Excellent Thai dishes made with fresh ingredients. Everything we ordered was delicious. We will absolutely be back to Pinto Thai!

This is my favorite restaurant in Evanston. The food is fresh, and the price and portions are awesome. They take care of their customers. After more than 10 years of dining there, tonight they made their first ever mistake on one of orders. They called me before I even got home and offered to credit me the cost. When I told them I could come back for it, they surprised me with a double order. I'm grateful this restaurant is so close to my home, because I love them. Thanks, Pinto.

Visiting from VA. I saw this place and decided to give it a go. I must say it surpassed my expectations from the flavor to the portion size and to the freshness. I got the Singapore noodles (spicy) and wow, super delicious. Highly recommend.

This is my favorite Thai restaurant in the broader Evanston/Wilmette area. The Pad Kee Mao and Pad See Ew are my favorite dishes to order! The baby egg rolls that come with the lunch special are also very delicious as well. I have also had a great experience placing large catering orders with Pinto Thai. Overall, a go-to spot for me!

Great food. Lunch specials available all week. Pick an entree and an appetizer. Great service.

Highly recommend! The space is very cozy and bright. The staff goes above and beyond to provide excellent service and their food is delicious. They also have great lunch specials! I’ve both dined in and gotten take out several times and will definitely keep coming back!
