Dropped by for lunch and was impressed, overall. The owner/host/waiter was quite reserved at first, but when we engaged him in conversation, he turned out to be pretty funny. There was only one other table of two occupied when we arrived, then a party of 9 showed up, but he handled it all with aplomb. Before talking about the food I should mention an hilarious event that transpired. After the first table left, whist he was busy with us and the large party, two women walked in and pulled an absolute classic that must drive restaurants crazy. There were about 9 or 10 other set tables, but of course they made a beeline for the dirty table that had just been vacated. When the owner came out and asked them to pick any other table because he was too busy to clean that one, they got so offended. They wanted to argue about it, but he just turned around to get some food from the kitchen and they finally, resentfully, moved. What is it with some people? The food: Several reviews suggested the portions were small and we were hungry, so we ended up ordering too much. The portions are a perfectly reasonable size. Appetizer platter: This was the least satisfactory part of the meal. Lots of deep-fried stuff and some OK dipping sauces. Decent, but not outstanding, other than the fresh chicken roll. Papaya salad: Fresh veggies and chunks of papaya in a spicy dressing...excellent. Red curry beef: Tender slices of beef, peppers and bamboo in a very, very peppery broth. Sumptuous. I love spicy food, but I'm pretty sure it would be too hot for 80% of Canadians. It had three peppers next to it on the menu, and that means really fiery, so be aware. Curried Pad Thai: My wife asked for very spicy and she had a hard time with the heat, but she loved the textures and flavours. I wolfed down what she couldn't handle. Again, excellent. All in all, a fine lunch. Including two pops, tax and a 20% tip it was almost $60, which isn't exactly cheap, but you get what you pay for...usually. I'll be back. read more

One of the tasteless restaurants in Brampton for sure . Order 3 different dishes and all 3 tasted the same and prices are relatively high . I don't generally give bad reviews but this one seriously deserve 0 stars read more

I just came back from Thailand, and it is a true food paradise; the food was just next level compared to everywhere else I've been. Unfortunately, Thai restaurants in the GTA absolutely suck. Most of them are Chinese-run, and as as Thai as your neighbourhood Burger King. Thai Pepper is run by actual Thai people, so the food is much, much better than other "Thai" (they need the air quotes) places. Is it as good as Thailand? Not even close. But it is the closest thing in the west end of the GTA, and the people are very nice, truly deserving of your patronage. I'd recommend the spicy basil noodles with beef; delicious. read more

This was the first time at this restaurant and I admit, I had high hopes, since I really don't think that Brampton has a decent Thai restaurant. Sadly, I have to say my opinion hasn't changed. Mediocre at best, overcooked noodles, although I asked for spicy and got spicy. Also I'm pretty sure there were 2 people (the cook and the guy working the front) working, so the wait for take out was very long. I'm not sure I'd go back. read more

who would believe that brampton would have the best and most authentic thai food restaurant in the GTA. The restaurant has a great ambiance and run by the nicest Thai gentleman. If the restaurant is busy do not expect fast service, it is a family run place that sometimes cannot keep up with demand and they will not sacrifice the quality of their food because you are in a rush. The Green curry is amazing and I also recommend the Pad Thai. For desert go with the deep fried banana with ice cream, it's the perfect end to a great meal. read more

This is the best Thai outside of Bangkok I've ever had, we've gone multiple times and although there's a chance you'll have a good wait for your food you have to remember it's a family run business, it's probably the same chef who makes your dish every time, not just anyone, which means the food is consitenly delishous and made with pride. read more

Nothing special about the food. Strange considering the great reviews. We visited this afternoon and were greeted by this gentleman who apparently also the server, cook, greeter etc. It would have been great if he had a professional to recommend dishes to us. We asked if he could recommend something but he was not great at communicating that to us. The food lacked flavor and too much salt in the Tom yum soup. It could also be just an off day for this place. I strongly recommend the owner to hire someone trained to be a good server. Also please help guide the first timers. read more

Service was good. Food was great. Had the green curry and curried pad Thai. Both delicious and filling. However: Spice? Nah. #ThisIsNotSpicy read more

Nice little hideaway. Clean space. Food is fresh and feels homemade. Staff is friendly and helpful. Chicken wings are not the best we ever had but everything else was good. (Shrimp in green Curry, Chicken grapow all good. ) read more

Did a yelp search for thai food in the area and I found myself here. I was accompanied with 2 teenage girls and coming from an amusement park we were famished. We ordered the Thai ice tea and thai iced coffee which was perfect and refreshing. Chicken satay and fried tofu which was great and the sauce they served with it even better. We ordered chicken fried rice, pad thai, and BBQ beef. The chicken fried rice is very homemade-ish we loved it. It's a lot more wet than Chinese fried rice so it looks different than what people are use to. BBQ feels like home cooking and the pad thai was so good we ordered another one. Will come back when in the area. read more

Wonderful caring owner, a small quaint place thai place. Looks nice. Food was very good. A definite if in the area!!

