Pink Pepper Reviews

I went here at the suggestion of a friend I was visiting in the neighborhood. He had been here before and it was about 2 blocks from his place. If you're not on foot, it could seem a little tricky to find. Two things stood out about the restaurant: they had a doorman/security guard at the entrance and the hostess/greeter was so enthusiastic (I'm sorry to be so Hollywood-jaded), I felt she was really high on some party drug! The food was fine, normal to smaller portions and a typical Hollywood overpriced menu...in my opinion about 10-20%.

Finally I found authentic Thai cuisine in the United States this place serves genuine tie cuisine absolutely fantastic red curry the lamb massaman was to die for ! There's a great range of dishes the food is consistent the service was fast and efficient try this place do you want be disappointed

This was a quick last minute find after being in Hollywood 6 nights. We were after a quick meal before heading to laugh factory. Great find, the food was fast and fantastic. Tasted very fresh and the staff were service with a smile. Would certainly recommend.

A real hidden gem! Food was good and reasonably priced and it was nice to eat something fresh! For the lack of customers, it was surprisingly good.

Fresh and light food, very tasty and quick / friendly service. Needed a break from the local cusine and this place delivered.

Loved it, meal for two came to just under 25$ for 2 people. Quality of the food was excellent, service a little slower than desired but still an enjoyable experience. We visited twice during our stay and both times were great! Recommend the Pad Thai!

We happened to walk by looking for an asian inspired restaurant in an area we are not familiar with. The service was great - very friendly. The best food we could have thought of and all reasonably priced. We had walked past a couple of unsanitary and "suspect" abodes, but this restaurant was clean and modern. We will be back for sure!

With my son & daughter in law we had a wonderful lunch. The Coconut Shrimp appetizer was outstanding. It was the best shrimp since I returned from Roatan ! All of our entres were excellent. The lunch specials also include extras. Do leave room for the coconut ice cream ! Will return in November, for sure.

Pink Pepper has been my favorite Thai restaurant in LA for years! It's incredibly reasonably priced, has a lovely decor, the staff is very nice and - most importantly - the FOOD is incredible! They have my *favorite* Pad Thai of all time! Other favorites include the Papaya Salad, Ginger & Mushroom Chicken, Pad See Ew and Panang Curry .

We love Pink Pepper's food. And, because of Covid, we try to order form local restaurants for take out. Tonight we ordered from Pink Pepper. When we arrived to pick up the order, we observed that the kitchen staff were NOT wearing masks when preparing and cooking the food. I"m over 60 years old and in a high risk group. I won't be ordering from Pink Pepper again anytime soon.

On recent trip to Hollywood our hotel did not specifically recommend but we decided to try it. So glad we did. Nice selection of dishes. Very good and very reasonable. Try the curry salmon.

Good menu selection. Food is of good but not outstanding quality. It's good though.....just not over the top. This restaurant delivers for what it is. Consistently good....fairly priced and a convenient location in Hollywood.

Recommend this to anyone needing a good Thai fix!! Their famed yellow curry chicken didn't disappoint and also try the beef with roasted garlic and beans! 👍👌👌😋

Amazing Thai food best we’ve had since being in Thailand. Excellent service. Pineapple rice and pad Thai are awesome!!

Totally over everything fried I searched for some local Asian and found this gem. Food, drinks, location and service all great. Really enjoyed both our mains and the entree

Just enjoyed a fresh and tasty dinner - Located just off Hollywood boulevard. It's a homely Thai restaurant with unbelievably good food. The staff are friendly and efficient. It's definitely well worth a visit.

A must for anybody staying nearby! Chicken curry and teryaki salmon to die for as is the lamb curry! Visited 3 times in our 5 days in LA..

Excited to try something new, my hubs son offered this resturant to try Thai cuisine. The choice was perfect we all enjoyed our foods. The meals were Thai Pad and Curry Chicken. Yum.

It was getting a bit late, and a group of us wanted something nice to eat - not the usual burgers and the like. Pink Pepper hit the spot and the price was fine. I wish I had more time to work my way through the delicious looking menu! I had a customised Seafood Green Curry - don't be afraid to ask. It's prepared pretty much from scratch, so they could oblige one of us who is allergic to onions! The food was so delicious, I scraped every little bit of it. Only one thing to remark - the rice is extra. I'm not sure why they don't include the simple white/steamed rice in the price, and if you want something fancier, pay the difference. I had my eye and tummy on the fish with tamarind sauce, but that is for 3 people, and we wanted different things. If you have a group of people, you may want to try it out - it's been my experience that, whenever you find it, it's such a specialty, only the better places have it on the menu. Enjoy!

