Pimmy's Authentic Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Kenosha

First of all,I just want to say that Pimmy's was clean and the staff was kind and friendly. Also, you can smell the delicious food as you walk in.

However, this was our 2nd time to Pimmy's and it was not a good experience. We wanted to give Pimmy the benefit of the doubt that maybe our first time was just a fluke. Thai cuisine is one of our favorites, so we wanted to try Pimmy's. The first time we visited, we ordered Pad Thai and a Curry dish, and to be frank, it did not meet expectations. Pad Thai was super sticky, had no meat, and was drenched in the sauce. The curry was super sweet, contained all sweet peas, but no meat. Thai curry is known for their coconut based ingredient, but there was definitely no coconut in the base at all. We should have listened to our gut feeling and not give it a second time but because our friends were telling us to try a few new dishes, we did.

The second time around, we ordered the Larb Nue, Basil ground beef over rice, spicy crazy noodles. Again, it did not meet expectations. The Larb Nue main ingredient is beef, but all i saw and tasted was ground pork. You can also smell the pork scent to this. I've had larb in the past and it's more of a cold salad dish. However, it was super sour. They over did it with the lemon and fish sauce. The basil ground beef, it was also over done with fish sauce. The spicy crazy noodles was all noodles, not much meat at all and no basil leaf. It was just noodles drench in sauce.

This was all a disappointment. Pimmy's has failed to give a authentic Thai cuisine experience.

We were also told we can dine in but with no server. We had the choice to order at the front desk and they will bring out our food in takeout containers. While we were waiting for our food, a lady behind the front desk brought out paper plates and spoons out to a family who wanted to "dine in". After I saw that, I decided immediately we are going home to eat. There is no point to eat on paper plates here at the restaurant. If you give the options for customers to dine in, and hand paper plates and plastic spoons, its time to just remove that option over all.

In addition, we had to pay for water. Water?! I had to pay 2.00 for each bottle. They never once told us their water comes in bottles and and we looked at our receipt, we noticed we were charged. We asked for a cup of water, they should had confirm there is a cost for water. I watched the family (as i referred from above), when the dad asked for a cup of water, the lady who gave them their paper plate at their dine in table, she said "you have to pay for water". I saw the mom's eyes open wide, yeah. I doubt they will return. I'm sure it was their first time there at Pimmys.

Sadly, I won't be giving this place another chance again. For some who have never had Thai cuisine may consider the food good, but if you want to experience actual Thai food, there are better places and better ways to cook these dishes. I hope Pimmy's can improve their dishes and services...

New in town and I usually rely on Google to find new places to eat. Man did you guys fail me this time. This place does not deserve 4.6 Stars. As you can see by the one star rating, I am not impressed. Ordered the Tom Kah soup....PAID $3 EXTRA for shrimp, there was NONE. Now that, THAT..... should have been the only problem, BUT WAIT.....there's more....🤦🏻‍♀️ The soup had this weird lemony taste, the vegetables were ok but the carrots had this distinction of previously frozen, and the broth has a strange overpowering of lemon. I thought it was supposed to be coconut. Anyhow, 10/10 I don't recommend. NEXT: I Ordered the steamed VEGETABLE dumplings they were mushy and I don't know what's inside of them... but, I'm pretty sure it's meat. Now let's talk about the Bangkok fried rice. Again with the frozen carrots but the rest of the "vegetables" were non existent,🙄 except for these two lonely snow peas laying awkwardly in their grave yard of halfway fried rice... I didn't see any eggs in there either The chicken in the dish was dry and unseasoned, my cat wouldn't even eat it....oh annnnd the shrimp........well they were so dry I choked, yes choked..spit it all over my table...I think I must have downed a whole bottle of water after that🤦🏻‍♀️ PLUS (if that wasn't bad enough) had an alarming taste of what could only be described as CAT URINE by my child. Obviously... We spit it out. I'm not real sure on Kenosha's standards for quality of food.... But we're I'm from you don't pay $45 dollars for a meal and then rather throw it the trash and eat a sandwich. Serious, a bologna sandwich woulda been better than this garbage. Do...

Step back in time… to 2020. This Thai spot is basically a living Covid museum. From the sneeze shield guarding the register to the faded social distancing arrows still stuck to the floor, it feels like the pandemic never ended here. And apparently, neither did their business model. The waitress casually explained that they made so much money during Covid running takeout-only that they decided, “Why fix what isn’t broken?” So now, you can technically sit inside, but don’t expect a real dine-in experience. Cue my disappointment when our food arrived — on paper plates, with utensils that looked like they were stolen from a middle school cafeteria. I tried to stab a piece of chicken and my fork bent like it was auditioning for a magic trick. Nothing humbles you faster than realizing your meal is stronger than your silverware. And let’s not forget the uninvited garnish: I’m fairly certain I spotted a dog hair nestled into my dish like it was part of the recipe. Authentic? Maybe. Appetizing? Definitely not. The food itself? Surprisingly decent, but trapped in the tragic irony of being served on kindergarten craft-day supplies. If they’d just trade in the plastic forks for something that can actually pierce meat, this place might stand a chance at graduating from “Covid time capsule” to...
