Crispy Pork Gang Thai Restaurant

We love this place! We probably order from CPG like twice a month. I get the fried fish appetizer with extra sauce every time! The turnover with the staff seems to be a little high, but the staff is always friendly. The place is always clean and the silverware and plates are clean and that’s important at late night places in my opinion. We also get delivery from there often and the food normally comes hot and fresh. The consistency with some of the soup dishes isn’t always there, but it’s always good!

Review: Crispy Pork Gang Crispy Pork Gang is a hidden gem with a pretty venue and great location. Prices are good, and the food taste is on point. The standout for me was the Beef Pad Thai (item #23) - flavors were spot on. Service was fast, and parking was a breeze, making it a convenient spot. However, finding a piece of eggshell in my pad Thai was a bummer. One mistake, but overall food quality was solid. Pros: - Delicious food with good prices - Pretty venue & great location - Fast service & easy parking Cons: - Foreign object in food (eggshell in Pad Thai) I'd go back for the flavors alone.

If you were looking for a great hole in the wall restaurant that serves delicious food that is quick and delicious come here! We were in the area from a town north of here for a quick bite to eat that wasn’t a big crowded restaurant. The menu has a lot of variety and a lot to choose from. The portion sizes are big. You definitely have to come try out this. The interior of the restaurant is not fancy. Don’t come here expecting a great ambience. But don’t be fooled!! You will come back.

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 threw up in the trash can by the door. I paid $18 for rice and everything was yesterday’s food. I told the management, they refused. Two pieces of pork. 2 shrimps, a lot of rotten chicken and rice that had been heated 10 times. No supervision. Maybe it’s this poisoning, I don’t know.

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.

Food was good. Place is 24 HOURS!! Lots of seating but not parking. Food is served fresh and fast.

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.

We ended up at Hsi Thai spot kind of late, one of the few places still open, which was a win. The vibe was super chill, nothing fancy, but the food totally hit the spot. We ordered a bunch of dishes to share- green beans with crispy pork (so good, super flavorful and crunchy), Tom Yum soup (spicy, sour, perfect for late- night cravings), shrimp with cabbage, walnut shrimp (sweet and creamy), Roti(flaky and buttery, amazing with curry), and Thai Papaya Salad (fresh, tangy, and a little spicy). Everything came out hot and fast, and honestly, it was just solid, satisfying ThaiFoos. The kind of place you'd come back to after a night out or when you want something comforting. Definitely keeping this one in my late night list.

Im not sure why there isnt more love for this place. The quality of their food is on par with their neighbor Ruen Pair but without the wait. Our server tonight was also super friendly and attentive. It is recommended that you get a dish that has crispy pork!

I don't know how a place like this caused us to run up such a large bill. We only had a few dishes and the check gave me sticker shock. Part of the problem is that gratuity is automatically tacked on, even for small groups, and they sneakily try to trick you into leaving an additional tip. Pro tip: trying to fool your customers into overpaying is not a good way to build loyal, repeat patronage. This place is not glamorous. The interior is old. While reasonably clean it falls short of even mom-and-pop standards. The bathroom looks disgusting. The entire parking lot is valet despite being a small strip mall. I don't know who the target demographic for this place is. I'm told by my Thai friends that the food is slightly more authentic tasting that some other Thai restaurants. Plus, the place is open 24 hours. Aside from that, there is much better Thai food in much nicer places at much better prices. Unless you have a specific reason for coming here, I would skip it.

They have a super cheap Lunch special! Pad kra pao was $7.99 and Pad see ew was $8.99! 11am-4pm. And service was nice too

The best late-night food spot! The Thai food here is amazing. Their spicy fried rice with crispy pork just melts in your mouth, with a little bit of crunch. Their pad thai is also really good, along with their kung pao chicken. Service is also so quick and friendly. It appears to be more of a hole in the wall, but do not let that deter you. It's a hidden gem for sure.

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.

