Pok Pok La - Los Angeles

I'm sorry it's going to end. they could have been successful in another.

Great food!! Very nice wait staff who explained what we were getting and what kind of spice level we wanted to have. Unique selections and very nicely prepared and presented. We will definitely go again.... liked it so well we might reorder the same items! Only small complaint is: the restaurant is rather dimly lit to read menu so be prepared.

We ordered the chicken wings, brussel sprouts, crepe and papaya salad. The wings were great and had complex flavors. Sweet, spicy, slightly sour and sticky. The brussel sprouts were perfectly cooked and had a slight crunch. I had the crepe, which had mussels in it. I would never have expected it, but it wasn't awful. It definitely needed the siracha though. Was a tad bland. Finally the disappointment was the papaya salad. It tasted as if it weren't freshly made. Possibly made earlier in the day and sat in the sauce. Also he sauce lacked the zippiness I've had at other places.

Really appreciated the knowledgeable and friendly staff. Our server was super friendly and could tell us about items on the menu we weren't familiar with. Liked some dishes more than others but overall a good experience. Good hand crafted cocktails. Will return to try some other dishes I didn't try this time.

Authentic Thai unavailable outside of the country. Meticulous adherence to ingredients and traditional preparation. I know, as I've spend a fair bit of time in country. Ask Bryce to provide. No better Thai food in LA.
