Yummy Thai food on k road! Would recommend the crispy pork belly main and the chicken wings! Succulent and melt in your mouth with a nice amount of chili and basil leaves! The Chiang mai curried fried noodles were tasty with a thick coconut like broth but I felt it didn’t pair well with thick egg noodles. Too many crispy noodles on top which made it hard to eat. Overall yummy food! Will be back!
Didn't initially like the look of the menu due to it being focussed around "modern thai" however was greatly surprised! Everyone I sat with thoroughly enjoyed their meals. Highly recommend Mussaman Curry with Wild Goat
I’ve been wanting to try this place for quite some time now but schedule could get in the way until now. Located in the popular street called K’ Road in Auckland, this place is sandwiched between multicultural restaurants and strip clubs but apart from the hustle and bustle of this street you will find peace within its premises surrounded with amazing aroma from the kitchens.
Been to a fair few BYO's in my time but Pokpok takes the crown. Came with a group of 12 and couldnt fault the service or food. The caramelised pork belly was butter soft and the brisket green curry was all sorts of delicious. Will be back!
The food is really delicious. The price versus portion of servings is quite fair. The ambience was nice and very accessible. The staffs are nice, friendly and very accommodating.

WOW! amazing food! everything we ordered were so full of flavour. We had the Crispy spring rolls that had a warm and peppery flavour,Papaya Salad which was crunchy and spicy. The Pad thai though I felt lacked fish sauce but nice and moist. The prawn tom yum soup was rich and spicy but i thought was a bit too sweet which overpowered the sourness. Overall, really happy with the food and service also great. We also went at the wrong time as there was a large group and we coulld barely hear ourselves talk so ambience wasnt great.
Their wings and beef green curry are my absolute favourite and I’m always craving them!
Just so people know, this is more of an asian fusion restaurant, not your typical Thai restaurant take away kinda thing, which is what I think some of the negative reviewers think it is...
Delicious food and I’ll keep coming back for sure. Keep it up.
Food was great, we got a range of the small plates items including the soft shell crab, satay chicken, caramelised pork belly, spring roll and the papaya salad. All were great, I especially loved the caramelised pork so soft and the fat just melted in your mouth. Food also came out really quick, especially because there were two large groups also ordering food. 100% recommend, I’ll definitely be back for a BYO night with friends!
Super delicious, I reckon it’s a bit underrated. Everything we’ve tried were all soooooo good. Out of all the dishes we’ve tried, top 3 would be the Wild Goat Curry, Beef Brisket Green Curry, Coconut Poached Salmon. Service wasn’t the friendliest though, the waitresses were always cold and angry. Friday and Saturday evenings could be a bit rowdy with lots of BYOs.
Food is so good! Ordered pad thai and green curry with beef brisket. So yum especially green curry. Serving size is average, some might say food is overpriced. Pokpok wings were yum but overpriced (4 wings for $10).
Lovely food all the food was so fantastic everybody cleaned their plate!!! Server was accommodating even though we were massively steamed. Will come again!! I got the crispy pork belly and recommend to anyone reading
Wonderful night at our work Christmas party. The staff were so lovely and accommodating and really put the extra effort in to manage our numbers and variety of dietary requirements. Super cheap as well and BYO. Highly recommended for a group get together.
Best Thai restaurant in town !!! You will not regret 🥰 specially Pad Thai OMG 😋 sooooo yummmmyyy . . . The Best 🤩
For a catch up dinner, we tried Pok Pok Thai in K Road and manages to arrive prior to a large party due arrive, so we were encouraged to order before the encroaching group. The restaurant was cute and quaint, staff was very friendly and particularly nice enough to advise of a pending 22 people expected to arrive.
We ordered a mixture of entrees including deep fried chicken spring roll, sweet sticky pork belly and chicken satay. The outstanding highlight was the exquisite pork, so sticky, sweet and unctuous morsels of tender yet caramelized in texture.
For our mains, we settled on coconut poached salmon and the Tom Yum prawns. The salmon was exceptional tasting, delicately cooked and beautifully presented in a fragrant red curry coconut cream gravy with lemongrass mushrooms.
I’d like to try more of the menu as there was several simple but impressive dishes. Pok Pok Thai is a fantastic find delivering a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience. Highly recommended!
Nice Asian restaurant. The food is really tasty and portions are big in comparison with other restaurants.
Need to be ordered inside. The service wasn’t really fast.
The restaurant is next to the road, so it’s a bit noisy.
BEWARE: it takes a couple weeks to stop thinking about the Crispy Pork on Rice. So much that we went again only 3 weeks after and I didn't even need to look at the menu, I ordered it again. 11/10 guys. Pork aside, the place is great, staff are so awesome, atmosphere is buzzing! A special mention to the money bags too weeeeoww, like no other!!
Great food at a great price! Lots of options to go through, so I'll definitely be back to try some more! The caramelised pork belly was divine.
One of the best thai food in town
We came here without a booking and were able to get a table. Great service, was just one guy on the floor and he was working so hard, yet still managed to have high energy and genuinely friendly. Food was delicious too. Definitely recommend! Great serving sizes for the price- good value for money
You definitely need to book for this place on a weekend! The service was good and the food prices are great, and serving sizes are quite good.
It is VERY loud as it seems to be the place to byo (admittedly that's why I was there too) so don't expect a peaceful dinner on a weekend evening! Well done to the staff for getting food out relatively quickly when they were fully booked! Would definitely come here again.
