    Try a more faithful rendition of pad thai here: banana leaves topped with tangles of pork-fat-rendered rice noodles, tasty dried shrimp, preserved radish, sour tamarind and crunchy peanuts. Read more

    Can't go wrong with the regular noodles (traditional pad thai), but the wide noodles have enough surface area to get slightly toasted and crispy giving the dish a little extra in texture and flavor.

    Ike's Wings are perfectly crispy, with an extraordinary balance of sweet and spiciness. No order is complete without the vinegars. On your second visit, ask for the Khao Man Som Tam. Read more

    For carry out, they wrap the noodles in a banana leaf & coated paper (think the way deli sandwiches are wrapped). So if you don't plan to eat the noodles right away, best to xfer to a diff container.

    comparing the NYC one to Portland. The taste of the wings are great but the wings were too 'meaty'. Get the khao man som tum (sweet pork over rice, papaya salad), super tasty.

    Although a little pricey, we guarantee that these wings are worth every penny and you'll be licking the marinade off your fingers by the time you're done. Warning: the space is TINY so get it to go!

    6 Ikes wings to go on your way home from work is a perfect treat on your couch. Spicy is perfect- pickled veggies alleviate the kick- kick is worth it

    Even if you're not vegan, unless you love things that reek and taste of fish, get the vegan one. Wrap it in egg omelet ($2) if you really miss the egg.

    Get the wings spicy, that's a given. But ALSO get the Khao Man Som Tam. It's so crazily delicious. And the Pandanus water (free!) is tastytown.

    Forget gloopy delivery pad thai. Portland’s Andy Ricker has perfected the noodle dish—which comes five ways here—in a tiny, skinny-tabled space.

    Can we stop talking about the wings and start glorifying the crepes with the cuttlefish? Seriously jump on that dish immediately but not before a dusting on sugar, hot spice, and fish sauce.

    People come for the wings. You should order the kuaytiaw khua kai or the hoi thawt ... because you really can't find them anywhere else!

    Definitely check out the wings with sticky rice and one of the super refreshing vinegar drinks. You can skip the papaya salad, I was little

    Wings are stellar (I like spicy) but also order khao man som tum, which you can always take home if you can't finish!

    Thai style chicken wings. Don't forget to order the papaya salad (som tum) as well. Spicy and truly authentic.

    The chili powder is actually quite spicy. Adding a few teaspoons to your Pad Thai yields mouth melting levels of burn.

    Good Thai food at very reasonable prices. You can eat there but it's more of a take-out place.

    Try Kuaytiaw Khua Kai/Thaleh. The rice noodles are pleasantly crispy. My native Thai roommate approves!

    Get the spicy wings but mild papaya salad! Jasmine rice in a bag makes me feel like I'm back in Thailand!

    Great thai food. The som tam is legit. Drink the free pandan water... Tastes like south east Asia.

    Don't sleep on the drinking vinegars: sparkling, sweet & sour, and totally refreshing. I like honey.

    New York Magazine Cheap Eats issue says to get kuaytiaw khua kai ($11) or hoit thawt ($10.50).

    If it's your first time, get the special: 3 spicy wings with papaya salad. Perfect late night snack.

    Get there early before the line forms. Go for spicy, they aren't too hot. The water they serve has a toasty taste...it's kind of weird.

    Pad thai just like in Thailand, not too sweet like in most other Thai restaurants here!

    I have to say, the pork chop sandwich special is actually better than the famous wings.

    Pig fat on noodles? Trademark ingredient in home cooking. Don't be disturbed, it makes everything taste infinitely better.

    Pok Pok Phat Thai already tastes like the grown up answer to sickly sweet Thai noodles that we've been waiting for.

    This place definitely needs more staff. Incredibly slow service. Pad Thai is spicy but it masks all the other flavors in authentic Pad Thai. My Kuaytiaw Khua Kai was burnt.
