On the Grid : Pok Pok

"I love that Andy Ricker is unapologetically replicating authentic dishes from Chiang Mai, even working directly with the source to make sure he is executing them properly. He is being true to the ingredient combinations that produce the punchy flavors of what you want out of great Thai food: sweet, charred, sour, hot, even sometimes funky. Opened in 2006, it's arguably the cornerstone of this now bustling food street destination and really the launch of Portland as a food city. The restaurant's eclectic ephemera and indoor/outdoor/upstairs/downstairs style pays homage to the street food stalls in Thailand. If you can't get in, or you are waiting on your table, visit Whiskey Soda Lounge across the street for a mini version of the Pok Pok experience in drinking lounge form." - Factory North

A Guide to Eating and Drinking Near Portland’s South Waterfront

"Epitomizing the neighborhood Thai restaurant with a menu the size of a young adult novel, Thai PK reliably delivers staples like spring rolls, crab Rangoon, tom yum soup, a range of Thai curries, and, of course, pad thai. All of these will satisfy, but the seafood specialties are the most memorable, including salmon panang curry, crispy tilapia green apple salad, and spicy catfish." - Nathan Williams

The restaurant offers curry for catfish, talipia, and salmon. Most thai restaurants do not always offer fish in their menu. The restaurant is spacious and opened with high ceiling. For first visit, we ordered house specials. My hubby loves the penang curry salmon and clean up his plate really fast. 😋 I ordered the Shrimp Pad Woon Sen, loves the wok heat and taste, but doesn't like the shrimp quality. Low rate shrimp. Otherwise, it would have been a 5 stars instead of 4. Service is fast and staff is friendly. Beautiful food presentation.

The basil fried rice w/ squid was a delicious combo. I wish the portions were just ever so slightly bigger but I'm pretty sure if you ask you may get more for a slight fee. The price is within reason and the service is most excellent! Will be coming back.

I frequent Thai PK for lunch as I work nearby. Every single time I go in with an expectation and it's met to exact standards. Consistency is key, and I believe the Thai food here is some of the best in Portland, OR. The Pad Thai is great (especially with ground chicken), I love their yellow curry, and the crispy chicken basil is to die for.

Had a nice lunch / early dinner at the place. Took a while before we found it, my friend can’t recall the name of the place to google it.😊 anyways, we were famished by the time we got there. Food was great and delicious. Did not wait long for the food to arrive. Great place, will be going back for sure!

Over the years this place has changed hands and its current iteration is good. Typical Thai dishes made for the American palate.

Amazing Thai place… no big frills inside, but clean and spacious enough but the food is the best I’ve had in Oregon. If you like traditional Thai flavor and Thai level hot dishes… this is your spot. I usually go level 3 hot - but get a 4 if you’re feeling brave.

We get Thai PK probably every other week since we moved here a year ago and it never disappoints. Such a great variety of options, all of which have been delicious. And the staff is always so friendly. One of the most consistent and reliable restaurants I have seen.

Nice friendly service, mediocre basil stir fry - really dislike that it’s served with a ton of lettuce mixed into the dish. Average Tom kha. Priced decently.

My first time in 50 years, and let me say, GREAT!! I went with a group of fine folks who recommended this place. Don't be swayed by the location, it's TOP quality food. We were sat very quickly. The inside ambiance is very quaint. Almost like a family kitchen. Extensive menu choices, including VEGETARIAN options. My food was quite simply delicious! And most importantly, PLENTY of food. Stop by, relax, give them your business and enjoy.

I'm embarrassed to say it took several visits to Thailand to try Tom Yum soup, or anything Tom Yum-related. But when I finally did a few weeks ago, I fell in love. I tried several places in Portland to try a hot and spicy soup like you do in TH. Most places were very tomato soup-like. I was hesitant to try here, but I was really craving a good bowl. My husband picked it up on the way home. It did not disappoint!! He ordered it 4-star spicy, and it was actually spicy! I usually order mine as spicy as you can get it, and it's usually super mild. This was perfect! Make-your-nose-run spicy. It had a ton of chicken and seafood too. It did not lack. My husband ordered Massaman curry and it was excellent. Nice spice for him at 3 stars. And plenty of meat and veggies. We also got sticky rice and peanut sauce. Yum!

Crispy basil chicken very nice. Shrimp Pad thai was filling with nice size & number of shrimp. Will definitely return for them.

