My favorite local spot for Thai takeout, everything's done well and the owners are lovely and very welcoming. Pad Thai is always my litmus test for Thai joints and theirs passed with flying colors, but don't miss out on the Spicy Basil Rice because it's their best dish hands down. Get the crispy pork belly on it, outstanding. Their Pad See Ew is solid, rice is always steamed perfectly, and they've come in clutch for take out dinners for me more times than I can count. Good people worth supporting! read more

Very nice people. Prices are fair and the food is always great. I have been here around 50 times and we are always happy.

I do declare this restaurant to have the best Pad Thai in the State of Maine! They plate up meals that bring that culinary magic to your taste buds. Feel good food, clearly made with love and fresh ingredients. Exceptional customer service, just like going to dinner at a friend's place, they are polite and welcoming to their guests. I love the decor in here makes for great Instagram photos! Although the bathroom is freezing cold in the winter. Haha. read more

Evil tofu was out of this world. Everything was cooked nicely and the tofu just soaks up the sauce. Summer rolls were very nice too. Will be back! read more

Great Thai food at a very competitive price. Very friendly staff. The menu is extensive with a large array of appetizers and entrees

I've seen the word 'Thai' used in restaurants naming such as TongueThai'd or AppaThaiZing none of which interest me, nor draw me closer nor strike the hunger chord as if to feel immediately following viewing such a name "man, I'm really glad I saw that sigh - as I'm magically transported on to the Thai food desires express train". Nope, it just doesn't have that effect on me - and, on top of that - I fail to see the humor of the hurt and manipulation inflicted upon innocent letters by discombobulating them in such a infantile manner. Also lurking in the dark cellars of bad names are the likes of Best & Super and Excellent - this strange place calls themselves Best - which ain't saying much when your the Only Thai in town - it says nothing - or am I missing something? --- The phone gets passed off to another woman who seemed friendly enough - she took my order, which was two appetizers and one entree "$33.x" I appreciate getting my total prior to disembarking. Then I drive up to what by all accounts looks like a prototype 70's manufactured home that didn't make it to the production department, which is no indictment against such dwellings, I happen to like them myself - but I did begin to wonder how this transformation went down - it's a residential type looking thing. -- As I reached for the door handle, there's a sign - and I'm all in on reading signs prior to crossing thresholds and neatly typed in Times New Roman 20 goes on a little blerb explaining their higher food costs and how it's inevitable that the end user (me and you) will see that reflection upon their bill. And I appreciate that, enough so that I said so, something to the effect of "I appreciate your honest and integrity to post such a sign" and she basically ignored me. I tipped a few bucks and removed myself as not a single soul took up table residence and there was something inside that I just didn't like, I can't put my finger on it, but it just wasn't for me - so I took my meal to go. There was a man playing violin in a parking area near by that I heard from a bit of a distance upon pulling the rig out of the off and odd angled parking area. And I went to sit in the sun, listen to his beautiful sounds and eat my Friday night, well earned dinner. Steamed pork dumplings - you'd be better off ordering the frozen 50 pack from Amazon (and I detest Bezos) and have them mailed to your PO Box. Terribly soggy and one of the first signs of the plane about to hit the side of the mountain was, get this, ALL of the little dipping sauces were only filled half way, saving Best Thai under a nickel in total and making the consumer that just dropped a third of a hundred dollars- feel extremely cheated, because I was. Scallion Pancakes - greasy and there was like 7, so that's over a dollar each for a mini overcooked under-scallioned triangles of complete overcooked disaster. I could have used them instead for wood shims, they would have have served me better in that capacity. Lol Mein instead of Pad Thai - perhaps a bad call, but, be that as it may, guess what? Another absolute disgrace - more low grade ingredients, silly cut carrots (frozen) canned baby corn (same ones I used last week trying to catch catfish off the dock - and they refused to nibble it) broccoli that, unless diced into oblivion shouldn't choke you out with it's dry sea spongey yellowish plastic textire. And the noodles totally sucked, no taste and slimy - the feeling in my mouth was that of an earthworm dare in my backyard when I was seven. The chicken was a significant step down from such world class eateries as Subway and whatever other corporate crap hole that know how to reengineer food to that shiny glimmering semi soft food that could second for piping for your new bathroom sink. read more

Best Thai Express - Yuck - Yuckier - Yuckist - Thai Near Me - Brunswick, Maine

A friend recommended this location and we were glad we tried it. The food was fresh and light. Did not leave a heavy feeling at all. We had steamed dumplings, scallion pancakes, orange chicken, house fried rice and egg rolls. The steamed dumplings were so delicate, they were simple with light flavors, sauce to dip if you want more flavor. You can share if you want, but I could have easily eaten all of these on my own. The scallion pancakes were some of the best I have had. Even after driving with them for 15 minutes after picking them up, they were still perfectly crispy and chewy. The orange chicken, didn't taste like orange, it was a light sauce vs. the thick "gooey" coating as some places have. I liked how the chicken wasn't covered in thick fried breading. The house fried rice was very good and made to order. The egg rolls, I wasn't able to try because they had shrimp, which was not indicated on the menu. A watch out for sure. My husband enjoyed them. Our friends got the pad thai and if you say more than 1 level of spicy - be warned, it's spicy. He loved it still, just had to pace himself. haha The online ordering process, super easy. More descriptors could be helpful, especially for those with mild to severe allergies. The location super easy to get to and the parking was plenty for take out. It may get hectic around 5-6:30pm. The staff is super nice and very efficient. I would recommend, it's different from typical "fast food" take out and it's supporting a nice small business. I will definitely go back when in town. read more

