    Fries and pok pok wings combo with yanch sauce
    Amy H.

    The pokpok wings 4.5/5 If you like buffalo wings, this is a great rendition of it but slightly more ceeamy (pleasant) The yanch sauce was a clean mayo tasting sauce and it complemented the pok pok wings finely. The fries 4/5 Adequately seasoned and nice fluffy potato texture. Mango lassi 2/5 Floral. If you like flower or tropical punch after taste this is for you. Its creamy but floral which isn't for me. Unique taste. Parking isnt too bad. Just park near Gen in the parking garage and walk over (2min). I may come back if im in the area.

    CHICKEN STRIPS COMBO, MANGO LASSI 12oz
    Jennifer N.

    Went for lunch and opted to split the 6 piece chicken strip combo. You order at a self-check kiosk and service is quick and friendly. The restaurant is small, but with plentiful seating, connected to another similar restaurant doing bowls. It was fairly empty on a Sunday afternoon. The portion is huge! For about $21, it fed two people with plenty of left overs. The chicken is nice and crispy, with good seasoning. I wasn't super impressed by the sauces but I think it was more of a personal preference (not a big fan of ginger or cilantro). The fries were nice and crispy. The mango lassi was smooth and sweet. Overall, pretty good! Probably not something I'd go out of my way for but definitely worth the try.

    Kathi roll combo and smash burger
    Anokhy D.

    We came in for a weeknight dinner and got the double Kathi roll combo and smash burger. Both orders came out within a reasonable time given the other patrons in the restaurant, and tasted great. I appreciated that the fries were not limp, but I did expect them to have some kind of spice seasoning on them. The spice dust on the chicken in the rolls was a spice blend without much heat, even though the spice dust is advertised as adding heat. Overall a solid meal but I think I expected more from a Chef Jassi creation after having been to and loving Amrina and Kitchen Rumors.

    Chicken Wrap

    I loved their wraps (honestly I didn't even eat most of the fries because the wraps were soo good). I recommend trying this place the next time you're in town.

    Saw this new to me spot next to Jinya and Piola in the Midtown / lower Downtown area. Parking is available in the adjacent parking garage. The interior is fairly odd; it's a self service, self order, fast food setup with an adjacent restaurant that serves food in a Chipotle style line. The food here is a fusion type; I got a mango lassi (overly sweet, hopefully from the mango and not added sugar), chicken sandwich, fries, loaded fries, and some chicken wings. Overall, the food was fairly mediocre; the wings were bland, the chicken in the sandwich wasn't breaded and the bread was cold and soggy. The kimchi slaw in the sandwich was also very bland and not very flavorful. The fries were seasoned well and tasty. Compared to chicken sandwich spots, this was a step below expectations in terms of both flavor and bang for the buck.

    Had an opportunity to try out that World Cup Combo that they got going on over here for a limited time. Great for your money and honestly great for a late lunch/early dinner or just skip lunch and go straight to dinner for this. Definitely worth going back to again!!!

    CHICKEN SANDWICH COMBO with BALLE BALLE FRIES 8oz, DESI KIMCHI 4oz, NAUGHTY SAUCE 2oz, DELICIOUS SAUCE 2oz, and MANGO LASSI 12oz.

    Stumbled upon this midtown gem which caught my attention because of the happy hour poster outside advertising a $10 combo from 3-5p. Upon entry I was greeted with a unique aroma of spices and a bright and clean dining area. At the back of the restaurant on the self-service kiosk, I ordered two dipped and dusted chicken sandwich combos with fries for one order and the desi kimchi for the other along with the mango lassi drinks. The chicken on the sandwich was juicy, flavorful and paired well with the crunch of the lettuce and tanginess of the kimchi; not to mention the soft potato bun. The fries were seasoned well and tasted good with both the delicious and naughty sauces. The mango lassi was also good but interesting with a thick consistency and a pretty sweet flavor. Additionally the staff was friendly and prepared my order accurately. Overall, I had a great experience here, receiving fresh, tasty food at a very reasonable price. Would definitely recommend checking them out!

    I have been wanting to try this place for so long. Today I finally did and it did NOT disappoint! Pok Pok Po had excellent customer service. The woman at the front was so bubbli and kind, let me try anything I wanted and then some, and was honest with her reviews. I loved the design of the packaging; really adds to the quick food feel. I got the chicken bites with spice dust, Pok Pok sauce and kimchi. Wow. All I can say is wow. The chicken alone was so flavorful that I didn't even need the sauce; although the sauce was amazing! The kimchi was outstanding and fresh. This all came out to about $10, great price!! I can't wait to bring other people here during their happy hour!!

