Best Thai food I've ever had. Quality hasn't changed either since i started eating here in 2020. I Highly recommend this place. Great curry and friendly staff/atmosphere.

What a wonderful hidden gem! The food was delicious, the service was amazing. Pookie is so kind, we felt like we were her guests in her home. Our first time there and it won’t be our last! For Stittsville dwellers, keep your eyes open for Pookie’s food truck on Main!!! You won’t be disappointed!

I am not one to write negative reviews, but my recent experience at Pookie Thai has compelled me to share my honest opinion. Unfortunately, this Thai restaurant in Ottawa left me and my family incredibly disappointed.We ordered a variety of dishes for a takeout dinner to celebrate my mom's belated birthday. The dishes we chose were Geang Kiaw Wen, Nua Ta Krai, Pad Si Ew, Geang Phen Ped Yang, and Pad Kee Mao. To say the food was terrible would be an understatement; it was hands down the worst Thai dining experience we've ever had in Ottawa.The curries were a major letdown, as they were (VERY) watery, and the meat was both sparse and of poor quality. It was rubbery and seemed quite old, which is not something anyone wants to encounter in a meal. To add insult to injury, all the dishes somehow managed to taste the same, yet entirely flavorless at the same time. If there was any coconut milk in any of the curries, I sure didn't taste it.Our dinner was so dreadful that we ended up throwing out the curries after only a few bites. While the noodles were at least edible, they too were subpar and far from what you'd expect from a decent Thai restaurant.It's never a pleasant experience to have a family celebration marred by such an awful dining experience. We all unanimously agreed that it was the worst Thai food we've ever had. I would strongly advise anyone with a discerning palate or a love for authentic Thai cuisine to avoid Pookie Thai at all costs. Your taste buds and your wallet will thank you.

Our neighborhood go to Thai restaurant - always delicious, consistent and friendly service. I love their pad thai, Penang, and lemongrass tea. Highly recommend a stop here for lunch or dinner. Intimate setting.

The best Thai food I’ve ever had! Food is fresh, full of flavour and high quality! Highly recommend this restaurant. It is truly a hidden gem in Ottawa that I was lucky to stumble on during a recent business trip. The owners are a couple. The wife cooks and everything is made from scratch. She was a chef in Thailand which definitely comes through from her food. I wish this was closer to home as I would be a regular!

Thank you so much to the gracious owners as well as their amazing chefs and kitchen staff for such a wonderful dinner last night. I took my mother out for an early Mother's Day dinner. The restaurant is is nicely decorated and very welcoming. Mom mentioned she had not been there in a couple of years but she had great memories of the food in previous visits. We enjoyed very much the Spring rolls (#1) and the pork filled, flavourful crispy appetizer (#6) appeared to look like little money bags and clearly a lot of work had been put into the presentation. Here you truly eat with your eyes 1st. We had a wonderful mango salad and a tasty papaya salad which were just delicious and Tom Kha soup Which had beautiful creamy coconut flavor and succulent shrimp. We enjoyed the green curry with chicken and a red curry with vegetables and another tasty dish shown in the photos here. Service was very friendly and attentive both from Pookie and from Blair. Blair thoughtfully included a container of rice with the leftovers we took home which was very kind. Even though one of the dishes we brought home was mostly broth it was delicious served over rice today. I could not just leave it there, it was that good. They could just serve it in a mug! Mom and I definitely will be going back and we look forward to it.. Thank you again for a great meal. I highly recommend this cozy restaurant which is tucked away in a small non descript mall near Carling and Woodroffe but it is worth looking for.

This is THE best Thai restaurant in Ottawa. Pookie is one of the kindest, sweetest, beautiful-est souls I've ever met. The food is absolutely incredible and she makes you feel like you're a part of her family when she's serving you. I cannot say enough good things about this place. One of those restaurant experiences that stick with you forever. I cannot wait to be back and tell everyone and anyone to make a visit to Pookie's.
