On a Sunday evening, we took our three children here to dine in. We ordered appetizers and immediately put in our entree orders as well since we had kids. The appetizers appeared in a reasonable amount of time. After 10/15 minutes, my entree appeared. 15 minutes later, we inquired about the rest of the entrees and they told us it would be an additional 15 minutes! Thirty minutes between the first entree and the rest! We had to leave with our kids hungry and they forced us to pay for the appetizers. Zero apologies. We have ordered takeout from there before and dined in with two adults in the daytime. We will never, never be back. read more

Very sad, I love the food but service? There is none. Ordered some takeout on Mothers Day for a laid back meal. Didn't go according to plan. Arrived when the order was said to be ready to a complete state of panic, rudeness and incompetence by staff. After watching staff mock and berate other customers for about 1/2 hour while waiting for our food my order was tossed out on the " to go" table with little care who picked it up. I kinda had to fight through the others waiting to grab it before someone opened the bags and sifted through them. Everything looked to be there but got home and sure enough one of the appetizers was missing. Not the end of the world but hey if you're going to make me wait an extra 30 mins atleast get the order correct. Tried to call them for 2 days straight to have it removed from my bill. They don't answer their phone and let everything go to voice mail. Left messages but no one has bothered to return them yet. What a shame I really enjoyed their food. read more

This place is so good. I came with my gay best friend on Tuesday June, 15th and the service was impeccable! Krista and Leah were so kind!! (Yep, made sure to get their names!!B) Will be returning every week!! ‍‍‍ Happy Pride‍‍‍ read more

THAI Chilli Pepper - Lutz - so #gas!! - Thai Near Me - Lutz, Florida

I am a big fan of Thai cuisine. Unfortunately, Thai Chili Pepper does not capture that which is wonderful and delicious about the Thai culinary arts. I can't put my finger on it, but everything we ordered here was sub-par. From the Pad Thai which had a cardboard taste to the coconut soup which was boring. Maybe it was the bad Lutz water, or cheap ingredients. I can't say. I know one thing which was not cheap... the bill. read more

It is my favorite place to go for pad thai crispy duck. If you are looking for a good thai place where they serve crispy duck.

Been a customer from day ONE that they opened. This spot has been up and down and up and today down. Pad Thai was made with thin spaghetti. WhAT?!?? I'm done trying. Why wouldn't they just say hey, no pad Thai tonight, we ran out of noodles. Done and sad about it. read more

We really enjoyed this restaurant. a few times now. The waitstaff each time has been friendly, outgoing, and helpful. Food has been fantastic. We will be back alot more. read more

Arrived at 7:00 on a Saturday night. After an hour of waiting we'd only received our appetizer soup. Meanwhile, takeout orders were flying by our table. We ended up paying for our soup and drink and leaving after another table, who also hadn't received food, left. Terrible service!!!! read more

My first experience At THAI Chili Pepper and decided on last minute take out. I love panang curry with ToFu and vegetables. The dinner serving was 12.95 and the curry sauce was very good. I was disappointed in the very large slices of peppers and zucchini. The pieces of ToFu were also huge. It may be that I am used to nice diced size of vegetables and Tofu. It makes it more difficult to eat having to cut everything up. Just seemed that there could have been a few pea pods or other vegetables included. I Also had 4 small fried spring rolls, 4.95, and they did not have much filling. I asked for some peanut sauce and was informed it would be more, which was ok, just did not like the vibes. I will return for lunch to give it another try. read more

My husband and I decided to try this restaurant. We first ordered Spring rolls - came out hot and very delicious. I ordered the Red Curry Chicken mild to medium. It was very good and just the right amount of spice for me- I don't like it too spicy. My husband ordered Red Curry Seafood medium spice. He said his was delicious. Both came with jasmine rice. I had hot green tea and he had a Thai beer. Our server was very polite and attentive. I would definitely recommend this business. I'm picky and have allergies and it didn't bother me at all. read more