After reading all of the previous reviews about the food here, I decided that I would give this place a try. Boy was I happy! The food was amazing! I only ordered two dishes, however those were the two best dishes I've had in such a long time at a Thai restaurant. I ordered the Pad Thai which comes with chicken and shrimp, the pumpkin soup and some peanut sauce on the side. The Pad Thai was delicious! It was juicy, a bit saucy (not dry at all, just the way I like it) and hot- full of flavor. I added the Thai peanut sauce on top and it was now a holiday! The sauce was perfectly made and had bits of crunchy peanuts mixed in- Yum!But the "pièce de résistance" was the pumpkin soup. Man oh man was I happy I ordered this! Creamy and slightly spicy and just scrumptious! It was probably the best pumpkin soup I've ever tasted. The only reason why they don't have a perfect five stars, was that the gentleman who took my order wasn't really friendly or attentive. He just listened, took my order and walked away. The next time I really saw him was when he put the bill in front of me on the counter which of course I knew was mine. As soon as I paid, I only heard a very soft "thank you" at the end of our transaction. I would say the interior of the place is very outdated and definitely in need of an upgrade, however looked very clean. I will be back to try other dishes and if they were as good as my first experience, it's going to be a pleasure to add this Thai place to my restaurant repertoire! read more

See all

Did a take-out order of Pad Thai. It was alright, nothing special. Place was clean and there was only one server/host the day I went, was friendly. read more

Some of the best Thai food in the GTA. The owner is always accommodating and very friendly, such a nice genuine man. The food is very flavourful but the atmosphere is pretty basic but nice. read more

Probably one of the worst restaurants I've been to. It all started with getting my order wrong. I asked for 1 pad thai, 1 shrimp tom yum soup and 1 chicken satay. I ended up getting 2 pad thai and a chicken tom yum soup. Ridiculous! The Tom yum soup was overly sweet with only 2 pieces of chicken. The pad thai was mushy, tasteless and had 1 piece of shrimp and 1 piece of chicken. Did not enjoy my meal at all. Will never come back. I dont recommend this place at all. read more

Great find! Tucked away in a little nondescript mall is this wonderful Thai Resteraunt. Really great atmosphere. We've been back several times and have never been disappointed. Highly recommend. read more

Delicious food, good service. Hot and sour soup is phenomenal! I usually call ahead for takeout ready in 10-15. The vibe is very mellow as it is tucked away in a semi industrial area. Go check it out! read more

This restaurant had some solid food at a reasonable price. This was my first time going and I ordered a curry pad thai. Came to just over $10 for a full Styrofoam container. It was heavy. And it was absolutely delicious. Came with chicken and shrimp. Full of flavor. Definitely going back. Solid food. Can't wait to try something else read more

Great food, the pad thai and curry pad thai are great options. Portion sizes are good, wait staff is friendly. The flavor is authentic and not greasy. I would definitely go back and try other options. read more

Terrible waste of time! Went in for take out, placed 2 orders told it would take 20 minutes, an HOUR later no food. When I speak with the manager he had nothing to say and provided no customer service. I advised that I was now late for an event and was given time management advice by the teenager @ the front desk! After leaving WITHOUT food I see 3 people who ordered after me walk out with their food!!!! So my husband goes back and is told our food isn't ready STILL!!!!!!!!!!!!! TERRIBLE NEVER WILL GO BACK EVER read more

THIS IS THE BEST THAI FOOD EVER! I love Thai food, and I keep an eye out for any place I haven't tried. Thai Pepper is BY FAR the best! The food is always prepared properly, and you will notice the quality ingredients. They have some plaque directly from Thailand certifying their authenticity and quality.... I thought it was a joke... but now I know why no other Thai restaurants in the GTA have one... they aren't in the same league. The decor is basic, so maybe not a place for a formal dinner or a first date... but the food is primo. Another comment I would make is that I think the owner does everything, poor guy is running around like a mad man. I've seen his family there a few times, but he needs more help to make things run smoother. Regardless he is always courteous and has a smile on his face. Those are just small details... main thing is... THE FOOD IS DELICIOUS!!! My favourite place to eat!!! read more

Really good chicken pad Thai. Very affordable and big portions! Good for sharing. They don't really have an online menu so make sure to grab one when you stop in read more

Great food, the curry was incredible!! Portions could be bigger though, but good experience overall. Nice staff.

Ordered 2 chicken curry & 2 noodles dishes. Took over 1 hour to receive the order. There were hardly any chicken pieces in both the chicken curry and portions were VERY small for the price. The noodles were very blend and mediocre at best. Would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

I had the pad Thai and it was pretty good. Only got takeout but everyone seemed friendly when I was ordering and waiting for my food. I will try this place again. read more

Oh Thai Pepper..how I wanted to like you.... Food is pretty authentic Thai. In my opinion, portions are small and lack sufficient meat. The wait staff are very professional and sweet. The biggest issue with my experience was the wait time. After sitting we waited more than 30 mins to be served while 7 take out customers were in and out. It seems priority must be given to take out...I would not return or recommend dine in, but I may return for take out --I wouldn't go out of my way. read more

By far the worst Thai food I have ever had. Never mind about the incredibly slow service, the food was horrible. Every dish tasted like the oil had gone rancid. I would not recommend this place to anyone! read more

We had family visiting on Sunday night and decided to order take out from them. Was told order would take about 30 minutes. After we placed our order and paid for it we went to food basics and had a car wash, came back to Thai pepper and was told our order was not done yet. We kept asking the girl why is it that people hat came in to eat at the resturant at the same time as we did had already finished their meal and left. She told us they ordered less food. She made a ton of excuses she the most unpleasant person I've met. We had our 1.5 year old with us waiting around but she didn't care our daughter was hungry. It took over 1.5 hours for our food to be done. By the time we got home, being a school night our family had already left. The girls only response was that its not their fault they were busy. They had 3 tables to serve. That's not busy. They obviously pushed our order back to accommodate the few sit ins they had. The owner didn't care, he ran back into the kitchen as soon as he seen us at the counter so he didn't have to deal with our complaint. My husband ask the girl you're seriously not gonna do anything about this and she goes no. It's not their problem. He then says he well never come back here again. She goes whatever. Worst restaurant experience I've had. We spent over $100 for our family to enjoy and it became a totally Waste. Terrible terrible restaurant! Their washroom smells like moth balls. The smell is so strong it literally hurt my nose. read more
