    Grouper Pad Char was DELICIOUS!!!!
    Rose Leah L.

    I came here with my family for a late dinner on Saturday. It was all of our first time there. It took about 5-10mins for our waiter to bring us our menu after seating us. He was the only server working though, and there were 2 tables waiting to cash out. Service was overall good though. I ordered the Grouper Pad Char, which was DELICIOUS!! I usually prefer fish grilled/blackened. This one was breaded & deep fried, but the breading was super crunchy & very well-seasoned!! The sauce was awesome (medium spice), and it had lots of veggies. My husband ordered the pineapple fried rice, which was really good! He ordered it with hot spice level, which was the perfect combination that balanced out the spicy, sweet & salty flavors. My mom had cashew nut stir fry w/ pork, which she loved. The sauce on it was thinner than the sauces used at other Thai restaurants so I didn't like it as much, but it was still good. My mother-in-law ordered Chicken Pad Sew Ew. I was disappointed w/ it because the sauce was also a lot thinner & not the same flavor as what I'm used to. She loved it, but that was her first time having that dish. Overall, this is a good Thai restaurant. I would come here again if I'm at this area.

    Spicy Fried Rice
    Amanda T.

    So we order Thai chilli pepper through Grubhub and picked up our order. The order was ready promptly, which was great, but in my order of pad Thai I specifically wrote in special instructions "no bean sprouts" and to my surprise, when I got home and opened up my dish, there were so many bean sprouts that I spent most of the night trying to pick them out and I ended up putting them in my boyfriends spicy fried rice (that's why there are so many pictured). Definitely disappointed that they didn't read the instructions. Additionally, I wish they different to-go containers. It's one of those 3-sectioned foam containers so it looks like more food than it is and also due to the aluminum foil on the bottom, when I eat it with my fork, I would scrape off pieces of aluminum foil with my dish and accidentally eat it. If they switched to a plastic container it would be a lot better. The thing that made up for all the mistakes and the presentation was the flavor. I really enjoyed the sauce of the pad Thai, although I wished it were spicier (I ordered Thai hot), but that's subjective. The spicy fried rice was also delicious and had all the flavor elements needed. I would definitely order from them again, I would probably just order in however to avoid any issues.

    Pumpkin curry shrimp
    Kia C.

    We ordered from Uber Eats to try a new local Thai restaurant. We ordered Crab Rangoons, Thai Wings, Lemongrass Chicken and Pumpkin Curry Shrimp. Everything was delicious and fresh. The only thing I would change is that the description listed everything in the curry sauce. I could've done without the pineapple chunks since the pumpkin already has a sweetness , but that's a matter of preference. I can't wait to try other items on the menu.

    What's left of the soup

    I'd give this place an extra star if I could. The food taste is Superb. If you guys want the best duck ever this is the place. I don't even like duck. This is five star. So worth the money going here. It's a little spicy but not super spicy. You can actually taste the food not just the heat. Pineapple cucumbers onions everything stood together well. The duck sauce was amazing. The soup was a seafood soup that was well done. As a matter of fact the soup is what impressed me first! Please support these people if you are in the mood for great Thai food. This was a happy accident. I've eaten plenty of Thai places and this one tops them all just with the soup and duck. Now I'm curious to see how their Pad Thai holds up. It is a smaller restaurant and I went when it was raining so there wasn't anyone in the restaurant. Looks clean and plays some music in the background that goes with the theme of this place. I'm wanting to bring my vegetarian friend here to see what she thinks of it. I know I'm all about the duck but they did have some vegetarian options and so I'm curious to what she thinks. The soup i had is the hot one. Forgot to take pictures before I ate it. Opps.

    Drunken noodles with beef.. yes it does have enough protein! Great flavor..i loved it
    Erika O.

    First of all, the staff is amazingly nice. Nice, clean space . We got there around 6 and there was a couple of costumers..when we left it was full and people coming in and out for take out. We had the fried springs roll, nothing outstanding..i can do without them but the entrees? Oh Lord..that was SO GOOD. We had the curry mid spicy with chicken. So delicious...great curry, the flavor..i fell in love with. Good portion of the protein..my only complaint is the plate it was served hahahahhaha i wanted something "bowl kind of thing" but this is a restaurant no ikea so ORDER IT We also had the drunken noodels with beef...YES..do this please, good portion of protein, of noodles, great flavor. Its a GREAT place, good prices, great staff...im so happy we found it...all the good reviews are TRUE. Lots of costumers ordering the thai tea and the fresh spring rolls..obviously regular costumers..i love that our local places get that support

    Chicken masamon curry with potatoes
    Kim N.

