    Interior
    Charlie G.

    Stopped for lunch and was blown away! Service... BOOM, on target, and perfect! (Brian rocked it!) Ordered Thai Iced Tea on servers recommendation, it was ok... not great. Ordered the Honey Lemongrass Chef Specialty, and it was beautiful to look at and delicious to eat, although a bit on the sweet side. I asked for medium hot, since hot varies so much from one place to the next... and that was nice, but not hot enough. So Brian brought out the hot sauce selection. #1 Powdered Chili, plenty hot! #2 Sriracha... decent. #3 Nam Prik Pao... Oh Yeah! #4 Spicy Fish sauce.. Ok! I loaded up on #3, and the saltiness of that helped to calm down the sweetness of the sauce, and made all the flavors work in harmony. It was delicious! All the veggies were delicious... made this a somewhat healthy meal! ;) Rice was good, nothing special. Fascinating wall art... lovely stuff. I would hang in my house if I could find it. Nice clean interior, plenty of seating. I was the first one there, and the doors were actually open before their official open time. Would I go back... ABSOLUTELY!

    House fried rice with shrimp
    Jessica A.

    This was excellent! The food was as fresh as it comes and the service and staff were so super friendly : ) We had the wings, spring rolls, dumplings, wonton soup, Tom yum soup and house fried rice. The fried rice was the best I've ever had! Will most definitely be back!

    They changed their menu since the last time we were here. Came in and seated immediately. Got our drinks and ordered our entrees. I got the garlic and black pepper chicken which is not my usual but thought I'd give a try. Ugh I should've stuck with my typical Ginger chicken. This was so bland and lacked any flavor. The chicken, I felt wasn't as big and plentiful as before either. This is still one of our fav Thai places so hopefully it was just a fluke / off day.

    Spicy (Thai Level Spicy) with Duck
    Connie A.

    Our go to place for Spicy Duck Pad Thai. It's pricey ($27.50) but the portion is good for 2 people. The duck was boneless and crispy! Perfectly cooked.

    Typo, or spelling by design?
    Joel S.

    Thai "Chilli" Pepper is a restaurant in search of a spell check. Don't know if their name is a typo or on purpose, but props to them for going for it. The space is very basic, without any particular Thai signifiers. The staff are nice. The service is loose. The food is good. We sampled chicken satay, papaya salad, yum salad and fresh rolls to start. They were all good- saucy to a fault. The entrees were all good too- we tried the pad Thai, drunken noodles, pork stir fry with chili and basil and the pad se-ew. The prices are reasonable. Nice place to dip in to Thai food at a moderate price. Add a star if you don't have access to Thai food in a big city.

    Mild Pad See Ew with chicken!
    Rachel K.

    I just ordered tonight and I'm still eating my food right now, but I just had to pop in here and say this is SO GOOD. I got the pad see ew and the noodles are so flavorful even at the mild level. Also tried a bite of the pineapple fried rice (tomorrow's lunch), and I literally had to take a knee it was so tasty. Super efficient (said 30 min but had my stuff to me in 15!) and friendly staff! They also taped my drink to my bag which I super appreciate bc I've had many a doordasher leave my drink behind before Thanks so much y'all! This was 100% worth it!

    Browning iceberg lettuce wedge = Lettuce Wrap ingredients

    I've ordered take out from here regularly since it opened. The flavor of every dish has always been good, although the curries are on the watery side. However, I'm not at all happy with my recent order of the Thai Lettuce Wraps because I received the filler (fine) and a browning and yellow wedge of iceberg lettuce. This is bad customer service. I'm fine with a phone call and someone letting me know that they are out of a crucial ingredient and would I like a different appetizer, but, no, what I got was insulting.

    The Restaurant
    Andy B.

    My family have been eating and enjoying this restaurant for 3+ years now. Tonight has changed this forever. I have never been treated so disrespectful in all my 51 years. Here is what happened: 1) 10mins on hold to place my to go order 2) Was told it'll be ready in 15mins and I waited 30mins. (I wasn't even upset) 3) I drove home and the Panang Sauce had leaked out all over the rest of the order 4) The Medium spice (which we've had before) was too spicy to even eat. So, I drive back to the restaurant to ask if they can re-make the dish. 5) the host said: THE CHEF SAID THAT WAS MEDIUM AND HE WILL NOT REMAKE IT AND NO REFUND! This was the most unprofessional thing I have ever experienced and I work in hospitality. I was so disappointed because we are extremely loyal to our restaurants. I hope you will reconsider going here in protest. Can someone please recommend another Thai Restaurant for us near Lutz.

    Pumpkin curry
    Rachel M.