You ever get into a fight with your family that drives you out of the house at 5:45am in the morning and you're not sure where to go? You don't want to eat diner food and you also dont want to hang out at the Starbucks with all the potential homeless. You want a great meal that will leave you happy and be in a safe space. I came to Crispy Pork Gang looking for a place to kill for a couple of hours. Granted, I know the waiter was weary so maybe I didnt get the best customer service at 6am in the morning. But once I indicated I was there to stay, ordered a thai iced coffee and Che-Po, I could feel he warmed up a bit. Even made sure I had all the right sauce condiments as my table was missing some. I know $21 is steep for a plate of roasted duck, red pork and crispy pork over rice with some veggies but mannnn, I destroyed that plate. I didnt realize how hungry and angry I was- def HANGRY. It was fresh and hot. I thought I could split it up to save it for later. Nope. I ate all of it. Im sure the waiter was shook at my voracious appetite so early in the morning. But I left satisfied. I know the place is rundown. Food is expensive but they have deals for sure (that looks like we are back to all right prices)...and when you need a place to go to that would make you feel more safe with a grumpy uncle waiter, and clearly no one else (except the uber eats drivers) I would take it.

I've ordered from here a lot but I think I'm done. For some reason they seem to forget something every time and at this point it's not worth it. The food is good but they just don't seem committed to caring enough. And the reason I started ordering it for delivery instead of picking it up like I used to is because they always seem to have an attitude when I come in. There's not a lick of customer service and you can be standing there for a good minute or two before someone even acknowledges you. I've seen them be rude to at least one other customer as well. I'm not sure if others get the same treatment. Also they can never seem to add soy sauce and chili oil when I ask for it. The last time I ordered they put one single packet of soy sauce even though I ask for at least 4 and nothing else which to me just seems a bit intentional.

Omg this place has gone down hill. I used to order from here like 8 years ago and the food was always so good but now that all the after hour people come from the club, the food is so bad! I ordered the beef salad and it was the worst! No cucumbers no tomatoes, they just put a piece of cage, they don't even cut it and some stale beef wtf. I waited more than an hour for delivery for this vrap and it was cold. I like the warm meet with the cold lettuce and cucumbers. I never tried this type of beef salad. It seems they are lazy to make the real dish. The picture looks better than it taste. So many robbery part of meat and cold

It's good but not that crazy to be charging $30 for one dish.. I'd try the next door restaurant next time

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

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.

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.

Placed an order online for pickup, super easy. Arrived on time, order was ready. Staff was quite friendly, greeted me as I entered. Handed me my food and said goodnight. Food was delicious, even after the drive back to Woodland Hills! Still warm even. They're open all night, so it makes an excellent option when you're hungry after midnight. The only downside is parking. They have a relatively small lot that seems to be primarily (if not completely) taken up by the valet company.

I had the Pad See Ew here and it made me bloated the entire day. My usual place's Pad See Ew never makes me bloat like this. It must be higher quality. Apparently low grade oil and noodles that aren't fresh can cause this. I feel uncomfortable all day unable to digest this fully. I don't think I'll be coming back unfortunately. The owners did seem nice but I have to be honest :(

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.

Food: bad. We thought it was going to be good based on the location and name. That was a stupid mistake. The pork tasted like it had been microwaved/reheated because it was obviously old: dried out and hard. I was excited to try it because of the namesake, so that was disappointing. I tried the wings, they were fine. But 10.99 for 6 wings? Complete rip off. The Pad Thai was gross and under seasoned. Boyfriend left with a stomach ache and didn't finish his plate (he loves Thai so this is a rarity). The Thai tea was even bad - it was basically just sweetened condensed milk and flavoring. Best thing we had? Diet Coke. Ambiance: there were 3 tvs playing, it was empty at 6:30 on a Friday and the service was still subpar. Price: outrageous for food that left a lot to be desired and provided only upset stomachs and grease-caked throats. Overall: don't bother coming here, every other place that shares their parking lot is 100x better.

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.

Food is not bad. The employees always have an attitude when you walk in. Zero customer service . Definetly will not be returning

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

our server was incredibly helpful and patient when we had questions about the food. this place is very highly recommended we enjoy the mango sticky rice, tom kha soup and definitely the pad thai. Really big portions which makes it worth it! I will definitely be back!

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.

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.

Came here today for mango sticky rice and noddles very good especially for 24 hour place

Always bangerz and they are forever open...the dream! So much variety on their menu, but my go-to is their Papaya Salad with Crispy Pork, don't forget to add the egg rolls!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Food and ambiance and service was really great, definitely will be coming back boat noodle was yum!

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

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.

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.
