Pет Mark Popup — Review by Uncle Roger
London, United Kingdom — Thai
Uncle Roger visits Pet Mark's popup in Soho and tries their signature spicy beef and crispy egg dish. While impressed with the crispy texture and bold flavors, he notes it doesn't quite match his own restaurant Kawan by Uncle Roger, which is opening soon in London.
What was great: Crispy egg, nice and spicy flavorful beef, quality comparable to their Bangkok location
What could improve: Not quite as good as Uncle Roger's own restaurant
The Dishes
The main focus was on their signature dish featuring a perfectly cooked egg mixed with spicy beef. Uncle Roger was particularly impressed by the crispiness of the egg, commenting that this level of quality is hard to find in London. The dish delivers bold, spicy flavors with a nice balance that keeps it interesting and flavorful throughout.
The Experience
The popup is located in Soho and operates daily from 1 to 4:00 p.m., continuing through May 10. The casual popup format provides an accessible way to try their food, with the same care and plating standards used at their Bangkok location.
Value & Pricing
Specific pricing was not mentioned in the review, though the quality of execution and ingredients suggests reasonable value for the London market.
Notable Moments
Can't find anything like this in London.
There's a lighthearted competitive moment between Uncle Roger and Mark Wiens, with Uncle Roger promoting his upcoming restaurant Kawan by Uncle Roger, opening May 2nd at 12 Mealsfield Street, as the superior alternative.
The Verdict
Pet Mark's popup offers impressive Thai street food with exceptional execution, particularly the crispy egg and spicy beef combination. However, Uncle Roger positions his own upcoming Kawan restaurant as the better choice for London diners seeking authentic, high-quality Thai cuisine. The popup is worth visiting for those interested in quality Thai comfort food in the city.
