    Pumpkin curry
    Laurie B.

    Great food. Might be not be 100% authentic since they couldn't tell me what herbs were in the dish, but pretty close. Great atmosphere. Good service.

    This place makes DELICIOUS Thai food. We weren't sure at first because of the name "Pete's Thai" -- but the first bite of our duck curry put every doubt to rest. The spicy wok noodles were also a hit. We will certainly be back when we are back in the area.

    I would actually give this place closer 2.5 stars. We decided to try this place out during our visit to Dubuque, Iowa. This restaurant came up several times in our search, and had plenty of good reviews, so we decided to give it a try. The decor was very inviting, and had a cool hipster vibe with Thai influence sprinkled throughout. Service was adequate, but friendly. We ordered the Tom Yum Soup with chicken, Thai Basil stir fry with pork (Pad Kra Pao), and the Spicy Wok Noodles with tofu. Overall, their food was disappointingly subpar. Flavors were very one note and lacked any complexity. As in Thai cuisine, we were expecting bold, aromatic, and spicy flavors, but their dishes fell flat, dare I say, bland. The food tasted like they toned down the spice and flavor level too much in order to cater to the mass middle American palate. The stir fry's pork was beyond dry (meat was too lean and overcooked), didn't have enough basil, and it was way over sauced. Not only was there a pool of sauce sitting at the bottom of the plate, the sauce tasted mostly of soy sauce and nothing else. The soup lacked any lemon grass flavor and there was an egregious amount of onions and green onions thrown in. Finally, the noodles...I had a bone to pick with the noodles. First of all, no spicy-ness whatsoever. Second of all, the cook's knife skills were lazy at best because the chunks of vegetables were huge. Third, they did not know how to stir fry flat rice noodles. When done properly they should not break. The noodles were broken and came in small pieces which indicated an inexperienced cook. Fourth, the noodles' sauce tasted slightly burnt because it was over caramelized. Our meal was so underwhelming we didn't even finish it and didn't even bother requesting take-out boxes to bring our leftovers home. I would say what we experienced was a very bland Americanized version of Thai inspired cuisine. There are much better restaurants elsewhere. I don't think we will be returning to this establishment.

    Ok Pete's Thai! Pete's Thai??? Yes that is the name and it matches the neighborhood it is in. Im driving to find it and its just in an old neighborhood off downtown by a church. Anyhow go to Pete's. I have not quite figures out what is all infused in this place. I had the Spicy Wok Noodle. It was all fresh and fantastic. Flat rice noodles, chili garlic, onion, egg, carrots, and other yummy stuff. It is only Iowa spicy so if you want more spice just ask they will give you more spice to add. Try the crab rangoons while here too. You will not be disappointed! Oh and thank you Colleen for some great service and suggestions!! Warning! I will be back!

    Nice ambience & friendly staff. Their menu is vegan/vegetarian friendly. We ordered : Fried sweet potatoes - Average , lacked seasoning and was super oily. Pineapple Fried Rice - Good Spicy Wok Noodles - very good if you like spicy food. Not for everybody though. Thai mule & Thai iced tea - decent Pineapple fried rice (on a sweeter side) with the spicy noodles made a good combination. The portion size was good. Would love to try their other offerings.

    The food was good. Me and my brother found this place while really hungry and it didn't disappoint. He got the pad Thai which he liked and I went with the pad see eew. Missing a star because of the peanut sauce for the fresh rolls, it wasn't consistent with what most Thai spots serve, it should be thicker.

Quaint little restaurant and the decor was solid. We had to wait for almost everything which isn't surprising as they looked to be short-staffed - I hope they staff more than two front house people regularly. My friend and I had drinks, he tried a Thai beer and peach saki, which he enjoyed. I had fountain root beer. We ordered steamed potstickers, which came out too quickly, were just north of warm and the sauce was far too sweet. Underwhelming. They'd be better if they were up to temp and the sauce was more savory and less sweet. The crabmeat Rangoon was crisp on one side and a little soggy on the other, they came out hot but I think they had been sitting for a bit. The sauce was again, far too sweet. It looked like straight honey with red pepper flakes in it. The entrees however, almost made up for the appetizers. Both plates were large and outstanding flavor. He had Racy Pad Thai (shrimp) with level 2 heat (1-5). I had chicken pad Thai (level 3), with a tamarind-based sauce and chopped peanuts on top. Again, both were fantastic. Overall a pleasant experience, I will return.

The combination of romaine, cucumbers, carrots, cilantro, mint, homemade daikon, and the crispy fried egg roll wrapper created the perfect balance of freshness and crunch.

I ordered level 1 spice, and it was the perfect amount of heat without overwhelming the dish. The homemade curry paste, coconut milk, basil, peppers, and jasmine rice came together beautifully.
