Both Pad Thai and Curry were bursting with so much flavor. Food was fresh and delightful. You can tell Dylan is very passionate with what he serves and takes pride in what he does.

I used to absolutely love this place. Although I wouldn’t come too often the peanut noodles were the absolute best every time!
This evening I ordered my fav. peanut noodles spice level 2. There was no answer when I called, which is typical. The message was different than it used to be, a new voice. I did not leave a message as I planned to wait a few and call back , which I had to do often before. To my surprise, they called me back! How lovely. Customer service was great and the young man was very polite and friendly.
I just started eating. These do not look the same nor do they taste the same. They aren’t bad, but they are not what I was looking forward to. The old noodles were creamier and more liquid in the bowl. They looked dry when I opened the container. Noodles are at the verge of overcooked, and the spice, feels at least a 3. It is lingering still on my tongue. Disappointed.

I called the place after a few bites of my meal to ask and verify if they put cilantro on the chicken pad thai specifically.
I was told it comes on most dishes. It is not mentioned on the menu and I would of asked for no cilantro on all the meals. I ordered 2 chicken pad thai and sweet n sour chicken.
I removed as much cilantro as I could from our dishes but it is just SOO STRONG.
Buyer beware cilantro. I asked them to update their menu as most people I know hate cilantro or it taste like soap.
Also I checked my third meal, my husband's, before I went home to give it to him. (30 minutes after pickup and it was still steaming hot.) I was given cashew stir fry rather than sweet and sour stir fry. My receipt does verify what I called and ordered. They agreed to finally remake it as I couldn't just get a refund. I guess sweet and sour is supposed to have cashews. Also it has mushrooms and both of these ingredients are not listed on their menu, but they claimed it was. Just buyer beware verify the ingredients in new dishes or trying this place for the first time.
I haven't had thai nation in about a year. I tried it a month or so after the ownership changed to see if it was still good. Since then they have been fine tuning the recipes.

We had Thai Nation in Burton tonight and… WOW. 🔥 Everything was absolutely delicious!! Fresh, flavorful, and made with care. Zero complaints, just full bellies and happy taste buds! 😋 From the crispy spring rolls to the perfectly cooked noodles and rice dishes, every bite was incredible. The owner/cook was so friendly and professional..you can really tell he puts his heart into the food. It’s a small local business, and if you’re someone who loves supporting places like that (especially when the food is this good), I highly recommend giving them a try!
I got chicken drunken noodle and it was delicious. As a Thai person, the taste was very authentic and the guy who helped me out, Zack (or Zach/Zac; unsure which spelling he preferred), was really kind! Amazing portions as well! I love it! Great atmosphere

This place is so delicious! We’ve been here a couple times now and are looking forward to coming back again. We sat in and at family style tonight. We ordered 4 different dinners and each one was fantastic. Very bold, uniquely Thai flavors that are done perfectly. The crab ragoons are the best we’ve had. Everything is fresh and never frozen. 100% recommend.
Don’t want to leave a bad review so leaving 4* but we just pulled up at 3:20 pm and both Yelp and Google said they were open but the place is closed. So not sure if they are out of business or closed on Sundays but didn’t update the business listings. So hopefully this review will prompt them to fix the listing.
Wow. This place blew my mind and dominated my taste buds. I was passing through the area and had a craving for some sort of peanut chicken dish, and this was the only thing that popped up, so I went for it, and was very impressed.
I placed a to-go order for the peanut noodles with chicken, and a side of chicken dumplings. The flavors, texture and quality was out of this world.
The dumplings were very good, but next time, I would see if I could possibly get the sauce they were served in on the side. Might be better in a dine in experience, but the amount of sauce in the to-go box kind of overwhelmed the dumplings as a whole, and kept everything piping hot.
Speaking of heat... one issue I often have with restaurants, is that the food doesn't come out hot enough. That is not the case here. Both the dumplings and the noodles were insanely hot! I had to wait about 15 minutes before I could even take a bite. The freshness and heat was incredible.
As for the peanut noodles... my gosh. The depth of flavor in the peanut sauce was divine. The sweetness of the coconut milk, blended with the chili peppers, and savory peanuts was unreal. And the noodles... so thick, and they sop up all the flavor of the sauce so well.
The portion size was massive, which made me feel better about the price tag. The price wasn't high for the level of quality by any means. But knowing that I'm going to be getting three or four meals of it makes it even better.
While I can't speak on the experience of dining in here, I was fascinated by the single table aspect. If I lived in the area, I would definitely reserve a table and get the dine in experience with friends or family. Since there is only one table, don't expect to walk in and be seated by a host. Definitely call ahead.
The last thing I want to say is, when I arrived to up to pick up my order, I had to wait about five minutes, and in that time, I had the pleasure of overhearing the kitchen staff talking about ingredients and their cooking process. I could tell they were very passionate about what they make and serve there. It was obvious they care from the quality of the food by itself... but hearing them talk about this in a candid way really solidified it, and was quite charming.
I wish I lived close enough to come back again, because my experience was so wonderful that I want to explore the rest of the menu to discover what other heavenly dishes the chefs have come up with.
Thai Nation Bistro is without a doubt, the best Thai food I have had to date. It's going to be hard to find a place that can top this level of quality, quantity and flavor at any price level.

Wow the food is AMAZING! I ordered the peanut noodle , spice 1. Perfect 🫶🏼 it’s so flavorful! I got it with the shrimp! 🦐 highly recommend! The Staff was friendly and very helpful! ☺️
Ordered dinner tonight. The food was amazing. Highly recommend you give this place a try. Definitely will be back.
This was a great experience, its a little thai oasis. Ill be going here quite often from now on. Great food , great atmosphere, and the service was perfect
I truly loved my drunken noodle and pad Thai! Very delicious!
When it was sold from the original owners, I had heard the they showed the new owner how to cook. The quality of the food went down dramatically. I tried it once a few months ago and wasn’t impressed. I decided to try it again but this time I would get Pad Thai. I still wasn’t impressed. It was one of my favorite places to go, now I won’t be back.
