Thai Pepper Restaurant

This was my 3rd time here and it was vastly different than the other times I ate here but I probably won't be back. I arrived with some coworkers and including us there were probably 10-12 patrons there. The first thing we noticed, my coworker ordered a Coke and when he opened it there was no carbonation. The coke was completely flat so I'm not sure how old that drink was. I suspect the restaurant may be trying to avoid waste however, when you arrive at a buffet, you expect food to be available. Most pans had one or two portions of food available, and it seemed like food was being prepared in a small batches to be placed on the line. I can certainly appreciate this because it does help keep the food fresh however when the pans sit empty for 20 or more minutes something should be adjusted. There was one sad piece of carrot cake in a pan when we arrived and same one piece remained there so nobody wanted to take it. This was the middle of lunch and we still had to ask for food to be replaced in empty pans on the buffet. Buffet/ food aside, the most annoying aspect was being watched like a hawk as if we were going to steal/ leave without paying. My coworker ordered some food togo for his family and they stopped by to pick it up. The cashier came over immediately and tried to seat them at a table and she was told they weren't staying. She remained standing by our group as we greeted them then 60 seconds later she tried to take a drink order and was told again that they are not staying. She continued to hover in the area, I guess to see if they were going to eat any food off of someone's plate... I'm not really sure but she was told again they weren't staying and he reminded her he would pay for the food he ordered to go. When we finally got up to leave as he was at the register, he told her he was the one that had the Coke and the to go food and she said oh I've already already got that in a tone that appeared to indicate she wasn't going to let him get away with stealing. Maybe this restaurant could benefit from stopping the buffet option and just go to an order menu only.

Check your order if you takeout. 2nd time ordering take out and I'm disappointed wasting money on crappy food and screw up on my oder, missing an entire entre. Tried calling multiple times during an afternoon for it to be ignored. I really wanted to like this place since fist time was good, smh.

The children and broccoli is my favorite. Compliments to the Chef!!!!!

Great people and food is good and fresh

Great food . Would go again.

This place is awesome!! Everything I had was amazing. The fried pork dumplings were out of this world and paired well with the sauce. Super crunchy. Next, I honestly can’t remember what the chicken was called, but I would rate it five stars. The meat was tender, crunchy, and every bite made me want more. After the chicken was gone, have no fear, there was plenty of delicious sauce to pour over the rice. We also had a nice bottle of batter on standby near our table and we had ice cold water throughout our meal. Finally, the server was really nice and friendly.

Absolutely amazing! Food, service, atmosphere. Hidden gem. Ate, played pool, ate more. Thank you. Morgan was so kind and her other teammates.

My favorite Thai restaurant was closed so I figured we’d try a new one we haven’t tried before. I ordered the same thing I usually get and wow I was super disappointed we didn’t even finish our bowls. The Thai tea was the only thing I thought was delicious. The food wasn’t horrible it just wasn’t as flavorful as I’m used too.

Buffet and menu items same price. Buffet items ate marked, so if you don't want spice it's easy to determine what to choose.

Owner needs to learn every bad review or complaint is not a personal attack. It is just that, an experience. The back and forth and belittling of people who come and plan to return to your business is unacceptable. People are allowed to share THEIR EXPERIENCE.

I dined here while working in Fayetteville. I was not disappointed!! Ordered the udon noodles for lunch and did not fail to finish my plate. Everything was fresh and I appreciated the extra veggies in my meal. Way better than other Thai places I have tried in the area. The spicy level was perfect and the service was excellent! I will surely be back when I visit the Fayetteville area again. Thanks for a great experience!
