Craft dishes from around Thailand, including fried soft-shell crabs with chilis, in a simple space.
We had a wonderful meal at Pimon Thai! We started with the egg rolls as an appetizer, and they were perfectly crispy and full of flavor. They came out hot and fresh, and it was a great way to kick off the meal.
My husband ordered the Yum Woon Sen, and it was absolutely delicious. The dish had such a great balance of tangy, savory, and slightly sweet flavors, with plenty of fresh ingredients that made every bite exciting. He couldn’t stop talking about how much he enjoyed it!
I had the yellow curry, and it was everything I hoped for—rich, creamy, and full of warm, comforting spices. The sauce was so flavorful, and it paired perfectly with the rice. The portion sizes were generous, and I was happily full by the end of the meal.
Overall, it was a fantastic experience with flavorful, well-prepared dishes. We’re definitely looking forward to coming back and trying even more from their menu!
It had been many years since I have dined here. We dined early and were the only ones in there at first. Server was prompt, but she was the only server, so once business picked up she was a little slower getting to us but still good overall. The food was very good. I had the Pad tai and one of the lemongrass soups. I think the Tom Kam or something. My friend had a curry and it was good. If you want Tai food, check it out.
First time tried, would not want to go there again. I ordered Thai hot with extra veggies. Food came with few pepper flakes and doesn’t look has much extra veggies. I asked if they cooked with Thai hot and extra veggies, she said yes. Food wasn’t spicy enough and noticed they charged $4.25 for extra veggies that I can barely notice. My husband ordered fried rice, it has the color but no flavor. Most restaurants I tried in Lafayette, I keep wondering if there are any decent restaurants worth to go to. Another disappointed experience.
Everyone was very nice. Fast service and amazing food. I had the egg rolls and chicken pad-thai medium spicy! Sadly, I don't live here and was on my way to Houston from Port Fourchon. I will for sure come back whenever I am in town. Fantastic food!
Had lunch at Pimon Thai. The egg rolls were delicious and the dip was so good. Egg drop soup comes with lunch. It was authentic and the portion was perfect. I had chicken fried rice as an entree and it was so good. Server was professional and food came out quickly, which especially matters at lunch. Highly recommend Pimon Thai
I think this is hands down the sweetest customer service in Lafayette. The Pad Thai is bomb + the Napa Cabbage stir fry is divine.
My aunt wanted to go here for her birthday because supposedly she’s he portions are bigger. My go to Thai food is Bangkok but decided to give this place a chance again. Never again. Food took awhile and didn’t taste fresh. Worst part of the experience was the SLOWEST SERVICE WE HAVE EVER RECEIVED. It wasn’t busy at all.. seems like there’s only one server which is ridiculous considering we are a party of 10 people. We ask for the check and it took forever to get to us. We waited longer to pay.. mind you that we were being patient but it just got to the point where we had to get up to go pay at the host stand since we saw someone there… HORRIBLE HORRIBLE. Better your service, but food was alright. Not worth the price for the quality though. Bangkok for the win

Always perfect...quality and price. Staff is so friendly and owner makes a point of meeting all customers. Pad prik hot was on point.

Food was wonderful, host and waitress were friendly and kind. Had a slight issue with credit card machine but can't fault them for that.

Yummy yummy!
Love this place!! Fresh food. The pad thai is amazing and the egg rolls. Wait. And the shrimp fried rice.

Best thai restaurant!
#1 reason: their fresh spring roll SAUCE! Unique to any other. Once I had it way back when they were at their 1st location further up Johnston; well, after that, there is now no reason for me to go somewhere that does not have it. And, I have never been to another restaurant that has it, so why go to those other places? They dont have The Sauce. Pimon Thai has won my loyalty, my heart, and my future thai food orders.
#2 reason: it doesn't really matter because they have THE fresh spring roll SAUCE. And, no i'm not talking about that thick peanut butter sauce everyone else serves. I mean, it was ok, 'til i had The Sauce. But, no, no, not that peanut butter-like sauce! No, I'm talk'n bout that clear little portion of genius; that clear sauce, with the little chunk of cucumber and that little slice of jalapeno, and that clean, wonderful flavor that complements the fresh crisp veggies and slightly warm chicken, held together with the cold, slick, rice paper wrap that is just a little stuck to its neighbor roll...!!!
