There's not a lot to be said that was missed in 104 reviews but... I have to give my props. This place is AWESOME! Warning though: every 1 entree will feed 2 people. No, I'm not kidding. And the food is good... especially those lil fried cheese appetizer things.
We were with a group of 10 and everyone loved their meal. The only things I'd not order next time are the corn cakes, spring rolls and satay (which is weird but other things were so much better). Anything with calamari was great and I especially loved the fish curry... and everything really!
See ya there!

I have discovered my favorite Thai place in the Bay Area!
A big group of us went to Thai Pepper for a friend's birthday and the general consensus at the table was that everything we ordered was wonderful. I personally ordered the Yellow Curry with Prawns, and this was definitely the best version I've had. I enjoyed the Pad Thai with Pork, although it wasn't my favorite version, I prefer it with stronger flavors, but it was still good. I can't remember what all everyone else got, but the general consensus among the 9 of us was that it was a most enjoyable dinner.

Like a few other reviews, I will agree that the service here is a hit or miss which is why my rating has dropped to a 2 star - some days your water glass is refilled w/out even having to ask, other days you find yourself walking over to the pitcher to fill your own damn glass or poking your head into the kitchen to ask for a 5th time where your steamed rice is.
The stand out dishes are the pineapple fried rice and basil prawns or chicken (or even tofu for that matter, can't go wrong w/ this dish at all except if there's too much fish sauce which I've experienced at other joints).
If they walk you to the back of the restaurant, do not sit in the booth beneath the A/C vent - you freeze to death!
So, I've been to this restaurant multiple times, and i absolutely love it! The ingredients are fresh and the service/staff are very friendly, although during lunch times it can be rather busy, and are waiting sometimes for awhile to get service or your check. Other that that, i would def. recommend this restaurant, especially for their curries, sticky rice and mango dessert and Pad Thai.
below average thai food.
I've been here about five or six times and I've been let down each time. :(
The one thing I like about his place is their coconut soup. Other than that, THUMBS DOWN. =(
I'm a die hard Thai Pepper fan. I order it at least once every 2 months for meetings at work and I've been doing it for almost 3 years. Their portions are fantastic and pricing perfect for our budget. It works out to be about $10 a person for lunch and people love it! I always get great feedback on the food when it's from Thai Pepper. I also heart this restaurant because when I order from them I know they're going to deliver on time and deliver the food I order.
Our favorite dishes from here when ordering catering for work:
Green Curry - ok, all the curries are good
Cashew Duck - big hit
Basil Chicken
Som Tom Salad
imperial rolls
Saute mixed veggies
I also go to the restaurant to eat on my personal time and we love:
tom yum shrimp soup (hot) - I can just eat this and rice all day
Cashew Duck
crab fried rice
pinapple fried rice
appetizer sampler plate
some kind of chicken wings forgot the name - they were good!!!
drunken noodles
Thai Tea!
Eggplant
Yum, we just had them for a meeting this afternoon but typing this out has made me start craving it again.
Comment about eating at the restaurant itself. Sometimes they're short staffed so service can be a bit slower, but they do their best.
the back of the menu has a vegetarian section !! and the food is pretty good
We have frequented this restaurant for dinner quite a bit, and have found that there are a few shining star dishes, while others we have learned to avoid. The service is hit and miss, and surprisingly, it's often faster on nights when they are full.
The presentation is usually very nice, with radish "roses" for garnish, and ornate, fish shaped, platters. They used to serve the Pineapple Fried Rice in a tinfoil "origami" swan, but I think the person who knew how to do this is no longer there.
The portions are large and we usually end up with leftovers, which taste great the next day! We like spicy, so we usually ask for the Thai Hot or Thai Medium depending on what we're having.
Hits--
- I love their steamed lemon calamari! I am very picky when it comes to seafood... I hate chewy, overdone, or fishy. I have ordered this numerous times, and am always happy. It's light and flavorful (a hint of cilantro perhaps?), and at Thai Medium, it has enough spicy peppers to balance it.
- The Coconut Soup (Tom Kha) is good at Thai Med and Thai Hot.
- Basil Lamb or Chicken has a wonderfully strong basil taste.
- Rama Chicken (spinach and peanut sauce) is one of my husband's favorites.
- The curries are good. Some are a bit runnier than others, but they are usually quite flavorful.
- Duck... we had the Duck that was on the chef's special, and it was VERY rich!
- Thai Iced tea... hard to go wrong with this one.
- Brown Rice is also available if you want it. (Not authentic Thai perhaps, but it's a nice option.)
Misses--
- We've tried the Pad Thai a couple of times--not the best that we've had.
- Jasmine tea... they serve their tea in coffee cups with tea bags. Unfortunately, the cups are quite thick and cold, so the water is lukewarm at best when it arrives.
- There are a few more we avoid, but I would have to look at the menu...
They've messed up our orders sometimes, or forgotten things, which keeps them from being higher than a three star rating. Although, they have been known to surprise you with a free fried banana and ice cream (tasty) when they think they've let you down.
They do enough dishes right for us to keep coming back, and we know that when we go, we may be there for awhile.
Typically speaking we yelpers visit a place we don't like exactly once. We race back to our computer with one or two star fingers ablaze and unleash our yelp furry on the place that left us short of culinary climax. Too often our one dish of glop, on one day, from one of their cooks and one of their servers is not indicative of a bad place, but just a bad meal.
Yet... Thai Pepper is not a bad one night stand with a restaurant I never should have eaten at in the first place... Its a forced bad relationship with a place my friends are just too sure I should be with. Again and again we go back there for lunch... and again and again I get lunch specials that are way too sweet, the spice tastes like it was just stirred in at the end rather than cooked in, really some of the worst Thai food I have had in the area (and there is plenty of lackluster Thai food to be had as it quickly chases down Chinese as the most Americanized and tasteless Asian cuisine).
Take it from somebody that knows, stay away from this one. And if you go, and you see me in a booth with tears in my eyes, those are not tears of spicy joy, they are me wishing I could cut out the middleman and dump this food directly to the pot.