Went not knowing what to expect but really liked our entire meal a lot! Parking behind the restaurant and they validate for you. Service and atmosphere were good. Mango and rice dessert was a favorite. Would recommend and plan on returning.

Ordered Spicy Beef Salad, Red Beef Curry and a Green Papaya Salad for delivery, was delivered in 15-20 minutes to our hotel door. Great service and food of an exceptional standard and well priced.

I've been here several times. It has always been good. Not a big place. Not a fancy place, but the food is good and the service is quick. I think they do a lot of take out business too.

The food was great. The service was great. A must for me the next time I am the area. The prices were reasonable. Not a "5 star " restaurant, but good place for Thai food.

Took me back to Thailand. 😍 My husband and I ordered the app sampler, Penang curry and pad Thai. The food is absolutely amazing and the staff was very friendly.

We have been travelling all over the states for months and landing in LA we visited the Pink Pepper which we visited two years ago. It was just as good as then. The food is soooo tasty and with wine, starters and two mains for less than $80 bucks, you have to love it. Service fab, food fab and only just four minute stroll from the centre of Hollywood Boulevard.

We love(d) the food at Pink Pepper. During this day and age of Covid-19 where most restaurants are suffering, we try to order take out from our local restaurants. Tonight we ordered from Pink Pepper. When we arrived to pick up the food, we noticed that the employees working the kitchen, INCLUDING THE OWNER, were not wearing masks. I'm in a high risk group and was appalled that the food was being prepared without the use of PPE. Unfortunately, they have lost our business. If they don't care about their employees health, they're not going to care about their patrons.

...would expect at this price point. Typical Thai dishes served to indoor and outdoor tables. Friendly staff. The food is good for the price. Enjoyed the vegetable stir-fry with chicken, veggies a bit overdone. Dumplings tasty but still a little flat.

We had a Sunday evening meal, our last night in Hollywood and wanting something light but tasty. Pink Pepper fit the bill. Since we had grazed most of the day, we opted to share the Pink Pepper Roll for appetite and the Pad See Ew as an entree. Delicious flavors and the roll wrappers were light and tasty. The broccoli in the Pad See Ew was crisp, but not tough and the wide noodle was delicious. Just the right topper for a great trip. When we arrived it was noisy with a large group in the restaurant, but as soon as they left, it was a pleasant atmosphere.

I think your experience will depend on the items you order. The hotel we stayed at recommended Pink Pepper. We started with Tom Yum Gai soup, hot and sour lemongrass soup - wow! Great flavor tender chicken. A great dish. For entree's, we did the Thai BBQ short ribs. The flavor was great, but another cut of beef would have made this dish great. Short ribs need to be braised. Grilled short ribs are tough. Next was pad thai with chicken and shrimp. Possibly the most flavorful pad thai I have eaten. The kids ordered teriyaki chicken (tender and flavorful), and Thai fried rice with steak. My daughter loved the fried rice but did not care for the steak. I would order it again but try chicken or pork. Service was OK. Friendly with a bit of language understanding barrier. Our server came over to get the drink order and my wife said she could use a stiff drink after traveling all day. Our server smiled, nodded and said you want to start with water, ok and off he went. My guess is the are some dishes that are tremendous and some that are not so good. Our experience would not preclude me from giving it another go but it also wouldn't preclude me from giving another Thai restaurant a shot. Prices were reasonable, 4 of us ate for under $75.

Great thai restaurant, just far enough away from the garbage on Hollywood Boulevard. We really enjoyed it.

Have had a lot worse but also a lot better.so it gets an average vote. 47 dollars for 2 main dishes, 1 starter and 1 glass of wine. The steamed jasmin rice just comes out of the boiled rice pot, which makes it glutenous and sticky but its not sticky rice. things like that annoy me as they are simple to do.

Great pineapple chicken curry!

We just love the food here. Great dishes with lots of flavor. You will not be disappointed. We love the chicken curry, best we have found anywhere.

Great lunch spot for quick Thai food for a good price. Located right at the beginning of the Hollywood Walk of Fame with indoor and patio seating.

