Great food and menu selection. Nice vibe. Friendly service. Full bar. Awesome to see this place in DBQ.

The food and service was excellent and the murals in the restaurant were gorgeous! We had the spring rolls, cashew chicken and beef pad Thai....so good! Portions are huge so plan for left overs. read more

Me and my wife enjoyed the food and their restaurant is decorated very nicely. We would both recommend highly and will go back again..

I ordered carry out and my food was ready when they said it would be. I ordered medium spice and it wasn't spicy at all. I would have liked a little bit of a kick. The food was ok. I either wouldn't return or order something different. I had the chicken stir fry. read more

Came here on a trip to Galena/Dubuque and this place was excellent!! I got the hibachi tofu with no egg and I gotta be honest it was so damn good I ate the whole plate except for a few leftover grains of rice. The sauce was super flavorful and the veggies and tofu were cooked beautifully. Also, the server was really sweet, the decoration is cute, and everything was very clean. 10/10 definitely recommend this place if you find yourself in Dubuque and are looking for some reasonably priced and delicious vegan options! read more

Fresh food! Loved the chicken pad Thai and the green curry! Ordered take out when we got to Dubuque for vacation & was perfect. We had plenty of leftovers as well. read more

I really wanted to love this place. The decor is bold and unique, the space is grand and there isn't great Thai food in the midwest but I was holding out hope. Basically, there isn't anything wrong with Pete's but there is something sort of missing in the final delivery. Keep pushing on and with a little more attention to detail, there is a great restaurant within reach. read more

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. read more

I have got to say. I am honestly shocked at the bad and lack of service I got here. I brought my fiance and mother to this restaurant, we took a table and waited for someone to greet us and take our order... 10 minutes past and no word from anyone. The place was not busy at all, only maybe a 2 or 3 customers were in the building and the staff did see us come in, it is not like we were hidden, we were right up front. Yet, the staff behind the bar was not doing much at all. Did not even look at us, greet us or even acknowledged our presence. When my fiance asked if anyone is going to help us, the person behind the bar gave the most disgusting look to us and said "just a moment" in a very rude tone. At that moment, I gave them the privilege to not help us at all and left. It's places like Pete's I absolutely cannot support or tolerate. When your staff cannot even do the bare minimum of greeting your guests, I cannot tolerate that. I can honestly say I will NEVER be back here. In fact, I will be telling all of my friends and family to not even bother with this place. I had this place once, it was okay, but when the service I experienced was this horrific, it completely ruins my total respect for this establishment. I will never support a business like this, ever. read more

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. read more

Pete's Thai Kitchen - Duck curry - Thai Near Me - Dubuque, Iowa

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. read more

Excellent food and service. The times are a little weird but the ambiance, atmosphere and food are great.

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! read more

We were delighted to find a place with gluten-free options and a gluten-sensitive menu, and Pete's Thai was full of flavor and variety. They let me add extra veggies to my pad Thai and substitute gluten-free tamari for dipping my fresh rice paper rolls. My food was delicious, and my husband's pumpkin curry was spicy and satisfying. We'll be back. read more

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. read more

Delicious food with a beautiful setting. The staff was friendly and the food came out of the kitchen at a reasonable pace.

Food came out extremely fast but was unfortunately subpar. Service was great, and environment was quaint and welcoming. Would come back. read more

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. read more

The spicy wok noodle with pork was subpar.... Pork was toooo dry I cannot finish. Ambient was good.

The food was incredibly tasty, and the flavorful curry and stir fry we tried contained a good amount of vegetables. We plan on returning.

