This is probably the best Thai food I've eaten in Lubbock. It's usually super busy, which is also a good sign. Everyone loves this place and for good reason! read more

Above average Thai Food, but their hours are seriously so annoying. I've never seen somewhere have such a following and yet such a small resteraunt with such strange hours. They will randomly close for like 2 weeks or just not be open for dinner randomly read more

Food was very good! The place needs to add staff! It took me longer to pay out than to get and eat my meal! The lady checking people out was also preparing call-ins orders and there were probably more call-in going out the door than meals in the restaurant! read more

I'm in a love hate relationship with Thai Pepper. The food is some of the best/cheapest Thai food you'll find in LBK. With that being said 3/4 times I come to eat here they are closed for weeks at a time. They're so inconsistent. Most recently I tried to call for 10-15 minutes with no answer and then had to drive to place a to-go order in store just to realize that the phone was off the hook. Being told it would be a 10-15 minute and then waiting 30. Absolutely ridiculous. But for sure try the Pad Thai if they are ever actually open. Even with awful service I will continue to come back unfortunately. I'm wrapped around your finger Thai Pepper. read more

The dinning area is a little small and definitely does get crowded because the food is in high demand. I just order my food to go and dont ever have a problem. I always get Thai Iced tea, chicken curry and Pad Thai. Never disappoints! So good!! read more

Pad Thai never disappoints! Been going here for years and LOVE IT. Definitely going to miss it after graduation!

Go to Bangkok or Thai Kitchen. The food is mediocre compared to the other two and the service and wait times are AWFUL.

Best Thai food you will ever have. But service SUCKS. Called an order in at 1250, said it was going to be 15-20 mins. Got there at 110, line was out the door. Took 40 mins to get through a 6 person line. My food is now cold. I've always been a fan of this place but the service has gone DOWNHILL. Don't think I will ever go back. read more

Amazing food. The service is pretty good; the staff is friendly and decently prompt. As another reviewer mentioned, it could be a little cleaner. You're expected to seat yourself - but that means the tables can be sticky, as was the case when I dined there. Eventually, a girl came by and wiped the table off, but still. That aside, this place has some of the best curry you can get in Lubbock. I've been a few different places and I definitely prefer Thai Pepper. They also have a decent vegetarian selection and are willing to substitute the meat on dishes. Overall, great food. Sometimes, it's busy, but definitely worth the wait. And, they do carry-out. Occasionally, I swing by on my way home from Tech and pick up some food and it's still great. read more

Hands down to Thai Pepper. Arguably one of the place in Lubbock or West Texas for that matter for deliciously cooked Thai cousin. I would HIGHLY recommend yellow curry, I didn't have yellow curry for about 2 years together me visiting this location but after trying it few months ago, I would've immense craving every week or so. Remember Yellow Curry! Call in your order or get their early. read more

food was not of the highest quality, and the service was slow. If your looking for the best Thai food in Lubbock come to Thai kitchen

This is my favorite Thai restaurant in Houston. The food and service is consistent and their cheese rolls are the best thing I have ever eaten, I actually crave them! read more

Loved Thai pepper! It took a couple minutes to be helped but the food was great and we will definitely return! It was pretty busy so it is a popular place, clearly. read more

Fried tofu with perfect sweet pepper sauce and crushed nuts and yellow curry with potatoes and onions. This food was spot on perfection. I ordered mild and glad I chose conservatively! Great menu choices and lots of great specials. You can BYOB if you wish. Our server was very professional and responsive, restaurant was very clean and a cozy. Get there early because this place is busy! Closed on Saturday and Sunday but great hours on week days. Go try something amazing; Thai Pepper will not disappoint! read more

Thai Pepper - Thai Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

If you've ever been to Thailand, or tasted the authentic Thai food, u can say it's alright but not as good as the OG. Food comes out fast, and service is really nice. It's our first time but will definitely be coming back. I hope they would serve the Pad thai nuts and with lemon or lime on the side. read more

Busy little place. Had the green curry medium and it was a perfect spice level. The vegetables were cut a bit big and the chicken a bit sparse but overall the taste worked. I also had the hot and sour soup and it was amazing. Definite I would order the soup again. read more

Amazing food! Fresh ingredients and great preparation really come together for a great meal! I recommend the yellow curry spicy if you think you can handle it! Ginger chicken if you are afraid of catching on fire from the spices. The only reason I have to give it a 3/5 is the poor over the phone and to-go service they have. Their phone only has 2 lines so after ~6pm you can't call because the line is always busy. The staff will put you on hold and forget about you which is disappointing. Overall the food handily makes up for my disappointment and frustration with not being able to call my order in ahead of time. read more