#3 reason: alright come on, lets just go get us some fresh spring rolls from Pimon Thai! I'll take 2 orders just for myself. And, hey, but, y'all gonna have to order y'all's own cup of sauce, cause i need one just for me and my 2 orders of rolls! And don't think I'm joking, no!
This is one of our favorite restaurants in Lafayette! We eat here almost every time we stop in town. Must haves to try: Garlic Chicken or the Sesame Chicken and the sauce for the Egg Rolls are delicious!
Nobody at front desk at just before 5pm. Resturant says open. Waited 15 minutes-opened closed front door bell. We just left.
I love this place, its actually my favorite restaurant here in Lafayette. Thai food is out of this world amazing, everytime i come it blows my mind how good the food is. The waiters are friendly people and very catering. Been coming for a few years now since my father used to be a regular. I highly recommend getting the Panang curry.
Spent five minutes in lobby no one came restaurant open but no one answered. Could hear them chatting away in the back somewhere. Called out no luck. Even called number git an answer machine
This restaurant is a money hungry restaurant! They charge me 22% tip money as service charge without my concern. My total ticket was $145 and they are such cheap that they took credit card fees as $5 more, but service was it was too bad too, food was bad too ! And you will find 3 door in one lobby washroom door and the kitchen door. It’s really bad restaurant, never suggest anyone to go
Please, please, please clean your restaurant. Your food is excellent but the restaurant is extremely disgusting. We love the food there, but will not return until the place is adequately cleaned.
The food was tasty. They were a little light on the meat in the dishes but very flavorful. Its a nice place and the chef comes out to greet you and thank you for coming which is refreshing. The service was great they treat you like you're a friend coming over for dinner.
Good experience!!
Always delicious! I've always had something that was fantastic.
The food was delicious & the service was perfect.
Staff is incredible so friendly and attentive. Love this restaurant.
Really great food and good staff. One of my favorite restaurants in town.
Love the food here food to fit anyone and everyone
Good Staff and Great Service!!
Service was amazing and the food is very authentic!
I like the yellow curry with shrimp, spice level: hot. Service is great.
Good service and tasty food. I brought a guest and she loved it.
Food's pretty good the curry well it's kind of like everywhere else in town they kind of skimp out on the coconut milk but still it's a good restaurant
When there to celebrate my granddaughters graduation and was disappointed. Ordered food mild, it came out spicy. Waitress claim it was the ginger in the dish that made it spicy. ask to change dish to something milder and was informed that they would charge me for both dishes. How can they charge me for a dish they prepared wrong. Eventually she came out and informed me they can change my order and charge me for the replacement dish. We were a party of 20 and 5 of our parties food was prepared wrong. That was my first and last time going to this place.
Best place in town for Thai. Egg rolls are a must.
Great lil place for dinner
Absolutely love this place! I frequent often.The KP KP is absolutely delicious! Top notch services! Food is fresh even when I order before closing. Grateful for their awesome customer service!
Awesome Thai food. Order the Yellow curry Thai hot and garlic chicken Thai hot. You won't regret it.
Seriously the best food in Lafayette and always consistent with flavor, portions and always taking care of their customers.
Love this local place. Green curry was on point and was able to get fresh thai chili's on the side to spice it up a bit. Pad thai was excellent. Service was a bit slow at times but never totally forgotten about. Room was a bit dark for the type of restaurant and size, etc.
Best chicken pad thai in Lafayette!
Food was good for most part. Ribeye steak at a Thai restaurant? Yummy!!
Fried rice, chicken curry, larb, and the papaya salad was on point.
Food and service was great. Will be back.
Delicious food, just the right mix of flavors.
Delicious Thai food & warm friendly service.
The foods are good. Note: They charge 4% fee for credit/debit card payment.
Great food. Friendly atmosphere. Not many people anytime we go which is odd considering how good the food is.
There is no protein in the noodles.
Still the best Thai food anywhere if you ask me.
Great.
Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. We were at our table for an hour and 20 minutes before our food came. And that was after asking about our food twice. Several people came after us, ate and was gone before we were served. I got the tia ribeye, and it was a mistake. It didn't look like any ribeye I have seen, it was tough and I don't believe it was a ribeye. It had almost no marbeling. And that is what they said took so long. Oh well, we tried.
The food was delicious! Did not dissapoint. The eggrolls were flaky and flavorful.
My favorite place to order steak. Professional staff. Clean and chill environment. Been eating here for over 5 years and it's always a good experience.
