Crispy Gai is a restaurant and cocktail bar celebrating bold Thai flavors, crispy fried chicken, tropical drinks, and good times in Portland, Maine. Our famous fried chicken is just the beginning. Expect bright salads, spicy noodles, crunchy vegetables, and dishes that balance sweet, sour, salty, spicy, and savory flavors in every bite. Behind the bar, you'll find fresh takes on classic cocktails, tropical-inspired originals, a thoughtfully curated selection of natural wines, and local draft beers.

Whether you're stopping in for a quick lunch, gathering with friends over dinner, or settling in for cocktails, we believe great hospitality is about creating a place that's energetic, welcoming, and just a little bit unexpected.

No white tablecloths. No fuss. Just really good chicken, great drinks, and a place you'll want to come back to.

Come hungry. Order extra sauce. Stay for another round.
