So sad 😞 the restaurant disappointed me today, even though this restaurant has always been my go-to. I usually order the Rad-Na togo, but this time when i brought it home, it was inedible. The sauce turned into a gooey mess and clumped together and the chicken was salty. I tried to eat it but just couldn’t and have to throw away the whole thing. Can you tell the chef to use less thickener ( like corn starch or whatever you put in to make the sauce thick) ? And i heated up the food by the way, it’s just that too much thickener was used so even when you heat it up, it’s still clumped together. Thank you

I eat a LOT of Thai food and this place is my all time favorite. Incredibly flavorful, always fresh, big portions, and a wider than usual array of unique dishes - especially for vegetarian options! Highly recommend!

This is such a wonderful, casual place to enjoy great Thai food. The decor and music is very traditional. I had the panang curry which was really good. I look forward to trying more of their dishes. Great vibe, great food, great service.

Thai Pepper is a great place. Their menu has an amazing variety of dishes. Every new dish I've tried here has always been pleasantly satisfying. The portions are also pretty generous, specially relative to the price. The flavors in the pad thai are very well balanced and not overly sweet like at a lot of other restaurants.

Excellent service and food. I had the pad see ew and it was fantastic. I followed that with a Thai iced tea with coconut milk so it was dairy free and they did that no problem. It was so good! For desert I had the black rice and coconut ice cream, also very good! My daughter had yellow curry with tofu and mango sticky rice for desert. She loved both. We will be going back for sure and recommending to family to try it as well.

The best Thai food I’ve had in Washington state. I don’t even want to try anywhere else. I got the pad see ew and it was delicious and the portions are great! I love this place. It makes me want to live downtown so I can come here more.

The food here is delicious! I was craving emerald curry….. and they delivered! The curry is creamy, the serving sizes are generous, and the flavors awaken the senses. They have a tired spice level. I normally go for something with a kick and always choose to play it safe with my first time and keep it at a 2. I’m so glad I did, it was the perfect amount of kick. We also ordered the DUCK fried rice!!!! Chefs kiss!!!

Please do not serve bad ingredients.. I just read some other comments related to the restaurant serving rotten food or having foreign objects in the food. My experience was that the cucumber that came out with our fried rice was bad. It was bitter and sour. I accidently ate the whole piece :/ . We notified the server, hoping that they would not serve it to others. This is an important health issue and needs to be taken seriously. Please be more cautious with the dish you make. Otherwise, the fried rice was good. Skip the pad thai. I won't be back - there are many other good restaurants than to try this place again.

Our new favorite Thai restaurant. Food is authentic Thai except for the portions which are American (ie HUGE).

Garlic fried rice spice level 3 was bomb.com

My go to place for Thai food. The price point is reasonable, a single dish has yet to disappoint me, and the portions are fantastic. I eat here so often, dine in, take out, delivery, that my bones are probablyade of their food at this point. 5 stars for everything

This is such a wonderful, casual place to enjoy great Thai food. The decor and music is very traditional. I had the panang curry which was really good. I look forward to trying more of their dishes. Great vibe, great food, great service.

I judge Thai places from their pineapple fried rice. Theirs was so good! No peanuts either!

Unfortunately, we were disappointed with our experience. Both of our orders came out at different times so we had to wait for the other persons food to be served and then we needed to remind the server about our rice. When paying out they told me my card wouldn’t run so I gave them another one, just to check my email the next day saying they charged both cards for the full amount. I also was sick all night, throwing up and the other fun kind. Thai pepper was the only thing I ate yesterday so I am assuming it was the Crab Curry I ordered. So in summation: I’m out more money than I should be, my stomach is all wonky and we most likely won’t be back as a result. Maybe it was just a weird night for the kitchen, but just be careful if ordering the crab 🤢

Incredibly tasty and authentic food, definitely come try it!

Lunch special is a good deal. The yellow curry was yummy.

Probably the worst experience in any thai restaurant i have had in US. Ordered Pad thai which was aggressively tasting bad with strong etf smell and was refused refund.

I eat a LOT of Thai food and this place is my all time favorite. Incredibly flavorful, always fresh, big portions, and a wider than usual array of unique dishes - especially for vegetarian options! Highly recommend!

