Crispy Pork Gang Thai Restaurant

This place doesn’t whisper “flavor” — it yells it through a megaphone of crispy pork. Walked into Crispy Pork Gang & Grill on a whim and left wondering where this place has been all my life. The star of the show? That glorious, golden, crackly-skinned pork — crispy enough to hear across the table, juicy enough to haunt your dreams. It’s not just a dish, it’s a moment. I paired it with the spicy basil fried rice, which hit all the right notes — smoky, savory, a little spicy, and packed with that perfect wok-charred flavor. The papaya salad was bright and punchy, like a citrusy slap in the best way possible. Service was quick, efficient, and refreshingly no-frills. This place isn’t trying to be fancy — it’s just really, really good at what it does. Feels like the kind of spot chefs sneak off to on their day off. If you’re into flavor bombs, crispy textures, and food that feels alive — skip the trendy stuff and pull up here. Your taste buds will thank you.

I went to this Thai restaurant in an area full of Thai spots and it really stood out. The environment is pretty cozy and the prices are super fair for the quality. I got the Pad Thai, Papaya Salad, Yellow Curry, and Tom Yum. Everything was flavorful and well balanced. The Pad Thai was exactly how I like it not too sweet or oily. The Papaya Salad had that perfect mix of freshness and spice. The Yellow Curry was rich and comforting and the Tom Yum had a great kick without being overwhelming. Loved the experience overall and I’d definitely go back.

Pretty good Phad Thai. You save money when you pay cash!! The lime tea was supper sweet but yummy. I rate it 4 stars because it's affordable.

Food was brought out fairly quickly. I enjoyed the drunken noodle combination meats as well the Jom Pom. Be careful with the spice level. If you’re not used to high level spice, I caution you to go mild. The place is not overly crowded and the food is pretty tasty.

I have come here multiple times. The food has always been great. But, the last time I visited I was in the mood for some good noodles, I got the Super Pad Thai, it's basically a Pad Thai but with a mix of all the meats. When we were served I saw right away the discoloration on the noodles, very pale and with a funky fishy smell. I assumed something was wrong because the server also looked at it and they continued to keep looking in my direction. I took the first bite and right away I got a bad slimy taste , it was not good. I tried from a different spot and it was the same, horrible. The worst pad Thai I have had here in Thai town. The server came up to me right away as soon as I pushed my plate aside and told my bf that it was not good. She asked if everything was ok. I explained what it was and they apologized and offered a replacement or something else. I opted for their pineapple Curry which is absolutely delicious, highly recommended. I have tried many of their dishes before but this was the first time getting something bad. Yes I have tried Pad Thai at other restaurants, 3 in that same plaza . I guess they have a new cook or something. But service was absolutely fabulous

I stumbled upon this restaurant by chance and decided to check it out because the name was so catchy (I love crispy pork). While waiting for my food, I looked at the reviews and saw a lot of 1-star ratings, which made me a little nervous. But once the food arrived, the noodles were delicious, and the crispy pork was amazing—not too greasy at all! 👍 Price: The noodles were pretty affordable, but the stir-fried morning glory with crispy pork was about $20, which felt a bit pricey 😂 Service: Great! 👍 I couldn’t finish my food, and the staff asked if it wasn’t tasty or if it was too salty. I told her I was just full 😂. You could really tell they cared. Parking: Valet parking, starting at $3.

I found this restaurant completely by accident while walking around, and the name instantly caught my attention—I'm a huge fan of crispy pork, so I couldn’t resist giving it a try! When the food came out, I was honestly really impressed. The noodles were super tasty, full of flavor, and perfectly cooked. But the real star was the crispy pork—it was so good! Crispy on the outside, tender inside, and not greasy at all, which was a nice surprise. The noodles were pretty affordable, which made me happy, but the stir-fried morning glory with crispy pork felt a little on the pricey side. Still, I have to say, it was delicious, so I didn’t mind too much in the end. The service was great! The staff were super friendly and really seemed to care. I couldn’t finish all my food, and the lady came over to check if everything was okay—she asked if I didn’t like the taste or if it was too salty. I laughed and told her I was just too full. It was such a nice, genuine moment. Overall, I really enjoyed this place and would definitely come back. If you’re looking for tasty noodles and awesome crispy pork, this spot is worth checking out!

