The containers they package the food in aren’t cheap like other places (those square boxes that soaks up oil and rips easily). These are actually nice sturdy ones that you can wash, reuse and are even microwavable and refridgerable (yes I made up the word)! I’m not cheap but when you can reuse things multiple times..it’s definitely a plus! I’ve heard numerous reviews about the eggplant dish and will surely give it a try next time. Ohhh and the mango and sticky rice too!!

So let’s see..the food is good, the container is good, and the price is very affordable too. If your name happens to be “Daniel,” (one of the owner’s name) you’ll get half off! I tried to lie but it said “id required” LOL. It’s okay I still got a friendly discount because on certain days you get a dollar off the already cheaply priced pad thai, and completely free if it’s your birthdayyyyy =D.

Finally the owners of Poompui are very friendly! I’m vertically challenged and with the counter being so high, I could barely see over it. But…I did manage to get a glimpse of the chef cooking. He prepares and cooks the fresh food as we order it! Another plus!! There was a cute looking hello kitty tip jar that I secretly wanted to take because it was so cute…but decided to leave a tip instead. The workers there already provide the food at a cheap price so to show my gratitude I left them a little gift. It’s not much but I know at the end of the day, they really appreciate it. =) This is getting a little long and I’m getting hungry so I might stop by there again soon. Yay poompuiiiii…=P

My recommendations are the eggplant noodle and the Thai-style yakisoba!

Also, the dudes working there are extremely friendly! ‘All the single ladies’ should check them out! *cue music and the awkward dance sequence*

My favorite dish among all of their really good food is the Eggplant dish. How do I describe it as so to not humble the quality of this exquisite dish?! You’ll have to try it to see what I mean, there has been no other restaurant or cart that serves this dish — either that, or there has never been a place that comes close to achieving their flavor…

I wanted to try their mango and sticky rice, but it was sold out today, I’m going to come back and camp for it tomorrow! From what I heard from others, and I quote “you’re missing out big time if you haven’t tried their mango sticky rice”.

A BIG plus is that their prices are cheaper than the thai restaurants around but their food definitely exceed in quality! I know this for a fact because I ordered something from a thai restaurant in Down Town that was similar to the #8, but it did not look fresh and costed a lot more. I like to note that this was an act of desparation because Poompui is not open on the weekends, and it was sadly a Saturday

The two guys who work there are also super friendly which is like a cherry of top of everything.

Mmmm…my #8…..

On the side notes, we do have discount for customers who bring their own containers and we also use compostable utensils and cups. That helps the earth a little, peace

On the positive side, the container used is washable and reusable and really good sized. I thought that was cool. The entree was also on special for $1 off at $5 instead of $6. Maybe it’d be better with the chicken and extra vegetable.

I’ve struggled a lot with the food carts on this block for whatever reason.
