Namwan Thai Kitchen — Restaurant in Youngsville

Excellent! We have been here many, many times. Every time we go we try to get at least one different dish. They are very consistant with the quality, flavor and portions. Every dish we have ever had tasted freshly made. The picture on the left was taken after the big heaping scoop of rice was put in, but it has alot of sauce, meat, brocolli, mushrooms, and some other stuff. It was super good!

The owner named the resturant Namwan after his grandmother and every receipe is from her collection. Obviously, she was (or is) a great chef because this food is very flavorful. The prices are not bad for the portions you get because technically you can split most portions into two meals. These two dishes and two fountain drinks was $25!

The atmosphere is quiet unless there are alot of people which isnt very typical. That is just because people are typically talking. You can hear others conversations, so it may not be the best place for talking bad. They have a small number of tables because of the size of the place overall, but that was all on purpose, the owner wanted a smaller, relaxed place to enjoy a meal. He accomplished that! The decor on the walls are by local artists and its just another good "mom and pop"...

I was blessed enough to work for these amazing people when I was younger and the location was on Johnston. They sold the name but the real Pimon Thai is now NamWan, named for Phil’s grandmother. These people serve the best Thai food I have ever had, and I have even been to Thailand. It will be very sad when they close down one day, and I hope that Phil continues the tradition of great people serving great food. Also, these wonderful people who I have been knowing for over 20 years now, helped me out in so many ways in my life… and they have done this for so many people that you would not believe. If you want the absolute best food as far as Thai goes… I dare you to find a better place! You will not! When I worked there many years ago as a waiter, I used to tell the patrons who were there the first time, “ just trust me, and I will bring you out food and if there is anything you do not like I will pay for their entire meal”! Never once did I have a customer that did not love this cuisine. It is always and forever will be my favorite restaurant! You will have a bad meal there…. I warn you also, you will become addicted and want to eat...

Have been here multiple times, but will not be back after my last experience. I ordered two vegetable only dishes. I talked to waitress before ordering and explained what I had last time, liked, and would like again (a curry with a nice mix of vegetables listing off which vegetables I had previously that I thought were so good. The menu doesn't have ingredients listed so it's hard to know which is which). She says okay and takes the order. Mine came with only one vegetable and the second dish was skimpy on vegetables as well. Spoke to manager and tried to get the ingredients as a side dish to add to my bowl. That isn't an option. Later same manager came to table and asked how we were. Gave feedback we thought our dishes were on the disappointing side and suggested ingredients be put on menu to avoid confusion. He was offended, had an attitude, and argued with me repeatedly. Will never be back after being treated the way he treated me. Manager was completely unprofessional and his rude behavior...
