Pop Pop Thai Street Food

Good food, will go back. The Khao Soi is very good. Fried rice is Ok but like the curry taste. Braised pork is very taste. The place is old, small but clean. The one person service is good.

Awesome Thai Spot!! Great place for a quick bite to go or even bring your family for a delicious feast! We tried almost everything on their menu! 😅 EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS👌🏾 My favorite was #29 Khao Soi - NORTHERN STYLE RED CURRY WITH EGG NOODLES, CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS,TOPPED WITH CRISPY EGG NOODLE NEST, SERVED WITH PICLED MUSTARD GREENS, SHALLOTS, LIME AND SPICY CHILLI GINGER OIL Their #6 Papaya Salad was on point too!! We added prawns ORIGINAL THAI STYLE SHREDDED GREEN PAPAYA, DRIED SHRIMPS, PEANUTS, GREEN BEANS AND TOMATOES IN SAVORY CITRUS DRESSING

When we first got there, seemed like a small place, but bigger than we thought. The place was simple but nice. There was a very good selection. We were surprised that they had khao mun gai (grilled chicken with rice cooked in chicken broth and ginger/garlic sauce and chicken broth on the side). Very few Thai places offer this as a standard dish, Bai Tong had it available on special order. The chicken was very well done, rice had good 'chicken broth' flavor, and the sauce was really good. Overall, the first was really good dish, not as good as Nong's on Portland, but the best (only?) around the Seattle area. The phad sei iew (soy sauce, pan fried noodles) with chicken was really good. Typical condiments upon request. Will come back.

Food was delicious!! Tried their chicken rice dish and pad see ew. Very good 👍 even compared to LA food standards. Prices are quite reasonable. Spent about $25 for 2 ppl. Friendly service. No complaints ! Would definitely come back and highly recommend to try. Parking lot has lots of parking too.

sad to see it closed. was a great restaurant run by kind people. please give me your garlic chicken noodle recipe so i can try to make it at home now! lol thanks for the good food over the years. best wishes.

Their food was very delicious for me to eat. I ordered pineapple fried rice and pork gyoza and it was good.

Very authentic and fresh Thai food! This establishment is nice, cozy and very clean! I had the Yellow Curry and it was absolutely delicious. Very nice and fresh tasting. Good portion size. The only complaint, which wasn't much of an issue, is that Pop Pop Thai Street Food's spicy meter must be off. I asked for 5/5 on the spice scale and it didn't seem nearly as spicy as I expected! I am also a lover of spicy food so, who knows. Just remember, if you want spicy ask for 6/5!

We really enjoyed our time here. I got the khaosoi and some gyoza. The food was really good and the staff were really friendly. We can’t wait to come back here again and continue to try other things.

i thought the food was amazing. web ordered : Fresh rolls Yellow and Panang curry Kao Mun Gai Pad See Ew Pop Pop fried rice everything was delicious and fresh. Loved the spice on the curry. Pad see Ew was especially delicious So much good food at inexpensive prices Great service, would recommend.

Pop Pop Thai Street Food "popped up" in one of those best Thai food lists and got my attention. It is a sleepy restaurant in a strip mall type of place. The inside is basic and moderately decorated. Most folks got take-out instead of dine-in when we were there. The staff almost seemed surprise that we were staying. Nonetheless the service was just fine. The menu is more average Thai than street-food Thai. Maybe we go to many restaurants, so it's hard to find new-to-us dishes in a menu. Every dish looked "normal". It's not a bad thing, just didn't live up to the restaurant name. I will say their prices are a bit lower than the average greater Seattle area. Their entrees also include jasmine rice, which many places charge you extra. +0.5 stars for their prices. This is a fine neighborhood restaurant. Go if you live nearby. It's not worth traveling to it though (like we did). Pork Spring Rolls, $4.95 - 3 Stars Two plum and well-stuffed spring rolls. Fairly average. Tom Yum Soup, $11.95 - 3.5 Stars This is the fried tofu version. They didn't have non-fried tofu or shrimp version. It was a flavorful soup. Again, fairly average but also nothing wrong with it. Pop Pop Fried Rice with pork, $13.25 - 3.5 Stars A big plate of pork and rice, well-seasoned and flavored. Kao Soi, $15.95 - 2 Stars This dish is a signature dish for many mom & pop restaurants. This dish is not as good as others. The curry broth was more liquid-y and lacked the nose-tinkling aroma; the broth was insufficient to properly coat the chicken and the noodles. Unfortunately, I have had better elsewhere.

