Amazing food every time. I get takeout from this place at least once a month...so great!

This is my favorite Thai restaurant in Bergen county and I have ate at 5-6 others nearby. food is always hot and authentic. The service is quick, if you are ordering to go on a Friday Saturday give them 45 mins - 1 hour because it's a very popular place. Eating in, they do not rush you and the food comes our delicious Appetizers recommend the steamed Thai dumplings! read more

Piman is an American Thai restaurant. Food is good, service a little slow; but a neighborhood convenience.

Excellent Thai! Great atmosphere and service! We had the Thai salad, coconut soup (I forgot the Thai name) basil fried rice, drunken noodles and red curry. Everything was tasty and so fresh! I highly recommend if you are in the area to stop in & enjoy! I live 45 min away and I will go back! read more

Food is always great here. This is my family and I's go to thai restaurant. Portions are decent enough to do family style. I usually love their curry. Cant go wrong with the masaman curry or the red curry. Both are delicious. Their pad Thai is pretty good as well. For dessert we usually get the fried ice cream and the chocolate souffle. The fried ice cream comes to you with a mini show where they light it on fire! Make sure to order the chocolate souffle 20 minutes before dessert time. It takes that long to prepare. read more

Best crab fried rice I've ever had,BOOM! I had to start off with that because that's how good it is. Made with fresh ingredients such as sautéed onions, scallions, roasted grape tomatoes, pieces of scrambled eggs,and last but not least a nice amount of fresh crab meat. Every bite is heaven in my mouth. Try their Thai iced tea as well, it's a must for me whenever I eat Thai cuisine. Another fav of mine here are the steamed Thai dumplings. It was my first order here ever , not going to lie I thought it was a bit pricey for such little amount...I think it was like 5 small pieces for $9 which was a tad disappointing but it tasted so yummy. After that is when I discovered the amazing crab meat fried rice. They have plenty of great dishes aside from the rice, .. shrimp salad ,papaya salad and yum woon sen is a popular one amongst my coworkers. We like to order from here at least once a week or so. This restaurant gives a nice variety balance to the area. Plus who doesn't love Thai food? Plenty of parking in the back and the inside is cozy and pretty, a very soothing yet romantic touch to the place . Recommend: date night, family dinner, and/or business lunch :) read more

Absolute quality. For my first visit I went for my go-to Thai meal of green curry and was not disappointed. You can't tell by just the range of ingredients in the bowl that they are putting a lot of effort into it, the flavor is deep and complex. Rich and tangy. Proportions are good and the price is reasonable, although I'm looking forward to coming back on a weekday so I can get the meal for $5 less during the lunch special which is not available on Sunday. The staff were pleasant and the dining room clean. Best Thai in Jersey so f read more

Great food and always consistent. Not a place to go for quiet meal as place has zero soundproofing.

Because I don't eat Thai food, I found this restaurant on google as it was "close by." How pleasantly surprise we were when they sat us after asking if we had reservations. We are a small family of three and didn't think to call ahead. They took us anyway, not realizing that Saturday night was their busiest. My daughter and I order two different versions of PAD Thai noodles with my husband ordering tofu as our main courses. We also ordered Thai dumplings and a peanut-based sauce salad. The food was excellent and as we left, the restaurant was filling up with patrons. While we were eating, we noticed the maitre d turning away customers without reservation. I have to say the early bird gets to eat the delicious food. For Thai food in Bergen County, stop by! read more

Im between a 3 and a 4 with this place. I went with 3 since someone had hyped the place up and I had very high expectations. So on to the review. I ordered the chicken puffs and pad thai. The puffs come in 3 per order with a sweet cucumber sauce. I would rate this a 4 as it was not to spicy but definitely not bland. The pad thai was nothing special. It was a decent portion size and not too fishy tasting. My wife ordered the panang curry. It was nicely spiced and served with rice. The portion size was generous but disproportionate to the amount of rice. The thai iced tea was pretty good too. The server was nice but they brought out the puffs after the main course. They menu has a lot of vegetation options which is nice. The price is competitive but slightly higher than most thai places. read more

