TL:DR - BEST khao soi in LA! Located in the heart of Hollywood, Pink Pepper is a hip looking Thai restaurant. This is our first time here, and we came specifically for their Khao Soi. Just from the photos, you can tell this isn't like other khao soi. That thick cut of beef in the middle and dark orange colored curry soup were so enticing we had to have some. Sitting outside on their patio, the khao soi was brought before us so reverantly. Beautifully plated and the smell of spices already hitting my nose before my first bite. If you've never had khao soi before, it's a coconut curry based noodle soup. Unlike other coconut Thai curries, that lean more on the sweet side, khao soi leans into the curry chili side. The first bite was mind blowing. The perfect balance between sweet, savory, and beefy! My tongue was ablaze with excitement. The flavors just dancing around with each other giving me hints of one before the other took the lead. This perfect synchronicity of flavors continued for the rest of the meal. The beef leg was tender and juicy with a little bit of char on the outside. It's flavor just infusing everything with its umami beefiness! The noodles were soft but not too soft, that right amount of chewiness without feeling like mush. Despite being full, we finished off the meal with mango sticky rice! I loved it. Unlike other mango sticky rice that feel overly sweet, the mango was the sweetest part and the rice was slightly salty. They paired so well together that I wanted to oder a second serving. Overall Pink Pepper is totally worth braving the Hollwood traffic for. In a city full of great Thai food, this is the best khao soi I have ever had!

Pink Pepper is my new favorite Thai restaurant! From the comfortable outdoor patio to the friendly staff to the stellar food, I have no complaints. I came here with my fiance on a Sunday morning, and we both ordered the Khao Soi with the giant short rib. It was absolutely divine. Probably the best khao Soi I've ever had! My first bite was HEAVENLY!! The broth was creamy, hint of spice, and a deep rich flavor from the rib. It had much more depth in its flavor than other broths I've had. My only wish is that there was more!! The rib was so soft and tender, and it's so big that they give you a serrated meat cutting knife for it! The fried noodles were ample, and tasted great whether you had it crispy or slightly soaked in the broth. And the normal noodles were so satisfying too! I'm not usually a thin noodle person, but these noodles soaked up all the flavor and soup from the broth, and was bursting with juiciness and flavor. Such a hearty dish! We had mango sticky rice for dessert and boy it was the perfect ending! The rice came out very hot actually, which paired perfectly with the cool mango. Plus, it seemed like there was a hint of saltiness in the sticky rice, making it all the more flavorful with the rest of the sweet profile. Finished off with a lovely Thai iced coffee! So refreshing! The flavor was sweet and strong. Couldn't have asked for a better Sunday afternoon lunch! There's $15 parking in the back but you can ask the staff for validation! :) Staff is incredibly nice and always makes for a lovelier dining experience!

Great food, service and atmosphere in a central location. Pad Thai and lunch specials recommended.