This is the third time I have ordered. When we are visiting Tacoma and when we are in the mood for Thai, we come here. We usually get chicken or beef fried rice. Usually the food is 5 star worthy. But this time they delayed the takeout order and also the taste was not as good. But will try again.

The best Thai food we have had in a long long time. We will definitely be back!!!!

My favorite Thai place in Tacoma. Excellent food!

Used to love thai pepper and eat often! However, last time I went they served my friend bad chicken that smelt awful and made her sick. I know two other people this has happened to recently as well. Not good.

Food was delicious and pricing was decent.

Un lugar para ir a almorzar. Tienen un buen menú de almuerzos . El precio es bueno y la comida estaba muy bien. Con el menú del medio día obsequian una pequeña sopa.
Comida 8/10
Atención 7.5/10
Lugar y comodidad 7.5/10

Will definitely be back food and service was amazing

I have gotten food poisoning here several times, they clearly serve rotten food

Absolutely the BEST Thai food in the Tacoma area. I’ve tried all the Thai restaurants and this hands down is the tastiest. You have to try their red curry lunch special for $14. Yum!

Delicious food!!!! I’ve only gotten takeout food from here (twice) so far having JUST moved to the area, and it did not disappoint both times! The food was ready quickly, and the employees were attentive right as I’d come in to pick up. I’m a vegetarian so got two dishes with tofu; the tofu that comes in the pad thai is especially INCREDIBLE. Will def be returning! Thank you!

Great food and atmosphere..staff excennet service!

The lemongrass chicken is the absolute best.

The 3 spice trout was absolutely amazing. Served on a bed of spinach to boot. Brown rice was properly cooked and the sauce for the mushroom, red pepper and corn was stupendous. Pat yourselves on the back.

First time around the Seattle/Tacoma area and was looking for a good Thai restaurant to get a quick bite to eat. I particularly love trying Massaman Curries from the different cities I go to as it’s one of my favorite Thai dishes. The Massaman Curry from Thai Pepper is hands down the best I’ve had so far! Highly recommend this and the Crab Curry for a delicious dinner choice. Next time I’ll be sure to try some of the Chef’s special dishes and the mango sticky rice, which came highly recommended.

In general this is my fave Thai place in Tacoma! Great local spot! Recently though the food hasn’t been as spicy as normal (I love spicy food and generally order 3/4 spice level which used to be pretty darn spicy). I’d say it’s half or less recently in terms of spice. Not sure if there’s a new chef that’s working or what’s going on but I’ve noticed it a few times now.

Good service and the food was amazing!! Thank you 🥰

Incredible pad se ew. They really hit the mark on this simple classic. Delicious with fried tofu and equally delicious vegetables. Consistent every time I’ve gone here over the few years.

This is our go-to option for Thai in Tacoma. We tried several Thai places around the city which were OK, but once we found Thai Pepper, we did not go anywhere else. The staff is friendly and the food is great. I would definitely recommend!

So freaking good. 🌶️❤️☝️

Opened at 12pm. I was the first to order, pad thai. Simple. To go order. I'm sitting here 30 minutes waiting for my to go order. Never had to wait 30 minutes for pad thai at any thai place let alone being the first one to place an order. Not sure what they're doing in the kitchen but I'm sitting here...10-15 minutes doesn't mean 30.

This place has good food went during lunch time and had the Rama Chicken.

Very disappointed. The food tasted amazing, but unfortunately I packed my curry to finish it at home, when I dumped it into a plate to warm it up I noticed my beef green curry had raw chicken in it. Hopefully I don’t get sick from this but I was pretty disappointed when I saw this, I had to wash it off to be sure it was indeed raw chicken in my beef curry.

Just ok. Generous portions and friendly staff. But both the pad Thai and the pad kee mao were really bland, even with a side of peanut sauce.

Service was a little slow, but the food tasted great.

Food was good, service was not. Felt very ignored from the moment we walked in. Had to flag down the server several times for attention. The doors were also open and there were bugs everywhere and that made it difficult to even enjoy the meal.

