Thai Cottage - Portland

Incredibly warm, welcoming and friendly servers and staff.Crab puffs that actually taste like crab, and not just cream cheese!Our order arrived hot and ready in a remarkably short amount of time.Delicious Yellow Curry and Pad Garlicky (although my Thai Hot could have been hotter! .I see that others have had less than satisfactory meals here, but from our visit, I see nothing to complain about. Either they've addressed the issues mentioned previously, or our experience was anomaly. Somehow I doubt that.A little out of the way for us, but good to know there's a place in St. Johns that makes some darn good Thai food.

The food at this restaurant is excellent! I tried the green curry, pad Thai, and Khao soy and all of them were amazing. The server was kind and helpful as well.

Unassuming hidden gem. ? Delectable curries, rice and noodle dishes. Wish I’d gotten better pics of the food but I was too busy eating. Surprised it’s not always packed.

We went here based on recommendations from friends. My husband ordered the lemongrass chicken Pad Thai. The chicken was so overcooked and dry that we had trouble chewing it. The pad Thai noodles and sauce were good. I ordered the teriyaki chicken with steamed vegetables and rice. The teriyaki chicken was dry and had a weird aftertaste, not as dry as the lemongrass chicken. When we were halfway finished, the staff came and asked us how the meal was. They offered to make us another dish, but it was already 7:45 pm and we were tired. They gave us a 10% or $3.80 discount. Our friends had ordered curry so maybe that would be a better option. We aren’t coming back though because I’ve never experienced such poor quality of food in my entire life.

I just came back to live to St. John. Thai Cottage is the closest Thai restaurant to my home. I really wanted to like this place, but after several disappointments in a row, I am done with this place. Just one more thing in case the owners read this. Look at the people working in your kitchen. Doesn't seem they care about the final product, about putting some love and pride in their cooking. I'm done wasting my money. Tons of alternatives.
