My wife and I have eaten at Thai Pepper several times over a ten year period when we come to Ashland. The food has always been very flavorful and well presented. Last night was another opportunity and they did not let us down. I had one of their specials, grilled Indonesian Lamb chops with vegetables in a very tasty sauce with rice. Four lamb chops grilled medium rare. The meal was very good. Add a pint of Boneyard pale ale, outdoor seating a my beautiful bride and what more can a person ask for? My wife has the Pad Thai with shrimp and complimented her meal as well. Plenty of large shrimp, a lot of flavor and filling. We will continue to come here during our future trips. read more

When plans elsewhere fell through, I wanted to try them as a backup plan- ambience, as always, was cozy & vibrant. The waitstaff was prompt, well-versed in the menu as well as the specials & definitely got me hooked on their homemade ginger ale lol, which had a nice kick without being too potent- just what the doctor ordered. The coconut chicken soup was molten, but elegant & delicious! It was naturally super sweet with a little salt aftertaste & the mushrooms floating around with the big chunks of chicken were a pleasant surprise. I certainly wasn't expecting the random stalk of lemongrass lol but it was certainly a familiar flavor I enjoyed (for a well-earned $8). Then there was the satay sampler- which I got with the chicken in peanut sauce, the tofu in sweet soy, & the vegetable medley also in peanut sauce (for $10). The chicken was seasoned well, perfectly cooked, as well as the vegetables. The peanut sauce was nice & spicy- & I loved the extra peanut crunch! The tofu had a nice crisp sear without getting too charred- & the sweet soy sauce was almost syrupy on top. I appreciated how everything came with a little cucumber salad & mound of rice. And to finish it all off, I also got their lime ice cream ^_^ It was a wonderful palette cleanser that helped soothe the tongue after the peanut sauce's heat! Only thing not so nice about it was finding the $8 tag after I had placed the order... Ah well, overall, it was a great experience, bringing the grand total- plus tax & tip, to a little over $36- not a great price, but well worth it! read more

Had a few great meals there recently. We planned my daughter's graduation dinner by the creek, had great service and lovely atmosphere on a HOT busy night. It's a little over priced and that kept me from 5 stars, and will keep it from being super regular spot for us. The full bar is nice, we went with people who like to drink cocktails and having choices beyond beer and wine were great. read more

if you enjoy thai food you won't like this place. you would think that with all the liberties they've taken with authenticity the food quality would be something they'd mastered, but that is not the case. even the simplest of their dishes lack the balance of flavor and textures that make thai food wonderful -- or even thai fusion for that matter. adding insult to injury, it's grossly overpriced. ashland deserves better. read more

Ordered carry out after a long hiatus from Ashland... everything was as perfect as ever. Love the crispy fish and the yellow curry was on point! read more

Service was good. Creek side seating was nice. Food was mediocre at best. The Pad Thai was just not edible. Curry beef had very little beef. Spring rolls were uninspired. read more

The food is just okay. The two stars is mostly because it is way way way overpriced. Portions are tiny and I can give examples. For two thumb sized spring rolls cut in half they charge 11-12 dollars. $9 for less than half of a cup of wine (small glass). We won't go back as there are way better Thai places in the valley! read more

Not typical "thai" food, and a little pricey, but the food is good and the creekside dining is beautiful. There are discounted appetizers during cocktail hour if you eat at the bar. The upstairs bar will be expanded soon, I'm looking forward to seeing the renovations. read more

I ordered seafood curry, husband ordered the lamb chops (both were specials that night) sister ordered shrimp pad Thai .The lamb was the best. A little skimpy on the seafood that was in the curry and the curry was a little watery.The pad Thai was good, but a funny thing was, I don't know how many times I heard the staff say their pad Thai is different from any other place because they don't put ketchup in it. Huh? Who in the world would ever put ketchup on pad Thai? I also ordered the Thai steak salad as an app for myself but they brought 2 big spoons so I had to end up sharing it . I asked the waitress if it would be on field greens and she looked at me like I was speaking Swahili and did not know what field greens were . Nice location on the creek and you can bring your pup if you are on the upper deck. read more

If you sit outside downstairs, cocktails come from a far away mysterious upstairs cavern. Which yes, translates to =wait FOREVER~~. Not our servers problem- she's lovely. But wow! Come on! read more

We LOVE this place!! We have been coming here for almost thirty years and it has never disappointed. During the year we come for cocktails and appetizers in the recently remodeled bar. Tiger rolls may not be the most authentic Thai dish, but certainly the best thing I've ever tasted. In the summer we have lunch for large family groups on the beautiful outdoor patio. Thai Pepper is the main reason I come to Ashland! read more

Better quality Thai food and in a fancier space than I'm normally used to. Nice creek views as well.

