OK, I have been to Peep several times and have always enjoyed the food and drink...
Last night I went there with a friend who endured a long (crazy long) travel day. We arrived on a Thursday night at 10:15 and were quickly told the kitchen is closing soon and we had about an hour.. No problem, Thai is quick.
As soon as we sat down we were asked several times if we knew what we wanted.. We kept asking for a minute as we didnt even get to open the menu. We order drinks. Julies drink seemed perfect (looked fruity), my drink came wrong... No damage so we moved on..
We order. Appetizer comes in like four minutes.. Uhg.. We eat. Entree comes literally 3 minutes once we finish appetizer. Total time in place was like 25 mins at this point.
So.... We start eating and we are told the bartender wants to go home... OK, I am seeing this movie and already know the ending. We order another round. For the SECOND time I tell them "No Lime". Julie's drink came correct but she even told me (almost bet me) that they would mess it up.. Well... THERE WAS A DAMN LIME.. Dude, I hate lime. No, I detest lime. As soon as the drink was on the table I removed the lime from the tainted drink and plunked it in the water glass. I wish the splash landed on the waiter.....
OK so we are finishing our drink and than the waiter tells us we have to leave as they want to close.... I was like what???? We were 86thd. Anyhow I couldn't believe it. I mean we were like rushed in and out...
Sadly the food was good but I cant get past the crappy service.... If I were with one of my usual suspects I wouldn't have left but I was cool about it. Sadly I gave a 20% tip (looked at receipt this am). Why??
Anyway, good food and shty service results in the famous.... "Lifetime Ban"
Pros: ?????
Cons: Rude Staff, Bartender that doesn't listen...

Peep has one of the best lunch specials I've found in the city. For $7 you can get an appetizer of dumplings, or salad, or one of their other many yummy bites, and then an entree of curry or noodles with your choice of protein. You may laugh at the name, but try the face towel noodle. It is addictive. It is delicious. I miss it enormously now that I work in midtown! Seriously, I don't know how they make the face towel noodle sauce but I have to eat it with chopsticks just to make it last longer. The face towel noodle is also available for dinner, when it is served with shellfish. They are very flexible to dietary needs though -- just tell them if you only want chicken, or tofu, or don't want egg.
Peep also has good if slightly expensive cocktails -- like a strawberry mojito-type drink.
Pros: Face towel noodle
Cons: Dark bathrooms

Pros: Food, Decor, Prices

I thought the food was about as good as the any thai take out in the city. The pink theme does not equal chic, sorry. It looks just plain tacky to me. Finally, the tables are way too crowded. (a woman almost sat on my dinner as she was leaving) and the staff was expedient only when collecting our check and kicking us out.
Pros: cheap
Cons: non-chalant food, bad service, tight spaces

I actually had the pleasure of dining at Peep. It's an interesting atmosphere to say the least. Being a fellow Thai-American myself, I have to say the food is not exactly "Thai" since it is catered more towards Americans. Although, they still maintain some of the "Flavor Authenticity". Nice place to visit for dinner but lunch... FUHHGETABBOUTIT!!!! It's a maddhouse. Can't reccommend delivery either, unless you order ahead 2 hours, you just might get it by lunch time.

Peep is a great place for lunch in the SoHo area. You get a lot for less than $10, especially in a group. And since it's one of the hottest spots in SoHo it also means it usually crowded. It's very hard to get a lunch reservation for a large party after 1pm and expect to be rushed out of the restaurant once the crowds get busy in the evenings. Service can be good, but for the most part I'd strongly suggest going for their lunch specials.
The food is very good, just enough to fill you up if you get an appetizer as well. The decor is very trendy and most people don't leave without using the bathroom at least once. If you have a phobia about possibly being watched than I wouldn't suggest going here.
Pros: Good food, great spot for lunch meetings, decent price
Cons: Gets crowded very quickly so your servers may rush you after you eat

You know when a place is named after its restrooms it can't have much else going for it. The food is okay, but the portions are small and overpriced. Seating is very uncomfortable. Once we were seated at a long, bar-like table with seats that were little more than rubber bands stretched over metal...strange and painful! Bright, loud, and obnoxious. If you really must see the bathrooms with the transparent (from the inside) doors, go on ahead.
Pros: Interesting, though somewhat obnoxious atmosphere
Cons: Overpriced, uncomfortable seating, small portions

I went there couple times for dinner and lunch specials... Food was good, not too impressive, but it was good enough. The atmosphere is cool. I wasn't impressed with their bathroom. Bar 89's bathroom is more cool. Since this place is not too crowded, I was able to enjoy the food and have some conversation with my friends.
Pros: atmosphere

I've been to Peep twice and both were great experiences. Its trendy, upbeat atmosphere creates a vibe that enhances the dining experience in such a way that everything you talk about at dinner seems that much more interesting. The appetizers are awesome and the fish entrees are always fresh and have a unique flare. The best part is that everything is priced very reasonably; therefore, you get a trendy NYC experience without paying typical prices. Also the service was great and the hostess was very friendly. Great Mojitos too!
