Sundae in the Park Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 This is pretty old news at this point, but Pok Pok LA is closed (as of March this year). Eater has a good rundown of reasons why Angelenos didn't embrace the concept or location (the article doesn't mention the other, nearby Ricker restaurant, Pok Pok Phat Thai, closed in Aug 2016). I'm sad I never made it to either spot, but coming from the north, I'd have to drive past Thai Town to get there. That means passing up some tremendous and tremendously cheap eats, and I could never quite bring myself to take the time. Which is kind of bizarre, considering that Pok Pok Portland is a must-eat whenever I'm in PDX. I guess it just goes to show how choice always depends on the available alternatives! Plus the allure of going to the original location (do the NY folks feel different about eating at a Pok Pok versus the Pok Pok?). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