Came here last week with my sister and had a Lemon Drop which was good, Tom Kha Gai Coconut Chicken Soup, and Tiger Rolls. The soup was very creamy and delicious. The Tiger Rolls were also yummy with the Sweet Chili Sauce. read more

Walked by this place a few times and was enticed by their patio over the Ashland river! They were very helpful with reservations over the phone even when we were running late due to traffic. Our party tried the Yellow Country Curry, Green Coconut Curry with mint, seafood curry and the chicken skewers with peanut sauce. Flavor was good but not too spicy! Green coconut curry was the favorite by far! Overall, ambience is amazing, service was great, and food was yummy. Definitely on the pricey side because serving sizes aren't huge- maybe you're paying for the relaxing view and patio seating? read more

We showed up about an hour and a half before our 8pm play and were told that there was no more seating available in the downstairs dining room. We chose to eat in the bar, but we had to put in our order right away in order to guarantee that we could be out in time for the play. It was nice that the staff gave us that warning, but it seemed pretty unreasonable that the food should take that long. We had the pineapple and shrimp fried rice and the chicken in roasted red curry. As they predicted, the food took quite a long time to arrive, and it wasn't as good as I thought it would be. The chicken dish was the better of the two -- the peanuts give it a nice flavor, and it isn't a standard dish that you can find in any Thai restaurant. The fried rice was just ordinary, and for $17, I expect more. If they could bring the dishes out faster and lower prices by about $5 per dish, I would change my rating to 4 stars. But as it is, QPR isn't great, and that makes the whole experience just okay. read more

Great location, with creekside patio. Beautiful ambiance. Calamari had a lot of breading, and I found the sweet and sour sauce with it too spicy (but was tasty). Had the fish special, serviced with green beans, peppers, and a sauce with coconut milk in it... Very good!! Thai iced tea was excellent. We arrived at opening time on a Monday at 5 pm, and the place was empty. The patio outside was almost filled by the time we left. Popular spot, even on a Monday night. Close to a five star rating, but the menu selection was a bit weaker than other Thai places I've been to... And didn't love the calamari. Overall, we were happy with our meal, and LOVED the ambiance of the outdoor patio :) read more

Thai Pepper - Great Thai! - Thai Near Me - Ashland, Oregon

This place has been in Ashland forever, and is considered a local fav. The last time I was there I got the rack of lamb and chocolate cake for dessert. Take a look. It was an exquisite as it looks. Right in the heart of downtown, so if you're visiting and in the mood for Thai, don't skip this place. read more

Came here based on a recommendation from a friend. The food was OK, but nothing too exciting. I ordered the spicy lemongrass soup with shrimp and while the shrimp were cooked nicely, it did not have much flavor and certainly had no spice. The short ribs were very thin cut, flavorful, but a little over cooked (so tough) and the portion was small for the price. My friend was equally underwhelmed by her satay dish which was again not that flavorful and over sauced. Dog owners should note that the main patio seating is no longer dog friendly. Just the two tables on the street. There are lots of amazing restaurants in Ashland, I will seek out other venues in the future. read more

Courtesy of staff gets 5 stars, speed and quality of bar service gets 5 stars, speed of food service gets 1 star, quality of food gets 4 stars. Focusing on the last of these: I ordered the very original variation on pad Thai, which here features a very spicy and unique sauce (the sauce is rated from 1-4, and level 1 is quite fiery already!!), and ground chicken breast. The sauce and preparation left the dish somewhat overly salty, but otherwise very tasty, and the noodle selection was very tasty. An ample variety of ingredients, and accompanied by white jasmine rice, made this a solid 3.5. The meal was then elevated by a delicious flourless chocolate torte, which was delicious. Seating is elegantly casual, though I opted to take my meal home, and was surprised that I had to wait more than half an hour for the food. read more

We LOVE this place. The staff is friendly, the service is always on point and the drinks are so yummy! (Especially when Zach is behind the bar!) The Spicy Lemongrass soup is my favorite but we always love the Yellow Curry and the Thai Fried rice as well. I have been here A LOT and never had a bad experience. Lots of vegetarian options and they are always happy to accommodate what I want. A must try! read more

My Goodness! We dined there on July 13th 2018 .Was there a Thai cook there? I think not ! Over-priced.One of the entrees barely would feed one.The other a noddle dish fried in oil, in fact we sent it back! Should have been a clue that it was the chefs night off! Worst meal ever. The pork dish was chicken and dry as a bone. The duck appetizer was terrible and quoted as being one of their specialties!!!More bone that meat. If you are in Ashland looking for a place to have dinner...anywhere else would be a good choice.... read more

Wow, we are here last night at the bar and Zach our excellent mixologist took special care of us. The food is amazing! The sirachhi lime wings were so moist with the perfect amount of heat. The drunken noodles with chicken and shrimp were fabulous lots of chicken and oh so yummy. The place was packed with lots of local diners. Always a good sign. We will be back! Thanks for a memorable night of great food! read more

