50 Best Thai Restaurants near Birmingham

“I come all the way from Lavonia just to eat here.“

“Everything was AMAZING! We shared spring rolls, chicken pad Thai & chicken drunken noodles! Highly recommend“

“The food there was so delicious! And the best part is, the employees are SO nice and friendly!!“

“I first stopped here because I was on my way to Detroit and desperately needed to use a rest room! The interior blew me away how beautifully decorated it was. It’s a small space but the service was extremely friendly! I’d say it’s upscale Thai. Their Thai cold coffee is delicious! 🤤 it’s honestly one of the best ambiances I’ve had in a restaraunt even though it’s small. My only complaint is they did not ask what spice level we wanted our dishes to be (which is strange) so my friend and my food was a bit spicy to share with our kids. I’d definitely go back tho. Can’t get over how adorable they did with the interior decorating and attention to detail with the food and space! Thank you for being friendly to me even when I was not a customer yet. ❤️👌😀🌸🌸 and being patient with a table with two 4 year olds.“

“One of the best Thai foods I trayed. Very quick service. Very nice front desk lady.“

“The food was on point. I’m from NY so I was skeptical at first but I really enjoyed it. The mango milk tea with boba was excellent! Definitely recommend this place ♥️“

“the food is amazing! service is great and love the atmosphere. the owner is so sweet and takes pride in work and making every experience wonderful for her customers.“

“Fab Thai with exceptional service! Thought I’d recommended this gem before, but apparently didn’t save my endorsement.“

“Amazing food and service every time we eat here.“

“Siam Spicy is excellent! Phil and his family are so kind and their customer service is great. The freshness and quality of the food is exceptional! We love it there and go regularly. It never disappoints and we cannot recommend it enough!!! Best Thai in the city!!!“

“Pudthai Sushi is one of my absolute favorite local spots for both sushi and Thai cuisine. The ingredients are always incredibly fresh and every dish is full of flavor. Whether I’m stopping in for a quick dinner or grabbing takeout, the service is consistently fast, friendly and reliable. The sushi rolls are beautifully prepared and never disappoint. Love their Pad Thai too!! A neighborhood gem that always delivers.“

“We have been coming here for over five years and we have never had a bad meal! Gang Gai, Tom Kah, Are amongst our favorites!

Thank you for staying open and now that we live an hour and 15 minutes away, we don’t get to come as much, but When we’re in the area, we always stop in just like today 11/26/25“

“From the moment you step into this place, you feel it — that perfect mix of homey and effortlessly cool. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, like you’re visiting a friend who’s got really good taste in both food and interior design. Think soft lighting, Thai art, chill music, and the faint smell of lemongrass and spices floating through the air.

Now the food? Absolutely unreal. Every dish hits with flavor that feels both comforting and exciting at the same time. Their Pad Thai is the best I’ve had outside of Thailand — slightly sweet, tangy, and cooked just right. The green curry is rich and soul-warming, and don’t sleep on the mango sticky rice — it’s life-changing. Portions are generous, and everything is plated with care, but not in a fussy way.

The staff are genuinely kind, not just polite. You can tell they care. One of them even shared the story behind a family recipe when I asked about the sauce on the grilled chicken — turns out it’s made the same way their grandmother used to make it back in Bangkok.

Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or settling in for a long dinner with friends, this spot nails it. It’s the kind of place you end up coming back to again and again — not just for the food, but because it makes you feel good to be there“

“Sunrise Thai is one of my favorite spots! The pad Thai and crab rangoon are the best around. It is flavorful and always fresh. The restaurant is super clean, quiet, and there’s always a table ready. The staff is nice and the food comes out fast and hot every time. Definitely a go-to!“

“The flavors were on point and so fresh. The service was quick and the atmosphere was good!“

“Absolutely stunning food highly highly recommend“

“We recently ordered takeout from Penn’s Thai Cafe under its new ownership, and WOW, what a treat!

