Bangkok Pinto

Menu price online is incorrect, prices are higher, and curry doesn't come with rice you pay $3 extra if it isn't 11am-3pm. Small portions, my large green curry came with barely any liquid, so I was eating rice with a drizzle of sauce and the vegetables that came with it. I love green curry and was just disappointed by the lack of green curry. The owner is nice but it isn't somewhere I can order from again

This place is awesome! Delicious thai food. The owner is so friendly and always remembers me. This is the only take out place where I tip well and it deserves all the business you can get. It also has tables for dine in so it’s a great spot to grab lunch in between classes!

I absolutely loved Bangkok Pinto! The food came out quickly and the staff was extremely kind and helpful! I'm absolutely looking forward to coming back, as the food was also tasty. It's definitely a Northeastern-oriented restaurant, but good for all!

The one lady I interacted with was very nice. I got the chicken for protein in my rice. It was the most suspect chicken I’ve ever seen. The texture and color were both off and the rice tasted like it was older than usual. I won’t be back. Eeeeeyyuuccckkkk!!!!

I used to love this place for takeout but I feel like quality has gone down over the last year. Ordered mama pad Thai and it was so bland, my spicy popcorn chicken was burnt and the quantity was pathetic for what the price is. Won’t be coming back.

I attend this restaurant at least three times a month. Not only is the food consistently INCREDIBLE, but the welcoming atmosphere and kindness from everyone who works there. This place is a gem and I would recommend it to anyone. There is nothing on the menu that I wouldn't recommend. If you want good eats and a smile on your face go to Bangkok Pinto!

Not bad place, but I personally didn’t like the food. I think it is fairly good for take out but we dined in and the food tasted like it was ready freezer food. I dont think it is worth the money for dine in. The staff was really friendly. But I think the price should be a little lower for what you get.

Last semester, I was commuting to college and often staying late on campus to avoid traffic. I came to this restaurant so often for dinner, that the owner herself now recognizes me by both name and appearance. She is the sweetest lady ever, she radiates hospitality, and her smile is like sunshine. Her and her partner make great food, always reliable and comforting, and easily my go to for a quick take out meal when I’m in the area. Now, my boyfriend and I come here almost weekly for dinner and she always welcomes us with a warm smile and delicious food. Thank you Ching!

Such a delicious hidden gem! You order at the counter but can sit inside. The server was very friendly and service was very fast. I was worried when the pad see ew came out light, but it was excellent and filling. The crab rangoons were also delicious. 10/10

Quick trip into the city and we got a little hungry. Popped into this adorable little spot. The hostess was so sweet when greeting us. They opened at 3 and we got there at 3:01. It was a cold day and she directed us to the seating near the heater (barely felt the heater though). There's limited seating, seems more set up for grab and go or quick lunches. Service was quick and the food was okay, decent flavors, nothing to write home about, just on Yelp. The price point was a bit high for such a tiny portion size. They took great care with the tofu and it was nice to have food that was piping hot. Not sure we will go back, but the college students love it.

Such sweet and accommodating staff and quick to make orders! This small restaurant was a staple for me during COVID and still is. Their food is oddly comforting to me and soooo tasty! The lady at the front is also the best person, always is happy to see customers! Highly recommend their pineapple fried rice and crispy chicken pad Thai!

Just had my first taste of my neighborhood thai takeout and I am very satisfied. I only tried the Tom Yum soup which many know to be a hot and sour soup with your choice of chicken, shrimp or tofu and their "Pinto" fried wings which were a flavor bomb. Imagine marinating chicken wings with the same flavors of the hot and sour soup including lemon, lemongrass chiles etc then breading and deep frying them. Really good. As good as any chicken wings in the area including near by Slades. P.S. the lady at the front was so nice and attentive she made the whole experience 110% better.

11/11/22 -crispy chicken teriyaki fried rice: got this because a friend suggested it to me and it was so good! it's basically just a bed of egg fried rice topped with teriyaki crispy chicken and scallion. the fried rice was so flavorful, albeit salty. i just wish there were some veggies mixed into the fried rice, to give it more variety. the crispy fried chicken on top was also great; it kept its crispiness even though it was drenched in teriyaki sauce. the portion was definitely enough to split into two meals, so i'd say that the $16 is worth it. (4.5/5) 12/6/22 -crispy chicken pad thai: was a bit more disappointed in this dish only because the crispy chicken just wasn't as good as i hoped. the crispy fried layer was too thick imo, so each bite just tasted mostly like oil. the pad thai on the other hand was so good! sometimes their pad thai is inconsistent, but it was particularly good on this day. it wasn't too oily, and all the flavors blended well together. i do wish that they had added more bean sprouts, but it wasn't a big deal. i kind of wish that i didn't get the crispy chicken since it cost $3.50 extra, and had to end up paying a total of $16. but once again, it's quite affordable when the meal is split into two. (4/5)

$18 for Crispy Pork Belly Fried Rice.... The portions of the pork are insanely small now. I used to order all the time the past year. I don't understand how they can charge this much for basically just rice. The pork pieces used to be way thicker and bigger, but now they're just scamming.

