This was a really cute restaurant that feels like a former pizza shop but has tin ceilings. I love an old building. I really enjoyed my fried rice and was impressed with the extra time they took with my vegan family members to make sure they got what they needed. A solid Thai food everyone was pleased. read more

Pure Thai Kitchen - Chicken fried rice - Thai Near Me - Lewiston, Maine

My friend and I wanted to go out for dinner and so I picked this place. It's one of those spots where if we were driving by, we probably wouldn't have stopped. But we were so glad we did. Very good customer service. And the food was outstanding. I ordered my typical pad see ew but I also ordered their steamed dumplings (Pun Sip Neung) which were very new to me. I've never had Thai dumplings. These were so good! Minced chicken, preserved radish and peanuts. Delish. I will definitely come back next time I'm in town and bring John. read more

Pure Thai Kitchen - Ginger shrimp with salad with peanut dressing - Thai Near Me - Lewiston, Maine

This was my first visit for takeout, but my son orders from here often and loves it. I chose the Tom Kha soup and the duck noodles with boy choy, onions, bean sprouts and snow peas. The soup broth was very tasty and although this soup traditionally made with lemongrass, the menu description did not list it and I did not detect it. There was a huge amount of mushrooms but they tasted like they were from a can. Lots of chicken too. The duck noodle dish was good but had too little bok choy and snow peas. The duck however was plentiful and very moist. My son loved his Pad Thai with duck and the fried pork dumplings. Online ordering through their website was quick and easy and the food was ready quickly. It is located on a corner and a bit hard to spot. On street parking. read more

Unexpected delciousness in the dirty lew. Pure Thai is a clean, fast casual counter ordering eatery. The gra prow kai is delicious!

Pure Thai Kitchen - Graprow , no fried egg, pork dumplings.. YUMM - Thai Near Me - Lewiston, Maine

Recently fell in love with their gyoza dumplings and their lo mein as well. Staff is friendly.

Really a 3.5 star for me. Average size portions, clean restaurant although I was there for takeout. My order consisted of two pad Thai with chicken and one order of crab Rangoon. Taste was good & I believe I final bill was $36 - again standard Thai meal. I really love Thai food, so how I evaluate is with a little more scrutiny. I would go back and try other dishes. read more

Tom Kha soup was 5-6/10, more watery and less flavorful than most Tom Kha soups I've gotten from various Thai restaurants outside of lewiston. Thai salad was mistakenly ordered (because read more on this at bottom of post), but appeared fresh and peanut dressing that came with it was pretty good. Fresh vegetable rolls were fresh and a large portion for the cost. Take out order was ready in a timely manner and no issues with placing order through their company website. Overall food was just ok. Would try a different Thai restaurant in/around the area if given the option next time. *OF NOTE IF TRYING TO ORDER PAPAYA SALAD* The menu listed through Yelp app has different offerings than the menu on the business's website. I went to the business website to order because sometimes the Yelp menu isn't as current. I intended to order the papaya salad, but after opening up my take out order and seeing a salad I wasn't expecting, I realized I had mistakenly ordered the "Thai salad" instead of the papaya salad. Well, then I compared menus and see why there was confusion, papaya salad is not listed on the menu from their business website. Yes, it is my fault I didn't read the fine print/description, but if they want people to order papaya salad, it would really help to have it listed on the menu on their restaurants website. read more

Best Thai in the Lewiston/Auburn area hands down. I have to get a Thai tea every time. Every interaction has been good, food is always quick for pick up and delivery. read more

This is the best restaurant in Lewiston, if you ask me. I enjoy their cooking far more than any other restaurant I have been to in several years. If you've ever had a taste of truly great food, you know how great it can be; I would go further than to just say that this restaurant consistently serves the finest thai food around (which they most certainly do) and make the claim that the food they serve is the best food around, regardless of cuisine style. read more

They stayed open late just for my order when I called asking about hours and was cutting it close to their closing time. Food is also the best, I love their soups but honestly everything is good. Consistently delicious and customer service top notch. read more

Clean eating, comfort food! This was exactly what I needed after being outside for a few hours in the drizzly, damp, cool day. I picked up dinner for my two children and myself. Two of us each got a House Soup. This soup has a clear, flavorful, mild, chicken broth with plenty of fresh vegetables, tofu, and glass noodles. We all shared the Pure Thai dumplings. (Even my picky six year old ate one, and he also took sips of my soup and ate the broccoli out of it.) Two of us shared the Larb. I got a side of white rice for the picky six year old. My eight year old got the Thai Iced Tea with Boba. We sat inside while we waited for the food. They were very busy with takeout orders. Several people were working diligently to get the orders out. We will definitely go back. read more

Located within walking distance from Bates College, Pure Thai is definitely one of my favorite Thai restaurants in Maine! Their Pad Thai and pork dumplings are a must-try. With its convenient location and mouthwatering dishes, this place is a definite win for Thai food lovers and Bates students. read more

Perfect. We loved all we tried. Old favorites like pad Thai and new tastes like house soup. The lunch special was more than enough.

Food is amazing! Bubble tea is soooo good. The staff was super friendly and it's very clean inside. Definitely coming back.

