| - My girlfriend and I stop into Pete's close to once a week as we cannot get enough of it. We usually start off with either one of the egg rolls (I like the fried ones and she likes the fresh ones). We always get a soup, we've tried them all, but like the coconut soup the best and have strictly ordered that the last few times. For main courses, she always orders the Pad Thai, usually with chicken and shrimp, I rotate between the spicy noodles with basil, rad-nah, and the big fresh noodles.
The food is the reason we constantly come back, but like other Yelpers have stated, the service is pretty bad. Robert, while we like him, seems to get lost, even though there are only 8-10 tables. When Pu was there, it wasn't as bad and while they hired another waitress, she only works a few nights. We have gotten used to the service though and know we need to get there an hour or so before we want to eat and we ask for a pitcher of water at our table.
I have been there for the buffet once, the price is very good and it can be a good introduction or expansion of your thai tastes. I had never tried the different varieties of curry and this give me that opportunity. Overall, the buffet is certainly worth trying out.
As for the heat levels, Robert is very good at explaining that Pete runs about 1 level hotter than other thai places. While this is good, the heat levels vary from day to day. I always order a 4; my girlfriend orders a 1 or 0. There have been some instances where my 4 has had little to no heat and there have been instances where I ended up sweating, same with my girlfriend. In fact, there was even a time where I tried her 1 and thought it was more in the range of a 4. Keep in mind, if it is not spicy enough, there is a chili bar and you can add some prik nam pla for that added kick.
Overall, of the 15-20 times we've eaten here, we've only walked away disappointed once, which happened to be a few days ago. We took our close friend there for dinner, ordered the coconut soup, he ordered the spicy noodles with basil and steak at a 4, my girlfriend ordered the pad-thai with tofu and shrimp at a 1, and I ordered the big fresh noodles with chicken at a 4. The soup was amazing as usual, however, the dinners came out a little wonky. His dish was fine, but my girlfriends dish came out with chicken and shrimp instead of tofu and my dish came out with the tofu instead of chicken. We sent them back and got new dishes fairly quickly, however, these ones came out at 0s. To the chili bar, we went and added some spice, then all was fine. This one incident won't hurt our decision to return though, since, we hadn't experience problems the other times.