I have to be honest, I had never tried Thai food until last week and I wasn't sure if I would like it for no real reason at all. But I am glad to say I really enjoyed it. My friend and I ordered way too much food, even though it didn't seem like it would be as much as we thought it would be. I tried the pineapple friend rice (came in what looked like a giant ceramic boat!) chicken curry, and pad thai. I can't judge how good the good was because I have never had thai before, but for a first experience I enjoyed it. Although I was a little disappointed when we asked for the curry spicy and it came out mild. Maybe it is because I'm only half asian and I look really white, she must have thought I couldn't handle what spicy is, or maybe it's just not that spicy. Overall it was a pretty decent meal and I was excited to try something new.

A place i would like to forget. I would have already if i hadn't bookmark this place for review.
First the lay out of the place is unique to say the least. The kitchen is completely viewable and you end up smelling like the food you ordered and the food other people ordered. The food was decent but nothing to write home about. The service was in slo-mo.
Sorry Thai Pepper..never again.
So I came here today for dinner. After all the yelp reviews and just verbal reviews, I thought I would check it out. I was really disappointed.
I got white spiced ... again. WTF? Why the hell ask if you are just going to disregard what I say after looking at me and give me a honey glazed sauce.
Aside from the spice or lack there of, I ordered the basil chicken wings with a beer. My friend ordered a vegetarian curry and some brown rice. So after a while we wait and wait. And then our food comes and they sort of just plopped the food on the table and walked away. No confirmation, no real hello this is your food. Just a person a plate, then the person vanished.
It was the wrong order and when we tried to signal someone they made eye contact and walked away. WTF? Finally when we got all the stuff straightened out it was by the hostess. Really weird. Since it wasn't even that busy. The food was good however I really don't think I would come back because of the service alone.

