Food was meh. But nice people and service. Very close to downtown Camden.
Good Thai food, but limited items. DO NOT BUY WINE. It’s highway robbery. We ordered a bottle of red recommended by our server. $52. We found it locally for $10. Yes … 5x the cost. Every restaurant deserves to make a profit, but that’s ridiculous.
Disappointing and pricey. Had not been in a long time. We are long time fans since the small previous space. Pad Thai was dry and pad keemo was haphazardly prepared. Greens were tough and barely cooked, not sautéed and distributed/mixed throughout the dish. Ginger beer was almost double the price of other places. We will not be back soon.
Outstanding Thai food with local ingredients.
Consistently delicious food. Nice level of spiciness and interesting specials throughout the year. Like most places, it’s hard to get out of there without spending at least $100 for two people, but it’s one of a handful of restaurants in the area where the price feels somewhat justified. My only complaint is that they replaced the Moo Tod with pork belly, which is incredibly fatty. I’m sure plenty of people find it appetizing, but I cannot stomach chewing on a slab of fat (even if it is deep fried). That said, the rice used in the multigrain fried rice dish is second to none. The noise level is quite high when the restaurant is full, so older folks or those hard of hearing may find it difficult to follow a conversation unless you raise your voice to the surrounding levels. Be sure to make reservations during peak season.
Good food. There was 1 apetizer option & 4 Main. We had the PAD PAK & PAD KEMAO. Both were excellent. The spice was great, and so were the flavors. We had the black Lychee Tea (also good). No desserts, but we were quite full anyway.
Incredibly kind staff and we were lucky to snag 4 spots at their communal table. Maybe the best Thai food I’ve ever eaten. And in Camden Maine? Whaaat? Fresh ingredients, great spice, homemade noodles. So good!

Fabulous place to try! Staff was very friendly! Even gave us a place to try out in Portland, which is where we se headed to next! As far as the food goes, it doesn’t get much better than this! We tried Pad Kemao, and the Gao Lao Nua Tun. Both were excellent!!!! We will be back for sure!

Apparently it is very busy. Don’t expect much service. The only meat they got was chicken and pork. No beef whatsoever. A bit spicy for the kind of protein offered. The food itself was VERY VERY spicy, even the curry dish. We’ve never eaten anything as spicy. Got bad stomach burn. Don’t recommend.

I dare you to find better Thai food. Honestly, one of the best meals we’ve ever had of any cuisine. The staff was attentive to our needs, and even took the time to help us with our chopsticks! ? (they will provide you with a fork if you ask)
This place is a must visit if you were in town

It is very loud and uncomfortable in this restaurant. The food was disappointing. Only the jasmine rice was very good. The papaya salad tasted strange. The pieces of chicken in the green curry were huge and still had skin with quills attached. When I asked for cutlery, I only received a spoon. This meant that the gristly, tough chicken pieces could not be chopped up. I often eat Thai in Europe. This was by far the worst Thai food ever. The portions are American-sized. But the service was extremely nice.

My brother raved about Long Grain and being a Thai food lover, I had to try it. We called right when they opened at 1130 to see if we could get a reservation for dinner that night. We are so thankful and lucky to have been able to sneak in for a birthday dinner for my mom.
This place is so cute and decorated so well. Definitely a cozy atmosphere and the staff are all super friendly. We did wait about 15 minutes to be seate, but well worth the wait! You will definitely want a reservation.
I loved the non-alcoholic original sin dragonfruit drink and will be searching for it locally when I get home. We started with the moo todd appetizer (pork) which was delicious. I had the chicken pad seaw, which was beyond 5 stars. The presentation of all the dishes was stunning. The best Thai food I've ever had and so authentic.
I can't wait to come back and try some more delicious food! Definitely check this out when you're in town!

Some of the kindest waitstaff we encountered in Camden.
The food was delicious. Just the right level of heat.
Reservations are necessary and call early if you want take out as there are a limited number of take out orders made.
