48 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!“

“First introduction to Malaysian food and it was delicious! Got the Nasi Lemak and Hainanese chicken rice. Both dishes looked and tasted amazing. We also got the Roti Canai as an appetizer, which really stood out. For the unique flavors offered here, it felt extremely fair priced. Will definitely be coming back.“

“So much flavor! Crab fried rice will have you hooked. Have the Khao soi and experience really northern Thai food! The chicken fell off the bone and homemade noodles were perfect! We can’t wait to go back and try other items“

“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.“

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

“Booked it for a colleague's leaving lunch and the team handled twelve of us without breaking a sweat. Food came out together and was great across the board. Staff were warm and patient with our slightly emotional group. Bill split easily and was very fair. Lovely send-off venue, will be using again. Thank you to all.“

“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. 💗“

“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!“

“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.“

“Had been going to this place for a while before the hostess on the phone told me their spice levels. Mild, Med, Hot, then 1X - 10X extra hot. She told me 5X is about habanero and 10X is about ghost pepper level.

I tried 4X and it was close to the hottest thing I've eaten lol. Even got advice on what I could do if it was too spicy. Very pleased with my order, I don't know if I'll go hotter than that, but the food was very flavorful in its own right, disregarding the spice.

Like I said, been getting taken out here for a while, and will definitely come back for more“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great Thai food, friendly service, in a little mini mall torn straight from the early 1980s. As far as I can tell, this is pretty authentic (though I'm not Thai, so take that with a big grain of salt). Provides a decent amount of spice, great flavors! They've got a good vegetarian selection.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

“The staff are really nice. Friendly, easy to talk to, jovial even. We talked hot sauces for a few minutes while waiting for my order.
The menu is quite expansive, well-organized, with solid descriptions. Numbers provided in case you can't or don't want to try pronouncing the dish names. I certainly understand.
I finally decided to go with a favorite for my order, Vegetable Curry w/Shrimp, extra hot 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶
The spice level is accurate. I love hot food. But I ordered the Extra Hot - based on other restaurants levels - and wished I'd stuck with simply hot. For those who really want to push the 🔥, I was informed they had ghost peppers available for your dining pleasure. You're an adult, make good decisions.
My only complaint: one of the veggies, eggplant, I believe, was overcooked and quite soft, almost mushy. Flavor was delicious, spice level as expected. The quantity was very good and the price terrific.
I'll definitely return, there are too many offerings that I need to check out. I'll likely return to the review & tweak it as necessary.“

“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 ❤️“

“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.“

“Best pho hands down! Sometimes I come here 3-4 times a week. I been to other pho restaurants across metro Detroit & this place by far is my favorite! The broth is to die for! Even my 10 year old daughter is addicted. This place never fails me & should definitely consider opening earlier during the week. I be craving it as soon as I open my eyes! Keep up the great work!“

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

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

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

“the peanut chicken was delicious but I'm not fond of drunken noodles, otherwise heck yes“

“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 *“

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

“I absolutely love this restaurant! Our food was hot, fresh and beyond delicious! Definetly on my favorite list for Chinese food! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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 .“

“Amazing halal restaurant in Warren, Michigan“

“We decided to order food from Thai Tanic for delivery tonight. I got the simple fried rice with chicken, my husband got pineapple fried rice with pork. It was delicious! My husband loved how the pork was prepared. We both learned we need to order a spice level down from normal here, but that's okay! We will know for next time :)“