Love this place! The ambiance is nice in the evenings and cheery in the afternoons. The restaurant is BYOB but only for beer and wine (no liquor allowed). A must get appetizer is the curry puffs.. with that cucumber sauce.. too good!! I always have to get a fried rice for my entree.. the pimaan fried rice is the BEST. It has sausage, pork, and your choice of main meat, I usually get chicken. When I need a seafood dish, the crabmeat fried rice is simply delicious. I don't know what they do with their rice, but it's to die for!! And this is coming from someone who was in Thailand a few weeks ago The only reason for the 4 stars vs a 5 is the noodles are just ok. That's why I get fried rice. The green curry dish isn't bad either. There is ample parking as they have their own lot, and the entrance is from the back. I'm definitely a regular here!! :) read more

The restaurant was well kept. The doors were locked to ensure everyone was greeted at the front with hand sanitizer and direction on how to proceed upon entrance. This process made my family and I feel comfortable eating at this location. All the appetizers we ordered were delicious. We were very satisfied; however, we weren't too impressed with our actual meals. We had purchased an pineapple fried rice, veggies in garlic sauce, tofu pad thai and beef ramen. I can imagine many will like food from here. The display was very good and the cleanliness was great but we simply didn't like those dishes. Tasted like they were missing flavor somehow. It was odd. Even the veggies in garlic sauce didn't even taste like it had garlic. Definitely a different taste than what I've tasted in countless locations. The appetizers (cucumber salad and something similar to scallion pancakes) were delicious. We ordered two of each due to how delicious it was. read more

Solid Thai Although Overly Americanized Acceptable Service Menu Needs More Variety Large Open Floor Plan With Low Ceilings Make The Noise Levels High Curries Are Good Great Lunch Deals BYOB Although not my go to for Thai Pimaan has filled a niche in this reviewers "I feel like having Thai" list. My first few visits had me struggling with the wait staff to accommodate my love of spice in Thai cuisine, not sure if it was the round eye can't take the heat mentality or a chefs way of doing things... Turns out after a few visits I had convinced them I was not of the feint of heart in my love of balance between sweet, savory and spicy coupled with the right amount of acidity and fresh herbs to top things off. So now we have a understanding that 4 is my regular heat and 5 is pretty hot, tho not mind numbing. As a protein I go with squid quite often and chicken depending on the dish, at times the squid is overcooked but the chicken and fish are cooked properly and of sufficient quantity/quality so no major issues here. I enjoy the curries here due to the fact the coconut isn't clobbering me in the mouth and dominating the dish. The staff are all business (not much personality) the orders arrive accurate and quickly with well presented plates, piping hot placed graciously in front of you so you can be enveloped in the crisp sent of herbs and spices. Tables are solid, seating comfortable and the flatware complimentary in a large open room that tends to carry conversation and the clanging of silverware at somewhat uncomfortable levels. Observations: Can't shake the feeling that some of the cooks aren't Thai, as the chopping of the vegetables here has more of a methodical cleaver chop look rather than whimsical or artistic as found in Thai restaurants I know to have Thai cooks using Thai vegetables and recipes. Also noticed a lack of Asians dining here, let alone Thai folks. So be it what it may, the food is pretty good my fellow caucasians ;) BSE14 read more

Consistently good food and warm service. Favorite dishes are chicken green curry, shrimp pad Thai, spicy tofu and their marinated BBQ chicken. They don't skimp on the spice which I love! Can get crowded and loud but that's because the food is good. Bring the whites to mellow out the spice. read more

This is our go to Thai restaurant in the Bergen County area. They are extremely consistent and usually not very crowded for dinner during the week. My wife started with the Chicken Curry Puffs. Three of them served along with a side of a cucumber/carrot vinegar concoction. They are always reliably good. I began with Mee Krob. Crunchy, sweet noodles with two shrimp on top. I think this was the first time I tried their rendition. It was very good. For a main entree my wife had a bowl of the Tom Kha Gai soup. Sometimes she has it as a starter and sometimes as her main. She loves this soup. Spicy, coconut milk, chicken and mushrooms. One of my regular dishes is the simplistic Chicken Gai Yang. Half of a roast chicken served over grilled squash and string beans. It comes with a spicy/sweet dipping sauce and a portion of sticky rice. It is delicious. Sorry that we didn't invite you SB. It was a last minute plan. Service is always very good and friendly. I posted pics of the aforementioned four courses. read more

