Pimai Restaurant in Los Angeles

After a long day of walking around Los Angeles, we were in the mood for some comfort food. My sister and I decided on Thai food and this was the closest Thai restaurant. We ordered pineapple fried rice with chicken and shrimp and pad see ew with chicken. It was delicious. We split both dishes and cleared our plates. The pineapple fried rice had a curry flavor to it, which I wasn't expecting, but was delightful.

Islander curry. Simply excellent. Highly recommended.

Real pad thai you can taste only in Thai))) it seems they use not that kind oil or maybe another species.

We ordered four dishes and the lady asked us twice for the dishes but still in the end she missed one dish for us. Also even never asked if we need rice which the white rice should be combine with our dishes, so tonight we only have two dishes and one fried rice for four ppl here. And no more food at 11pm. Very unprofessional service. How can a dish without serve with white rice?!

Service is friendly. Lighting is dim. Prices are a little bit higher then most Thai places.

I have been coming to Pimai for at least 7 years and have always enjoyed the service and food. Relaxed and cozy.

Really cute and really good Thai food. Quick service and a cute little outdoor area. All fine and dandy for a good Thai meal.

Went in, was greeted, then the couple that came in after myself was helped. Never will I recomend this place or visit.

Food was OK. Price was fair. Atmosphere was nice. It had an outdoor sitting area that is great for days with nice weather.

Love the atmosphere, the family who owns this restaurant is a world-class family and the food is great. Great service and some nights, there is karaoke! Thai food, drinks and karaoke?

Service was great and quick. Food tasted good too. I wish she asked me how spicy I wanted my yellow curry. Nevertheless I absolutely enjoyed every bite.

Great food, reasonably priced, friendly service

At least with most Thai if it’s average or mediocre, at least there’s a lot of it. With this each and every dish was comically small. We had take out and the food didn’t even fill the already small containers. It is overly expensive when you factor in how small everything is - and that includes soup that is maybe a small bowl for one person, definitely not to be shared and certainly not worth $10 a bowl. It was just all average and we ended up having to go get more take out from another location so everyone could have food. Won’t happen again.

Usually this place is great but lately its been off. My take out containers were only partially full last time I ordered. Food taste great but make sure you're getting what you pay for.

Decent foods

Me and my wife had been planning to visit Pimai and try the food there but never got a chanve and since we are moving away from Hollywood we made it a point to visit some places before we do so. And we really regret not visiting here. Food here is delicious, everything we tried was fantastic and we really loved the way they served Tom yum soup on a small burner to keep the soup hot. Dimsums were great and Grilled Salmon too. The only thing that I felt was ridiculously expensive were the fress coconuts $5.5 each I mean we ordered so many things and those coconuts were like 25%of the whole check.

Very good Thai food. We got our food really fast(although it wasn't busy). The only thing I didn't like was the portion of rice given. We asked for more and got some but would of been nice not having to ask. Strong Thai iced tea :)

LOL. okay first off all people are reviewing this place poorly because they don't like how their NON-THAI food tastes xD seriously people?? I feel like I am a pretty harsh Thai food critic since I love cooking Thai food and honestly? I was pretty blown away by their Pad Thai. Reminds me of all the Pad Thais I had back in Thailand. I like to judge Thai restaurants on a few basic dishes and this dish here definitely won me over. My friend ordered the Thai fried rice, and yes that one was pretty darn delicious as well. The pork actually tasted fresh compared to some of the other Thai places in Thai Town. (What is it with these restaurants with amazing flavoring of dishes, yet ruined by the poor meat quality?!)Would definitely swing by when I am in the area again!

The food is very good. Have to try one.

Ive only had take out from Pimai a few times, I live close by so by the time I get home it is still quite hot.The food has been consistently good. Everything Ive gotten has needed a bit of hot sauce to liven it up. The food is good, just a little bland for my tastes. Ive tried several different dishes and had the same judgement.

Pimai is a fun experience. The food is good, and not very expensive. The environment is small, which is a plus. The one downside to the small space is when it gets full it can be fairly loud (I like more quiet dinning experiences). Other than that, it's a great place, I'd recommend it to anyone nearby.

Excellent. Great food. Lovely people.

Authentic, delicious, and pleasant. Great place for a good meal and relaxing conversation

Great food and great service!!

I like this place because they were making orders fresh and they a great lunch menu , which you can try different dishes for a good price . It takes a little longer when you get there when they open 11:00 . A little slow but the food is good ,with good portion for the lunch menu . You have to try it out, it's in a small strip mall ,east of gelsons mkt.

So, in a nutshell..the parking sucks like hell, the service is very good, the server was cordial, the food was served fast but was on the dry side, overall a nice quiet and a cozy place.

Good food and cute place.

Brilliant service n chow...

nice place, good food, good prices... enjoyed my green curry and the coconut soup that I don't remember the name... something like Tom Ka Kai...

Very tastie local thai restaurant. Sweet employees and yummy food.

Ok food, ok service, a bit aged inside. Friendly staff!

Good Food. Nice portions. Great Service. I will definitely be back for more.

a beautiful family run businesses...serving beautiful food... in an upbeat environment..

FRUSTRATINGBeen to this restaurant a couple of times and the food is excellent. Today, for the first time, I ordered a delivery, since it is in the neighbourhood. There is a disclaimer that says it will take from 45 to 60 mins. After an hour and a half I decided to call the number that is all over the internet. 9 tries and nobody answered. An hour 43 minutes later, still haven´t got it and still nobody answers the phone, but they charged my card inmediately. A filed a claim at the bank to have my money back.

Over priced, small portions, and the interior is a big YIKES! There is much better food down the street at The Palm on Hollywood Blvd.This is what I get for trying a new neighborhood place and being too lazy to drive a little further. My bad!

Very tasty food, best chicken coconut soup I've ever had. Pleasant, airy environment. Portions a little small though.

Rude and slow service. Came when no one was around and took 10 minutes before any one came with water and menus. We were in a rush for the airport so we just walked out. I told the waiter to improve his service next time by being more attentive. He just said “don’t come back next time.” Also, it seems like they’re running some day care out of this restaurant. Lots of kids toys littered on the ground and the whole restaurant environment appears unsanitary. Bad!*Didn’t eat the food there so I can’t attest to that.

Very unimpressive. Thai food should be about flavor complexity and attractive presentation and sadly both of the dishes we tried were lacking flavor and were disappointingly presented. My "green" curry was grayish and had merely a few vegetables.

This place was awesome because the service, atmosphere, and (most importantly) food, was awesomely delicious. I would definitely come here again. Tasty clear soup in the lunch special, and yummy pad see ew noodles, with delicious steamed dumplings as an appetizer. Totally would recommend.

Loved this restaurant. Very clean, and tasty dishes. Was quiet and not busy when we got lunch on a Sunday afternoon.

Good food reasonably priced. Protons are a little bit on the small side.

Pleasant and cozy place. Good food. Did not disappoint us.

Really great Thai place!!

Love the atmosphere, the family who owns this restaurant is a world-class family and the food is great. Great service and some nights, there is karaoke! Thai food, drinks and karaoke? Sign me up!

Solid Thai.

2 stars because I waited for 25 minutes for them to tell me they never put in my order. The vegetable tempera was really amazing and their customer service was on point

Delicious and pricy!!

Good affordable Thai food! Sometimes it's hard to place an order over the phone for takeout but it's good. Limited parking.

Ordered the curry (waitress recommended)& loved it. Everything we ordered was good. Very reasonably priced, about 20p/p w/tip. You wil not be sorry.

I eat here everytime I am in neighborhood!
