Pattaya Kitchen 740 Broadway, South Portland, ME 04106

"I was given a gift certificate for Pattaya and I’m so glad I was! It was a bit out of my way so it’s not likely I would have ended up there without the gift certificate. But I’ll be back! For starters, we got the spring rolls and crab rangoon. The spring rolls were so fresh and delicious. The crab rangoon was phenomenal; crispy with comforting filling. For meals, my husband got red curry. It was incredibly flavorful, rich, and beautiful. I got the chicken pad thai and my daughter got the drunken noodle. Both were lovely with fresh ingredients. They have that good ice. The crunchy little ice sphere things. And free refills on sodas which I find to be a rare thing in Thai restaurants. It’s the little things that really are the cherry on top! Server was fantastic. They were very kind, welcoming, and attentive. We will absolutely be going back! Edited to add: We've already been back! This time was for takeout. Can confirm the takeout was just as delicious. So glad we've found this spot!"

"Other places don't do what Pattaya's Kitchen does. I've had Thai food all over Maine, Thai food is good for my food intolerances (dairy,gluten) I don't know how they do it, Many places cook it all together and top it with spices/seasoning without mixing it around. Not here, everything seems slow cooked and made to perfection. I'm pretty critical too. Pattaya's Kitchen continuously knocks it out of the park. Very relaxed in there, staff is super nice! Great environment! Edit: Just finished my lunch, Pad See Ew with Beef and Double Veggie. Take everything I said and multiply it by 10x. I'm totally serious. If you're weary of trying Thai food for the first time, go here. /// /// 12/6/2023 Update: Still amazing. I worked my way up from Level 3 spicy to Level 10 spicy and they all were so so good. 7, 9, 10 had different flavor experiences too, so it'll be nice to jump around. Very excited about this place! Favorite by-far. Don't know if it's just me, but I've taken family and friends here and they love it also. You gotta try if you're in Sopo!"

"The staffs were amazing. They were quick to get our food and ask if we needed anything else. I don’t write reviews when it comes to Thai food but I had to write something. We ordered the crispy duck, triple delight, pad Thai, and the drunken noodles and it tasted amazing. The pad Thai tasted better than when we went to Thailand and tried their noodles. If you are looking for authentic Thai food, this is the place to go. You must go here! I will be back again!"

"We were thrilled to find this amazing spot for dinner tonight! Eating out when you can’t have gluten is often challenging, but the menu was clearly marked with TONS of gluten free options! And I had zero reactions to any of the food. Everything was absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly! Typically, we find Asian cuisine to be overly salty, with barely any veggies except for a few mushed and gross pieces of broccoli! These dishes were loaded with plenty of fresh and perfectly cooked veggies plus tons of chicken, beef, and shrimp. The sauces were perfect and not overpowering. Portions were generous too! Cocktails were tasty! Our server was absolutely a delight! She was kind and attentive despite juggling multiple tables and take out orders! Kept checking in with us and was super sweet! And this might be a small thing to some, but the music was just loud enough to hear in the background, as it should be, rather than drowning out our conversation. So 5 stars for ambiance too! And did I mention it was also spotless? All in all, this is absolutely our new favorite South Portland restaurant and honestly, our new favorite for Asian cuisine in all of New England! Thank you, Pattaya Kitchen!!! Don’t change a thing!"

"What a wonderful gem. I ate my whole plate. The (Shrimp Love Scallop) with rice noodles instead of rice, was absolutely amazing. My wife had The Shrimp Pad Thai. We will most definitely eat here again"