We were driving through and stopped to eat at this Thai restaurant. It was delicious! We had the potstickers appetizers which had a great flavor - the dipping sauce it came with was delicious! We got the Pad See Ew, Massaman Curry, and Cashew chicken. They were really tasty - especially the noodles in the Pad See Ew. Service was wonderful!

Yummies!

Pineapple. Fried. Rice. That is all you need to know.

Unless I ordered something wrong, in which case disregard this review, their pad kaprow is not how it is traditionally made. It is supposed to be ground meat and stir fried. This was big pieces of dry chicken breast. Also, the egg I ordered for on top was cooked too long so no runny yolk to enjoy. The flavor was good, however. Anyway, I'll be back but won't order this dish again. Not sure if it's a regional thing, but I've always had it ground, in Thailand, Austin, and Virginia.

As a Thai person, I'd say this restaurant has amazing Thai food! The price is acceptable. The area is kinda hard to find a parking spot.
The reason why we gave 3 stars is because of customer service. From the person who takes phone calls to another staff at cashier, they both are lack of Thai manners. Rude and they seem to rush people. We love their food but probably won't be back again because of this manner.

Great food and service! I would highly recommend this place. Nice cozy atmosphere with great customer service.

Family said it was the best Thai they have had. Good food.

Some of the best Thai food around! My boyfriend and I go here all the time and they have never disappointed us. The staff is friendly, the restaurant is clean, and the food is delicious. I don’t eat meat and my boyfriend does, there are plenty of options for the both of us to choose from.

Been here a few times, good Thai food but can be a little pricy.

Mom’s Favorite and Avocado Curry are our favorites. Don’t bother getting the Garlic & Pepper Prawns, it’s just like 10 prawns on top of a bunch of raw spinach for way too much money.

Also not a quick pickup, every time I’ve gone I’ve waited 20 extra minutes on top of the estimate.

Serving size was large. Food was excellent.

I ended up here randomly and I’m so happy to have had stumbled upon this gem! The food and service was great!

Best food in Washington State..

The food was absolutely delicious I highly recommend coming here if you like thai food!

This is my favorite Thai restaurant. The food is stellar, and the service is always fast and friendly, regardless if you are dine-in or take-out. I always look forward to an excuse to order something from here. The interior decoration is very nice as well; modern, but with a nod to the culture of origin, and a very talented artist painted the excellent mural. My mouth is watering while writing this review and thinking of the menu options.

Mid. Good portion sizes though!

I’ve been here multiple times, and the food is amazing every time! I usually get Phad Thai and Phad See Ew.

Cold beer 🍺...extra points for Tsingtao! 🫡 Excellent service! Delicious food! The wonton soup was the 🌟 of the show!

Ordered online and order was timely prepared and exactly as ordered. I was greeted as I entered the restaurant and they quickly confirmed
Our order. Pad Thai chicken was great. Ext time will try dine in.

Wide selection, everything looks fantastic, service is fast. Can't wait to try more things here!

Quality food, service excellent and friendly, very clean and organized, fresh and prompt order time. Definitely my new favorite lunch place.

We only came in for some appetizers. We got the eggroll and spring rolls. This was my first time trying out thai eggrolls but they call it deep-fried spring rolls. It's similar to a chinses egg roll. There is only an option for vegetables. I didn't particularly care for this. The spring roll was okay. I got the spring rolls with shrimp. The dipping sauces were okay in flavor. We would like to try some of the cuisine and would likely be back to try this out.

Great eggplant dish. Fast service. Well staffed. The menu has lots of items. Gets busy during the lunch rush. One of the waitresses doesn't speak or she doesn't speak English which can be difficult.

I used to love this place but as I get older food quality is important to me. The chicken is borderline foul when it comes out, and the next day it is inedible. Very foul. I order there a few times a month but I will never order their chicken again. A lot of the lunch combinations are chicken with no option for tofu. Do not order chicken from there. It will be completely foul the next day, even in a very cold refrigerator. Bad sign.

Above average experience/ food downtown Tacoma. Easy street parking

Worst Thai food I’ve ever had. Food arrived lukewarm: tom kha (mushrooms not fully cooked), pad thai, eggplant. Tasted like regret (and excessive fish sauce and other odd flavors) from first to last bite. Service slow and indifferent.

