    A truly excellent Thai restaurant with authentic Thai fare like pud/pad thai and larb; also excellent beverages like Thai iced tea (that they make there fresh on the spot). Excellent and prompt service, you order at a counter but they bring out the food to you. Also very expansive/spacious dining area with many seats/chairs and tables. They also have a street food mini restaurant on Peterboro in Detroit's Chinatown. Highly recommended!

    Very first visit ever, absolutely marvelous so much great food. We started with a few appetizers Crispy Rolls 5 pcs Ground chicken mixed with bean thread noodles and onions wrapped in rice paper and deep fried. Served with cucumber garlic sauce. Outstanding Wowed a must try . Spicy Crab Wontons 5 pcs Chili paste cream cheese with crab meat wrapped in wonton skins. Served with sweet & sour sauce. Perfect heat for those who love spicy . Chicken Satay 5 pcs Chicken skewer mixed with a coconut milk curry batter deep fried. Served with peanut sauce and a cucumber sauce. These hit different then any other place OMG so addictive with the Peanut Butter Sauce for dipping . Finally a Big Tom Kha just look at the mega amount of delicious Chicken, only $8 for a quart mega Deal perfect for sharing. Thanks Ms Nora for taking great care of us. Now gotta go back to try dishes other than appetizers. #bangkok96 @bangkok96 #thaifood #chickensatay #crispyrolls #tomkhasoup #spicywontons #thairestaurant #downriverfriendseat

    Pud Thai with chicken to go
    Adrienne A.

    Bangkok 96 has changed their business mode a bit since the pandemic. They were takeout only for a while, but now it's operating more as a counter service restaurant to accommodate those who want to dine in as well as their many takeout customers. I was pleased to find that they still offer a fabulous birthday discount. If you show your ID on your birthday, you can get one entree free with purchase of another entree. We tried the pud Thai and the fried rice. Both were delicious and plentiful. I also ordered a side of peanut sauce and received a generous portion. While this is not the best Thai in the area flavorwise in my opinion, it is very reliable.

    I cooked some homemade pad thai and wanted to compare against one of the local Thai restaurants. Chicken Gang Garee - I ordered the medium and it was spicier than I anticipated. Still great though, a good balance of sweet, savory and spicy. Would get again for sure. Chicken Pud Thai - It's overly sweet, bordering on too sweet. The sourness doesn't seem to come from Tamarind - there was no fruity complexity so they probably use a vinegar base. I ordered the mild but there was no kick at all, definitely need to get a medium for an appropriate spice level. I couldn't taste much if any fish sauce. Most likely it's there, just muted against how sweet the dish was. This isn't the best pad thai around. Bangkok 96 isn't the best Thai food I've had, but it's still quite good. The portions they give are also huge - the two dishes lasted me and my wife almost three meals each.

    During the height of the pandemic, I mainly picked up meals from local restaurants, to support local businesses. As the pandemic stretched beyond a year, I've continued to eat locally but also ventured beyond the nearby suburbs a few times a month. I've always wanted to dine here, when I worked locally, but never found the time during my busy lunch breaks. The restaurant is located on Telegraph, just south of Michigan Ave. The restaurant was not opened for dine in, instead it converted this location to temporarily offer take-out. To maintain safety, orders can be picked up from one of two windows. On a week-end afternoon, the parking lot was filled with vehicles, its owners waiting for their orders to be prepared. The menu is extensive. There is a variety of starters including rolls, soups and salads. As well, noodles, seafood, duck and barbecue courses are available as entrées. I was craving Pad Thai, thin rice noodles with beef, egg, green onions, crushed peanuts, in a fragrant lemon-scented sauce. I loved the overall flavors of the dish but thought the beef was a bit overcooked. I also ordered the curry (half) duck, roast duck with pineapples, tomatoes, and green peppers in a sweet and spicy curry sauce. So delicious but the duck was neither meaty nor plentiful. I was hoping for papaya salad or Thai coconut rice but neither were available (most Thai restaurants in the area do not offer them either). There were a number of cashiers at the time of my visit but I was ignored as I waited patiently at the window.

