Experiences

  • Authentic Thai cuisine in Rochester!

    Multiple dates available
    Chef Annie’s love for cooking started when she moved to the United States in 2012. She thinks about food all day; what it looks like, what it tastes like, and most of all, how it makes people feel connected and content. For Annie, cooking is a passion, a legacy, and a bridge. Cooking is a way for her to feel joy honoring her mother and her first home by serving the people in her new community. That is why Annie and her husband Ryan, a Rochester native, created ThaiPop. It is a labor of love to bring two homes and two worlds together in one place, to honor all who came before by serving all who gather today and tomorrow.

    We love the house curry with chicken. Tried the beef jerky appetizer that came with a nicely spicy sauce, and it was great. Always so much food that we can have another meal at home.

    I can see why Thai Pop is so popular after enjoying a wonderful dinner meal there last night. Food was fantastic and portions were generous - great value. Our sever was energetic and attentive. Will make this now a regular spot during our annual trips to Mayo Clinic.

    The Brussels, Massaman Curry with Brisket, Coconut Brisket, and Annie’s Toast were all fantastic. Jam packed with impressive flavors. I have been to Thai Pop several times, and you just cannot go wrong with anything you order. The Noodles and Brussels is also an awesome choice. The ambience and service is also top notch. Going to Thai Pop is an experience that you will not regret.

    Most people who go to a Thai restaurant understand that the food is going to be very spicy. I wish there would've been more than a couple of entrees on the menu that allowed you to adjust the spice level. I ordered the house Thai curry and was told it's very spicy. And then the server offered to bring me aside of coconut milk to pour in and help cut the spice. I thought that was very kind. My only complaint is that the tiny dish of coconut milk showed up on the bill as a five dollar side. I just didn't like the surprise charge. Also, I am Asian and can handle quite a bit of spice and I found the house curry to be extremely spicy even with the coconut milk. My husband and daughter's entrees were average, nothing special for the price. Finally, our table for 3 was a hightop with one chair facing the brick wall and back to the restaurant, which was a disappointing, you literally feel like you're talking into a brick wall the entire time.