Wow. I work in the area now and am SO glad I found this place. I will be a regular here. Got the Gra Pow and a shrimp Tom Yum soup and both were so flavorful and perfect. Heat and citrus and basil and garlic just smashing you in the face like it should with great Thai food. Bravo! Also the owner couldn't be nicer...she made me feel at home. This place is legit. UPDATE: have also discovered the greatness of the Green Curry (I like it with salmon and "spicy") and the Pad See Ew, also "spicy." And definitely don't forget about the chicken fingers on the app menu...literally perfect. MORE NEW FAVORITES: crispy pork belly on fried rice (best fried rice ive ever had), Bangkok noodle soup w/ beef (beef is so tender and you get a lot of it), their "crispy chicken" is amazing and comes in a bunch of different dishes. It's got a thick, irresistable crust.

Best pad thai in Boston (perhaps the world). Never disappointed me in the 5+ years I've been coming here. Extremely clean, kind, and FAST! Stop by and leave a tip because they deserve it!

The service has been great and the manager is really nice. The food is incredible and this is one of my favorite restaurants.

I have been dying to try this place because my sister and my coworker had recommended it. I got my usual Thai order of pad see yew and tried a little of my coworker's basil fried rice. Both were good. I just have to say that the pad see yew sauce was kind of like a thick gravy. I like it when the noodles are a little bit more stir-fried. My other coworker got the pad thai and said she didn't enjoy it all because it was too sweet. Overall, I think it was a very average Thai place and nothing to rave about or go out of your way for.

10/10 Food 10/10 Service 10/10 Cute place New favourite spot in Boston. Def a must try!!! I got the crispy pork belly fried rice and ascended to heaven, i'm not even exaggerating.

BOMB. Crispy chicken was CRISP AF. The flavor on the pad see you.... To die for. I honestly could've eaten the pad see you without the crispy chicken, so that says a lot about the flavor of the noodles!!! Super delicious and was not disappointed. I do wish their prices were lower though... btw they accept husky card @northeastern students!! Service was great, front woman was super nice and friendly!

The best Thai food in Boston for comfort + the soul. My partner and I LOVE Thai food. In fact, we're quite spoiled being from California and having had some of the most authentic, mouth-watering, hits-home Thai food everrr. Bangkok Pinto is our absolute go-to. And we are so loyal, we don't care for any other Thai restaurants in the city. We always get the Drunken Noodles and Pinto Chicken Wings - 100% recommend. We love the owners -- the woman who runs the cash register is the sweetest, most humble being. We are delighted each time we visit and order for take-out, knowing that we are supporting a true gem of a small business. We wish them so much love.

Cute spot on Newbury!! Starting to be a regular on here! Crunchy Roll & Fried Pork Dumplings are my usual!!! So fresh always. Food and service was great! staff handled everything wonderfully! 10/10 would recommend!!

After waking up this morning feeling a bit under the weather, I decided today would be a perfect day to order UberEats. I ordered Pad Thai from Bangkok Pinto and within 25 minutes my driver arrived with an aromatic scented batch of warm noodle goodness. Yum! Highly recommend!

Nicest lady on the planet runs this place, and the food is pretty solid as well! Went here on a recommendation of a friend, didn't disappoint in the slightest. Got Pad Thai chicken, was everything I dreamed it would be, and for a half decent price to boot!

[takeout review] The food here is so good! I tried the popcorn chicken, udon curry and the pad paradise. Honestly, everything was a hit. I loved the udon curry the most. Normally thai curry is pretty spicy, but this curry wasn't - which is a huge relief to me because I cannot handle my spice. The curry was very rich and tasty. The pad paradise was top notch as well. Would definitely be ordering here again!