We’ve been fans of the chef owner’s cooking for a long time, so when they opened their own restaurant, we couldn’t wait to try it. You can truly taste the passion and authenticity in every dish.

The pad prick nor mai made with fresh bamboo, was a standout and something rarely found at this level outside of Thailand. We also had the kra pow moo grob (crispy pork basil stir fry) which was perfectly balanced - crispy, savory, and packed with flavor. Their pad Thai was excellent as well, with a rich depth of flavor and tanginess that sets it apart from the usual.

For appetizers, the minced pork bun with egg and the crab rangoon were a delightful surprise. They were comforting, flavorful, and a great way to start the meal. We didn’t get a chance to try their newest dessert, i-Tim Kati (coconut ice cream), but it is definitely on our list for next time!

Highly recommend!“

“I always get the Pad Thai. delicious and very large portions and very reasonably priced menu.“

“The new owners have improved the interior and it is now open on weekends, which is nice. They now encourage you to use an app instead of calling in orders, which charges an extra fee. Also, they removed the one item I've always ordered (since 2012) and liked most - Pad Prik, so I've mostly stopped going here.“

“My husband and I, along with several friends, have been devoted patrons of this gem for the past eight years, and it remains our favorite Thai restaurant in Michigan. As self-proclaimed Thai food connoisseurs—and having had the privilege of visiting Thailand—we can confidently say this place is a standout.

The dishes are consistently packed with bold, authentic flavors and are always perfectly prepared. Not only is the food absolutely delicious, but the value is truly unmatched. The generous portions and incredible quality make the price point almost too good to be true.

We’ve been ordering from here at least once a week—sometimes twice—for the past seven years, and it never disappoints. The efficiency is remarkable, with most orders ready in about 10 minutes. For those new to the menu, we highly recommend trying the combo options, which include fried rice, a crispy chicken wing, and a flavorful soup alongside your entrée.

This restaurant has become a beloved part of our weekly routine, and it continues to deliver exceptional meals with every visit. Truly, a hidden treasure we can’t recommend enough.“

“Family owned small business run by some of the hardest working people you will find. This is easily some of the best Thai Food in SE Michigan, and they have the editorial food critic reviews, and professional awards, to prove it. Humble, kind and amazing humans serving up very high level food.“

“I recently made my first visit back to Bangkok Express in quite some time, and it was a nostalgic trip down memory lane! This place used to be one of my go-to spots to take my Aunt Bertha in between her doctor visits and physical therapy sessions, and it holds a special place in my heart as we approach a year since her transition. We always ordered the sweet-and-sour shrimp (no heat), adding extra onions and shrimp for that burst of flavor!

Walking into the restaurant, I noticed they’re still operating with the COVID-style wrap and cover, so there's no dining in anymore, which was a bit disappointing. However, the warm welcome from the family that runs the place made up for it. They were incredibly friendly, and it felt great to see familiar faces.

The food was just as delicious as I remembered! While chatting with a couple who were visiting for the first time, I was happy to share my recommendations. I’m glad I could provide them with an accurate review based on my past experiences.

Overall, I had a wonderful time at Bangkok Express, and I look forward to returning again soon. It’s a great spot for anyone looking for tasty Thai food and a friendly atmosphere!“

“They have some of the best Thai food in the area. Great prices and large amounts. Nice employees too. I'm here at least once a week.“

“Thai Star is a small and quaint spot with a relaxed, no-frills atmosphere. While the décor feels a bit outdated, it adds to the charm of an established local restaurant that focuses on what truly matters — good food at reasonable prices.

Each meal comes with a spring roll and soup, both of which were absolutely delicious. I ordered the Pad Cashew with added water chestnuts, and it was incredible — I’ve been craving it ever since. My partner had the Pad Prik with shrimp, which was also great, though I’d recommend trying it with beef instead for a richer flavor.