20 years in Portland, having tried just about every Thai restaurant, but this was my first time here. Food was excellent. I appreciated the lighter touch with the oil. Service was a bit slow, but the crew was working hard. My Pad Ke Mao said on the menu it was spicy. It was flavorful but had no spice at all. Prices were incredibly reasonable. I'll be back for sure

This is our favorite Thai restaurant in Portland. The price is reasonable and the flavor is great. Our favorite dishes are duck curry, Thai fried chicken, and all the noodle dishes! Highly recommended Thai place if you are looking for yummy Thai food.

Ordered from here, ordered for my co-workers as well, ordered pineapple fried rice and didn't have pineapple????? What's up with that, first time eating there - will return but not satisfied with the rice. We were confused - pineapple in the name but not the food? The food arrived hot! So thanks for that. Good portion as well.

Delicious Thai food. A must try if looking for some spicy Thai food. Spicy level 2 is a good kick with not too spicy but spicy enough to eat and enjoy.

Great spot for lunch, reasonably priced. The people are very very nice. Not my favorite curry (yellow or red with chicken) but if I order it with beef, it's much better. That's kinda the vibe here - you have to know what to order and what to avoid. Salad rolls and peanut sauce are good. Noddle dishes are average. It's a reliably not-bad Thai restaurant in the neighborhood. People may rate them a 3 but I go there so often (I work nearby) that it would feel disingenuous.

My go-to for neighborhood restaurant Thai food. Pretty standard fare most of the time, but they have a wide selection of solid options. Staff have always been courteous and attentive. I've never had a meal that I regretted. If you're craving Thai food, this will absolutely do the trick!

ThaiPK is by far the best Thai restaurant in all of Portland and likely in the Pacific Northwest. It is always exceptionally delicious, served with great pride, kindness, appreciation, and they are very willing to customize the order to meet different in a variety of dietary restrictions. I have eaten at a great number of Thai restaurants in Portland, but Thai PK is by far the most delicious and the best value in town. They have so many standup dishes ranging from crispy basil chicken (not to be missed), salmon curry!, and delicious version of pad kee mao, exceptional, like curries? Try the red - if you'd like a little spice. Their papaya salad is wonderful- plus incredible, coconut shrimp and seasonable delicacies, such as pumpkin curries, and wonderful stirfry's, noodle dishes, and incredible soups and healthy choices in addition. This is seriously the best Thai food that you can find in this area. And even better that the people that own this restaurant, and every individual that works here is someone with incredible heart that you will feel so pleased to give your money to. This is a local business worthy of your support. If I could give it seven stars I would.

Thai PK is a great option for takeout during these uncertain times. Ordered pad thai with beef for take-out and they said they'd be ready in 10 minutes! Arrived and it was ready to go, and piping hot. Really friendly staff in my few minutes of interaction with them. They have huge portions, and it was very affordable too! ($10.50 at the time of this review) There is also a parking lot with easy access that makes pick-up a breeze. The restaurant itself was not open for seating, but it was very cute, with ample seating and plenty of lighting. Looks like a great place to check out for dine-in when the time comes. Would definitely go back to Thai PK!

This is more like 3.5 for me, but let's just round up. The food is pretty good, but I've had better. I ordered pad kee mao, pad se ew, and a sampler appetizer with spring rolls, fried tofu, fresh roll, and chicken wanton. The two noodle dishes were pretty good, but somewhat lacking in flavor. The portions were huge and had a good amount of veggies, which is always nice! Ordering online was quick and easy as was pick up. I will probably come here again because I like it better than the other Thai options in Hillsdale and Multnomah Village.

Absolutely the best, most reliable Thai food in portland. I am very picky about my Thai food, and have tried dozens of dishes at other restaurants. Thai food is one of my favorites and Thai PK always has the amazing flavor. High standard of cooking and excellent chef. Great customer service as well. My family's go to for years! Never change.

Love the fact that this place is right by my work! Simply love coming here on my lunch breaks. They are super quick and fast when you dine in, or if you don't want to wait just call your order ahead and it'll be ready to pick up before you know it! I've only been here during lunch hours and each entree I've ordered always came with a free soup! It's like a veggie hot and sour soup. It's not the greatest, but it is free and keeps your tummy happy until your actual entree comes! I usually get the basic fried rice, and the pad kee mao which I love! Sometimes the meat isn't the most flavored, but the over all dish is great! I love the fact that you can get in and out in 30 mins or less when you dine in! The customer service is amazing and I've always had a good experience coming here.:)

Very sweet welcoming environment great Thai tea. I went one day after work and was craving pad Thai l. I got the seafood pad Thai and sadly it was not the dish to curve my appetite. It taste like ketchup and soy sauce mixed. It was very dry and my scallops were cold. Didn't finish it. They give you a healthy serving if that matters. Thai tea 10/10. Probably won't try again but it's well kept establishment

Been a regular here a lot and this evening I ordered three dishes. Penang curry with chicken; Tom kha with chicken and vegetable tempura. This eve was the first time things did not go well. I did not even get the tempura because wait staff "forgot" and my Tom kha came without chicken. The curry was good though. When I explained the failed order to the staff the response was do you want a Thai ice tea. I politely declined. The kicker for me was the bill came and even though I did not get 2 of my dishes I got charged as if I ordered the way the food came. My thought/point --- make it right not by an ice tea but by not charging me for food I did not order.

