Diner Review №21

Off the beaten path, but we'll worth searching out. We had some of the better Thai that we've had in some time.

Diner Review №22

I'm sure it's fine for veg eaters but I'm not a veg eater and I had never had Thai. Well I learned my lesson. I wish there was a low veg choice. I don't eat onions, so I was a bit left out. Seemed pricy for all those veggies, anyway.

Diner Review №23

Diner Review №24

Diner Review №25

This place is amazing. Our go to Thai in Bath.

Diner Review №26

Great service, excellent food. Crab Rangoon, things of that nature

Diner Review №27

There are many differences from the Thai food I have eaten before. My husband ordered sweet chow mein. My Noodles in soup were slighy cy, but no hlli ws added 🌶, No one ordered for us, we waited for a long time, and I won't recommend more people to come and ask

Diner Review №28

I got the Taro bubble tea and the strawberry one too, so good 10/10 definitely recommend!!

Diner Review №29

Amazing food and the new waitress is the absolute nicest. Every dish I've had I can't get enough of. The crab Rangoon are great! They recently added a new bar which gives the place an amazing ambiance. Love this restaurant and would highly recommend.

Diner Review №30

Waited to then be told we could not have a table despite 6 tables being open. Really bizarre customer service.

Diner Review №31

I eat here as often as I can. good prices, terrific food, polite service, which is always balanced with available and attentive without being overbearing. Never been disappointed. Takeout, dine in, always great . Evil tofu is my favorite, I have never had a better sauce, try it if you’re not scared of spicy things.

Diner Review №32

This place always provides a delicious affordable meal that can be healthy and allergy friendly! Spicy basil fried rice (spice level 3) with tofu is my go-to with fresh roll appetizers! My husband loves their veggie lo mein or drunken noodles. I am gluten sensitive and I have never been ill after eating at this wonderful eatery!

Diner Review №33

Real deal

Diner Review №34

They used to make my favorite pad thai but it doesn’t taste good anymore so I don’t go there anymore.

Diner Review №35

My favorite Thai restaurant! Love this place. The owners and staff are awesome too.

Diner Review №36

Maybe I went on an "off" night but my brussel spout appetizer was more burnt than fried. The house rice was decent but only the rice part. The veggies in it were obnoxiously under cooked and the chicken in it was mediocre. Wish I could add pictures. Paid almost 30 dollars for those 2 dishes that couldn't have cost more than 5 dollars to produce and I don't usally mind paying higher prices for decent food.

Diner Review №37

Great Thai Iced Tea

Amazing! Stopped by on the way to a trip and it was so good! Our waitress was very nice and the food came out really fast! Will probably stop by again!

Diner Review №40

Awesome food! If it wasn't rude we would have licked our plates. Best Thai food we have had in a long time. Highly recommend!

Diner Review №41

Vegetables were fresh, chicken meat was prime, food tasted great. We’ve been in Thailand often so could tell if authentic. Service was fast and food came out hot. Keep up the excellent quality. Yellow curry great as was Basil chicken and salad.

We vacation in Bath from Boston and this is better than most places from home. Amazing food and very fresh!

Diner Review №47

Great little place to grab some good Thai food. We are gluten free and dairy free so it was nice to have this option while visiting the gorgeous town of Bath. Service was attentive and food came out ridiculously fast.

Diner Review №48

Diner Review №49

Best Thai food around! I highly recommend the Thai iced tea and crab rangoons as additions to your meal. The dine in service is prompt and friendly. The kids loved it! They also have gluten free options clearly identified on the menu.

Diner Review №50

They're delivery team is purely amazing. Within 20 minutes our food made it to our doorstep and piping hot. I am extremely thankful for the fantastic service, and would highly recommend them to anyone. The food is beyond tasty, and they go that extra mile that some places may lack. Thank you Best Thai II.

Diner Review №55

Best Spicy Fried Thai Rice!! Deliscious!!!

Diner Review №56

Love this place! Good food, good service, hood times.

Diner Review №57

Best Thai, best overall Asian, I've had in Maine so far (almost three years, all over the state).
The pad Kee mao (drunken noodles) were extra saucy, the noodles homemade and tender, the veggies crisp and perfect. Bright, bold flavor, great spice level, good quality meat.
The prices are lower than several places in the region, but the options are small (for take out, at least). It's delicious and well worth it, though.

Diner Review №58

Nice restaurant in the center of Bath, Maine. Friendly service and good food all for a reasonable price.

Diner Review №59

Awsome. Upbeat servers, fast service, cold beer, awsome food. Get the parade pad thaii. Friggin awsome. Best Thai I've ever had. Nice job!!!!

Diner Review №60

Walked in on a very busy night but was seated and served quickly. Excellent drunken noodles with a good amount of heat.