Before a soccer match, I was craving a simple dish like Khao Man Ghai and discovered that Pop Pop Thai seemed like a solid place to try KMG. I'm always impressed by how good this dish is based off its appearance. It's just an unassuming combo of chicken, rice, and soup but it's so delicious and the chicken is juicy and tender. The rice is good alone because it's cooked from chicken broth and completing the bite with the sauce and soup gives me LIFE! I also love that they have a spice rack that carries pickled jalapeños, spicy fish sauce, sambal, and fried chili flakes! The cucumbers served with the kmg was very bitter and wasn't sure if it was supposed to be that way or just old... 4/5 My bf ordered the garlic chicken noodle and it came out hot and very flavorful. It was a little too fishy for me but I loved that it was a pad kee mao noodle and the dishes were so colorful. 4/5 Above all, the atmosphere was simple and the lady was tacit yet attentive. This is definitely a family run business that I will continue to support.

This small strip-mall eatery has some good things going on, but it might be best to get your order to go. The dining area is small, noisy, and none too comfortable. Service is pleasant and gracious, if constantly interrupted - the phones ring nonstop, and many people come and go grabbing takeout orders. We tried their fish cake appetizer, and though the dipping sauce was good the cakes were gummy and puck-like, with more over-cooked egg flavor than fish. The two versions of their Pad Thai we sampled, one three- and one four-star, were not ketchup-y or over sweet, which is great, but the dishes were pretty under-spiced (both dishes barely made two-star heat). The sprouts were really fresh and crisp, though, which I really like. Maybe we missed the stuff they do best..? I don't know, but they are screamingly popular and busy busy busy. You can certainly do worse...but you can certainly do better. I like this place, despite some misses on the plate, and might try some non-Pad Thai offerings in the future. Recommended? Ya, sure, ya betchya, but get it to go.

I have ordered takeouts here a handful of times before. Ordered the fish cake and the pad kee mao with extra Chinese broccoli. I'd order the fish cakes again as they're pretty tasty. The pad kee mao was extra salty. When I got home, it tasted as if they poured 3-5x the amount of soy sauce or salt in there. I barely had 15% of it without feeling as if I had my week's worth of salt intake in two to three bites. I was very disappointed. I don't know what happened but when I ordered their dishes before it was pretty standard and decent. I have had their kao soi and that was decent but that was pre-pandemic. Based on the saltiness of that one dish, I am not sure I'd come back to eat here. Maybe it was an off day for the chef but the saltiness is absolutely horrendous and unacceptable to serve to any customer.

Pop pop Thai street food is located right across the street from LA fitness on aurora. Parking lot has a lot of space. I was very impressed by how much flavor there was in each dish I've tried here. The classic pad Thai, pad see ew, whatever your choice may be you will not be disappointed. If you need extra hot sauce, ask the server and they will bring you a little tray of hot sauces. My favorite dish here is the Kao Soi. It tastes like it was made with so much love and just had the right texture in every bite. The chicken that comes with dish is seasoned so well and the side of red onions, chili oil, and pickled veggies... yum. It was so filling !! Spice levels: 1-5 stars! The workers were so kind and very helpful when making decisions on dishes.

When visiting the Seattle area a few weekends ago, my husband and I were craving Thai food. We spotted Pop Pop Thai on the map near our Airbnb so we ordered ahead online before heading that way. When we ordered, the online order screen said it would be ready in 30 minutes, so we showed up in about 35 minutes just to be safe. Unfortunately, our food wasn't ready - you could tell they were busy with a lot of takeout orders; however, it took another 25 minutes for it to come out. For that reason, I have to take off 1 star. We ordered the crab rangoons, the panang curry, and the drunken noodles - we order Thai food all the time so we were super excited to dig in. However, the crab rangoons looked like they were just thrown together (they were misshapen) and were just okay, the curry was pretty watery - not super creamy like other curries I've really liked in the past, but still had good flavor - and the drunken noodles were super soggy - again, good flavor, just super weird texture. With all of that said, we sadly weren't super impressed with Pop Pop Thai but would be willing to try it again on a less busy night.

