I always loved this place but I drove by and the building is all cleared out. They are no longer in business at the Palm Desert location. Sorely missed. read more

Dinner for five dine in. Greeted immediately by friendly busboy and minutes later water delivered. Easy substitution of tamari for gluten free. Almost every dish bursted with flavor with the standout being Tom Kha soup. Generous portion of Beef Panang had strong coconut and lemongrass overtones and perfectly mild as requested. Yummy fresh crisp green beans with fried tofu really rounded out the meal. The chef seafood speciality was very good but a bit heavy on the bell pepper/onion filler. Chicken satay was thoroughly enjoyed by the 4-year old. Adults all had a taste and agreed that it was moist but lacked flavor. One more big plus- rice was included, it seems a rarity in asian restaurants these days. Final bill was about $100- no alcohol, just an apple juice for the little one. Note that the restaurant is small. If you're craving Thai, get your name on the list. Will definitely come again when we're in town. Highly recommend. ~EG Eats read more

This review is for takeout only. We enjoyed our dinner very much. Their Pad See Ew is flavorful and has generous portions of veggies and tofu. We also liked their Shrimp Pad Thai, its on the sweet and tangy side just the way I like it. The broccoli/green beans with tofu and peanut sauce is delicious. And the tofu curry was delightful too. Overall, its very good Thai takeout. You will find Peppers in the mall tucked away next to the "Mens Warehouse". Its a little hard to find so look for that large clothing store and it will help you locate Peppers. Park out front for free. Recommend. read more

Really good Thai food. they give you big portions. Pretty much takeout. There was one or two people working there, but the food was good read more

This small restaurant is take out and delivery only. We ordered food on a Saturday night and our order was ready within 15 minutes. We ordered Pad Thai and an eggplant dish as entrees. Both were well prepared and perfectly seasoned. The only disappointing item was the avocado spring rolls. Tons of salad type ingredients, but only the tiniest bit of avocado read more

Ordered takeout on a Sunday night (just fyi - it's takeout only!) Ordered chicken pad see ew, paid $18. Great portion and great, nice and fast service. The person who took my order was very nice and even offered to start cooking the dish 5 min after I called because I said I would be taking around 15 min instead of 10 to pick it up so it could stay fresh (awesome, thank you!). But, I wasn't a fan of the actual dish. For one, It was not sweet enough for me. I am used to a sweeter flavor when I eat Pad See Ew (not Pad Thai sweet, but sweet and salty) and this one just tasted savory. Second, it had thick carrots and huge pieces of cabbage which I have never had in my Pad See Ew before (and not a fan of). I am a self-declared Pad see Ew connoisseur and buy it every time I eat Thai. So I was so sad that it wasn't that great. I don't think I would come back. read more

Peppers Thai Palm Desert - Chicken Pad See Ew - Thai Near Me - Palm Desert, California

I tried Peppers for the first time via delivery. I was home solo, craving Thai, and this was the cheapest option. While far from authentic, Peppers wasn't bad. Mind you, I went with the most basic order possible: Pad Thai with shrimp and spring rolls. The Pad Thai wasn't super flavorful but also wasn't bland, but most importantly the shrimp were not overcooked at all and they give you a nice portion of at least 8 pretty large shrimp. No regrets there. Spring rolls were OK, crispy outside but the filling was kinda mushy. The two best things I've ever eaten in my life were both in Thailand: 1. Sukhothai noodles in Sukhothai, at a hole in the wall place with no English name I found by saving a Google Maps screenshot and showing it to a local. I devoured a bowl and loved it so much I ordered another. 2. live (tiny) shrimp mixed with toasted rice, lime, and cilantro in a small fishing village. had to eat 'em quick before they jumped off the spoon. These aren't the sort of life-changing culinary experiences one can find in the U.S., let alone Palm Desert, so if I want to eat the basics on my couch, fast and cheap is A-OK. read more

