Went to an exhibit at Bates College and stopped in at Pure Thai for lunch. We were pleasantly surprised. The food was absolutely delicious (I had the red curry beef and my companion had basil duck). The food came promptly and the staff was attentive and enthusiastic in their greeting and sendoff. I live a few towns away, but I'd make the trip back to Lewiston to eat there again.

The food was excellent. The owner was very accommodating, so it's very vegetarian friendly.

I have loved this place since I moved in a couple streets away from it & decided to try it since it had just opened & was the closest place to my apartment. It was the best decision I've ever made! The food is OUT OF THIS WORLD. They have used fresh ingredients from the beginning, and it shows. Have never had anything that wasn't delicious, and I've tried most of the menu. Also, all of the staff are so nice. Truly an amazing place that I pray sticks around forever

Absolutely love and recommend Pure Thai if you're ever in the area! I frequently order take out here as I love the tea and curry puffs! Chicken pad Thai is always delicious, and the spring rolls are fantastic! 10/10 give it a try! Edit to add!: they now have strawberry popping bubbles and I still absolutely love this place!

Pretty awesome Thai food, I've had proper Thai curry up and down the state of Maine and this place is definitely in the top 3, better than most of the Thai food you'd get in Portland and that's saying something.

Great food and great service ! I’ve came to this place a few times now, some of the best Thai food in Lewiston. The locale is on corner and can be easy to miss if you don’t know what you’re looking for. There is no dedicated parking area, so it can be difficult to find some during busy times of the day. You can come in and order at the counter. If you’re dining in they’ll bring the food to your table after you’ve ordered. The food can take some time to be prepared even if they are not very busy, but it’s always worth it. Most recently I had the Theee Flavor Fish. Highly recommend, it’s delicious. I’ve also had the Fried rice with Crispy chicken. They have a good selection of bubble tea as well. Nice atmosphere in the restaurant itself, but nothing to ride home about. The staff is very friendly and cordial.

Delicious food and friendly staff. Took my friends teenage daughter, and she proclaimed '10 out of 10 stars! Favorite Thai food ever!' Make sure you get the Mango sticky rice and the curry puffs
