I can't speak to the dinning-in experience; however, this food is really great. Big Fan! Some favorites include the Tom Yam Soup (Veggie), Coconut Curry, Egg Rolls, and the Pad Kee Mao.

Diner Review №2

Nice and clean

Diner Review №3

We enjoyed our first visit to Thai pepper. We were served very quickly, and the food was very good!! We will be back!

Diner Review №4

Diner Review №5

We ordered takeout for lunch and while it tasted great, we all got sick. The only common thing we ate that day was food from here. And my friend ordered the pad see yew and had a mild allergic reaction. He’s allergic to shrimp which is not supposed to be in any of the foods he ordered. Definitely won’t be back. Please be better about cross contamination Thai Pepper!

Diner Review №6

The ambiance was decent, with plenty of seating available. When we dined in, there was only one server for the entire restaurant. While the service was friendly, it was difficult to get the server's attention, as they were managing everything on their own.

Unfortunately, the food was disappointing, and the portion sizes felt underwhelming for the price. The chicken in our entrée seemed as though it had been boiled and added separately, as the spice blend didn’t absorb or adhere to the meat well. Having dined here before, we found the flavors to be off this time. The fish sauce was overwhelming in both the drunken noodles and the stir fry, making it difficult to taste anything else. Additionally, the fried rice was mushy and sticky—not at all what we expected from a fried rice dish.

Diner Review №7

Some of the worst Thai food I’ve ever had. The Rama curry was a paste of slop that was inedible. The chicken was clearly boiled with zero flavor. I had to throw it away. The pad Thai was edible but very underwhelming. The worst part is spending 40 bucks on a place that is suppose to specialize in Thai food.

Diner Review №8

So I normally eat here a lot and I had to give him one star today. Cause it felt like they just really didn't care. I have a bug in my food and that's not okay. I really felt like this was the only place I could get really good Thai food? And I'm really disappointed in them today. Ruin 50 bucks of food. I can't even eat. I have a weak stomach and this is not okay. These are the photos of what i just ate

Diner Review №9

Wanted to try a different place but the food here was void of taste. I have no idea what the rama curry was. Even pad thai was so so. Quite bummed.

Diner Review №10

You guys it’s SO GOOD!! Beef pad Thai 💯, chicken curry fried rice 💯, Thai iced tea 💯, Thai iced coffee 💯, coconut ice cream 💯, and my favorite was definitely the cream cheese rolls! 🤤. Can’t wait to come back soon!

Diner Review №11

Pretty disappointed in this place. First time and last time. Laab was overcooked, dry and missing acid, spice, and it needed more of everything. Panang curry was one note, just coconut. Pad Thai and egg rolls were okay. We asked for spice level hot and nothing was spicy.

Diner Review №12

Pad Thai is a no go. Dry and no flavor! Do not order!

Diner Review №13

Diner Review №14

Ordered chicken pad Thai and shrimp pad Thai. $50 for two plates and it’s the most bland pad Thai I’ve ever had - it tastes like it was made without sauce. Disappointed and won’t be taking my business here again.

Diner Review №15

Ordered online and my food was ready before I got there - love that I didn't need to wait but that's kinda it.

The pad thai was completely devoid of any flavor, and it was almost entirely just noodles. Hardly any chicken and that made me sad.

The gyoza pictured were steamed, but the ones we received were crispy/fried. They were adequate, but we only got enough sauce to dip about 1/3rd of them.

Underwhelmed.

Diner Review №16

Drunken noodles is amazing!

Diner Review №17

Awesome food! Drunken noodles is very flavored

Diner Review №18

Diner Review №19

The curries are delicious. Just make sure to specify VERY MILD, otherwise the dishes come very spicy.

Diner Review №20

I ordered through Uber and I’m so glad I did. I requested a Laos-style papaya salad, and it did not disappoint. I added pork belly to the salad, which was my first time trying it this way. Although the pork belly was soft, it was still good. I also ordered the pork belly as an appetizer because I wasn’t sure how much would come with the salad. I love that the food is affordable, and the quality and quantity are top-notch. Ordering anything in Eden Prairie is SUPER expensive and it being regular good. I can’t express enough how wonderful this place is. Please check try this place out.

Diner Review №22

The Thai food was decent, though not as authentic as other places. The dishes seemed a bit underseasoned, and the portions were small for the price. The service was satisfactory.

