Portland's Pok Pok Comes to Columbia Street

Owner Andy Ricker will first open a small LES joint, and then a full restaurant in Brooklyn.

 

Rumors have been buzzing for weeks about the New York debut of Portland, Oregon's Pok Pok, a James Beard Award-winning Thai street food shop, and now it has been confirmed that Pok Pok Ny will open at 127 Columbia Street. The space used to house 5 Burro Café.

In Thai, “ny” can be roughly translated to “in the city.”

Chef and owner Andy Ricker also plans to set up a smaller shop (which will most likely open first, according to Grubstreet) on Rivington Street in the Lower East Side.

Grubstreet reports that the Brooklyn outpost will be a “full sit-down restaurant” with a small dining room and a large backyard that Ricker hopes to be able to use year-round.

Pok Pok gained a large following in Portland with their staple menu offerings, such as Vietnamese Fish Sauce Wings.

I'm really glad new businesses are coming down to Columbia Street. Now we just need to get some more early morning joggers out on the greenway path!
