Ordered take out and I got the pad see yew. I was worried since it was a little pricey, but the portions are large and the food was exactly what I was looking for. The noodles and beef were savory and delicious. I ordered the hot spicy level and it had a very nice spice to it, perfect for me, too much for my fiancée who likes mild spice, but that's what we were hoping for! I was only able to eat a little less than half of the portion, so definitely worth the price! read more

Thai Pepper Bloomington - Pad See Yew - Thai Near Me - Bloomington, Minnesota

We are in town to visit family and friends, staying at a hotel, longing for Thai food. We were thrilled with the food we ordered! Basil Fried Rice with BEAUTIFULLY prepared shrimp. So flavorful, great texture on the rice. We ordered mild spice, which a little much for me but my husband was well pleased. To complement the rice, we enjoyed Wrapped PRAWNS! The menu called them shrimp but they were lovely, tender prawns. A delicate pastry wrap, fried to a perfect crispness. The sweet chile sauce was nice. We also enjoyed the Pork Egg Rolls. Three just-the-proper sized rolls jam packed with pork, cabbage and some rice. As we had the food delivered, we cannot comment on the interior or necessarily the service. However, we hope to enjoy a dine-in experience one day. Well worth the cost. read more

This was my first time ordering stir fry chicken and rice. To KT surprise it was good even it has a bit salt in it. Next time I'll ask to not add salt into it. I would order from them again. read more

The food was delicious and the service was exceptional. Our waiter even brought me a dessert dish for my birthday which he created himself.

Decided to take a chance and try Thai Pepper for some Sunday night Thai takeout and it was amazing! We got the fresh spring rolls which were filled with fresh, flavorful vegetables and came with a homemade sauce. I also got the shrimp pad Thai and my fiance for the Pad See Yew with beef. Both dishes were fresh and full of flavor. Portion sizes were also great! Have enough do leftovers for another meal or two. Highly recommend. read more

I was expecting a doorbell ring, but instead discovered food had been discovered 41 minutes after delivery. Please ring doorbell.

We ordered takeout here recently because my partner was craving Thai, and we weren't disappointed! PAD THAI: 4/5 Delicious with flavor but not too sweet like some places do! Could have used more fresh elements, but great chicken and egg with noodles. Could have used more heat. RED CURRY: 4/5 The curry flavor is spot on! Again would love more veggies but the chicken was perfectly prepared and I could drink the sauce. Medium spice was perfect for this! CREAM CHEESE ROLLS: 3/5 These were sadly undercooked, but how can you go wrong with cream cheese filling? Liked the egg roll version. SERVICE: 5/5 Quick service - our food was ready even faster than expected! We did takeout so no experience with ambiance onsite but nice seating options inside. read more

Been looking for new restaurants to try every time I'm in town. Of course it's very difficult to not dine at the restaurants I already have an attachment to. So if opportunity allows I'll have to both. So I was delayed to try this restaurant by a couple of days but I'm so glad I was able to here and I order some take out so I can take back to my hotel. I'm a fan of the pineapple fried rice so I had to try their version. I paired it with shrimp and they use large shrimps, cashews,onions,diced carrots,pineapple and yellow curry. I requested some heat and I figured medium pice would be enough And I also order the Pad Thai with shrimp as well, same heat level. I have to say this is 1 of the best meals I've had in quite some time. The Pad Thai had the large shrimps ant the rice noodles were a little thicker and wider than the noodles I've been accustomed to. I really liked this version, the noodles had the aldente texture and I was worried the noodles would be mushy but the time I got back to the hotel. Both the pad Thai and the fried rice was insanely delicious. I must've struck gold and the heat was perfect. Will be back on my next trip. Thank you Thai Pepper! read more

The food here is soooo good. I only wish it could be served somewhere else. The restaurant is dated and poorly maintained. Carpet dirty, tables scuffed etc. however the food again was marvelous. I ordered pad Thai and Thom Ka soup. Both were the best. Service was perfect and quick. read more

Menu covers all tastes and the entrees are wonderfully delicious. Our go tos are Panang & green curries, Pad Thai and Pad Kee Mao. Soups and cream cheese puffs are great too. read more