Wow! I'm surprised I stumbled upon this gem as they are definitely delicious. The glass noodles dish I had were plentiful in veggies, shrimp and chicken that I ordered. Portions were very generous as I had enough for a second meal. I did like the chicken satay but it is a little sweeter and creamier than I remember chicken satay being. Service was friendly. It is a small place just doing pick up which I applaud, make sure to order over the phone rather than 3rd party platforms to continue to help support local businesses! Their menu is small but plentiful. I can't wait to add more dishes to my palate, and hopefully they're all delicious. read more

My wife and I just experienced Peppers Thai for the first time. First impressions were really good from the excellent customer service over the phone to the customer service in person. The person we spoke with was very nice and it was fair priced for the amount of food. I got the Pad Thai and she got the Kung Pao Chicken. Both of our orders tasted good and we split an order of Veggie Rolls. I tried very hard to finish my food but I ended up eating less than half and saved the rest for the next day. Definitely a good price for the portions received. I would go back again and try something else since this was so good. read more

Boy was I surprised when I found out they had opened up another location *when I lived out of the valley, I would come to Palm Springs to eat at their PS location* Now that I live in Rancho Mirage this location is near me. Just finished eating up the food we picked up......and yes.....it's as good as the PS location. The cashew tofu dish was delicious and my partner gobbled up his garlic chicken. The veggie spring rolls were crispy and delicious. If you like the Peppers in Palm Springs then you will like this one. Had enough left overs for lunch tomorrow read more

My wife and I love exploring different Thai food places around SoCal. We see this place every time we leave Target and every time we say we'll come try it out. Well tonight was the night and we were beyond devastated. Upon entering the small shop, it smelled amazing. However, the first bite you take is flavorless. I started off with the beef Pad Kee Mao (Drunken noodles) and that first bite of the beef was my only indicator that it was going to be horrible. Overall, the dish was tasteless. My wife and I did not enjoy it as it was dull. I would not go here again. read more

I was visiting here at Palm Desert. My daughter was craving Thai food. I ordered Pad ee yew1st after opening this I noticed more vegetables a few pieces of meat a barely no noodles. It was ok.The shrimp fried rice this was very good and tasty. The shrimp spring rolls. Way to much lettuce onion was in it and I think ginger was in it gross . I eat spring rolls they missed items that was needed to make it. I think they just added some stuff inside.This left a bad taste in my mouth. I have had better. I usually don't make 3 stars reviews. I had to explain that I would go again but not to eat spring rolls. read more

Good food...tasty I ordered the pad thai and was a bit disappointed in the flavor. I always thought pad thai used fish sauce This one definitely did not! Not sure if they forgot to add it or what For that only 3 stars read more

Pretty good new Thai food restaurant. It's take-out only. I had the chicken pad kee mao spice level 4 (spice level ranges from 1 up to 5). Tasty flavor, good portions, not too spicy. I'd reccomend to anyone that likes Thai food. Good, and convenient. read more

Peppers Thai Palm Desert - Pad Kee Mao. The portions are more generous I just couldn't wait (this is about 75%). - Thai Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Love their spring rolls that are not fried (cold). Order them all the time, so decided to try other menu items, all disappointing. And this after spending $90 bucks for delivery on just 4 items for just the 2 of us! The Pad Thai had little flavor, and the wafer-thin chicken pieces had no flavor at all (like eating nothing). The crab rolls had only the slightest, faintest hint of crab flavor in them (paid for whipped cream cheese only on this one). And while the pineapple red curry was tasty, the base was as thin as water - it had the consistency of flavored water. Not worth the 90 bucks at all! This review would have been a one-star if it were not for the fresh spring rolls, which I will go back for. read more

We love the location in Palm Springs and were thrilled they opened a take out store near us in Palm Desert. We ordered take out our Oscar Party and the food was delicious and very fresh. Always impressed with the food quality, especially the vegetables and seafood and the yellow curry is spot on. Take out only and food is always ready on time- great addition to our community! read more

Moved to the desert a year ago and just found Peppers Thai. So far the best Thai take out I have found. The food is as very good, possibly better than Blue Orchid my previous favorite and the portion sizes are bigger, everything was very fresh and delicious. Peppers Thai is my new go to for delivery. read more