The only Thai place I can trust in LA! I along with other Thai locals come here for authentic food. The portions are generous with great prices and even better taste! The Thai tea tastes exactly the ones in Thailand and boat noodles were my favourite! They also cater to your spice level which is a bonus! We also got to enjoy our food outside in the sunshine with a fresh coconut😊This place is extremely underrated.

Great prices, solid portions, and delicious food. The inside was cute and the people were nice and accommodated my allergies. It's also open 24/7 and they do deliveries, which is a plus bc I only come out at night. Five stars for that fact alone, but this place is yummy. Parking is easy - lot and meters

Food: 3/5 Service: 3.5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Value: 2/5 I have been passing by this place and reading their reviews a few times. I always hesitated to go because of the mixed feedback. This time my coworker said he liked the food so we decided to go for a late dinner. I was thinking about getting boat noodles or crispy pork with Chinese broccoli, but after reading more reviews I decided to play it safe and ordered mixed vegetables over rice. I figured they couldn't mess that up, right? The portion was small for the price. It didn't come with any meat, which was partly my fault. I remembered they mentioned in the menu that meat costs extra, but I thought that meant for extra meat. The server didn't ask if I wanted any meat either. The taste was just okay. It did the job, and that's about it. When I got the bill, it was just like other people said in the reviews. They added a service fee and an 18% tip. For the overall experience, I will not repeat.

It was my first time here and boy it wasn't as good as I thought it would be. Food was subpar and OVERPRICED. That's all I gotta say. Tom yum seafood $26.99!! The most overpriced tom yum I've ever paid for sheesh! Fried calamari that was basically those scored squid pieces that's been breaded with panko and deep fried and a small portion.. $12.99!! Crispy pork was DECENT atleast but portion was tiny...$14.99!!! Yellow curry w/ beef which was pretty tough $15.99!! Large rice $5 On top of that, they included a processing fee and an automatic gratuity of 18% for just having 5 items on the bill. Never again! Service was OK Women's bathroom was out of order, tried to use the men's bathroom but the actual toilet was taped shut and was also out of order. Do the female employees use the urinal in the men's bathroom? ... Smh.

Very bad service. They won't take your order or a knowledge you. Guy was watching tv and ignoring us. We left immediately after seeing all the bad reviews.

They are way overpriced. They used to be the go to for Thai food but portion size is smaller. The price is 3x what it used to be and the service isn't good. I would try another price until they get back to where they were.

I ordered Boat Noodle from the lunch menu. It cost $8.95 but since I wanted beef, it was an additional $2. The portion was small, only a few pieces of beef which had a smell to it, a beef ball, one piece of tripe, one piece of liver. The broth was average. The service was ok since the restaurant was empty. I paid cash but was charged a processing fee.

PLEASE DONT COME HERE , I definitely would not recommend eating here, I came here last night with some family that are out of state and came to Los Angeles for the first time, we came here , ordered lots of food, but i ordered 2 spicy fried rice they came out with the regular fried rice, when I told her it was the wrong order they took the plate back and just put chili flakes on it, and then I told her I no longer wanted the order because that's not what their spicy fried rice looks like because I've ordered it multiple times before her service became worse they charged me 18% tip immediately on a bill claiming that it was regular for all their customers which is a lie and also illegal to do in California, but truly I know it's because I no longer wanted the fried rice that they messed up on i've been coming here for the last 5 years and the quality keeps on going down the drain.

Everything tasted kind of old lol. Gang Noodle's separate elements weren't great. Crispy pork wasn't crispy...just fried to death. Like a hunk of leather. Garlic chicken was also tough but flavor was fine. Great garlicky vibe with the rice and cabbage. Chicken Wings were exceptional. I would've killed 4 orders. Just way better spots nearby so why try again.

