Good service and great location! Good menu selections, nice and friendly staff. Spicy beef salad and Siamese fish taste great! But soft shell crab curry lacks flavour. read more

The food here is absolutely delicious! I always order the crispy fried soft shell crab Pad Thai with the scrambled egg on top. You have to tell the waiter- scrambled egg on top of the Pad Thai. I tried the crab fried rice. It looked plain but was so delicious. Don't judge a book by its cover. Sometimes a dish is powerful due to simplicity. I asked why the Pad Thai tastes so much better than other restaurants? I was told the seasonings are fresh from Thailand - flown in, whereas, others are using seasonings from the store. Parking is behind the restaurant and they will validate at the end of your meal. Service is outstanding. read more

little eatery tucked next to adjacent parking structure. Dong pull a ticket at this structure instead know your license plate number you'll get 2 hr free parking! Onto the food! First the soup it was souping! Star dish because unique flavor we tasted butter lotsa chicken . Server said no butter! Tofu pad thai was delicious lotsa little tofu chunks. Chicken curry looked like small portion however after we broke down the potatoes and carrot and chicken chunks it turned into a very good portion. I would go back and just order these two entrees AGAIN! The eggplant was ok but too salty, the chicken basil needed more basil . I ordered a lunch special the crispy salmon it was small chunks in a glass dish drizzled with mayo. Not much salmon flesh. Side of dipping sauce and two steamed dumplings on bed of shredded cabbage and white rice. I want to try other lunch special options because for the price it's a good deal. Oh was our friends birthday and was surprised with a free treat we all shared ....fried bananas with scoop of green matcha ice cream....ohhhh this was a nice treat! Thank you Pink Pepper i recommend can't wait to go again and introduce more friends to this cozy place! There's a front covered patio. Small dining room with cute decor. Bathroom had a funky smell so if sensitive be worn! read more

I am just checking in will update my review later but ambiance,service and waiting patiently to try the food I saw on a reels *Update* I was super excited to do this update thanks to the California Bucket lists reels that enabled me to come back and try new dishes I never had ordered before at Pink Pepper. My favorite dishes will have to be the Shrimp Tom Ka soup get a pot and a side of rice because your going to enjoy the pot rather than the small soup trust me on this delicious! I also really enjoyed the Chicken Pad Ka the server recommended since I came in showing her all the items I wanted to try on the reels. She was really sweet and helpful and her recommendation was perfect since I did not want Pork that night either way these two dishes were my favorite. I was really full by the time I got to tasting the short rib, but I still had a bite and the meat fell off the bone and noodles were crunchy and that gave it such a great textural taste. Lastly, the Banana dessert I'm biased about because I'm big on anything banana related so I loved the crunch and softness inside the dessert. Reminded me much of Turon which I love just with an addition of ice cream that made it a whole lot better! Overall loved my whole experience I cannot wait to come back for the soup on cold winter days that soup will be much needed. read more

I know I just found my new favorite Thai restaurant. The Khao Sou Beef is absolutely outstanding, cooked to perfection, flavorful, and unforgettable! Love the papaya salad, ordered it mild no chili. First time here, we only ordered two items just to see if we liked it and we absolutely loved it! Kudos to Natalie, who not only took our order, delivered our food, clean tables to a full restaurant, we never felt neglected! Customer service, outstanding!!! parking garage located in the back, restaurant will validate for two hours. We will definitely be back, see you soon Natalie! read more