Diner Review №25

Love their customer service.
The egg rolls are so good.

Diner Review №26

I should have read the reviews more closely, but I was quickly searching for dinner on my way home, and I figured a 4.4 rated restaurant would be fine. I'm new to the state and loved the Thai place back home, but I have to say this restaurant kinda sucks.

Abysmal wait times; I stood around waiting for an online pickup for almost 30 minutes after the promised time, and I wasn't the only one. Seems like they don't even start the order until you walk in. Food was okay, nothing special or especially flavorful, luckily I had some hot sauce at home to jazz it up.

What I hated about the food is how overpriced it is for both quantity and quality. I spent nearly $50 and came out with a handful of grizzled dumplings and some freezer section-esque egg rolls the size of my thumb, and 2 only mostly-full, mostly-rice entrées at $15 apiece.

I'm not expecting fast food prices, but just charge what you need to charge for adequate portions and quality ingredients. I expected enough to get a dinner and some leftovers for lunch, instead I got a heap of rice and basically a side of protein/vegetables. I will probably not be back, and I would caution everyone else to lower their expectations if you choose to eat here.

On top of that, I overheard the hostess telling some potential diners the restaurant was closed, despite several of us waiting around for pickup orders, and the hours posted on Google indicated they were open. Not sure what the confusion was there, but it seems like a common issue according to other reviews.

Diner Review №27

Very unreliable with their opening hours.
Twice within the last two months I tried to order food at least 30 minutes before the closing time, but no luck.
They don’t answer their phone and the store front door is closed.
I live a couple of blocks away from the store. Today, after they did not answer their phone, I drove over there and again I noticed that the lights inside were on, but the doors were closed. This was at 7:30 PM. the operating hours posted on the door was showing that they will be open till 8 PM.
Frustrating experience.

Diner Review №28

Absolute disgusting food, couldn’t even get myself to take a full bite and an even worse customer service. What a waste of money and time.

Diner Review №29

Diner Review №30

Food and service is excellent but ambience needs to be improved.
So many ants on the table

Diner Review №31

Diner Review №32

I went here for a nice Thai lunch. The food was fresh and well flavored. The service was excellent.

Diner Review №33

The food portions are quite small and the food tastes similar to package Trader joes.

Diner Review №34

Diner Review №35

I had the green curry, extra spicy. It was one of the best meals I’ve had in a while. The spice level was how I like it and it had decent heat with great flavor. The price for it was really good too. I’ll definitely be back!

Diner Review №36

Pretty happy with the food. The dining room is tired, but serviceable. Definitely, will be back. Drunken noodles with shrimp were delicious.

Diner Review №37

It was empty when I are there which is a shame because the food was great!

Diner Review №38

Diner Review №41

First time tried this Thai pepper. Service is awesome and location is decent. Food is good too

Diner Review №42

Ordered Pineapple curry for take away. Picked up order and got home to find… no pineapple, no basil/lime leaves. Tasted okay with no enhancements. Nothing special. Disappointed.

Diner Review №43

Diner Review №44

I had laab and beef Thai basil stir fry. Value is lacking . Small portions for the price.

Diner Review №45

Great tasting food!

Diner Review №46

Food was delicious! Restaurant was quiet even though it was about 1/2 way full for lunch. Server was able to make food modifications for allergies. The food was served quickly. A place I would want to eat at again. 🍽️ 😋

Diner Review №47

The green curry was amazing!!

Diner Review №48

Diner Review №49

Ordered take out and it was wonderful. Fresh and flavorful. Chicken, veggies, sauce and apps were well blended. Appreciated the plastic to go containers vs the old style Chinese takeout boxes, as you can eat out of them. Quick in and out.

Diner Review №50

Diner Review №51

Awesome Thai. Highly recommended.

Diner Review №52

Diner Review №53

We went during lunch and from 11am-3pm they have a special ranging from about $9-12, which is really affordable with prices of everything going up. Not to mention the food was pretty good as well. Worth eating at if you're in the area!

Diner Review №54

Diner Review №55

Diner Review №56

Phenomenal food. Had the Stir-Fry Thai Basil with beef medium spice level. Veggies were crisp and the spice level was right at my comfort level (which is what I like). My husband had the Pad Thai with shrimp and it was also terrific. Spring rolls were large and freshly made. Our first time here and we will be back often.