Best Thai Express - Panang Curry with brown rice - Thai Near Me - Brunswick, Maine

So lucky to have this gem in Brunswick. Ambiance is relaxed and welcoming! I love their SUPER fast service with a smile. I usually order their fresh spring rolls, love their sauce as well. Pad thai is GREAT! Pick your protein and enjoy. Parking can be tricky, park next door and walk over. read more

I never do reviews, but what an unfortunate food experience. I should have known from the exterior, which was unkempt looking and the entry doors were dirty/stained. The woman who greeted me and took my order was very nice. However when your food comes out in less than 5 minutes you know that it's not gonna be top notch. The spring rolls cost $8 and the two tiny vegetable only rolls barely made a usual size single roll, sauce was filled only half way...really? Then the drunken noodles were likely yesterday's leftovers, noodles gelled together and limp vegetables...bummer... read more

I'm kinda new to the Thai food, from what I can tell this food is very good. I'd recommend it, you should check it out. It's local and yummy. read more

Food: I got take out but the dining area that was inside was spacious and looked nice. My group got pan fried dumplings, crab Rangoon, and chicken pad Thai. The dumplings and crab Rangoon were the best I've eaten. The dough on the dumpling was nice and thin, and the filling was flavorful. The crab Rangoon were folded flat so that they are easy to eat and had the right balance of cream cheese to keep the filling smooth white enough crab to add flavor. Update: I ordered the crab Rangoon from here again and they were folded into the four point spike shape this time. They were still delicious but I wish they still used the flat shape. The chicken pad Thai was the one let down. It was well cooked it just lacked any flavor. I almost feel like an ingredient was left out because everything else was so flavorful. I will definitely try this place again but I might avoid the pad Thai in the future if it does not improve. Update: I have also now tried the shrimp tempura and the crispy wontons. The shrimp were cooked perfectly but they were not tempura shrimp. They were regular breaded shrimp. They tasted great but they were only about six small shrimp so even though I think this was good I would not get it again because it was not worth the ten plus dollar price. The crispy wontons were a new experience for me. They were basically a piece of chicken wrapped in a crispy wonton wrap. These were great! The chicken was cooked absolutely perfectly! Even the next day when I reheated some left overs the chicken was still tender. These are great first experience with Thai food for people who aren't adventurous eaters. read more

Best Thai Express - Thai spice coconut soup - Thai Near Me - Brunswick, Maine

I was craving Thai and my favorite place is closed on Sunday so I gave it a shot. Spent $82 on food yet somehow came away with one very light paper bag of food. Got it home and realized how lite the portions were. The orange chicken wouldn't have been enough to fill up one adult unless you are the entire container of white rice with it. That alone cost $17. Probably got like 3 oz worth of chicken, two medium sized pieces of broccoli and a few thin sliced carrots. Even the Pad Say You was very small portions and that's primarily noodles. If you want to get full here I suggest being ready to order two entrees and spending $35 a person for average quality food. read more

AMAZING Thai restaurant - such kind, welcoming, informative staff & absolutely delicious food every time. Thai iced tea is also so yummy! The inside is decorated nicely, clean & calm. A bit small when they're in their busy hours, but doesn't take away from the experience. Definitely recommend! read more

Based on the location and the way it looked from outside I went in with super low expectations,. HOWEVER, the service, the overall cleanliness of the place (including the bathroom), the food options and taste and the friendliness and attention from our server definitely earns this place a 5 star ratings. Not only did she give our kiddos special attention, she checked on us multiple times. This is definitely my must-visit place whenever I'm in Brunswick. read more

Best Thai Express - Crispy Mango Chicken - Thai Near Me - Brunswick, Maine

Nice fresh vegetables, very clean dining facility but on my first visit I chose not to choose the high spiced options and I found the food very every bland. On top of all of this, the portion size is about what I am used to. I even bought extra white rice, and they don't pack those containers either. I bought two dishes and an appetizer and hoped I had two meals. I was not that lucky. read more

I love their food. So far I have tried their orange chicken, wonton soup, crab Rangoons and scallion pancakes. All were very good and every time I get a Taro flavor bubble tea, which is more like a frozen frappe. read more

Food is wonderful. However sketchy POS system and staff doesnt really care to help fufill orders in limbo of that sketchy system. Myself, and my staff just simply will not be ordering here again. Hopefully I get my refund back on an order of $25 that was debited from my account, they said they don't have but...? They told me I would have to wait 24 hours. I need lunch today, sis read more