This place is a favorite of my friend's. It's tucked in a little strip mall just off 169, so you could miss it if you weren't looking for it. I ordered the Tom Kha, a yummy coconut-based soup. It was very tasty and filled with generous amounts of galangal, lemongrass, and lime leaves. (Truly, this was the most generous use of the aromatics I think I've ever encountered in this soup.) The tofu in the soup was fried to perfection, too. We appreciated the good service. In addition to being prompt and personable, waiter was knowledgeable about the items on the menu and was able to make a suggestion that would be suitable for my dietary restrictions, which brings me to an important point: be sure to mention any dietary restrictions to your server; it's not always clear from the menu whether a dish has gluten, seafood, etc. Vegetarians, vegans, and those with seafood allergies have limited options, but the options available are fresh and tasty! read more

I appreciate TPB. I haven't dined in but usually opt for take out. From what I hav encountered - the staff is nice enough and they are usually fairly prompt. Try the cream cheese roll things. Local tip: Get one of the noodle dishes as a take out, go next door and get your favorite canned beer (or wine), and enjoy shoveling your face at home without worrying about judgement from what your wearing #stretchypants or driving!! My little complaints are sometimes the noodles ARE super oily. Ick. ... and sometimes the spring rolls are dry (like they have been in the fridge pre-made for a bit of time). I know can't be on point every single time. For the most part, TPB seems like a decent gamble in the neighborhood for a solid dish. read more

100% do not recommend! Food was salty, vegetables were raw, chicken was dry. Also the mango juice was watered down. If I am spending $3 for juice, I would expect for it to not be 80% water. My mom ordered hot tea, and the cup was dirty. (Not stained, but actually dirty. Definitely was a waste of money. read more

Food here was pretty decent but did lack robust flavor but was ok. Thai tea was really good. I did have a concern for that amount of Flys by the front door and wondered how any made their way to the back! read more

Cousins took me here on a hailing spring night. Place was empty when we came in. People were probably home due to bad weather. Place is cozy in side. Got the Thai iced tea to start. You know it's legit when they have the cream on top. I think it's coconut cream? It's one of the better Thai iced teas I've ever had. Maybe 1 or 2 max other places that was better than this place. Definitely get your own! 5/5. Just like most Thai restaurants, most entrees will come plain and you will need to add in meat. However, the price to add a protein here is much more reasonable than a lot of other Thai places I've been to. The portion I think is reasonable. Panang curry with chicken - I think chicken is best with this dish so I always get it. Very flavorful and rich. Comes with a small bowl of white rice. 5/5 Pad see yew with beef - also one of my favorite noodle dish. Also good and flavorful. Wish they had added more veggies. Would have been a big plus 4/5 Pineapple fried rice - I would say prob my least favorite entree tonight. It looks yummy and taste good as well but not the best I've had. Next time I will definitely have to try their basil fried rice which is my favorite. 4/5 They don't have condiments on the table so ask for some. I love chili oil with my food because I like it spicy. Service was great and fast but we were the only one there lol. There were 2 people working out front. I actually really enjoyed this place and will definitely be bad for those Thai craving nights. read more

I did take out. I ordered over the phone because i wanted to know about the special spring rolls sauce. I also ordered chix pad thai. I probably wont come back, the spring roll only had one shrimp cut in half and one small piece of chicken. It was all lettuce which had dark spots on it..yuk and the rice wrapper was broken. Not enough sauce. Ordering take out is risky now a days. Once you get home you discover the food is crap. The pad thai was too dry. read more

Papaya salad was is the thai style , and was great! Has a variety of veggies in it! Pork belly could be cooked better. Very hard to chew most pieces and could be crispier. read more

We are so fortunate to have this spot in our neighborhood! We have eaten most items on the menu and have never been disappointed.

We have lived in Bloomington for the past 14 years but never tried this. We now have and will not try it again. We got the veg spring rolls which was basically lettuce with a little carrot. The red curry with chicken was boiled chicken topped with peanut butter. The basil stir fry has very little beef and even less basil. The drunken noodles were the only redeeming dish. You get the picture. Why eat here when you can eat anywhere. There is a McDonald's across the street if you really need to eat at that instant read more

Food tastes really good! Reasonable price too! Every dish comes with the rice! Curry will be my dinner:-) read more

Loved everything about it, except they use MSG. and the price was a little high. First visit and we will be back in spite of the negatives.