I have driven by this restaurant 100 times and always wanted to try it. I'm so glad I finally did tonight. It is the best Thai food I've had in Portland. There are two places in Lake Oswego, I thought they were good but I have to say that Thai PK is way better and worth going to!! The stirfried rice with shrimp was great, the eggplant was fantastic and the sweet mango sticky rice was a great way to end the meal. Highly recommend this place! I will be back ASAP!

Oh my goodness, this place has won my heart! For the past several years, I have been in active pursuit of the best pad kee mao (drunken noodles). You can see all my Thai restaurant reviews. My first love is Baan Thai Authentic Cuisine in Beaverton off 185th Avenue. They have THE BEST pad kee. However, surely I needed to find another Thai place that also has good pad kee. After years of searching, I found another love -- Thai PK! The texture and flavor of the noodles are perfect. Good portion size. The type of noodle, amount of oil, and sauce flavor is very important in the making of quality pad kee mao. Also, the type and quantity of veggies. The pad kee here has basil (key ingredient), onions, broccoli, green bell peppers, carrots all in good proportion. Cabbage mix and raw bean sprouts takes up a corner of the plate; I really enjoy this fresh addition. I always get the tofu pad kee and the tofu here is cooked well! It's fried tofu and it's not too hard, not too soft; just right. I AM JUST SO IMPRESSED. Yum yum yum. I wish I found out about this place sooner. My husband order pad see ew and asked for no fish sauce or oyster sauce and they accommodated and his dish was good for what it was. We ordered a plate of mixed appetizers and that was pretty delicious also. No complaints really. They generously served peanut sauce for our salad rolls. Usually we would have to ask for more peanut sauce, but we didn't have to here. Service is really sweet. No problem with parking. AND they are open on Sundays!! Super bonus because a lot of Thai restaurants are closed on Sundays (lame!). I am stoked that I now can get pad kee mao that meets my standards in Beaverton AND SW Portland where I frequent.

I found this place looking through Yelp. And I'm glad I did. It was not too busy as I am visiting from the East Coast so I was eating there about 330 4 o'clock. Service was very good and fast. Lots of choices to choose from. I had the coconut shrimp for appetizer and the yummy Yum dum soup with chicken. And went with the pad Thai chicken. All was very good! I was asked if I wanted hot sauce which of course I did and they brought out a nice selection to choose from. I could only eat about half of everything but wanted to have that selection to try. If you're looking for Thai food I recommend this place.

We discovered this place when moving to the neighborhood last year and it actually topped our other Thai favorites! It's pretty much the only one we go to now because we are blocks away and it's that good. The staff is genuinely caring and friendly. You can tell that their food is made with love, which is so important! Makes me excited just to go inside. Some of our favorites are their pad kee mao, tom yum soup, mango jungle stir fry (I always ask to add eggplant and it's sooo good!), and house fried rice

Thai PK is my wife's and my favorite Thai spot in Portland! Their food is always fresh and delicious with incredibly fast turnaround times. We've had delivery orders that arrive in under 30 minutes and the food is still nice and hot. On top of that everyone there is incredibly friendly. Highly recommended! P.S. try the pad Thai lemongrass chicken. Awesome twist on a standard dish!

This place is right in my neighborhood and I am glad! I've already visited multiple times. The first time was a lot spicier than the second, so a little off with the consistency there in terms of how spicy mild/medium/hot is, but that doesn't really bother me because it just reminds me there's someone actually cooking the food. What we've had: The coconut shrimp - these were really good, perfectly crunchy on the outside (even from a delivery order), not too heavy on the coating. The only thing I couldn't get over was they felt a little sweeter than other coconut shrimp I've had ... it definitely felt like it was a sweetened coconut flake on the outside, but yummy nonetheless Yellow curry with tofu -pretty standard with what I've had elsewhere Pad Thai / Pad see ew - both really delicious and huge huge portions. We easily have these for dinner and lunch the next day. For now this is our go-to Thai place!

