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 treat.

All in all, the servings were generous (we had leftovers for two days), the pricing was VERY cheap for the oldport area, and was just a lovely time.
Keg and Kraken is a hole-in-the-wall hidden gem, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone craving spectacular Thai food without wanting to empty their wallet.

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 experience there.

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!

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!!!!

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.

The restaurant name intrigued me – I mean, how could it not? I placed my order due to the positive reviews on Google Maps of its vegan options. My order consisted of the Massaman Curry with soy vegan nuggets (with Thai basil and bean sprouts at medium spice level), Avocado Kyūri and Tom Kha Tom Kha Soup (with mixed vegetables). While I wish there were more bean sprouts considering the extra charge, everything has been delicious!

I was particularly appreciative when I called in, mentioned that I could not find parking but will try to figure out, and then they called back offering to bring my order out to me a little ways down the block where I was illegally parked. Initially, the woman said that their staff was all very busy and could not come out so this tiny gesture made a huge impact.

Thank you to the Keg & Kraken team for a delicious dinner after a 4+ hour drive to Portland! I will be coming back for sure!

Had a stellar experience on New Year’s Eve. The service and atmosphere were both wonderful, but the food and drink were the stars of the show! Beautiful and flavorful dishes and well balanced cocktails.

We saw some photos in social media and thought we should stop in. I was super impressed! The staff were SO nice that I wanted to stay and chat all night. We had a warm sake which was yummy, and edamame and veggie gyoza to start. Both of the apps were delicious and only lightly salted which was great for my partner who has cardiovascular disease, so sodium is important. He had the spicy pad Thai which I tasted – it was really good, with well rounded, but punchy flavors. I had a few sushi rolls, mostly vegetarian and one soft shell crab. All were a great size and tasted delicious. I have to say that I look for sushi/sashimi spots with lots of vegetarian options because I really don’t love meat, Keg and Kraken had lots of veggie special rolls which was amazing!

We finished up with the ice creams and the sticky rice – the sticky rice was my favorite, and the green tea ice cream. My photography partner loved the coconut ice cream! We took a few bubble teas home for our daughter and they were well packaged for travel and tasted amazing.

We will definitely be back!

As the last customer of 2025… the owner popped out to personally hand me my take-out order and she tossed in a Thai tea that absolutely slapped. Came home, chowed, watched the ball drop and welcomed 2026. To many more dinners at k&k
