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.