My friends and I were staying in West Hollywood for just a night before we flew home and we didn't have access to a car. We'd just gotten back to our hotel after visiting the Griffith Observatory and we really didn't feel like taking another taxi ride. So we went in search of delivery options. Pink Pepper's online ordering was a breeze and I was thrilled with the wide selections on their menu. I'm not the biggest fan of Thai, so I was a little leery. I couldn't have been more wrong. Everything we ordered was wonderful. The spicy chicken wontons were like Thai empanadas of deliciousness, and the crab fried rice was so good. The onions in the rice were sweet and flavorful, and they definitely didn't skimp on the dungeoness crab or the portion size. My friend and I split the rice and we were both stuffed. I wish we had a restaurant as polite, quick, and scrumptious as the Pink Pepper when it comes to delivery.

The hotel recommended we try Pink Pepper for a late dinner. My favourite dishes were the spicy flat rice noodles & green curry fried chicken. Service is amazing.

it's good and not pricey

We ate at The Pink Pepper in the early evening and had an absolutely wonderful meal. The service was fantastic — attentive and friendly. The Pad Thai was excellent, and the curry was delicious as well. We ordered it at medium spice, but it was actually quite spicy (and we’re used to spicy food), so keep that in mind when choosing your heat level. I would highly recommend this restaurant for its food and service.

We went last night and we loved our experience there as the food was great -- authentic and very fresh with the right ingredients.We could not believe how great the prices were as well . The service was from Cat was wonderful and we also appreciated that it stayed open until 11pm and its a place that we wished we found earlier.

The menu had lots to choose from and the food was some of the best I've had outside of Bangkok. We made lots of amends to our dishes, all of which arrived correct, fresh and delicious. Service was average and the high usage furniture needs a face lift (think gaffer tape holding together the faux leather bench in the booth). Also, the place has no wifi. But the food... wowsers... more than made up everything else!

I worked around the corner, so this spot was a great spot to get some lunch. The food is good, with pretty big portions, and great service. Always a busy restaurant with just enough space for you. The curries are AMAZING, those you must try if you like curry. The only reason this place isn't 5/5 is the location. Not a lot of parking around and the area is not the nicest in that part of town, but once you're there and eating, you'll enjoy yourself.

Pink Pepper is just a couple of blocks from my place so I order from them often. Their food is delicious and consistent... I highly recommend the spicy garlic sauce with tofu, yum. (And I actually just tried their wonton soup last week, which is not exactly a Thai dish, but it's quite good as well...)

I have eaten here on my last two trips to LA (the last time twice in two days!!) and it’s always great food with very friendly service! The menu has plenty of choice, I’ve eaten curries, noodle dishes and soups and they are all delicious! It’s in a great location in Hollywood and the portions are also a great size... Go ahead and try it for yourself, it’s really great!!

It was good price and close to Magic Castle Hotel and a nice change from burgers.

This is a great place to go if you love Thai food. The restaurant is very quaint and simple, but the food is excellent especially if you love pad thai and the prices are very reasonable, average $10 a plate. I would highly recommend this place!

Searching for the best thaifood in Hollywood back in 2005 while visiting we stumbled upon this great litte place on the corner of Hollywood Blvd and La Brea. The freshness of the food as well as the punch in the use of spices was just to die for. Has been back a couple of times since and now recently it was on a westcoastroundtrip in sep. I skipped the appetizer and ordered two of my favourites on the Pink Pepper that never dissapints wich was the beef with garlic & peppersauce and the beef Panang. Finished of the lean and tender pieces of steak covered in the devine garlic/peppersause in just a few minutes and it was as good as always. Saved the beef Panang wich is my no 1 dish for last and it was so good i almost cried. Creamy and spicy sauce with lots of flavors and a steak that felt like they had cut down a fine piece of filé mignon in this thai goodness. In 3 weeks visiting Thailand i never had anything this high in quality and taste. Just bland food (if you dont specifically say thaispicy that is.....) with quality of beef and chicken that doesnt come close to this. My company had the Pad Thai wich was ok but not more. This place is all about the curries people!!! The pricerange is very good. Appetizers at arount 8 $ and mains and curries 9-12 $ roughly. Soda with free refills at 2 $ and a ice cold Singha is 3,50 $. If you love thai dont miss this place in the heart of hollywood. Its top notch!

I will begin by saying that Pink Pepper has the best coconut shrimp ive ever had. It is cooked and breaded/coconutted to a perfect brown and crunchyness that I crave from time to time. I get it every time I come. They offer a lunch special which is where I normally order. Prices are fair. Personally I don't worry about parking when I go there as I work around the corner bit if I dis have to worry about parking, my review may be for less stars. Service is always good and its not often busy. I'll be back

Partner and I ordered online 3 meals, one entree and 2 sides of rice... We were hungry. Was delivered to us approx. 45 mins later, bit longer than we thought it would take. Satay chicken sticks chargrilled, nice enough. Mains were sweet & sour pork, pad thai, and green chicken curry. Sweet and sour pork was delicious however the vegetables with it were not cooked enough. Pad thai was not nice at all, had a jelly-like texture and was very bland. Green curry was delicious, we ordered medium heat and that was perfectly spicy. The meals came with forks, spoons, and serviettes. Well packaged. We managed to eat most of it as the sizes weren't too large.

