“You like spicey??? THIS is your place to go.
My spouse loves to order extra hot all the time and never breaks a sweat. 5 minute our food he starts sweating. We both were able to clear our sinuses that night. Lol
On a serious note, food was great. Service as well.
Lots of ppl coming in or ordering, so dead give away on how good they are. Yet not too busy.“

“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.“

“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!“

“First time here, small little mom and pop place. Fresh hot food, flavorful, fair priced, friendly and fast service! Clean on the inside, not a huge sit down area but does have enough to cater to a few groups, looks to be more carry out! Ordered crab Rangoon, hot and sour soup, masaman, and curry fried rice, all very flavorful and fresh! Would Recommend and will be back myself!“

“I arrived on an early Friday night. It was busy. I was seated and I didn’t get a menu until 15 minutes later. After I placed my order, it arrived fairly quickly. I ate the Firecracker roll and the Shoyu Ramen.

I personally don’t like sushi but the firecracker was AMAZING. I’m definitely coming back only for this dish.

Shoyu ramen was 1/10. Don’t bother.

The decor is pretty out dated. The place is wheelchair assessable. There is a parking garage right across this restaurant. There are a few parking spots outside but they were taken up at the time of visit.“

“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.“

“Internet is usually a best way to discover something to devour. After surfing for a while, “Tiger Thai Cuisine” was attracted by my eyes, but only brief reviews and photos show in restaurant’s facebook. All in all, Tiger Thai Cuisine is all the answers I am looking for…so let’s chill out here with me.“

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

“Server was attentive and atmosphere was calm and comfortable. Overall, the food was decent but nothing special. They do take extra measures to ensure carry out items actually make it to your home (using cardboard to separate items to avoid spilling) and that is very nice. I got Tom Yum soup, which was good. Red curry dish was also very good. Teriyaki chicken was just okay. The food was very oily. I would come back if I was in the area but would not specifically return to this place otherwise.

Parking: Large lot in strip mall next to Kroger.“

“This place is amazing! It is by far the best Thai food I’ve ever had! The service was very good they are very nice up there. The food came out very fast and it was piping hot. The overall atmosphere is very clean also. 10/10 I recommend and I will be back!“

“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.“

“Went here for lunch carry out for the first time last week. It looks like ALL entrees are $17.95, regardless of what meat you choose. The portion size was decent, tho. Both the hot & sour soup and Pad Thai were exceptional. My only disappointment would be the spice level. I ordered both items medium spicy--and there was absolutely no spice at all! I was bummed, but since I took it home and not back to work, I had plenty of chili crisp to jazz them up. Still, I expect Thai Medium to have a good bit of heat?? Just fyi.“

“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 !“

“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 ♥️“

“Some of the best Thai food I've had in awhile. I got the Gang Kew Warn and it was a large portion for a great price. Absolutely perfect flavoring. My husband got the Pad Se Ew and it was equally delicious, a slightly smaller portion of noodles but the prices here are amazing. Definitely will be back.“

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

“Best Pad Thai curry in the area. Since you all took the April to May hiatus, we have tried two other pad Thai curries from local spots and they were tasteless and watered down with coconut milk. Looking forward to when you all open back up!“

“I went with a friend who considers this place his favorite Thai restaurant. I had the pad Thai curry with chicken, mild because of my GERD, and it was so delicious! The soups are very good, the spring rolls crispy and tasty, and hot, fresh from the fryer!! I look forward to returning, soon!“

“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!“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“absolutely perfect meal. great service. I've been looking for an authentic thai restaurant for years since my favorite place closed. this one replaces it. I would absolutely go back again. everywhere else I have tried lately doesn't seem like scratch food or it's too salty. this one was just right. spicy! Mmmmm“

“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.“

“This is by far one of my top favorite restaurants in the area! The flavor, portion/price, and spice level are all on point. I’ve never been disappointed here, unlike at many of the other nearby restaurants. I usually get the Pad Woonsene and recently tried the Pad Thai Woonsene and both are amazing!“

“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.“

“Absolutely stunning food highly highly recommend“

“Great Food and Service, good selection“

“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.“

“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!“

“Best around town. Our go to Thai.“

“excellent food. 5 stars!!“

“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!“

“I worked in Hazel Park and would pass this place every day so my curiosity was piqued. Hands down it’s one of the best Thai restaurants in the area. Do call and place order before arrival, it takes around 30-40 minutes, the kitchen area is quite small.“

“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.“

“hole in the wall type of thai restaurant. it’s casual, fast, and a great spot for lunch. they don’t play with their spice so if you want authentic thai spice, this is your place. flavors are good. pad thai was a little bit more saucey than usual. the fried rice dishes are fire.“

“Their food was sooo good! I dined in but got food in carry out boxes so I wouldn’t have to pack it after. I didn’t expect Lebanese and Asian to fuse so well together but it did. I was a little overwhelmed when I looked at the menu but they had great service and explained what the menu options were allowing me to make the right choices.

I ordered the Pad Thai with beef and Drunken Noodles with chicken shawarma. They stir fried the veggies for the drunken noodles fresh (they have an open kitchen). The food came out hot and steaming. The drunken noodles were super flavorful with Lebanese spiced chicken, bell pepper veggies, and included a delicious broth. The Pad Thai was tasty too and I was positively surprised how the middle eastern spiced beef paired so well with the noodles.

The restaurant had a cute diner vibe with a unique combo of wall decor to reflect the fusion it was serving. Will have to pho next time! Looked enticing but will have to come back for it.“
