Mimi's Fresh Asian Cuisine.Thai Buffet

In a new place looking for some good Thai food. This place offers a lunch buffet or order off the menu. For $15.99 for a lunch buffet with different options, I opted to try it out. The ladies were so very nice. I had just wished the food was great. The flavor was no where near what I was used to. The Thai restaurants where I live are sooo much better. Papaya salad lacked flavor and spice. Green curry had some questionable looking chicken. Basically out of the buffet, I only ate chicken with green beans and egg drop soup. They don't have single serving soup you can order. It's terrible when I'm traveling and have to order two people servings for one meal. This isn't a place I would come back.

I've been wanting to try this place for a long time now but the opportunity just never presented itself. Well the opportunity presented itself so here I am. I ended up getting the pad thai which was okay. Definitely not the best I've ever had but it was pretty good for Lafayette. I've definitely had better at places where it was more authentic. I also ordered the fried soft shell crab which came with a dipping sauce. That was absolutely delicious. I would definitely recommend it over the pad thai. I think my total bill for this particular place was $30. I did get this meal to go and even after a 25 minute drive the pad thai was still warm when I made it home. So was the fried soft shell crab. The service was good . Sorry about not having a photo of the fried soft shell crab. It was so good I completely forgot about it taking a pic.

I went on the weekend and order off the menu. It was good. The food was fresh and well prepared. The owner was working the place and we talked a good bit. Found out a lot of the food on the menu comes from Thailand. Went back a couple of days later and tried the buffet. It was ok. And had a great selection of food. I'm just not a big fan of buffets

The food at Mimi's is amazing. The service is also very good and attentive. Although I've enjoyed their buffet, I would recommend trying the menu items as well. The portions are generous and obviously fresh.The ambiance of the restaurant is nice and I found it to be exceptionally clean. Always a plus!

.This place is quite good; the buffet is OK; but ordering from menu is available, and is quite a bit better.We lunch here often as it is b/t our home & our Son's work.One discrepancy: It says open until 9:00 PM most days, but when I try to go for early supper, it is always closed. I suggest calling first to make sure it is open.Nice off-street parking, a few shaded spots. Slightly expensive, but worth it. Foods on buffet are mainly "generic U. S. Asian restaurant fare".See y'all there at lunch soon !Rick .

My dad has raved about this place for years and I had never had the opportunity to go because, alas, he only seemed to go with his coworkers during the week.His preferences haven't always matched mine, so I wasn't sure what to expect. But y'all. Mimi's is by far the best buffet I've ever eaten and the best thai food I've ever had, too.The staff is small and friendly, the food is fresh and delicious, and the dining area is wheelchair accessible. Prices are going up in April '22, but it'll still be a completely fair amount for the quality.The pad ka prao is my favorite, but you can't go wrong with any dish you choose.

To clarify any confusion: Our waitress explained that Mimi's bought out and combined with Thai Cuisine a while ago so it is no longer called "Thai Cuisine". It's called "Mimi's Fresh Asian Cuisine". The large sign when you turn into the parking lot still has both names up. Yelp also has both restaurants still listed (both unclaimed as of this review). We were greeted by a kind lady who quickly took our orders and explained that they were down to only one chef so the food might be delayed. Surprisingly, it only took around 10 minutes to come out. *Drunken Noodle (Pad Ki Mao): 4/5 stars Very small portion compared to most places. On first look I was disappointed because it looked like it might not have much flavor. However, my first bite was amazing! Finally a place in Louisiana that has delicious drunken noodle! Slippery, salty, spicy, basil goodness.*Pad Thai with chicken: 2/5 stars At first I thought this dish tasted really good. However, after about 5 bites it was almost hard to continue because it was a 10/10 on the sweet level - which it shouldn't be. Womp womp. Still finished it because it tasted amazing otherwise but had to chug the water every sip and 5 hours after. Also, we asked for the spice rack and (unlike a lot of places in Louisiana) she knew exactly what we meant - bonus points! Tip: Be careful with the super red colored dry spice - a little goes a loooong way. Trust me! I would definitely come back to try their Thai lunch buffet $12.95 M-F. Waitress said currently working to expand their buffet offerings. It also has an extensive menu that makes me want to return and try something new. The man across the room was raving about how good his green curry was.

Unfortunately pad Thai was inedible. Had a strange chemical taste to it. Will not be back

Great food, great people, great atmosphere. Absolutely nothing bad to say about Mimi's

This place was a very pleasant surprise! We gave things a try on Friday since we wanted to experience the buffet, which is only available on certain days. We greatly enjoyed the variety of the buffet and the curries were some of our favorite dishes offered. The service was also excellent; the staff were attentive and friendly. Thai buffet was rather unique - huge recommendation for that but I bet their other menu items when the buffet is not offered are quite good so I'll be back to try some other foods.
