It's been a while since I have dined in at Pimon Thai and it was amazing. Bee was our server and she was the sweetest server. The ribeye was cooked to a perfect medium rare and the Napa cabbage stir fry was the a great light lunch. We were able to take some food home so the perfect portions for us. To top it off, we got the mango sticky rice for desert and it was perfect mix of freshness and sweetness for us. read more

The website says the restaurant closes at 9pm. I got their at 8:20 for takeout and was told the kitchen was closed and they would not take my order. I am a travel RN who drives across the country a couple times per year. I have eaten here a few times prior. I suggest they look at their hours online and adjust them so that someone who comes 40 minutes prior to closing for take out is not turned away after a long day of driving. read more

Good food and nice service. Local place that's been open for years. They may close early if they aren't busy but worth a shot

Pimon Thai is Lafayette's original Thai Restaurant! It used to be located down the street in a much smaller place. However, it has been located in its current spacious quarters for a number of years now. This comfortable establishment has plenty of space to serve its customers! I've been eating lunch there for a couple of decades. The menu is extensive, and includes your favorite Thai dishes, as well as many you might want to try. However, I often just go in and order the Lunch Special. This is a regular menu item, that often includes a cup of soup and/or an appetizer along with it. Great way to try different popular dishes, and takes the effort out of the decision process. Last time I visited, Ginger Chicken was the dish of the day... I'm also very fond of their noodle dishes. I think that many people overlook the excellent Asian noodle choices. I'm fond of the clear noodles in Thai cuisine. Broad noodles are also nice. A note on the spice levels, which they will ask you about. When you order something hot or spicy, they aren't playing around. You could end up red and sweaty! I find medium is plenty for me, mild is probably best for those who do not enjoy the burn! read more

Excellent. Ordered the pad keemau. The spice level was spot on to my order. The service was attentive and we got our meals quickly. The manager stopped by to check on us. We found him warm and friendly read more

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! -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! read more

Owner always there with a staff who's been there forever. Which guarantees consistency, flavor and freshly prepared.

This is hands down the best Thai food around. When i'm in town, it's the first meal I eat!

First time here but certainly not the last! EVERYTHING we ordered was stellar! We tried the spring rolls (sublime dipping sauce unlike any we've ever had before!), Indian curry, Pad Khing, fried rice, and pad Thai. Each bite was better than the last and we cast a furtive glance around the restaurant to make sure no one was watching as we licked the plates clean. Their fresh crunchy vegetables were bursting with flavor and color and the tender meat was cooked to perfection. The staff/owners went above and beyond to be gracious, welcoming and friendly, even giving our kids popsicles after dinner. The entire restaurant, including the restrooms, was absolutely spotless even though we were the last customers of the day. Pimon Thai should be the #1 restaurant in Lafayette and I'd give them 10 stars if I could! read more

Love this place !! Best Thai food in Lafayette!! It's definitely a frequent stop on the weekends! read more

We hired Pimon Thai to cater a box meal for a school and they did an incredible job. The kids loved the fried rice with broccoli it was a big hit for little ones. 95 boxes perfectly done and still warm when served. MONTRE is very attentive and food is incredible. read more

The food was decent but not the best. Was missing some flavor and unfortunately they gave us the wrong spring rolls but over all not a bad experience. I do recommend the pineapple fried rice. read more

This is the first time I've been here for lunch. I've always come for dinner. They have a separate lunch menu and they show the choice of meat or seafood and state that you may choose catfish, flounder, and one other fish, so I ordered catfish. About 5 minutes later the waitress came back to the table and informed me that they don't serve fish for lunch - so why is it on the menu. I would have chosen a different restaurant if I had know this as I had checked the menu on-line first. My mother had the soup and egg roll that came with the lunch (I don't eat meat and both items had meat in them) both the soup and egg roll were barely warm. We both got the green curry, Mom's with shrimp and mine with scallops. Both dishes were hot, seasoned correctly and were very good. Both the shrimp and scallops were very good, but still disappointed about the catfish - as it would have been even better. read more

I grew up in Lafayette, so I love good food! I come to visit my mom, who still lives here, and Pimon Thai is always first on my list! I live in Birmingham, so we have many very good Thai choices. Pimon Thai is our favorite, by far!! read more

They let me eat there and pay for it using a relatives card to pay for it. The broccoli and beef was good

Excellent food. Service can be slow sometimes depending on how crowded and what day you visit. Staff is very nice. Ambience is just average, Nothing special. read more

Consistently quality food. We especially enjoy the garlic chicken and egg rolls with the sauce that comes with it. Only negative would be that like many restaurants in this area, they charge extra if using credit card. read more

