    I should preface this with the fact that we are regulars here. Probably 20 visits since they opened. We have a love hate relationship with hot pepper Thai. When it's good it's so very very good. But when it's bad....... They are incredibly inconsistent. Both with their flavors and more so with their spice levels. Their service is slow. They are constantly understaffed. Their workers argue with each other. Nothing about how they operate makes sense. But... when their food is good it's so very very good. If there were a better Thai option in the area, we would never return. Edit: Got our chicken pad Thai home. No peanuts, no tofu, barely any chicken. We are officially now done with Hot Pepper Thai.

    The pieces of lettuce were about four inches square.  Stupid.

    Order took twice as long as they said. Waited for an additional thirty minutes. They bring the food out, but the bag looks too small for what we ordered. "Is the Thai Salad in there?" "Oh, uh, no. Good catch! You should work here!" Um, no. So the kid bagging the food didn't know how to make it, the cook was listing off random ingredients. Got it all home and the salad was missing the green onions and bean sprouts. The lettuce pieces were laughably enormous (see photo), like they were pulled off a head of iceberg lettuce. Not chopped. Just "here you go". The flavor of the food was great. The salad was a joke. The wait was inexcusable. Another customer waited so long she asked for her money back. Save yourself the trouble - avoid this place and go to Bangkok Thai Express on Dixie. They've been rocking it and getting orders right for a long time.

    Update: so we have been trying to eat here again for a few weeks and can NEVER get through the phone lines, every time we have tried calling multiple times and no one ever answers. Tried one last time and I was calling for over a half hour and line was constantly busy- finally was done with my errands and drove by (when I would have been getting dinner) and place is empty- still no one answers the phone. I have double checked the number; guess they just don't want business? I'm sad because the food has always been good but I literally have not been able to order for months.

    Pak 10. Pad Pak Lunch with tofu and red curry sauce instead of brown sauce. Yum!

    I got the pad pak vegetable with tofu but I asked for red curry sauce instead of brown sauce. I liked all the veggies in the pad pak so they were very accommodating. Very nice flavor. Medium has a good kick but not too spicy. The soup they served for dining in at lunch was good too. It was like a hot and sour egg drop soup with veggies. I don't usually like hot and sour soup but this one had a nice taste.

    Came here on a whim with my 3 teens. Service was great! Kind and helpful servers. Starter soup was hot and delicious. I ordered seafood coconut curry--mild pepper with just a bit of kick. Son got chicken satay. Nice sticky peanut sauce. Not too sweet. Tom Yum soup was a bit heavy on the onions but had chunky button mushrooms instead of shaved. Small bowl was the size of a full bowl in other Thai places. Crab Rangoon was sweet and slightly crispy. Pad Thai had big chunks of tofu & chicken with just the right amount of crushed nuts. We'de come back again!

    Drug out the rice cooker, so that we can eat our meals

    I have eaten in & have had carry out. Good food & Fair prices. They do make more than their fair share of mistakes though. This is the second time I have gotten all the way home- and there is No Rice. Called, and they Said they were too busy to take of my call. So here I am at home, hungry, paid for dinner, which is getting cold while I cook my own rice. Ugggh Hungry & Sad

    We waited 50 minutes for take out on a Tues night (highly recommend calling ahead, which in fairness, we had not). Our order was simple: one large Pad Thai & one Lettuce Wrap. The noodles were very, very salty, and near flavorless. The Lettuce Wraps? Not only were they not "wrapped", (not a big deal, but after waiting almost an hour, we thought they must be more labor intensive than a scoop of overly sweet and excessively salty meat filling in a plastic container), but the lettuce itself was so gross (brown, old, no crunch) that I would have discarded that quality from my own refrigerator. The young people behind the counter were understaffed, polite, and hustling. But the food was definitely not worth waiting for.

    It's a fast food restaurant, dine in and out. Nice, clean, fast service. The drunken noodles, Pad thai and Pad ped(?) were all well served and delicious. The course size was also large enough for two people.

    Clean, fast, not a hole in the wall type joint, which is nice compared to some other restaurants for Thai in the area. Pad Thai is good

    Tastes like microwave food, yuck. Atmosphere is very take-out only, bright fluorescent lighting and awkward tiny cold seating.

    My wife and I ordered takeout on Saturday. 2 orders of…read morespring rolls (5stars), chicken satay (3 stars, dry and tough but the peanut sauce is great!), 2 containers of hot and sour soup (4 stars, 1 container is enough soup for 2 people, very thick dark brown with all very small cut pieces of vegetables. Would be better with larger vegetables, more green onion and some mushrooms), the Bangkok Special House Fried Rice (very large, very tasty, even better on day 2 and my wife is going to get a third meal out of it) and Bangkok Pad Thai chicken, hot + baby corn (very tasty, needs a lot more green onion and needed more baby corn but lots of chicken and it was quite spicy hot. I normally always order Pad Thai hot and I had definite lip burn after eating. First night we ate 1 container of soup, 3/4 satay, the spring rolls and we each ate about 20% of our entrees and we were stuffed. Night 2 we finished the satay, second container of soup, I ate all my pad Thai and my wife ate about 60% of the fried rice (another 40%). Door was all tasty and with the issues identified resolved this would be our go-to Thai place from now on. We will definitely try it again but we prefer Red Chili Thai on Sashabaw at the moment. Still giving it 5 stars since it just opened. Looking forward to round #2.

    Masaman was good, slightly soupy. But it was good, up there with my top 10. Service was great,…read morefast. Would buy from again.

    AMAZINGLY AUTHENTIC yummy Thai!…read more First experience thete was wonderful. Each meal made felt like it was cooked with love. We ordered a LOT and loved it all. Pad Woon Sen - glassy noddle dish with chicken was my sons favorite dish but not mine as glass noodles were not always my first choice. EVERTHING here was so tasty and fresh. Pad See Ew - very tasty!! Thai Basil - with chicken was delicious! Thai Cashew Nut with Beef - excellent, kids loved the beef the most but asked for no cashews when I served them. Tom Yom Soup - very hearty and great flavor. Glad it wasn't too spicy. Spring Rolls - could have tasted better with more veggies but still one of the best Asian spring rolls around town. But the best was the dessert! Never had mango sticky rice or coconut cistard as good as I've had here. We went around 2 PM so there was only one other table there. Food came out in a reasonable time, but the dessert took an exceptionally a long time to make. Make a note to order that well ahead of time if you don't like to wait the extra 20 minutes for dessert. Wait staff was excellent as well!! Would totally come here again. Ps. My kids asked to go back the next day. They never ask that. We will definitely be back soon! I can't wait to try more dishes.

    I got this on Uber Eats delivered cuz I was craving Thai food and Waterford is a bit far from me. I…read moream super impressed with this food. The tom kha was super comforting and perfect amount of coconut milk. I got the shrimp fried rice and it was very good. I got all my dishes "Thai spicy" for the spice level and I will say it was spicy for sure. I tried the hot and sour soup ( tom yum) and that was also splendid. I will have the leftovers at work for lunch for sure as I'm feeling pretty full. Definitely one of the good Thai food spots in metro Detroit I've tried.