We 2persons reached the restaurant from Alexandaria and we were looking for a good Thai Restaurant and ended up here We we’re presently surprised with great reception at the restaurant The hostess was very professional and plesent we ordered food n drinks and service was very very good and food just excellent with very authentic Thai green n red curries apitizers were good too Overall great experience we will surely visit again n highly recommend this place Enjoy Great Thai food here.
Best kept secret of Louisiana. Must visit when around. Vegetarian food was amazing. The ambience was superb. Crew were the best. Everything on time.
I put in a to go order 10 minutes before closing. Instead of being angry, they were overly accommodating knowing I was incredibly hungry! I hadn’t eaten all day! I was exhausted! Thank you!!!!
Delicious food and great service
The Tom Yum soup is so delicious please do yourself a favor and order it. I would give it one million stars if I could. This is fulfilling every soup wish I’ve ever had.
Good to see them back open to done in. Food was as great as I remembered!!
Hmmmmmm. Yum!
Best Thai in town for years and years
Always Great! Food, atmosphere, prices, always a great experience!
Great food and friendly staff!
Excellent food and treated very well
Take my money. Favorite place.
Excellent food. Definitely recommend
My Pad Thai was so good!!!! And the lady who took my order was very sweet. I will be back
Our meal was outstanding! We ordered an appetizer sampler tray; my wife got some sort of mushroom soup; and I had an omelet with minced pork and shrimp. The staff were attentive and the restaurant itself was beautifully appointed and had a warm ambience. Again, the food was delicious. I was so thoroughly seduced by my meal that I never even thought to take any pics...
We've really been enjoying the Pad Thai here - it's what my husband usually gets when we have Thai food. I had it here too because I know it's good, but I usually explore other items. Our son realized he loves curry here, and he was very appreciative that they didn't make him have veggies in it! Everything has been very good and the service has been very friendly and helpful. Prices seem to be a little more than other places, but I know we'll be back.
As always great food.
Mmm Thai tea.
If I could, I would give them a negative star. Horrible service. Long wait to get food. Rude staff.
We have reservations.we drive 2 hours for there food
We ware late 15 min.so they said we can not take you
Restaurant close time was 9:00pm.we make it at 8:00 pm.still they have not take us.
Good tasty food.!
Still one of our faves!
Food was.great and service as well!
One of my favorite Thai places to go in Lafayette, food is always good, although sometimes service is slow, but it will be worth it! We had the following:
-Crispy Spring Roll
-Fried Calamari
-Crabmeat Fried Rice
-Thai Ribeye - the sauce on the ribeye is very herby, and pack with flavor!
- Crying Tiger Ribeye - delicious and have a little spicy kick to it
-Roast Duck over Fried Rice - Tender roast duck topped with a savory glaze, served over Thai fried rice - the roasted duck was pretty decent, especially since you cannot find roasted duck anywhere in Lafayette
Good place for some Thai food!

My first time... the staff was professional - the hostess was friendly, the server was great and the food was very good!
Love the food. Great service. Yummy
Absolutely delicious, friendly service!
Always a Pleasure to go there!
I highly recommend their Chicken Pad Thai.
Great experience. The spring rolls were heavenly as well as the egg rolls. Tried Pho 🍜 for the first time and loved it!!
As a vegetarian, I asked for extra vegetables which I was prepared to pay for and I got home to a plate full of onions and bellpeppers. Hardly any tofu which was protein. Didn't eat half of the dish. Flavors are great but why would anyone want that many onions?
Love this place !
Food great and service as well...
Love this place and the people are awesome. Love the eggplant stirfry.
Loved it
Great food, service and atmosphere!
The best curry I have had in Lafayette.
319 - ginger stir fry - Pad Khing. Can't get enough of it.
Worst place I ever ate from I ordered sesame chicken with fried rice they gave me one big plate of sesame chicken that look like chicken feet and one small plate of fried rice I advise everyone who eat here go try out Kevin's seafood get your money worth
Amazing Pad Thai
Great food and service
Authentic Thai.
Clean, friendly, great prices! I love the hot Massaman curry!
Food was delicious!
Always delicious.
Definitely Delicious 😋
The "Host" at the host station tried to stick me and my wife and child next to a table of 24 loud talking people with PLENTY available seating elsewhere in the dining area. We did a "180"...and walked out. Oh, I blasted the host. Buh-bye...never to return. Don't put up with being treated like cattle. Sit where you are comfortable.
Would love to order, but no one ever answers the phone. Mae Som Noodle house it is then
The garlic chicken was good
Great food and service.
