I think this is hands down the sweetest customer service in Lafayette. The Pad Thai is bomb + the Napa Cabbage stir fry is divine.

Diner Review №2

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

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!

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.

Diner Review №6

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!

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.

Diner Review №9

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.

Diner Review №10

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

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

Diner Review №16

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!

Diner Review №17

Great food and service. Relaxed, casual atmosphere.

Diner Review №18

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!

Diner Review №19

Nobody at front desk at just before 5pm. Resturant says open. Waited 15 minutes-opened closed front door bell. We just left.

Diner Review №20

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.

Diner Review №24

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

Diner Review №25

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.

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

Diner Review №50

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.

Diner Review №64

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.

Diner Review №65

Best chicken pad thai in Lafayette!

Diner Review №66

Food was good for most part. Ribeye steak at a Thai restaurant? Yummy!!

Diner Review №75

Still the best Thai food anywhere if you ask me.

Diner Review №76

Great.

Diner Review №77

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.

Diner Review №78

The food was delicious! Did not dissapoint. The eggrolls were flaky and flavorful.

Diner Review №79

Diner Review №97

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...

Diner Review №98

Diner Review №99

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.

Diner Review №100

As always great food.

Diner Review №115

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!

Great experience. The spring rolls were heavenly as well as the egg rolls. Tried Pho 🍜 for the first time and loved it!!

Diner Review №127

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?

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.

Diner Review №163

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.

Diner Review №164

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.

Diner Review №165

Diner Review №166

Diner Review №167

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.

Diner Review №168

Always love the lunch setups. Soup is always amazing and love the basil fried rice(kpkp is the name on the menu)

Diner Review №169

Diner Review №170

Food was good, had much tastier other places.

Diner Review №171

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.

Diner Review №172

Great pad tai and egg rolls.

Diner Review №183

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...

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

Diner Review №195

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.

Diner Review №196

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!
