When I got to thai pepper, it was pretty busy. One of the servers greeted and helped me as soon as I walked through the door. My purpose for visiting today was to pick up lunch to go. I've been craving their larb and pad Thai, which both tasted amazing today. I also decided to try out their sautéed eggplant. The buffet selection was clean and had the same food selection as usual. This is such an easy place to choose for a quick and cheap lunch. Getting take out usually costs under $10 for me. Highly recommend :) read more

The decor is standard but nothing amazing, but oh the food was delectable. I ordered the a Pad Thai with shrimp. It was huge! The tofu was crispy and flavorful and would have been enough without any added protein. They have me 7 shrimp in my Pad Thai. I honestly couldn't even eat all the shrimp, let alone all the noodles. I loved their Pad Thai sauce. All too often, Thai restaurants Americanize Pad Thai and make it too sweet but this was perfection read more

Best Thai food in town for sure, and one of the best Ive ever had. Although I wasn't able to call in my order (no one would answer) I drove to the restaurant and ordered and it was ready in about 20 min. Worth the drive and the wait! We had the red curry with chicken (best I've ever had hands down), pad see ew and the drunken noodles. read more

We went again for the shrimp soup with coconut milk. Still delicious!! Pad Thai and calamari rounded out the meal. It is relatively quiet at lunch and relaxed pacing of the food is wonderful. The servers are helpful and cheerful. So we look forward to our next visit. read more

So my aunt called me from California to tell me about Thai pepper, and how it's supposed to be one of the best buffets around. I love Thai food so it didn't take any convincing to head over. They are located in a cute pink building, with their own parking lot. Every time I visit it has been decently busy but we easily find parking. I have only gone for the lunch buffet and I am so happy every time I do. The buffet is small but mighty. They have plenty of vegetarian dishes, and meat dishes. Labeled to let you know what the spice level is. I always go for the fried fish it's amazing, Pad Thai, peanut chicken, basil chicken, egg rolls, fried wontons, eggplant, and spring rolls. So basically everything. I have eaten the curry and it's delicious as well. They are constantly bringing out fresh food, and the restaurant is clean. It's also very affordable, we will definitely be back! read more

The place is a true hole in the wall. Do yourself a favor and try this place. The curries, noodles, soups are wonderful and full of rich flavor. The service is always top notch. Always attentive and kind. read more

Food is great and prices are nice! Love that they have vegan and vegetarian options because it is hard to find those in Baton Rouge! The only thing I had an issue with was the service. I have been twice and the customer service just isn't the best. The lady who takes our order always seems bothered by the fact that people are there. Food is great though. read more

The red curry was perfectly seasoned and everything tasted very fresh! The restaurant was clean and comfortable. Great place to eat Thai!

Think this may be my new favorite spot in BR! The service was great and the food came out quick! The restaurant itself was cute, clean, and adhered to social distancing. This time we got the Pineapple Fried Rice, Pad Thai, Sweet Basil Sautéed, and Curry Sauce with Fried Fish. It was all really delicious! My favorite thing there though is the Basil Fried Rice and Pad Kee Mao! This is the second time I've been here in one week . I just can't help how it, it's soooo good! read more

I ate here over a year ago and haven't came back since. I decided to come back and it's safe to say I will be coming back for the pad thai and to try out other things on the menu! I loved the service and the atmosphere; the people here are so kind and will make sure everything is to your liking I remember ordered chicken pad thai hot a year ago and said it wasn't as spicy as I hoped. This time around, however, I could definitely feel the heat!!! I loved it read more

Thai Pepper - Chicken pad thai hot - Thai Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

DO NOT GO HERE!!! Our chicken was OLD ! My mother and I went here for a lunch and our curry came out with slimy chicken. It was very clearly old chicken because it was chewy and smelled funny. We tried explaining it to the manager but she told us we didn't know what chicken tastes like!!? She sent out a second curry and the chicken again came out the same. I have been here many times before and have never had chicken like that. Permanently scarred from curry now after that experience. Would not go here again unfortunately. read more

