REVIEWS OF Thai Express IN Michigan

Don Berry

Surprisingly good and it so quaint.

James Machnik

Great food and service

Best thai around

Best Thai food in Livingston County. Prices are fair and quantities good. Variety on spiciness satisfies my taste for ultra hot and my girlfriend who orders mild. Meals could perhaps be a bit more rounded with spring rolls etc. Nearly on par with Bankok Express in Clarkston which I rate as the best in both flavor, price, and quantities, but located at Dixie/M-15 is out of the way for those in the Howell area. If you are looking for Thai and can't make that drive Thai Express is a worthy substitute.

Ian Boyle

Great. Not expensive and really yummy.

Bridgette Roberts

They have great food with lots if gluten free options. I really enjoy eating here. They are quick when you order take out- and the staff is very friendly.

Mark Hocking

This little family owned hole in the wall is absolutely amazing! The drunken noodles were so good! I hate giving them such praise because I don't want it to be so full when I stop in. Come eat here! You won't be let down!

Hailey Ann

This is where I had my first Thai food! Love their Chicken Pud Thai. Great food!

James Wilke

Great Thai food as a carry out location. You can eat here but better for carry out. I love the fresh food and eat here every chance I get. This is truly one of the hidden gems in Brighton. Lovely couple who runs the place. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed.

jim pilinyi

Great food at a great price

Steve Hatherley

Food is always fantastic

Lynne Dykins

Google hours say 3:30 opening time on a Saturday. Sign on door says 4. Please regulate your spice level! Some days medium is mild. Order hot, it's inedible.

Nevada Fielding

Food is always good and fast. Very friendly service.

Julia Davis

Soooooooo good. One thing to note is that if you ask for a dish SUPER HOT, they're gonna listen to you better than most restaurants in my experience.

Dustin Scharrer

great place!

Matt Gauthier

Awesome food but never open, tried 2 times in last couple of weeks a Monday and a Wednesday. I will give it one more try then i will need to find another place

Bill Strutton

Always awesome dishes. Been going here for 15+ years..

jason heard

Mmmmmmm. Fair prices lots of food

Josh Elliott

They got my order wrong, even though I confirmed it twice on the phone then right before I paid. The guy who gave me my food looked like he really didn't care about being there. The quality of the food was subpar, and all of that would have been ok, or not as bad, but the food tasted like crap! Avoid if you like Thai food!

Joe Delisi

The crab rangoon is to die for!

J Williams

Super great food and also gluten free options. Best Thai food in the area.

Brett Clifton

Mark O'Neill

Love their food and recommend to others

Charles Edgecomb

Food was good and service quick

Tina Doran

I want to support local businesses, but I agree with a couple other reviews. I am shocked at the rating of this place. I too ordered Pad Thai and it had a funky smell and very watery. We threw it out, i was afraid to eat it. Number 17 was ok, way better than the Pad Thai. I wonder if there are different cooks. There is no way someone should give this place 5 stars. They were extremely busy the night I ordered, and maybe by rushing they significantly lost quality. I will try them one more time, but if it's the same. I will never eat there again.

Steven Madeja

The last two times I have been very unhappy with the flavor and the spice of my order. Noodles are over done. I use to love this place. Not so much anymore.

Mark M

Great pad thai. Small to go place, only one table. Not open Sunday. Happy to have them in Brighton!

colleen solanick

Worst pad Thai I have ever had!! My husband and I placed a carry out order and when he arrived home there was about a cup and a half of water in our carryout container. We drained all the water but it was still very bad. Wish we had a better experience as we live close to the store.

S Seigle

Great food, fast and friendly service. Priced well $8/10 for a meal you get to eat two days in a row. The carryout containers are great to keep and reuse.

Scott Mulder

Love this place! Very good vegi options and super helpful with menu advice. Extra points for always being happy when you get to the counter!

Christopher Cannaert

I have been going to Thia Express since 2003. I get the same thing every time and it has never let me down, "Broccoli and Brown sauce w. Chicken" The family that runs the place knows many of the customers and knows what they like to eat every time, witch is awesome and amazing. I have tried many different Thai places around the state and by far they are in the top 5 on my list.