Was looking a late night meal & saw that Crispy Pork Gang is open 24/7! Went in at 1 am to a near empty restaurant, ordered 2 green curries & a side of rice to go. Our order was ready in about 15 minutes. Curry was pretty good. We ordered pork green curry - mild spicy & beef green curry - no spicy, but both tasted quite spicy so this threw us off because it definitely wasn't "no spicy". Meat was very generous but the pork was a bit tough. It'd be great if there were more veggies. A small scoop of rice should be included too. It's a small eatery but has a cute outdoor seating area & a parking lot which was open/free when we went.

Great lunch specials. Plenty of affordable options. The food is good for the price. Can't beat these prices. Customer service was great. Food came out promptly. The ambiance is authentic Thai. If you want to travel to a Thai restaurant and feel the nuances of a Thai restaurant then this is the place for you. Gives off family run vibes. Overall a great Thai experience.

Pretty great specials for a good price if you go at the right time of the day. It's not the most delicious Thai food I've had but definitely hits the spot for its price. And it's open 24 hours. It's definitely more expensive after the specials are done but when you neee some pad kee mao at 4am, it's a fair trade off. The roti was good but not great. Not sure if it's just a different style from a style that im use too. Doesn't compare to the street food version I've eaten multiple times in Thailand or even the one I had in Alhambra but it's still worth while to get.

Crispy Pork Gang hits the spot when you need something warm and comforting -- especially after a long night out. I stumbled in here pretty late and was genuinely grateful they were still open. That alone is a win. I got the wonton noodle, and while it wasn't anything mind-blowing, it was exactly what I needed: a hot, flavorful bowl that felt like a quiet hug at 1 AM. The broth was solid, the wontons were plump, and the noodles had a good chew. Simple, satisfying, no frills. It's not the kind of place you brag about to out-of-towners, but it is the kind of place you quietly keep in your rotation for those late-night comfort cravings.

I won't waste your time. It's another 12 AM story where they gave my food to someone else, wouldn't take responsibility for it, and told me to ask GrubHub for a refund. CPG also said that this "happens all the time." But maaaaan, read the other 1-star reviews. I think I dodged a bullet here.

This review is over 10 years from my last and it is still five stars! I was feeling a little under the weather so I had to get the roasted duck noodle soup because it is so spicy and delicious and flavorful and it hit the spot like always! Service was prompt and amazing and the place is welcoming like always. Every time I come back to Los Angeles I always need to stop here. So worth it.

Came for late night mango sticky rice snack. Was alright. Great this place is open 24/7

BAD SERVICE. We won't be coming here anymore. Horrible service. We usually dine-in or get take out, but service is getting worse and worse! Last time, I placed an order at least 30 mins ahead and when I arrived it still wasn't ready for another 20 mins. Came in again today after placing an order through Grubhub for pickup, and a guy called us saying his delivery person gave him our order. Luckily, our phone # was on the receipt so he was able to tell us what happened. When we came in, we asked them what happened and they blamed us. We showed them our order and everything -- we were picking up, not delivery. They gave us nothing. No apologies. No accountability. No refund. Not even an offer to remake the order. My husband grew up eating here, but service is getting worse. Not worth the time and money. You're better off going to Thai Central Cuisine, Thai Patio, Ruen Pair, or any of the other places in the plaza.

4/5 The parking here is valet so you don't have to worry about going to find parking in busy East Hollywood. We first came in with great service. The water was served and filled often. There are so many food options that I had a hard time choosing. So I asked the staff for their recommendations. For noodles, the Jom pon was recommended. Personally, I didn't like the soggy mushy noodles. I wish they used the same noodles used from Boat Noodles, more chewy. Everything else were decent but nothing too extraordinary. Despite, I still want to try other things because the price is fairly cheap

Tasty Thai food in the heart of Thai Town in Hollywood. While all the dishes we ordered were full of flavor and delicious, the amount of crispy pork served with the entrees is disappointing. The parking lot can be crazy so beware timid and new drivers.

We ate there Saturday night. It wasn't crowded. There were like 10 televisions inside, all side by side and all showing a different channel. It was catering to all age groups in a family. The food was delicious. We had the panang pork curry with rice and Yen-Ta-Fo Hot Pot Soup with fish . Yum.