Diner Review №57

Nothing special. Definitely catering to the inexperienced Thai cuisine person. Mild pad Thai has zero heat. The eggs are incredibly soaked in sauce. Massaman curry is just ok, again catering to the inexperienced Thai food customer. Egg rolls and cream cheese puffs were good.

Diner Review №58

Great food & fast, friendly service. I had the Tom Kha soup which was delicious! See you next time! :)

Diner Review №59

This was the worst food that I've ever had. It took a total of 5 minutes to prepare and pay for. It was dicussing,raw uncooked. Why are they still open?

Diner Review №60

Food has a lot of flavor as well as the Thai tea.

Diner Review №61

Great food and large portions!

Diner Review №62

Great food kinda pricey but worth every penny

Diner Review №63

Good food, good spice levels! We come every couple weeks for lunch or takeout. Big fan of the curries & sweet and sour in particular. Nice option to have right up the street!

Diner Review №64

Diner Review №65

I LOVE this place. I eat their pad Thai and spring rolls 3x a week and don’t care who knows it.

Diner Review №66

Pineapple curry was delicious! Tried 5 entrees and liked them all.

Diner Review №71

The waiter was awesome at his job. He memorized all of our orders with extra appetizer orders and we had a party of 5. The food was okay. If I was in Bloomington, would I go there again? Probably not. But it wasn’t bad. We had beef laarb too and the meat was hard to chew and I had beef basil stir fry and meat was little bit tough to chew. The cheese egg rolls was super small and plain. The egg rolls were more or Chinese egg rolls than Thai egg rolls.

Diner Review №72

Diner Review №73

Apps were fresh, hoy and tastey. Entrees were blah, because the chicken was gritty and obviously held too long in fridge-not as fresh as just made. Tea was good. Service was outstanding.

Diner Review №74

We've tried Thai Pepper a couple of times with mixed results. The pad thai has been good but the curries have not. Specifically, the veggies in the red curry (carrots, red peppers) are raw, dry, old, and therefore very tough. The vegetables should be wilted, but not mushy. These, however, have not touched a frying pan at all. Also, the beef is beyond tough - it cannot be chewed - at all. It seems to be top round, and a low grade at that. Sadly, tough, inedible beef seems to be the norm at restaurants these days, but this might be the toughest yet!

Diner Review №75

Excellent food at a good value, and nice specials on weekdays.

Diner Review №76

Diner Review №77

Diner Review №78

Diner Review №79

I adore Thai Pepper! The food is delicious, the service is quick, and the atmosphere is beautiful.

Diner Review №80

I've gone to a lot of thai restaurants here in MN and one thing that bothers me is a high priced low portioned menu. Had the Nam tok for 15 bucks on the way back home from a long 2 hour drive and the portion was just so disappointing. Can get it for a lot more at other restaurants. Probably will be the first and last time coming here.

Staffs were friendly, though, and the fried rice was okay.

Diner Review №81

Quiet little place with great food!!!

Diner Review №82

Diner Review №83

The Tom Kha was the best I ever had.

Diner Review №84

Diner Review №85

Absolutely delicious food!

Diner Review №86

Diner Review №87

Pad Thai was tasty, but mild. Round up on spice if you want it hot. Thai tea was oddly minty.

Diner Review №88

I enjoy trying new Thai spots in the area and normally get takeout. I ordered the Pad Thai medium heat. As soon as I picked it up I noticed the container was substantially lighter than any other place I had tried. I included a photo of another Thai spot with the same order and price and Thai pepper gives you about half as much food. As for the food itself it lacked in flavor and the chicken was dry. I will keep looking for my favorite Thai place because the value and quality here is not on par with expectations.

Diner Review №89

Diner Review №90

Wow, the 🍍 pineapple curry is to die for. I could literally drink just the liquid and be in heaven... When my fiance' stumbled upon this place and insisted we go back ..I had my doubts. But they have totally won me over, and we have never been disappointed. I sincerely hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Excellent food, always leaves me happy and feeling like we ate reasonably healthy, too.

Just had a wonderful meal at Thai Pepper. I ordered the stir fry basil. The vegetables were perfectly cooked, not overdone. The service was great. This was my first time here and I Loved it

Diner Review №95

It is a little expensive, but the food is always great! The staff are friendly and it’s never too long of a wait.