    So, my wife and I are stuck in Detroit due to the recent IT crisis with the airlines. I have no words. Anyways, we were fortunate to get a hotel room and searched for Asian restaurants in the area to eat for dinner and came across Bangkok 96. The name makes me giggle because of the way restaurants all over Asia name themselves. We walked to the restaurant (10 minute walk) and saw a very simple restaurant. Nothing opulent or fancy. We also noticed that there was no delivery service available. Just carry out or take your carry out orders to their tables inside. You order at the counter and they give you a number and they bring your food in take out containers but you can eat there as well. The environment is organized, not cluttered and clean. It wasn't crowded when we got there around 5:30pm. However as the minutes ticked on by, it was jamming! And we got our food quickly. We ordered the Pad Thai with chicken dish. So good! The right amount of fish sauce and sugar and chicken and noodles. My wife would have liked more bean sprouts. LOL. This is the best Pad Thai I have ever had. Hands down! And judging by the looks and smiles of the people around us, everything there was delicious. I talked with the owner ( sorry, I forget his name) and he was very nice and friendly and thankful for the kind words. Check out this place. You will not be disappointed. Yummy!!!

    Is it halal?

    No, there are vegetarian options though

    Is the Chicken Pud Thai gluten free?

    Yes. Most Thai restaurants use rice noodle for their pad Thai dishes. I haven't found a Thai restaurant that uses gluten noodles for pad Thai yet. I am gf as well and that's always a concern anywhere I eat.

Service was honestly great. I spilled a bit of sauce on my top and the waitress came over promptly with napkins and a water refill. I was VERY excited the wonton soup had chicken dumplings, which never happens (often made from pork). It meant I can actually order it! The noodles on the dumplings were actually silky soft, and the flavors were simple yet comforting. I thought the broth was a little bland but ya know, sometimes you want that. Freshly chopped scallions danced on top. It was a nice, light soup. For my entree, I had cheesy noodles (mild) with fried tofu. This was interesting- I've never had what's essentially Thai Mac and cheese before. For the record, my tastes are more on the savory side of the noodle-verse, and this dish was slightly sweet, with a hint of curry, scrambled eggs, and some broccoli. The creaminess was good and the cheese was sufficiently melty. I just think I personally prefer a more savory noodle dish!

    A disappointing experience…read more Ambiance - Empty restaurant on a Wednesday at dinner time. Uncluttered, but not necessarily super clean or inviting. They were playing these sad and drawn out country music ballands that felt a little bizarre, but no big deal. You can dine in, but it's not table service, other than them bringing your food out initially. Food - Metro Detroit has pretty standard Thai food restaurants across the board so price/flavor/quality/etc is similar at the best of the best all throughout Wayne County. I would consider Bangkok 96, SHINthai, Thai Vylai to be comparables. Unfortunately, La Thai Cuisine was nowhere near them for various reasons. For one, there was less protein (chicken) in the dinner, about half the amount other restaurants would give. The Tom Yum soup was nothing like a Tom Yum I've had anywhere else in and out of state. The color was much darker than I've ever seen and it tasted like they dumped a lot of chili powder in it. Did not finish. The tiny shrimp in it was off too. The worse part though was that the eggplant in the Gang Ped dinner had gone bad. The flesh was dark brown and had a strange texture and bad taste. It had to be noticeable and shouldn't have gone out to a customer. Service - It was clear that the woman working the counter was either new or maybe a relative just filling in for the night. Some basic questions had her disappearing to the back for answers. "Are the chicken wings breaded?", "Do you have wifi?" both got "let me check". (They do not have wifi, btw.) Anyways...I had tried to eat some of that eggplant thinking maybe the color was an exotic eggplant I hadn't tried before.. lol...it wasn't. Before leaving, I took my picked-over plates to the counter to clear my table and let the woman at the counter know that the eggplant had gone bad. She says, "I'll let them know." and disappears to the back. When she came back, she said nothing to me...no apology or offer to make things right, not even "have a nice night!" It was just weird. I was there for just under a hour and maybe two other people came in during that time to pick up orders.

What's worse is this doesn't feel like a one-off mistake. This feels like something they get away with because not everyone checks or leaves a review. If you're going to charge premium prices, you need to deliver what's actually on the menu. Right now, this place isn't doing that.

We ordered multiple dishes to share amongst us. I did ask the server how many dishes they recommended that we order as I wasn't sure of the size. The items are brought out as they are made, so we had food being dropped off to is at random intervals. The only slight issue we experienced was when someone else tried to bring a plate of squid to our table. We let them know that we had not ordered it. They then went and talked to our server, who brought the squid back to our table. We also let them know that we had not ordered that dish. Our server did bring back our order slip and looked it over, and I believe at that point they realized that we really had not ordered that dish and just weren't rejecting it. I am not sure if it had been written wrong, communicated to the kitchen wrong, or what but we did have to state multiple times that we had not ordered it. The rest of our dishes arrived correctly. The crispy chive cakes were great, and the sticky spare ribs were AMAZING. The caramel glaze on the outside of the ribs was so good, and they were tender as well. The outside was super crispy.