Pad Thai was the best I've had in a long time. It's a good place to go with a group to share dishes family style. The service is a little relaxed. But overall, a pleasant experience.

I've loved everything I've ever had here and everyone I've brought here has loved it, too! The patio can be a little loud with traffic noise so I prefer to sit inside, which is lovely. Some favorites include: Pad Thai (the best I've ever had), Soy Sauce noodles, Ginger & Mushroom chicken, Pangang curry, mixed vegetables.

Wow!.....Walking around Hollywood and found a gem!, This wonderful Thai Restaurant on Labrea near Hollywood bl. I am addicted to good thai food and I was so lucky to find pink pepper!...I ordered the chicken curry spicy, It was one of the best curries I ever tasted! The cook I found out is Thai and has been cooking for a long time! The menu has a large assortment of Thai dishes, and a large selection of different curries. The service was excellent, the décor made you feel your in Thailand! Five stars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The restaurant was quiet considering some of the favourable reviews. Just two tables occupied, one by a Thai family, which was a good sign. We had the mixed starter, pad Thai, tofu with auburgines and rice. Food was good and decently priced but the place lacked any ambiance

I used to live a block away and I found this place and honestly I ate here weekly, from the outside you would never know its a restaurant....its on La Brea about one block from Hollywood Blvd...less than 5 minute walk from the Chinese Theater. Inside is very clean, don't let the outside ruin your view. The irony is when you go inside there is barely anyone inside, they are mainly known for take out, but the place is VERY clean and the staff is VERY nice. I was back in Hollywood visiting and it was a must eat for me when I was here...I always get the Pa Thai and Pineapple Fried Rice...but are YUMMY! I took a friend and he loved it as well... The shoos around Hollywood and Highland and that area area are so vast...take a gamble and walk 5 minutes. I lived a block away for 2 years and I loved it and now I go back as a visitor.

Really authentic Thai food that tasted excellent. Too big portions for a European and worth every penny. Very good service and nice atmosphere. If you are in Hollywood and like Thai food, this restaurant is a must visit.

A Thai restaurant where apart from the interior decoration almost all the Thai has gone. The food is Asian, Thai, but drifted away from the original. Even a special request for very spicy resulted in food that any farang could eat. We had a good meal though.

Good atmosphere og very friendly waiters. Great value. My friend really liked his Pad Thai, but I thought my salmon was only ok, so I guess some dishes are better than others.

must have the duck!!

Wonderful spices, fresh veggies, noodles and TLC are added together to make a scrumptious meal! I ate there twice in 3 days!

Yummy food. The Phad Thai was amazing. All the other dishes we had were good too. Extensive menu. It look nice for a sit down meal as well. Would highly recommend.

Only went here based on our desire for Asian food and the close proximity to our hotel - The Roosevelt. I would describe the decor as simple & humble. The staff were not high energy, low key yet nice enough. It wasn’t a busy night but they had a couple of big groups and a few couples dining. I had to sort of get their attention to have our order taken. I wanted the duck with Bok Choy but it wasn’t available. Nor was a couple of other dishes. Nevermind, the menu looked pretty good and it was easy to choose something else. Now the important bit - the food. It was VERY YUMMY. Like, really good !! Yippee. We had the chicken Satays, the beef with garlic & green beans (nice pepper flavor) And chicken Thai fried rice (fresh) and chicken red curry. All in all it was a pleasant & yummy find.

Pink peeper was by far the best Thai we have ever had! we are just annoyed that we found it on our last night as we would have definately eaten there again during our stay

A family vacation of 9 ages 75 to 12 we made it through Disneyland . Our plans to head to Burbank with hopes of finding Thai for lunch. Pleasing 9 is not an easy feet after 3 days in Disneyland. but awwwww to Pink Pepper on La Brea Avenue, was the highlight of my family vacation. Everthing was delicious. the service was always above and beyond.....which I"ve learned is the way Thai serves are I wanted the mango and sticky rice, but everyone was in a hurry. So I guess Ill have to go back .Yipeeeeee

glass noodle beef salad - this is good thai.