Food: We ordered the Khao Soi Beef Short Rib and the Khao Soi Seafood Curry Udon, both arrived with stunning, very Instagram worthy presentation that immediately stood out. The bowls were generous and hearty, filled with tender chunks of meat, lots of seafood, and a good amount of noodles that made them feel indulgent and comforting. Between bites and conversation, the flavors leaned deeply savory and rich, though for my personal taste they ran a little on the salty side. Still, the quality and care in the dishes came through, and I imagine they'd be even more enjoyable with lighter seasoning and a slightly calmer pace to fully take everything in. Price: Pink Pepper falls into a fairly standard Hollywood pricing range for Thai comfort food. The Khao Soi Beef Short Rib is around $18.50, while the seafood noodle dishes typically hover in the $19-22 range, depending on the protein and preparation. Expect about $20-30 per person before drinks, which feels reasonable given the generous portions and quality of ingredients. Ambiance: We sat outside on the balcony, as one of the party had a very small dog along with them. I can't speak to the inside dining room, but the outdoor seating was actually quite pleasant, spacious, comfortable, and temperature‑wise just right. It's positioned right next to the road, so there's street noise, but it didn't feel overwhelming and worked well for a longer meal. Service: Service was good and kind, though a bit slow. It appeared that only one person was handling most of the front‑of‑house duties, so there were some mild noticeable gaps between check‑ins, ordering, and food arrival. That said, nothing felt rude or dismissive, just understandably stretched thin. Overall, patient and friendly service. Parking: Parking was unfortunately the most frustrating part of the visit. We parked in the structure behind the restaurant, assuming it would be free or at least validated. Even after confirming validation with our server, we still ended up paying around $16 for parking after staying roughly 2-2.5 hours. A heads‑up here would've helped, as it was an unwelcome surprise at the end. read more

During Happy Hour, they have amazing prices on appetizers and drinks! Highly recommended for a great deal right off Hollywood Boulevard. It's a great place to head to before a movie screening at TCL Chinese Theater like we do! It's right around the corner and I wish more tourists would get off the chains on the main strip and scurry over here. Their crab wontons are fantastic! Nicely crisped by the deep frying and plump, full of cream cheese and real dungeness crab. Would get again for sure. After reading reviews, I found a common theme that the Khao Soi here is highly regarded - some even calling it the best in LA! I concur it is delicious with several protein options~ I enjoyed the crispy chicken in mine. Great portion size, very spicy, and very delicious. This Northern Thailand dish is done well here. Service is always quite friendly! Plus they have a cute little outdoor patio that transports you out of Hollywood and into a garden oasis. However even if seated indoors, it's colorful and fun! Just a great place to grab a bite in the tourist area of Hollywood! read more

Thai food is here and there so what's the big deal about this one? I dunno, try the Khao soi beef short rib and find out why. It's creamy, it's flavorful, it's got a giant short rib bone in that slides right off. Is that enough for you? No? The portions are generous too so you'll be nice and full. Slide the meat off, mix everything together for a hearty meal full of protein and noodles and what not. Feeling seafood? Then try the Khao soi seafood curry udon instead. My wife got that and barely got to share any with me. That's how good it was. Hefty amounts of shrimp and mussels with udon. Way creamy and delicious too, at least from what little pieces I got to steal from her. So all in all, this was a banger of a restaurant that's a little lowkey but definitely worth trying. Parking kinda sucks but there's a parking structure out back they'll validate for as long as you don't exceed 90 minutes. read more

Tried this place for the first time and it definitely made it into our Thai rotation! Everything is delicious, portions are good sized, and they are so lovely and friendly. The garlic noodle appetizer was one of the best things we had. Everything is well sauced and not dry at all compared to other Thai takeout. Also got a lychee martini and Thai tea and they were fantastic. Inside is very colorful and decorated. It is a nice change from a lot of modern restaurants that lack decor. If you like Thai, I highly recommend pink pepper! read more

The server was sweet, helpful, and quick but not in a rushed way, which was highly appreciated with us having a show to get to. Highly recommend! read more

Parking has changed. The restaurant will only validate for 90 minutes after that time you will be charged the FULL daily rate of 15.99. Make sure you know you license plate number because they need it for validation. It was a little loud in restaurant during this visit between the people and the constant moving of tables. The food was good but I can tell that portion sizes have been scaled back. The service is still great. read more

Authentic food, fabulous ambience and great service. You cannot go wrong with this place