Anthony Barbera

Good food

Ben Erridge

Best pad Thai around

William Shaffer Sr.

The very hottest I have ever had. Great taste for sure....

John Everyman

I love this place they make everything Super Fresh and everything always taste on point and completely and utterly divine! Keep it mild or get it molten lava hot! You'll never go wrong getting your food from here eat in or carry out.

Rose Debaene

Every chance I get to come into this place, I'm greeted by smiling faces, and the most delicious aroma of fresh food. I got everyone at my work addicted to their food, and every so often, my boss will pass me some money and say "Hey where did you get those really good noodles from again?" and I make a lunch run! They taste like home, have amazing portions (as I never finish in one sitting) and all around, I love everything I get there. Try #16! It's super good!

Chris Clements

This place is good when they are open. However they are closed randomly for no rhyme or reason. I cant tell you how many times we planned on eating here, but didnt, because they don't answer the phone. Or we will go there only to find locked doors and lights off.

A Google User

Terrible place. Stay away! I called to place a take out order. Was told it was a hour and a. Half wait. Which I was fine with. Went to pick it up and was told it wasn’t ready. 4 people came in and got their orders while I waited. Then someone came in and was told they were early for their pick up but she would do her best to rush it. I then went back to counter and asked about my order and was told she didn’t know if she could get to it!!!!! The food is decent but the service is beyond horrible!!!!!

william Geddis-mcCririe

Great

Ian Stead

Stopped in for lunch between my quotes to do for the day. Very small dining area, but it did the trick. There's open Wi-Fi in the area. The peanut curry was delicious and filled with fresh vegetables. Food came out quickly. Would recommend if you're looking for a quick bite in a no nonsense atmosphere.

Jody Lancia

I've lived in Ann Arbor and Brighton, and I know this place is the best asian restaurant in Brighton. Period. - Overall great flavor, fresh ingredients (i've seen full pineapples and fresh whole veggies brought into the restaurant) - Great sauces and spices (great curry, and spice level) - Best asian restaurant in Brighton, MI. - Each dish prepared FRESH! Have you seen them cook. Amazing. Finally, for people mentioning too much liquid. Have you cooked fresh vegetables in a wok? with spices and sauces? What you are getting is all of the fresh flavors and juices. you don't have to eat them, just enjoy them. Thanks.

Ashley H

So delicious!!! Chicken Coconut curry and veggies !! Always fresh and very friendly service

B Helm Char

Not very good, ordered Chicken Pad Thai and it did not have good flavor, the chicken was horrible and the bean sprouts did not taste fresh. I will not be going back here.

Steven Bejarano

Great food, friendly people, MSG free! Not a family sit down place. Super fresh food!

Matt Bell

Great Thai food, fast and consistent.

Noah Losert

This place is fantastic. The food amazing and the price is remarkably low. I feel like they know our family well, and their service is amazing. One of my favorite restaurants.

Brian Illingworth

JessyMetal

This place is easy to miss because it's so small and hidden away, but I definitely suggest stopping in! I've ordered from here twice now and each time it has been very quick and easy to order over the phone. The wait time was very short, and you get a massive amount of food for a great price! I can't wait to try more items off of their menu. (I suggest the peanut noodles, they're amazing.)

and then the crazy one

Brad Nowlin

Decent food. The portions are a little small for the price. Quick service. I asked for medium spice and it wasn't spicy at all. If you want really good Thai food, check out Thai Cafe in Howell.

connor niedwiecki

So good

A.E. PULICE

#32 with chicken... medium heat...very nice!

Chas Ross

Best Thai food around, and, reasonable prices. A Brighton staple for sure.

Bill Marker

Small place but a must try the food is amazing

Angela Rheaume

Purchased the crab ragoons and the mild pad Thai. Very yummy. I may try Medium spice next time. Restaurant very small and better for carry out than dine in.

