Pookies Thai Restaurant - Ottawa

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!

Tucked away from the main road, this unassuming 'hole in the wall' restaurant may seem small, but it boasts the best Thai cuisine in Ontario. Treat yourself and visit this hidden gem.

This restaurant is ideal for a cozy night out with friends. The menu offers a variety of dishes such as pad Thai, curry, and soups, as well as salads. My personal favorite is the coconut soup, especially when paired with chicken, mushrooms, and a side of rice. Be cautious when mixing different plates, as the flavors are strong and may not necessarily complement each other. The entrance from Carling can be a bit tricky, so be sure to slow down before turning right. Please note that the prices are a bit high for Thai cuisine and rice is not included with the dish orders.

I really enjoy dining at this Thai restaurant in the city, their food and sauces are amazing!

We ordered Thoong Tong and they were fried until the dry Ans had a slight taste of burn. The yellow curry was okay, but don't expect much. The green curry was just fine, you could say that the chicken was added... just last minute it had no time to really maceration. Will not order from there again.
