My husband and I tried Thai Pepper Restaurant today, and we were so impressed. From the moment we walked in, everyone was friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The owner Mrs. Nus greeted us and was so kind and personable. The portions were generous, and the mango sweet rice dessert was AMAZING!!! It's not often you find a place that gets both the food and the service just right. We're always excited to discover local restaurants that are this good, and Thai Pepper has definitely earned a spot on our favorites list. We'll absolutely be back and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious Thai food in Lubbock Texas. Thank you sister Nus. Your Vietnamese friend.

First and foremost, I really LOVE this place. It's a Lubbock staple. The food is GREAT and the people are kind. Here's the problem: They absolutely CANNOT answer their phone. They have a huge problem with taking & fulfilling pickup orders via phone and it doesn't seem like they are taking steps to improve this. You will literally call 10-12 times back to back and not get an answer. This is a HUGE oversight for a business with limited seating inside. TP, respectfully, you guys are losing SO much business because of this. read more

Pretty disappointing. The restaurant posted on Facebook that they would be OPEN on Memorial Day, so we made the drive over there only to find a handwritten note taped to the door saying they 'closed early.' No update online, no warning, nothing. There were also 3-4 other vehicles outside, so clearly we weren't the only people who drove out there based on the information the restaurant posted. A paper sign saying 'sorry for the inconvenience' doesn't make up for customers wasting their trip. Thankfully, Bangkok Thai Restaurant on 34th was actually open and ended up getting our business instead. Better communication would go a long way. read more

Love this hole in the wall Thai restaurant! The service was super fast and friendly. Pad kee mao: Very generous portion and the tofu was fried to perfection. Loved the veggie/tofu/noodle ratio. I wished they had used the bigger flat noodles, but overall great. (Ordered the hot spice level and it had a nice kick) Cheese wontons: nice and crispy but the very little filling. We got one with no filling in it :( Chicken egg roll: The filling was super flavorful but didn't really like how thick the wrapping was. read more

The service after 2 is horrible. Especially trying to call them they don't even answer the phone to acknowledge they're closed or no longer taking orders. I placed a to go order they got my order wrong I've tried calling them back and no answer!!!!! read more

This is a very convenient location next to Covenant hospital and I have Texas Tech. The food is excellent and they do take phone orders and to go orders on a regular basis. Always remember to check in on their times because they can be a little bit weird. Be prepared for quick service and a quick turnover of tables in the dining room. read more

Service was so so. The woman who took my order seemed like she didn't want to be there however when I asked for some extra onions and silverware she was super sweet. Went during lunch time so it was crowed and noisy but nothing terrible. The overall taste of the food was bland I had the Pad Kee Mao and was expecting more spice and basil. I would come back to try something else before writing off this place. So I will update if/when that happens. read more

Service!! Mistakes happen, and they did their best to get a bulk, pre-ordered meal out as quickly as they could after it was never entered. The problem is their "itemized" receipt. A receipt that says "DEPT 01" with a price on every single line is not an itemized receipt! So, when I asked to take a picture of the order that was written down so I could see each line item, they flatly refused and were extremely rude about the whole thing! Extremely disappointed and absolutely NOT the way to get return business. Especially from an industry that requires itemized receipts and could bring you years of business! read more

The food was good , but the service was terrible! A customer was loudly yelled at because she sat in the wrong section waiting for her order, even though the restaurant wasn't busy and there were no signs. My wife was yelled out for taking a stare from the cup on the counter because the waitress had not given us one. She made everyone feel uncomfortable for no reason. read more

Great Thai food and great service! We love their pad Thai! Also their curry's are good! I ordered the red curry and it has a good flavor! You have to order first and then you can have a seat. They will bring out the food! The place is kinda small, sometimes it does get packed! A lot of take out orders because of TTU and the hospital across the street! read more

My first visit here was great, which makes it harder to understand what went wrong this time. The food itself is decent. I had the Pad Thai-- but the spice level was disappointing. I asked for Hot Thai Spice and got something closer to mild. Having been to Bangkok and living in Houston, I know what hot should taste like, and this wasn't it. Service was the bigger issue. For takeout, I was told 15-20 minutes. It took 30, and several customers who ordered after me got their food before I did. As an Indian family, it was hard not to feel overlooked, and the delay meant my daughter didn't even get to eat her meal before I had to rush her to class. Bottom line: this place can get it right (as my first visit showed), but the inconsistency in service and spice makes me hesitant to come back. If you do go, order ahead -- and don't expect much heat. read more

It was good until I got yelled at from the register lady for seating on the table when it was a To go order. At the time there was no seats so I told my daughter I'll get it to go but if a seat opens up then we can seat . I guess you're not allowed to do that and got yelled at in front of everyone. There was a better way to tell me politely!! Never going back! read more

Amazing Thai food--authentic, well prepared, and inexpensive. Gets really crowded at noon because UMC medical professionals come for lunch, but service is efficient. read more

Best Pad Thai in Lubbock. We did mild spice but medium is the way to go. If I am wrong, let me know where I should try, because this stuff is the bomb. read more

