“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!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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 ♥️“

“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.“

“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 !“

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

“Local spot right past the roundabout on 18 1/2 and Vandyke. They have really good pad Thai and other dishes. My all time favorite from them is the coconut soup. Packed with flavor and super creamy. So far the best coconut soup I’ve had from any Thai place.“

“We have been coming here for over five years and we have never had a bad meal! Gang Gai, Tom Kah, Are amongst our favorites!

Thank you for staying open and now that we live an hour and 15 minutes away, we don’t get to come as much, but When we’re in the area, we always stop in just like today 11/26/25“

“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“

“So many wonderful people and events I can't wait for the summer when the weekend Market starts.“

“Sunrise Thai is one of my favorite spots! The pad Thai and crab rangoon are the best around. It is flavorful and always fresh. The restaurant is super clean, quiet, and there’s always a table ready. The staff is nice and the food comes out fast and hot every time. Definitely a go-to!“

“This is our new favorite Thai restaurant. Love the flavors and portion sizes. Very attentive service as well. The first time we went, I thought service was great because we were the only guests in the restaurant. Our second visit during a busier time proved the service level was consistently high!“

“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!“

“Best around town. Our go to Thai.“

“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.“

“My husband and I, along with several friends, have been devoted patrons of this gem for the past eight years, and it remains our favorite Thai restaurant in Michigan. As self-proclaimed Thai food connoisseurs—and having had the privilege of visiting Thailand—we can confidently say this place is a standout.

The dishes are consistently packed with bold, authentic flavors and are always perfectly prepared. Not only is the food absolutely delicious, but the value is truly unmatched. The generous portions and incredible quality make the price point almost too good to be true.

We’ve been ordering from here at least once a week—sometimes twice—for the past seven years, and it never disappoints. The efficiency is remarkable, with most orders ready in about 10 minutes. For those new to the menu, we highly recommend trying the combo options, which include fried rice, a crispy chicken wing, and a flavorful soup alongside your entrée.

This restaurant has become a beloved part of our weekly routine, and it continues to deliver exceptional meals with every visit. Truly, a hidden treasure we can’t recommend enough.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 #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 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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“excellent food. 5 stars!!“

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

“🍽️ Bangkok City, Southfield, MI: 👍👍👍👍

Experience Thai-inspired dishes at Bangkok City in Southfield, where diners enjoy a casual meal, albeit with a few areas for improvement.

FOOD QUALITY👍: We tried the Basil Fried Rice and Panang Curry. The flavors were decent, though the dishes leaned more toward an Americanized version of Thai food rather than authentic Thai cuisine. Nonetheless, the meal was satisfying.

SERVICE👍: The service was efficient and friendly, especially considering the restaurant’s crowd during lunchtime. The staff managed the busy rush well and ensured a pleasant experience.

VALUE for MONEY👍: The price was reasonable for the quantity of food served, making it a good option for those looking for a casual, tasty meal.

AMBIENCE & CLEANLINESS👎: The ambiance was a bit lacking, and cleanliness was not up to expectations. The restaurant felt crowded, and the space could benefit from a more pleasant, well-maintained environment.

LOCATION & ACCESSIBILITY👍: Conveniently located in Southfield, Bangkok City is easily accessible for anyone in the area who wants to enjoy a quick Thai-inspired meal.

In summary, Bangkok City offers a good, casual Thai meal at a reasonable price, with friendly service. However, improvements in ambiance and cleanliness would enhance the overall dining experience. It’s a decent option, but there are areas to improve to make it a more enjoyable spot for diners.“

“Tried Wokabob for the first time today and my mind is blown. This place makes better Thai food than the Thai places. Probably the best Thai fried rice I’ve ever had. Flavor and spice level are on point. The portions are huge. I’ll be eating this for 3 days. We also had the chicken and steak shawarma bowl. Much better than the other places that don’t even make it on the rotisserie. I ordered 2 dinners and 2 egg rolls and the bag I walked out with felt like about 12 pounds. This is going to be my new go-to place for Thai and Mediterranean. Great job Wokabob!!!“

“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!“

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

“I haven't been in this area for several years, but it was on the way back from an appointment, and I thought I'd look it up and there they were.It's changed hands management wise a couple times but the food did not fail.My waitress Zang, was absolutely precious.I have some arthritis in my hands.And they were really stiff, and I asked her if she would help me ladle out the soup & then pack my leftovers up for me. She was so gracious and kind, over& above the call of duty. The fresh shrimp rolls were fabulous.I had forgotten that they had the peanut sauce.I'd been getting them at another restaurant that's on my regular route, that has a sweet clear sauce. So when this came to the table, it threw me. I'm pretty sure when I visited several years ago,it was a lighter brown- it was fabulous! Bless her heart, Zang brought me a side of the clear sauce, too. The tom yum soup was terrific.Loaded with shrimp and shrooms, and you can see it's a good size portion. My bill was $20. You literally cannot beat that with a stick....so be kind to your wait staff and tip good!“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“This is one of our favorite restaurants in Springfield! I appreciate the fact that if something is wrong with the food, they will fix it. My husband is a vegetarian and got the tofu pad Thai, but had some chicken in it and when I called them. They said that they would give us 2 entrées for free. I really appreciate the fact that they’re willing to make it right for their customers. And they made sure to come out and talk to me about it to make sure that I knew what looked like what in the dish. Excellent customer service. I will definitely go back time and time again.“

“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 .“

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