Very enjoyable experience at Pop Pop in Bitter Lake. Food was tasty, came quickly and portions were generous. We had a papaya salad (definitely for sharing) and an entree each. We took some home because it was too much to eat! The service was efficient - it wasn't busy, but our server made sure we had plenty of water and our food was to our liking. Don't expect fantastic ambiance - there are a lot of supplies piled up in a corner of the space, but it is clean and I have no complaints. It's a nice neighborhood small business. Recommended.

We came a few minutes before closing and they were kind enough to still take our takeout order. It only took 10mins for them to prepare the order. The braised pork leg was so tender. There was a broth on the side, and I liked dunking the pork in the broth for maximum juice and flavor. The greens were just steamed & pickled. Nothing to write home about, but balanced the meal. The pad thai was good - my husband enjoyed it. Would definitely come back to try more dishes next time.

Food was just ok compared to previous years. I ordered the Kao Mun Gai (KMG) and Shrimp Stir Fry Veggies (SSFV). KMG was good albeit there was barely any chicken. The clear soup that accompanied the chicken was tasty - clean, simple and pairs well with the dish. The SSFV was disappointing. I like the veggies they used but felt that the vegetables were slightly over cooked. The sauce also had a sweeter profile - which is not to my liking. The biggest disappointment was that the stir fry came with 3 or 4 shrimps and was packed in those large plastic container when the food was only halfway filled lol. Not sure what to expect as the total was $32 for both dishes. But I do feel like 3 shrimps for an entree is a robbery.

We stopped by as we saw the amazing reviews and they are not lying! We ordered crab fried rice and pad see yew to go and mannn was it delicious!! You could literally smell the aroma of both as we were driving home. The fried rice definitely had chunks of crab. The pad see yew also had a good ratio of beef to noodle, maybe 40/60 which was perfect. It's located across the street from LA Fit in a plaza with plenty of parking. Highly recommend checking out! FYI There was a sign when we visited on 2/5/22 that they are currently only doing takeout and no dine in. They are also closed on Mondays.

Pop Pop is a hidden gem; my friend and I are big fans of Thai cuisine so we had to come try this place out per the recommendation of my Yelp Elite friend! The restaurant itself is humble and modest, similar to smaller Asian restaurants. There is plenty of parking in the large lot and the interior is quaint. Our server was extremely nice, making sure to ask how our meal was going, refilling our waters multiple times without having to ask, and bringing us to to-go boxes as needed. 5/5 service. Crab Fried Rice, 4.7/5: the crab fried rice was delicious! It was light and fluffy, with moderation of not too much egg, and wasn't overly oily. Portions were plentiful too. There was a light crunch with every bite which gave it a pleasant texture in combination with the rice's fluffiness. Green onions were used sparingly so it gave a nice, subtle aroma to the dish (if you like green onions I'm sure you can ask for extra!). The only minor con I had was it was slightly salty, but squeezing the lime over the rice helped negate that and paired perfectly with the real chunks of crab meat. My compliments to whoever fried this rice, highly recommend! Thai Iced Coffee, 4.25/5: the Thai Iced Coffee was refreshing and sweet, especially for the hot Seattle day! The coffee taste wasn't very strong and I could only mainly taste the Thai (tea) flavor, which also tasted like grass jelly. Regardless, it was a refreshing drink that I'd get again! Pad Kee Mao: my friend ordered this and let me try some, but I didn't get a picture. The Pad Kee Mao was flavorful and noodle were cooked perfectly. It tasted on par with some of our favorite Thai restaurants, but the use of cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, green beans all cooked perfectly takes this dish to the next level. Verdict: 5/5, Pop Pop is a great, local Thai restaurant with a pleasant vibe and friendly staff. The food speaks for itself, each intentionally crafted with purposeful ingredients to make each bite worth savoring. If you're looking for a casual, authentic Thai restaurant, check out Pop Pop for that experience. I will definitely be coming back to try more dishes here!