Diner Review №96

Server was not very friendly or helpful. They didn't have the curry dish that I picked, so I had to make a second choice. We were not offered a refilled pot of tea. On a positive note, the tempura was delicious!

Diner Review №97

We absolutely love Thai Pepper's food! and so has everyone we have shared it with!

Diner Review №98

Diner Review №99

Diner Review №100

The food was very good. The pineapple fried rice is a little spicy but not crazy, very tasty and loved the cream cheese rolls. The service was good.

Diner Review №101

Two times o have waited for over 20 minutes when ordering on the website. Food is ok but when they tell you when the order will be done they should honor that!

Diner Review №102

Great food and great service!!!
Highly recommend 👌

Diner Review №103

Very delicious! Aloy mak 🙏🏻💫

Diner Review №104

Ordered pad thai chicken NO taste at all. Good size helping but nothing like thai food made in Thailand.

Diner Review №105

Diner Review №106

Hours are not accurate

Diner Review №107

The food was amazing, the veggie egg rolls just melted in are mouth but had a crunch at the same time the restaurant looked wonderful and the Service was impeccable, the music was great, with amazing design!

Diner Review №108

Absolutely delicious! We enjoyed the cream cheese rolls, the Tom Kha Soup, the Rama curry, and one of the stir fried noodle dishes (the name escapes me at the moment). The flavor was heavenly. Everything was so fresh, and the service was excellent. Highly recommend!

Diner Review №109

Excellent!

Diner Review №110

I picked up a Cashew dish for lunch it was 12$ the chicken was dry and rubbery the amount you get is a joke they give you these Cream cheese tiny little roll up things very disappointed wont ever go back there they wont be open long I guarantee that I am always looking for a new Thai or Chinese restaurant I love the that type of food but I cannot find a decent one its all a cash grab no more Quality to be had!!!

Diner Review №111

Diner Review №112

Pad Thai was good, appetizers were very disappointing (not at all like the pictures.) Cream cheese “puffs” were slim, egg roll-shaped. Fish “cakes” were flat pancakes , silver dollar in size. Not a great value or first impression…

Diner Review №113

So incredibly delicious!

Diner Review №114

Myself and 6 friends ordered from here for dinner this past weekend and everyone loved their food. My friend said it was the best pad Thai she's had. I got the green curry and it was amazing.
Don't skip the cream cheese rolls!

Diner Review №115

Excellent food.
If you like spicy fried rice go for Chicken curry fride rice(hot) tasted amazing.

Veg spring rolls and chicken satay is well cooked. Highly recommended food..!!

Diner Review №116

Excellent food! We shared the Red Panang Curry and Beef Laab salad. Both were very, very tasty. Go eat at Thai Pepper!

Diner Review №117

सामान्य Thai रेस्टुरेन्ट ...एक पटक यहाँ खानपिन गर्दा मन पर्न सक्छ

Diner Review №118

Pricey in my opinion, but rest of my family says otherwise. Aside from that the food is really good. More about quality than quantity with this restaurant. We order pretty regularly.

Diner Review №119

One of the best pad Thai places in the metro. Great food, and super fast service.

Diner Review №120

Pineapple Fried Rice with Chicken was fine. Egg rolls were fine. I root for restaurants in our neighborhood. I wish there were more!

They have Pepsi Products.

Diner Review №121

Thai basil egg noodle was a little chewy but descent flavor. I went with the medium spice but enjoy a little spice in my food. The vegetable egg rolls were probably my favorite. Friendly staff.

Diner Review №122

shrimp in the Thai Basil stir fry was perfection but the veggies seemed to be steamed separately and added as an afterthought. Needed a sauce to pull it together. But veggies were plentiful and fresh.

Diner Review №123

I absolutely love this place. So much, in fact, that the staff now know me by name. Sure, my bank account is lighter but it's so worth it to get some fresh, spicy Thai cuisine.

They are very open to input and I hope they offer a loyalty program soon!

Diner Review №124

This is not authentic Thai food. This is Americanized Thai food that's very bland and missing everything that Thai food is supposed to be. It was very disappointing.

Diner Review №125

Great food! Everything we had was amazing! Nice servers as well.