Excellent food, comfortable atmosphere, great service with a smile. Always a wonderful experience. Always consistent
I want to start by saying that I am a weekly (or more) customer and I’ve worked in the food industry for years. I hardly ever complain or even let the restaurant know if my order is wrong out fear of being “that person.” I understand firsthand that things happen, it gets busy, there could be waitr orders happening in the back that we don’t know about even if the restaurant looks empty, etc. However, Pimon Thai has missed the mark on many occasions in my experience. For example, I ordered pad Thai with no egg, and opened the box to see a huge fried egg on top. No big deal, I just removed it. Small issues like this have happened a handful of times. That isn’t the biggest deal, though. My main concern for them is that probably 1 out of 3 visits, my order is very late. A few times they’ve told me that no one put my order in. I waited over 2 hours another time for my meal. Sometimes they don’t give an explanation, they just tell me it will be a couple more minutes (usually about 15) but I hear the commotion in the kitchen, and I can pretty safely assume that they are throwing together my forgotten order. I have never been given any compensation, nor have I asked for any. Again, I never write bad reviews, and this isn’t necessarily a bad review. I LOVE Pimon Thai’s food and their staff is very, very sweet. If their food wasn’t so good, I would’ve stopped going a long time ago for the inconveniences that usually arise when I pick up my order. I just hope that the management takes this as a helpful tip to come up with a better system/implement better training/ whatever works for them to resolve this problem. I would hate to stop giving them business for simple, easily preventable mistakes.
Food was good enough, but pricey compared to my usual thai place. I also watched the staff yell at a delivery driver and make a scene at the entrance of the restaurant over spilled food. To be clear, it was obvious that the driver wasn't raising their voice, but the staff was. It just seems like it could have been resolved quietly and left a bad taste in my mouth. Wasn't a good way to spend my quiet evening out with the family.
Not only 2as the food great, but the service was too! The owner went up to each table to thank everyone for eating there. Since it was Valentine's day, they set up a really cute little photo booth and decorated the whole restaurant.
Always love the lunch setups. Soup is always amazing and love the basil fried rice(kpkp is the name on the menu)
Food was good, had much tastier other places.
We were there about a week ago for lunch. We’ve been here many times , and the service and food has always been excellent!
However, our server must have been having a bad day or really hates his job. He was the most inattentive and lackluster person I’ve ever dealt with. I had to ask him 3 times (3 TIMES) for a water refill. He sheepishly shrugged after I added the word PLEASE in a begging sort of way. We still left a nice tip. I was a waitress and so I totally get it, but this guy just sucked! Not sure I’ll be back.
Great pad tai and egg rolls.
Food is amazing really good service!! Highly recommended!!!
Shrimp in Garlic sauce is great. I also recommend the egg rolls. The prices are about what I expect to pay for Thai food.
Amazing authentic food!! The menu has a big selection and everything is delicious!!!
Always amazing food and incredible service. Their lunch specials are amazing! Entree, soup, and an egg roll for about $10 per person.
Excellent authentic Thai cuisine....great selection....choice of spice based on Thai experiences ...for those unfamiliar I would try a 2 medium....hot is hotttt by even Louisiana standards....soups are to die for...nice clear broth spiced perfectly with hint of special seasonings....if you are familiar with Chinese fried rice his fried rice will make others seem like plain rice....its to die for and one of my favorites anywhere...
One of my favorite restaurants since 1998
Tonight we chose Pimon Thai for date night. It was our first time trying Thai food and I don't think it'll be our last. Pimon Thai seems to have a nice quiet atmosphere with great quality food. Definitely an experience worth having if you're into trying new foods.
Food was great, and I could not eat all of it for how filling it was! Server was sweet. Atmosphere was chill.
Best Thai food in Lafayette!
We go here for all important reasons to eat out. Fast service and delicious food.
Our favorite Asian food restaurant. So much good food! We like the Pad Thai and the Pad Si Ew. Good service and friendly staff. Always enjoy our time at Pimon Thai
The food is wonderful. They do have a bar. If you get an entre you also get soup and an egg roll free. The spring rolls are the best in town.
How this place isn't absolutely slammed is amazing to me. So much flavor! The Gang Panang hot with fried catfish was absolutely outstanding! My wife had the Gang Dang with beef which was also very good. The Egg Rolls were also some of the best I've had. I am a big Thai food fan, and this is the best I've had!
Favorite local restaurant. Great food, great price!
Absolutely love this place!
