Located in a non-descript shopping area near Route 1 in Kittery is a restaurant serving up some of the best Thai cuisine on the Southern Maine Seacoast: Tasty Thai. The star of this show is the food. Each dish is prepared with authentic, fresh ingredients. Each mouthful is full of rich, savory flavors featuring artfully blended spices and herbs. The Pad Thai, a Thai cuisine staple, features hearty noodles with a tantalizing mixture of chopped peanuts, scallions, herbs and chopped eggs. Similar attention and is evident in other menu offerings including Red Curry with chicken, bamboo shoots, mixed vegetables, Thai basil all simmered in coconut milk; and Pad Cashew Nuts with pork, cashew nuts, pineapple, mixed vegetables brought together in an appetizing spicy Thai brown sauce. Most dishes are prepared by Tasty Thai's co-owner, Nok Raynard, from homemade recipes. Even appetizers such as steamed vegetable dumplings, delicately wrapped in hand-tied dough, are evidence of Raynard's focus on cooking perfection.
