Poo Street Food
If you tell a Bangkok cook you like it hot and get a polite, watered-down version anyway, this is the antidote. Poo takes spice requests at face value, and the basil pork with a fried egg comes out properly fierce. Around 50 baht a plate, normal portions, fresh orange juice on the side. Pad thai and stir-fried chicken with rice both get named again and again in reviews, and the cooking happens fast enough that you're eating within minutes.
Three tables, an 80s radio station, and a cook who has been known to wave passing strangers over to join her and her friends rather than seat them separately. That's the appeal, and it's not something you can fake. It won't suit everyone. One diner flagged chicken that came out undercooked, and there's no fizzy drink range to speak of. Go for the pork and the eggs and you'll be fine.

Reviews from Google
Incredible street food gem found. We went to the place and there were only the cooker and her friends having dinner. They immediately asked us, not to eat there, but join them. At first, I was hesitant but they instantly made it super comfortable. They recommended some plates and we had pad Thai and Stir fried chicken with rice, both of them increíble. They also gave us to try a broth they just cooked which was spicy but super rich and delicious. It was our first night in Bangkok, we will repeat in the following days 100%. Special mention to Simone and “Number One” which were super friendly and made the experience unforgettable.
YAAASSS POO STREET FOOD SO GOOD!!! very sweet woman who owns it. got the basil pork with an egg and it was SPICY!! but she was the first thai person who actually believed me when i said i like spicy food. 80s hits playing on the radio—what more could you ask for?
Its a small place with only 3 tables, but with nice staff and good enough food. They only take THB or bigger banknotes of USD, so kerp that in mind. The chicken on my plate was almost not cooked enough, besides that the food was not bad. They dont have coke zero.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
Learn the Spice Scale
Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.
Follow the Crowds
The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.
Ice Is Safe
Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
