Mai Thai Restaurant

They claimed on the front page of their menu to be the first Thai cuisine in Augusta and they didn't disappoint. The food tasted at a level I have had Thai food in Asia before. So that's a good thing. The service was ok. We went on a Friday evening right after they opened at 1700. They were not busy for dine-in, but there were a number of take-out orders during the time we were there. That's the reason why it took them a solid 30mn for our food to come out. Other than that, it's a solid place all around. I will have to check out other Thai places in the area to compare, whether the first Thai cuisine in Augusta could also be the best Thai cuisine in Augusta.

The Pad Thai dish at this restaurant is fantastic. The dish was a delightful blend of flavors with a lot of heat, as I requested. If you're a fan of extra spicy food, don’t hesitate to ask for the extra spicy version not listed on the menu. I got the most spicy version available of the lunch pad Thai. The lunch special is particularly impressive not just for its taste but also for its value. It is priced reasonably and comes with a generous portion. After trying a few other Thai restaurants in Augusta, this place really stands out. Sadly, I had a lot of disappointing Pad Thai, so I am aware of the different ways this dish can be messed up. Issues relating to too much fish sauce, almost zero spice, being too being dry, disappointing Pad Thai sauce, etc, are probably the most common. Fortunately, this place had none of these problems! This place is one of the few that stands out in my memory of doing a great job with getting the flavor right while still being quite spicy. Overall, this place was remarkable.

Pulled me in from the scent of their kitchen as I was walking by. Came out piping hot and fresh. Very generous with the portions! Dish is the Pad Thai with chicken - extra spice thanks to another reviewer mentioning you can ask for that. I'd only recommend they expand their choice of music played in the restaurant - I already hear Billie Joel and Maroon 5 everywhere I go, haha.

This seems like a family run place. Very nice and cozy. Please be kind as this isn’t a fast food place so you food can take time to prep. I ordered the shrimp pad Thai very spicy. I don’t think they believed me lol. I love spicy and could have been just a tad more but still good. I had the lunch special to go so I received a spring roll. The spring roll was really good! I would have liked a bit more for portion size but I think everything and everyone is utilizing smaller portions. Overall great would come back to try my other Thai favs.

My wife and I moved to Augusta about 2 years ago. She found this place and it’s been our staple takeaway spot since. The chicken pad Thai is stunning. The fried dumplings and chicken satay are great too. The servers are kind, and always remember your order. If you’re in town and crave some Vietnamese food, look no further.