I wanted to like this more than I did. Had the pineapple fried rice, inundated with curry powder. I like curry, but that's really all I could taste. Very disappointing. My friend had the pad thai, and was also very underwhelmed. Snappy service, not much ambiance. Dunno. I'd like to go back and try something else, but probably won't unless it's on the way somewhere. And definitely wouldn't go for a fried rice again. A couple marked gluten free options (maybe 4), so I appreciate that. Just underwhelmed.

Tasty thai food up in Haller Lake area! Stuff tried: Thai omelette over rice: this reminds me of my childhood when my thai cousin would make us eggs! Salty and oily and so good with mounds of rice! Pad see eww: this thai street food classic is sort of my go to noodle dish whenever I check out a thai place. I think this is my favorite version of this i have had in the states! The special sweet soy sauce I think is the magic! Khao man gai: love me some khao man gai! This version is a decent rendition of this dish for a place that doesnt specialize in it. Its a bit of a trek for me to schlep up this far north but i might not be able to resist their noodles!

Great little joint with limited seating. The place can seat approx 15 people. The service was really good. The server was really kind and they checked in with us often to make sure we were finding everything okay. The food was good as well. If you are a person who likes spicy food you need to make sure you order above 3 stars. My wife got a Pad Thai with spice level 2 it was still lacking flavor at that point we asked for more sauce. I ordered my favorite Pineapple Chicken Fried Rice. It was delicious and the portion size was on the larger side. It was flavorful and spicy just how I like it! Overall, if you are hungry and you like Thai food then this a place to go. Just giving this place 4 out 5 stars because Pad Thai was a little on the bland side. I hope you find the photos and review helpful. If so, please like and follow for more! Cheers!

Pop Pop, despite its name, is not poppin' (sorry for the attempt at a pun). Food was mediocre at best and although it satiated my Thai food craving, I was pretty disappointed despite all the great reviews. My wife and I went and got: the Pop Pop Rice and the chicken pad Thai. The pad Thai just lacked flavor overall and didn't have the sweetness that typically comes with the flavorful dish. Though they give large portions, it didn't do the dish any justice. The rice was a bit more flavorful, but it lacked pizzazz. I had to use the small lemon wedge they provided and squeeze the life out of it in an attempt to save this dish. The biggest crime though? The chicken in both dishes were atrociously dry. Not a great experience to have to chew through tough, sinewy meat. Despite the good service, the food lacked any merit and wasn't enjoyable. The best part of the experience was checking out the nearby 24 Hour Fitness while waiting for the food. 3 stars for somewhat taming my Thai food craving. But just barely.

We've been ordering from PopPop for almost a decade! Such a reliable, friendly & tasty place. I deeply appreciate that most of the stuff I order on to-go basis comes in compostable containers. Am so glad PopPop made it through the pandemic [& survived multiple break-ins :-( ]. There are so many Thai places but for our household, PopPop is a standout. I look forward to enjoying Pop Pop Thai's menu for many decades to come... Most commonly ordered: Fresh rolls Yellow or Panang curry Kao Mun Gai Pad See Ew Pop Pop fried rice

Terrible food. Inattentive service. Sticky tables. Poor lighting. Not enjoyable at all.

This place is the best Thai food I've had in Seattle this far! I got the Khao Soi and it was so delicious. The broth was like a creamy red curry, it came with 2 pieces of the most tender chicken and some noodles! My boyfriend got the Braised Pork Leg, also super tender, but the meat portions were kind of weak in my opinion. I was really impressed with this places health measures during Covid. They have screens in front of the check out counter. They even have sanitized pens and non sanitized pens. It's also take out only right now and they have designated take out tables that they place your food on top of- so contact free! They also had our order packed and ready before we even got there, and we arrived ~5 min before the estimated time. I can't wait to go back and try the rest of their menu!

I came to order Pork Spring Rolls and Crab Fried Rice to take to go during COVID-19. It was clean environment and constantly people were coming to pick up the food. Please everyone wear mask and keep social distance. Hand sanitizer is near the entrance area. I enjoyed both pork spring rolls and crab fried rice. Tasty, not salty, good volume, freshness and nice service here. Check out their menu for some delicious Thai food

I'm so sad to hear their business was broken into on Saturday! The food is amazing here. It's the best Thai food I've EVER had - in Seattle AND San Francisco. Braised pork leg with mustard greens will forever be my favorite on their menu. It's so tender it deserves a Michelin star alone. Portion sizes are fair. Khao Soi is pretty big, very filling. Pad see ew noodles portions are small. Service has always been a solid 8-9/10. Appetizers are tasty but their entrees are better so get two entrees instead haha. I hope they pull through and reopen for business tomorrow after the break in. So far, we've had nothing but typical Thai American, Pop Pop is a nice refreshing style that really accentuates the deliciousness of real Thai food.