Got burnt food and when telling the waitress… they just walked away 😂. No harm done just disappointed I was warned by the person I brought with me and I said “let’s give it a chance”. Won’t make that mistake again.

Excellent service and food. I had the pad see ew and it was fantastic. I followed that with a Thai iced tea with coconut milk so it was dairy free and they did that no problem. It was so good! For desert I had the black rice and coconut ice cream, also very good! My daughter had yellow curry with tofu and mango sticky rice for desert. She loved both. We will be going back for sure and recommending to family to try it as well.

I opted for delivery, so I can't comment on the service or atmosphere, but the food was outstanding! The panang curry and royal curry were the best Thai dishes I've ever had. I'll definitely order from here again when I'm in town.

Excellent food and atmosphere. We will be back.

Foods look really good. But taste was not quite what I expected. We ordered Hor Mok, Tom Zaap, Yam voon sen, Myeang Kam. The best one was Yam voon sen. Hor Mok was salty. Tom Zaap meat, I feel like it was overcooked so hard to chew. Myeang Kam had too much lime, too sour and didn't feel right when chewing. I was so excited when I saw how they looked but won't be my choice to go back.

TL;DR, my experience here wasn't awful, but everything left something to be desired, and one member of the staff was VERY pushy with us towards the end. It might've just been an off night, but I'm not sure if I'll take the gamble in the future.
Longer review:
The staff was disjointed when it came to seating us and cashing us out, with two different servers going in circles to accomplish the same task either time.
For food we first got the mixed appetizers, which were alright aside from some poor-tasting spring rolls and very tough (and underfilled) crab wontons. My girlfriend got the Tom Jurd and found it flavorless with an unpleasant texture, and wondered if it was fully cooked. I got the Hot Summer stir fry plate, and while the meat was alright, the vegetables did not taste good, especially the green beans.
I will say, we did get the mild spice level (my gf for a healing tooth, me because i wanted to err on the side of caution), but mild shouldn't mean flavorless.
Honestly, the best part of our meal was the Shou Mei White Tea, which was very sweet in a subtle way, steeped nicely, and came in a very nice teapot.
But then came the most awkward part. At the end of the meal, after being cashed out, an older staff member was the one who brought it back, and asked if we needed any boxes for our food left. After declining, she then started to grill us (pun not intended) about if we liked the food, what was wrong with the food, why we hadn't finished our food, etc. In her defense, she mentioned that she could discount us if we didn't like it, but as the initial payment had already been made, I didn't want to cause more trouble or hassle. But, benevolent reasons or otherwise it was very awkward to have to talk her down so we could leave.
Admittedly, this could've been a stressful night due to Valentines Day, or there could've just been more quirks in the kitchen, and maybe the higher spice levels are the real missing ingredient here. But, with the experience thus far, I'm not sure if I'll be trying it again anytime soon.
But that's just me, if you're into Thai food you should try for yourself instead of taking my word, as it appears in the other reviews people have had perfectly content experiences here.

Thai pepper aunties/uncles in the kitchen don’t mess around with their spice levels. 3 out 4 stars is damn spicy and my mom used to cook with Thai ghost peppers all the time growing up.

Papaya salad and curries are to die for.

Definitely my favorite Thai restaurant in Tacoma.

Average Thai. We were excited to try this place as we saw it online. Service was just okay, and same for the food. I don’t think we had high hopes… pad Thai was okay and the garlic bak choy was meh.

Best thing we ordered was the fridge rice!

We had high hopes for Thai Pepper that were dashed pretty quickly. This is one Tacoma spot to be skipped.

We must have beat the dinner rush as we walked in and were seated, although we were asked if we had reservations. I paused at the bar and noticed the Elysian Hazy 96 tap handle.

When the staff ask about our drink order, I asked to confirm that indeed Hazy '96 was on tap, as the menu indicated Space Dust on the menu. The staff assured me it wasn't Space Dust. I ordered and... it was Space Dust. The 12oz glass was served with a good three+ fingers of head. So they didn't know their beer and they didn't know how to pour it.

We ordered Pad See Ew, Tom Ka vegetables, 2 stars; and the fresh rolls.

The fresh rolls (3 stars for this appetizer) were tasty but would have been better had they been served to include peanut sauce with it rather than just the sweet sauce with a few peanuts floating on top.