Nick Hastings

SANDEEP TATIKONDA

The food really tastes good. It is one of the good thai restaurants in brighton

robert von buskirk

Quaint atmosphere, great food, owner operated, very friendly

Nathan Sten

Good food, good service. Tiny dining room, but that was OK.

Zac Zabolotny

Fantastic Thai food every time. Plenty of vegetarian options, too! The place looks a little run down from the outside, but that does not correlate to the quality of food at all. The kitchen is smaller so only so much can be made at once. The wait is worth it, though. Honestly one of the best food places on/near the main street strip.

Nick Chaplin

I have been eating here for 2 years now weekly, which likely isnt the most frugal choice but the taste and quality is top of the line. Huge portions make another good reason to stop by, but youll hardly need a reason to come back once you try it. Honestly, amazing. If youre reading this stop and go get some, just beware of thai spiciness.

Ray

Always delicious high quality food, many options, and great portions. And awesome service! You owe it to yourself to try it out love this place.

p0fvcw

Best pad ped and potato curry around!

Alex Green

david gazdag

Ted Maciag

Always go back for more.

Larry Fleeman

Thai Express makes the best Asian food I have ever tasted, bar none. A bit more heat than your average Thai place (you can order it to your liking from mild to melt-down) and tons of flavor (not just spicy). If I could give them 6 stars I would. My only regret is that I don't get over there as often as I would like.

Ryan Fisher

The best Thai food and my most favorite place to eat in Michigan. I will always be a customer, great staff and great food. Everytime I visit Brighton I will be eatting there. So great, everyone I've recommended to this place fell in love with the food as well. I just wish they had a place over on the west side of the state.

Karthick Raj

Mitchell Saylon

Food is always good, and quickly done, best kept secret in Thai cuisine, locally....now we need a good Filipino, and Hawaiian place! Aloha and Mabuhay!

Paul Recchia

Go eat here. I love this place, and would often eat here several times a week. Eat there now - you won't be disappointed.

Paul Anguish

Craig M

They have the best Thai food in Michigan! The staff is super nice and friendly. If you don't choose Thai Express, you are missing out

Kim Martin

Love their food here! Best Thai restaurant in Brighton, Michigan ❤

Dan Cheney

Amazing food! Our favorite place to get pad Thai. Great portions and food is fresh. If there was an option for more stars I would have clicked it! Well worth your appetite!

Bradford Bragg

I like it

Thomas Lamb

Average at best - I've had Thai food all throughout the country and had heard this Thai Express was excellent but found it average at best & more expensive than most. Ordered the Pad Thai, Pad Prik & Curry Noodle and found they were all somewhat lacking in flavor and very light on the meat. Pad Prik typically comes with water cashews and there were none. The Pad Thai was ok and the Curry Noodle was average. All had very little meat (we ordered chicken).

V Butler

This place is worth a try. They serve large portions for fair rates. Consistently clean and with fantastic vibes. Highly recommended.

T Deuce

I want to give it 5 stars, because their food is worth 5 stars. The problem I have is they seem to be randomly closed and never have an answering machine set up or anything aside from a sign on the door saying they are closed. I've driven more than a decent distance a several times just to be disappointed

Jeffrey Stoker

Authentic Thia Food.

Trisha Strickland

I've never walked away from this place disappointed. Food is always good, staff is cool.

Kendra Skronek

The number two with scallops is the best!

Joseph Nagy

Very Small but descent!!

Brian Carter

We just discovered this place. Great for carry out. Awesome food!

William

Walked in to have dinner and young man behind the counter was rude and dismissive, tables were empty and dirty, will never return.

James Lundberg

Small take out place with limited seating. Great food at a fair price, worth the wait (if there is one).

Valentin Bosch

Cheekymonkey 109

Best food on the planet

Po Jenky

The food was terrible and I'm truly perplexed at the ratings this place received. Neither dish ordered was made according to their own menu description. The Pad Thai was awful - tasteless, dry, and missing ingredients. We will never go back.