This small and cozy restaurant is located at the Roxbury side of Northeastern University on Tremont Street. The outside of the restaurant is painted in a soft, glowing grass green color that makes it stands out instantly from the rest of the neighborhood. The place serves typical, traditional Asian food. There are a lot of items on the menu with no surprises in their authenticity and tastes. Even though one of the smallest restaurants in the area, this place made me feel like home. It has become my comfort food place. I often find myself drawn to the store for its homey and warm vibe. Case in point- on weekends, when the owner of the restaurant is free, she takes it upon herself to greet the customers and make sure everything goes well. Since I've been there plenty of times, she even remembers my go-to order. I've never failed to see a smile on her face. People say customer service is the key to a successful business. The owner really does a great job to extend her enthusiasm, and I've gotten similar, positive feedback from my fellow Northeastern students. My go-to orders include the pad see ew, duck noodle soup, kao mun gai- steamed chicken with ginger rice and a sweet & spicy sauce. Kao mun gai is one of the healthier dishes in the restaurant. It is not on the menu yet, but you can find its picture on the wall. I also enjoy their Udon garlic noodle, Thai iced tea, and popcorn chicken occasionally. One suggestion I have: maybe consider NOT using plastic boxes as plates; they are detrimental to the environment. Overall- refreshing spot in the Roxbury neighborhood, authentic taste and consistent quality, superb customer service, could use some improvements but overall amazing place!

I love this place! Staff is very friendly and they also accept husky dollars which is great for students.

What a cute little place! The staff are SO friendly and SO attentive. It's a small restaurant, but it's so well organised and beautifully decorated. Love it! The food is quite unique, and I really enjoyed the different approach to spices combinations that they had! In particular, I really like the lemon spicy buffalo wings. That was quite unique in both taste and texture! It's simultaneously zesty sour and spicy with a grilled-fried skin powdered with spicy powder. Yums!! Green Curry: This was on the lighter side of tastes, but I actually really enjoyed it. There was an abundance of vegetables, and the curry was actually a good amount of spicy. The chicken had an interesting texture, but I can't decide if I like it or not. This is definitely a really awesome place to have food with a few friends! It provides a unique "fusion" experience, and I think a lot of people would find it refreshing and fun.

Gave them a call for a pick-up order and it was a very smooth process! Ching was very friendly and made my Thai Iced Teas fresh so the ice wouldn't melt, since the weather was so hot. I ordered two Pad Thais, and they were able to accommodate by brother's dietary restrictions. I'll definitely be back!

If you spend over a certain amount, you get a free scallion pancake! Don't split your check! I had the drunken mama noodles and thought that they would be spicy but they were not for me. Easily get more hot sauce. Everyone really enjoyed their food and didn't have any leftovers

This was the worst and saddest Tom Yum soup I've ever had. It had only 2 dumplings and tiny pieces of mushroom. The curry flavor is bland. It's practically flavorless. It's not fresh. Such poor quality in food. How can you serve this food to anyone and be proud of the quality?? Never ordering from this place again. It was just an utter disappointment.

I went to this place for a snack before an arranged dinner someplace else. The woman working was very nice and showed me around the menu. I ordered the popcorn chicken mango, coconut fried banana, and Thai iced tea. Some of the best finger foods I've ever tasted. I just wished there was more food for the price. I savored every bite though. The chicken pieces were small and delightfully crunchy. Tasted great even without the mayo sauce. Coconut fried banana was as delicious! 5 thick rolls, about a finger long. I mostly tasted banana (inside roll). The Thai iced tea was okay. I'm not a big fan of Thai iced tea in general, so I've learned after a couple drinks in my life. At least it wasn't too sweet or powdery. I was on vacation in Boston and if could, I would come again someday to try an entrée.

Two stars for the quick delivery and for the Thai iced tea. Food however was truly one star. I ordered the Mama's tom yum noodle soup and was extremely dissatisfied to find the packaged ramen quality noodle in my tom yum noodle soup. It took me awhile to realize that when the restaurant says Mama's, they meant the Mama brand instant ramen which has MSG and preservatives in it. I just can't even fathom serving packaged ramen noodle with any dish and passing it off as authentic Thai food or even charging more than $5 per dish or even putting it on a menu. I can buy a whole box of Mama brand tom yum ramen noodle for under $8.00. I felt like I was a college student on a budget and eating instant ramen but with a few precooked frozen shrimps thrown in for protein. I am still in shock and it only got worse from there. The chicken and coconut soup was overly sweet. I I tried my best to finish the chicken in the soup but could not finish the soup. I had similar experience with their seared beef salad. It was way too sweet. Neither my husband or I wanted to finish any of the dishes. I am unsure how this restaurant received such high ratings. I would not recommend this place to anyone I know and most definitely will not be ordering again.

I ordered the 'Crispy Tofu Basil' for the entree as part of our to-go order. Please note that the 'basil' in the title is extremely misleading. There is NO basil in the entree but a couple of very sad looking kale stems in the curry. The fried tofu pieces were big triangular pieces and looked very unappetizing. A big part of enjoying food is how it looks and this place really lacks the esthetic of presenting.

