We have given up on Erb Thai. 9 times out of 10, they’re either closed or don’t answer the phone when you call to place an order. I just ordered a nice meal for my family, which they accepted and then cancelled without explanation. Want good Thai take out? Try Mai Thai. Food is as good but they are reliable.

Ordered basil fried rice with chicken and chicken lettuce wraps. The chicken lettuce wraps had a brown sauce that tasted a little smokey and crunch provided by celery. They didn’t skimp on the basil or peppers in the basil fried rice. Overall delicious and worth repeating.

Waste of money. Boba was the consistency of old overcooked potatoes. It was grainy and would literally fall apart in your month. The flavor of the taro boba was more water than taro. I spent 5 dollars on the drink just to throw it away. Don't get boba here, I don't know about their food but I haven't heard great things. There are way better placed in GR that's for sure.

Not impressed. We waited for 10 minutes for someone to come to the front. I ordered the veggie curry and the rice tasted stale like it was made hours ago and I didn't even get all the veggies listed on the menu. I was supposed to get mushrooms and eggplant along with basic veggies but literally got carrot, celery, and bean sprouts. Also our food was ready in like 5 minutes so I know the cook which was the only person working there did not try at all with our meals. My boyfriend got boba and there was a bug on the top so he told her and she just made him a new one but didn't even offer to get refunded. He gave the new one a try and the pearls were warm and mushy and he only took one sip and was done. I would not come here we normally go to Jasmine Thai in cedar springs which is soo amazing we will make the drive for.

Worst pad Thai I’ve ever had, especially for the price. It’s also ridiculous they charge $2.50 extra for gluten free and I still got a stomach ache. I only got this because Bangkok taste was closed, never again.

The foods is always incredible. We get it a few times a month. It's our favorite choice for thai food. I know we are all frustrated with their hours but please keep supporting this small business!!!. They want to be open too and are being very negatively affected by staff shortages. Please stay open Erb Thai we love your food! Please keep your hours updated so we know when you are open :) I'll be there soon for my favorite lime leaf curry!

My favorite Thai place in town! I love their curry dishes and have never had issues with my orders. Very tasty and I can't find any place like it

Erb Thai is the best Thai in Grand Rapids. We've had some issues with the hours not matching on Uber Eats and Grubhub, but they're worth the inconveniences. Hang in there! We all know how hard it is to run a restaurant right now, I know a lot of people are pulling for this one.

Yet again, they took our order and abruptly closed 30 minutes after accepting it. Don’t take orders you can’t fulfill, it’s not okay and you do it SO OFTEN. It’s disrespectful to your customers. I could understand if it was once or twice, but it’s been 30%+ of the time.Used to love you guys. Now I shake my head whenever we drive by and cross my fingers whenever we get a craving for your food. So very sick of this.

Great food but absolutely the worst service in the city. Multiple times have I tried to order well before they close and they claim that close early. Every time I have successfully ordered it’s taken at least 40 min to get my food. They also responded to my review saying I was lying about the time they close but I got my information directly from their website, clearly their website says that they are open until 9:30
Ordered a delivery thru grub hub with erb Thai only to have it cancelled 20min before it was supposed to be delivered. Usually not a huge deal except I was ordering for a family friend who had just had their baby and had a sick toddler at home. Apparently erb Thai had closed early out of the blue so I was left hanging. Super frustrating. I ordered hours in advance for a 5:15 delivery only to be notified at a little before 5 that it was cancelled.

Nice place. Small, but fast service.

The food is fantastic and some of our favorite Thai food for pickup anywhere!...the only reason this is 4 stars (and not 5) is because of the fact that it can be incredibly hard to order for pickup due to their being short-staffed, very unusual open business hours (that are not always updated on their website, door, Google, etc.), and busy phone line/no online ordering on their website.

I ordered and paid for a boba tea, and nothing else, but the guy working the counter went in the back and had not come out for 10+ minutes. I had to leave without even getting my order.

I have eaten at Erb Thai on and off for many years. Last night I ordered Curry Pad Thai gf with wide noodles and a level 4 spice. I was told there would be an extra $1 charge for the wide noodles. When I went to pick it up, the bill was over $16. I was told that they had to charge me $4 for gluten free (there’s no difference in sauces, I asked) and now $2 for the wide noodle. I asked why I’m being charged for something there’s been no alteration in sauce making but because I uttered the words “gluten free” he was charging me. I also asked why now I was being charged $2 for wide noodles when I was told $1? The man argued with me and asked me if I wanted the food, I said absolutely not for a dish that should have been $11, which I paid about three weeks ago. So if the menu changed in 2021 why didn’t I pay the same amount I paid three weeks previous? Horrible customer service!! I will NOT be going back.