I ordered takeaway during a busy lunch hour and came away impressed. While my taste in Asian cuisine is limited to the Americanized versions of Chinese and Japanese, this was my first experience with Thai food. I ordered several items so I could try a little of everything, and I could rave about all of it! Since it was my first time, I opted for the Mild variety of each dish. Being adventurous, I definitely want to try the Medium and Hot versions during future visits, which are guaranteed to be in there very near future. read more

I started going here back in college and still enjoy it to this day! Their pad Thai is one of the best I've had. My husband enjoys the spicy chicken. The staff there is always friendly. The place is small so make sure to get there right when they open or do call in but be prepared to wait. read more

The best tasting Asian dishes in Lubbock. Here is selection from Thailand. Nun, the owner, has a fantastic restaurant, with the best employees, and the finest foods. She has a terrific "Business Model". She also revealed she does not use MSG and can cook these dishes just fine without it. YEAHHHH! Thank you Thai Pepper team for wonderful dishes and awesome service. read more

Food portions are good. I enjoyed the red curry. The Rangoon/cheese wonton is not worth buying. I barely had any filling in my wontons, just crunchy wonton. Vegetable egg rolls were also subpar, but would fill you up. Service was a little slow but I went during lunch time on a weekday. Ambiance was more of a pick up and go type place but you can sit and eat. read more

Very good food. Kind people. The ambiance is nothing special. But the food is all good but everyone knows that. So just go.

The Cool special is top tier. Cant go wrong with the pad Thai either. Very good, great portions. Consistently delicious and friendly. I love ordering mine spicy. Their Thai tea is also very good, it always helps cool down a spicy tongue. It's refreshing, sweet, and creamy. read more

Tofu panang curry and pad Thai - amazing. Still amazing even after being away from LBK for a few years. Love this place.

We've been searching and now we've found .... The tastiest Thai place in town. I think we've tried them all here -- including the ones that are "banned" on Yelp. Food: Outstanding! Recommend the Tom Yum Soup, Panang Curry, and the highly authentic Pad Thai Prices: Super Affordable. $7.50 -$9 for typical dish Service: Great once you get a table. It's a popular joint during the lunch hour. Be prepared to wait for a table. But the tables turn quickly. Self-serve to pay Only wish for Thai Pepper ... be open on the weekends! Would love to come back again read more

Thai Pepper - Tom Yum Soup - Thai Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

I have never been disappointed with the Thai food here. I have eaten at every Thai place in Lubbock, and Thai Pepper is the best by far. The chicken egg rolls are incredible as is the pad thai and panang curry. Everything I have gotten here has been incredible. I have been going here for almost 10 years. It was my favorite hole in the wall when I was in grad school. I was fortunate enough to live right down the street. The family that owns Thai Pepper are community staples, and the wait staff have been working there ever since I've been going. Everyone is very nice. Yes this place is almost always busy. That's because it's amazing. read more

Food is delicious service is awesome. I am always craving their food! Cozy clean place!

The food is extremely delicious and we have not ever had a bad experience when coming here. I am willing to say this is the best Thai food in Lubbock. The service is quick. You may want to get there early to beat the crowds. My husband loves that the food is not heavy. read more

NOT THE SAME FOOD OR OWNERS. The service and food is disgusting. When you complain about the food they act like they don't know how to make it better. Always lacking something and never know what your talking bout. THE NEW THAI PEPPER IS MAM'S, THATS WHERE THE OWNER IS AT NOW. YOUR WELCOME read more

We are new to Lubbock and have tried several Thai restaurants here and this is by far the best one. Great food and friendly service. We highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Normally, I love this place. They have updated the interior and prices remain reasonable. Today, since I had a meeting at noon, I walked in at 11:21 am and ordered beef with green pepper with fried rice and cheese wontons - all To Go. I sat on the uncomfortable bench and waited, waited...people who ordered after me were getting their orders. Finally after 18 minutes, I asked and the guy goes "it's on the grill now". Ah. So glad I came early and pre-tipped. After 26 minutes I got my food with a small "sorry" from them and ran out to my meeting. The wontons are awesome, as always, but cheese crusted on the outside of the bag. The beef with green pepper did not have the fried rice that I paid extra for. The beef is quite terrible - zero flavor and I had to drown it in soy sauce to get any type of taste out of it. Overall, if I eat here again, it'll be in person to ensure I get what I pay for. read more

Same as last time. Very good. I got just mixed vegetable stir fry. Good. My date got the Catfish Plate. He's crazy about Thai Pepper. I like that's it's not that expensive. read more

Pad thai is the best (& probably most popular item) and I get it its the best. We did combination and it had a lot of flavor. The other stuff we ordered was not just meh lacking flavor or over cooked, or noodles too al dente. (steamed gyoza, pad see eiw beef) I get it we are in West Texas and its not as Authentic as I'd prefer but i'd go back for combination pad thai. read more

Solid food. Pad Thai was good. The egg drop soup wasn't great though. Not a bad place for Thai food

I've been to this place twice and the Pad Thai is excellent! I have also had the Pad Woon Sen which was good! The wait for the food isn't too bad and I will definitely make this my go-to Thai spot read more
