| - I've eaten at the Dobson & Guadalupe Pink Pepper for 21 years. I average going about twice a week. The buffet is a fantastic deal for the price, even though has gone up 50% in the last decade. That just indicates what a terrific deal it was in the 90's, because it's still a great deal!
The buffet has a couple of my favorite dishes, so I rarely go there for dinner (literary less than 10 times out of my 2,000+ visits). The Chicken Panang, Garlic Pork and Chicken Gra Pow are my main dishes. I have taken many people there over the years, and they all have found something they really like (the Crispy Chicken seems to be a favorite). The only downside is the dishes are not nearly as spicy as they were 10 to 20 years ago.
BTW, they do offer their dinner menu at lunch. All the time I see people ordering dishes during lunch instead of partaking in the buffet. Not sure why though, the buffet is cheaper than just about every dinner dish. With the buffet you get soup, salad, fruit, chips, wings, an array of rice and noodles, plus all 9 dinner dishes. Plus it's ready to eat!
They start bringing out the lunch buffet a little after 11:00. It's best to wait until they have brought out every item, that's usually by 11:15.
A few negative comments. They seems to have a tough time refilling empty food trays, though if you simply ask them to make more, then they will. You then get it fresh and hot in about 5 minutes. Another issue, I rarely go after 1:00, the food doesn't seem as fresh, and the trays are not getting refilled because the crowd has thinned out.
As good as this place is, and it is very good, I prefer to go to another Thai restaurant for dinner. It's 2 miles away from the PP, and a hole in the wall, but damn it's good!