Delicious and authentic Thai street food won't disappoint. Plus, friendly staff and reasonable prices make this spot a must try.

Been there two times and we are please with the food and the service. Very tasty and authentic. Some dishes we never seen in the States. Not your usual pad Thai, and noodles dishes.

THE BIG: Pop Pop is this tiny little restaurant tucked away in the shopping center with Asian Food Center. Great Thai food for those looking for some great southeast asian cuisine. THE BLACK AND WHITE: I was feeling a little hungry and ordered what seemed right from my eyes point of view compared to my stomach. I ordered the papaya salad (thai original) and the braised pork rice. Heads up they have three versions of papaya salad, I got the original and damn was it tasty. I'm curious about the crab meat one, gonna get that one next time! The braised pork rice came out a few minutes after the papaya salad and it did not disappoint. It had pickled veggies, a few leaves of bok choy, and the luscious fatty braised pork *drool*. I swear every bite was heaven in my mouth. I do plan to be back to try the Khao Soi! Something I miss from when I was in Chiang Mai. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Ultimately the damage done was $19.98 for the papaya salad and the braised pork rice. The food did remind me of Thailand and definitely plan to be back soon!

One of our FAVORITE spots here in North Seattle. Great staff, great timing, delicious food, and decent parking. We eat here at least once a week and get the crispy garlic chicken, yellow curry, and pad thai which I highly recommend!!! Support this awesome place and get some great food!

Certainly the best Thai food I've had in the Seattle area, and if I was situated anywhere near Shoreline I would definitely eat here everyday. The (grilled?) chicken was probably the most perfectly cooked chicken I've ever had! Paired with the sauces, it can do no wrong. As a papaya salad enthusiast, I was not disappointed. I recommend the crab one! Kasoy was super flavorful and not something I would typically order but I was very pleasantly surprised. Lots of different textures of noodles in a creamy broth.

I really love coming to this place. They always have great customer service, great food, love their longer hours in the evening. I've gone here for years, and recently I took my mom for dining in. We had fried tofu, pad see ew, and a couple other dishes. They were as usual fabulous. The server was very attentive and they've done a great job navigating Covid. I always feel solid about referring people or bring family from out of town here.

The way I stan Pop Pop! This is one of my favorite restaurants - I think it's one of THE BEST Thai restaurants in the area. The serving sizes are great, and I think it's really reasonably priced for how amazing and flavorful everything is. The crab fried rice (crazy, a crab fried that rice, maybe that's why it's so good) literally never misses. It's so fragrant and they put huge chunks of actual crab (I think) in the dish. I also always get the shrimp pad kee mao (sometimes it is better than others but regardless it is always yummy), and that is also incredible. Overall, this place is amazing and I am Pop Pop's biggest fan (also how cute is the name).

Got the Larb and Fresh Rolls Both overall fresh with good flavor. It is odd that larb comes with not bowl sized cut cabbage (or lettuce) as you can't really pick up/roll larb with smaller cabbage pieces

Solid Thai food on Aurora. My friend and I had lunch here, as we were heading up to Shoreline for a show. I don't often venture to this part of Seattle, but am glad we found Pop Pop Thai Street Food. Pop Pop Thai Street Food is located in a small business park along Aurora, so there is a parking lot outside the restaurant (yes!). The space is on the smaller side, but felt inviting. Service was great throughout our entire time here. My friend ordered the Pad Kee Mao Noodle with tofu while I ordered the Braised Pork Leg. Food didn't take long to get, and overall, I was pleased with my meal. I've never seen a Braised Pork Leg on the menu at a Thai restaurant, which is primarily why I decided to order it. I like trying different foods, so this was a good gamble. The braised pork leg was very tender and flavorful. The skin had some fat on it for extra flavor. Meat easily tore off, with just a spoon and fork, scooping up a piece with some rice and pickled mustard greens. The braise on the pork made its own sauce with the soy sauce and spices, so it was nice to have the rice soak in it for extra oomph! I really liked my meal. It was simple yet tasty. Glad I tried Pop Pop Thai Street Food and ordered a different kind of dish than what I normally get at Thai restaurants. For affordable street Thai dishes in north Seattle, make Pop Pop an option.

