When I'm asked by friends where a good place to go for food in Augusta, Red Curry is always one of the top recommendations. It seems like people never hear of this place, and that stuns me cause everything I've had here is so good!
Augusta has a couple of Thai restaurants, all of them are good, but please give this hidden gem a try. The gentleman that runs the front end is very nice and polite, which makes returning a lot more desirable with excellent staff. I enjoyed everything that I tried here, especially the curry (surprised?).
Red, green, mango, and especially the jungle curry 🤤 The levels of spiciness (1 to 5) certainly adds the heat, but it's still tasty. Some places I have been to, the food is entire hot, difficult for other flavors to come through--- but not here. It's very well balanced, the taste is there, the heat comes, and then the taste is there again. As a bonus, the rice is presented in the shape of a heart or star, it's cute!
They start your meal with a small, simple soup. I love it. With everyone I take there all of us finish it off quickly. The drinks of Thai Iced Tea and Thai Iced Coffee are excellent. It does not matter how late I go there for dinner, I am getting one or the other.
I love this place. I hope whoever runs this place likes doing so, because I will keep returning for a very long time (and I'll keep...
Read moreMy family is not from this area we were just passed by on our way to get to our hotel. Searched for Asian restaurants and this is was the high stars that’s open at that day. The place looks ok and small, honestly we were not sure about eating here but we decided to give it a try. They gave us small cup of warm soup for complimentary before start of our meal (that was nice gesture). My son had drunken noodles, my husband had Indonesian fried rice and I had red curry with duck, appetizer was chicken satay and my drink was taro boba tea. Ok so from our family opinion about food, is not authentic like we have at our hometown (New Jersey/Pennsylvania). I’m originally from Indonesia and when I tried my husband Indonesian fried rice definitely the taste far out from it the only thing is similar is the eggs and the sliced cucumbers on the side. My son drunken noodles also had different seasonings. My red curry was ok. The taro boba tea was a bit too sweet and some what watery but the tapioca was good. The server (probably the owner) he was really friendly guy. Also their prices was really reasonable. Overall the food we had is eatable especially we were hungry so we pretty much will eat anything 😆 even tho wasn’t authentic...

This is my second visit to Red Curry, giving appropriate opportunity to wow me and I'm left wondering where that review score came from.
Order:
Sweet potato Maki x2 Avacado Maki Spicy Spider Roll California Roll Orange chicken Dumpling Yaki Udon with chicken
The Maki's and sushi were all uninspired, perhaps quality suffered due to not being eaten right away, but after having had similar circumstances numerous times for other Suishi spots, I can only give so much leniency. There was barely any wasabi and pickled ginger in the packages, leaving to rush to Google if there was a national Wasabi ingredient shortage...there wasn't and the wasabi that WAS there, definitely came out of a tube.
The orange chicken was just chicken katsu, lazily tossed in an orange sauce, and again, quality may have suffered due to not eating right away, but with the amount of sauce in the package, I'm not entirely sure if it's to blame.
The dumplings were bland but the sauce provided paired perfectly.
The Yaki Udon is a bit too oily, even given the cooking conditions.
I'd give a 3.5 if I could but since it's either 3 or...