I've been to Pimaan Thai on two occasions. The first time was a pleasure, but the second time came close to being a nightmare. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant in off-peak hours - not Friday or Saturday night. Our first visit was at 6pm on a Friday, and the restaurant started getting loud around 7:00, which was when we left...so we didn't get to see how loud and busy the restaurant could become. Our second visit, with a group of friends, was less pleasant. We knew that the restaurant would be crowded, and that we needed a reservation. So when we called to let the restaurant know that most of our party was going to be 15 minutes late, they did not inform us that they had given away our table, without seating the one guest who was there on-time! Or, perhaps, that our table wasn't ready at 7:30...we heard two different stories. Either is unacceptable. So, after we sit down with our group, I asked that the waitress give us separate checks, and she refused, saying that she could only split the bill 4 ways for 8 guests. I got agitated at this point, because her tone and demeanor was slightly condescending, so when she offered to talk to her manager to get permission, I raised my voice and said that she should...and our request was denied! Did I mention that service was slow as well? Meh. That said, the food is delicious. Four star quality and authentic Thai. A true foodie delight. A word to fellow chili heads: The food is authentically spicy. However, I would not order the hottest level of spiciness (4 stars) because it will be almost unbearable. 3 stars is good. 2 stars is for adventerous eaters, and 1 star should be good for anyone who wants spicy food. That said, 1 star and 2 star is what would be very spicy (3 or 4 stars) in most other northeastern restaurant, so be careful non chili heads! Sadly, the service and management ruin the experience, and forced me to chop a star off the review. Honestly, I think that I should chop off another star, but I think that it would be unfair. read more

We just moved to oradell from Englewood and was searching for a go to Thai place which is hard to find in the northern NJ area, but managed to find near my old home (sapphire Thai express in Teaneck). Ordered take out from here anticipating good returns based on the Yelp reviews, but was sadly disappointed. The crab fried rice was good, but the drunken noodle and pad see ew were disappointing. The noodles weren't chewy and didn't taste very fresh. While I appreciated the enormity of veggies it included, I was looking forward to the noodles and Thai flavors, like fish sauce. What I got instead was more of Chinese and other flavors, but not really what you expect in Thai food. I also got a dish with fried egg noodle and gravy, but the sauce was more sweet and sour than gravy like. Will continue to keep searching. read more

Terrible food. Ambience is ok. Service is terrible and the place is filthy food splatter on the walls

I called to make a reservation and got a busy signal. I called repeatedly for over an hour with no success. So my family and I got in the car and drove there. The restaurant only had 6 patrons, and all of the tables were empty. We were told by a nasty woman, that we didn't make a reservation, so we must leave. My wife and Son told her that we couldn't get through on the phone, and she nastily said thank you and walked away. The restaurant was empty and she wouldn't seat us. Disgraceful !!! read more

Normally, I'm not that crazy about Thai food, but Pimaan is fantastic. Their food offerings are diverse as well as delicious - there are plenty of options for vegetarians! You can't go wrong ordering Drunken Noodles or Red Curry. The dessert options have large portion sizes and are easily shareable - the Chocolate Souffle and Tartufo are good go-to's! The ambiance is cozy and intimate, making it a great dinner spot to spend time with your friends and family. Parking is easy as they have a pretty large lot in the back. My recommendation is that you reserve a table a couple of hours before you go - they can get quite busy on the weekend!! read more

I wanted to try a Thai spot that was a little off the beaten path for me. After reading some of Pimaan's raving reviews I was excited to try it out, but unfortunately I wasn't as impressed as I thought I'd be. Consider my review 2.5 stars. I went around 1 on a Tuesday and it was pretty busy. The service was kinda slow because there were only two waiters working the whole restaurant and taking phone orders. However, the server who waited on me was very polite and apologized for keeping me waiting. The atmosphere is pretty unremarkable, it looks like the place hasn't been updated in many years. When the food is just okay, decor can make or break an overall dining experience. So now for the food. I ordered the Pasta Rad Kang because it sounded intruiging. Get this: vegetables and curry over spaghetti. Whaat? I love spaghetti but never heard of it in Thai food. Pimaan is so Americanized the place settings don't come with chopsticks. Even the salad that came as an appetizer was topped with bottled Italian dressing. Listen, Italian dressing is my all-time favorite, but it was an unexpected appearance to say the least. When my entree came out, I just didn't love it. It was way too creamy and I wish it came with more vegetables. The price wasn't bad, only $8 for a pretty big portion that I finished later (after some doctoring it up with extra lime juice.) It actually tasted better cold a few hours later. Altogether my experience was mediocre. When the food, service and atmosphere are all so-so, you get 2.5 stars from this girl (I'll round up to be generous). My quest for more 5 star Thai restaurants continues! read more