I just went there with a party of 12 and they told me "No". Not even offered a waitlist. Rude. Hmm. Instead we went down the road to Umami, who accommodated us without a problem. read more

This place is delicious. I love the ambiance and the food. Service is amazing. read more

Thai Pepper is without a doubt my favorite restaurant in Ashland. Always recommend it to everyone. Best Thai food in the southern Oregon and always a wonderful atmosphere with amazing staff. Drinks are top notch. I've never had a bad meal here, consistently exceptional. read more

I had the cashew vegetables. They were barely cooked and I had to send them back - something I hardly ever do. My wife had the Pad Thai. Very average at best. Not much egg and all in all pretty uninspired. The waitress was pleasant and helpful, which is why I gave the place two stars instead of one, but after all the food is what you go to a restaurant for. For the prices they charge, we expected more - quite a bit more. read more

So so the slowest service I've ever seen why go here when you can go to Anya's so much better food and Todd treat s you great. It's been 43 minutes awaiting 2sayays. Fd up then they said it was at the window still had to wait. Never again. read more

We got lucky and came during happy hour (5-6pm everyday) otherwise it would have been pretty pricey. Your average curry dish is about 18$ but during happy hour they have panang curry for 9$. We also tried the curry wontons, which were ok, and the truffle fries. read more

Pricey for what you get. Many entrees don't include either rice or noodles. Ordered side of thin rice noodles--somewhat watery with zero seasoning. And $7! Crispsy fish was so-so though it had a nice and spicy sauce. Sauce with prawns and mushrooms was very tasty. If you want Happy Hour menu (5-6) you have to eat upstairs. read more

The location--outdoor dining on the creek--is the best aspect. That said, our food was excellent. We had halibut cheeks and other items that were wonderfully spiced. Not huge portions, which can be helpful. The curries looked very good and came with rice. Professional wait staff. read more

It was the late night menu. I had paid thai and my son had drunken noodles. His noodles tasted burned. My pad thai was just the noodles and tofu....how do you call that pad thai??????? How do you call yourself a thai restaurant.... read more

Not an ordinary Thai restaurant, but a very interesting menu, well-prepared food, and - unlike some of the other reviews - excellent service. We are Thai foodies and will be back regularly. read more

I'd say this is a solid "3 star". The food was good. Atmosphere very nice as well as the staff. It was apparent they need more in the way of staffing though. My drink order was overlooked and the entree my daughter chose from the menu was not available. However, they did attempt to make things right by comping us our appetizer. read more

The drink: so so, not the best gin and tonic in Ashland for sure. The food: chicken curry wontons were dry and lackluster. Chicken satay had good flavor but is madly overpriced. But the service... Upon entering I was rudley asked if the girl could help me in a tone and facial expression implying that I was obviously lost. After being seated, I waited ten minutes before being greeted and then, seriously, fifteen minutes before receiving my drink. Overall: I don't think I'll be returning. read more

Great Happy Hour prices on delicious appetizers and drinks. Full dinner fare as well as bar food bites, all Thai food. Great atmosphere, good food, good drinks! read more

Thai Pepper - The bar - Thai Near Me - Ashland, Oregon

Had yellow curry and stir fried vegetables Vegetarian friendly options Food smelled great and both the dishes were delicious. good ambience,friendly staff Will come again here for sure! read more

Thai Pepper is a bizarre example of Asian Fusion catering to white people gone wrong. I was not expecting bland Phad Thai made with spaghetti noodles. I was not expecting an entire battalion of water girls, yet extremely slow service from the wait staff. It's unreasonable to expect Seattle/ Portland / southern CA quality Thai in the valley, but neither I nor my meal partner were sure what the management and/or chef had cooked up. Would not recommend, would not have gone back but for a get together in the bar area a few years later. Thai Pepper, across the street from Shakespeare, is designed for tourists, happy to take their money once, never to return, while offering nothing for the culinary / dining scene in the valley. Erwan, Vim Thai, and Thai Garden in CP are far better Thai restaurants in the valley. 0 stars for the food, 2 stars for the bar. read more

This place is always a favorite of mine when I'm in Ashland! I've eaten lots of the entrées and appetizers and every one of them have been excellent. I do have to add I am in love with their signature 'Thai Pepper' drink! Spicy but refreshing. read more

Always a great meal. The wait staff and cooks are very willing to make anything vegan friendly. Had a great curry tofu and my wife loved the wine and tiger rolls. read more

Who wants to play "how many tiger rolls can fit down my throat?" Cause I want to play that every night. So good. Pad Thai is not traditional and therefore not the best. Only downfall. read more