Just excellent soup I must say.
Didn't try anything else to judge otherwise.
Service was as expected. Very clean place too.
I didn't come for the pepper, I came for the cuisine and I left happy. My only complaint is that they are a tad slow with the service. Will come back again.
Thai Pepper used to be one of our favorite places to eat during lunch cause we went to school right across the street but after a while it just isn't as good as it used to be. The other night my husband and I had ordered take out. We ordered and order of Prawn Pad Thai, 2 orders of MEDIUM SPICY Prawn Fried Rice and an order of their lemon pepper calamari. I had ordered over the phone and my husband and brother went to go pick up our order. It was around dinner so they left the house 20 minutes after I placed the order when the man on the phone had said 15 minutes. I like to give them extra time cause who likes waiting at the restaurant for your food? So my husband walks in and he says "I'm here to pick up under Christine" and the guy says "Oh, oh yes, sit down". Our food was on the counter waiting but he still had my brother and husband sit and wait. WEIRD?!? With no offer of water, or soup or anything. Just sit to sit.. that's a little odd. HAHA. So they sat and decided to order Thai Tea to atleast make their wait worth something. Came home and I eagerly opened up the take out. (I'm pregnant so I was reeeeaaalllyyy craving thai!!) Opened up my fried rice, took a bite and it wasn't even spicy! No hint of spice AT ALL. I ordered medium cause Thai HOT might have been a little too hot and the heart burn isn't that great when you're eggo is preggo. My prawns were overcooked and there were maybe 4 prawns in the whole thing. I've had this numerous times before and they are usually pretty generous with prawns regardless of take out or not! I've had better Pad Thai and the lemon pepper calamari was OKAY. It was my first time trying it after reading a review for it and I wasn't impressed. It tasted like ceviche! Other than that, the best thing out of this whole experience was the Thai Iced Tea. MMMMM I loved it but like every other place that serves Thai Tea there was way too much ice!
It was waaay better 2 years ago when I was in highschool but maybe i'll give them a second chance in a month or two.
After much sitting around and back-n-forth wondering what to do post-DYK hike, the last of the Mohicans finally decided to go eat here.
One unnamed hiker mentioned her terrible luck with conveying to Thai restaurants her request for "Thai spicy" hot. She said it always comes out too sweet. But however when her husband, who is Thai, orders here that the food is indeed hot and fully flavorful like the Thai gods envisioned.
We ordered. She said to the waiter, "Make it Thai hot." I reiterated, "Hey make it hot, her husband is Thai." Food came. It wasn't Thai hot. It wasn't even American hot. It was maybe Siberia in the wintertime hot. Yes, it was not hot.
Hey waiter buddy, next time, PED MAAG!!!
Thanks,
Wannabe Thai Bry

I expect a lot when it comes to Thai food and I tend to judge all Thai restaurants by the standards set by dining at some of the best restaurants in Los Angeles. Maybe that's a little harsh at times but it might give you an idea where I'm coming from.
I started off with the tod mun appetizer, which is a fried fish cake. The key to good tod mun is the freshness of the fish paste. Some of the best tod mun I've ever had have been along the seaside towns in Thailand, where they start with very fresh products and you can enjoy these savory treats at the beach. There should be a chewiness to each bite, which these tod mun had. Mixed into the fish paste are usually pieces of kaffir lime and green beans with a red curry overtone. I wish there were a little bit more green beans in these little guys, but overall they were not bad. The sweet chili sauce served with this dish was a little thicker than what I'm used to and it is probably a bottled version.
For soup, I had the Po Tak, which was served with a lot of wonderful seafood. It was nicely seasoned and used a lot of lemon grass. The broth itself, in terms of flavor, was good but I maybe would have preferred it to be more intense.
I had the special pompano which is a deep fried fish served with a sweet-sour sauce topped with various vegetables. In terms of Thai-ness, the chefs do have the flavors right for this dish.
I also had the panang beef. This was rather disappointing. It was diluted curry. Real panang should not be watery or overly cooked with coconut milk, as this one was. You should be able to feel the intensity of the curry and appreciate some of its components (kaffir lime, garlic, galangal).
The other thing I want to note about this restaurant, and it is a pet-peeve with almost all Thai restaurants in the bay area, is that there is conformity in the menu. You really miss out on the range and technicality that goes into really authentic and unique Thai cuisine. The cuisine here really focuses on food from Central Thailand and is geared for everyday eats, not for those who are adventurous for something more.
To summarize, at least with the dishes I had, Thai Pepper is better than some of the other Thai restaurants I've been to so far in the bay area because it does approach the Thai flavors well, though I wish it would go a step further and really hit me with the intensity that I crave in Thai cooking.

Love the rounded building with a little garden in the center.
I can not believe I have never been here in the past 8 months since it's close to my work. Since it's lunch time, I went for Lunch Special served from 11AM-3PM with salad and soup of the day. Surprisingly, there are 20 lunch special are all $6.95, no matter it's veg, chicken, beef, prawn, squid, or fish.
Heard that their dinner is not bad at all and prices are pretty ok. I surely will check their dinner in the future.

