Pokpok Nw

Very nice spot. I have heard a lot about this place ever since moving here to Portland. Unfortunately it has taken me this long to finally get here. We visited the NW location. To our surprise there was still a half hour wait when we got there around 9:00pm. It was nice to be able to order drinks from the bar while we waited. We had the chicken wings, veggie salad and pork cheek/shoulder with jasmine rice. Every dish was very unique and flavorful. Very hard do decide on a dish because of how many different options there are. Would have been helpful to have some recommendations/suggestions from our waitress. Everything I read got me super hyped on this restuarant but the service felt a bit lack luster. Other than that food and drinks were great, a bit on the pricey side.

Service and environment is good with less waiting time than the main restaurant. But food is super salty! Their signature fried chicken taste is ok but salty. Overall food balance is not good at all. The ground pork dish is super super super salty, even with rice. You can’t even taste the food itself but just salt. I don’t really understand why the rating is so high. Maybe local people like salty food? But if you are a traveler with normal diet, then food is way too salty for you. This is definitely not authentic Thai food.

Really enjoyed our lunch here. Got the signature wings and the northern Thai pork should and pork belly sweet curry. The curry was delicious with some sticky rice. The wings are tasty and so meaty. Flavorwise we both prefer the San tung dry twice cooked wings but these are nonetheless awesome. The salted limeade is really delicious and we also tried some local pdx brews

Unique Thai restaurant experience! I have tried a lot of Thai restaurants and this is by far one of the best I have tried. I tried their signature chicken wings and it was coated in fish paste and chili. Bear in mind it can be a bit salty so it's best to have with rice! Then I tried their curry noodles as well. The curry was fragment but not too overwhelming while the noddle was al den te! Overall, great experience!

Lots of people can say it's a tourist trap and it may be but whatever, their wings, drinks and dishes are really good. The drinks are really well made and the curry we had was delicious although we order some cones, don't remember the name but didn't dig them that much. Although thumbs up for this nice vibe restaurant.

If you're looking for "traditional" Thai food, this is not the place; although, the food maybe good, it's not my thing. This is Thai street food and the wings are delicious, but that's about it and I think I did not enjoy the experience so much because it was hot outside and the A/C was either not working or not working hard enough. If you're looking to try something new and outside of traditional Thai like "pad thai" or "pad kee mao", I recommend you trying it out.