I've only been here late at night before hitting the strip. I don't think it was bad, but if you are still up late in Hollywood, this is as good a place as any to get some grub before you drink.

We are coming to Hollywood for years and for years we passed the Pink Pepper - stupid, stupid, stupid! From the first moment we went, we went back plenty of times. The food is amazing. The service very kind and friendly. The wine list is small but well chosen and a good fit with the food. The restaurant is not too heavily decorated which I like and also more on the small side. I have so many fav dishes, hard to chose one.

Absolutely terrible service from both the female waiters, food was good but we didn't leave a tip as they left us with a bad taste in our mouths.

I took this restaurant recommandation on Trip Advisor before leaving. We had lunch and the food was very good and inexpensive. A great place to go, you can sit outside and there is many choices on the menu.

This was a delicious restaurant very close to Hollywood Boulevard. The pad Thai was delicious and the yellow curry was cooked to perfection. The staff was amazing!

I am not a dumpling fan, but I loved these. LOVED them, to the point we ordered a second round. We ended up only doing appetizers and a beer, and for $40 with tip we were stuffed! We also tried their Pink Pepper Rolls, yum and the Dynamite Hot Wings (so sweet and hot!). And for dessert may I recommend the Thai Coconut ice cream. Also, really nice ambience...depending on the weather (usually pretty good in LA) you can eat inside or out on their patio. Great service, super friendly folks, absolutely reasonably priced.

We all fancied somthing spicy and a break from burgers and pizza. We found this place through trip advisor and were very impressed. Great service a pretty extensive menu a great ambiance and lovely staff. All our food was prepared well and tasted really good. Very happy. Thanks

Good food, excellent service, highly recommended - I had the lamb curry plus fried rice, my wife had a shrimp dish for garlic lovers, this plus a large glass of decent white wine and a large thai beer came to about $53 incl tax - excellent value for money

We were trying out thai food with colleagues and chose this place because of previous recommendation. It was nearly empty at early lunch time (around 11:45 on Wednesday) so there was enough place to sit without reservation. I was trying out chicken satay with brown rice and it was very delicious with the peanut sauce and garlic sweet chilli. It was 14 dollars and well worth the price. We would go there again in the next coming weeks I'm sure.

Went back here again on another trip to LA. Still a very nice place with reasonable prices. I found something on the menu I have never seen at a Thai restaurant - LAMB curry. So I decided to try it. Very nice lamb with pearl onions and potato and a dark curry sauce. I enjoyed it very much, and the service was very good again too. I will continue to make this place a regular when I can. PS - Don't forget to ask them to validate your parking for the garage right behind the restaurant.

Just a terrible experience, service was by far the worst we experienced during a 2weeks trip to USA. Food was okay but the place itself was dull and lifeless and the staff where obviously in the wrong business. Served aims before we had finished starters and just dumped food down so plates sat on top of plates.

I had the tea lemonade mix (not on menu) and it was incredible. Ok, I had two. Also had hot and spicy soup (very nice) and spicy noodle with chicken - excellent!!! Plan to go again even though I'm only in town a few days. Ask for waitress named Kat. Sweet kind soul and just a genuine good person.

The hotel concierge recommended this little place and it was a quick 15 minute walk from the hotel. We found the food to be fresh and flavorful and nicely presented. We ordered medium heat but found it to be on the mild side for our tastes. Our dinner for two with an appetizer, 2 entrees and sodas was less than 50.00. Not bad for LA!

We went there as a family of 5 last night as it was close to where we were staying. We thought the food was very tasty and the service very friendly. Between us we tried different options: Thai curry with chicken, pad Thai with shrimps and chicken, red curry, Thai salmon, ... and thought they were all delicious. So would definitely recommend this place if you are in the area.

Having some excellent Thai restaurants listed cally in Sydney it was nice to have a good meal here in LA Starters were good and the mains, especially the prawn with ginger very tasty. Service was very friendly and prompt and a relaxing spot away from the Hollywood madness :-)

I took 7 people to dinner at Pink Pepper. We sat on the patio which was cool and pleasant. My wife had the Pineapple Fried Rice which was delicious. The Pad Thai was very good. Others had curry or BBQ chicken and everyone loved it.

This is the best thai restaurant in the whole of LA for about $10 you will get one of the best red curry's you have ever tasted. Service can vary but the food makes up for it. This is a must go!

There are numerous tasty dishes here at the Pink Pepper. I really enjoyed the chicken satay and the coconut shrimp. THe place is small and has very limited outdoor seating.