The Tom Ka (just a 1 star entrée) arrived underwhelming. It didn't taste like Thai Siam in Ballard or any of the Federal Way Thai restaurants we've tried. It was simply off and not worth finishing.

The Pad See Ew (1-2 stars at best for this entrée) arrived last without the side of brown rice that was still on the ticket when the bill was presented. This dish missed the mark as well. Not only did the dish taste off, the noodles were overcooked and completed this lack luster dish in all the wrong ways. And was that Pad See Ew sauce? Or was it a tan colored gravy? It was too light in color, missing the sour, soy sauce, maybe the oyster sauce too? Could this have been Rad Na sauce?

If anything either entrée was '2 Star' on the heat scale, I couldn't tell.

We left wondering if there was a reason to return - probably not. Our poor entrée reviews seem to align with another vocal reviewers.

Probably the best curry we've ever had. Very welcoming and attentive staff. Prompt and delicious food. Well priced and charming, relaxed atmosphere. Parking can be a little bit of a challenge like most of downtown.

OUR GO TO!! Best Thai food in Tacoma!!! It was so yummy and spicy, just how we like our Thai food. We ordered drunken noodle with beef and papaya salad with sticky rice. Satisfying and excellent all around!

Stopped in for Sunday lunch. Definitely busy, but worth it. Flavor and spice were perfect and loved every bite of my Rad Na. Going to be coming back!

So yummy

The food wait time was longer than usual. Went to pick up food ordered. Was told food would be ready in 25min, took almost an hour.

Great service and very tasty vegetarian options

If you possess the ability to taste, it is advisable for you to come and have an experience at this place.

Sooooooooooo goooood! Absolutely no complaints! 🤤

This was the worst Thai food I’ve ever had. It seems like whomever is cooking, knows nothing about Thai cuisine. Extremely disappointing food.

Khao soi for the win!

Great Thai food with generous portions for a fair price! Favorite place for Thai food in downtown Tacoma

Craving some pad Thai for lunch and impulsively stopped here, and what a great surprise. The food was delicious! Reasonable pricing and the flavor was spot on and cured my craving. Definitely a future repeat customer.

Great food. Nice atmosphere . I would highly recommend the crab curry.

The Panang Curry is excellent. And their rice goes perfectly with any meal. Parking can be a bit of a struggle so get there early.

This is by far the best Thai in Tacoma. Duck cooked to perfection. Spring rolls are so amazing. Every dish I have tried so far has a perfect sweet/savory ratio. Prices are reasonable for what you experience, highly recommend!

We live in Puyallup. We just happened to be in Tacoma on 12/29/23 and were looking for thai food. This place came up with good reviews. Wife and I checked it out becuase we love thai food and who doesn't. Upon entering the establishment, It was busy which we understood since it's Friday night at 1800hrs. We waited about 20 minutes to be greeted. There was few other customers waiting for their to go orders and a few others to be seated. There was two empty tables, so one of them was for us to be seated. After being directed to our table to the time we ordered our food. It took another 45 minutes for our food to finally arrive at 1943hrs. They came and apologized for the inconvenience becuase they had messed up on our orders. Anyway, We ordered phad thai, tamarind prawns and beef salad. After getting our food, We dove right into it. The Phad Thai and beef Salad was amazing. However, the Tamarind Prawns which supposed to be fried, None of the shrimp was cooked inside. So we reached out to them to get it corrected and they came back and offered to make us something new, which we on decided on Panang Curry and that took another 20mins. The restaurant then offered us 50% off the tamarind prawns from our bill. In our observation the restaurant wasn't very organized with how they were taking orders over the phone and from their dine in customers. It was very chaotic. We sat near the entrance and near the bar area to see it all taking place.

The food here is delicious! I was craving emerald curry….. and they delivered! The curry is creamy, the serving sizes are generous, and the flavors awaken the senses. They have a tired spice level. I normally go for something with a kick and always choose to play it safe with my first time and keep it at a 2. I’m so glad I did, it was the perfect amount of kick. We also ordered the DUCK fried rice!!!! Chefs kiss!!!