We ordered take out and it was delicious! The green curry was flavorful and so tasty. The spring rolls were filled with an assortment of veggies and you could really taste the basil. The kids loved the glass noodles. The yellow curry just needed a little more seasoning and both curry's could've been a little thicker but it was still all delicious! We'll definitely order take out again and can't wait to try other items! read more

Peppers Thai Palm Desert - Thai Near Me - Palm Desert, California

I would have given this place 5 stars... but the curry sauce I had tasted like melted plastic :( total cancer causing. I don't know if it's a soapy spice but it smelled like asbestos and it was inedible ... On the positive: 1. The delivery driver was SUPER prompt (grubhub) 2. The packaging for the lo mein, noodles, and Mongolian beef were fantastic 3. Portions are huge! 4. AWESOME pieces of meat (that weren't all "fatty" like a lot of other places.. 5. Great flavor! Seriously. The other three dishes were phenomenal... but the asbestos flavored curry was a real bummer-- because I love love love curry... this one had so much potential ... but I think they pour hot liquids into bad plastics to go -- or maybe it's some way they make it? I'm not sure.... but it was super strong like a semi truck slammed on the brakes .... In your mouth. :( But anyway... I probably wouldn't order that again. But ... again... I REALLY wanted to give them a five star review. But... maybe another time. read more

Food is great... not sure what that guy with the one star review meant by small portions. Asian restaurant portions are known to be larger than almost any other type of restaurant and that holds true here. Peppers has portions large enough for two people to share an entree but at this price I'd get two. It's not Claim Jumper or Hometown Buffet thank god, 8lbs of food for $8... quality over quantity is how I roll! Get the Pad See Ew with chicken or the Garlic Basil with beef, the fried spring rolls are bomb too! Girl at the counter was very sweet too. Good addition to the neighborhood for takeout dining! I'll be back! read more

Beware of being over charged! The menus have more things listed as "not available" than available and the prices being charged don't match the menus. When questioned I was told it was tax. Then I was told the drink was more than listed because of ice! One excuse after the other. I decided to cancel the order and the woman working said she was unable to do refunds and the owner would call my bank in a few days. I pushed and had her call the manager who was offsite and finally got cash out of a cardboard box and refunded me. I don't know what has happened but this place used to be dependable. read more

Very good, very fast... I like no nonsense restaurants that get me in and out when I'm on vacation... tons of parking, tons! Take out only, will get delivery once it's available next time I'm in town for business... but food is delicious. pad See Eww, veggie spring rolls and a sprite, my go to and this place didn't disappoint. I'm going try the Pad Thai and shrimp springs rolls before I go back home... and once it cools down in the fall I'll try the soups. I'm not use to this hot weather so I had do veggie spring rolls, they have an avocado spring roll too that sounds good. read more

Was craving some Thai food for dinner and found this place pretty close to our hotel. They only do pickup at the moment so I had to order to go. The portions from the Pad Thai were huge with a good amount of chicken. The flavor was actually good a little dry and it didn't come with lime like I'm accustomed to but it still was good. The Pad Se Ew had tons of beef in it, the meat weren't all the same sizes. Like you would get a bite of a nice thin sliced piece then get a huge chunk of beef that was dry and over cooked and had no flavor in the next bite. This dish was definitely lacking flavor as well. The Mongolian beef which was for the kids was really tasty. Nicely flavored but definitely not enough meat compared to the other dishes. You could definitely split a noodle dish to share which is a plus! Price is a little more than average, I bought 4 dishes and 3 Thai Teas and it cost me $74. Nothing out of the ordinary here, food was good but nothing really blew my mind. read more

The food is decent, The service is not good. I wouldn't recommend anyone going here, including the fact that you to eat outside or order there Takeout. There's not a lot of tables nor chairs, and the table wasn't clean nor was provided quality assurance/assistance. read more