Service was very attentive and genuine. It's a nice quiet escape from the noisy Hollywood atmosphere very good frequency very good spiritual ambience. Walking into Pink Pepper felt like stepping into a hidden Hollywood gem -- vibrant energy, warm lighting, and the kind of buzz that tells you something special is happening in the kitchen. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between lively and comfortable. It's stylish without trying too hard. The Food -- A Flavor Story Every dish felt intentional. Bright herbs, layered spices, and that unmistakable Thai balance of sweet, spicy, sour, and savory. * Heat that enhances, not overwhelms * Freshness you can taste immediately * Portions that satisfy without being excessive Each bite delivered depth and authenticity, yet still felt creative and slightly elevated. It wasn't just dinner -- it was an experience. Service That Elevates Everything The staff were attentive without hovering -- knowledgeable, welcoming, and genuinely enthusiastic about the menu. Recommendations were spot-on. Timing between courses was seamless. It felt curated, not rushed. The Hollywood Factor There's something uniquely fitting about enjoying bold, vibrant cuisine right in Hollywood. The ambiance carries that cinematic charm -- lively conversations, clinking glasses, and the sense that you're part of something memorable. Final Take Pink Pepper Hollywood isn't just a place to eat -- it's a place to savor. From atmosphere to flavor to service, everything came together effortlessly. If you're craving Thai food that feels both authentic and elevated, this is the spot. Would absolutely return -- and bring friends next time. read more

Pink Pepper is very close to where we live. Walked in around 8 pm on a Sunday night to a surprisingly empty restaurant & was seated immediately. Our server was friendly & brought us water right away. All of the food came out within 15 minutes! We ordered the Tom Yum with Vegetables (Cup), Tom Kha with Shrimp (Pot), Khao Soi Braised Beef, Ba-Mee Pok Pok, Crab Fried Rice, & Thai iced tea. We enjoyed everything but the Tom Yum. It was interesting & the spices were there, but not really any of our vibes. The Tom Kha was yummy! Fragrant & the coconut milk made the dish standout. Crab fried rice could be more flavorful. My boyfriend got the Ba-Mee Pok Pok (with char siu). We liked it. Coconut ice cream was yummy. Now for the famous Khao Soi dish - we saw so many videos recommending it. I ordered it with braised beef since our friend was taking care of the bill & I didn't want to order the most expensive option. The noodles were flavorful & the beef was tender. We'll definitely try the short rib version next! read more

I decided to try Pink Pepper after seeing a reel on IG from lisaeatsla. Not many thai restaurants have khao soi so I decided to bookmark it to give a try. In the video she recommended the khao soi, pad thai with soft shell crab and a couple other dishes. The menu is a little on the pricier side so my friend and I split on those 2 items and a mango with sticky rice. The khao soi with beef short rib was $30, pad thai with soft shell crab was $21 and mango with sticky rice was $8. The food took a little longer to come out but that just means they are making it fresh. It came out piping hot and my friend and I didn't leave a crumb to spare. The khao soi was flavorful, creamy and had some nice heat to it. The noodles were al dente, with a mix of veggies and crispy noodles on top. The beef rib was fall off the bone, had a good ratio of fat on it and meat was super tender. This dish was a 10/10 and we drank all the rich and flavorful soup. My friend even wanted to order a bowl of rice to mix the leftover soup with it but we decided to save our stomach for dessert after. The pad thai noodles were cooked to perfection and had a chewy texture to it. It wasn't like other restaurants where it was mushy but had a nice chew to it. The chili flakes gave it a nice kick and balanced well with the overall sweetness of the noodles. The soft shell crab was fried to perfection and were 2 whole crabs. It was basically a whole appetizer on its own. The mango with sticky rice was good but it was missing the mung bean on top. Instead it came with sesame which was my first time eating it like that. The sticky rice was served warm and had coconut milk on top. My friend said he wished there was a tad bit more coconut milk but overall was good enough. The mangos were sweet and fresh as well. They have a lot next to the restaurant which Pink Pepper validates for 90 minutes. They have a sign that says if you stay past 90 minutes the validation is voided and it will cost about $15 for parking. There was street parking when we went so we didn't park inside the lot. read more

