    mango & sticky rice SUNDAE
    Cynthia A.

    This place is amazing. Everything is always fresh. Some of my favorite dishes have been the Pad see ew, pad Thai and what is great about this place is you can choose the spicy level. The skirt steak and garlic rice are also so delicious. You can't forget the dessert I love getting the mango sticky rice when it's available I believe it's seasonal due to the mangoes. Wait time just depends on how busy they are since they cook everything when ordered and always so fresh and warm. Service is good overall.

    I've been here twice and they've been consistently amazing. The food is great, the service is quick, and the overall food hall is clean. My only complaint is they took their fried wings off the menu...consider this my official submission to bring them back!

    Yellow curry and crispy shrimp.

    Excellent. Piping hot. Spiced right and full of amazing flavor. Fast efficient service. It inside a cool little food market featuring different outlets offering food from different countries.

    Tomyum Fried Rice with Chicken
    Airi G.

    I would 100% be a regular here if I lived closer. This small business takes great care and precision in providing quality food, which comes at a price of a longer wait. It's worth it, though, unless you're someone who gets hangry. I ordered the tomyum fried rice with grilled chicken because I've only ever tried it as a soup and I wasn't disappointed by this creative twist. It retained the original aromatic ingredients and the rice was piping hot and fluffy.  I also loved the green curry with skirt steak. It's a hefty portion that will leave you stuffed afterwards, in a good way. There's plenty of vegetables in there and the balance of curry and rice is accurate. There's plenty of tables in the food hall to enjoy your food fres, which I recommend, but you can also easily take it to go.

    Pad Thai

    Overall: 3 stars, food was alright. Service was nice and food came out quickly. Price is relatively high which didn't help with the food not being the best. The Service: Service was nice, the person taking my order was able to answer any questions I had. Food came out in about 10 minutes. Would be nice if there was a buzzer since I had seating further away so I would have to walk back to check on if my food was ready. The Food: Pad Thai w/ BBQ pork - Level 1 spice. I appreciate that they have different spice levels. The Pad Thai seemed overly sauced and too sweet for my taste. It was hard to eat because it felt like too much. The BBQ pork was nice and fatty and complemented the noodles well. Tom Yum Soup - Portion size was rather large - I was a bit thrown off since they asked if I wanted a protein so I chose Tofu and it added an extra $3 to the cost of the soup...The menu wasn't very clear that it was an extra charge. Soup was alright, I wish the tom yum flavor was stronger! Price: Pretty expensive - for the two items I ordered, it came out to be almost $40! The Atmosphere: Locate in Rodeo 72 so it is very busy and bustling. There is plenty of seating indoors and outdoors so would be good for large groups. Parking: Located in a big shopping center but Rodeo 72 is quite busy so you may have to park a bit further away.

    thai spiced tater tots - yummy
    Marri M.

    First time at Kra Pow Thai @ Rodeo 72, and wow -- what a flavorful adventure! I went with the shrimp Pad Thai (medium spicy), and it did not disappoint. The noodles were perfectly cooked, super fragrant, and had that signature tangy-sweet balance that makes your taste buds do a little happy dance. The shrimp? Huge, crispy, and fresh -- generous portion too, so points for that! Now, the garlic rice... eh, not my favorite of the night. A bit underwhelming compared to the star power of everything else on the plate. But the Thai spicy tater tots totally stole the spotlight -- crispy, crunchy, and with just the right amount of heat. That aioli dipping sauce? Chef's kiss. The menu is calling me back already -- next round, I've got my eye on the garlic skirt steak bowl, a comforting green curry, and maybe a plate of Pad See Ew. If everything's as good as that Pad Thai, I might become a regular here real quick.

    Chicken pad Thai medium hot

    I bought the pad Thai chicken medium spicy, it has a good kick, not to mild or spicy. It's delicious

    PINEAPPLE FRIED RICE

    So glad this Kra Pow opened a location in Whittier. Best pineapple fried rice in Whittier.

    Pad see ew with chicken
    Jasmine L.

    I've tried a few places in Rodeo, but honestly never found any real gems, so I hadn't been back for a while. I decided to give this spot a try today since the reviews looked decent, and I ordered the Pad See Ew. The portion was bigger than I expected, and I like that you can choose your spice level. I went with level 3, and since I enjoy spicy food, it was just right for me. Honestly, I didn't have high expectations, but this turned out to be a great Pad See Ew spot! I'll definitely be coming back.