So we come here quite frequently because the food is just that great. We decided to have a birthday celebration for a party of 13 with 4 September birthdays. I brought a cake with the 4 names on it for dessert. The server stated that there was. $2 per person fee for cake service. So that would have been $26 for a $10 cake I asked if they would consider just a flat fee Of $10 or $15 as our bill was close to $500. they said no. After trying to figure out if we should go to someone's house for cake one of the guests decided to put the cake fee on his card. When he got the bill they added tax (which is a no no) and tip on top of the $26 which made it come out to $36. We fought that and they did take that off. Talk about not making the customer happy The food was good as usual but left a bad taste with us. Manager and owner did not care at all read more

This Thai restaurant was unexpectedly so delicious! I am very particular with Thai food as I venture out to eat Thai food quite often and this restaurant really was one of the best I've tried. We ordered pad see ew (my favorite) and the crab cake. I ordered the pad see ew at a spice rating of 5 (the spiciest) and it definitely had a nice kick to it! I love how they incorporated both Chinese broccoli and regular broccoli in the dish as well. My boyfriend is hardly ever impressed by food as well and he absolutely loved his crab cake! The crab was very fresh tasting and it paired nicely with the diced mangos. This restaurant is very plain with no fancy decor but the food is definitely worth trying out! read more

As good as it gets is an understatement. The wait staff are incredibly hard working and attentive. I enjoy spicy food and they never let me down in that respect. I have tried a number of their items and have never been disappointed. .. My favorite items are: tofu satay (grilled tofu on skewers, not always on menu), summer rolls (incredible flavor and great dipping sauce), spicy tofu, drunken noodles, red/green curry and fried calamari (INCREDIBLE!!). This is easily the best Thai restaurant in NJ. Nothing comes close. The prices are great, the service is great, decor isn't bad (but isn't that great, but who cares, you go to restaurants, usually, for the food!). I cannot express in words how much I love this restaurant. I have told a number of friends about it and they all have loved it, many of them now go once every 2 weeks or more. read more

The pad see ew was utterly delectable and delicious. I particularly loved the mock duck. It exceeded my expectations; juicy and succulent as can be. My cousin, who isn't vegan, even loved it. We will be ordering this from now on, and will be ordering often. We also quite enjoyed the chive pancakes and the Thai iced tea, which came in adorable, portable pouches of goodness. Also, the restaurant itself is very cute! Great ambience. read more

Simply delicious! We ordered chicken pad thai with two different heat levels. My husband got his standard and I got mine extra hot. Many times restaurants warn something will be spicy but I have a high tolerance for heat and am often underwhelmed. This was absolutely not the case here and I loved the spicy kick to it! This will be our go to Thai place from now on! read more

Food: what can I say about this place. It's the only thai place nearby. The food is overrated. There are better places out there, but you'll have to take a drive out to get some. I personally love dd thai in Rochelle park. 3 stars Decor: high end decor. The place is very nice but definitely affects the price of food on the menu. 4 stars Service: slow. I'm going to be honest. This place is usually packed because there isn't a better thai place to go to. You need to make reservations in advance which is ridiculous. 1 star read more

I love lunch or dinner at Pimaan. They have a great menu with many dishes I really like. They are one of the few restaurants atound that have basa as a selection for their fish and they cook it several different ways I really love. Their beef satay is the best around and I love their peanut sauce. The fried ice cream or bananas are a great way to end the meal. Great service, atmosphere and the staff is friendly and accommodating. read more

Although we felt the food quality had fallen a little bit in recent months, we still go back as the Tom yum keeps calling my name even though the contents have changed a bit over the years.... And our trip last weekend was so worth it! Don't know if they have had a change in chefs but the food was back to being OUTSTANDING! Thank god as it's the best place in Northern Jersey!!, read more

My favorite thai place in NJ and in my top three of all time. It is also a BYOB. Drunken noodles are great. I love their pad thai; that is usually my go to dish there. I also love all their shrimp dishes. The service has always treated me good here. They always do substitutions for me and let me order stuff that is not on the menu. This may be because I have come here for so long and some of their dishes they did not serve anymore because of menu revisions, but I will still request them. I also love the fabulously open waiter-- he is a riot! Good eats here peeps. read more

Very good food. Deserts are very good too. Make reservations or you won't get in. Very flavorful food prepared with good presentation.

Wow; A big section of tables open do you think they would move a seat over for dining for a customer. Told no that's a party for 6; but there is no reservation instead I was told there's no openings.