Thai Pepper is my favorite Thai restaurant in Baton Rouge! It is a local family-owned business that always has fresh and tasty selections that are mostly healthy. The main attraction is the lunch buffet, which offers one many options to try. It rotates through the week, so you can try different dishes on different days. There is even a printed schedule that allows you to plan your dining in advance. Some of the highlights are Fresh Rolls, which are little spring roll like vegetarian creations of fresh veggies, herbs, and noodles in a rice wrapper. Pad Thai noodles are always a big hit. The Lemon Grass soup is always great, spiced with lemon grass which I am pretty sure they grow out back. The Thai Omelette is very good and has great spices. There are always a nice selection of vegetarian dishes, salads, and desserts. Be aware that the fried squid is some of the best I have ever eaten, absolutely excellent! Then there is dessert. The Black Rice Dessert is my favorite, different and very tasty. Then there are the creamy, fruity options. There are even a number of special drinks to try. A minor word of warning though, if they identify a dish as hot, they are not kidding! The ones marked medium or spicy are warm without being overwhelming. Keep this in mind if someone in your party has a sensitive stomach. read more

Enjoyed the coconut soup with shrimp, which was spicy without being painfully hot. The fried rice was excellent, I got mine with pineapple and pork. The chicken Sanjay is great, and the price for everything was perfect. Unfortunately, no alcohol for sale on the premises. read more

This is the first time I've ever had Thai food so I can't compare the food . The place was really busy though. The buffet was pretty big and offered a nice selection of food to try. There was also a small salad bar and a dessert area. I found a few things I really enjoyed. The desserts were not for me though we shared each one they had . There was some noodles that reminded me of the Singapore street noodles at P.F. Chang's minus the chicken, shrimp, and tomatoes . The service was good they kept the buffet stocked . I probably will not come back but that's because I didn't really like the Thai food versus other ethnic foods like Indian . read more

If I had to describe Thai Pepper in one work then I would say "freshness." Their ingredients and food always tastes so fresh. I have seen plant pots with fresh basil growing in them so I know they grow some of their own ingredients which adds a level of comfort I have not really gotten from other places. They have arguably the best lunch buffet in Baton Rouge, if not the state. Unfortunately, the lunch buffet is a no-go right now due to COVID. Their lunch menu is great though. They offer an affordable, variety of Thai dishes that are quite sizable portions. They also offer 4 spice levels which I quite enjoy. I hope everybody supports them since this is one of the best and most unique restaurants in Baton Rouge. read more

Food was ok. But I really wanted the buffet. Well they don't have the buffet. I will not be back. Big disappointment.

Great spot for Thai. We got carry out for dinner: Pad Kee Mao, Sizzling Peanut with chicken, and vegetarian egg rolls. Everything was flavorful and delicious, plus the container for the egg rolls had a notch cut out for the steam so they were still crispy when I got home! Looking forward to trying more from their menu. Lots of folks were eating inside when I picked up my order, which is always a good sign. read more

This is a 3.5 star review...but I'll round up for the benefit of the doubt. I and a friend came here one day for lunch. And it was ok. The service was a little weird...upon arrival we were kind of ignored. Then when a waitress acknowledged us and was walking us to a table, the lady at the cash register was yelling at her not to seat us where she seated us...but we went ahead and sat down and proceeded with lunch. For lunch, it is a buffet style Thai restaurant. I've never had buffet style Thai food so I was a little worried. However, the food was pretty delightful. The Thai fried rice was delicious. The chicken with peanut sauce was good and had great flavor and kick. The chicken larb was decent. The dessert I had (black glutinous rice) was confusing...I'm not sure if I liked it or not...it is something that MUST be experienced. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad and I'm not apathetic towards it, I literally don't know if I liked because the flavor profile was SO different to me. Overall, I'd come here again for the lunch buffet. At $9 it is a great value for the quality of the food offered. read more

Wonderful food. So fresh. Service is exceptional. Highly recommend this restaurant. I especially love the chicken pad thai and the larb.

I've been a regular here for over 10 years and it seems that Baton Rouge has finally discovered this hidden gem on Florida Blvd! Lunchtimes here can get PACKED now, so if you want to experience the best Thai food in the area get here around 11:30am! Their lunch buffet will give you an excellent chance to sample some of the best Thai food around! The chicken lemongrass soup, the three-flavored fried fish, the peanut chicken and fresh rolls are my go-to's! And with the popularity comes the problems of the buffet running out of food, but that's a blessing in disguise since it means everything that's on their lunch line will be fresh and hot! DON'T THINK everything on the buffet line is spicy, it's not! There's chili sauce on the side for dipping if you need to add some KICK to your meal, but expect lots of delicious & fresh flavors from their selection. read more

Thai Pepper - Just all-around the best bang-for-your-buck Asian buffet in town. - Thai Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

This is the best Thai food in town! The food is always fresh and authentic. And the service is absolutely amazing! Just wish it wasn't so hot in the resturant, they keep the temperature too high every time I go. I like to be cool and comfortable when I eat. Other than that I would have given them 5 stars. It beats every other thai resturant in town! read more

Never heard of this place and a friend said it's great so gave it a try. The spicy chicken basil fried rice was amazing! If you can't take the heat, don't get the spicy but if that's your thing, you will love it!!! read more

They don't answer their telephone for placing takeout orders, which is pretty annoying.

