50 Best Thai Restaurants near Troy

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 ♥️“

“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.“

“Pudthai Sushi is one of my absolute favorite local spots for both sushi and Thai cuisine. The ingredients are always incredibly fresh and every dish is full of flavor. Whether I’m stopping in for a quick dinner or grabbing takeout, the service is consistently fast, friendly and reliable. The sushi rolls are beautifully prepared and never disappoint. Love their Pad Thai too!! A neighborhood gem that always delivers.“

“I love coming here. Great prices, dine in (and yes they have lunch dine in as well), and delicious food. Amazing customer service, it is always the same lady that is my server, and gives me my take out order.

I am a regular here. I will always recommend doing business here.“

“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“

“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!“

“Absolutely stunning food highly highly recommend“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Family owned small business run by some of the hardest working people you will find. This is easily some of the best Thai Food in SE Michigan, and they have the editorial food critic reviews, and professional awards, to prove it. Humble, kind and amazing humans serving up very high level food.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“excellent food. 5 stars!!“

“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.“

“🍽️ 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!!!“

“My favorite restaurant. Period. Great food. Best sushi. Excellent service and very well priced.“

“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.“

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

“What a gem!! This place is amazing for its food service and everything in between. We were a part of 4 during relatively high foot traffic and got great service. My mom is vegetarian so there was ample choices for her and she really enjoyed her food from Tom yum soup to vegetable tempura, spring rolls and veggie rolls. The presentation was great as well and the servers were very kind. The restrooms were clean. The only thing was that they added the 18% tip to our bill and there was an expectation to add more, which I did not appreciate. I didn’t mind the 18% as the service was good. Definitely recommend and I will be back here again!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I've actually never dined in here, but they have always been so nice when I pick up food to go. And best part I've never had a bad meal. Everything always tastes delicious and they do a good job of adjusting the spice levels to your liking.“

“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!!“

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

“We came in to a surprisingly empty store. However the place was immaculate and the server was super kind!
We ordered for carry out and got our food in minutes.
The food itself was amazing. Flavourful while not being too spicy. According to my boyfriend, the Bangkok Chicken was “the best I’ve ever had”.
The gluten free (& vegetarian) options were very clearly marked, which I very much appreciate.“