    I was visiting my friend in Houston and I saw this spot pop up on my instagram and I told her I wanted to try it! We ordered a bunch of different things and family styled everything. We got the chicken sandwich, fries, the chicken bowl and the mango lassi. I was expecting the sandwich to be a little spicer but it honestly wasn't spicy at all. I feel like the chicken in the sandwich and the bowl could have used a little more flavor and spice. I liked the masala fries and the lassi! The mango lassi was a little too thick for my taste but it was still pretty good! The food isn't bad but I think they should add a little more flavor to the chicken!

    Pok Pok Po is one the most unique fast casual chicken spots in Houston! They bring an Indian twist to the usual hot chicken spots that have popped up all over Houston. Would I come back? For sure whenever I'm craving some flavorful chicken! Service was honestly pretty quick considering they make all the food to order. This is definitely the best for quality since you're guaranteed hot, fresh, juicy chicken. Ambiance wise, the place is pretty nice. Lots of natural lighting, spacious, plenty of tables/bench seats, and it's connected to their other fast casual concept, Bol, which is like the Indian version of Chipotle. For food, we tried their loaded chic fries w/ naughty sauce and a mango lassi, and their loaded rice n shine topped w/ delicious sauce and yanch sauce on the side. The mango lassi was very unique in that it has a spice kick of cardamon/star anise to it. Don't sleep on the balle balle fries here, some of the tastiest fries in the city, especially when you dip them in all of their different sauces! My only small complaint here is that you can't adjust the spice level of your chicken. I personally like REALLY spicy chicken so I would have upped the spice level if possible! I also would have liked another chicken tender to be served per order, I thought 2 on top of the rice wasn't enough meat for how much rice you get. Otherwise, I'll be back again for sure! Enjoy!

    chicken tenders combo
    Vian N.

    been wanting to try this place!! chicken is sooo tender and well spiced, fries were so christy and well seasoned (borderline too salty). I hate that i have to pay so much for any sauce not even extra. The loaded fries has interesting curly(?) fries at the bottom that i wasn't a fan of. huge pieces of chicken for the tenders and enjoyable overall

    Went on a Friday night and ordered the chicken sandwich with naughty sauce, the 4 pcs chicken strips meal (with balle balle fries and delicious sauce), and the loaded rice and shine to share. I also got a mango lassi to enjoy. The chicken sandwich was juicy and tender and I enjoyed the Indian blend of spices in the batter of the chicken. The desi kimchi helps to cut through the fattiness of the chicken and the sauce on the sandwich is very flavorful and curry-esk. Overall, all the elements together with the soft potato bun make a solid chicken sandwich with an Indian flair. The naughty sauce on the side reminded me of a chutney and added a nice brightness to the creamy/fattiness of the sandwich. (6.5/10) The chicken strips were coated in the same batter as the chicken patty in the sandwich and were just as tender. The seasoning on the balle balle fries was solid and very comparable to other chicken and fries I've had. (5/10) The loaded rice and shine was essentially the chicken tenders and the desi kimchi on top of a bed of rice with delicious sauce on top ,so you really can't go wrong with it. (6/10) The mango lassi was my favorite part of the meal because of the strong cardamom flavor. It made it unique to other mango lassi I've tried and I found myself savoring it throughout the meal. (7/10) Overall, this spot is truly a fast casual place with an slight Indian twist. If you are craving chicken and fries with more unique flavors and sauces I would come here. The parking is really good because it is in the mix, the parking garage has plenty of space and is free. The service was also very friendly. Would definitely come back for the mango lassi.

    #1 CHICKEN SANDWICH
    Ishika K.

    The food at Pok Pok Po was incredible. I was slightly hesitant as I wasn't sure how the flavors would mix and how an indian style chicken sandwich would taste, but they convinced me! The food was quick to be ready, I like the seating options and the ability to play board games if you want! It was an overall good experience! The chicken sandwich was a 10/10 in my opinion and the mango lassi was pretty good too, id give it an 8.5/10! I can't wait to go back and try all that they have to offer!!

A big open lot with some food trucks and 2 random benches. Makes for a good late night dining spot after a night out. Standard hot chicken lineup with the sandwich, strips, combo, fries. I liked the halal options. The wrap with turnips did entice me a bit but went for the Sandwich + a side order of pecked fries. The service was efficient, got it out in about 10minutes. I liked the curry seasoning to the fries, the chicken was battered well and had a solid crunch/flavor. The sandwich itself is also a straightforward classic = standard brioche bun + pickles for garnish and a decent sized breast. I would say the "yummy sauce" is just a bit overwhelming for me, it's just everywhere when I unwrapped the sandwich.. It was a bit too creamy for my taste. Overall I liked the chicken and the menu for being halal, it was cooked well and the adjustable spice level is nice. But the Yummy sauce is sort of a miss for me. Not sure what's in it but too rich, 3.5/5, didn't quite stand out for me.

The chicken itself was beautifully fried in peanut oil, and truly one of the best, juiciest, fried chicken pieces I have ever had. This place is an example of simplicity at its finest.
