Pimaan Thai Restaurant 79 Kinderkamack Road, Emerson, NJ 07630

"This was almost a 4-Star review but Pimaan Thai Restaurant in Emerson came through. We showed up with no reservation as this was a last minute decision (1st time there too) and although they were fully packed, they accommodated us. We started with the fried calamari which was delicious! Crispy, fresh, tasty! Then, we ordered the sea food soup, this was a no go for us. It was like tangy water with tomato, a few mushrooms, two shrimps-not what I consider a sea food soup (Tom Yum PO-TAK) at all. The portions are small, so be cautioned! We decided to get a side of glass noodles to add to our soups, that was okay. We were still hungry so we overheard someone mention a crab fried rice. What! It didn’t disappoint, it was heaven! This fried rice was tasty, wonderful texture, and made with brown rice. The staff was attentive and friendly. I noticed a lot of people brought their wines. The crowd was upscale. This is a fine restaurant and we plan to return."

"Located in Emerson, I have been dining at this establishment since their next-door neighbor is a Subi dealer on Kinderkamack Road. I have since purchased four vehicles. Pimaan Thai is family-owned and serves authentic cuisine. I came with my colleague for lunch today. Upon entering, the decor was nice, but not stuffy. We were seated promptly. The menu was varied between lunch and regular, including many vegetarian choices. The degree of heat is your choice. To begin our meal, we opted for the calamari served with a sweet chili sauce. Our main dish came from their lunch menu, accompanied by a small salad, and we decided on the Pad Thai with Beef and Pad See-Ew with Chicken. We even saved room and shared the chocolate soufflé with ice cream. The food came to our table consistently fresh, perfect, nicely presented, and delicious. The service was efficient and the price reasonable. We can continue to recommend this place."

"Amazing Food, Amazing Taste and pretty authentic. Service may be varied according to the time you go. Food comes in and out quick but just service wise little slow ! Rest nothing to complain about. For Vegetarians Garlic Tofu and Basil Mock Duck is spot on !"

"Contemporary ambience, Family style, Great food, Friendly staff. Plenty options for both vegetarians and others. We had the green curry with Fish and Pad Thai for lunch, with Jasmine tea and ended the lunch with sticky rice and mango, which was yummy and oh-so-delicious! Great for families, business lunches or just a date! The staff are friendly and helpful!"

"Authentic Thai restaurant. Reasonably priced for the food and service quality. Extensive menu and some items can be spiced to taste so good for a variety of palettes. Service is fast and helpful. When they say the higher spice levels are hot believe them. The pineapple fried rice were a really good balance between sweet, savory and spicy. Overall a great place to bring the family."