    Pad Kee Mao (with bbq pork), Tom Kha Soup (chicken) and Tom Yum Fried Rice (also w/bbq pork)
    Briana K.

    We absolutely love Krapow! The Pad Kee Mao (drunken noodles) is an absolute must!! I get mine with the barbecue pork, and it's so good that I almost can't imagine coming here and not ordering it. The Tom Kha soup is also outstanding. It's a dish that I order virtually every time I have Thai food, and theirs is truly one of the best (if not THE best) I have ever had. This time around, we also tried the Tom Yum Fried Rice, also with barbecue pork. Insane! Another dish we will have trouble not ordering every time! The portions are super generous (big plates for a very reasonable price!), the flavors are authentic, and you can really tell they use fresh, quality ingredients. Even though there are other restaurants at Rodeo 72 we've been wanting to try, it's hard to imagine choosing anywhere else when we know Krapow is there! Could not recommend this spot more!

    Party Trays of Chicken Pad See Ew & Chicken Thai Basil Fried Rice

    A big thank you to Rusty, the owner of Kra Pow! She is so nice and accommodating. I reached out to her during after hours, and she responded quickly when I had an inquiry about placing an order for an upcoming family gathering. After going over the menu, I decided to order party trays of chicken pad see ew and chicken basil fried rice. I let her know that one of my family members has a seafood allergy, and while I was initially nervous about cross-contamination, my concerns disappeared when I saw Rusty at pickup. It made me feel like she was there to ensure that everything was done properly and on time. Our interaction was brief since I was running late, but it was such a pleasure to meet her. She even went out of her way to lend me her reusable tote to carry the party trays. Literally the best service! As for the food, everyone enjoyed it which says a lot given my family's Thai background. Everything tasted good. I will definitely consider using Kra Pow again for future events and suggest you do too!

    Pad see Ew Beef

    This is the latest Thai food addition to the West Whittier in 2025 nestled inside the extremely popular Rodeo72. I visited on the day of "Luau and Low Riders" where the management of the establishment showcased local lowrider cars and artists from noon to 10pm, and my favorite go to at Rodeo is definitely the Kra Pow, Karai, and the Spring Roll place across the hall. Thai food is prepared at order, the ingredients are true to origins and the taste is great. Protion is appropriate too, imo. Now finding a seat was probably the hard part today due to the event taking place all day, same goes for parking, but I'm happy to see that a venue that support local businesses is doing well. Kra Pow is definitely a spot to check out for all foodies. Pad Thai is my other favorite here. Noodles are chewy and never crumbled together, flavored to perfection not too heavily oiled.

    Food was a bit of a wait, and they were out of a few items by the time we went but what we were able to try was delicious! I had the Thai bbq pork with the garlic rice. The portion was huge and the flavor was amazing! Came with two different sauces but I didn't need them to be honest. We also had the yellow curry shrimp with rice and the flavor and portion was well worth the wait. It was robust, had great spice, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. We also tried the curry tater tots and calamari and both were perfectly fried. We would come back!

    This place has been on my list for a while, we finally went and had lunch…read more The restaurant is an absolute vibe I love the decor it's vintage with a very welcoming atmosphere Customer service is fantastic We placed our orders and waited a bit everything was hot and fresh Portions are great food very flavor and delicious We truly enjoyed our time here I would definitely be back to try other items

    I would give the food an overall 3.5/5…read more Chinese Broccoli oyster sauce: nicely cooked, not salty or oily at all. I think it is a great vegetable dish. Crab omelette fried rice: the best dish of the night! The crab and omelette are nicely cooked, not overly salty. The rice to egg+crab ratio is great. It is not spicy, the seasoning is just right. I highly recommend this. Mango sweet sticky rice: not bad, just alright. We think the sticky rice is too soft and soggy, not chewy enough. The coconut milk is served on the side so you can pour it based on your preference. The mango is perfectly ripened, very sweet. Tom Yum Noodle Soup with seafood: our least favorite dish. The noodle is very soggy, there's really no texture to it. I know there's the word "noodles" in their name, but we definitely do not remember this noodle option at all. The tom yum soup was not great either, the spiciness is way too strong, so you can't taste much of the sourness. The seafood variety was ok, there are shrimps, fish fillets, mussels, squid, and fish balls. The texture of the squids and fish fillets tasted a bit weird. Their service was nice though we got sorted at a corner, so we had a hard time getting the staff's attention. The restaurant has a very unique decorations. There are a lot of figurines, pictures and statues. Overall, their dishes are either really good or the complete opposite, not sure if I would want to go back again.