These reviews on single items are always a bit suspect. It doesn't do justice to a restaurants range or if they got a particular dish right or wrong. I should ask add I can't eat shrimp, so there's often a bit of adjustment that the kitchen has to make for me. I had the pad kee mao, which was supposed to be spicy. It was completely mild. When I mentioned that to my waiter, he quickly brought over a tray of condiments to spice it up. It was a tasty rice noodle dish. It has peasant clean surroundings. Efficient kitchen and fair price of $8. I should add that they brought out a complimentary bowl of soup-- but it was made with shrimp paste so I could not try it.

This is my favorite Thai spot in all of Portland! When I moved to PDX, I was very picky and particular about finding the best Thai restaurant because I typically order takeout once a week. I have tried out most of the top rated Thai restaurants/food trucks around the city and this is the only one I will return to. Their spice levels and food quality are always consistent and the food is extremely hot and fresh every single time we receive it. And they ALWAYS have our order ready in 20 minutes or less no matter what time of day we call in. Portion sizes are hugeeee and prices are very reasonable. The customer service is amazing and the woman who runs the front bar/takeout orders is so kind and friendly. I most frequently order their noodle dishes (pad thai, pad see ew, etc) as well as all of their curries but everything that I've had from here has been delicious. Truly 10/10 recommend!!!

I love their salad rolls and food is very good, generally speaking. Food is made fresh and good quality. They need to watch the liquid in take out vegetables. I ordered a larb salad once and it was swimming like the lettuce wasn't properly drained after washing. I did appreciate that it didn't come from a pre-washed bag of lettuce, however.

This is my third time coming here, as usual the tofu pad Thai is generous hot and delicious. The minty freshly cooked salad rolls come with the most perfect dipping sauce. These paired with a Thai ice tea are a perfect meal, ready to go in 15 minutes. So much pad Thai I can have it again later or share it with a friend, and all of this for less than $20? I love it. An easy choice for anytime you're having a hard day and need a delicious and affordable meal.

Horrible Experience!!!! Walked in sat down with hubby in a booth. Was not greeted or paid any attention for 10mins or so then water was dropped off.... (it's cool fairly busy) Three more tables walk in 3 top ,2 top , & 6top, I get it they were busy..... Girl finally came back took our order 2 thai coffees & couple entrees... easy breezy right? Another 15mins go by all other tables that walked in AFTER us had full tables of food brought to them. WHAT THE HECK!! We still didn't even get our coffees at this point !!! GIRL waitress paid no mind to us at all.... but she was looking at our table alright!?! We left and will NOT BE returning ... I will soend my money elsewhere

Super delicious Thai food for a great price! The portions are huge and the ingredients taste very fresh. I've tried the crispy chicken basil and it's so crunchy and delicious. Also you can never go wrong with some good old chicken pad thai! Nothing tasted old or reheated. Their Thai tea is served in a very tall cup, very Vegas-esque and a super cool touch! I will definitely be back here again to try more, especially for some more Thai tea!

For me, this is the best local Thai food around. Consistent and flavors are aligned with what I expect of Thai. Big fan of the Pad Thai, not too tomato based. Also love the Pad Se Ew!!! Their spring rolls are also pretty sizable and of value. Have never been disappointed with the delivery either.

I've been getting the pa'nang curry here for over a year. It is by far the best I've had in town. Supper fast service, really nice people, just the right amount of spice with "medium". The pad-thai is really good too. Everything tastes fresh. If you want an appetizer I suggest the coconut shrimp. 1/27/2016 Okay this place just keeps getting better every time I go. That's twice in a week. This time I ordered the salmon in panag curry sauce. It's probably the best thing on the menu in my opinion. I also got an order of crunchy egg rolls. They are okay, definitely not the best I've ever had. So again if you get a side I still recommend the coconut shrimp. This place was PACKED at lunch time. Plan your lunch break accordingly!

Dropped by after running some errands today and noticed this place was really nearby our place. We were sat down right away and give our menus. Our menus were really cute by the way. We ended up ordering the vegetarian gravy rad na and the yellow curry with tofu as our choice of meat. When it was brought to us I thought it was really cute that the rice for the curry was shaped like a heart. The curry was so flavorful and just overall perfect. The rad na was really yummy too and a lot bigger portion than what I expected. But hey, that's fine by me. Service was pretty quick but it's probably because there wasn't too many people in there. I imagine this place gets busy during the evenings. Parking is available in case anyone was wondering and staff was really nice. I would definitely Coke back or order take out if I'm ever feeling to lazy to leave the house.