We tried the food here about two months ago and really liked it. We got a second order maybe two weeks back and liked it just as much. We ordered the won ton soup the first time and loved it. The broth is delicate and savory at once. There are a lot of vegetables in the soup and the won tons are very good. We got it again the second time. Don't miss this soup. We have had the green curry, the yellow curry, the flat noodles(Pad See Ew) with chicken, the Thai chicken wings, the pot stickers, and glass noodles. Everything we have tasted has been very good. Note on the heat level. They offer levels 1-5 and the first time we got level 3. It is delicious but hotter than I expected. This was Thai level 3 and not American white guy level 3. Backed off to level 2 the second time and that was just right for us. I love hot food, but Thai food is more nuanced than Buffalo wings or a burrito with Chili Verde so level 2 gives gives a good heat level but lets the taste of their food shine through instead of masking it. This is purely personal preference and your mileage may vary. We moved to the desert six years ago from the DC Metro area and there are a lot of great Thai restaurants there. This is the best Thai food we have found in the valley. There are a couple of Thai places I like but there are others I only ate in once. This is close, fast, and good quality. Portions are large and the heat level does go up the second day, just in case you need to know that. A note about another review. The reviewer warned about MSG possibly being in the food. the anti-MSG trope is at least 40 years old and there is no scientific evidence to prove a an effect from the compound. The notion began as a criticism of Chinese food that has some strong hints of ethnic or racial fears or antagonism. I first heard of this in the early 1980's and the idea has been debunked many times over. I have no idea if Peppers uses MSG or not, but I do know that MSG is in lots of food that we consume in this country, especially packaged foods. MSG occurs naturally in tomatoes and cheeses. Chick-Fil-A and KFC use MSG. It's in snacks, frozen meals, and canned soups. I've never seen it as an ingredient in a jar of spaghetti sauce, probably because it's not added but in the main ingredient off the vine. Is it possible that some people are sensitive to MSG? Yes. Does that mean that MSG caused whatever symptom you had after eating in restaurant is because of MSG? Not necessarily. If you eat Italian food with marinara sauce and you don't get "Chinese food syndrome" that may be because you don't expect the problems in Italian food but you do in Asian kitchens. I think a reviewer should ask the restaurant first before making a claim about ingredients in their food when the OP has no idea if the claim in true. MSG is blamed for lots of things: headaches, bad stomach, obesity, etc. Claims that it is dangerous are all based on flawed studies that have been debunked in recent more comprehensive research. read more

Super fresh veggies, and made fairly quickly! Definitely a spot i will come back to in the future!

Service is great . Food was on time Papaya salad was not like traditional way Little disappointed it read more

This was the worst food.. not just Thai food but food in general. They must have poured a cup of salt into the pot . My food was inedible. I never write reviews however this is necessary. You should not support this establishment. Look at the reviews. The recent reviews are terrible. The old reviews are good. Maybe this restaurant was bought out. Seriously bad now. read more

Loved the food. Ordered take-out and it was well prepared, hot and very tasty. We live in the Bay Area and have a lot to compare it to, and we really enjoyed the two noodle dishes we tried. We also had the cold vegetarian rolls that were very fresh, with the rice wrap soft and not dried out and the vegetables and tofu were perfect. We will make this our go to Thai spot when down in the area. read more

Great spot for Thai take out. We were staying about 10 minutes away. Call ahead, pick up and headed back to our resort. The glass noodles and pad see ew were both great! As were the crab Rangoon's! read more

Came here today with my husband and we had a pretty good experience. The food was good. We ordered the pad Thai and the yellow curry. Not a sit down restaurant really. But the Pad Thai was pretty good and the curry was a little watery. read more

Everything we ordered didn't taste like what it was supposed to and it was way over spiced. When you ask for mild spice, your mouth shouldn't feel like you just ate a raw chili. The pad thai and pad see ew were extremely bland. They almost tasted similar and they shouldn't taste similar at all. I've made better Thai food at home. I definitely don't recommend this place. read more

Didn't update their hours on google maps. We drove all the way there to find out they were closed when they were listed as open.

I wanted so badly to like this place. We usually eat at another Thai restaurant but they have gotten so expensive I thought we would try something new. The place was clean. Take out only. That was ok. Service very nice. Food was out really fast. Yes I did read the reviews and thought it couldn't be all that bad. The food was very spicy. That was not the problem. The food had NO taste, As if they forgot the seasoning and sauces. BUT THE JASMINE RICE WAS FANTASTIC. Will not be going back. Sad was hoping to find a replacement for the restaurant down the street. read more