Absolutely fantastic hole-in-the-wall local, family-owned business. The pad thai does NOT disappoint. I especially love that I can eat it all and it doesn't leave me feeling greasy or filled with "fried" food. It is both light and delicious! read more

Good Thai in Bloomington. Quality portions with decent taste. I needed go had some hot peppers to get the spice level I wanted yet I understand not over spicing because the Minnesota pallet is a bit soft. The location is in a stripe mall and the parking is great if you are stopping by for take out but on a busy night, parking options will run out quickly. read more

Delish! Very tasty, good prices and great service! I would come back again! The egg rolls were super crispy and the Pad Thai was yummy with the right amount of heat (medium). read more

Thai Pepper Bloomington - Pad Thai with side of egg rolls - Thai Near Me - Bloomington, Minnesota

Drawn to the Thai Pepper based on the reviews. Love this cuisine and always on the lookout for a special place. Arrived for an early (5 pm) dinner on a Friday evening. My wife and I were the only customers seated in their dining room. And we were the only ones there when we left a half hour later. That should have telegraphed something about this establishment's popularity. And we only saw three people come in for carry out. The dining area is nicely decorated and well furnished. But it was so cold I had to leave my coat on. I had the Thai broccoli stir fry with pork belly. The broccoli was warm, but nearly raw. The pork belly was unremarkable -- chewy and lacking flavor. My wife had a vegetable curry dish which she enjoyed. Still, with so many other Thai offerings in the metro area, we won't be back. read more

Service was more than great. I shared spring rolls and egg rolls with my mother, and got sweet and sour stir fry with chicken. For a drink I got Thai milk tea, which was some of the best I've ever had. I would definitely come again! By the way, the spring rolls are not on the physical menu, so don't be afraid to ask for them. read more

I am so happy that Thai Pepper came to Bloomington! I ha now been there a few times and have had takeout on several occasions. The food has consistently been excellent. The ingredients are always fresh. The entree's have always been delicious. It's not very large or pretentious but worth the visit. read more

I am so happy that Thai Pepper is in my neighborhood. I've only dined in once, but I've gotten take out many times and it's always fresh and on time. We always get an order of the cream cheese rolls to start & for the main dish I rotate between pad kee mao, pad see yew, and prik pao fried rice. Medium heat is tolerable for someone like me who likes a little bit of spice without it being overpowering. They also get bonus points for serving takeout in reusable, microwaveable plastic containers! I can't recommend Thai Pepper enough! read more

The food for myself and friend was not tasty or attractive. We will not go back again. The surroundings were needing attention - the women's restroom lights we're not turned on, and it was a safety concern for me read more

I've eaten here before and it was equally terrible. The curry was dry peanut butter dripped (not mixed) over raw cut up vegetables.

Great hole in the wall place. Complex layers of flavors in an otherwise unexpected looking meal. If flavors are important while looks and ambiance are not, then this is your place read more

The food is fresh delicious. It's a cute place but I do takeout more. Cream cheese are delicious! Definitely worth the price.

I love thai food and was excited to have a night to myself and order in thai food. I live in West Bloomington and was hoping it was good! I got the pork egg rolls which were very good!! Thus my 2 stars!! I ordered the pad Thai noodles with chicken, It came with a lot of chicken but that's the only positive thing I can say. It was flavorless not one thing resembling pad Thai. I thought it could not be worse until I tasted the pineapple fried rice with chicken. It tasted and smelled like sweaty armpits! My whole Super Bowl night was ruined!! read more

we decide to try a new place and ventures to Thai Pepper tonite. It was quiet for a Saturday night with lots of open tables. Looks like they do a lot of take out here. The staff was very attentive and kind. We tried the tempura veggies with. a flavorful sweet sour sauce. They served a very large portion of amazingly delicious veggies with the thinnest layer of delectable batter! For entrees we tried the peanut curry with beef and the pineapple curry with chicken. Both were delicious! I have a low tolerance for heat and survived the mild curry with only a few tears. It was deliciously flavorful and I wish my Midwest-raised mouth could handle the heat better. But my wife got a good laugh watching me power thru it! would definately come back again but next time will order something with less spice. read more

Thai Pepper Bloomington - fun decor - Thai Near Me - Bloomington, Minnesota

I want small businesses to succeed, so feel bad writing a poor review. Yet, we are paying a lot to eat out these days and this place did not deliver. I did a takeout order and picked my meal up within minutes of the determined time. The veggies and chicken were not cooked in the curry sauce. It's like veggies (steamed but nearly raw) were put in, then chicken on top, and then the curry (very thick) was slopped over the veggies and chicken. I've honestly never received a meal like this from a Thai restaurant--the food is always cooked in the sauce. Super disappointing. read more

Just got our orders to go! Food was definitely worth the drive! Tasty and two thumbs up!

I had the chicken pad Thai, and it was super good and they serve a very generous portion of it! I'll definitely be returning to this restaurant. read more