Diner Review №61

Great small eatery. Warm inviting staff. Food is excellent. Pad tahi is very tasty and hot 🔥. Rice pudding is a tasty treat. Hot tea was very delicious. I would highly recommend this establishment and give it 5 of 5 fork review . Cheers

Diner Review №62

Feb. 18, 2023 - Occasionally good Thai is preferred from Lobster rolls & fish chowdha. . . We enjoyed Best Thai II with friends on a cold winter night.

The owners have two locations, one in Damariscotta, we ate at their Bath restaurant (started 11 years ago). It’s a small place, maybe 5 tables. Seemed like a fair amount of “carry-out” business, with 1 chef working the kitchen, and 1 person handling all the front end clients & serving tables.

Our party of four was seated at the window, which I enjoy watching people and town lights sparkle at night! Menus, drinks, and food ordering was very relaxed, no rush , gave us time to “ catch up” with our friends.
In Maine it’s best to chill . . . (sip your “drink” ) most places are under-staffed.

We ordered several appetizers, as the restaurant filled up ! I liked the shrimp yum soup, with a “ kick” of spice! Over time our entrees arrived. . . Our friends loved their Basil Chicken , and Ginger Crispy Fish! Two of us ordered Mango Crispy Chicken which was delicious! Not as spicy as as I hoped, but very good!

Over all a good meal, and would rate this a positive 4.5 experience! Thai food we tried seemed a fusion of Chinese style sauce with Thai ingredients. That’s fine!

Such a friendly, homey atmosphere. The staff is wonderful and the food is delicious!

Diner Review №64

Great food. Fast table service and responsive staff.

Diner Review №65

Visiting for vacation and it was so good that we came twice in two days. Quick service and excellent food! Loved it

Diner Review №66

Genuinely really good Thai food, not just "good for Maine". Don't miss the chive cakes! Have only done take out, and it's always super fast and the orders have always been correct.

Diner Review №67

Love love love Best Thai II! Killer food that never disappoints. The Panang and Massaman Curries are always my go-to's, and the Sukho-Thai Noodle Soup is also delish when I decide to venture away from my usual choices every now and then. Their take-out provided much needed comfort food throughout the pandemic.

Thank you Best Thai for bringing such yummy, satisfying food to Bath!

Diner Review №68

Fantastic Thai food, quick service and got our food quick! Freshly cooked with the perfect amount of spice. Next time I’m in town, I will be back! Thank you!

Diner Review №69

The best Thai food in the area. The standards plus some interesting specials. Always busy and once you taste the food you'll see why.

Diner Review №70

Chicken pad Thai is amazing

Diner Review №71

After a week long trip in Maine from NYC, I was needing a break from the typical flavor profile we had enjoyed lots of already (lobster rolls and American style seafood places). So we figured we'd try Best Thai since it had good reviews. They were about to close at 2:30 until 4pm but kindly squeezed in our order to-go. We just ordered a pad see ew and chicken satay, and they were both really yummy! The chicken was so perfectly cooked, tender and juicy and so flavorful. The pad see ew was full of pork and veggies, rather than skimping on the good stuff. It really hit the spot!

Diner Review №72

We got there at about 2pm and one of the worker tell us to order it to-go since they will be closing at 2.30pm, and we did. The food was okay and portion size was small.

Diner Review №73

Food is absolutely delicious and service is fast and friendly even when they were extremely busy

Diner Review №74

This was probably the best Thai food I’ve ever had. The vegetables were all cooked to PERFECTION. I was so impressed and highly recommend. 💯 A++

Diner Review №75

Great food and service. Walked in without a reservation after work and got a tablr and eater right away, too.

Diner Review №76

Excellent place for lunch. Food was delicious, and delivered within minutes of ordering! Staff was very patient and friendly. Would recommend!

Diner Review №77

I eat here quite frequently and it's consistently great.

Diner Review №78

Favorite Thai place in the area. We’ve been doing take out for over 2 years now and we finally went for a dine in, it was very nice. It’s our favorite Thai tea. They are always fast and accommodating with special requests on the menu.

Diner Review №79

One of my favorite places to eat, I am a BIG fan of them.

Diner Review №80

I'll preface this by saying that I'm not normally a fan of Thai Food. But I love this place. Give it a shot!

Diner Review №81

DELICIOUS!! the crab rangoons made me moan and mutter obscenities. The pad Thai is bomb. Very very happy!

Diner Review №82

Never had a bad meal here! Both takeout and delivery are prompt, and prices are very reasonable.

Diner Review №83

Diner Review №84

Great food and the nicest staff and owners you could hope for.

Diner Review №85

When I lived in Maine I had Best Thai a few times a month and I have missed it everyday since I moved away. I have not found a place that does Thai food like them.