My favorite lunch spot!! BEST Thai food ever. While I was waiting for my takeout order. They provided me with soup and a water while I waited. SO kind and sweet. Definitely recommend❤️

Had some bomb Thai food.

Highly recommend the Thai Pepper. This is authentic Thai cuisine. You cannot go wrong.

I ordered phad king mao (beef), 4 stars for pick up. The spice was more like a 2 or 3, there were some veggies mostly tomatoes, onion and chinese broccoli. The beef was very conservative. The taste was good, nice and hot and fresh ingredients just stingy on the protein. Also, the online price is different then what they actually charged me. $16.58 after taxes- plus 2 dollar tip. On the pricy side for what I received.

Very friendly staff. Food was nice and hot :D

DON’T GO HERE! The last multiple times the service has been atrocious & so passive aggressive. Also the last few times, our pad Thai has been overly sweet. No water refills, even when asked. Lady server was so passive aggressive. Absolutely gross, We will no longer ever give our money to this place. So disappointed. Service and quality had really gone down. We’ve take out-of-towners here and they’ve told us how horrible and disgusting they are. also, there was a worker sleeping in one of the booths. I’m sorry, but that’s so weird. There no break room? So onto new things! So many other amazing places in the community.

yummy

Good curry

They burnt my food again! This is the second time i took a to go order of pad see ew and i am very disappointed

The food was beyond terrible. service was good but place was full of flies and smelt like cat food.....

Take out order - forgot one of our meals - decent food but I’ve had better for sure. I would’ve totally given them another shot, but they handled our missing order terribly. Unapologetic and it took me calling back 3 times (spoke with someone every time, they just didn’t care to make it right whatsoever) in order to get refunded.. second time I called back because they asked me to. Don’t waste your time and money on this one.

If I could do a negative fifty on their customer service, I would. I waited for my order over thirty minutes And I asked five times when it was going to be ready and I kept getting five minute.. Turn that was on the counter the entire time. Just cold then got a rude attitude from the server. There's another couple who's waiting for an hour Because they gave the order to the wrong people. I will never go to this store again

Hands down my favorite Thai restaurant in the area. The crab Rangoon and Khao soi are my favorite.
Also the Lychee Thai Tea is DELISH!!!!

When two people are eating together, bring their meals out at the same time. Bringing my meal out 15 minutes after serving my wife's meal does not make for an enjoyable dining experience. If you're going to prioritize take out orders at the expense of your in person diners, close the dining room and just be a take out joint. Also, crab wontons didn't have much, if any, crab in them.

Some of the best Thai food I’ve had! We ordered the fresh rolls, potstickers, yellow curry, and pad thai. The flavor was amazing and the portions were huge with leftovers for 2 meals. The prices are very reasonable. Great service. Highly recommend!

Royal Curry Soup was awesome. Along with the Crab Fried Rice. Will definitely going back

Best panang curry in town!

The Royal Curry was Delicious 🍛. It had prawns and pineapple in a coconut curry sauce. With a side of rice. The pad Thai is great as well.

Excellent food!

portions are big, food tastes fresh and delicious!

I am shocked there isn’t always a line out the door here. We got chicken pot stickers, chive cakes, fresh rolls, and Panang curry (hot) Everything was hot, fresh, and well spiced. It’s a little slow because everything is cooked fresh in the back and WELL worth it.

The food was amazing, took 1 1/2 hours to get my food though. The table next to us was ready to walk out due to the length of time to get food.

I love Thai food, put this place on your list

Our server was going above and beyond. The service was prompt and friendly. The food was delicious and presented lovely. The jungle curry was HOT it was a surprise. Very very good.

Service is worst food didn’t arrive even after 45 mins, waiters are rude never visit that place again. 2nd order didn’t arrive at all left the restaurant half hungry.

Wow really delicious dinner. The duck soup was fabulous. The lemongrass chicken was awesome.

Thai Pepper in Tacoma, Washington, is renowned for its flavorful and authentic Thai cuisine, featuring a wide array of dishes that capture the essence of Thai flavor. What sets them apart is not just the delicious food but also their warm and friendly staff, who create a welcoming atmosphere for diners to enjoy their dining experience to the fullest.

Delicious food

Better prices than in tri cities, wa and much better food. Portions are large food is fresh and tasty.