The service was decent, though not particularly warm, but the quality and taste of the food more than made up for it. Overall, Thai Star is a great date spot and a perfect choice for anyone who values authentic, flavorful Thai food over fancy presentation.“

“This has been my favorite Thai restaurant for a while now. When they know you by name when you make a phone-in order, it just feels right. I love their hot&sour soup, and the Prik Khing is my go to for just adding some joy to my life.“

“This place is the BEST! Fresh organic food, gluten free options- no MSG- best Thai food, generous portions and reasonable prices Grateful to have a healthy and delicious option for dining out!“

“The food is excellent. If you're vegan and dining in, tell them right away you don't want the soup and seafood chips that come with it (otherwise, you're just wasting them). I only had a bad experience one time when there was a hair in my food. Prices are reasonable.“

“Great Pad Thai curry! But! It was definitely missing some cilantro, lime, and the peanuts. I would've loved to have all that. The noodles were a bit overcooked, but nothing to be disappointed about. A bit on the greasy side for me, but not a big deal. Will still be back!“

“First time here today, wow the food was delicious & the customer service topped it off! We dinned in & had pad Thai, crispy rolls, crab Rangoon, bacon fried rice & pad see ew to-go. Thank you Ahan Thai, I’ll be back!“

“Excellent location friendly staff, lots of menu options. The small bite size rangoons were wonderful. And when they say something is hot, they actually mean it.“

“For takeout they're hard to beat. Good prices. The spice level you'd swear they're rolling dice blindfolded, but usually i'll get one mild and one medium. Mixing them together helps get the level right.

I'd also encourage sitting down, having a beer, and ordering some more appetizers some time. The inside seating has a great atmosphere and it's usually not busy.“

“I have been eating at, and ordering from, the various Bangkok Cuisine locations for over 25 years. It is the best Thai food I have ever had. I actually crave this food when I haven't had it in awhile.

Due to a series of very bad experiences with a different location, I had to find a new one. I was fortunate to find this one. It has different ownership, and it is obvious that the owners and the staff take pride in the business and are dedicated to making their food and service a quality experience.

I have ordered take-out at this location many times now, and I wish I had switched to them long ago. The food is always fresh, tasteful, and the quality is far above the other location.

My favorites are the Pad Kra Tiem Prik Taii and the Hot and Sour Soup.“

“I come all the way from Lavonia just to eat here.“

“🍽️ Bangkok City, Southfield, MI: 👍👍👍👍

Experience Thai-inspired dishes at Bangkok City in Southfield, where diners enjoy a casual meal, albeit with a few areas for improvement.

FOOD QUALITY👍: We tried the Basil Fried Rice and Panang Curry. The flavors were decent, though the dishes leaned more toward an Americanized version of Thai food rather than authentic Thai cuisine. Nonetheless, the meal was satisfying.

SERVICE👍: The service was efficient and friendly, especially considering the restaurant’s crowd during lunchtime. The staff managed the busy rush well and ensured a pleasant experience.

VALUE for MONEY👍: The price was reasonable for the quantity of food served, making it a good option for those looking for a casual, tasty meal.

AMBIENCE & CLEANLINESS👎: The ambiance was a bit lacking, and cleanliness was not up to expectations. The restaurant felt crowded, and the space could benefit from a more pleasant, well-maintained environment.

LOCATION & ACCESSIBILITY👍: Conveniently located in Southfield, Bangkok City is easily accessible for anyone in the area who wants to enjoy a quick Thai-inspired meal.

