"In Haller Lake I covered the November 21 closure announcement of Pop Pop Thai Street Food, which had served noodle soups and other Thai dishes for nine years and planned a free farewell dinner the following day on November 22 starting at 4:30 p.m. until food ran out." - Harry Cheadle
"Those on the north side of Seattle know that this restaurant, hidden from the street, serves up excellent Thai food. Recommended: the brilliantly pink noodle soup known as yen ta fo (here called Red Sea Noodle Soup) along with the braised pork leg with mustard greens." - Eater Staff
"Extraordinary things are happening at this unassuming hot spot squeezed between a T-Mobile store and a Jimmy John's in a North Seattle strip mall. Pop Pop serves delicious comfort food—including a few rare specialties—all delivered in under 10 minutes and for a reasonable price. Highlights include the larb, a dish of minced pork or chicken with fish sauce, lime juice, fresh herbs, and roasted ground rice, as well as the grilled chicken. The restaurant's name is a take on the Northern Thai dish kai yang : skin-on thigh meat marinated in coconut milk, then rubbed with spices, garlic, and lemongrass. But the Red Sea noodle soup tends to steal the show with its fish balls and fried tofu floating in a broth tinted fuchsia from salted soybean paste."

"Also nearby, Pop Pop Thai Street Food — which appears on Eater’s list of excellent Thai restaurants — is another notable spot in the Aurora Ave area." - Gabe Guarente
