Very good. Very spicy. I would highly suggest this as a restaurant to try. Just if you are spice adverse tell the 0 or 1.

Really great food in an area where there really aren't a lot of options. I was in town for work and ended up eating there 5 times in a week. The food is just that good and the people are just that nice. It is often just the one guy working the floor, but he's super nice and will get to you as soon as he is finished being super nice to the other guests.

Always looking to promote and patronize local, searched Yelp for dinner, and decided on Pete's. Talking with the host, this restaurant has been around for a while. Picked their Tumeric Crepe (wasn't very hungry), a new-to-me app dish. A healthy portion of pork and popcorn-size shrimp, bean sprouts, and a rice wine vinegar for drizzling. It was very good. If I'm remembering correctly, tumeric, which has no real taste solo, lends its flavor when mixed with food; unfortunately, I'm not as experienced with the spice as I wish, as I feel like most southeast Asian restaurants seem to add it on the conservative side in the states, but the flavor profile was great. Pad Thai for the parents. They loved it. My mother remarked that the dish had a little more vinegar taste, not a strong peanut flavor, and not spicy; both gave it two thumbs up. I did get the Yellow Curry with tofu to-go to eat the next day. It was very, very good. Spiced enough to warm my mouth, and still taste the flavors. Do I wish it had a few more tofu cubes, yes, but I'm always a protein enthusiast, haha! Their menu was somewhat extensive compared; if I lived in the area, I'd assuredly be back multiple times and try more of their dishes. A great find, thanks Yelp!

Great food. Authentic Thai and service was little slow but food is great. Both red and green curry are delicious

Yummy food. We enjoyed the Tom Kha GAI and several other dishes. The Larb with ground beef did not delight, tho.

My Pad Thai was delicious. Fresh ingredients and full of flavor. I walked in and no one was there so I was very nervous. 5 min into my meal and the place started to fill up. Took a chance cuz it was 2 min walk from the Warrior Hotel. Great hotel too. Cozy beds and reasonable rates Thanks Pete. Worth the no wait time. Fj

Amazing flavors, with large portions. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Decorations were a little eclectic, but seating was comfortable and there was a lot of room. I will definitely try here again.

I like this place! Comfortable and friendly service. Food tasted great. We did have an issue with one dish but were kindly given what we ordered. I would go back and try other dishes as they have a huge selection.

Happy to find Thai food here. Pete's didn't disappoint. Admittedly I liked my friend's food better (an awesome stir fry with pad Thai sauce) but I tried something new and enjoyed the experience. The dumplings are not quite like Chinese ones. I could have done without so much thick, slimy sauce but that's just me being picky. I forced myself to give it a try and the dumplings were delicious round balls of chicken sausage. Probably won't get it again but appreciate the variety and authenticity. We shared spring rolls and they were very tasty! You get two rolls cut in half in an order. I really liked the sauce. It wasn't a super heavy peanut sauce.

Today i walked into Pete's on a whim since I was across the street visiting a friend. The atmosphere was very welcoming. It has an open layout and plenty of seating space. The service was quick and the servers were very hospitable. One was named Lily, i will be asking for her when I dine in Next. I ordered the shrimp pad Thai and am so pleased with the food that came out. I did order 'to go' so I wasn't able to have them change anything but If you aren't absolutely in Love with Bean sprouts you may ask them to go easy on that part. But otherwise it was very tasty and fresh. I will be returning!