A few things to consider, as upon arrival we've noticed it's a busy establishment so it's safe to assume that it might be "good". In regards of ambiance energy is low. We were greeted with a server and we were promptly sat down. The Thai boat noodle; the soup was mid, I had asked for extra spicy but it was more on the sweeter side. The beef was a bit overcooked and was very rough to chew. The papaya salad was spicy, just wished they had add some vermicelli noodles on the side and a more fresh cabbage. Their condiments is very general and basic, I wished they had more pepper selections, such as the green pepper sauce, nuts and etc. In regards of their hot tea, I rather have my tea in a ceramic tea cup. All in all, service and quality is mid. I find the establishment a bit not sanitary.

Went to get Thai food and all the places were closed. This place had a poor rating on yelp but we went anyway. The eggrolls were not good. Do not order them. Food was basic. I don't recommend unless you're starving and everything else is closed.

I'd give it a 4.5. Standard Thai food offerings with discounts at lunch time and dinner time (5-9pm?). Green curry (mild) was filled with chicken and bamboo so they're not skimping on sustenance. Big portion of crab fried rice as well. The morning glory felt like they used a lot of stalk and not enough leaf, and is a bit pricey - but the price of produce is high so who can blame them. The drunken noodle was standard, not the largest portion either. Overall good food, decent prices, no frills

It certainly has an authentic thai feel if you've ever been to Thailand. They speak Thai! I expected nothing less from this place. This is definitely a very casual place so no need to dress up. It feels very dark inside and a little bit grimy I have to say. But I was very impressed with the price during lunch special as it is a big portion starting around 5 dollars which is completely awesome and unheard of! I was actually very surprised they open so early and already giving out special prices. Got the pad Thai, pad woon sen, and garlic chicken. Unfortunately I have to say it was on the sweeter side and wet side. I felt it should be a little bit more crispy for the noodles for a more authentic burnt taste. The garlic chicken with almost like a gravy. Both other noodles should be charred a bit more before adding the sauce. Overall the flavor is there but I felt it could've been amped more with better heat and time in the wok. For the prize this can't be beat so definitely a decent try. Competition can be stiff in Thai town! They do get busy during lunchtime. I noticed alot more take outs. There is ample parking during lunchtime in the lot in front of the restaurant. There could be other items on the menu that I needed to try to increase my star ratings.

Due to the name I thought this place would specialize in crispy pork, but not too much focus on the crispy pork. The pad was too sweet for my taste and noodles were under cooked. The pad see ew was okay, the noodles were over cooked and kind of mushy. Fried wontons were good, but you can't really mess that up. Valet parking starts at $3.

Terrible service, rude waiter, especially the older gentleman with glasses, and mediocre Thai food. Please take your business and loyalty to Thai Patio or Thai Central across the street. This place was my favorite especially because they're open late at night but they just lost a long time customer yesterday. I ordered for pick up through GrubHub and they gave my food to a different person. Restaurant did not admit responsibility for their error and seemed as though it was my fault. I left the restaurant with no food and ended up ordering at a different restaurant in the same plaza.

The worst Thai restaurant I have been too. The Thai boat noodle tastes like plain water. The service is horrible. We paid them with cash and they never gave us back our change and I had to ask for a receipt. There was flooding in the restaurant as well. All of the server did not look inviting to any of the customer as I was observing them. Never ever going back. Drove 1hrs there.

I had a disappointing experience. Despite requesting a mild Tom Kha, it was served overly spicy and garnished with coriander, which, tasted soapy and unpleasant. I won't be returning. won't be ordering again!

Located in a little Thai plaza, Crispy Pork Gang had a nice welcoming atmosphere that showcased their culture. We were seated quite fast, and we actually made it in time for the dinner specials time (the prices were so good!). We ended up ordering the Crispy Pork, Pad Thai, and Pad Kee Mao. The Crispy Pork definitely lived up to the name of being crispy - very great crunch and just great if you love pork skin! I personally prefer eating without the sauce. The Pad Thai was also pretty good! Solid portioning and great taste :) The Pad Kee Mao was a bit smaller in portion, but it still had really great flavor! Overall all of the food was great! Their parking is valet (I think it was $3 to park). Service was pretty quick and nice. Interior was home-y and comfortable. I enjoyed my whole experience and definitely will be back (have to try to go during lunch special hours!)

