Out & About: Tasty Thai

If you are looking for something to warm you up from the inside out, head out to Tasty Thai just off the Kittery Traffic Circle. Owners Dan and Nok Raynard have created a cozy ambiance with rosy walls and gold accents where it is comfortable to linger over lunch or dinner. They have a full menu that includes soups, salads, rice dishes, noodles dishes, special entrees, luncheon specials, and all the curries. Most of the dishes offer your choice of meats, seafood, vegetables, or tofu so it’s a great place for vegetarians.

I love Thai food. I’ve had it three time in the last week and am a regular visitor to all the Thai restaurants in the seacoast. What stands out for me at Tasty Thai is their Basil Pad Thai. They’ve taken traditional pad thai and turned it up a notch with an extra level of hot and the addition of Thai basil with its subtle licorice flavor. The Basil Pad Thai alone is worth the trip, but everything else I’ve tried has been fresh and flavorful.

They are open every day except Tuesday from 11:30 until 9 pm and they offer take out. Their phone number is 439-9988.

    It is so true. I love this place, the food, atmosphere, and people. My wife will probably have lunch there today!

    I know it’s a small town (and this is only meant as a compliment), but I’m an out-of-towner, and I think it would be helpful to visitors to include the addresses of the businesses you feature.

    This is the best Thai food restaurant in the area. I have been to Thailand and absolutely love Thai food. This is the most authentic I have had in a very long time. It is very nicely decorated and everyone is very friendly!! We will be faithful customers.

    We have been to Tasty Thai about half a dozen times. The food is excellent. We have tried many dishes on the menu, and have never been disappointed. The service and atmosphere is great, and it is always warm and cozy inside! It is a must go!!
