The pho was good and my wife enjoyed what she got. Menu is small. The seating is very limited and may have to get the food to go. We arrived right at 11 and got the last seat.

Food was good. I like the fact that they have the ingredients on the table to add you own level of heat to your dish. Service was questionable. My wife question our server about the difference in tea, and ordered hot tea as did I. The server misunderstood ( the place was extremely noisy)and brought thai ice tea. When we explained the error.....server got very defensive and started lecturing my wife, who by this time, was getting very upset. I gave my wife my hot tea, and I took the thai ice tea just to calm the situation. From that point on, server never came back . However, the other server stepped up and took care of our needs.The place was small, crowded, and noisy, but we were ok with all that, as long as the service and food was good. I would go again, but I would have to go alone because my wife refuses to step back through their door.I rate it 7 out of 10. Service is key!

The Pad Thai and the krab rangoons are phenomenal. The staff working here were also very kind and the food was worth the wait !

The best Pad Thai (and other dishes as well) that I have eaten in decades!!! I was introduced to Thai food by an awesome chef, so I am picky! They are so nice and the food quality and quantity is fabulous! Definitely try this restaurant. You will not be disappointed!

Everything I've tried is amazing. Probably the best Hawaiian fried rice and crab rangoons I've ever had.

I LOVE POOKIES! The Hawaiian Fried Rice is to die for and also the crab ragoons are very good. The wait time is always timely and nice staff! The vibe is a mom and pops shop which I love. Overall, one of the best places in Burlington.

Fantastic food. I had red curry with tofu. My lunch partner had Hawaiian fried rice with shrimp. Both were phenomenal. Service impeccable. Guy with dreadlocks waited for us, anticipating all of our needs!

Well acquainted with Pookie's. Friendly restaurant with good steady service. And the food is wonderful, tasty; try all of it...

My wife and I walked in and sat down on 6:15 on a Saturday night. The waitress did not acknowledge our presence until 6:35. A table that walked in after us was helped before us. We left without food at 7:15. There was a total of 6 tables across 2 servers. Coming from 2 individuals with experience in customer service, we understand a short staff reasoning but this was unacceptable. We will not be coming back.
