Jocelyn Hensley
I got the Thai General Tso’s chicken with white rice and vegetables. It mostly taste like ketchup mixed with chili paste. I ate less than half of it before I just couldn’t continue. I’m not a person that sends back food, so I tried eating it. I’d like to think that their other dishes are better and maybe I just tried the wrong one. Everything else was fine, the rice was good, service was fine and the place was very clean and pleasant. Parking was easy, despite the busy street.

Loved this place! We are not from the area but have tried other places here. This place is hands down the best! Customer service is awesome and accommodating. The portions are good. The quality of the food is fresh and delicious. This is one of the best Thai restaurants we have been to, and we’ve been to many. We loved the spicy crispy duck, crab fried rice, and seafood combination. The restaurant is clean and well-decorated. Prices are reasonable. This is the place to eat if you are in Portland, Maine.

Lunch was amazing! I had the drunken noodles. My sister had the crab pad thai. You can customize the heat of your dish which is a plus. The food was good, the service was fast and friendly. I highly recommend Thai Taste.

The food was excellent. Portions were large and they showed this new Thai eater what was best to order and how to use the sauces. Everything was delicious. I had the fresh spring rolls and Pad Thai. Grateful for leftovers!

I’m morally offended that the Som Tum salad I purchased was more than 20$ for a papaya salad the size of my hand featuring 3 shrimp. The taste of the salad and green curry were just ok. Won’t be returning.

Great food, great service, impressive presentation. A very nice atmosphere. Their menus are also exceptionally informative. We would return in a heartbeat next time we are in the vicinity of Portland/Cape Elizabeth.

Padthai and drunken noodles were sweet like dessert. Plus, hair in the food for free.

The Reviewer
The food is *great*, but the prices rose too fast for me to justify dining in or ordering takeout anymore (which I used to do 2-3 times a week). Everything on the menu has gone up $3-$4 in a span of 6 months or so. My recent order of 3 simple appetizers was $34… which used to be $20 with tax 6+ months ago. I completely understand the impact of inflation, but this dramatic rise (while other local Thai options are *much* cheaper and of similar quality) is unfortunate to see. I hope the changes aren’t forever because I would love to come back :).
