Mai Thai Restaurant

Hole in the wall Thai place. However, they have a lot of menu options and the food is really good. They customized the heat level for our group from low to very high and it was spot on for everyone's taste.

I'm an owner of a Thai restaurant in Boston, who also cooked Thai food, been to Thailand, and have tried Thai food all over the United States, and this wasn't it. I called to ordered pick up and they had no idea what papaya salad was. That was a red flag for me. I ordered anyway because this was the closest Thai restaurant to my friend's house. I ordered larb, pad thai, pineapple fried rice, and chicken wings. Larb was lack of citrus flavor. The pork was not stirred fried enough. Had an after taste. Pad thai was eatable, not great. Not enough sweetness on the noodles. Fried rice was terrible. It was very soggy. When cooking fry rice, you have to cook the white rice a certain way and the rice should rest in the fridge before frying it. There were no pineapple flavored. Just alot of soy sa

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.

MainThai is the only place we go for Thai food. We stumbled on it when we moved here and have gone back many times. It's quaint and unassuming and the food is delicious. The staff has always been friendly and attentive. They have a full menu that guarantees you'll find something you love. Mai Thai is one of the restaurants we take out of town friends to and they always enjoy it.

Grilled beef salad was excellent, one of the best. Flavors & aroma so good. Mixed seafood was very good, especially the squid, and sweet & salty sauce. Soup & green curry was average. Large portions & very reasonable prices. 2 thumbs up.