Solid place if you want authentic Thai food for a fraction of the price. They do buffet style so you can try a lot of different things. The chicken and spring rolls are my favorite by far. Staff was great and service was super quick. Definitely try the Thai desserts too!! read more

My favorite Thai food in Baton Rouge. The food is delicious and the staff is very friendly. I'm here for lunch about once a week.

Amazing place. The family that runs the place really cares about the quality of their food and their customers. Their masaman curry is probably the best I've had read more

Still good food, but we were disappointed that they no longer serve buffet. I miss the all you can eat lunch buffet.

They have some really nice Thai food, but I still miss their buffet. They shut the buffet down during COVID but as of yet have not reinstated it for lunch. I find their closure between lunch and dinner problematic for myself because I tend to have a very early dinner or eat a late lunch. But, many restaurants in Baton Rouge have a similar situation and hours. My favorite dish there is their yellow curry with pineapple and vegetables. read more

Barf! Total waste of my money. That's all I have to say about that..............................................................

This old pink building holds a gem of a restaurant. The food at this Thai buffet is fantastic. Always hot with lots of things to choose from. The workers get you in and out quickly, even when they are slammed for lunch (which is most days.) Come hungry because you're going to want to try everything! They also feature a small salad bar and even some dessert offerings. And the price is super low! I only wish this place were closer to my home or work- I'd be here twice a week! read more

Very solid Thai food. Best to-go food in town. Awesome price and quality. Recommend:)

Everything I've ever had here is amazing. The pad woon send is delightful. If you don't like Thai spicy make sure to get it mild. The 10 out 10 would recommend. read more

Growing up we ate their buffet and there were some vegetarian options. Today I revisited and accompanied a friend who has never been here before. No dinner rush so we had the restaurant all to ourselves for 10 min. We both had the Thai ice tea with whipped cream and it was good. I ordered the sweet basil without the onions and spring rolls and my friend had the combo pad Thai and chicken satay. I'm very sensitive to onions especially the red onions and she forgot to mention in the back. She brought it back to the kitchen but I'm not sure if they fixed me a new plate or just removed the onions...it just wasn't tasty. I hate to waste food so I usually bring my uneaten food from the restaurant and bring it home and try to improve the taste. I can tell my friend wasn't crazy about his food either because he usually finishes his plate if it was good. About an hour later, our stomachs were making all sort of noises. Food didnt sit very well for us. I end up just throwing away my box of food. read more

For $8.99 for decent, fresh Thai food with this being an awesome lunch spot. I started with Chicken Nam Sod which was very good, the spicy a plant also excellent with a hint of smokiness from grilling, the fried calamari was okay and I got a fresh salad with peanut sauce and a much too flavorless and mild coconut chicken soup. I prefer pork and there were no options. The red curry chicken was ordinary. However overall I would come back and fill my plate more with side dishes, the vegetable dishes and try that fish that look pretty good. For 8.99 it was an extra star. read more

Good for authentic Thai cuisine. I discovered it years ago by accident. I love Thai food as a favorite to most Asian cuisine. They grow and use their own herbs. The food is always fresh and delicious . Many different items to choose from. Always delicious. read more

I recently found out I was adopted and my family was from Thailand. When I met my sisters we wanted to find something special that was based off where our family came from. THIS PLACE WAS EVERYTHING!!!!!!! we ordered the Larb, Tom YUM soup, and the fish curry. I was second guessing it by it being my first time eating Thai food and also being raised in Baton Rouge I always loved Cajun food but the food here was seasoned to perfection and we got everything Thai spicy! The fish was good as well! I will be back! read more

This place isn't too interested in being a restaurant. The door says open until 8:30 but she insisted they closed at 8 and when we arrived at 7:30 she was very upset and rushed us through out. Food was good though. read more
