Although Ike’s Vietnamese Fish Sauce Wings isn’t a Thai dish, it is by far the most popular item at Pok Pok. It’s spicy, sweet in a caramelized way, savory with the fish sauce, and has a crunchy texture.

Ed.’s note: While Vietnamese/Thai food is not necessarily regional in any way to Portland, we consider Pok Pok a newer breed of institution in Portland and therefore worthy of inclusion here.