Whenever we craved Thai food, we always went to the Original Thai Bbq. This time though, we wanted to try a new restaurant. We ended up at the Thai plaza and were enticed by the name of this restaurant. We love crispy pork! There was only 1 table occupied, and so there was no wait to be seated. We ordered the pad Thai with crispy pork, and the crispy chicken wings, as well as Thai iced tea. We wanted boba with our Thais iced tea but they didn't have them that night. The food was ok, pretty decent. There were about 5 small cubes of crispy pork on it. Both dishes were good, but would still go back to the original Thai bbq. The restroom looked like a public restroom, had writings on the wall which kind of made it look and feel sketchy. I think they intended it to look like everyone was free to write on their walls, but it didn't sit right with me.

impolite, bad-mannered, ill-mannered, mannerless, unmannerly, and discourteous ........ ....................

Outdoor seating for our big group and they were flexible in us adding additional tables and chairs. I ordered the tom yum soup, which I realize I actually don't like, in general, but it's taste was consistent with other places so I'm guessing it's authentic. Cool presentation and large portion. The crispy pork is crispy and tasty.

Crispy Pork Gang is the G for being open 24/7 and having a menu that's majority $7-15 with good portion sizes. The food is good, but the fish sauce is pretty heavily used through the dishes. They used to have a lunch special $5.50 menu, but seems like they recently got rid of it. Can't blame them with inflation, and $7 is still a steal. There's lots of competition around them being in a strip mall with 4 other Thai restaurants, but they win with prices and hours for sure. The service is good and the food comes out very speedy, plus parking is pretty easy with the valet. The restaurant is a bit crowded with all the chairs and tables, but is very cozy.

Delicious food at rock bottom prices open 24/7! Awesome selection of everything you could ever want on a Thai menu! Prepared with love! Fresh delicious vegetables, crispy, and not overcooked fluffy rice! super friendly staff super easy parking they even let me sit outside with my dog delicious beverages too! New favorite spot. 2nd visit this week

The food was not good but the reason they got a 1 star was because they purposely added a credit card processing fee for three of our tables knowing we all payed cash and STILL charged us for it. The short Asian lady with glasses acted like she didn't speak English, but when we brought up to her about what that charge was, she knew exactly what change to give back. She knew exactly what she was doing.

Is it the most amazing Thai food ever? Not really, but this place does hit the spot when you're craving late-night 24 hour or more affordable Thai food! They have a pretty large menu that will most likely cover what you're looking for. Service is good and extremely quick. This is my husband and my go-to Thai spot anytime we're coming out of a concert or show. My husband is extremely limited as he's got seafood, seaweed, and anything from the ocean allergy. Crispy Pork Gang is VERY accommodating and can make most dishes shrimp paste or fish sauce free. We eat here every month or two so have worked our way around the menu. Some of our go-to dishes are: * Tom Khai * Pad See Ew * Pad Woon Sen * Panang Curry * Mango & Sticky Rice * Chicken Satay * Rad Na

My party and I got here after midnight and were promptly seated and given menus. We ordered our drinks and food about 10 minutes after getting there; our drinks got to us incredibly fast and we only waited on our food for about 15 minutes altogether. The food was good and you're served big portions; we got chicken pad Thai, shrimp fried rice, and shrimp cakes for the table. The Thai tea tastes just as it does at any other restaurant. Though there were about 10 people inside the restaurant altogether, it wasn't overly busy and it didn't feel cramped for a small space. Minus one star because we were only checked on once after getting our food and I couldn't get anybody's attention when I needed to order a side of rice. There was plenty of parking in the lot though it might've just been because it was way past midnight. I look forward to coming back.

This is one of the greatest restaurants ever. I don't know how people be waiting low there be some haters.

Very good great fried rice with chinese sausage or crispy pork and amazing service! amazing late night spot it's great that it's 24/7 and very generous portion sizing!!!

Real good authentic Thai food. Went back few days after again. It's on my route I'll be stopping bye more.

