41 Best Thai Restaurants near Southfield

“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!“

“Visited this place several times over the last year and half. Food is good.. not extraordinary. Service is also good. I think where it beats other similar restaurants is their prices. Very competitive. I would go here again as I see it as a place to have lunch meetings.“

“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🫡“

“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.“

“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 😣“

“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“

“Everything and everyone was amazing, can’t wait to go back again“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Thai-Osha -- Where Laughter, Love, and Crab Rangoons Fill Your Soul There are some places that feed more than just your appetite -- they feed your spirit. And Thai-Osha is one of those rare gems. From the moment I stepped inside, I knew I wasn't just walking into another Thai restaurant. I was walking into someone's heart and soul. Someone's home. The space is cozy, welcoming, decorated in beautiful Thai decor, and intimate -- like a little sanctuary where you immediately feel at ease and ready for home cooking. But the real magic? That comes from the owner. Let me tell you about him. He greeted me like an old friend -- with the kind of warmth and joy that you can't fake. So Funny, charming, down-to-earth, and so full of light... he has this way of making you feel like you've known him forever. It's like you're not just a customer -- you're family. The kind of energy he brings is rare. You can feel it in the way he laughs, the way he connects, the way he sees people. His spirit is so vibrant and kind, it honestly feels contagious. I left with a full stomach and full heart and a smile I couldn't wipe off my face. That's the kind of business you want to support -- one that feels built on love. The service? Fast. Friendly. The whole staff radiates the same positive energy as the owner -- everyone just seems genuinely happy to be there, and that joy spills over to the customers. You don't feel like you're just being served -- you feel like you're being welcomed. And don't even get me started on the food. Every dish was an experience. The flavors? Out of this world. Fresh, authentic, deeply comforting -- the kind of food that takes you places and lingers in your memory. The crab rangoons? I'm still dreaming about them. I could have ate them all day. Home Made, Creamy, perfectly made -- I nearly cried. Everything we ordered was beyond amazing, and I have no doubt that anything you choose from that menu will blow you away. But honestly? Even if you didn't come for the food (though you absolutely should), come to meet and talk to him. Come meet the kind, hilarious, big-hearted owner who reminds you that people like him still exist in the world -- people who lead with love, who make strangers feel like friends, and who carry a light that lifts others just by being near them. In a world that feels fast, disconnected, and overstimulated -- Thai-Osha is a breath of fresh air. It's cozy. It's sincere. It's the kind of place you want to keep coming back to. You're truly missing out on something special -- the kind of special that fills both your stomach and your soul. Let's keep celebrating places like this -- the ones that remind us what kindness tastes like.“

“Food was awesome! Very friendly staff. Perfect portions. Very tasty. We ordered a lot of food so we could bring some home as well. Also met with the owner that came out to talk to us. Very friendly young man. Love to see people working so hard for their own success. I definitely recommend Royal Thai Cuisine. We will be regulars here.“

“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“

“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!“

“Best Thai food in the area. Been going for around two decades“

“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 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.“

“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 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!“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“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 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!!!“

“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 ❤️“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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. 😋👍“