    My brother picked up to go for our family dinner. Having tried most all of the Thai restaurants in Tampa, I would say this is a better Thai restaurant. There is another location in LUtz, hopefully it's the same owner Chicken fried rice no veggies - 5/5 very well seasoned and cooked. For such a simple dish it was not bland. -Drunken noodles with chicken - 4/5 I would think this is a great dish if you were eating in the restaurant. The flavors were definitely there but by the time it got to its destination the noodles were clumped together. It was slightly spicier than pad Thai. -Beef salad - 5/5 this felt like a healthier dish with good amount of meat portion -Chicken Pad Thai - 5/5 Super fresh and ingredients blended well together, plentiful peanuts to top it off. I would maybe suggest more bean sprouts for texture. -Gyoza - 3/5 these are very small with very minimal filling -Chicken masamon curry with potato- 3/5 not a fan of this dish. I will stick with Penang curry next time -bancock wings- 4/5 Very soft and flavorful. Comes with a side salad with peanut dressing. - Papaya salad -4/5 fresh salad but very small portion compared to most restaurants. They did not ask for the spice level , could use a little bit more kick.

    Crab Rangoon
    Brittany M.

    This place is always amazing not just the service but the food as well, luckily we got here on a less busy night because my daughter wasn't having it she was tired but the waitress here was so kind about the situation gave her and my son a little treat while we were eating and luckily we got through the meal. My husband got the amazing Rama like always which is a delicious peanut sauce chicken and veggies and rice and I got the spicy chicken with rice and they were both amazing it's our #1 Thai restaurant go to they always do it the best!

    Panang Curry with Chicken and Jasmine rice.
    Heather S.

    I have walked by this place so many times and never even noticed it was there. Luckily a friend wanted to meet up for lunch and she picked this hidden gem. The place was quiet and not crowded for lunch. I had the panang curry with chicken mild and it came with Jasmine rice. Everything was amazing. The portion size was perfect and flavors were fantastic. I am not a fan of spicy food and this was the great for me. The server was very professional and pleasant. Price was average for today's market. We will be back to try other food in the future.

    Thai iced coffee
    Melissa L.

    I was craving Thai food this weekend so I ventured out to Thai Chilli Pepper which used to be Thai Smiles in my old reviews. This time, there was a completely new staff and they were very friendly. Food Thai Iced Coffee: Very delicious if you love Thai coffee. Shrimp Tom Yum: It was piping hot when it came out but it was very delicious and the shrimp were huge! I liked it a lot. House Fried Rice: It was very delish but it was very oily. I was not used to that but it was still delish nonetheless. Spicy Drunken Noodles: It was a different taste from the regular drunken noodles, there was a red paste or sauce that was overpowering the dish and I wasn't a fan. I'll definitely stick to regular drunken noodles now. Overall, the place wasn't too bad. Our cups didn't get refilled but the waiters were nice. When they came with the bill, the waiter had a handheld credit card scanner so that made the process very fast and efficient. I may return in the future.

I was still getting their key lime pies at Winn-Dixie up until this past week. For those who are not local, they started their business in Tampa over 30 years ago. The pies can be found nationally at restaurants and grocery stores. They happened to be one of many contestants in a pie contest on GMA recently which prompted me to look up their address. They are closer than I thought. As others have said, it's hidden. Thankfully I read the reviews stating that because it still took me a while to find it. I had also read that you need to call ahead if you want something specific, or during the holiday rush for pies. I went on a whim to see what they had available. They had many frozen pies, and I believe some were being held for pick up orders. She said there was one seasonal guava cheesecake left. At that point, I didn't even really care what other flavors they had. I think they had key lime, pecan, and others. It was guava that screamed the loudest to me. It was a very quick transaction after that. I was in and out in less than 5 minutes. I kept it in the car for a while because I had other errands to run. It defrosted enough were I could pull out a slice of it and pop the rest into the freezer (yep, it can be refrozen). These cheesecakes are already pre-sliced which is very convenient. Mind you, these are larger than any of the Mike's Pies sold at grocery stores. There are 12 big slices in this cheesecake. I couldn't wait for my slice to defrost. I went ahead and ate it partially frozen. It was the best cheesecake ever! The guava is not just on top of it. It's mixed inside the cheese cake. It had guava in every bite. It ended up being so creamy towards the end as it continued to defrost. Maybe because I took my sweet time savoring each bite. I so wish this flavor was on their regular local menu. I remember seeing it on the menu at Fat Willie's Fish Camp back in September but they ran out of it. I feel like this cheesecake was meant for me to find. I will get it again whenever it's back on the local menu. This cheesecake will have to last until then.