This isn't the best Thai food I've ever had but this is probably one of the best Thai food places I've had so far during my time here in Boston. While residing in Chinatown, I was craving Thai food but I didn't want to go to Montien or My Thai Vegan so I decided to yelp search a Thai restaurant along the orange line and this place popped up. I went with a friend and we were both craving some Thai food, but I was particularly craving Phad Thai noodles of some sort. The waitress at the restaurant greeted us and sat us after walking 5 minutes from the Orange Line and entering this place. The restaurant is very small with only 3 tables and a counter with 2-3 chairs. The waitress was super friendly as she asked us if this was our first time at this restaurant and how we found this place. We ordered Mama Phad thai and Drunken Noodle, both excellent in flavor and for the price! The Phad thai I ordered was interesting since it was made from Thai instant noodle. She also brought us a sample of their Crab Rangoon as a friendly gesture to welcome us to their restaurant and to try their most popular appetizer. If I was craving Thai food, I wouldn't mind hopping back on the Orange Line to this place. The super friendly waitress, the food, and the price will make me want to return very soon!

It's a great Thai place by Northeastern University making it super convenient for anyone who lives around Columbus or Tremont area. I always opt for their lunch specials since I personally feel like they are the most worth! You can call in ahead to place an order for pickup, dine in their cute space or order at the restaurant. I've done all three and service was all super prompt! I've had their pad Thai with chicken, their massaman curry lunch special which comes with rice as well as their drunken noodles and Thai iced tea. Honestly all the food is super yummy and you can't go wrong with it! If you do stop by dinner time, just note their prices are different and portions may be a little bit different too so if you're looking for the best bang for your buck, I recommend stopping by during lunch times if you can!

I love Bangkok Pinto! My boyfriend and I order from them every Friday night, and the food is always delicious. Our favorites are the yellow curry, pad see ew, and mango sticky rice Whenever we have questions the staff are super friendly and helpful--by this point they feel like our friends!

Udon curry with chicken- sauce was delicious but meat undercooked so I didn't eat the chicken. My husband liked his pad see ew with pork. Crab Rangoon was bad all cream cheese no crab or flavor

The owner(ching) is the friendliest lady you will ever meet! I love her. And the food is great! The best comfort food around northeastern campus. My favorite is the pad paradise. Definately drop in and say hi to Ching!

Their chicken wings are literally crack. Very juicy and nicely deep fried wings and they toss it in this dorit-dust-tasting powder that tastes salty / spicy / sweet / zingy all at once. Pretty amazing, they should just call it dorito chicken wings

This has become our number one place to order Thai from in the Boston area. The food arrives hot, and the restaurant makes sure the containers are optimal for the food they have; things that should stay crispy have a little venting hole so it doesn't get soggy on the delivery over, and dishes like drunken noodles are kept tightly wrapped for maximum heat and humidity. The dumplings, the pad Thai, the drunken noodles, the duck... gosh I'm getting hungry just writing this up.

Hidden gem tucked behind some Northeastern dorms - would recommend for anyone in the area, especially students (yes, they do take Dining Dollars!). There would be days where I would consecutively order from here and not get bored - the portions are generous and food packs a punch! Not pictured, but I also highly recommend adding crispy chicken as a topping to any of your meals :) On top of the excellent food, the woman who works there is an absolute sweetheart! Please support this local small business!

This is by far the best Thai food, hands down. I have been ordering with Ching for at least 3 years and every meal is always SO satisfying. Thank you, Ching and your wonderful team! Highly recommend the Bangkok Pinto Wings!

Highly recommend this place! The service is amazing. The woman at the front is very attentive and personable. The food is so good! My friends and I ordered one of almost everything on the menu. We plan on trying everything. But I recommend the pad Thai, pad see ew, yellow curry, the mama noodles. All tasty dishes. I will definitely be returning.

The people who work there is very friendly. The Mama Tom Yum Noodles Soup is so delicious! My only suggestion would be that they add more veggies, such as broccoli or sweet peas, to the soup.

this place has some of the best thai in Boston. tons of vegetarian options. the mama drunken is my favorite, closely followed by the udon curry for vegetarian food. the bangkok garden is a super healthy option if you eat meat.

I love the food here the pad Thai delicious, pinto wings have a good crunch, the flavor I describe as like salt and pepper and lime. It's an aquired taste but I like them. The mango fried rice is so delicious and they used fresh sounded mangoes. So delicious. The superior duck was good too. I've had their scallion pancakes and their vegetables spring rolls I'd have to say the dipping sauces for both are good. I'd def order take out from them again. Also customer service is great and place nice and clean.