Upon first impression, incredibly crowded on a week night, brightly lit with tepid atmosphere. Ordered the yellow curry with chicken, extra veggies, medium spice. The food was good, not great, sticky rice noted as a good main stay & with chicken as the protein would expect more than 3 1/2 meager pieces in a gargantuan bowl. Service was poor and assume it was partially attributed to the large crowd. People constantly bumping into tables & questioning when tables were leaving. If you like ambience; NO; service; NO, a decent curry, sticky rice & Thai tea, yes. I will hesitate before my return. read more

Although I have not been to all of the thai places in town, Thai Pepper is sure to be one of the greats. I get their chicken noodle soup every time. It sounds kind of boring, but they spice it up so good. Service could be better and atmosphere isn't too exciting but the food makes up for it.

I am updating my review so I can give it 5 stars. Since I have written my review I have continued to visit this location at least once a week, sometimes two times. The wait staff has started to recognize my husband and I and remember our orders. This is crazy because they are always so busy. I love coming here and trying all the menu has to offer. Instead of two dishes, I know have 5 different dishes that I want when I go. It is always such a hard choice to choose one, they are all so perfect in their own way. I recently have been showing Pad woon sen a lot of attention. It is thin rice noodles with a perfectly not too sweet sauce with bean sprouts and a little egg. I usually get chicken, but all the types are rockin. I'll Thai anything once here. It is all so fresh, made with love, and I literally in my near 100 times of visiting have never had an order come out wrong or cold. It is always on point. ALL HAIL THAI PEP. read more

This place is amazing we loveee it . Such great food and people , everything is customizable depending on how spicy you like things and preference . Great whole in the wall place with amazing prices . They also serve big quantities. I would give it 5 stars the only thing is the hours are soooo random . It is extremely hard eating here because mostly when we want it it's closed . read more

Based on the reviews here, I thought Lubbock might actually have a decent thai place in town but after last nights dinner it has been confirmed that there are absolutely no authentic thai restaurants in town. Don't get me wrong, the restaurant was clean and cozy but the food was not as good as you would think after reading all of these reviews. I was highly disappointed and have given up on thai food in Lubbock! read more

I went into this restaurant because my little brother had been meaning to give it a try for some time. Despite mixed reviews, I decided to give it a shot. Right from the start, I was already displeased with the service. It took a few minutes for the person at the front, who wasn't helping anyone, to tell us that we could sit anywhere. There was only one table open to seat my group of three, but there was still dishes from the previous group. After sitting, it took nearly 10 minutes for someone to finally clean the table then another 7-10 minutes until we were rudely acknowledged by the server who originally cleaned our table. (For any managers reading this, I never got his name, but he wears thick plastic black frame glasses and has somewhat of a goatee. He doesn't need to be working in the restaurant industry). Eventually, another server came to us to FINALLY bring menus out and take our drink orders. She brought our drinks out just in time, because we were starting to get up to leave. Now on to the food. I made sure to put aside all bad feelings I had from the bad service. Thai food is one of my favorite cuisines out there so I can get very picky with it, especially when it comes to curry dishes. I have tried many different curries from all cuisines that make them, some being very viscous and others being somewhat saucy. I found their curry dishes to be very soupy and didn't really have to much flavor. The meat cuts in this curry soup were not all of good size either. Some pieces were a bit small while other pieces I would consider shreds. The Pad Thai was relatively flavorful, but it is one of my least favorites that I have tried. Its on par to Pad Thai made from your common chain restaurant. It also only had one shrimp, that was a disappointment. The only thing I really enjoyed was the fried tofu I had for an appetizer. You can't really go wrong when it comes to something this is battered and fried. Unfortunately, I felt the eggrolls I ordered were more like something you can get out of the freezer isle of a grocery store. At least that was deep fried as well. Overall, the food was sub-par, and I would only return there if it was the only restaurant open, all grocery stores were closed, and I had absolutely nothing to eat at home. As for the service, I've had better service at a late night drive through window from someone who clearly didn't want to be working past 2:00am. read more

Ummmmmmmmmmmmm yeah...thank goodness...Lubbock needs some flavor...and if you have not already figured it out...it is this hole in the wall next to the hospital on the backside of the strip center. THANKS Thai Pepper...love is needed! Volcano soup will make your soul happy and your colon clean...sometimes I want something a little oily...fried rice baby...and then they have all your normal thai dishes with a kick of this is how it is done to them...get it all medium the first time. Oh and do not be freaked out the ladies in the back are totally breaking down paste, veggies, what not...on the counter outside the restrooms...who cares...the heat in the pan will get rid of the contamination hahaha. Oh and do not go at a peak time...you will wait FOREVER...but it is totally worth it! I have never had anything that was not wonderful here...so just order order order...something different everytime. read more

