Kai Thai Restaurant
About This Spot
Stepping into Kai Thai Restaurant feels like slipping into a calm, inviting corner where leisurely meals unfold with quiet warmth. Nestled along Milledgeville’s lively Columbia Street, this spot carries a relaxed neighborhood charm that welcomes both regulars and curious newcomers in equal measure. The rhythm here is unhurried yet attentive—a place where time seems to slow just enough for you to savor each moment, from the gentle greeting at the door to the final pleasant hush after the last bite.
The atmosphere blends subtle touches of Southeast Asian vibrancy with a soft, welcoming glow that casts a comfortable mood over every table. Whether you’re settled in for an early dinner or catching up with friends after work, the experience feels personal—like a friend’s thoughtfully prepared meal, shared with conversation and laughter. The staff’s warmth is quietly reassuring; attentive but never intrusive, fostering a space where your focus naturally returns to enjoying good food and good company.
Here, the culinary journey meanders through a rich tapestry of flavors and textures. Imagine delicate spring rolls that crackle with fresh herbs and crunch, or a bowl of yellow curry that radiates gentle spice and a creamy balance of coconut and fragrant herbs. Sushi rolls arrive with a freshness and flair that nods to a more modern take on Thai-Asian fusion, inviting moments of discovery with each bite. The menu doesn’t rush you; it encourages savoring dishes steeped in homely comfort and carefully curated tastes—from the comforting embrace of Pad Thai noodles to the bold, zingy notes of green curry.
Kai Thai is the kind of place where the joy of eating goes beyond the plate. It’s in the glow of quiet conversations, the clink of glasses raised in celebration, and the simple pleasure of finding a local gem that feels comfortably familiar yet endlessly inviting. It’s where food, atmosphere, and thoughtful service quietly come together to create small moments worth returning for.

This is a great place to eat. If you go between 6:00 to 7:30 on the weekend expect a wait, but it will be worth it. I had the red curry with shrimp. Delicious!

This was our first visit here, AND it will certainly not be our last. The food, the service, and the atmosphere were all a solid five stars (on a 1 to 5 chart). We were blown away at how good the food was. Service is prompt, and our server kept us updated on our orders. I ordered the Sweet & Sour Chicken and Rice along with a bowl of pineapple fried rice. I strongly recommend this dish. Everything was cooked to perfection. The blend of onions, pineapple, zuchinna, and rice paired well with the fried chicken. My wife had the Yakisoba. We got the Ginger toss salad as a starter. Everything was perfect. I can't remember when I enjoyed eating out this much. The entrees are large enough to share. To our server, Aleece, thank you so much for your service and for making this an enchanting dining experience.

We had such a wonderful time at Kai Thai Restaurant! The atmosphere felt warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in. Our waiter, Ashley, was exceptionally friendly, attentive, and genuinely supportive — she made the whole experience even better. The food was fantastic: the sashimi came in huge, super-fresh portions, and the yellow curry was honestly the best I’ve ever tried — rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. We also enjoyed their Oktoberfest draft beer, which was fresh, smooth, and very tasty. A great spot with amazing food and even better service. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Congratulations to the 2025 winner. I went there and had the burger, I knew it would win. Nice. Went to my first restaurant for the Milledgeville GA Burger Week. The burger named, Thai Royal is an awesome burger and will be hard to beat in this friendly burger war. The presentation, the attention to detail, and taste make this a burger in the one percent area! I posted all the ingredients instead of listing. A great burger!!! Also, when there, get the salad, the dressing is awesome. I also added a spring roll.

This restaurant is fantastic! The food is amazing. Mixed drinks a little too sweet so beware. I could go on and on about the food! This place is definitely a favorite. I was enjoying the food so much that I forgot to take a picture of the sushi rolls we ordered.

Everything about this place was good. Plenty of space with sushi bar set up towards the back. Play soft, soothing music that you can enjoy without it drowning out your conversation. The decor is fresh and nicely done. The service was A+. Our server was very knowledgeable about the dishes and had great recommendations. The food was very very good. All our dishes came out in a timely fashion and was hot. Had a really good visual presentation as well. Reasonably priced also. 3 appetizers, 2 entrees, a mixed drink and a sweet tea...$88!! First time trying but will definitely be going again!!

The restaurant was very nice. The decor was really nice. I'm not sure how long they have been at this location, but my impression of environment was that it looked "new" as in recently opened. Even better was something that is woefully missing these days and that's good customer service. But, I would go a step further to say they had great service. We were promptly seated. The waitress was extremely professional, helpful and very courteous. I had to step out to take a call and she offered to put my food under a heat lamp to keep it warm until my return. She inquired about how I like my food (mild or spicy), offered refils on drinks and a to go box.These things used to be the norm, not so much these days. But, she did it with a smile, in a timely manner, without having to be summoned and not having to go back and forth because she forgot something because she was rushing or holding a conversation too long at our table. She was attentive as my wife was running late and she returned promptly to the table to take our order once she arrived and inquired about the check as we finished eating. As we were leaving one gentleman reminded us to be safe in the rainy weather and another thanked us for coming in and wished us great evening. Again, nothing over the top, but extremely pleasant, especially compared to recent visits to other restaurants. Oh! the food was excellent, definitely going back. Love Thai Fried Rice with beef!