Got the phad Thai and egg rolls, barely ate any bc the glass noodles were weird and got violent food poisoning. Imagine this: staying in an airbnb with 16 girls 3 bathrooms and up all night projectiling noodles listening to my friend with the door open absolutely destroying the bathroom I'm so done I have to drive home 6 hours fighting the urge to run into the median never again thanks couldn't even go to the club after a beautiful afternoon of mimosas and good vibes.

I'm sad...... Because I'm going to get fat from eating from this place all the time now. So happy that I found a place in Seattle that has khao man gai that is really good AND not overpriced. I love how they season the rice. The chicken is so juicy and tender. The sauce complements the chicken perfectly. The broth that comes with it is great but could use a tad more salt and maybe add some turnips for some texture, but that's just personal preference.

One of my favorite Thai restaurants in Seattle. Their food is very close to street food in Thailand. When they served in the restaurant, the service was good. I'm not sure if they do takeout only. Overall I go there for food and not for ambience or service.

Ordered take out from here since the Covid-19 shut down and was impressed by the food! We decided to order the pad thai and garlic chicken rice. We initially placed our order on the phone and was informed that our order would be ready within 15-20 minutes. We headed over in 10 minutes to find our order ready and waiting for us. It was packed neatly in a takeout bag and they offered the option of having utensils. PAD THAI 8/10: I've tried traditional Pad Thai dishes from a variety of restaurants before, and was impressed. Since it is such a staple of traditional Thai cuisine, I decided to try Pop Thai's take on this noodle dish and was pretty impressed. The portion was adequate and the flavour was pretty spot on. I loved their incorporation of peanuts, however they did add plenty of raw bean sprouts on the side. GARLIC CHICKEN 5/10: Garlic chicken is also one of my favourite thai dishes and all I can say is that I wished it had more flavour. They packed the rice and chicken separately. The garlic chicken reminded me of food court, teriyaki chicken, and substantially lacked garlic flavour. Moreover, it was also very saucy and sweet, which was not what I expected. Overall, I'd give this place a 7/10 and will definitely be returning for some delicious thai food. Although a bit pricy, I'd definitely recommend giving Pop Thai a try!

The food here is great and nice portion sizes as well. Highly recommend for vegetarian and vegan..Fun drinks and nice clean restaurant with good service.

Stop. read rgis. chicken is over cooled and dry. they probably cook it early. Do not order from here. if you do you will find out and be disappointed. Dont buy here

This is my Thai restaurant. When I want Thai I come here. Friendly, but more importantly the food is always consistent! Always great! I eat here a lot, so short and sweet: Delish!

Finally decided to step in to this Thai restaurant, after living in shoreline for more then 3 years and going La fitness almost everyday. The restaurant is right in front of La Fitness. Walk in the door was greeted with a warming welcoming, you can sit anywhere you want. Got there around 4ish pm. There were a lot of high school students there dining. Lol back in the day when I was in High school, shit I have to go home and eat dinner. Nowadays kid are lucky! Anyway base on there menu, there are a lot of food I wants to try! Too many options!!! But at the end I got the braised pork leg and my friend got their garlic chicken 3 stars for their spiciness level and a side of spring roll. The food came out fast and it was a big portion, enough to fill up my stomach. First bite of the meat it was tender and juicy. I mixed the sauce with the rice as well, tasted like your in heaven or something. It was really good, my friend as well liked her garlic chicken but she said she should've got 2 stars haha can't handle the spice bro! The spring roll was good. Over friendly service and fast, good price on their food. Will come back in no time!!!

Still coming here and still enjoying the food. I left this out of my first review but vegetarians or vegans, they have dishes on the menu that convert to fit dietary needs! Side note: unfortunately we have had a few take out incidents where they simply lost track of orders and I had to wait longer. It doesn't happen too often, but they are blowing up on all of the delivery apps and trying to keep up on busy nights.