UPDATE: I'm knocking off a star, because our last meal was a major disappointment. They fed us Ameri-Thai. Nothing was spicy like we'd specified. Sadly, my search for an authentic Thai restaurant that consistently serves it "ped" shall continue.
.................................................. .................................................. ...
We MAY have found our new favorite Thai restaurant in the neighborhood.
Food is quite delicious because of the THAI HOTNESS. Our mouths are still BURNING, and we love it. We fully enjoyed our gayang (BBQ chicken), seafood salad, curry and ginger chicken. A big plus for having brown rice, too. I tried the "po tak" for the first time. It's like tom yum soup full of seafood...except less sweet and more limey. I'd order it again. The barbeque chicken was as delicious as always.

I paid almost $20 for a meal with three others...which included spring rolls, tom yum soup, pad thai, seafood curry and fried banana w/ice cream. Would I do it again? O heck yes. It's hard to be disappointed by this place.
Be careful about the spiciness levels. The soup came "spicy" and I couldn't drink one sip without following it with a few gulps of water. My solution was to pour half my water glass and rice into my bowl of soup...ah much better!

I was really craving some Tom Ka Gai . I prefer the soupy part over having so much chicken floating around, and the waitress was easily able to make that happen. It was perfect!
The restaurant is kind of weird looking inside when you walk in, but they have this cute little circular courtyard area in the middle of the restaurant that's very green. It's nice if you can get a seat next to that while waiting for your pad thai to come out.

Ok, first for anyone wondering about the interior; this placed used to be a funky old style coffee shop called Peter Pan's. When Thai Pepper moved in they did minimal re-decorating, mostly just putting up some Thai style decorations. Hence the odd shape and funky booths.
Second, is it just me or has Thai food in the Valley gotten to be pretty generic. Heck, just look at the lunch menu's from these places. I honestly think they are the exact same thing just with different logos at the top. I think I could taste the same dish from 10 different Thai places and not be able to tell the difference. Well, maybe a subtle difference but nothing that would really set one apart as being so much better than the other.
Anyhow, that being said, "generic Thai" is still pretty darn tasty and Thai Pepper doesn't disapoint. It's close to my work and is usually the go-to place when we're in the mood for Thai. I don't think I've ever gotten anything here I disliked. The Basil Pork (chiken/beef/tofu) is one of my favorites. The green papya salad is pretty yummy too. So, if you don't have time to make it yourself (Thai food is really pretty easy) Thia Pepper is a good choice.

One of the best thai places i've ever been. Everything was delicious. Huge servings, cheap prices, and fast service.
The pad thai was nice and chewy. Very fresh tasting and had nice texture. The tom yum soup....SOOO GOOD! A perfect blend of sweet and sour and they used real button mushrooms (none of those nasty canned things). Definitely a place i'd re-visit.
There are a lot of Thai restuarants out there now, but I like Thai pepper which has been here for many years. Great prices for lunch specials, but dinner is also really good and good price. Food is presented really well in addition to tasting good.