This hidden spot in Hollywood was cute. Indoor and outdoor seating available and service was alright. The pad thai was one of the best I ever had and thai tea was great also. My friend ordered a soup which came out a bit later than my meal and ended up being a bit cold so they were able to go back and warm it up. Prices are pretty high and I didn't feel like it reflected the service. Portions are also very small. read more

We order takeout often, and I'm always on the lookout for Tom Kha Gai. The one here is so, so, so good. This soup can vary a lot from place to place, but this one is absolutely spot-on and tastes just like the version I grew up eating. The Pad Ka Prow rice bowl was also great. We'll definitely be ordering from here again read more

What a treat! You walk in and it's got really pretty lighting everywhere with hanging silk wisteria flowers. Nice comfy wall booth seating and outdoor patio with twinkly lights. Metered street parking. Came in for lunch and didn't have a problem with parking and was seated right away. Bambi took exceptional care of me. Extremely attentive and very, very sweet. I started with the chicken satay and oh my goodness. The chicken was very, very tender and flavorful with 4 skewers & meaty portions & the satay sauce was out of this world. Nice little chopped cucumber and onion salad with it was lovely. Great flavors on everything. Then I had the lunch special chicken Penang curry and it came with a house salad with nice greens and carrots with a lovely sweet tangy dressing, two chicken dumplings with a nice dipping sauce, a side of rice and the Penang was scrumptious. The cabbage, peas and the peppers were all cooked perfectly and the chicken was abundant. Everything was very, very flavorful and the dish had a medium heat level which I love. I wanted to order the lychee cocktail but they weren't serving those until 5 PM so settled on a nice glass of Cabernet Sauvignon. Very decent prices on everything. I can see why this place has been in existence for 30 years! Can't wait to come back and get some chicken pad Thai! Highly recommend! read more

All in all, not bad. Ordered the pad Thai and the yellow curry chicken curry via uber eats as they offered me a generous 30% off both main dishes, so the question I have to ask: Is there quality in the value ? Yellow chicken curry: just okay. Ordered spicy, and it could have used more spice. I couldn't help but notice the huge peppered clump in the middle as if they intentionally forgot to blend it in the broth. Never seen that one before. Based. Do people still use that phrase ? Anyways, The chicken was juicy and cooked perfectly even though it was a little stringy in places. The carrots were too sweet and over cooked. Potatoes -- acceptable temperature . Where are the onions though ? A bit of a strange curry brew, but not a complete disaster, and at the very least it had enough flavor . 3/5 The pad Thai was phenomenal . Sweet. Sour. Salty. The holy pad trinity. Gotta give it up for this one. They knew what they were doing here. The trim of the noodle had all the signature tangy salt tasty taste. The chicken was a generous portion. For $12 via uber eats, you cannot go wrong here. read more

We had the great pleasure of dining at Pink Pepper and grateful to have Pearl as our server. She was so fun and great at her job. She also seemed to be a bartender extraordinaire as she did both this and server seamlessly. Pearl, you're awesome!

I suggest you go here and make a reservation so you can get a great table and ask for Pearl. read more

First of all, I truly don't understand why this restaurant has such a low rating, given how amazing their food and service are! I haven't been on Yelp for over a year, but I had to come back just to leave this review because the rating here is completely unfair. I went around 5 PM, and the staff was SUPER friendly. We ordered a few dishes, and every single one was absolutely delicious, honestly better than any so-called "Michelin" Thai restaurants in OC. Their curry noodle with short rib was my absolute favorite: rich, flavorful, but not overwhelming at all. The cocktails were amazing too, and the mango sticky rice and pink guava drink were straight-up fire! The restaurant itself was spotless, and the whole experience was easily a 10/10. Highly recommend and will definitely be back! read more