Update: Food has gone DOWNHILL.... My last visit here on 6/5/2021 will be my last. Either this place is under new management, or is super inconsistent..... My first visits here were a solid 7-8/10. And the last one was a 3. Assuming there's worse. The Pad See EW was missing out ingredients and clumped together, overcooked, straight FOUL. The Woonsen pad Thai with chicken was so unbelievably dry, it was hard to swallow. Chicken was extremely dry and stringy. Basically inedible. The Khao Soi - they actually managed to dry out the chicken legs included. As if they had been boiling in broth for virtually days on end. The curry broth was the consistency of extra thick buttermilk, and not enough to cover the noodles. I added water, and sadly this was an improvement to the botched dish. Total robbery. If you want guaranteed good Thai food, don't go here.

Update- I usually get the pad see ew with chicken and fried tofu. The portions are generous, reasonably priced and the staff very friendly. The spring rolls and ragoons are pretty tasty too!

Delicious Thai offerings! Fast and friendly service. Small dining area, and perfect for takeout. I've been going here for a couple of years, they never disappoint!

COVID-19 has been changing how things are and I'm glad Pop Pop has been staying open to continue serving delicious food. Their call in service was very efficient and the food was delicious. I got the braised pork which I found to be delicious and flavorful. The pork wasn't dry and the acidic sauce that accompanies helps cut the fat on the pork nicely. Adding the sauce to the rice makes this meal complete and is a perfect dish to make you smile without going into food coma. Reasonably priced for quality and size at ~$12 before tax.

A total gem. It's a little tucked away but we've been here a few times. It's not that big inside but very well-maintained and clean. The service is fast and very friendly. They have a steady flow of customers and takeout orders. We've tried plenty of their dishes but the Roasted Red Pork is a repeat order for us, be it the rice dish version or the dry noodle version - both are really good. My sister declared that Pop Pop Fried Rice is the best Thai fried rice she's ever tasted in her entire life which effectively moves the long-standing Chaiyo's spicy seafood fried rice to the runner-up spot. Thai Omelet Over Rice is a standard comfort food, it reminds me of my mom's cooking in the old days when she was in the mood for a quick and easy meal. I've ordered it with our without the minced meat, I think both are equally good. All of their dishes have that simple, home-cooked taste to them. Some of the dishes have a cross of Thai and Chinese cuisines spin to it. I remember ordering their Pad See Ew during one of our first visits and they used strong chinese greens and herbs which I personally found it alter the flavor from traditional Pad See Ew that I've had before. They have some rotating specials which usually runs a little higher in price than their regular menu but you do get a bigger portion with the special menu items. I've tried their Pop Pop Crispy Chicken and I thought it was too much on the sweet side but it was delicious nonetheless, I just wish the basil was a little stronger to offset the sweetness. Their fried tofu was just that, it was just okay. We've also ordered their mango sticky rice and Roti for dessert, and they were both good. There are some other items that we have yet to try and can't wait to come back. If you're in the area and are looking for some filling, reasonably-priced Thai food, definitely give this place a try. There's plenty of options for everyone, and we personally have never felt let down with anything we've ordered from here.

Better than most Thai food establishments but small seating and questionable service.

I wanted to like this place and was very exited when I heard about it. However, it is now just another in a growing list of restaurants that has sold out to the bland northwest palate. Having spent a fair amount of time in Thailand and going to culinary school in Chiang Mai I can honestly say that the food here is sub par and has been compromised to please the boring, bland palate of pnw "foodies". If you don't like spicy food then you don't like Thai and this ain't Thai.

Many reviews of this place note that it's the "best Thai food in Seattle." I agree, and would take it a step further and say it's the best Thai food I've ever had (unfortunately I haven't been to Thailand yet). We have ordered from this place several times and have enjoyed every single dish we ordered: the papaya salad, garlic chicken noodle, braised pork leg, khao soi, and probably other things that I can't even keep track of. There is a distinct homemade-ness to the quality of the food, in addition to the fact that it simply tastes "clean." This will be our go-to Thai food in the area!

We especially love the Panang curry and brown rice but everything we have tried has been great. People are very nice.

Can have a but of a wait but the food is great quality. Seemed like the spice was slightly lacking.