    We finally tried the food here. I've been wanting to go to the Brandon location for some time because I was hoping it was the same chef that use to be at Arroy Thai in Wesley Chapel. The menu is the same as there and the Thai Chili Pepper in Brandon. This is a nice restaurant set up with very good social distancing and masking here. I wish they also utilized their outside space and had tables out there as well. I ordered the pumpkin curry and my husband had the pad Thai. We were both pretty happy with our meals, but I didn't remember the pumpkin curry so watery as this was. I like it thicker. Our server was great and helpful. The background music strangely enough I need to comment, but it was pretty sleepy. I feel like going out to eat is like an experience all around. I think I'd feel bad about the people working there hearing that music all day. I'd fall asleep even standing up. I think it should be a little bit more upbeat rather than sleepy and depressing, but that's just me.

    This was not our first choice but the other place did not open till way too late. However this did not disappoint AT ALL. We went about an hour before closing. The only people coming in were pick up orders, door dash and Uber eats. Anyway we sat down as instructed by our fantabulos waiter. Think her name was Mary maybe Marie Hubby and I realized she looked like the lady on Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. We showed her pics and she was ecstatic. Ok not only was she so lively and excited she was working those orders coming in and just genuinely pleasant. Ok the real meat and potatoes or should I say savory thai cuisine. I had the Lemongrass honey chicken and hubby had the chili duckling, sorry no pics. We had the most amazing Bangkok wings for our appetizer. Everything was delicious. The Thai tea needed some assistance but the food was pleasantly and surprisingly delicious. We will be back without a doubt. This was a random date night for hubby and I as well

    Garlic pepper shrimp
    Boon C.

    I would said their food is more to sweet side. This is their second stores in Tampa. Their original store is near Riverview. I have visited that store in Riverview. I think this store is better. There was no one eat in during the lunch time. But when we are leaving there is a couple walk in. My wife have the spicy drunken noodle with tone down heat. She have the chicken drunken noodle. The noodle is still wet. Not dry enough. But they do have a lot of quantity. Enough chicken meat. I have the garlic pepper shrimp. This dish is $15 with 8 big shrimps. Shrimp size is great. They do come with Thai hot like I ask. Burning spicy. I would said their technique is in good categories not in great categories. I still like it. It is great to go with rice. Service is great. I would recommend the server wear mask.

Also on the Uber Eats, you can specify heat level, which on another of our usual Thai places, you can't. We ordered Crab Rangoon, Fried Tofu, Pad Thai combo meat medium heat and Panang curry tofu medium heat. The Crab rangoon was very good. Heavy on the scallion flavor and I liked the sauce a lot. The fried tofu had lost it's crispness due to travel time, but a quick refresh in the air fryer and it was great. I didn't care for the flavor of my husbands pad thai. It was not very peanutty and was missing a few layers of flavor. The Panang curry was watery and I didn't taste ANY peanut flavor. It was weak and made me sad. The tofu in it was generous and the brown rice was cooked perfectly. So, some hits, some misses. Still on the hunt for the right place I guess.

Our first visit was great -- we spent around $120, and he said the sushi was some of the best he's had in a long time. He liked it so much that a couple nights later, before he left town, he wanted it again. We even waited about 45 minutes in the parking lot for them to open (they open at 4:30 on certain weekdays) because he was craving the Spicy Conch roll that badly. For our second order, we got two Spicy Conch hand rolls, a spicy tuna roll, and a Lollipop roll. We live about 20 minutes away, and because our first experience was perfect, we didn't think to check the bag before driving home. When we got home, all of the hand rolls were spicy tuna -- none were the Spicy Conch rolls my dad specifically wanted. The receipts on the bag clearly showed the correct items, so I'm not sure how it left the kitchen wrong. Since my dad was leaving town and this was the one thing he really wanted, I called the restaurant. They offered to replace the two Spicy Conch hand rolls, which I appreciated. I originally said I'd pick them up another time, but I decided to make the 20‑minute drive back so he could enjoy them before he left. When I called to place the replacement order, I also added a Deep Sea roll -- his favorite from our first visit. What disappointed me was that when I arrived, they charged me for the Deep Sea roll. I'm not someone who expects free food, but considering the mistake, the clearly printed receipts, and the fact that I had to make a 40‑minute round trip twice, covering a $14 roll would've been a simple, classy gesture. Especially since they usually read totals over the phone, and this time they didn't -- which made me think they were taking care of it. I did hear the sushi chef say "tell them I'm sorry," which I genuinely appreciated. The food itself is very good, and that's why we went back. But based on this experience, if you're ordering takeout, definitely check your bag before leaving. The quality is there, but the way the mistake was handled didn't match the level of the food.