Diner Review №126

Great food and service

Diner Review №127

Only the curry and soups are vegetarian but the curries are delicious 😋

The laab, stir fry, and fried rice dishes are all made with fish sauce so if you're vegetarian or have a fish allergy avoid these items.

Diner Review №128

First time here. I got the Thai Basil noodles with chicken and pork egg rolls. The noodles had good flavor but way overcooked. Egg rolls barely had any filling and definitely didn't taste any pork. Also on the website the noodles are described as lo mein noodle, but they are more of a spaghetti noodle. I'd go again and try something different.

Diner Review №129

Diner Review №130

Very good prices, tasty Thai dishes. The dishes are savory and remind me of the best Thai restaurants I have frequented in other parts of the country (USA). I'd like to see a little more protein in the dishes but that is very ordinary now as meat cost is so high. Still, can't complain about the prices of main dishes here, especially for the good result in taste and savor. The SW Metro really needed this entrance to our restaurant scene. So grateful you are here!

Diner Review №131

Diner Review №132

Great food!
I had the mild which I called ZIPPY so next time I’ll order it hotter.

Food came out hot from the kitchen which I appreciate.

Many food options and the have tables and booths

Diner Review №133

First time to this restaurant. I ordered the coconut green curry and it was really good. No shortage of protein either. The only thing I'd add is some broccoli. Also had the cream cheese rolls. Yummy!

Diner Review №134

Excellent food. While we dined in, there were ALOT of people picking up their take out orders. Obviously very popular.

Diner Review №135

Stopped by here on our way to somewhere else and man was it a home run choice! My group shared a plate of chicken Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodles) which was probably the best I've ever had (a list that also includes a number of Thai restaurants in my now home South Florida, so this is some theoretically good competition, but I'm not a Thai expert), and chicken Pad Woon Sen, another noodle dish, but one I had never tried before and now I'm wondering why I never had because it was fantastic! It's a small & humble place that's focused on serving awesome food, generous portions (two plates was plenty for the three of us) and providing great service (he was the perfect amount of attentive, and top off the whole experience, the waiter ran out to return my mom's prescription sunglasses which she had forgotten on the table!). Highly recommend this place, give it a try, I doubt you'll be disappointed.

Diner Review №136

I really dislike when Asians cater to only whites. Not authentic at all! My beef laap only was consist of very cooked and dried beef. Only veggies were cilantros, shallots, lettuce and cucumbers. Seasoning were only powder rice, dried chili pepper flakes for hotness, and very salty. No balance at all. Served with sticky rice, says on the menu comes with sticky rice but got charged $3 bucks. Also ordered egg rolls came in 3, but looks and taste like frozen heated up. Not like what people posted here. Didn’t take anything home, paid and left tip. Please! Represent Asian if you’re gonna own an Asian restaurant that is what’s gonna make you different!! Was very disappointed what I spent, first and last experience. Only 1 star for the waiter and he was nice.

Diner Review №137

They open at noon. I got there at 12:15 and the tables and chairs were so sticky and dirty I didn't bother to order.
Please clean up!

Diner Review №138

This place is boss. Don't miss out on a great Thai place. Get out of your comfort zone and go hard. Praise God, ya digg?

Diner Review №139

Appetizers papaya salad was the best than the Pad Thai, Pad See Eew. Main entries were lack of intense flavors overall. Sweet Curry entry was bit of too sweet.

Diner Review №140

Diner Review №141

Tried green coconut curry and it was fantastic!! Will go back every chance I get.
Service was great as well. These are the people to look after and keep in business, not McDouglas

Diner Review №142

Finally…excellent Thai food without having to commit to a long road trip from EP. Wonderful flavors and nice heat. Waited about 20 min for carry out. They seemed quite short staffed on a Friday evening but still did a great job. This will be a regular stop for me.

Diner Review №143

Delish!!!!!

Diner Review №144

Tried this place tonight after craving some pad Thai. It was fantastic! Did chicken and beef, and there was plenty of meat, and tasted delicious. Also had the pork gyoza and those were awesome too!

Will definitely be back.

Diner Review №145

My favorite restaurant in West Bloomington! So happy to have great Thai food in the area!

Diner Review №146

GREAT Thai food! The Pad Thai is amazing! Be sure to try both versions of their fried rice!

