A big thank you to Rusty, the owner of Kra Pow! She is so nice and accommodating. I reached out to her during after hours, and she responded quickly when I had an inquiry about placing an order for an upcoming family gathering. After going over the menu, I decided to order party trays of chicken pad see ew and chicken basil fried rice. I let her know that one of my family members has a seafood allergy, and while I was initially nervous about cross-contamination, my concerns disappeared when I saw Rusty at pickup. It made me feel like she was there to ensure that everything was done properly and on time. Our interaction was brief since I was running late, but it was such a pleasure to meet her. She even went out of her way to lend me her reusable tote to carry the party trays. Literally the best service! As for the food, everyone enjoyed it which says a lot given my family's Thai background. Everything tasted good. I will definitely consider using Kra Pow again for future events and suggest you do too! read more

I've been here twice and they've been consistently amazing. The food is great, the service is quick, and the overall food hall is clean. My only complaint is they took their fried wings off the menu...consider this my official submission to bring them back! read more

Kra Pow Thai Eatery - PINEAPPLE FRIED RICE - Thai Near Me - Whittier, California

I would 100% be a regular here if I lived closer. This small business takes great care and precision in providing quality food, which comes at a price of a longer wait. It's worth it, though, unless you're someone who gets hangry. I ordered the tomyum fried rice with grilled chicken because I've only ever tried it as a soup and I wasn't disappointed by this creative twist. It retained the original aromatic ingredients and the rice was piping hot and fluffy.  I also loved the green curry with skirt steak. It's a hefty portion that will leave you stuffed afterwards, in a good way. There's plenty of vegetables in there and the balance of curry and rice is accurate. There's plenty of tables in the food hall to enjoy your food fres, which I recommend, but you can also easily take it to go. read more

Overall: 3 stars, food was alright. Service was nice and food came out quickly. Price is relatively high which didn't help with the food not being the best. The Service: Service was nice, the person taking my order was able to answer any questions I had. Food came out in about 10 minutes. Would be nice if there was a buzzer since I had seating further away so I would have to walk back to check on if my food was ready. The Food: Pad Thai w/ BBQ pork - Level 1 spice. I appreciate that they have different spice levels. The Pad Thai seemed overly sauced and too sweet for my taste. It was hard to eat because it felt like too much. The BBQ pork was nice and fatty and complemented the noodles well. Tom Yum Soup - Portion size was rather large - I was a bit thrown off since they asked if I wanted a protein so I chose Tofu and it added an extra $3 to the cost of the soup...The menu wasn't very clear that it was an extra charge. Soup was alright, I wish the tom yum flavor was stronger! Price: Pretty expensive - for the two items I ordered, it came out to be almost $40! The Atmosphere: Locate in Rodeo 72 so it is very busy and bustling. There is plenty of seating indoors and outdoors so would be good for large groups. Parking: Located in a big shopping center but Rodeo 72 is quite busy so you may have to park a bit further away. read more

So I've been going here for a while and today I experienced what I call price gouging. The menu says one thing and I was charged something else..... I asked about the price and was told a new menu was coming food is good but ..... a 32 oz bowl for 32$ is crazy.... That's a 10$ jump in the last 6 months..... I bought 2 today but that was my last visit. And I'm telling everybody I know about the excessive price changes. This is what causes a good eatery to fail. Place is usually busy today not so much ...... they'll continue to see a decline if this is how they do business. read more

PORTION size issue and excessive charge. They use the small 24oz black container for your order, yet charge what a full plate would cost in a restaurant! It's a shame -people have grown complacent and accept the non-acceptable. This is price gouging and taking advantage of consumers! Krawpow: 34oz is more than 4 cups and anyone can clearly see from photos that you are not serving more than 4 cups in your container. Stop. read more

I bought the pad Thai chicken medium spicy, it has a good kick, not to mild or spicy. It's delicious read more

Kra Pow Thai Eatery - Chicken pad Thai medium hot - Thai Near Me - Whittier, California