Went there last night for the first time- LOVED everything we tried. The crispy chicken was the best "crispy" chicken we've ever had. The inside is super cute, and everyone was very friendly and service was prompt. Excited to go back and try something else!! read more

Food was excellent. I got the curry chicken and potato puffs and pad se-ew with chicken. It was fresh and flavorful, If you try the curry puffs, get two orders, they're just that good! My wife got the spicy pad Thai with beef and it was great as well, just know that regular spicy is SPICY, but we figured that. Delivery was pretty quick, food was still piping hot when it got to us. 10/10 read more

Great food, very friendly service, served very quickly. Highly recommend. The best food I've had in Lewiston!

No kidding, that is the amount of ice they put into an iced tea after telling them not to put as much. I am also very concerned about their receipt, which contains no Sub-prices for my specific dish but only has the total amount of money I needed to pay. :( read more

Pad Thai is the best around. So much flavor and quality! The food is consistently delicious

We ordered pad thai and tum yum soup. The shrimp is fresh and the food tastes nice. It is a nice quick lunch for weekdays.

I have eaten at Pure Thai dozens of times over the last 6-7 years and I have never had an average meal here. Napat, the owner, does all the cooking with an assortment of excellent assistants to prepare the sides, appetizers and provide superior service. The consistency and quality of the food served has been so good for so many years that it deserves all the high ratings it has received. Pure Thai is a direct reflection of the owner who works extremely hard to deliver a great product year after year. Sure, the decor doesn't match the Four Seasons standards, but the restaurant is in Lewiston, Maine.....not NYC. If you're interested in excellent Thai food, don't miss this gem, it doesn't disappoint! P.S. Personal faves include: glass noodle, all curries, and beef or chicken basils. Duck pancakes are ridiculously good. read more

This is definately the best honey duck I have ever ordered from a thai restaurant. The value is great and they give you a lot of duck for your order. This was my favorite place to go to when I am in the area. The owner is extremely nice and welcoming. We ordered their bubble tea as well. It was another favorite. I havent really tried other dishes because I have been craving their honey duck after I had it for the first time. My coworker and i went here around 4 times. Definately recommend. read more

Pure Thai Kitchen is the best Thai restaurant in L/A, hands-down. My wife and I have been visiting Pure Thai both to dine-in and takeout for several years now and love this little place dearly. Pure Thai Kitchen's menu exhibits variety, value, and very delicious food. My personal favorite is the Pumpkin Curry with tofu. This hearty and tasty dish is complex and enjoyable in its flavor and never fails to satisfy. My wife often orders the Pineapple Fried Rice or Hawaiian Cashew Nut, both with tofu. Both of these are delicious and made with fresh ingredients, as well. We have both noted the high quality of the vegetables in Pure Thai's dishes, as well as the care observed in preparation. Pure Thai's dishes are both pleasing to eye and taste. You will always be greeted with a smile and kind word at Pure Thai Kitchen. I have noted that a particularly friendly staff member has observed the fact that I often come in after a long hard run. She too has run in the past and always takes the time to ask me how my training is going. This staff has even given my wife and I glasses water to enjoy as we wait, rehydrating us after a run. The staff at Pure Thai Kitchen cares about their guests and serves them with kindness and attentiveness. Pure Thai Kitchen is a warm and inviting restaurant with an old-school charm. You'll find the unique architecture of the exterior building intriguing, as well as the carefully retained fixtures inside. These include an older-style counter with stools for waiting, eating, or chatting with staff, as well as textured tin ceilings. We love Pure Thai Kitchen! Visit Pure Thai Kitchen and you will not be disappointed. read more

This little gem is hidden in a less traveled area of Lewiston. We stopped by dinner and the exterior appeared to a but run down and we questioned our choice. We ventured inside and were delightfully surprised by the very clean and inviting atmosphere. The tables were decorated with flowers floating in cute little bowls. Sparkling glasses and rolled silverware adorned each table. We were greeted immediately and seated. The service was wonderful, friendly and attentive. The crispy shrimp app comes with four large shrimp battered with wontons and deep fried to a delicious crispness. The pad Thai with chicken was flavorful and very spicy. Two stars is plenty hot. The peanut topping added a nice layer to already wonderful texture. The pineapple fried rice had a lovely aroma and even better combination of flavors. The spiciness of the curry, sweetness of the pineapple, the tenderness of the veggies and the soft pellets of rice, topped with toasted cashews. They also offer bubble tea in multiple flavors, as well as tasty Thai iced coffee. This is sure to be a repeat visit. read more

This Thai food was definitely way, way below par. If you've ever had really good Thai food, this is not it! Near Bates college; probably good if you're a college student. Pad Thai was absolutely flavorless, with no sauce, and a lot of oil or liquid on the bottom of the plate. I don't understand how it could have absolutely no flavor. The only thing I could taste was the crushed peanut on top of the noodles. Spring rolls fried nicely, but consisted of only soggy cabbage inside. Boba tea was the only thing that saved the meal, for $5, Thai Boba tasted good. I saw the lady that made it, grab a bag of Dominos brown sugar and dump it into my cup to sweeten it, unlike most places that use liquid sugar. I would only go back to this restaurant for the boba; at $5, it's a steal. I probably won't be back, as the food was so tasteless, I threw most of it away. Restroom in the back was not clean, with a really dirty sink, with caked on black dirt. Walking by the open kitchen area, it was super gross, I wouldn't come back because of this reason. At $16 for lunch, I'd rather have spent it at KFC or McDonald's read more