In summary, Bangkok City offers a good, casual Thai meal at a reasonable price, with friendly service. However, improvements in ambiance and cleanliness would enhance the overall dining experience. It’s a decent option, but there are areas to improve to make it a more enjoyable spot for diners.“

“I came in after work with a take out order for two and it was ready within 10 minutes. The pork spring rolls were 🔥! I was warned that their Medium was like other restaurants’ Hot and they meant it! They do have a small dining area, but I think take out and delivery are their primary focus. We just found this restaurant and will be coming back!“

“I really love this place, but PLEASE fix it so that Fresh Rolls can be ordered through Uber again. They are on the menu on DoorDash, but went missing off the UberEats menu several months ago.“

“So first of all the food came out fast, I appreciate that I DoorDash also so I stopped here for lunch and I didn’t have long.
I got shrimp pad Thai for about 12 bucks
And I got it spicy(hot)
Oh 👍🏾
Its great chat
Lol
The noodles really soak up the flavor, and for people who like spice like myself, it is actually spicy🫡“

“This is my favorite restaurant. This was my go to spot when I lived in the area and was pretty bummed when I moved away. A year later I found myself back in town and the food is still excellent, staff are friendly, and the atmosphere is calm and cozy.“

“My sister found this place while in town for work and it is fantastic! I’ve been here multiple times and everything on the menu is at least an 8/10. Calm atmosphere, fast service, and delicious food!“

“My favorite restaurant. Period. Great food. Best sushi. Excellent service and very well priced.“

“📍 Google Maps (straightforward & concise)

Finally found my go-to Thai spot! Prime Thai nails authentic flavors: fresh, bold, and balanced. The Pad Bi Kra Basil with fried egg is a must (pro tip: add an extra egg, yolk 80% cooked, and a splash of soy/fish sauce).“

“Our #1 for Thai takeout!! We’ve loved ordering from here for many years. Our favorites are the drunken noodles, gang dang, gang penang, massaman curry, and spring rolls. It’s a small shop, but the friendliest family run spot. It’s a gem!! Never disappointed here.“

“Ordered Pho Ga and Pineapple rice Through Grubhub. The food is MOST EXCELLENT!“

“I haven't been in this area for several years, but it was on the way back from an appointment, and I thought I'd look it up and there they were.It's changed hands management wise a couple times but the food did not fail.My waitress Zang, was absolutely precious.I have some arthritis in my hands.And they were really stiff, and I asked her if she would help me ladle out the soup & then pack my leftovers up for me. She was so gracious and kind, over& above the call of duty. The fresh shrimp rolls were fabulous.I had forgotten that they had the peanut sauce.I'd been getting them at another restaurant that's on my regular route, that has a sweet clear sauce. So when this came to the table, it threw me. I'm pretty sure when I visited several years ago,it was a lighter brown- it was fabulous! Bless her heart, Zang brought me a side of the clear sauce, too. The tom yum soup was terrific.Loaded with shrimp and shrooms, and you can see it's a good size portion. My bill was $20. You literally cannot beat that with a stick....so be kind to your wait staff and tip good!“

“This was my first exposure to Vietnamese food and it was a great experience. The meal was very tasty, great portions, reasonable pricing, very friendly staff and I am so glad we ate here. Definitely will be back.“

“Place was great, food tasted amazing and the atmosphere was so nice. The place was so clean and had the Japanese vibes to it. What was even better was the service, the server and the chef were so nice, the chef even made a special item that wasn’t on the menu just for me. Overall one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to.“

“Why are people sleeping on Tokyo Sushi?? We recently stumbled on this gem and can’t seem to stay away! Their sushi is fantastic, and the value is unbeatable. Run by the sweetest family who always makes us feel welcome. Can’t say enough about how great this restaurant is!!“

“Our new favorite for sushi & Thai!! Great taste & portions for reasonable prices!! Highly recommend!!!!“

“this is by far the best Chinese food I have ever had. If I lived next-door I would be there everyday.“

“We came in to a surprisingly empty store. However the place was immaculate and the server was super kind!
We ordered for carry out and got our food in minutes.
The food itself was amazing. Flavourful while not being too spicy. According to my boyfriend, the Bangkok Chicken was “the best I’ve ever had”.
The gluten free (& vegetarian) options were very clearly marked, which I very much appreciate.“
