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.

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!!

Came here with people from work—Pim is usually not open of Tuesdays, but he opened to cook for us. Plate after plate I was amazed with such great quality and flavor; Pim was really friendly and a fantastic host. He even brought out his guitar and had the group singing! What a fantastic evening

Pim, the owner and a chef, servesThai authentic cuisine and he can cook special menu upon your advanced request. Best Thai food in Cardiff I would say!!

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