First time at Kra Pow Thai @ Rodeo 72, and wow -- what a flavorful adventure! I went with the shrimp Pad Thai (medium spicy), and it did not disappoint. The noodles were perfectly cooked, super fragrant, and had that signature tangy-sweet balance that makes your taste buds do a little happy dance. The shrimp? Huge, crispy, and fresh -- generous portion too, so points for that! Now, the garlic rice... eh, not my favorite of the night. A bit underwhelming compared to the star power of everything else on the plate. But the Thai spicy tater tots totally stole the spotlight -- crispy, crunchy, and with just the right amount of heat. That aioli dipping sauce? Chef's kiss. The menu is calling me back already -- next round, I've got my eye on the garlic skirt steak bowl, a comforting green curry, and maybe a plate of Pad See Ew. If everything's as good as that Pad Thai, I might become a regular here real quick. read more

I really wanted to love it especially since the reviews are so good. But I thought it was just ok. I ordered the grilled chicken bowl with garlic rice. It wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. It felt like it was missing something. And their "chili" sauce tasted like tajin which I didn't love. read more

I had Pad Kee Maw with skirt steak on Friday!! (Whittier location) AMAZING!!! Flavorful to the T! I also had the pineapple fried rice!!! Muuaahh chefs kiss... flavor all day!! Ill be back! read more

All-around delicious and hearty Thai fare. The Pad See Ew is satisfying, the greens are perfectly done and abundant. The yellow curry with chicken (level 2) was decently spicy and the large chunks of veggie on the al dente side. Rice is really good too. The crab fried rice is really good! Soft shell crab adorned the fried rice that is perfectly seasoned with a solid amount of crab meat cooked in with it. I could eat this all day. Service is great and ambiance is food hall chic. read more

I've tried a few places in Rodeo, but honestly never found any real gems, so I hadn't been back for a while. I decided to give this spot a try today since the reviews looked decent, and I ordered the Pad See Ew. The portion was bigger than I expected, and I like that you can choose your spice level. I went with level 3, and since I enjoy spicy food, it was just right for me. Honestly, I didn't have high expectations, but this turned out to be a great Pad See Ew spot! I'll definitely be coming back. read more

We absolutely love Krapow! The Pad Kee Mao (drunken noodles) is an absolute must!! I get mine with the barbecue pork, and it's so good that I almost can't imagine coming here and not ordering it. The Tom Kha soup is also outstanding. It's a dish that I order virtually every time I have Thai food, and theirs is truly one of the best (if not THE best) I have ever had. This time around, we also tried the Tom Yum Fried Rice, also with barbecue pork. Insane! Another dish we will have trouble not ordering every time! The portions are super generous (big plates for a very reasonable price!), the flavors are authentic, and you can really tell they use fresh, quality ingredients. Even though there are other restaurants at Rodeo 72 we've been wanting to try, it's hard to imagine choosing anywhere else when we know Krapow is there! Could not recommend this spot more! read more

This is the latest Thai food addition to the West Whittier in 2025 nestled inside the extremely popular Rodeo72. I visited on the day of "Luau and Low Riders" where the management of the establishment showcased local lowrider cars and artists from noon to 10pm, and my favorite go to at Rodeo is definitely the Kra Pow, Karai, and the Spring Roll place across the hall. Thai food is prepared at order, the ingredients are true to origins and the taste is great. Protion is appropriate too, imo. Now finding a seat was probably the hard part today due to the event taking place all day, same goes for parking, but I'm happy to see that a venue that support local businesses is doing well. Kra Pow is definitely a spot to check out for all foodies. Pad Thai is my other favorite here. Noodles are chewy and never crumbled together, flavored to perfection not too heavily oiled. read more

Food was a bit of a wait, and they were out of a few items by the time we went but what we were able to try was delicious! I had the Thai bbq pork with the garlic rice. The portion was huge and the flavor was amazing! Came with two different sauces but I didn't need them to be honest. We also had the yellow curry shrimp with rice and the flavor and portion was well worth the wait. It was robust, had great spice, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. We also tried the curry tater tots and calamari and both were perfectly fried. We would come back! read more

With so many choices at Rodeo 72, it was hard to decide what I wanted to try first. I went with Thai and chose the chicken the pad Thai since I feel like that's a solid choice at any Thai place. The cashier was rushed, but friendly when taking my order. I kinda got the sense that they might have been short staffed, because the other person working was super busy and rushing around too. My food was ready about 15 minutes after ordering. The pad Thai was super sweet, but overall I enjoyed it. I ended up mixing the garlic rice with the pad Thai to help absorb some of the sweetness and sauce, which ended up being perfect. Overall it was a good experience and I'd order from here again, but I'd probably try a different dish. read more

Hands down my favorite Thai place! I highly recommend ALL of it! By my favorite is the fried shrimp. They make everything to order and food is so fresh & hot when you get it.

