Pok Pok started as an insanely popular restaurant in Brooklyn that slowly started taking over the country.

The only thing that matters here is their fish sauce chicken wings.

Nothing else you order matters, so don’t sweat it.

Get those wings and you’ll be all set. Checked off the bucket list.

The other items we ordered were tasty (could have been spicier) and I love their Drinking Vinegar (they sell it by the bottle, sweet and sour elixir that goes excellently with sparkling water (and booze, don’t forget the booze).

I do think the Brooklyn outpost has tons more charm and character. Also waiting 2 hours for a table can elevate the dining experience a bit more and we walked right into this place (granted, it was as soon as they opened and we had a reservation).
