I’m posting this a bit late, but I went mid-December to Keg and Kraken for my mother’s birthday dinner. Needless to say, it was the perfect location for it. It was quiet when we got in, and we were immediately met with lovely service. After deciding what we wanted for appetizers, they came out in under 10 minutes! Our meals followed rather quickly after (under 25 minutes from ordering!), and every one was a smash hit. Out of everything we ordered, the Tom Yum soup was indescribably good and by far our favorite item- I’ll probably return for how good it is alone. The atmosphere while we dined away was lovely, quiet, and warm, and the service stayed lovely. Right before we went to leave, they brought out (entirely unprompted) a free serving of their fried ice cream which was a deeelicious

★★★★★ 5.0 O. Emerson Chavez · Sep 2023

The best Thai place in Portland. The service is fantastic every time. They are incredibly friendly and welcoming. There is the natural brick and rafters which they have accented with modern black light fixtures, unique wall art, and an iconic large clock. The tables often have fresh flowers, candles, and fun centerpieces. The drinks are also garnished with flowers and are tropical and vibrant. It makes me feel as though I’m on vacation. All the food is delicious, hot and fresh. The freshest beef I may have ever eaten was the beef skewers from Keg and Kraken. I’m from Nebraska; I’ve had Omaha steak in Omaha, I have no idea how Keg and Kraken got fresher cuts than that,but the beef was amazing and tender. Both their curry and sushi are excellent choices. I’ve never had a bad meal or experien

I am so pumped that I chose Keg and Kraken on a whim for dinner - the pork dumplings and the pad Thai were absolutely top tier. I can’t wait to go back!

★★★★★ 5.0 Surachat Sakcharoenphan · Dec 2023

This is my first time for Thai food in Maine and will be a gem for sure. Incredible experience. Food (Pad Thai, Khao soi, sushi rool) was so delicious. Great taste on the entrees and beautiful presentation. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. Servers was wonderful and lovely. Don’t miss the dessert (Fried Dough and Mango sticky rice) were awesome!!!!

★★★★★ 5.0 Catherine Johnson · Aug 2023

Quite possibly the best Thai food in Portland! They do sushi as well but we'll try that next time. The waiter was wonderful and made good recommendations. We ended up ordering a load of apps and a couple entrees. I always get a pad Thai my first time at a Thai place and it was delicious.