The food is amazing and the service is great. It's different from other generic Thai places because this place has so much more flavor and the steak is so tender even my two year old can eat it no problem. And their sauces are all great which compliments their food well. read more

Food is great but service is pretty slow (even just to order). If you have time, this place is worth a try for sure! I've had the papaya salad, BBQ chicken, and BBQ pork more than once and they're all delicious! Great flavors and tastes fresh. Reminder, Thai spice is SPICY! I got a 3/5 on the spice and it was borderline too spicy for me. LOL. My second time around I got spice level of 1 and it was good! Looking forward to coming back despite the service being slow. Yummy! One last thing that just doesn't seem right to me: $4-5 dollars for a side of rice. None of the grilled proteins come with rice! Does that warrant knocking off one star? Almost. Anyways, this place is good! read more

This is my favorite Thai eatery, so sad they moved from CH but happy to see them doing so well! We finally made it out to visit! Every dish is absolutely delicious and packed with flavor. Plus the portions are big! Some of our favorite dishes are the pad see ew, pineapple fried rice and crying tiger beef! Don't sleep on this place, give them all the business they deserve! read more

On the padseeew alone, I think this place competes with other thai restaurants around the area when it comes to flavor. From a 1-5 spice scale, I got 2, and even though I can take spicy, I was surprised with the kick. Nothing mouth numbing, but it felt more like a 3. Portion size for the amount you pay is generous. Would come again. read more

We went to Kra Pow located in the Rodeo72 food mall and it was very good!

We will definitely try this place again! read more

Absolutely top tier! My go to spot! Shout out to the owners and all of the employees are phenomenal!

Going in one afternoon, Kra Pow has several different options to choose from. I settled on their pad see ew, with beef as the main protein. The staff was kind and helpful with everything needed for a take out order. I got home half an hour later, and my meal was still warm! After playing the pad see ew, I found it was a good sized portion, especially compared to other Thai restaurants in the area. The best part was how flavorful this pad see ew was! I was not expecting the burst of savory sauce and great balance of noodles, vegetables and meat. For me, there's no other need to get other pad see ew around here, I will just come to Kra Pow! read more

Thai inspired rice and/or noodle bowls that are impressive in terms of quantity and freshness. I ordered the krapow bowl with the BBQ pork, medium spicy, with noodles instead of rice (+$2). The pork had a very nice grilled char to them and the spiciness level was no joke, which I enjoyed. I will dock one star for the noodles, which were a bit too soft, and the pineapple agua fresca which my wife and I both thought tasted too syrupy and sweet (not refreshing). But these are minor quibbles for an otherwise excellent addition to the Whittier dining scene. read more

Big fan of the food at Kra Pow! Been eating their food since they opened up in Chino, where the owners Rusty and Cliff packed up and moved to the new, SUPER busy Rodeo 72. Some of my favorite things here are the Pad See Ewe and pad kee mao, the bkk and crab fried rice, crispy pork belly...even the humble grilled chicken is a charred delight that just hits the spot when I want something light (or something that fits my protein macros). Also try the tots, they are seasoned with a proprietary blend of spices with some slight sour notes that makes me want to eat a tray of them (which I have at an event they catered). It's very busy here, but they get the food out as fast as they can. It's definitely worth the wait if you're visiting the food hall! read more

I love Thai food and this place now ranks as one of the best Thai I've ever had. They were extremely busy but still managed to provide friendly and efficient service. The Thai basil fried rice was delicious and just the right amount of spice. The grilled skirt steak was perfectly cooked and the sauce was the perfect addition to the meat. I will definitely have to return to try all the other dishes and drinks! read more

Tried their new Shrimp Fried Rice and it was honestly amazing. There's this deep, umami flavor that really sets it apart from your typical fried rice. I also ordered the outskirt steak on the side- nice pieces, super tender, and it basically melts in your mouth. The two sauces it comes with pair perfectly. To top it off, they brought out donut holes that were warm, cinnamony on the outside, and soft on the inside. Felt like a full, well-thought-out meal from start to finish. Definitely coming back! read more
