    Not sure how they could improve, actually. This place will certainly gain a loyal group of regular customers over time.
    We will definitely return.

  • We love Pookie's! We don't eat here often because it's a bit expensive for our budget, but it is a treat every time. The owners are SO friendly and know us by order (we get the same thing every time), and the food is absolutely delicious. This place has the best spring rolls I've ever ordered in a restaurant.

    The place is lovely inside; the decorations and music are great, and we absolutely love coming here. I've brought friends and they raved about it, too.

  • Order: spring rolls, pad thai, duck curry

  • An overall amazing experience. Pookie was so friendly & the food was great. The decor was new & clean. It was the kind of restaurant you would want to try different foods in - because you trust that they know how to cook anything! I imagine I will become a regular there!

  • Order: red curry, chicken pad thai

  • My husband and I discovered this little west-end treasure shortly after it opened it has since become one of our favourite places to dine. The food is absolutely delicious, the ambiance and the decor offer a warm, comfortable dining experience.
    The owner, Pookie, for whom the restaurant is named, makes every customer feel welcome and appreciated with her graceful charm and delightful personality.
    We have little doubt this restaurant will experience every success in the future ...but for selfish reasons we hope it doesn’t become too busy!

    Faithful customers,
    Bernie & John

  • Order: Yellow Curry, Red Curry, Stir-Fry

  • I didn't know this place existed (hard to see off Carling!) until I saw a flyer and had a friend refer me. The food was absolutely amazing. It was very fresh, very flavourful, and very well presented. The decor is modern, clean and Thai.

    The service is what you hope of every small restaurant, and then some. "Pookie" was so friendly, very attentive and made our experience incredible.

    I would not hesitate to send this restaurant to anyone. It was the BEST THAI EXPERIENCE I've ever had, and I will be back no questions asked.

    THANKS POOKIE!

  • Order: Green Curry, Spring Rolls, Cashew Chicken, Sweet and Sour Beef, Pad Thai

  • This restaurant has it all -- delicious food, pleasant and pleasing service, and a lovely decor that makes you feel like you're in Thailand.

    The spring rolls and sauce were some of the best I've ever had, and the pad ki mow was bursting with flavours.

  • Order: Vegetable spring rolls, fish cakes, pad ki mow, pad thai, deep-fried fish (#39)

  • What a wonderful addition! Pookie's is some of the BEST Thai food that I have ever eaten.
    I have lots of food allergies and the owner / waitress was VERY careful to make sure that each dish would be safe for me to eat.
    My new favorite restaurant!