Came here on a Sunday afternoon. The lady that greeted us was super friendly. The place has a nice decor and the place feels very comfortable and homey. We ordered the massaman curry, coconut fried rice, and the mango sticky rice for dessert. massaman curry is on the sweet side. It's creamy and rich and it was good with the rice. Coconut fried rice had coconut flakes on the top and it was savory and good too! The highlight for me was definitely the mango sticky rice. It was gooey and sweet. Just the way I like it. Overall a really good dining experience!

This restaurant is for-real, great Thai food, graciously given. Had Pad Paradise and Chicken Gra Pow (pick-up). Both done perfectly, still nice and hot, running over with flavor. Tom Yum Egg Paradise soup was perfect, full of meat, sliced mushrooms and Thai spices. The woman serving was friendly, gracious, and inspiring. A real burst of joy in these COVID-times!

This restaurant skimps on portions, and the crispy chicken is 50% fat. Much better off walking over to Pho basil IMO! Prices are the same and portions are much larger and taste better.

This is our go to Thai place and I realized I never were a review... Bangkok Pinto is a wonderful little place on the edge of Northeastern's campus. When Covid-19 lockdown started my wife and I made a list of places we wanted to support and order from more frequently because we would be even more sad if they didn't make it. They were at the top of the list. We have ordered Pad Thai, drunken noodle, pad see you, Yellow Curry, fried rice, fried chicken, and I don't know what else... My recommend is always Pad Thai (sorry I'm basic) but otherwise my recommendation is get whatever your favorite Thai dish is... I'm sure they will do it well. I don't think I've ever taken pictures of my food from here, it is gone too quickly...

Called in an order for vegetable pad thai and fresh rolls, and it was ready within 15 minutes! The storefront and interior itself is quirky and cute, and it smells clean inside (always a make-or-break for a takeout place, in my books). Seriously, the food was so good. Perfectly textured, evenly flavored, and generous with mix-ins, egg bits, scallions, etc. I mean, I really loved everything, even the way the vegetables and noodles were cut- the dishes just work so well without trying too hard. Service was A+, portions were more than fair, location is easily accessible, and ordering was easy and error-free.

I typically don't run into a place with such poor service. But I did. I came in and sat down to eat, asked for a rest room and at a sit down place in which they told me there is no rest room working right now. So I asked theme where they go, and they said they have a rest room upstairs in another building or something. I made it clear I needed to go, and the waitress did not care. So I ran two blocks each way and could not find a rest room, came back, told the waitress and she was still unwilling to accommodate. The soup was delicious. Amazing. But then our entrees, duck and a fish dish, were terrible. My GF asked to please take the entree after trying one bite and tasting it and feeling like it was undercooked and she would get sick from it. Not only was the waitress not empathizing for her, but she kept trying to push the dish back to her. I have never seen anything like it. So finally my GF said to her "can you please just take this back, it doesn't taste right." She went to the back, we heard yelling, and then the waitress came to my GF asked her "what's wrong with it, do you just not like it?" I couldn't believe how rude this lady was. I was in awe. The owner (it seems)/ maybe manager came out and was as nice as can be. She was caring and took time to talk to us, asked how things were, but we didn't want to be confrontational. So we just kept our mouths shut. Plus I was just trying to have my GF and I enjoy what we could of the terrible experience with the server. My advice is perhaps the staff could use better training on serving. I will say transparently, this lady was rude, unprofessional and seemed to just care about herself, not you. We still tipped, but I can't say we'll be back. Great soups. Absolutely delicious. Everything else, not so much.

Hands down the best Thai food in Boston. You can't beat the flavor or consistent flavor delivery. Ching is the best. She is so nice and always so accommodating to any customizations of dishes.

Great Thai place. We ordered pad thai, crispy chicken rice plate, and Thai ice teas. Food and drinks was great and the lady that took our order is super friendly. Excellent customer service.

Wow! Absolutely delicious food. I highly recommend! The food had so much flavor and was very comforting. They also gave me a lot of food, I had leftovers :) definitely try the teriyaki chicken fried rice!!

First time coming here and it was amaazingggg!! The lady at the register was super nice and friendly! The environment there was very cute and peaceful. I got the drunken noodles with tofo&veggies and it was so deliciousssds and flavorful!

Authentic thai... not so much. Add pork belly and get another star. Its take out thai in an area which needed the cusine. Its clean interior so juxtaposes it agaibst every other store on block. I don't like how lady when order "not done yet says coming soon have a seat first". She needs some bedside manner for interacting with customers and not force waiting people to sit. Online ordering is a plus.