The reason why I drive past this place so many times en route to the gym without even the slightest curiosity to try (and I always try everything once) is because the signage is so uninteresting and unoriginal.
The food is anything but. Try the crab fried rice, catfish curry and gai yang - Thai BBQ chicken with sweet chili plum sauce. Don't bother with the imperial rolls (it's just a rendition of Chinese spring rolls).
Enjoy the hospitality in the most unlikely setting - the interior looks like a Thai-ized (if that word didn't previously exist, I just created it) American diner with booths and stools.
Be pleasantly surprised. I sure did.
I found this restaurant courtesy of Yelp. My friend and I wanted Thai, and after a bit of browsing, I decided that Thai Pepper looked pretty promising. As soon as we got out of the car, I could smell the delectable aroma of Thai food. Mmm. We walked in and were quickly seated by a window. I decided that I was pretty hungry so we went with the vegetarian appetizer that included fried tofu, tempura, corn cakes, and spring rolls. The appetizer platter was HUGE. The tempura had a good variety of vegetables, but it was a little too doughy for my taste and didn't provide enough crunch. The corn cakes were a little strange.. too sweet. The spring rolls were good as was the fried tofu. The fried tofu had a nice crunch, which is what I look for primarily (I've had chewy fried tofu, which is pretty disgusting).
Yeah, I thought I was hungry, but I was pretty stuffed after that appetizer. Then our main entrees came out, and again, they were HUGE. My friend's Pad-See-Ew with beef look like it could have fed two or three people. I had to box half my peanut curry since I simply could not stuff any more into my stomach even after sitting in the restaurant for over an hour. My friend highly enjoyed his Pad-See-Ew. My curry was pretty good although I was hoping that there would be more of a peanut taste. The coconut milk overpowered any sort of peanut flavor, and there were only like 5 peanut on the bottom of my dish. In general, it was pretty good though -- the tofu was nice and soft, the potatoes and carrots were cooked. I guess in general, it's hard to mess up curry.
So, in short, this restaurant was pretty good. HUGE portions, huge selection on the menu, and good prices. It was no wonder that even on a Thursday evening, this restaurant was still relatively full. My one large problem with this restaurant was the service. We were sitting there for half an hour to an hour, just waiting and digesting the humongous portion of food that we ate. I don't know.. maybe our waiter forgot about us? Maybe he knew we would be so full that we really wouldn't want to get up? Anyway, if it were possible, I'd give this restaurant 3.5 stars, but I'll round up to 4 instead of rounding down to 3 because I feel like despite the slow service, I would still re-visit.
Sunnyvale has a handful of good Thai restaurants scattered around. All I have to say is if you get me the BBQ beef from here...I'll love you for the rest of the day!! Friendly and good service. I stop by here once a week for dinner right after leaving the 24 hour fitness across the street.

Been eating at this place for a few years and seen its down and up cycles. It's now quite packed on weekends for dinner. Particularly like the green curry, Panang curry and basil chicken.
Yum!
Had dinner here for the second time last night. Got there at prime dinner time iso it was packed, although we didn't have to wait more than a minute or two for a table.
We started off with the Tom Kha soup - Thai Hot, but really, it wasn't that spicy. However, it was definitely delicious!
Other orders for the evening were prix khing (Thai Hot) and spicy chicken (Thai Hot) and I am happy to say that those dishes definitely lived up to their name. Delicious .... and Thai hot!! I didn't order Pad Thai this time, but have in the past and thought it was very good.
The decor is a little strange - you can tell it used to be a diner/cafe of some sort and the booth seating sems a little strange, but since the decor doesn't take away from the taste of the food, it didn't bother me. If anything, it lended itself to some dinner conversation as my friend and I tried to figure out what kind of place was here before it became Thai Pepper.
I also love that this place is about a 5 minute drive from my house.
Looking forward to going back ..... Try it, you'll like it!

This is by far our favorite Thai restaurant! We go here almost every weekend. Most of the staff recognize us, and will give us a discount or a free dessert.
The decor is a bit strange, because the restaurant is housed in an old hamburger diner, but the round architecture, atrium with lush green plants, and thai accents make this an interesting place. Parking is usually easy, unless the nearby Fremont High School will have an event.
The food is great. They have a large vegetarian selection, but there are many options for the meat and fish lovers as well. Our favorite dishes are the curry dishes, Pad See-ew noodles, Cashew Chicken, and Ginger Sea Bass (Pla Supparod). The Rama Chicken (with steamed spinach and awesome peanut sauce) is also excellent, and their Tom Kha soup (with coconut milk and lemon grass) is superb. We always order the Chicken Satay skewers as an appetizer, which comes with their tasty peanut sauce and a little fresh cucumber salad.
The food can be spicy, even if you order mild, so make sure you order very mild if you cannot handle spicy food.
We have used this place for take out and catering as well, and have never been disappointed.

You can't go wrong with the royal prawn rolls, which were delicious, and pad thai (that staple of all thai restaurants), and sure to try the Silver noodle salad jay - that was pretty good. However, I wasn't satisfied with their chicken.I tried the cashew chicken, and the chicken tasted weird - it almost tasted like lamb. I mean, isn't chicken, or any mystery meat supposed to take like chicken? And yet, the meat that looked like chicken and smelled like chicken definitely didn't taste like chicken. Either what I was eating wasn't chicken, or it was extremely tough and overcooked. Ah well, I'm willing to try this place again.

Wonderful Thai food with great service. We are always seated promptly in this funky, old, crescent-moon shaped restaurant with some of the best Thai food in the Valley.
Try their curries, ground chicken and beef plates - delicious! Prices are very reasonable and only once did we have a little issue with take-out where there was hardly any meat in the order. We've been here dozens of times and are always treated great.

