Thai Pinto is always a solid place for Thai food in Chemainus. Great to see Art, our server — he’s always super friendly and welcoming. Even though the restaurant was almost full, we never felt like we were waiting on anything. Over the years the menu has expanded, and the new items are just as good as the classics. Every time I visit Chemainus, I make sure to stop in!

My girlfriend loves Thai food, so we checked out this little gem in Chemainus after seeing the great reviews—and it did not disappoint.
The food has that authentic, traditional Thai flavour without any gimmicks. The papaya salad was fresh, zesty, and served in a generous portion. The beef Pad Thai was spot on—flavorful, balanced, and true to taste.
The owner is super friendly, and the service was fast and welcoming. Prices are very reasonable, and there’s plenty of street parking nearby. Highly recommended if you’re in the area and craving real Thai food done right.

I’ve been ordering several times from Thai Pinto in Chemainus, and it’s always been a go-to spot whenever I’m craving authentic flavors. My usual favorite is the Som Tam (papaya salad), which I always get at Thai level spiciness. The taste has been consistently good, but I did notice some inconsistency in the serving—before, there used to be a generous portion of papaya, while now it seems more on lettuce, which feels more like a garnish than the main part of the dish.
I’ve also tried their Tom Yum soup, and while I found it had a lot of tomato chunks, the flavor itself was still comforting and flavorful. My meals are never complete without pairing them with their Thai iced green tea or Thai milk tea, both of which are refreshing and perfectly balanced.
Overall, the taste at Thai Pinto is good and worth coming back for, but I hope they bring back the generous papaya portions in their Som Tam to make it even better.

We had dinner here last week and found the food amazing: very fresh and flavourful with just the right amount of heat. The only glitch was that our dinners did not come together. I got my dinner in good time but my husband had to wait an additional 15 minutes before his arrived. There was one other table of maybe 10 people, it appeared as though they prepared my dinner but then my husbands got lost in the fray of preparing the dinners for the large table. So that was a bit disappointing but the food was tremendous and despite the glitch in the plate times, we will definitely go back.
Edit: We have since gone back and there was no issue at all with plate times. This is really a great place, the food is really fabulous and the servers very friendly and accommodating. Give it a try!

Great place to stop! We showed up for an early lunch just after opening so it wasn’t busy at all yet.
I really should pay more attention to the names of the people serving us because our waiter really was quite funny and so nice…laughing all the time and telling us funny stories.
I wasn’t overly hungry so had decided on the coconut soup with prawns but then spied papaya salad! Always get papaya salad! So delicious and a little spicy (by about mouthful 3, more spicy ) The soup was equally as good…beautiful flavour.
My hubby had the cashew chicken and said it was delicious.
I highly recommend a visit here if you’re in the area. If you’re not, take a road trip!

We ordered a green beef curry and a pineapple fried rice with prawns. Food was amazingly delicious! Love the extra detail of cashew nuts in the fried rice. Very authentic Thai cuisine.

Very welcoming with quick and knowledgeable service. We were never left waiting long and had some fantastic insight from our server Art about Thai iced tea. Food was delicious and the portions were large. The staff’s warmness and enthusiasm set a high bar for the rest of our trip in Chemainus.

We had no idea how good this place would be before walking in the front door. But our host/waiter was wonderful and helpful and entertaining. The food came fast, was hot and tasted great. The three of us each ordered a dish and shared amongst ourselves.
It was a warm evening and we are on the deck outside which was lovely and cool.
Prices were very reasonable considering how good the meal was. If I lived in Chemainus I would be eating here on a regular basis.
