About the restaurant

Hed serving "Khao gaeng" is a typical way of eating a quick meal in Thai culture. Within one single meal--and oftentimes with only one plate--you get to taste different dishes with flavors and textures that complement themselves. Rice sits in the center, and a small portion of 2-3 stir-fries, soups, curries or fried items are served alongside. Hed presents this unique culture with our tri-colors rice from Thailand, an appetizer, a stir-fry, a curry, a fried item, a variety of sauces and seasonal ingredients

It was Friday and busy, but having to wait a tad bit more (even with having a reservation) was worth it! The flavor was real, and the service was great. The space is charming...right down to the lovely cocktails that were made so well. Returning to Pintoh is a must, and I cannot wait to try something new on my next visit.

Our new favorite Thai spot! Here are our must order the party wings, pad Thai, pork curry, and mango sticky rice! Portions are huge, always have leftovers. But my absolute favorite is the Thai michelada!!! Never had anything this unique and tasty before - Think spicy Thai salsa with fish sauce!

Enjoyed a post wine tasting meal. Very good presentation and attentive staff. Veggie egg rolls definitely a high spot. Green curry and pad thai good. Comes very mild so ask for spice if you like it a bit hotter.

Of the three Farmhouse Thai restaurants we’ve dined at, this Berkeley location has the best, attentive serving staff. Additionally the craft cocktails, appetizer (fried pumpkin) and entrees (pad Thai & short ribs on the bone) were delicious.

Nice food, tasty and well prepared. Plenty of choice for both vegetarians and non veggies. Service was friendly and the noise level was just fine that one was able to have a conversation with those on the other side of the table .
