50 Best Thai Restaurants near Madison Heights

“I stumbled across a TikTok video today where the guy raved that the curry puffs with the cucumber salad at Sunrise Thai were absolutely fire — so of course I had to go check it out for myself. And let me tell you… he wasn’t lying.

Sunrise Thai is tucked into a little strip mall, but like the guy said, those are always the best spots — and this place proves it. I ordered the curry puffs and Pad Thai with chicken, and everything was phenomenal.

The curry puffs were insanely good — perfectly crispy, packed with flavor, and dipping them into the cucumber salad took it to a whole different level. And the Pad Thai? Delicious. Perfect balance of sweet, savory, and a little tang, with tender chicken and noodles cooked just right.

On top of all that, the service was great — friendly, fast, and welcoming. I’m 100% coming back. Sunrise Thai is a hidden gem that absolutely lives up to the hype!“

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

“I love the Roti Canai, Hainanese Chicken with rice and the sauteed bok choy. Will keep going back even for just these! The fish balls were good, too, but way too small for the price which I don't think justifies it. I would try their other menu options next time.“

“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!!“

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

“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.“

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

“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 ♥️“

“Got the Chicken Pad Thai..With extra chicken and egg along with 3 spring rolls. Was a little pricey, probably because I had them add extra but I like it that way. Nice spice level, medium + is where I tend to like it. Food was ready as soon as I go there. Was hot and delicious.“

“Dan and I had a fabulous lunch today ! Also had a great conversation with the owner Visa !, she and her hubby are the nicest people on the planet ! You won’t find a cleaner restaurant in town , food is top notch ! We love them !“

“I love this place. The other day a woman came in and Without trying her food tried to say it was disgusting. Made a Big huge scene which caused some customers to leave. I stayed to make sure nothing happened.And now is constantly harassing them and won't leave them alone. The owner and the staff was professional and tried to solve the problem which the lady was not having. Then called her husband and had him come up later that day to harass the owner, And her employees. Now i'm on facebook and watching this lady, Her husband, And her friend harass this business owner. yes It is very important to say that her husband kept repeating he owns his own business. so I am guessing they are doing this because he needs more business? trying to put her out of business so he can get her customers? I was there and this owner should not have to deal with the harassment from them. sorry you have to. keep doing you and all your customers that know you will keep coming back. I know I will.“

“Great food, humble staff. I ordered Curry fried rice extra hot and was not disappointed. The gentleman that took my order seemed a bit flabbergasted when I ordered extra hot and made sure that's what I wanted. Very kind, and great food.“

“I've been coming here since day one but while gobbling up my last order, I realized I have never left a review, oops!

Amy's is 100% legit. The food is OUTSTANDING. And unlike with some Thai places, the portions match the price you're paying, so you're getting your money's worth.

And speaking of money, pay with cash to help local businesses and pay a reduced rate and get free soft drink in the process. Boom.“

“Awesome and authentic! I'm Asian i love real asian food!“

“This place changed my life. Everyone was so kind and welcoming. They answered my questions after meditation and even made me CDs of meditations to take home. At a time of my life when my health wasn't good, and my anxiety was even worse, this place helped truly helped me. Even though it has been years since I have been here, I haven't forgotten & I never will. 💗“

“Honestly the best thai food out there. We got the royal crispy rolls, crab ragoons and chicken pad thai. Recommend those dishes.“

“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“

“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!“

“Mays is a goto for me!!! I’m in love with the King Ka Lee I believe. It’s the yellow curry with rice, chicken and potatoes. Perfect for a winter day. The food is always cooked fresh and you can watch them cook it. It’s really fast I like to order when I get there because it only takes a real 5 mins. And I add a Thai tea for the spice. Ima medium + spice kinda guy. If you want to go crazy add mushrooms.“

“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!“

“I ordered the #1 noodles with shrimp, it was excellent, season well and tasted great, this was an awesome meal, my very first time at this place. I do not really eat out because I like to cook, but wanted to try something different today. My husband and myself shared and love the food.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“I ordered the chicken and shrimp dumplings which were kind of small but pretty good. Also the drunken noodles which were bomb. My boyfriend ordered the chive pancakes, super tasty. Also the curry rice with tofu. It was so so good. Totally will be coming 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!“

“tried for the first time today I ordered chicken satay and spicy almond chicken both very good I will definitely be back“

“I had an absolutely incredible experience here. I ordered the curry noodle with chicken, and it was phenomenal—perfectly balanced spice, deep rich flavor, and the extra green onion and cilantro took it to another level. Every bite was vibrant, fresh, and comforting at the same time.

What truly makes this place special, though, is the heart behind it. This is a small, husband-and-wife–owned restaurant, and you can feel the care and pride in everything they do. The food isn’t just cooked—it’s crafted with love, tradition, and attention to detail. You don’t get that everywhere.

This is the kind of place you want to support: authentic food, genuine people, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. If you’re in the area and want real Thai flavors, not watered-down versions, this spot is a gem. I will absolutely be coming back—and recommending it to everyone I know.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“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!“

“Three visits in under the new ownership, and I can confidently say—WOW! This has quickly become my go-to spot in the area for both lunch and dinner. The quality is top-notch, the food is delicious, and to my surprise, the Thai Iced Tea is the best I’ve had since Chicago - very smooth and unique.“

“Our absolute favorite Thai Restaurant hands down. Consistently exceptional food and service. Thank you once again for the perfect amount of spice 🌶 I ordered beef Gang Dang mild + and the beef was melt in your mouth tender and spice spot on. My hubs had vegetable curry with beef and medium 🌶 it was perfect. Yum! We highly recommend this location ❤️“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“The food was great! We will be back! Staff was wonderful too.“

“Good food friendly fast service. Great flavor just enough heat.Tried Gang keaw warn a new favorite“

“First time visit to Detroit Shipping Co. and wanted to try a bit of everything. Bangkok 96 Street Food was definitely a highlight! My boyfriend got a Tikka Masala from the spot next door but he loved my grilled chicken so much we got a candied beef and some crab ragon to go. Genevieve, the owner, was the absolute sweetest. We really felt like family and can taste the love put into the food. We cant wait to return and try everything else! * BEST CRAB RAGON I'VE HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE *“

“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!!“

“Ordered general tsos chicken was delicious“

“the food is good and pretty healthy and they do have the best crab rangoons! unfortunately due to their price increases I won't be able to come here very often anymore. $20 for one entree with rice and crab rangoons 😣“

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

“the food is great the brown gravy is the best I've had, the chicken is not heavy breaded (awesome plus for me) but the only thing i don't like is the waiting area is VERY small. You need to open the door slowly because you might hit someone waiting inside. witch i don't understand because they have a restaurant inside but apparently you cant dine in .“