Jennifer G

Awesome! The best in Brighton hands down

Francesca Gandini

Good food, large portions. Medium spicy is fairly spicy, so you may want to go for mild which still has some kick.

Jacqueline A Serylo

Good food, great service.

Kim Oats

Carly Jones

Mary Neaton

Just ... bad. I had to throw take out in the trash, unfortunately. Hope they were just having a bad night.

Jeff Eason

Worst carry out meal ever. I will not be back.

Nick Koivula

Delish!

Kathy Knoebel

Small not much seating better for carryout

Susan R

jonathon septer

Robert paul

The food is great, but if your a first timer try to go when there isnt a long wait. You will not get the real thai express greatness. I go here about twice a week and there is a huge difference when they are very busy in taste.

Dylan Majestic

Best Thai within 30 miles!!! Reasonably priced to boot!!!

L Chandler

I tried their rice at the Iron Chef competition and it is just as good as I remember. I added chicken and vegetables to the curry rice...and they added generous portions of both. It was fresh and prepared to order. I will be back.

Oliver Warne

Always friendly, always fast and convenient. They remember my name and my order and they make me feel very welcome!

Jerry Metcalf

Excellent, best Thai food I've had in a long time.

sam jackson

Inconsistent and unflavored

Tony Pi

Good food.

GREG MURAKAMI

My Family and I had a long day touring the U of M campus and found Thai Express through Trip Advisor. We loved it and will be back again! Very Family friendly and the food was just like what we had in CA.

Kourtney Rykowski

The service is alright, not very friendly. The food was pretty good. The serving size was average to small (dinner). The spice level here is a level higher than other Thai restaurants. They were out of Thai tea ͼ(ݓ_ݓ)ͽ

Eric Hall

Great Pad Thai. Medium Spicy was just right!

John Ridge

Very flavorful chicken pad Thai. Just a word of warning, their mild is others medium spice, nose is still running.

J C

Found a new place to go. Awesome food!!

Amber Dryden

This place is really good. Love love love this Thai food. Don't let the outside looks fool you.

Cesar Emiliano

Slow

Brenda Steinberger-Domienik

Delicious Thai food, dine in or carry out. Perfect comfort winter food. Sometimes there is a bit of wait but it is so worth it!

james knauer

Great pad thi chicken. Good portion.

Spencer Lineberry

I could eat here everyday. I suggest the curry noodles, with pork; medium. It's just the right amount of spice, not too overwhelming, definitely adds to the flavor. I've tried the "hot spice" before and though still amazing, and not enough to cease eating the dish, my nose was running and I started to sweat profusely. I usually carryout for lunch and I work in an office, so it caused a bit of a scene at work, my co-workers thinking I was dying. Still a 5 star experience, and totally worth it, but I stick with the medium spice these days.

Evan Fitzgerald

It's good, when they actually answer the phone to take your order. Be more responsive. We need a new Thai spot in Brighton to compete.

Erika Fisnar

Delicious Thai place near downtown Brighton. Owner is so nice. Food is amazing. Excellent prices.

Paul Meredith

Excellent food! I was pretty hesitant to try the place since it's not appealing looking at all but the food was extremely surprising. Some of the best flavor I've had in Thai food in quite a while. I only took a star away for the appearance of the restaurant but I'll be going back.

Denise Parr

Best Thai food around

Tom Robinson

My favorite Thai food place.

Dale Koven

Awesome food! I love the food here. Pad Prik Beef is delicious! Everything I've ever had is very,very good.

Suzann Hallman

Fresh and delicious ingredients, great food and very friendly service.

Joshua Young

Great food, fast, made to order

Full Metal Beard

Go to Thai Cafe in Howell

Adam Blocki

I stick to 4 or 5 dishes when I come here, but every time they are fantastic. The dishes come with more 'sauce' than any other Thai place I've ever eaten at which gives it a ton of flavor

Erik Rickel

Ordered chicken pad thai and chicken peanut curry noodles and the crab rangoon. All were great. Looking forward to go back.

