Make no mistake: You can get Thai food at Pok Pok, but it doesn't serve pad Thai. This is Northern Thai street food, and the most ubiquitous street comestible found in Bangkok is Pok Pok's signature dish: kai yaang, crispy chicken roasted with tasty Thai spices like lemongrass served up with sweet-'n'-sour sauce. For the whole bird, you'll shell out a cool $7.95. The restaurant operates like a street vendor, too; you order out of a mini-storefront with the option of eating in a plastic-wrapped lean-to, or enjoying it as takeout in front of the tube. (LS)
