    Crab cracker
    Jennifer M.

    This Thai spot is a hidden gem! Everything we ordered exceeded our expectations. We started with the Pineapple Fried Rice with shrimp and chicken--so flavorful and perfectly cooked. Then we tried the Crab Cracker, which was surprisingly light but packed with flavor. My absolute favorite was the Khao Soi with fried chicken. Wow. It had the perfect amount of spice, the broth was rich and comforting, and I was already thinking about the next time I'd order it before I even finished my bowl. I also ordered the Chicken Satay for my 5-year-old daughter, and she completely cleaned her plate! If you have picky kids, that's saying something. The service made the experience even better. The young woman who greeted us welcomed us with the biggest smile and even waved when we walked in, making us feel like regulars even though it was our first visit. She was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. Delicious food, generous portions, and wonderful service. We'll definitely be back!

    Khao soi Seafood Curry Udon
    Shirley B.

    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.

    Soft shell crab pad Thai
    David L.

    Bombastic feast! Was drawn here by the short rib khao soi and it over delivered. A hefty portion of well cooked flavorful short rib coupled with rich and buttery coconut broth. Pad kra pao gai and soft shell crab pad Thai were spectacular too! Really enjoy the addition of higher end ingredients in these everyday dishes and yet reasonably priced. Friendly service in an intimate setting. We need more restaurant operators like this.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    This place was a great find on my trip to LA. Great food, super friendly staff, and fun atmosphere!

    Khao soi beef short rib
    Derek T.

    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.

    Free Thai Ice Tea @ check in
    Llasmin H.

    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.

    Soft shell crab pad Thai
    Olivia H.

    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!

    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.

    KHAO SOI BEEF (Sliced Braised Beef Shank)( Highly recommend)

The regular menu is quite expensive with the cheapest at $17 for appetizer and salad options and most expensive at a whooping $80. The lunch menu was more affordable but still on the pricey side $21-$32 with add on options. The waitress was taking our orders and what surprised me was with my co-worker ordered the pad see ew and the waitress asked her how spicy she wants it. I was aw shocked. I'm not a Thai food expert but I do know pad see ew is a noodles dish that's offers a sweet soy sauce flavor. Never served spicy. I didn't get to try the dish but when I asked my co worker how it taste she said it was spicy and not sweet at all. I'm not sure that was an authentic pad see ew. I ordered from the lunch menu and got the tumeric chicken, with steamed vegetables and paid extra $7 to substitute for a papaya salad. I asked for #2 spice level but it was not spicy at all. Other co workers said they asked for medium but it was way too spicy. So it looks like their spicy levels are inconsistent. I'm not sure how this restaurant can justify the prices with the quality they are serving. Probably won't be back. Service was mediocre. Didn't offer to refill our waters.

The rice was piping hot and the mangos were sweet and soft, drizzled with a generous serving of sweet coconut milk. Personally, the rice was a bit too soft for me and the coconut milk was a tad too sweet, but it still scratched the itch I had for mango sticky rice. I went close to closing so the staff could only offer me takeout, which was fine. They were friendly both over the phone and in-person when I picked up my order. I'm only dinging it a point because of its high(er) price point. I would be down to go back again to try out their entrees next time though!

I felt like I came to eat and my mom's house. They take Debit Card and Apple Pay WITH a pin only. I forgot my wallet and paid with Apple Pay. It did not have a place for tip which made me feel awful. At the end I apologized and she was like "it's ok, next time." And she was genuinely fine with it. She reassured me not to worry about it. So I'm determined to come back to tip her because if anybody deserved a tip it was her. I ordered Pad Thai with tofu- I like to order peanut sauce on the side and the woman found it interesting and struck a non judgmental conversion about it. I could really tell she was genuinely curious. This was my favorite dish. It was good. I also ordered spicy fried rice with tofu and spicy panang curry with vegetables. I chose 4 out of a 6 for spicy and it was not spicy at all for me. The rice was fine, nothing extraordinary and nothing bad. The panang curry was yummy. I don't know if it's regional but it was very light in taste and light in thickness. BUT I enjoyed it for what it was. Felt like I had gotten home made chicken soup or something like that comforting and not overly processed. Maybe it's because I ordered it with no protein and just vegetables. I ordered a lot of food so I explained to her that I was going to eat some and take the rest to go. When she brought the food she brought it nicely packed without a bag. She also brought me a real plate and utensils to eat here. She let me know that when I was ready she'd bring a bag which I thought was thoughtful. She also made sure to say "take your time, no need to rush. We close at 8" and it was 5pm. Again, it felt genuinely nurturing, she wanted to make sure I felt taken care of and welcomed. It meant a lot because I was frazzled from forgetting my wallet and from having a hard day at work. This was my first time here and it won't be my last. There is a small lot on site. Prices were very reasonable.

I won't be ordering this dish again. I took half home, cut up the soybean fish and added it to a stew. I didn't mention to my server that it was my bday, but was disappointed that he didn't even offer like regular servers do, "Would you like to see the dessert menu?" I didn't tell him it was my bday nor did I ask for the dessert menu bc I wasn't the one paying the bill. Not that I needed dessert, but it would've been nice to have been asked. When I mentioned this to another server who came by to clear our table that our server didn't even ask if we wanted dessert and that the restaurant doesn't seem to want to push its desserts, he quickly brought us a dessert menu, but my friend was already paying our bill - too late! It would've been nice to be asked earlier. I even had candles in my bag just in case we got dessert. Anyway, this server said he'll tell our server about not offering dessert. The next day I came back with another friend after a Music Center event. My server from the day before recognized me. This time he asked us at the start before we ordered or after we had just ordered whether we'd like to see the dessert menu. Huh? Ask at the END not start of a meal! Instead of embarrassing him, I told him, "No, thanks. My bday was yesterday." On this second day, my friend and I shared a Chinoise salad (delicious and refreshing!) and paella (not like a paella, a little too wet and granular for our taste, but healthy - a living food dish). We had mint and lemon water for both meals. $12 parking in the adjacent structure. Free parking passes at the Music Center if you're a season ticket holder or good luck with finding street parking. I'd still continue to occasionally patronize this restaurant when I have Music Center events bc I want to support veganism, the restaurant; however, I was disappointed with some of the food and waitstaff this weekend. I'd suggest that the waitstaff go thru customer training on when/what/how to talk to customers. Incentive from the website: join the rewards plan - 300 points for 30% off the bill and 100 points for a free dessert! I'm aiming for the free dessert!!

Everything here is just so good. Try the morning glory vegetables with crispy pork. It is SUPER good here. The portions are huge and everything is so authentic tasting. It's tucked into the corner of a Thai town food complex. The service is friendly and the ambiance is fun and chaotic. I can't wait to go again.

Unfortunately, I recently took my family there who was visiting and we were underwhelmed. We came on a Sunday afternoon and while it was busy, we only waited a few minutes. It took a few minutes to order after being seated. All of the food came out pretty fast. The best dish was the Morning Glory with Crispy Pork. The Papaya Salad wasn't tart enough. It seemed like it wasn't marinated long enough. The Bbq Pork noodle dry smelled really bad to the point that we couldn't eat it. In fact, we had to order Fried Rice instead since we couldn't eat the noodles. The Pad See Ew was just okay. I'm disappointed as I really wanted my family to be blown away by the food and it didn't happen. Maybe the kitchen was having an off day. There's a small crowded valet parking lot right out front. We found street parking a few blocks away. Be mindful that it's in the east side of Hollywood, so it can be sketchy and dirty in the surrounding neighborhood.