Excellent food, service, drinks, and kindness! We had a wonderful meal here for my daughter's birthday and they so sweetly brought her coconut ice cream and fried banana with a candle! So adorable!! Food was incredible, drinks were so delicious and refreshing and service was so attentive and kind. Will return and I so recommend!! read more

Absolutely favorite Thai place to eat in Lafayette!! And you can trust me because Thai food is my favorite. The only reason this is getting 4 stars instead of 5 is because the ambience and aesthetic of the restaurant isn't great. I've tried almost everything on the menu and you really can't go wrong here. read more

Im 90% sure this place gave me e-coli. I only ate out once after recovering from an infection and it was here. Only for a few days to pass and I am sick with e-coli! Also came back a second time (I didnt think at the time this place made me sick) and there was a man sick in the bathroom with the wife standing by the door checking on him. There was also an employee who was walking to the kitchen coughing a lung out. Not good during a pandemic. We quickly left. The service isnt good and the manager looks so strict and mean. read more

Exceptional! Lunch is the best value. It comes with what they call a setup, meaning, egg roll & soup of the day! My favorite is the garlic chicken Thai hot and red curry with beef, Thai hot! Delicious! Be ready to sweat or order less hot! read more

This place was awful! The Asian server took forever to come say hello and when she did she just stood there expecting us to start the conversation but when she went to her Caucasian customers she spoke a whole conversation with them. Food tasted horrible. The atmosphere looked nice. The plants on the windows were all dead though. The Asian guy that sat us was nice even though he barely spoke and understood english. We will never come back here again. read more

Amazing food. Solid service. Can't complain at all. Hidden gem. If you like your food spicy then this is the place for you

All of their dishes are freshly prepared and delicious. The eggrolls with the sauce are the best anywhere.

Have tried many Thai restaurants in town, so far this is a favorite by far! Very flavorful Thai curries and unlike another local place, there was no shortage of vegetables in it and the beef was thinly sliced and tender. Would definitely recommend! read more

RACIST!!! Threatened to call the cops because they brought us the wrong order, and the corrected order wasn't cooked well. The manager came up to "fix" the situation but told us we had to pay for it since we ordered it twice. We told him we would pay for it if we needed to but that it was THEIR fault we ordered twice because the initial order WASNT what we ordered. The manager brought us the ticket, with everything we ordered on it, and walked away and began yelling at us across the restaurant that he would call the cops since we weren't leaving. There were customers and employees present and I made it very clear that I didn't appreciate him yelling at me across the restaurant threatening to call the cops on paying customers, because we were displeased with one of the menu items. I'm 9months pregnant and had a craving for this place after eating here just 3 days ago but I will NEVER support this restaurant and it's racist management again. read more

The food is a hit or miss. This time it was pretty good! The service was really slow, but I'm not sure why because we were the only people in the restaurant. We ordered Larp which is basically ground pork seasoned and served with cabbage. If you're into very strong fish sauce taste then this is the dish for you. I ordered the Tum Yum soup and it was good. It's a lemon grass base soup and I ordered mines with chicken. The soup is light and flavorful. I love the renovations of the restaurant. It looks very modern and makes the place more inviting. I will definitely be back! read more

This was an amazing dining treat! It's hard to believe it's been open for 20+ years and I've never gotten the chance to visit ! Fabulous service, excellent and flavorful food, I cannot say enough! We sampled 4 appetizers- Thai ribs, chicken satay, regular AND fried spring rolls, all delicious. Then we got the Thai yellow curry on the soft shell crab (!!great!), combo beef/chicken/pork basil fried rice (very good), and scallop gang go rhee (sp? But was the absolute FAVORITE DISH of the table with wonderful ginger flavor in the coconut curry) . I cannot say enough wonderful things! And what's more for Mother's Day tomorrow all moms get 50% off!!! Keep up the fabulous service and food!!! read more

Best vegan fried rice in town! We get the hot basil fried rice, no egg no meat no fish sauce. We added cashews and broccoli and it delicious! Fresh vegetables, not too greasy and the leftovers are even better the next day :) read more

We went here for lunch and I was pretty disappointed. We ordered the chicken spring rolls and you could tell they were not made to order. They tasted stale and dry. Then I ordered the pad Thai which just didn't taste like pad Thai at all. We will not be returning here for sure. read more

Can't count the number of times I have been here on all of my fingers and toes. BEST Thai food in Lafayette. Always fresh and amazing quality. Top 10 restaurants in town in my book. EDIT: So Pimon Thai has re-opened after their kitchen sadly burned down. And I have to say, they are back and better than EVER! We went and shared plates of our favorites, and it seemed as though their portions got larger as well. Their return was MUCH anticipated, and definitely didn't let us down! read more

