Andy Ricker, the globetrotting chef behind Pok Pok locations in Portland, New York and Los Angeles, is adding a new, counter-service restaurant to the family.

Pok Pok Wing is expected to open as soon as next month in the distinctive Milwaukie Teriyaki building in Southeast Portland's Brooklyn neighborhood. Ricker says the all-about-wings location, a home for the empire's erstwhile Portland Airport wing cart -- and Ricker's first wing-focused brick-and-mortar since the closure of New York's Pok Pok Wing in 2012 -- will serve the cheapest Pok Pok wings in town.

"We'll be able to do a lot of delivery and to-go from here," Ricker says. "The idea is the price point for the wings will be lower here because we don't have a big infrastructure to maintain like we do at Pok Pok."

Look for those famous fish sauce wings, fried chicken, papaya salad, buns and fried tofu tossed in Pok Pok's wing sauce, a vegetarian version that's been a staff meal favorite for nearly a decade.

Pok Pok Wing is expected to open for lunch and dinner this October at 3120 S.E. Milwaukie Ave.