Jeff Conroy

Enjoyed every bite! The Crab Rangoon and dumplings were amazing!

Eric Major

Great food at a great price. They only have water to drink, so don't come expecting to have a nice, hot cup of tea with your Thai food, or a cold soda.

Rebekah H

Best Thai food in Livingston County

Cindy Kobe

Love the food . Place is small and not real clean looking.

Britton Borlace

The best Tai food place I been to yet!

Trish B

We go to the Thai Express when we need a meal to eat at home. There are several dishes that are our favorites and medium spice is good. It would be lovely if the owners could move to a restaurant so that patrons could sit in comfort. However we are very pleased they opened here several years ago.

Soham Chatterjee

Carlesa Williams

Awesome food...don't let the small facility fool ya.

Jonathan Imber

Excellent!

Shawna Peckens

Favorite Thai place!!!! I ALWAYS order the same thing, and never disappointed!! Drunken chicken noodle, medium, and crab rangoon! Can't wait for lunch today! Thai express is on the menu

Alex Ramon

just spent $10 on Chicken Pad thai for lunch and the portion size alone, doesn't justify the costs. Not to mention, I ordered Medium ++ and it virtually has no spice whatsoever. The Noodles are overcooked and the small amount of chicken it does have is bland. I tried this place about 1.5 years ago and experienced the same...just thought I'd try it again...my bad.

Bruce Carlstrom

Amazing.

Michael Whitbeck

Great value and awesome taste

Kyle Kopczyk

This is the best Thai food around. It is worth a stop. It can get busy at times, so I would suggest calling ahead before going. Otherwise, you could have some time to wait (although in my opinion, it is still worth the wait). Keep up the good work.

marie foguth

Great Food .... Thank You!

Anna Nummy

Mediocre at best. Thai Cafe in Howell is much better.

Michael p. Bibik. sr.

I don't live near Brighton.But when I am in the area I make sure I get the #9. I always ask them to make it HOT HOT HOT! The prices are very reasonable.They keep the prices down by not wasting money on fancy menus,etc. The food is very fresh and tastey.If you like Thai food that's delicious,fresh,at a great price THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU.(and me)

sue rios

The best pad Thai ever. I would drive out of my way for anytime!!

West Neal

Kristy Virgin

Excellent! Would go out of my way for it

tyler ayers

Food was excellent and the girl behind the counter was awesome

Rachel Ply

This is by far the best Thai food ever. The service is astounding. I tried Thai for the first time here and nowhere else can top it. I'll keep coming here weekly!

Bob Fisher

I hate giving a bad review to a small business, but I have to be honest. The food was terrible, flavor was over powering of curry sauce and the chicken was cut up so small, I thought they were chick peas. Their was half a mushroom, maybe 5 small bits of chicken and at least 99% of the dinner was bamboo shoots. I had to throw the whole dinner out. In a couple months, I may try it again just to be fair and order the fried rice only.

Gregory Hill Jr.

I really enjoy the food here. #7 with beef medium spicy or hotter is the way to go! The only small complaint (or compliment depending on your point of view), I wish they would open earlier on Saturdays, be open on Sundays, and stay open later in the evenings to about 10 or 11. Shift I work makes it hard for me to get some great Thai food when I am really wanting it. I have a Thai restaurant about 2 or 3 blocks from where I live.........they suck. I would rather take the 20 minute drive to Brighton to get fantastic tasting food! Keep up the good work!

Chuck McPhail

The Pad Ped is really good. I usually get it with shrimp and scallops, medium heat.

Mark Konas

Loved the pad thai! Medium Spicy is good and spicy.

Floyd Drew

I’m working in Ann Arbor and drove to Brighton to try this place, and I’m so glad that did!!! Very small dining area, most businesses seems to be take-out. I had to wait about a half hour for my food but that’s only because they are so busy with so many to go orders, the woman knew everyone by name as they came in, which shows how much repeat business they have. I would have waited 2 hours for this Pad Thai!!!!! It was so good and a huge portion too. I can’t say enough good about the food here. I will be back for sure!!!!
