Probably the best Thai/Laotian food in Greater Portland, and worth every penny! Wonderful specials, great cocktails, flavorful and delicious food! Highly recommend the Pad Kra Pow, but they have all sorts of delicious options, and it's often tough to pick, as all are incredible. The service is also fantastic, cannot recommend this place enough! It's easy to get in during the offseason, a bit busy in the summer, but don't let that deter you!

Stopped here on our way through Portland, and already can’t wait to be back. Some of the best Thai food we’ve ever had, just so delicious. You can tell it’s cooked with love, a restaurant with a ton of heart ♥️

Awesome Thai food in a beautiful new space with a cool bar and beer on draft! Would be a great place to go for a drink and not have to worry about crowds or any kind of a scene.

We came with our toddler for an early dinner and we’re so glad we did! The staff were so kind to our kiddo and the food was amazing. Highly recommend the blossom dumplings and Nam Khao Tod.

Prior to arriving to this restaurant, a couple recommended this place while we were on the Mail Run boat tour around the islands, off the coast of Portland, Maine on Thanksgiving day. This and a few other restaurants were only opened.
From the moment we stepped through the door, the owner and staff welcomed us with the kind of warmth that instantly makes you feel like a regular—even if it’s your first visit.
The star of the meal was the Khao Soi, a bowl of curry chicken noodles that was nothing short of extraordinary. The broth was velvety and aromatic, layered with spices that built into a beautiful, balanced heat. The noodles were perfectly cooked, and every bite had that irresistible mix of richness, tang, and gentle spice that makes you slow down just to savor it a little longer.
Before diving into the Khao Soi, we shared the Blossom dumpling—a delicate, almost sculptural bite that managed to be both visually stunning and deeply flavorful. It was tender, savory, and just complex enough to make you appreciate the care behind it. The grilled okra was another quiet triumph: lightly charred, simply seasoned, and a perfect counterpoint to the richness of the curry.
But what truly elevates this place beyond great food is the people. The owner checked in with a smile that felt genuine, eager to share the story behind the dishes, and the staff carried that same enthusiasm. There’s an unmistakable sense of pride and hospitality here—an atmosphere that makes the meal feel personal.
If you find yourself in Portland and want a dining experience that’s comforting, surprising, and wonderfully human, this Thai restaurant is an absolute must. We left full, happy, and already plotting our return.

10/10 not only was the food amazing but the owner came out and talked to us for about 30min. She asked us if we enjoyed the food and we talked about my future trip to Thailand. Her and her daughter run the restaurant and have done an amazing job for it to be a newer restaurant. Highly recommended. Tiktok video on my page soon @ chuchiibbyy
On a cold day looking for soup that was gluten free I hit upon this place. You can add lobster to any dish. I almost did to add a local flair and protein although market price was 22$. I am glad I didn't for this dish but would love to come back to add lobster to my pad thai or fried rice. With the mint in the the spring rolls beforehand I came away so completely satisfied

Just moved to Maine, came with party of 7. They were very accommodating. Although the tables are a bit small for my liking we made it work and had a great time, the waitress was able to answer any questions we had and made sure we wanted for nothing.
I had lunch after the art museum. I shared the scallion cakes and veggie and edamame dumplings with a friend. I had the Choo Chee salmon, a creamy coconut curry sauce with salmon and asparagus. The food was very good. The service was quick and pleasant.
