Local tips

  • Aim for an early lunch or early evening pick-up to avoid the busiest takeaway periods, especially on Fridays and weekends.
  • If you prefer milder food, mention it when ordering—many curries and stir-fries can be prepared with reduced chili heat.
  • Vegetarians and vegans can ask for tofu or vegetable-only versions of several dishes and clarify sauces if avoiding fish sauce.
  • Bring your own reusable bag or containers if you want to cut down on takeaway packaging waste.
  • Check opening hours in advance; the kitchen typically closes relatively early in the evening compared with sit-down restaurants.

A small Thai kitchen in the heart of Herning

Pinto Thai Take A Way sits on Østergade, one of central Herning’s main shopping streets, and feels more like a busy open kitchen than a formal restaurant. The space is compact and functional, with the counter and woks taking centre stage. As you step inside, the aromas of sizzling garlic, fish sauce and fresh herbs instantly announce that this is a place where the focus is firmly on flavour rather than formality. This is an everyday stop rather than a special-occasion dining room: expect warm greetings, an efficient ordering counter and a constant flow of takeaway bags going out the door. The atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious, ideal when you want something tasty, fast and comforting.

Flavours of Thailand in generous portions

The menu spans familiar Thai favourites: fragrant green and red curries, creamy panang, stir-fries with crunchy vegetables, fried rice and several noodle dishes such as pad thai. Many plates lean into a balance of sweet, sour and spicy, with lime, chili and fresh basil cutting through rich coconut sauce. Portions are known for being on the larger side, making it easy to share or to stretch a single order into two meals. Heat levels can usually be adjusted, from mild and aromatic to properly fiery, so both spice-shy diners and chili enthusiasts can find their comfort zone. Rice is typically included or available at a modest surcharge, turning a single curry into a complete, filling meal.

Vegetarian and vegan-friendly choices

Pinto Thai Take A Way has built a reputation for offering plenty of meat-free dishes alongside chicken and beef staples. Many curries and stir-fries can be prepared with tofu or only vegetables, and staff are used to questions about ingredients. For vegans, sauces without fish sauce or egg-based elements can often be arranged on request. This flexibility makes the place particularly handy for mixed groups where some want classic meat-based Thai dishes while others prefer plant-based options. With generous portions and colourful vegetables in most plates, it is easy to assemble a satisfying vegetarian or vegan spread without feeling like an afterthought.

Casual setting with a front-row view of the woks

While takeaway is the main focus, there are typically a few simple seats or waiting spots where you can perch with your food or watch orders being cooked to order. Stainless-steel counters, open views into the kitchen and the clatter of woks create a lively, almost street-food feel, despite the indoor setting. You may find yourself drawn to the sizzle of chili hitting hot oil or the sight of noodles being tossed over a high flame. It is an unfussy, practical environment: bright lighting, clear menu boards and a steady stream of regulars picking up their usual orders during lunch and early evening.

Quick, inexpensive meals in a central location

With its address right in central Herning, Pinto Thai Take A Way is easy to combine with shopping, errands or a stroll through town. Prices are relatively modest by Danish standards, making it an appealing option for students, workers on a lunch break or families looking for a flavourful dinner without table-service formality. Because of the takeaway focus, food typically comes packed in sturdy containers that travel well, so you can carry your pad thai or curry back to a hotel, home or a nearby bench if the weather cooperates. For a small outlay, you get a substantial, freshly cooked meal that offers a taste of Thailand in the middle of West Jutland.

When to come and what to expect

Opening hours lean heavily towards lunch and early evening, and closing times are often earlier than late-night spots, so it is wise to plan around the dinner rush rather than a midnight snack. Weekday lunchtimes and Friday evenings can be particularly lively as locals swing by to collect food on their way home. Expect friendly, direct service, a short wait while dishes are cooked, and little in the way of lingering over the table. Pinto Thai Take A Way is all about efficiency and flavour: step in, choose your favourite curry or noodles, and step back out into Herning with a warm, fragrant bag in hand.