Next to Krung Thai, Thai pepper was one of my favorites also. I prefer thai pepper for dinner because they have good family meal type dishes. To me their chicken satay is better also. After a while though, it seems as though they got new chefs because their sweet and spicy fish didn't taste the same anymore. It's still good but not as good as before. The interior is also nice too, it looks very authentic and theres this cute little green house thing in the middle of the restaurant.
If I could eat here everyday I would. The staff is so nice, the interior is old but clean.
Things I have tried and liked:
Panang Beef
Prawn Curry
Shrimp fried rice
Green Papaya salad
Cashew Chicken
Vegetarian Pad Thai
Chicken Satay
yum.

Thai food here is great! This is where I usually go if there's guests in town or if someone is craving Thai food. Attentive service and never a wait for a table.
The usual popular dishes such as Pad Thai, Pad Se-ew or Pineapple Fried Rice are all made well. Besides the general selections most people are used to, they offer all curries as well as various dishes that are pretty tasty. Garlic shrimp was a pretty memorable dish that I had here before.
I always come out of here with a huge food coma. Must... stop..overeating.

This is the best Thai food I have ever had. I've been there many times and can say that both the food and the service are great. The whole place is very nice and feels authentic. One of my friends is vegetarian and was pleased with how many options she had and how tasty it was. I tried many of the vegetarian dishes also and I have to say they are very good. This is a great place to go to with friends or family. Check it out, you'll love it too!
3.5 Stars
Pro's:
-REALLY good curry! I recommend getting chicken instead of beef because the beef tends to be overcooked.
-Crispy Basil Chicken Wings. A sweet and tasty sauce over fried chicken wings. Mmm...
-Thai Ice Tea: They add the perfect amount of tea and half and half.
-Tom Yum Soup is pretty good but watch out if you get it spicy. They put in tons of small chili peppers so watch out for them before you end up accidentally biting into one. I made that mistake!
Con's:
-Garlic Steak: The NY Steak was way too dry and chewy. My jaws started hurting from chewing so much.
-Overcooked beef in the massaman curry. The curry was good but the beef was way too chewy.
-Decor: This crescent shaped restaurant wasn't designed to win you over with its looks.
Overall, the food and price was decent. For better Thai food, I recommend going to the New Krung Thai in Santa Clara.

Located across the street from Fremont High School and 24 Hour Fitness in Sunnyvale. My three friends and I decided to eat here. Were seated promptly, wasn't super packed on a Thursday night at around 8:00pm. There were probably 2-3 couples and 2 huge groups. We were seated next to a window and you can see inside some garden area, I thought it was a smoking area at first lol...but it was just for decoration, I think they could make use of that space and make it into a private dining area. Their menu is extensive, tons of curry and chicken dishes. We ordered satay chicken, two Thai iced teas, a spicy sauteed seafood mix (server recommendation), yellow pork curry (wanted to try something besides chicken, since we already had chicken in our other dishes), pad thai with chicken, beef pad see ew, and white rice for $57 bucks (including tip, we had a 15% off coupon...yes I'm a bargain hunter). Iced tea was perfect...satay was succulent, peanut sauce complimented the satay well. Portions are pretty big here...at least for the pad thai, pad see ew, and seafood mix. I'm not even a huge fan of fish, scallops, and squid, but I still managed to eat some of the seafood mix. The pad thai was great, not super orange like I've seen at some places. Service was good too, one of the best Thai places I've had.

Came up to Nor Cal over the weekend to see my dentist. He recommended this place based on previous lunch specials. Though I came here on a Saturday with no lunch specials in sight, I was delighted to be seated and ordered right away upon opening at 11am.
Yes, the pineapple fried rice with shrimp was good and very good portions ($9.95). We also ordered the BBQ Chicken (I believe it was $7.95 for 5 good sized pieces). The Pad See Eu ($7.95) and the another fried rice (also $7.95). (Chicken and Pork with the fried rice or noodles are $7.95 while getting the shrimp would be $9.95 according to the menu.) I wasn't able to order my curry, which I usually order as my litmus test for Thai restaurants. However, with the food prices and the portions as well as the taste, it is above average. I would give this place 4.5 stars and I will have to come back next time to try the other dishes.
