Pimai Restaurant
- Neighborhood: Los Feliz

Pimai, just east of the "Franklin Strip", was recently re-incarnated from a ghastly strip mall dive into an elegant neighborhood eatery. Beige formica gave way to elegant bamboo lamps, deep wooden tables and pleasant decor, but although the traditional menu items like pad thai and curries have nearly doubled in price, they remain shockingly skimpy on meat...and flavor. A true shame.