Diner Review №147

Pad thai is the best and papaya salad should not be missed. Pad See Ew is also good too.

Diner Review №148

Quality was good... Portions were a little small for the price... Red curry chicken was good; pad Thai could have used a little more flavor for me... I like to see the noodles a little darker with more fish sauce and soy sauce..

Diner Review №149

Insanely delicious and intense flavors. Highly recommend the papaya salad and the Pad Thai. The mango with sweet sticky rice is also a MUST order when coming here.

Diner Review №150

Delish! The food was yummy (Pad Thai and Egg rolls).
Service was excellent and the price was reasonable.

Diner Review №151

Dishes were flavorful, you can hear your food being made- crunchy fresh veggies & tender protein. The service was amazing and we throughly enjoyed ourselves! We will be back- best Thai food we’ve had so far!!

Diner Review №152

Diner Review №153

Diner Review №154

Savory.

Diner Review №155

Delicious across the board-noodle dishes, curries, and soups are all amazing. Best Thai I've found in the neighborhood!

Diner Review №156

Service was clean and friendly. Food was very good, but not over the top excellent. Still I would go there again.

Diner Review №157

Loved the dishes we ordered today - all vegan. Tom Kha soup, Red Curry with pumpkin, Curry fried rice. Dinner was rounded off with the amazing dessert of "Mango with Sticky Rice"

Diner Review №158

Staff was a bit overwhelmed / short-handed, as restaurant was quite busy on a sunday evening. However, once we got our food, it was very understandable why they were swamped. Really good stuff. Will be back. Thank you!

Diner Review №159

We have ordered takeout from here 3 times in the last month already! Their pad Thai, egg rolls, panang curry, and this ginger stir fry dish… all of it is delicious. They also allow you to choose a spice level or none at all, on their menu which is perfect for us since my partner doesn’t do spicy but I like spicy. The service is always prompt, and the food fresh with good portions. Highly recommend!

Diner Review №160

A new neighborhood gem of a restaurant! Thai Pepper in West Bloomington has opened and our family of 6 went there last night. I take my Thai food seriously and the flavors in all 9 different dishes we ordered were among the best I've ever had. (and trust me when I say I've sampled a lot all over the states) I will be dreaming of the Mango and Sticky Rice dessert till I return.
I have found my new favorite Thai food spot in the metro area. We dined in but they also do a lot of carry out business. Dining service was fast and friendly.
Please try them out and help their small business thrive. I ask for my own selfish reasons because they are so close to our house and I don't think I can live without them now!

Diner Review №161

I went to this restaurant with couple of friends and we really liked the food so much. Mainly Tom Yum soup, wrapped shrimp and Basil Fried Rice are too delicious. I recommend this restaurant 100%

Diner Review №162

Diner Review №163

They’ve got the best mango sticky rice I ever have. We will be back for sure!

Diner Review №164

Best food in Bloomington!! Love the Pad Thai so muchhhhh

Diner Review №165

Really good, but not great Thai.

Diner Review №166

Excellent food, they take credit card, and they pave online ordering!!!

Diner Review №167

A rare gem in the suburbs , goods authentic Thai Food, friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, will return!

Diner Review №168

Very friendly staff! Food came out pretty quickly and was hot. Medium spice was perfect (we like jalapeños and other medium spiced food). Can get mild, medium or hot. We both loved the Thai Basil Egg Noodles but everything had had lots of flavor. We will go back to try a few different entrees.

Diner Review №169

My compliments! I have enjoyed both your take out and dine in twice. It is consistently quality food that is delicious and unique. I will continue to give you my business weekly to ensure your healthy, quality option remains in our neighborhood! Thanks

Diner Review №170

Order khua kling stir fry! Delicious and spicy and I mean real spicy! I love spicy food and this is spicy!!

Diner Review №171

The plates taste great. Food appearance is very deceiving as it does not look very good, but has amazing tastes throughout

Diner Review №172

Quality food, attentive service, large portions. Will 100% return

Diner Review №173

Great Pad Thai!

Diner Review №174

Good food

Diner Review №175

Diner Review №176

Food was quite good, loved the spice on the Thai fried rice in particular. Downside was ordering online for takeout and the timeliness. Food was due to be ready at 5:45, we walked in and I think maybe it was just started. So took another 25 minutes. It happens and hoping this was a one time thing.

