Mekhong Thai Restaurant has long been setting the standard for fine Thai dining in southern Maine. In addition to doing well with such favorites as Pad Thai and red and green curry dishes, this iconic eatery is known for mixing and matching spices, sauces, and herbs to serve up creative recipes. This is especially true with Mekhong Thai's singular chef specialties. Among the top standouts are Fillet Delight with steamed Haddock fillet accompanied by scallions, carrots, ginger, snow peas and red pepper; Chicken Chili-Pao featuring sautéed chicken with classic Thai chili paste, onion, scallions, red pepper and carrots; and Spicy Shrimp or Scallop in a Thai spicy and sour sauce with onion, basil, scallions, carrots and red pepper. For those seeking lighter fare, this restaurant's rice noodle soups satisfy with plenty of rich noodles and savory broth. Service is cordial and friendly and the interior is tastefully decorated in Thai cultural themes.
