The food and service here was great, definitely worth a trip for authentic Thai food. Pim is a great host and very accommodating, he asked us if there was anything off the menu that we wanted that you would get in Thailand. Great experience and hope to go back soon. Has to be one of the Top Thai restaurants I have been too.Vegetarian options: Pim can make all the food vegetarianParking: Parking is available outside on one of the other roads

The best food I've had in ages - authentic quality Thai food cooked from scratch. Pim (the chef) also cooked requested dish of morning glory, as well as being able to make everything gluten free. Cosy and homely restaurant with a unique atmosphere, it was lovely chatting with Pim who is clearly a talented musician as well as chef ! Next time we’ll be going when we have more time to spend of an evening.Dietary restrictions: Caters for gluten free and can adapt meals as can pre order and cook from scratch

Pim was very accommodating towards the birthday party we wanted to hold.Went above and beyond for us.Absolutely amazing, friendly, and informative host that cooks brilliant thai food.Couldn't recommend this enough.

Going to Pim’s restaurant was definitely an experience, an amazing one. The atmosphere of the place is incredible, Pim’s energy is contagious, it flows everywhere. You can feel Pim’s passion in the flavour of his dishes, it’s so authentic. After dinner, Pim plays his guitar and start sing to everyone, he is a great entertainer. Totally recommend it, and I’ll definitely come back soon.

Group of 10+ of our friends came here for dinner for a 21st birthday. Amazing experience, food was brilliant. Wrote a personalised song for the birthday girl and a drawing of the birthday girl 10/10 would reccomend

We found this unassuming place on Google Maps - called to make a booking and had the best Thai food we’ve ever had outside Thailand! Pim is a passionate chef and cooks to order, so you should call to book and tell him what you’d like to eat. He’ll buy the ingredients fresh that day. It’s a quirky atmosphere, which adds to the whole experience. If you like Thai food, you must try this place!

What a night! We were lucky to get a walk in spot (we will book next time!!) Food is amazing, authentic and sooo tasty! We had the true pleasure to listen to Pim also sing and play multiple instruments, this man is an inspiration!! We love it so so much, we will be coming back!!

Pim cooks really tasty Thai food. The menu does change, and you have to order ahead of time via text.We had satay chicken to start, the satay sauce was insanely good and the chicken well cooked and juicy.Dim Sum was tasty but paled in comparison to the satay sauce.Mains we had massamam curry, rich and deeply flavoured well it partnered well with jasmine rice.Also had tamarind duck which was absolutely stunning, juicy fatty deboned duck with a sweet sticky tamarind sauce. Had the coconut rice alongside this which was incredibly tasty itself.It's bring your own drinks, so you save a bomb if you fancy some wine with the meal.Pim loves getting the guitar out and signing for you after too!Highly recommend pims.

Pim's is truly a unique experience. And whatever you imagine when I say 'unique', you won't come close. Pim's is best described as visiting a colleagues house for dinner who then serenades and entertains you afterwards.Pim's restaurant is realy a few tables set up that feel like you're in a friend's garage, complete with Mr Pim's own clutter and knick-knacks. The kitchen is over the room and the toilet directly through the kitchen.The food is amazing, clearly homecooked and lovingly made (as Mr Pim learnt from his mother, he reports). The panang curry and chicken satay were my favourites, though the tom yum soup was also divine. Food comes quick and bubbling straight from the stove with no frills or baubles. Truly it feels like homecooked meal.Afterwards, Mr Pim sat and chatted with us, seranaded us with Bob Dylan songs, and taught us how to sing. It is clear that music is Mr Pim's true passion (there are many instruments hung up on the walls) and he really knows the science behind music. It may have been helped by the fact I was with a family who had visited before, but he really was easy going, felt like he had invited us into his home, and just wanted to share his life. An extraordinary talented happy individual.Pim's is not a classical restaurant, and if you are seeking a formal dining experience, this is not for you. If you want great food solely, his takeaway is undoubtedly good as well, I am sure. But if you can be open minded, accept that you aren't getting tip-top serving standards, restaurant decor or even restuarant-grade cleanliness, but are there for a fun time, to enjoy authentic Thai cooking and Thai personality in someone's home, Pim's is extrodinary. Truly an unforgettable evening - the excellent food was just a bonus.P.S: it's BYOB, so go nuts!Thank you, Mr Pim. You are a wonderful individual.Visited 09/04/23
I went here for my birthday and had the most incredible experience! Pim is so lovely and made my birthday so special. The food was unbelievable. I cannot recommend this place enough. Thank you so much Pim !!! We will be back soon :)

Wow what an amazing experience. Pim is such an inspirational, and knowledgeable man. Who also happens to be an amazing chef. His food is exceptional, but it's also about the personal experience he provides. He played us a few songs on the guitar and made us really really welcome. We will definitely be back. He's passionate about good quality ingredients and authentic Thai food. Would recommend for sure. Thank you Pim!

This is an experience of flavour, culture cuppled up with a real passion and a love for food. If you find your self wanting to eat something that's incredibly tasty, that will leave you wishing you had room for more then this is the place. This is hands down the best Thai food I've eaten and that includes whilst traveling in Thailand equally. Pim is such a great character he cooks with his heart and you can taste that in the food he serves you, please do your self a favour and go try this food you will not be disappointed. Thank you Pim for making my wife's birthday meal a pleasureable and memorable one. We will be seeing you again very soon!

Visited Pim's last Saturday night 15/01/2022 after being recommended by a friend - got to say from the moment we walked through the door to the moment we left, we were entertained. The food was very authentic and awesome....!! Pim was the perfect host and we will definately be back for more.... thank you so much Pim.....!!!!

Amazing evening. Pims is a truly whacky place. Loved it. The food is fab, and Mr Pim is chef, waiter, and entertainment rolled into one. This is one restaurant you won't forget. We can't wait to go again!