I came at lunch time for the pad thai and it was a good portion and good Thai. The rice was extra but that's the way it is. Quick and attentive service although for me the check was a little high but again thats the way it is. read more

New Thai restaurant in the Neighborhood offers delightful food. Last night we ordered the pumpkin curry with tofu mild also pad Thai and a few bowls of Tom Yum soup. These foods are very spicy they go from mild to Thai spicy super super hot ! Easy online ordering pay online. Pick up at the door .All the food was delicious well prepared generous portions. Everything was marked on the outside of each container so it was easy to find your dish since we had a crew of five. Price is right portions are great it's local food is well worth ordering and venturing out for a pick up. read more

I ordered: Pad Thai (chicken), Drunken noodles (veggie), Tom Yum soup, Red Curry and the Bangkok Wings (appetizer) - "hot" level spice - for take-out during Covid. It was EXTREMELY good. The flavor, the quantity/portions, the way the chicken was cooked, everything was really good. I haven't found a really good Thai place around here in a while, and this is newly open (March I believe). And they wrote "thank you :)" on every container which was a sweet touch. I do think the fact that I ordered before rush hour dinner time made a difference, but nonetheless I was very pleased with my food. I do recommend anyone in the area in the mood for Thai cuisine to check it out! read more

Why 4 stars? As always, I wait until my second visit for a review. The Chicken Pad Thai was really good and the spice level was great. Medium is spicy, so do not get crazy kids! The Chicken Satay was very good as well and the Thai lemon flavor was a hit. The kids liked the chicken fried rice and I stole a couple bites as well. Very tasty. The only downside was the dumplings. Little bland in the seasoning and lacked flavor. I could live off dumplings so may be a little snob :) Will be back! read more

Went there for lunch with a friend. Very friendly service and clean environment. We ordered the fried veggie spring rolls and two noodle dishes: chicken pad Thai and beef drunken noodles. The food was delicious! Sometimes there is not enough sauce on the noodles at other places but both of our noodle dishes had plenty of sauce. I will definitely be back! read more

Food was not good! We ordered takeout. Not restaurant quality, taste like something my twelve year old sister could make! Service was bad, our order was already done but they did not call us. We waited four forty minutes for our order! I had to call the restaurant again to verify it! The food was horrendous! The pad see ew barely had any meat, noodles were over cooked! It tasted like soy sauce with a bunch of sugar dumped onto it! Not tasty! The spicy Basil was slightly better as it was spicy but not flavorful! Authentic Thai food does not taste like this at all! I also got the eggplant lover's with beef which was not pictured; it was very soupy and bland. read more

Good tasty delicious and well presented food. Timely efficient and friendly service. Great ambiance and beautifully decorated restaurant The wait staff greeted us with a smile and the wait to be seated was not long read more

Food is good but frankly the service is terrible. The employee who took my order today was so rude. Just a complete jerk. I would never subject my family to such treatment again when there are so many options. No food is worth such rude service. read more

Wow. The food here is so amazing! Me and my mom went to sit down for dinner and ordered appetizers and meals. Even with the entire dining room full the food came out fresh and piping hot. The service workers were very kind as well. We will definitely be coming back. If you're looking for something to try the coconut soup is amazing so much flavor!! read more

We've been here dozens of times and the food is honestly fantastic. My too suggestion is that whatever you order, get it super saucey as sauce in Thai food tends to dry out and with this option here it'll keep that from happening so fast. Customer service has improved compared to times in the past few months, which is great to see. Prior to this we did have a couple experiences where they would provide a 20-30 minute wait for food and it ended up being 1 hour or even worse-- they forgot to put our order in after waiting for 1 hour. We tried them again recently and it seems those times are behind them and the service was great. read more

Grabbed lunch here today & was really pleasantly surprised by the quality. Wonton soup, pad tai & lemongrass chicken were all served piping hot, the vegetables were crisp & everything was delicious. I'll definitely be back. Can't believe I haven't been before. read more

