I had heard that Pok Pok has the best authentic Thai food that I would ever experience. It is true and was fabulous beyond words.
THIS IS THE BEST THAI FOOD I'VE EVER HAD ! ! !
My friend, Clark, who has a mutual love of Thai food, and I have been talking about going to Pok Pok for months on end. We finally were able to go there for lunch and found the food, service and whole experience to be perfect. We shared several dishes and every single one was delicious.
Here are some of the things we tried:
Kai Yaang
Half Bird $6.50 / Whole Bird $11.00
Roasted natural game hen rubbed with lemongrass, garlic, pepper and cilantro served with a spicy sweet and sour dipping sauce. Our signature dish.

The weather was beautiful and we enjoyed their outside seating. Service was excellent and knowledgable. The location is easy to miss. It is a mostly non-descript house and shack in the 3200 block of Division. We were there early, however, be aware that a line did form waiting to be seated.
