Pok Pok is one of my all time favorite Portland restaurants. It's the vehicle that launched super chef Andy Ricker and was named Best Restaurant by the Oregonian in 2007.
What I love about Pok Pok is Ricker's commitment to presenting us Thai food that is probably more authentic than what is being served at the restaurant down the street actually run by Thai people. There is a sense of defiance at Pok Pok, against simply serving the Americanized palette of Southeast Asian food. Which basically means there is NO "Pad Thai", whiteboy.
Ricker recently opened the Whiskey Soda Lounge across the street too, as a place to hang out and grab a drink while you wait for your table at Pok Pok.