Diner Review №86

By far my favorite place for Pad Thai and Fried Rice. Employees are always friendly. It’s our go-to place for company lunches!

Diner Review №87

The orange chicken tasted like microwaved food and the fried dumplings were stale. Would be better off getting frozen food from Costco

Diner Review №88

Diner Review №89

Great selection and prices. My meal was very tasty

Diner Review №90

Diner Review №91

They are actually the best. Never been disappointed here.

Diner Review №92

Diner Review №93

Tasty meals, very quickly prepared. Limited but delicious vegan options. We felt that we were well fed.

Diner Review №94

Shockingly good Thai place in Bath, Maine of all places. Loved the Gai Ka Prao.

Diner Review №95

Pricey but food was ok, not the best but will get you your fix for thai, as all thai food is its a little on the pricey side and portions are not large . But over all its acceptable for Maine( not known for there ethnic foods). Will hit them up again.

Diner Review №96

Fantastic! Spicy duck for me and shrimp fried rice for Mt wife. Both were great and took some home too.

Diner Review №97

This is a small Thai restaurant. The service was impeccable and the food was unbelievable. I had the summer roll and the shrimp pad thai. It was some of the best Thai food I've ever had. I would not pass this place by

Diner Review №98

Great food and great services.

Diner Review №99

Diner Review №100

Great Thai in Bath, ME
The pad Thai is Riquísimo!!!!!😍😍😍😍

Diner Review №101

Oh my gosh, this was the best thai food I've ever tasted. 😍 So fresh and crisp and delicious! Customer service is so great too, absolutely recommend!

Diner Review №102

I ordered for the first time from the Bath Maine location this evening and was blown away. The Paradise Pad Thai was beautiful and hands down the best pad thai I have ever had across New England. We also ordered the kids chicken satay with white rice (the kids ate in silence - testament to their approval) and drunken noodles (also amazing). Food was delivered fresh off the stove hot and 15 minutes earlier than advertised. If you are looking for Thai in the Bath Maine area, look no further!

Diner Review №103

My husband and I went there tonight for dinner and the food and service were both great!

I work in the service industry and can appreciate and understand that as a whole we have a shortage of staff and even with this going on I feel they did exceptional!

Diner Review №104

Quantity is horrible for the price!!

Diner Review №105

Diner Review №106

Being city folks, we were surprised to find top notch Thai in the wilds of Maine. But this place has the best anywhere!

Diner Review №109

Really good Mango curry and Taro Boba tea! Super friendly staff that is quick to get your order out fast! Would recommend this place to anyone with a craving for good Thai food!

Diner Review №111

Diner Review №112

Horrible; surprised after reading other favorable reviews. Beef was salty , fish so, so, chicken was so dry, it seemed petrified and couldn't eat. Lastly, they forgot an appetizer. Never again.

Diner Review №113

I have eaten Thai food in Bangkok to Boston and this is one of the very best I have ever eaten at. What a nice surprise finding an oasis like this in Bath, Maine. If you crave Thai food, you will not be disappointed here. A+++ and a true five stars establishments.

Diner Review №114

Who would have guessed that some of the the freshest, best tasting Thai is in Bath Maine.

Diner Review №115

Diner Review №116

Super fresh and flavorful food. I would visit again.

Diner Review №117

Visiting on vacation nearby and stopped in to have dinner. Everything perfect! Service was fast and friendly. Had drunken noodles with tofu and 2 crispy pad Thai, one with chicken and one with tofu. Cooked perfectly, veges crisp and bright. Flavors amazing. Perfect portion size.

Diner Review №118

Our visit to their establishment was exceptional. The food, prices and staff were excellent, greatly appreciated!

Diner Review №119

Grab some Thai and go sit in the park on the waterfront. A great joy!

Diner Review №120

One of the nicer dinners on our vacation! It’s worth a visit.

Diner Review №121

Diner Review №122

Great experience, friendly staff and good food. The Pad Thai I had was perfect in flavor and spiciness. I enjoyed what I ordered and was grateful for the portion size for the price.I would highly reccomend them, with easy to order and use of online as well as calling ahead as needed.

Diner Review №123

Literally the BEST Thai food for miles! Try the crispy pad thai - YUM! The original Best Thai is up the road in Damariscotta in a very charming slightly hidden location.

Great food. Excellent service

Diner Review №130

Diner Review №131

It's not often that an establishment embodies its name, but Best Thai II certainly does. This ranks up there as some of the BEST Thai food I've ever had! The food is generously portioned, consistent in preparation, and tastes fresh. Friendly staff. Ordering online is quick and easy! I've never had to wait for my order when I get there.

