Pimarn Thai is such an awesome restaurant! I lived in New Zealand for four years, two of which were spent in Whangarei, Northland. This restaurant was my "go-to" place for takeaway or take-out food. I think it is the best Thai restaurant to which I have ever been, both in New Zealand and in the US. The food is amazing,... More

Very nice atmosphere, good service, reasonable prices, and good food. We could not have asked for much more than this when we took a chance on eating here. Recommended. Btw, the restrooms were spotless.

I tried the mixed entree dish and found this to be disappointing. I usually love prawn toast, but the one given tasted stale. My curry main was delicious and very filling. I was also hoping to try the dessert, but no-one came to serve me, so I just paid and left. I have had better Thai food elsewhere.

This restaurant is certainly worth a visit! Pimarn Thai serves the most exquisite thai food Ive tasted in New Zealand. Light. sweet,sour, spicy (they also get "mild rating" right too). The ambience and service makes for a very pleasant dining experience. And reasonably priced. We visited as a group for dinner with a range of spicy taste buds all pleased... More

The service and food here is always very good. Usually quick, but they can get very busy and then you might have to wait a while. Haven't found anything on the menu so far that we don't like.

The first of Whangarei's Thai restaurants and still a good choice. We get back here every few months and always enjoy the food and service. Reasonable prices. Booking can be a good idea.

The Pimarn Thai is obviously popular with local Whangarei-ites as it was busy on a Monday lunchtime and we soon discovered why. The menu is well presented and at an affordable price. ($10.90 a course.) The service was prompt and efficient and the meal, when it quickly came, was tasty and substantial. Would recommend to anyone passing through or staying... More

Friendly welcome, prompt seating, attentive service, quick delivery of order, tasty and comprehensive menu - easy to select from, limited wine list which could benefit from a re-selection, large venue for substantial group outings, main bar well stocked, clean bathrooms, Great parking nearby.