Diner Review №177

Tried it for the first time. Excellent food - green curry and pad kee mao.

Diner Review №178

Everything I ordered was cooked perfectly and I'll say that the egg rolls and cream cheese rolls were the most delicious I've ever had! Very glad they replaced the restaurant that had been there

Diner Review №179

Their pad see ew is to die for! So delicious. Love their cream cheese rolls and pork egg rolls as well! This is the second time ordering from here and we will definitely be back for more!

Diner Review №180

Food is very good. So glad to have a Thai restaurant in the area.

Portions are disappointing - they feel small compared to other Thai restaurants.

Diner Review №181

Delicious food, especially the panang curry. Flawless. It was also ready super fast. I'm super happy to have this place in the neighborhood!

Diner Review №182

Diner Review №183

The food tasted great, but the portions were super tiny. Satay which usually comes with 4 to 6 pieces at other restaurants had 3 tiny pieces. We got takeout and so ended up feeling less than satisfied. Also the person did not enquire about spice level and I forgot to specify, so food was a bit bland for us.

Diner Review №184

We ordered Tom Yum soup. It was ok but the vegetables - carrots, green beans, and brocolli (didn't look fresh) were undercooked. The deepfried tofu was overcooked and chicken was tough. We were hoping the food quality would be better since we like having a Thai restaurant so close. Maybe the A-squad wasn't in the kitchen today. The online ordering for take out was very easy and worked well. We'll try it again another time.

Diner Review №185

The food was so good, we ate it before we thought to take a photo. We enjoyed a late lunch today here for the first time and loved everything. Tried the cream cheese rolls, red curry with duck and the drunken noodles. My husband said the drunken noodles were very flavorful and the closest to a Thai restaurant we ate at when visiting Seattle that has been our standard of comparison for years. Red curry was fresh and flavorful with perfect amount of spice for my liking. Excited to come back and share with family and friends very soon! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Diner Review №186

A great meal! We are excited to have this new spot in the neighborhood and looking forward to coming back.

Diner Review №187

We live near this restaurant so we were anxious to try it. We really enjoyed our lunch visit there today. I ordered the Cream Cheese Rolls appetizer and the Pan Woon Sen with chicken entree. Both were excellent! Others at our table ordered the egg rolls, Pad Thai with chicken, Pad Prik Khing, Stir-fry Cashew, and Asparagus Stir Fry. Everyone was happy with their choices. We will be back!

Ordered for 3 and ended up eating alone tonight - which I am neither ashamed nor mad about.

Apps: I ordered the chicken satay & pork belly. They were out of the pork belly, which is a bummer…but that means they sold out (a good sign). I ended up getting the sausage in its place. Satay was tasty despite missing a skewer - but the sausage is killer. Super snappy casing and bursting with flavor. Second best thing I ordered.

Entrees: I got the Pad Thai & Tom Yam soup (explicitly asking for “Thai level hot”). The rice noodles were cooked perfectly. There should definitely be more chicken for $14 but it was good. The Tom Yam on the other hand…legitimately in the top 5 best soups I’ve ever had in my life. I love food so spicy that it’s basically molten lava. While it was not nearly that hot, I was pleased with the heat level and almost could feel a bit of sweat on my forehead. If you do not like spicy - do not order Thai Hot. However, whatever you do…order the Tom Yam!! It’s complex, fragrant and out of this world.

Giving a 5 star for a few reasons:

- They are brand new and I know how difficult it is opening a new restaurant location. When I did it, I wasn’t dealing with a pandemic or severe labor shortage either.

- It’s a Friday night at dinner time.

- They we’re extremely friendly.

- Im going to be craving the Tom Yam until I order it again 🤤

All in all, a very solid meal. They are understandably working out a few kinks but I recommend Thai Pepper and will be back soon.

So excited to have a Thai restaurant in the area! The owners were gracious and excited about their new business. The Pad Kee Mao was tasty. I ordered it with a mild spice level. Next time, I will order med spice as the mild was minimal.

Be patient, they just opened and it is SO worth any wait. Happy to have a good Thai place nearby finally! Definitely recommend. We had Rama curry, Pad Thai, and basil fried rice. Everything was delicious!

So happy this place opened. Fresh, vibrant and flavorful curries. Delicious noodles. Will definitely be returning!
