I got the Shrimp Pad Thai with a side of steamed broccoli. The steamed broccoli were a little undercooked for my liking. They were almost raw, but I still ate them so they were edible. The Pad Thai was actually so good and the shrimp was really fresh and it had a grilled taste to it. The noodles were a tad sticky but I believe cooked properly (al dente), I enjoyed them. It was very filling and very fairly priced too ($30 total with tip and taxes). I had to go back and ask for cutlery (chopsticks), but it wasn’t a big deal. I would definitely go back and I recommend you try it.

This was such a wonderful find!

We came in with a group of 9 last minute and were warmly welcomed! The food and drinks were all excellent and I only wish I’d taken better pictures.

I had their cocktail no. 1 which was zingy and delicious without being too sweet, and the stir fry ground chicken with basil which truly felt like a perfect meal. Everything on the plate was done thoughtfully well: the sauce was light and flavorful, the chicken was tender, the rice was chewy and moist and the egg was fried just right while staying runny… Yum! Not oily, just delicious and wildly satisfying.

Also want to highlight the apps: shishito peppers (really enjoyed that unique seasoning) and beautiful fluffy/crispy brussels sprouts, also remarkable in flavor. Really glad we shared those down the table!

Some of my friends had the crab wontons and said they loved those, too.

We were visiting Portland from Virginia and on our walk back to Airbnb. We stumbled upon this exceptional cool looking hidden gem, and it’s absolutely worth a try! We ordered the crab wontons and spicy chicken wings—both were fantastic. We also had a few drinks, all amazing! The atmosphere is sooo cozy, making it the perfect spot for a relaxed night out. If you’re looking for a place to enjoy great food and drinks, this is it. The service was awesome, and our server was incredibly friendly and attentive. Highly recommended!

I’ve driven down Cumberland Avenue countless times and somehow never noticed Kuno. It’s an easy spot to miss — definitely in “hole in the wall” territory —but it’s one worth finding.

On a recent snowy Saturday night, we were looking for a casual, affordable sit-down dinner. The challenge? It’s Portland, so most places close by 9 pm. Kuno, open until 11 pm, was a welcome surprise. The restaurant has a cozy, neighborhood feel with plenty of free street parking nearby. When you walk in, the bar area is the first thing you see. It almost feels like the bar’s the whole restaurant, but there’s a small dining room tucked in the back. The bar itself seemed like a great spot to grab a cocktail and a bite, and I’d come back just for that.

The menu isn’t huge, but it has a solid variety. I stole a bite of my husband’s spicy chicken sandwich, and it was easily a 10/10. The bread was fluffy, the chicken thick and juicy, and the slaw on top gave it a yummy twist. My ground chicken with basil came with a crispy fried egg, but it leaned a little salty. I also assumed the egg would be sunny-side up, which was on me. I’d still order it again, but the chicken sandwich was the clear winner. We also got a few apps: the wings were juicy with a generous portion, the pork dumplings were delish, and the crab wontons, while tasty, leaned more cream cheese than crab filling.

Drinks-wise, they offered cocktails, beer, and even full bottles of wine; we ordered a $40 bottle of Italian red. Our two entrées, three apps, and wine came to about $110, which felt reasonable for the portions and quality, especially given the area. We left happy and will definitely be back when we’re in the mood for no-frills Thai food. Kuno is exactly that — homey, unpretentious, and casual, but still a place where you can order a reasonably priced bottle of wine and get solid service.

We popped in a whim and so happy we did.
The tangerine chicken was absolutely the best! I don’t usually get drinks but the tequila #3 cocktail was perfect.
Everything was clean, tasty and definitely worth 5 stars. Thank you

This place is amazing for takeout and I would love to eat inside one day as it has a really chill vibe in the front area when I pick up food. You can tell they care a lot about the food that they make, and everything tastes fresh and seasoned well.
I’ve gotten the chicken pad Thai as well as the nasi goreng which are both pretty good, the spicy chicken wings are amazing though and definitely my favorite and they aren’t overly spicy.

Top class Asian food. Cocktails that out perform their price. Open lateish- 11pm. Come in don’t just door dash. One of the best Chinese restaurants in Maine for certain.

You want these Brussel Sprouts.
Perfectly crisp flash fried in a mild sambal chili. Still delicious as left overs the next day.
I had the Green Curry entree, fresh vegetable and tofu swimming in so much flavor

Every dish I tried at this place was excellent, and more importantly, delightfully unique. I’ve eaten at scores of Thai restaurants, and I saw familiar dishes on this menu, but each plate was different from anything I’ve had before. The green curry in particular was incredible – spicy and sweet, yet not in the typical overbearing way. I don’t know if this place is authentic, but it certainly is some of the best Thai food I’ve had.
