Peinto means "lunch box" in Thai, pronounced Pin-Tho-Tai-Kid-Chen.

Founded by husband-and-wife duo Gong & Bennie, the brand was born in September 2022.

Both originally from Thailand, Gong & Bennie came to the U.S. with little money but a big dream. Inspired by Panda Express, they set out to create their own path in the restaurant world.

Gong began his culinary journey in 2013 as a dishwasher. A year later, he moved to Las Vegas and worked as a cook, gaining experience in top resorts and casinos from Aria, Cosmopolitan, Palace Station, Tropicana, and Bally's.

Bennie, meanwhile, worked as an assistant pastry chef at Arawan Thai Bistro, then as a server at Yama Sushi, building her own knowledge of food and hospitality.

In 2020, they opened their first restaurant, Plumeria Thai Cafe. Two years later, they launched Peinto Thai Kitchen and their journey is still just getting started.