Diner Review №132

Their fried rice with extra vegetables is amazing! Great Thai iced tea as well

Diner Review №133

Asked the driver if he would deliver to Wiscasset over the phone and he said no.

Diner Review №137

Diner Review №138

Diner Review №139

I love treating myself for lunch here every few weeks. I've mostly ordered the chicken pad tai, extra spicy, and that never disappoints. The springs rolls were great, as well. Can't wait to try more things on their menu soon!

Diner Review №140

Diner Review №141

Hands down the best Thai food in the area

Diner Review №142

Wonderful service and great food. So grateful that this is an option in Bath!!

Diner Review №143

Diner Review №144

Very very happy with our experience. Moved to Maine from Florida not too long ago, where there is plenty of everything everywhere. Up here has been a battle sometimes. This place has tasty quality hot made to order food. Delicious and great staff. We will absolutely be back. Marked as our favorite spot for this genre.

Diner Review №145

Diner Review №149

Diner Review №150

Diner Review №151

The food is delicious and all the people there are super friendly. They can accommodate large and small parties, so space isn't an issue. I definitely recommend it.

Diner Review №152

Good food good service, will come again

Diner Review №153

This place is fantastic! Fresh food cooked lightly and served quickly. Take out or dine in. Friendly service.

Diner Review №154

Tried to get in on Monday, not open. I don't get it, so many places around here are closed on Mondays. two other people tried to get in in the short time I was there. Tuesday tried to get in, closed again, only this time they are closed for an hour, 3-4 in the middle of the day.

The place must do a big takeout service because it is all geared that way but I ate in. The crab Rangoon was fantastic. Never had some that good. When I asked for a house fried rice I was asked what I wanted in it. I didn't think I heard her right but she repeated it. I said whatever they usually put in it, everything. Apparently you have to order shrimp or pork or whatever else they offer. Never ran across this before and I order house fried rice everywhere I go and it has just about everything in the HOUSE in it.

The food is really good just too complicated to get in and order stuff.

Diner Review №155

Great place to eat. I had the crispy Thai pad and it was the best ever.

Diner Review №156

Diner Review №157

The drunken noodle was great but not very spicy (I ordered it regular). The mango seafood delight was delicious; a little spicy, a little sweet, with a delicate seafood medley. Their hot Thai tea is very good and the service was friendly, very fast, and they didn't rush us.

It's a family-friendly, comfortable, and relaxed atmosphere

Great Thai food for lunch or dinner.

Diner Review №167

Their Paradise Pad Thai is the best thing I have ever tasted in my life. My favorite lunch spot in Maine!

Diner Review №168

Diner Review №169

Great dumplings 🥟that are so crispy we could eat them all day. My kids loved this place and they have high taste for Asian food. Their fried coconut ice cream was amazing.

Diner Review №170

They do such a quick job with takeout, but eating in is fabulous too as it is so quiet!

Diner Review №171

Diner Review №172

Friendly staff, excellent food. Best Thai is right!

Diner Review №173

Diner Review №174

I've eaten here so many times and the food is always fresh and always delicious and always authentic. The service is amazing and they are so kind. It is best for lunch but you can order to go at night. Also, there are lots of options for vegan and gluten-free. Thanks for making constantly great food with a smile!

Diner Review №175

I love the pad Thai!

Diner Review №176

Diner Review №177

Great food, great price, great service!

Diner Review №178

I picked up Pad Thai to go. It was very good. I will definitely get Pad Thai again there. I feel that it's a small place for a sit in dinner. We prefer to get take out and eat it at home. Staff was friendly and attentive and we didn't have to wait long for our order. Proportions where plenty big enough.

Diner Review №179

Great curry!

Diner Review №180

Diner Review №181

Really good Thai food, I love this place.

Diner Review №182

Diner Review №183

Diner Review №184

My go-to thai haven! The chicken green curry is amazing and they always bring the heat I request. Super friendly staff, be sure to tip well! They are the best!

This is the best Thai food that I have had. The staff is friendly and willing to accommodate as well.

Diner Review №194

Crispy pad thai is the best! I haven't found a better pad thai anywhere in Maine.

Diner Review №195

Wow great food

Diner Review №196

Excellent service and food

Diner Review №197

I would have given two, however, getting Thai food at all is a bonus around here and it stacks up OK against some other places. No atmosphere, food was very oily/greasy. I am toying as to whether I go again, if I do I will order something that I have had before in other Thai restaurants and will be able to compare like for like.
I can honestly say that I will not have Thai iced tea again, not bad, just not my 'cup of tea'.

Diner Review №198

Great food and service!

Diner Review №199

Diner Review №200

Fantastic food, in a simple setting. Great service. Ordered the Pork Dumplings fried and the Sesame Beef. Both were delicious. I asked for the Sesame Beef to be spiced Medium and it was perfect.
