noodles with tofu and chicken Both me and my wife loved the food. The food was delicious, with just the right amount of spiciness. The food was incredibly delicious. My suggestion would be they could be generous in portion and charge few dollars more. We will be coming back. read more

I made a pick up order online and the communication on providing order updates was great. This was my first time eating chicken basil and now my expectations are super high. I look forward to trying different dishes from the huge variety they have read more

Pinto Urban Thai Diner - THAI STYLE CHICKEN BASIL - Thai Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Great food and quick service. However it's a bit pricy and I only went due to the convenience.

This place is so good! I came down with my daughter to visit friends and they highly recommended this place. They weren't wrong. The food is hot, fresh, and plenty! It doesn't taste heavily seasoned with msg like other places. The chef(s) use homegrown herbs and spices. They even make their own organic/vegan sauces and juices! My dad usually puts hot sauce on every dish, but it was so tasty he forgot it with his beef and broccoli. The basil fried rice was just right and light. I typically don't order noodle dishes with Thai food, but this time is glad I did! If you have a hankering for some Thai food, Pinto is where it's at! read more

SPICE is their name! Really hot, would get the lower levels to be safe. Portions have decreased in the past years and the quality as well. Kind of expensive so I wouldn't recommend for good thai, there's better in plano/10 minutes away for the same price. Weird smell that has begun to develop inside (gas problem maybe?) So sad because I used to like this place pre covid read more

This is a great lunch spot if you're in the area. It's the best Thai food I've found in Dallas, though I can't say I've been to many places and I've had better Thai elsewhere. It definitely has a quick student lunch spot vibe, and if you come by at lunch time you'll likely have to jockey for seats. This place is spicy. I've been going here fairly consistently, and I think I've decided I prefer level 2, though the difference between 2, 3, and 4 is subtle. read more

Ok so me and my boyfriend are Thai snobs- well we know good Thai food! And this is good Thai food for sure! I got the coconut noodle bowl, which was basically Tom cost soup with glass noodles. It was so good and creamy because the glass noodles soaked up the broth so basically became like a noodle cream dish. It was amazing. However, I give it a four because they don't use reusable plastics wear. You have to throw it all away, which I do not love read more

Aesthetics: I wasn't sure if the place was open. It was pretty dark in there and I almost kept walking. Someone walked out with a bag of food so I decided to give it a shot. Service: The service was fairly quick (about 7 minute wait) mostly due to the lack of customers at the time. Price: The prices are relatively high for food of similar flavor/quality. $9.99 for vegetable/basil fried rice is expensive considering the small portion size and the amount of vegetables that were included in the dish. Quality: The food was good and comparable to a few of my favorite take out places in the area. The corn patties were fried to perfection but tasted a little bland. The fried rice was good. The egg roll was great. I requested spice level 5 because I like my food HOT. It was great. Portion: The portion I received was less than what I was expecting for the price I paid but enough for two meals. Variety: They do have a large variety of options: vegan, vegetarian, seafood, cow, chicken, etc. Will I be back? I'll probably come back with friends but I won't go back on a regular basis. It's a great place to have on campus and convenient, but again, the price is where they lose me. read more

I love this place too many good things one modern storefront, fast food style walk in go to the iPad. Pick your food then how you want your chicken fried or cooked how spicy you want it, white or really good brown ,is there any allergies, What items you do not like, then within five minutes you'll have a nice hot meal taste absolutely delicious, and hot, fresh. What else do you want? for me It's perfect. Simple no nonsense, one plastic fork, one plastic bowl, rice and one napkin. read more

This is actually one of my favorite Thai restaurants ever. Perfect amount of oil, spice, and everything I've ordered off the menu has been bangin. Love it it's my go-to read more

This place is a typical ghost kitchen. Their food has never been consistent even when ordering the same dish. I don't know if the cooks keep changing or if they're untrained. The spice levels are a total miss. I couldn't eat the 3-level spicy noodle dish and when ordering level 2, it had absolutely no heat. Highest spice scale is 10 which is absolutely ridiculous.Anyway, I won't be visiting again. I think I've given them many chances. read more

The food was pretty good! I would recommend not going above a 4 in terms of spice level. The sweet soy noodles were textured and flavored amazingly. The vegetables were good but beef a bit dry. The appetizer was perfect. Drunken noodles were good, but very spicy, so size down on the spice. read more

pretty mediocre food for the price :/ I bought basil fried rice which was fine, but also got the tom yum soup and that straight up sucked. I paid about $7 for a small soup and it tasted like garbage. How do you call yourself a Thai restaurant when you can't even get the most prominent soup dish right. read more

Tried the vegetable spring rolls and the vegan chicken curry puff. Both were delicious!

The food is, at best, just edible. I got the PadTai, and it was one of the worst I had. It was legit spicy ketchup and mushy noodles. For the price I would just get the Jimmy John's next door. read more

Great, quick Thai food! It's a small restaurant, best for order and pickup. They have convenient Kiosks for placing ordered and fast service. The taste is always consistent which results in repeat orders. They know what they are doing here! read more

I love Pinto! One of my favorite Thai places! The food is so good and I always order from here being a UTD student myself! Price: Pricier than I'd like. Portions aren't very big for the price, but fills you up a bit. If it were cheaper, I'd go here more often but I do believe you get what you pay for: quality fooood. Food: As aforementioned, the food is awesome! I love the curry here and think they're of such great quality! I love Panang, pumpkin, and green curry (descending order of favoritism). Omgggg. I die. The pad thai is also really good. I get everything mild spice level cuz I can't handle any heat, but you get the option to adjust. No one can do spice level 10 so don't even go near that. Unless you're up for a challenge.. Environment: Always super chill and quiet every time I go, whether day or night. Not very spacious but there are about 4-6 tables to sit at I wanna say. Tips: Check in on Yelp for a free vegetable snack! I like the snack a lot. read more

Great vibrant location with good food. Unfortunately the people in charge of the restaurant know that and supplant the service with extremely small portions and high pricing. There are other thai places less than 3 miles away from this one with the same prices and food quality, but with DOUBLE the portions. The curry's are served with gargantuan amounts of rice with half its weight in curry. They are clearly aware of the convenience factor of the restaurant for apartment occupants. read more

Pinto Urban Thai Diner - Panang Curry - Thai Near Me - Richardson, Texas

I love the orange chicken and the convenient location! Seriously, even with the spicy level 3 you get some heat. In case it is not enough, you can take more sauce to make it as unique as you'd like. Wasn't too crazy about the portion of the drunken noodles, so I literally just stick to the orange chicken with white rice. Everyone I recommend this place to, loves it just as much. Sometimes the wait is a bit longer than expected, but you will get hot fresh food. Probably worth the trade off read more

Wow this place is amazing. The staff here is super friendly and they execute the food very well. The ingredients are fresh and the quality of the food is superb. They bring out the food in a timely manner. I really recommend the mango sweet rice. read more