The servers were nice and food came out quickly, but none of it was very good. Most of what we had tasted like quickly reheated Trader Joe's meals.

I placed an order through their online website and arrived for pickup at the scheduled time, but ended up waiting for over 40 minutes. The man server didn't respond to my inquiries, and there was no explanation or apology provided. I cannot understand why they asked me to sign an additional tip receipt. Very frustrated because the food wasn't warm and was too salty with poor customer service.

The people were very nice, the place had a good vibe but the food was really bad. Tasted reheated and a little old. Maybe just a bad day for them. Probably won't be back.

The duck is fantastic, it’s got a lot of “tea” like aroma and a flavorful ginger. Seating can be a little hard, a great spot to go as a couple. A good value for what they offer!

Best Thai food for very affordable prices!
Even the Phad Thai in Lunch Combo was tasty :)

Amazing Thai food. Fast, friendly, helpful service. This was worth the trip from Seattle. If you're in Tacoma or just want to take a short ride and dine at a great Thai place, check this place out, you'll be glad you did and will want to come back.
I ordered the Tom Ka Soup (1/2), look at the size! And the Yum Salad with Prawns. So good, I decided to order the Crab Fried Rice to go and it looks delicious. Generous portions and delicious food plus incredibly friendly staff. Beautiful dining area and bar, plus outdoor patio. Plenty of parking out front and very walkable location.

Such good food! The ginger cod was an unexpected pleasure.

By far one of my favorite restaurants in Tacoma. Their Veggie Fresh Rolls, Chicken Satay, and Fried Tofu are delicious. I love their Red Curry be it veggie, chicken, or prawns. The Pad Kee Mao is very flavorful. Portions are exceptional. I always have left overs. Every dish is prepared fresh and just right. One thing I greatly appreciate is they don’t overcook anything. So veggies are always crisp and delicious. Their customer service is impeccable! Always friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend Thai Pepper. They will not disappoint. I forgot to mention they have excellent lunch specials too. Enjoy!

Amazing food, family friendly, wonderful staff interactions, nicest Thai restaurant I’ve ever been to

OMG! Sooooo good! The staff is super nice and accommodating to my vegan diet. They never disappoint! Highly recommend!

Pad Thai was great, and usually I judge a Thai restaurant on this dish alone; however, the rest was pretty awful for a Thai restaurant…. The crab fried rice, crab Rangoon, Tom Kha soup, and “Momma’s Favorite” dishes were all pretty bad. The crab fried rice had no flavor except for the crab, which was overpowering and had clearly been kept in the freezer for too long. The Tom Kha soup only had chicken and mushrooms in it…Literally, that’s it, and the chicken was super dry (even though it’s soaking in soup). The “Momma’s Favorite” was ok, except for the overcooked ingredients…. Shrimp and chicken were terribly overcooked, and the shrimp weren’t even deveined (gross).

Favorite Thai place in town

It was my first time visiting this place and I must say that the waitstaff was very courteous, and the food was outstanding, and the restaurant was very clean, keep up the good work.

So many options for food, menu is huge and so far everything I have tried is incredible. Spice/star rating is inconsistent. Facilities are a bit dingy and sometimes there are flies around the kitchen/restroom area.

This is my favorite Thai place in Tacoma, the crab wonton, sweet chili(fried chicken), swimming Rama, pad se ew, pad thai, every dish is flavourful and tasty. The drinks are amazing, and the mango sticky rice is my wife's favourite desserts.

Thai is my favorite food and I eat it every chance I get. But this was disappointing. The garlic delight was runny and had essentially a broth to it. It tasted more like teriyaki than Thai. The spice level was good.

Great place, great area, great food.

Everything is good! Great lunch menu! My favorites are the stuffed chicken wings, the ginger cod, and any of the curries!

Chef Salad is truly About Amazing 🥰 And the service is the best in town 🌈

Large chunk of hair in green curry from 6/4. Ordered take out.

Great food. Surprisingly not expense

Went here for the first time. I definitely recommend the Pad Kee Mao with beef!

Just walked out because the bartender or server at the front kept rudely mumbling about me and my friend waiting to be seated and then again about the man who was already seated at the bar.
