Great food & great service! Family restaurant
Love this place. Pretty authentic THAI food. Spartan interior, but the food more than makes up for it. We had Thai salad with shrimp, soup, and two noodle dishes. Definitely coming back!
The pad Thai was great! Egg rolls were ok. I really enjoyed the cream cheese wontons. Overall I liked it! It's small and cramped but aren't all Thai food places?
Great food but very busy and chaotic at lunch. They have odd hours so you better go right at lunch. Waitstaff are very nice and helpful. Fish tank needs to be cleaned up.
Reliably very good food - can be crowded due to space constraints. Lots of pick-up orders (perhaps for that reason). Making no claims as to how it stacks up with restaurants in major markets - but for LBB it works well.
Great food. Service not so great. Best to pick it up. Restaurant is small! I would rate food a 5 and service 3.5. It's not always bad, but it is more often than not.

Lunch on a very busy Monday.
Arrived to find the parking lot packed. I think they were all at Thai Pepper. Usually a good sign.
Struggled to find a table that would accommodate our 2.5 member party. Place absolutely slammed, and the two waitstaff just couldn't keep up. I don't think I saw them pause for breath the whole time we were there.
After a solid 5-10 minutes waiting for the table to be cleared, wiped down, and the extra chair moved to a safe place, we surveyed the menu. Interesting mix of Thai and other "Asian" cuisines. Strange basket of fried wontons arrived with a sweet chili sauce for dipping. I thought the name of the place is "Thai Pepper." Hrmph.
Pork Larb and Pad Thai soon arrived at our table, and we tucked-in.
Larb was excellent. Great flavor with freshness that really took me back to my days in Udon. Requested spicy, but received somewhere around medium. Should've requested "American Hot" or "Thai Mild" as they understand in the "home country."
Pad Thai was middle of the road. Strange sweet aftertaste was off-putting. "Pretty good," but nothing to write home to Mom about.
Service was OK, but somewhat curt. An additional member of waitstaff could have seriously reduced the stress level.
food is always amazing. the only complaint I have is that their phone is always busy and if it's not they take forever to answer. love the food I understand that they're busy but service could maybe improve
I've eaten at every Thai establishment in Lubbock, yet I always come back here. I've never had a problem with the staff or getting my food (then again I'm not an overly difficult, stuck-up Lubbock yuppie). If you're a DFW/Houston/ATX/San Antonio transplant here for school and yearn for the taste of your coveted "hole in the wall" Thai restaurant then look no further. The Pad Thai is tasty, all the curries are on point, and appetizers are generally good too if you don't fill up on the "chips" and sauce first. Prices and portions are generous. No it's not the fanciest place in town, but who needs atmosphere when there's an older Thai couple dishing out the some of the tastiest food for miles.
The only downside for the generation unaccustomed to carrying cash is that they only take card payments for orders over $10. So come with cash or add an appetizer.
Today I went and got Garlic Chicken. This place was wonderful. They give you a choice of how spicy you want the food, they give you these little chip things that are the bomb.com, and even though it is a small place my drink was never empty. The only bad things was that it is a small place and it seems to be busy and packed most of the time. They also have a minimum of $10 for a card transaction. The food is priced well though and it is really filling.
Best pad thai in Lubbock? I think so! Wife said the fried rice was best in town too. AND we happened upon them when they had mango sticky rice! Being a very popular, small, locally owned business, you expect a wait. Staff was friendly. Food was flavorful. Space was nice and clean! The awards displayed on the wall speak for themselves. Thai Pepper is ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This place was amazing!!!! - The food was delicious and the portions were big. We came from another state and have been looking for a really good Thai place for almost a year and a half. We were happy to find this place it will be our go-to Thai place from now on!!
They open at 11 so Small suggestion, If you don't get here before noon you're probably not going to a table. So maybe get it to go....as there was a line out the door after 11:30. This shows us this is the best place in town.
The staff was so friendly and accommodating even though they were swamped. Thank you we'll be back again, the food was amazing, the place was clean, and loved everything about it.
this place is fireee. i crave the orange Thai Tea all the time! everything is so good. my favorites are the beef kool special with fried rice, combo pad thai, the spring rolls, & the cream cheese won tons!
Authentic, flavorful, and mind blowing food owned by a kind couple. I literally drove ten hours to eat some! This place is a must when in Lubbock, TX!
It's pretty good food! It usually comes out quick too. You have to physically go to the restaurant most of the times though to order takeout because they really like to leave their phone off the hook intentionally so you cannot call it in.
One of my favorite places to eat. Medium spice is the only way to go! make sure you get the beef egg rolls!! There usually is a long line and expect a decent wait time but it is so worth it!
Great food, big portions, and a great server as well. I'd suggest either getting there early, or ordering your food to go. The place gets very busy by noon, and large parties will be waiting for a long time if they want to sit together. There are only 9 tables, seating 4 ppl each.
Portions are enough to share, at least with the pad thai and yellow curry. Overall the best Thai place we've found in Lubbock.