Pete's Thai Kitchen came to us as a recommendation from the owner of The Calico Bean. Wow! Unbeknownst to us, we visited the restaurant on the second night they were officially open for business. Apparently a soft-opening happened the weekend prior, so we felt really special getting to check this place out while we were in town on our family vacation. Six of us arrived at about 7pm on Thursday night. Service was really good and everyone was attentive to us. Restaurant wasn't packed, but it was pretty full. They don't take reservations. Appetizers: Crispy Wings & Crab Rangoon Entrees: Thai Basil Stir Fry w/ Chicken, Sautéed Vegetable Stir Fry w/ Chicken, Tamarind Fish Stir Fry, Sautéed Vegetable Stir Fry w/ Shrimp, Traditional Pad Thai and a Curry w/ a side order of Cucumber Salad. We even tried the Sticky Rice w/ Mango for dessert. The Jasmine rice that was served with the Stir Fry was delicious. I ate my bowl, as well as my husband's. Everything was very fresh and tasty. The assortment of sauces that were placed on the table once our entrees arrived was a nice touch as well. We were really impressed with the overall atmosphere. I loved the purples and golds and all of the artwork in the restaurant. They kept the original ceiling of the building, which was also neat to see. The simple, but well executed decor is lovely. Even Pete's menus are awesome! Please tell me what kind of paper they're printed on...vellum? You won't find a cooler menu anywhere this side of the Mississippi. I highly recommend Pete's Thai Kitchen! Give this great new, local business a try. The family story about how they came to relocate to Dubuque is quite interesting. I like the location of the restaurant as it's away from Main St. and other dining. There are homes right across the street and a school behind the building. Yay, Pete's! read more

Walk in an be welced by the purple and gold streamers on the ceiling. The mural on the wall and the comfortable seating. judging by the number of people here I would say it has been successful so far and once the food came I can see why. We got the Thai meatballs that had wonderful flavor and texture. The pineapple fried rice was fantastic with great flavor and a little heat. Definitely coming back read more

Pete's Thai Kitchen - Inside seating - Thai Near Me - Dubuque, Iowa

Such a delicious meal- from the Thai mule, the spring rolls and shrimp in a blanket to the desserts. The server was perfect. The day was beautiful for outdoor seating. The shrimp in a blanket with chili sauce was delightful. The yellow curry and pineapple fried rice were amazing. So flavorful! The ginger noodles were bland, but adding a little curry really spiced it up! For dessert we shared the mango rice pudding, the egg custard and sweet rice pudding and the fried bananas with ice cream. They were all great- but my favorite was the fried bananas. Scoop up some of that warm honey with a bite of banana and ice cream. Chefs kiss. We left with enough for another meal. 10/10 will eat here MANY more times. read more

Outstanding! Pete's Thai has the best food around and so many good choices on the menu. Has to be considered one of Dubuque's finest!

Great meal, came with a party of 6 for late lunch. . Food service and atmosphere were outstanding! Definitely will return

Best Thai food ever! We are Thai food junkies and grew up in the Chicago suburbs, so had access to almost everything. We think this is some of the best anywhere! read more

Wonderful hidden gem in Dubuque. The crabmeat rangoons were the best we've ever had! Service and ambiance was good too.

We found this restaurant through a gluten free search. It was wonderfully painted with colorful murals. Service was excellent on a busy Friday night. When I asked for a gluten free menu, she brought me a regular menu with Xs on items containing gluten. I had a spicy shrimp salad that was very good. We will return if we are in Dubuque again. read more

This place is ridiculously good.

Highly recommend the red curry or anything with a peanut sauce. We make special trips to Dubuque just to go here. read more

Great food and service. I loved the fresh spring rolls and choices for entree. Nice

Service was good. Waitress was very nice. She's the only reason for the 2 stars. Food was terrible! Dumplings were cold and mushy. 100% microwaved!!! Sauce was just soy sauce. Peanut stir fry was soggy and watered down. Curry was insanely salty and the potatoes were undercooked. I don't know who works the kitchen but I'd bet it's a part time job because it was obviously thrown together by someone doing the bare minimum. read more

Consistently great food! Best Thai in the area and THE best crab rangoons you can get in Dubuque. Perfect place for date night. read more

I was beyond thrilled to be in town for the soft opening of Pete's Thai, as the owners are family friends. Good Thai food is hard to come by, so the neuron of a new restaurant was exciting. At first, the location is a bit out of the way, but this will be a restaurant worth driving to. The interior decor and art are absolutely on point. The colors are inviting and cozy, and you'll want to sit and chat for hours. Service was great, and from what I could tell, things were running pretty smoothly for it being the 2nd night. The booths were packed with people and food was consuela coming out of the kitchen. The drinks were good, they even have Thai tea and coconut water! The menu was a bit overwhelming, but it the her way possible. They have soups, salads, stir fry, noodles, and curries. Plenty of mouth watering options that can be made vegetarian if you desire. I ordered the delicious Thai tea and the Tom Kha with shrimp, and it was the best Ive had in a long time. The soup was full and the portion was spot on. I can't wait to be back this summer! read more