Crispy pork over thai rice was awesome here!!Service was good and ambiance was pretty standard for a basic Thai restaurant, but nothing spectacular. Affordable dishes with large portions. Everything tasted fresh!!

Not where I would go for a nice Thai dinner, but if you end up in Hollywood past midnight having missed dinner, it is a godsend. A little overpriced, but open and serving up great Thai food. Definitely a good option for the late night crowd.

I am not one to write reviews. However the Nasty Woman owner at Crispy Pork Gang deserves it. I've tried 3x. I've dined in and take out. Today I ordered the usual vegetable pad Thai with tofu, I asked for extra peanuts. She repeated back the order and I said "are you able to do extra peanuts". I heard you she responded, next time I charge you extra $2. I arrived gave her a $10 (this included a tip). Got home and NOT ONE VEGETABLE pulls of peanuts, I began surfing for vegetables. NOT ONE! NOTHING GREEN. I called and someone handed her the phone. I said there is NOT ONE vegetable. She cut me off and said look underneath the noodle, i saw them put in!!! Ma'am. STOP. She blatantly lied, it rolled of her tongue so quick. I am totally convinced this woman does not like the blacks or the dark brown. Every single time. She's horrifying. I quit. Thai is hard to find and it be good. She was alright, and now I would give them NO STARS. And the pad Thai had no flavor, nothing. So disappointing, this was my World Series pre party! Booooo crispy pork evil gang !!'

I ordered on door dash. Veggie egg rolls, curry with rice, and pad se ew. Did not get the rice. The egg rolls were ONLY CABBAGE!! Do not spend your money on egg rolls! They are filled with ONLY CABBAGE! I also called and asked for hot sauce the women on the phone said she would put some in and did not!

I came here with my son and my wife for lunch and I was charge 18 % of services Charge despite that my son is only 9 month be aware they have a sign they going to charger 18 percent when haven't a party or 4 in my case there was 3 and my 9 months son and I was still charge

A very extremely solid 3. It's "technically Thai," and completely edible, and moderately tasty. But. Any place that has a Cheesecake Factory long menu- is serving frozen meat, pre cooked all the things, and making heavy use of the microwave. That said- is that what we all do at home? Doesn't mean it's not 'good'- but it is giving major Chef Mic (rowave) vibes. Big plus- open 24 hours- and okay ish park situation. Service fine, immediate seat, clean too. The Thai diner of ThaiTown. And it works.

Came here late on a Friday night, probably 2am. This place was still alive and busy. Probably because it's one of the few places open late that's not your typical fast food place. I wanted a soup to bring be back to life after a night of socializing. I got the gang noodle. It was good. I would try something different next time. Their menu is pretty expansive. Nice to know this place is open late, it's definitely why it gets a high 4/5.

We ordered fried calamari, Thai basil over rice with crispy pork, pad see ew with crispy pork and oh my. First of all, the fried calamari went crazy fire. It's not the usual american calamari that you'd expect, it's way juicier and tastier. Also, I don't know what those sauces are that came wit it, but wow, they are so good! Tasted like honey mustard mix and sweet and spicy sauce. The thai basil over rice with crispy pork was also really good. The pork was cooked almost perfectly (not greasy at all) and came with the perfect fitting sauce. Sweet umami flavor sauce with rice, my husband vacuumed the whole plate lol Lastly, my husband loved my pad see ew but I didn't like it quite much due to the strong flavor. Overall, Strongly recommend! The service was super friendly, the ambiance is casual for hangouts with friends and family. They also had outdoor sitting area.

If "we have low standards" was a restaurant Eaten here dozens of times many late night meals but realizing that there's something wrong with this place, it's been around for so long. It's just got this really embedded smell like a mixture of soot and griddle grist that permeates all the food so everything you eat has a shared taste of gristle grit, kind of like barbecue pork so it's kind of disgusting that even if you try to, enjoy a dish. It's got some other flavors in it that are seemingly unnatural especially for a vegan. It's kind of a disgusting place to me now that make anything taste bad .

Best Boat Noodle Soup in Los Angeles. Service is quick and there is always seating available, if you go before 9pm. After 9pm, it's hit or miss.
