Pookie's — Restaurant in Thousand Oaks

Save your time and money. Here’s what we experienced. #1) Nobody welcomed us after 5-minutes at entry #2) Screaming kids running up and down the outside seating area #3) Waiter was clueless and unaware of the situation and menu #5) Brought the wrong food three times #6) Took a plate of food (we hadn’t touched yet, besides mixing it with a fork and nearly taking a bite) when the waiter literally switched plates with adjacent table. #5) No drink refills or offers to purchase 2nd round. #6) Every table (3 tables) around us (with 3-5 people at each table) received food before us despite having been seated 15-minutes after the two of us. #7) POOR QUALITY: IF KRAFT MAC&CHEESE OFFERED PAD THAI THIS WOULD BE IT! Like I said save your time and money. Go to another Thai restaurant or eat Kraft Mac & Cheese (it’ll be better I promise). I don’t often write reviews, but I had to on this. You’ve...

Thai food lover who has tried every Thai food restaurant from here to Thai town and I still come back to the Conejo Valley as having some of the best Thai food anywhere. And Pookie's is just about the best in this area.

It's somewhat hidden in the Watercourt on Hampshire Rd. so you're not going to just stumble across it. That said, it has one of the best locales for a restaurant I've ever seen. You can sit outside next to the ponds with bubbling fountains.

Most of your traditional Thai dishes are here but served up just a little more creatively & tastily than the usual fare in the endless parade of strip mall Thai joints that dot the L.A. landscape.

The curry here is some of the best I've ever tasted. None of that milky, watery tasteless stuff you have the misfortune of being served in a lot of local Thai restaurants. Try the Jade Curry and do not miss the...

Maybe we ordered the wrong thing. The mixed appetizer with satay, shrimp roll and egg rolls was ok (I thought the satay tasted burned), but the "heavenly combo" fried rice was awful. The rice was still white ( completely white), the onions were sharp and the remaining vegetables were from a bag of frozen mixed vegetables! Tiny cubes of carrots. No fresh carrots?? We could barely find any chicken. Why cheap out on the chicken? We found a bug in our beer glass. I'm sure it was there before we wasted a bunch of beer. It wasn't a flying insect. We told the server and he brought another glass and just left it without a word. I told them it was my husband's birthday when we arrived. I guess they do nothing for birthdays. We won't go again. I expect fresh vegetables at a Thai restaurant. Unfortunately, I didn't get my phone out...
