 Pok Pok & Whiskey Soda Lounge Restaurant Review: Pok Pok started as a take-out shack for Asian street fare and has since expanded; and while that aspect remains, now surrounded by outdoor tables, there’s also a proper restaurant located just down the ramp in the basement next door. The Pok Pok dynasty has also spread to the Whiskey Soda Lounge where you can order a drink and a snack (deep-fried dried anchovies perhaps?) while you wait for a table. Cocktails feature everything from salted plum to drinking vinegars. Entrées reflect a variety of origins, from Thai street vendors to a famous Hanoi restaurant. But don’t miss the addictive Vietnamese chicken wings. The signature dish, kai yaang, is a fragrant roasted game hen stuffed with lemon grass, garlic, pepper and cilantro. Order several dishes and share---you really can’t go wrong, unless you’ve got a delicate tongue, in which case pay attention to the waiter’s warnings about the tuna salad. For dessert try the Pok Pok affogato---an exotic sweet created from condensed milk ice cream topped with Vietnamese coffee and paired with a Chinese-fried donut. |