Well we waited 2 months and must say it may have gotten worse. This is what happens when the owners open up too many places before getting existing restaurants established. First the smell is back. That may be why there were only 6 people in the restaurant for dinner, or maybe it was the very little, dry and flavorless dumplings. Maybe the extremely GREASY spicy fried rice, or the dirty table, and yet may the be very dirty spice tray, etc.etc. We also had a little disagreement with what seemed to be a very new waitress about the dumpling sauce not being plain, and very salty, soy sauce. I am not sure waiting another 2 months will help, it may just get worse. This went from our favorite Thai restaurant in N Tampa to a don't go. There are others that are better. Too bad. read more

Don't skip this little gem! Stopped in on a whim while shopping. Met with a surprising and refreshing polite and friendly hostess! Cute, plain decor, but very clean. Menu is full as you would typically find at a Thai restaurant. Food was AMAZING! Pad Thai, lettuce wraps and vegetables fried rice spot on. Spice was spot on! Give this one a try and guarantee you will be back! read more

I don't usually post a review, let's just say with my week work and weekend ( mom to toddler), I hardly find time to stay sane. I couldn't resist posting for this amazing gem. Here goes a quick review: Having been to Thailand, this is the most closest food to authentic Thai food that I have had by far in Tampa. The spices are freshly ground and you can taste that in their food, so much flavor! Even their regular fried rice has a ton of flavor unlike any other restaurants. We always get Thai Hot (spice level) food just because we absolutely love heat. But I would recommend any spice level- it would still taste amazing! Do me a favor and get your favorite Thai dish from this place. You will not regret it! To the owners- please keep the spice, recipes and every you still have the same as is! Do not change anything to cater to a majority crowd's palate. In a time when everybody is looking at food differently and wanting to try the real deal, there needn't be 'extra sugar' 'extra fish sauce' 'extra coconut milk' added to a Thai dish please!! Authentic is always the best way to go! read more

First of all the food is really delicious. I am giving this restaurant 2 stars because it is overpriced for the portions. i ordered two entrees one with chicken and one with shrimp costing approximately $15-$18, respectfully. Each entree bately had 3 oz of protein in the meal and The rest was all filler vegetables. I understand most of the Taiwanese dishes are vegetable heavy, but for that price there should be 4-6 oz of protein. Disappointed. read more

Amazing staff and specials!!! Shrimp pad Thai and pumpkin curry- absolutely amazing!!!! This restaurant is a hidden gem in a strip mall- just do it!!!! read more

I placed an order online and when I arrived, they didn't have it ready. That was over 1 hour late, and they didn't even apologize. Then they served a iced Thai tea in a soup container to add insult to injury. Someone else ordered their meal online, too, and somehow their was ready--wonder why they are inconsistent? Never coming here again. read more

The crab rangoons are seriously the best I've ever had. A little pricey for the entree size and you have to ask for the pad thai to be saucy otherwise it's kinda dry. Very good costumer service. read more

Really great food! The food took a while to come out but it was really flavorful and portions were good.

Tampa isn't exactly known for its Thai food, but this restaurant isn't crowded and is consistently good. My Thai wife says 5 stars!

Food is very good. Lots of flavor and large portion sizes. They are a little pricey but worth it!

We finally found our go to Thai restaurant after many less then stellar meals elsewhere. Curry is what we seek and theirs is layered with flavor! I was highly impressed that they offered a free meal on a future order when we had a take out error. This is our regular spot, you should make it yours. read more

This is becoming my new go-to spot for Thai cuisine. The staff are friendly and accommodating, and the food is always piping hot when it hits the table. Thus far I've tasted the panang and pumpkin curry dishes, and they were both incredible. I also really enjoyed the fried spring rolls. Support a new local business and check this place out! 9/10 would recommend. read more

The employees here are very kind and are willing to answer questions and modify items based on allergy requests. I am vegan and they were able to make many of their meals without egg and fish sauce. I was very happy ordering my to go meal here. read more