Thai Pepper is one of our family's favorite Lubbock restaurants. I am not an expert on Thai food, but I don't have to be, because I can go to Thai Pepper! For lunch, make sure you get there at 11:45 or sooner to get a table. Make sure you try the cheese wontons for an appetizer, my favorite entrees are Pad Thai and Gang-Garee. Great food, very helpful wait staff, can't rate this high enough! :-) read more

Underwhelming. I got the spicy chicken, it was thin and dry, the spicy flavor was good but I wasn't impressed. I tasted the pad Thai, which also contained chicken that was well spiced, but dry. The noodles in the pad Thai were tasty. It was decent, I am after-all in Lubbock, but I don't think I'll be coming back. read more

Best pad thai i have ever had. I come here at least once a week. Only downside is you have to pay with cash if under $10. Can make pad thai vegan with tofu and veggies with no egg. Very accommodating. Cannot recommend enough. read more

It's pretty much always packed to the gills, so just get used to getting friendly with the people in line or at the tables next to you. Lubbock has tons of great options for Thai food, and each one of the Thai places has their specialties. If you want Khow Soy, go to Thai Thai. If you want a noodle soup, go to Bangkok. But if you get a hankering for Pad Thai, Thai Pepper is the place to go. Like any self-respecting Thai place, they're closed randomly with seemingly no logic behind it (this is common, and not a knock on Thai Pepper). If you happen to drop in and they're open and they're not obscenely crowded, pat yourself on the back, but sigh a little bit because life will probably never be that good again (and text me or something idk). read more

Thai Pepper is a lovely little place to grab a bite of delicious food. The prices are good and the service was always friendly when I went. It is near Texas Tech. So, I went a lot my freshman year when I was homesick for my mom's cooking. It wasn't quite the same but still top notch inexpensive Thai food, and (by request) they made it just as spicy as she does. read more

i'd give this place 2.5 stars but no question about it, this is below average thai. i can't give it extra stars just because it is in lubbock. if you want thai food just to eat thai food, and you happen to be in lubbock, then go to thai pepper. if you are in the mood for good food, do not go here. the food does not taste very good (in actuality it is almost tasteless) and we ordered the pad thai and green curry as medium and it was not spicy at all. the fried tofu was probably the blandest and wost fried tofu i have ever eaten. read more

One of the best places in Lubbock my whole family loves it ! They are always super friendly and welcoming the food is always fresh and the atmosphere is always clean (: read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE. I eat here a couple times a month and my food is consistently good. When I first started eating here I would only get the Pad See Ew. Since frequenting here so often, I have expanded my horizons and am now completely obsessed with the Pad Woon Sen and the Yellow Curry Soup. I honestly don't think this place can make a bad dish. The service isn't bad, considering how packed this place always is. If you want to get a table at lunch time-arrive early. Prices are extremely reasonable. EAT HERE. You will not regret it. read more

I love that they sub meat for tufo. also their "chips and dip" is awesome! will eat here again.

I've tried pad Thai all over the USA trying to find one that's as good as this place. I haven't found one yet. Definitely my favorite place to eat in the Hub city. The small rice chips and sauce they give you to start are delicious. Go early because they run out. read more

It was OK but I am an Austin food snob, so maybe for others it is great but not for this Austinite!

I have eaten the pad thai from at least 20 different restaurants in austin and lubbock, and nothing ever compares to thai pepper. They have the absolute best thai food and whenever I come to lubbock, it's one of my first stops! read more

This place has the best pad thai and the best yellow curry in Lubbock. My boyfriend and I go here about once a week and never get tired of it. read more

Granted I've only eaten here once, but I was really unimpressed. I had pad thai that honestly tasted like it was made with peanut butter (you sometimes find "easy" pad thai recipes that have PB but real pad thai definitely shouldn't). I honestly think I'd prefer the grocery store Thai Thai to eating here. read more

I've been eating here for years, and it remains a favorite. Their food is delicious, and consistent. The staff is friendly, and extremely hard working. They get slammed with customers, and still keep their cool and work hard to serve everyone quickly and efficiently. In my opinion, the complaints about staff, ambience, etc are simply from uninformed patrons. When I die and go to Heaven, I'll be met with a steaming hot bowl of Volcano Soup! read more

This fucking restaurant is horrible. KFC is better than that. If you order a drink with less ice or no ice they will charge you, and the attitude is the worst. They force you to pay the tip, if you don't they will be mean to you. This place is he worst I have ever been in my life. read more
