40 Best Thai Restaurants near Pontiac

“Absolutely stunning food highly 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.“

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

“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!!!“

“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!“

“Excellent food. Friendly and attentive staff. Clean dining room and bathrooms. Great price for the quality of the food. Pineapple and peanut curry are new and exciting options, as well as the pho.“

“My friends and I ate dinner Friday night at Thai fix. The staff was friendly and our waitress was nice. We had dine in and they did not rush us out. I loved the Tom Yum soup. We also had noodles, rice, garlic chicken, along with sweet and sour chicken.“

“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.“

“Best in the area!“

“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!“

“Staff was friendly and offer a dish to try. Food was good. I would recommend this place to all“

“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!“

“A Favorite Thai Food Option in the Lake orion Area. Never been disappointed. Customer service is always top notch; friendly staff. Please support this business!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“Best Larb around these parts!“

“Our new favorite sushi spot! Super close & always great quality!“

“I love hot pepper thai!! It’s my go to place when I’m hungry for carry out. Carlos is always so sweet and gets my order right every time. He is very personable when i come in and makes me feel welcomed! The food is always hot and hits the spot every time.“

“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!“

“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!“

“I felt the thai fried rice price was very fair for the portion and our waiter was very nice and I wasn't sure what kind of spice I would have so she gave me some pepper so that if it is not spicy enough I can add that and the restaurant was very very nice and food came in like 5-6 minutes and had take out and the food was so hot that even after an hour or 2 and and it had a soup which was very nice and the food just was sooo yummy in my opinion and this place is a MUST TRY!!!“

“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.“

“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🫡“

“📍 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).“

“Excellent food. Really enjoy their pad“

“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.“

“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.“

“If I could give 10 stars I would! My family and I haven’t been this pleased in a take out order in a very long time and every single one of us LOVED our dishes! I got the Pho with extra rare steak (with an extremely generous portion of steak) I got the crunchy Cornish hen dish for my husband and sons and it was delicious and there were no leftovers at all, it was soo good! Mrs. Ho whom I spoke with over the phone was so polite and took specific detail to order when I asked for extra sauces and sides. We’ll be ordering regularly. Thank for a great dinner!“

“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.“

“Surprisingly good for such a small place. I especially like the hot & sour soup. Seems like every place makes it a little different, some good, others, not so much. Their version is awesome. Also, the pad Thai - very tasty.“

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

“Some people call me BK so when me and my wife drove by this place about a month ago, we decided to give it a shot one day. And today is that one day. I ordered BK Fried Rice and my wife Drunken Noodle, they were both great. Above our expectations! We like especially the fried rice. For sure, BK will be at BK again. 😋👍“

“Great bar area! Staff is friendly and provides excellent service“