While Thai Cuisine does have superior curry dishes to Pimon, Pimon Thai has far, FAR superior noodle selections. Try the Pad Kee Mou (number 24). They will make just about anything vegan or vegetarian and the tofu is cooked to perfection! UPDATE: I still eat here all the time, but the waitstaff seems to be suffering. The last two visits this week I waited entirely too long to order then waited even longer for my food. Still very delicious food, but do make sure you are in no rush. read more

Food was all Ok here. The dishes all look better than they are. And it is quite an Americanized version of Thai. I have been here twice and finally decided to look elsewhere for Thai in Lafayette. With such great reviews I thought the place would be outstanding. I came to the conclusion that people in this town do not really know real Thai. Well, maybe not just yet. I will have to try other places. Thai food is one of the healthiest on the planet, specially if minimal oil is used. But not here. They cannot stir-fry a dish without it having breaded and oily thick sauces to their plates a la General Tso's chicken. This is still a good alternative to junk Chinese food and more flavorful but it is not authentic. Junk food. They take pretty dishes with fresh ingredients and turn it into junk food. It is still edible and tastes OK , but it is just not the real thing, people. The first time I was there I ordered a couple of dishes that I know well and did not expect them to come out like this. But both came out like this. I did not say anything. On the second visit, I specifically ordered a non-breaded stir fry. Fifteen minutes later the lady came out and told me no one in the kitchen knows how to do this! Where do these people come from? Take-out Chinese? So I ordered a curry. Not bad. Not great. Stick with those or the soups. I did not see any problem with the size of the portions. More food and I would be sick. I still left feeling let down. I could not get any chicken, pork, shrimp, or beef dish without it being heavily breaded and loaded with oily sauces. I wondered if this place could survive in this town if they did it right. I will reserve my judgement until I visit the other Thai food joints. read more

I've now eaten at Pimon Thai ten times or more and it is fabulous each and every time. I need to venture out beyond my staples but they are all so good that I am having a hard time ordering other dishes... So if you have one of the below dishes and you think it sucks, it probably doesn't. -- Pho - This is not the Pho you get in a Viet place, but the Thai interpretation of it. I get it with the glass noodles as I prefer them to the thicker Thai noodles they normally use. I also get it with chicken. It is spicier than the Viet pho, has more green vegetables in it, but is equally as satisfying. -- Beef with ginger sauce. I didn't like this dish at first, but as I continued to inhale it, it got better. Not sure why.. oh wait, maybe it was because of the fact that it took a while for me to get used to my mouth being ON FIRE as I was eating it. I only ordered it medium hot, but it was way hot. After the blazing cauldron in my mouth settled a bit, I really enjoyed it. -- Thai fried rice. OMG!!! This stuff is so good it puts to shame the fried rice I have had at many good chinese places. Spicier than the chinese version, with so much flavor. Wow! Pimon Thai's ingredients are all so fresh and lack the chemicals used in a lot of chinese cooking like MSG and the other crap used in many chinese sauces. That is probably why I always feel satiated but not stuffed or stomach upset like after eating at a chinese buffet or a steakhouse. The service here is superb, friendly and efficient. David, Pam and Tina are all great, and its obvious they enjoy working there... Again, five stars all the way for Pimon Thai. read more

I've been to Thailand, lived in NYC, Houston and LA so I know my Thai. This place started off well enough. It had a picture of the King on the wall (if not go elsewhere). The prices were ok and the portions were on the small size but still healthy. I had the Red Curry and Tom Kah and asked for it medium spicy. I thought the vegetables didn't taste very fresh. The mushrooms were nice but the tomatoes (a first for me in a Tom Kah) were kind of off. I also think the chicken was a pretty poor cut. Although it was white meat, it just wasn't good. The lemongrass was very brown and wilted. The chili oil seemed almost gelled and the coconut milk tasted more like evaporated milk. The Red curry was more of the same, but without the normal oily goodness of a curry paste. All in, I think this place was bland and more of a stop for the entry level Pad Thai consumer who wants "CHINESE" food. read more

Food was great! Got the basil Thai fried rice with the egg, hot level. Lil kick to the hot level of spice.. will probably go back to my medium level next time. Thai tea was excellent also. Came in to order to go around 6pm, host took order and had food out in like 13 min.. made fresh and hot to go.. Very nice front host girl, kind to ask me if I wanted any drink while I wait. read more
