This place is a favorite. We have been going here for about a year. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The owner puts so much thought, time and effort into decorating for every holiday. The origami napkins for different seasons, pillow changes in the booth and different centerpieces[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I'm always excited to see what she does next. The service is wonderful. We were treated great our first visit, but have felt like family ever since. From recommendations to secret sauces or methods for eating dishes how they would in Thailand, Sue is there guide and assist. I look forward to seeing her as much as I do the food. Our food is always excellent and I like to try new things all the time. But we still have favorites. Appetizers. It's hard not to order the fried wontons, my spouse's favorite. We both enjoy the apple or papaya salad. And I'm a sucker for tum yum soup, theirs does not disappoint. Entrees we often enjoy traditionals like Pad See Ewe and Fried Rice. They are staples for a reason. But I've enjoyed trying many of Sue's recommendations. And I love a ground chicken dish she recommended served with lettuce cups and a fried egg. I wish I remembered the name. But it's one of her favorites. She will know! Be sure to ask for the Thai pickled lime and hot peppers condiment (upon request). My newest obsession is their Chicken Satay salad. It's fantastic. So fresh and delicious, not to mention gorgeous. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed. I can't tell you about dessert because we are always too full. But I'm determined to try her mango rice because I'm confident it will be amazing . If you have tried this place, it's worth a visit. You will want to go back again and again. read more

Highly recommended from many different outlets so we give this a try. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Once you walk in, the restaurant has a strong Thai-inspired atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Generous portion of food and very deep flavor from all the dishes. If you have low tolerance on spicy food, even the mild option was quite hot, just fyi. Only complaint is the Singapore noodles, it turned out to be a big clump of noodles on a plate. Probably going to skip the stir fried noodles next time. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Don't let the outside look fool you, the restaurant is very nice inside, beautiful decorations and a comfy atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The rose napkins arrangement on the plates is very cute.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was also super friendly and very accommodating to vegan needs. We tried few different appetizers, some of which were made vegan for us, soups and noodles and everything was very good. The chive pancake is so different from what I'm familiar with, but it was surprisingly tasty. Curry puff with taro was amazing, spring rolls which came with dinner plate very tiny but fresh. I've had a Tom Kar soup with tofu and it had a lot of fresh veggies and plenty of tofu. Delicious flavor. My friend had the Tom Yum with tofu and she enjoyed it too. Pad see-ew was also good with plenty of tofu and veggies. Overall, this was a great meal and I'll definetly be back, especially since they are able to accommodate vegan needs. read more

This is by far our favorite restaurant to eat at. The food is phenomenal, the service is excellent, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambience is so romantic but also family or friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The have a cool waterfall in the restaurant with comfortable booths with pillows.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have an extensive Thai menu and can accommodate gluten allergies. We have ordered most of the menu and love it all! My daughter gets the ramen, we usually get a few appetizers and a rice and noodle dish to split. I recommend trying the rice berry rice instead of white rice if it comes with the meal. It's an Up charge but totally worth it. Their prices are reasonable also, Check them out! 100/10 read more

I decided to dine in at Hug Baan Thai for the first time, since their take out never fails to disappoint! This is at the top of my list for Thai restaurants in Sterling Heights especially since they seem to be one of the only Thai restaurants open on Sundays. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I loved the decor and zen atmosphere here. The wooden booths, art, rose folded napkins, and indoor pond really brought character to the space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only thing was they weren't playing any music, which was unusual for dinning.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Anyway, we ordered the Yellow Curry and Cashew Nut Fried Rice with Crispy Chicken. Our portions were generous and the flavors were rich! I'm excited to come back and try more! read more

My friend and I decided to try Hug Baan Thai last night. We have been in search of the best Thai restaurant in Metro Detroit, and I think we may have found it! [[HIGHLIGHT]]To begin with the atmosphere is very cozy and cute, and the restaurant is very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff was very friendly through the entire visit. I ordered shrimp pad Thai medium, and it was outstanding. The shrimp were huge and plentiful. The spice level was on the hotter side and next time I will order mild plus. My friend ordered the yellow curry and it was also top-notch. We had the spring roll appetizer and I wouldn't say it was the best spring rolls, they were average. The prices were good and the presentation was beautiful. Next time, I'll have to try the fresh rolls. I definitely recommend this place and will be going back. read more

Fantastic food and friendly service! Everything I've tried has been delicious but special love for their gang gai/red curry and their tom kar soup! Look at the size of the shrimp. They are located in a strip mall on 14mile just east of Dequindre. Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 read more

Ordered two brown sauce meals for delivery. The meals arrived hot, which was nice. Great presentation & good spice (lots of red pepper to bring up the heat) all brought down by a watered-down brown sauce that doesn't hold up. The beef meal was lacking in beef. The sauce was actually almost clear. While we will not return, it may be ok for some. read more

A solid 5/5 experience. Everything from the food, the ambiance, the service was great. Food: got chicken skewer, a diced chicken salad, a soup, a diced chicken with egg (M2). Wow. Very flavorful. All cooked to your spice preference. Not overtly salty. Soup was creamy, slightly sweet, and salty and savory all at the same time - a delight for the taste buds. The M2 (see menu) was the highlight. Spicy thin diced chicken in a savory sauce paired with a runny egg. Chicken skewer had a unique thai taste. Service: on point. Quick. Returned quickly for refills. Answered all menu questions. Pleasant individuals. Ambiance: never see a mom pop asian restaurant so well decorated. It is very authentic inside with thai ornaments. Not high end but culturally unique. Would come back for sure. read more

Visited this place for a quick lunch. The service was quick and staff was friendly and helpful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place looked nice and clean with their personal touches.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered Boat Noodle and Khao soi. Both of them were okay, a little too sweel to our taste. They also offered free eggrolls as appetizer. We also ordered the sausages and they were quite tasty. Overall, it was a nice lunch but we had better Thai else where. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is so cutely decorated.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's nice and clean and the service was really nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I tried their new menu item called Khao soi which is a spicy curry soup.

Finally some Thai food with flavor! And a Thai place that is open all weekend and Mondays! Only closed on Wednesdays. Hit this spot because our usual haunts the quality and taste of their food is slipping. Pad Thai tastes like nothing, basil fried rice, one piece of basil, no flavor, etc. The place is very pleasing inside, and the preset the tables with rose napkins, which is a nice touch. The servers were fast and attentive. I loved the fresh rolls! Not every place makes them, and not every place makes them well. They were fantastic here, but the peanut sauce wasn't peanutty enough for me. They gave us spring rolls as well, with plum sauce, both were standard flavors. Hubby absolutely loved his green curry and the humungous pieces of eggplant. I ordered the spicy pad thai which was eh, but I'm excited to try their pad se ew and drunken noodle. I never get pad thai, but it was hubby's bday and he wanted me to get it. Thought I'd be sad to see Sala Thai go, but Hun Baan read more

If you love Thai food this place is the best! [[HIGHLIGHT]]First time coming here and it was amazing![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a mom and pop place, every mom and pop place I've been to has never disappointed me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]When you walk in, it feels like you're in Thailand. The decor and seating brings it out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Starting with Thai tea (always a must). Got the crab Rangoons as an app, packed with flavor and filling. My GF and I got the drunken noodles with crispy chicken. Delicious! Every bite packed with flavor, chicken cooked perfectly. Also tried the Thai beef salad and that was really good too! I will be coming back to try more. I live 3 hrs away and would drive down here to get more of their amazing food. Their service and hospitality was also amazing. After we paid the owner thanked us for coming in and gave us a home cooked Thai meal she made. Said this was for customers coming in today cause she was celebrating 3 years of being open. So if you're ever in the mood for Thai food stop here, you won't regret it I promise! read more

We've dined here on and off for years, but tonight's experience was very disappointing. We ordered M4 Pad Prik and N8 Pad Thai Curry, both priced at $15. Both dishes were bland with only a few small pieces of meat. There was very little sauce or flavor in either meal -- mostly just heat from the spice. Unless there was an issue with the chef tonight, we unfortunately won't be returning. read more

I went back because I forgot how lackluster it was the first time. Just ok. It's edible. The Panang curry was weak and watery. I asked for extra veggies and got a what looked like a whole bell pepper chopped large. The pad thai had no flavor and was not memorable. I'll be sure to remember not to go back. read more

I highly recommend Hug Baan Thai to anyone wanting solid food that is reasonable in cost. Also a huge plus is that the portions are huge! I will keep coming! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Walking in the door, you're overwhelmed with decorations and decor immediately, but greeted with the biggest smiles from the staff and they never falter.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Even the tables had red napkins folded into hearts and roses to head into the month of February - albeit we are still in the beginning of January.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've had many Thai food experiences and I love the spices, the aromas and the food combinations, but honestly, Hug Baan Thai was just like many others. I found the potatoes in the Massaman to be lacking in any flavor. It was just a potato in a curry sauce. A fresh roll appetizer was packed with mostly lettuce and carrots and two smaller shrimp, cut into fours, leaving two ends of the fresh roll with no protein. I was a tad disappointed in two seemingly small details, but 'when the Devil is in the details', it truly does matter. That being said, I would tell someone to give them a try. My opinion may not be the same as theirs and that matters too, but overall I felt it was a little lackluster in the flavor department and would probably choose not to go back. read more

Located in an unassuming little strip mall, this Thai restaurant was a pleasant surprise how fantastic it was. The interior is the right balance between traditional elements and some colorful kitsch. The service was friendly and quick, everything we ordered My friend and I shared the green papaya salad, a dish we had in Thailand, and found theirs comparable, it was so fresh and flavorful. I would go back to order this again. I had the pad see ew, and she had a curry. You are able to pick the chili level, and it can get spicy if you ask for it. We ended with their (seasonal) mango sticky rice, just the right level of sweet. I would definitely return. read more

Honestly soooooo shocked by the crazy high ratings this place has. Came here a couple days ago for carryout and got shrimp pad Thai mild, and crab Rangoons which came to $24. Price for the pad Thai I think was $16-17 which is pretty steep for what I got. The quality of the shrimp were great but the pad Thai had almost absolutely no flavor at all. It wasn't sweet and tangy, salty, sour- literally tasted like boiled brown noodles. Only thing I was able to taste was the peanuts and green onions. I loved how much they gave of the bean sprouts but so confused how this place is rated so high. I was soooooo bummed as that's one of my favorite Thai dishes to get. The crab Rangoons were nothing special either. Interior was cute and the food was served at 500° lol, never have I ever received food that hot before which I liked. Overall wouldn't come back unless I was ordering completely different items but seeing as this was like a 2.5/5 for me I can't imagine they'd make other things better than the most commonly ordered dish. Bummer for sure! read more

If l am not mistaken it used to be called Sala Thai. If you are looking for authentic Thai cuisine this is one of the restaurant to go. The crab Rangoons are great. The Penang curry is top notched.

Hug Baan Thai - Hug Baan Thai in Sterling Heights - Thai Near Me - Sterling Heights, Michigan

The interior here is nice, looks quite authentic, very detailed. We ordered a papaya salad, crab Rangoon, basil Pad Thai with chicken, veggies, medium, another basil pad Thai with chicken and tofu and veggies, Thai hot. $51.94 Our waitress was nice and attentive and efficient. The papaya salad is fishy and has some crab legs in it, it was too fishy for my husband and after a small taste he told me it was all me. They are going to make us a salad that's less fishy and has crushed peanuts on it. The second version wasn't fishy at all, it wasn't bad. I think less fishy and spicier would be a good middle ground for the papaya salad. The crab Rangoon at first looks like the wonton skin would be thick, but it is so nicely packed with cream cheese and a bit of crab, it's worth a go. The pad Thai sauce is a bit sweeter than I am used to, it's still different and decent with the basil. read more

I haven't had a bad meal. Love the lunch specials. Meet my uncle there every few months for lunch and we both enjoy it ( he's 80 on the west side and I'm disabled, or we'd go much more often). Love the curries, Larb, the rangoons are awesome. I have no complaints at all. read more

We were greeted by a lively, decorated atmosphere and friendly staff. We went on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't super busy. All of the food was delicious and fresh. We ordered the Tom Kar Soup w/ shrimp (mild), the American style Papaya Salad (mild+), the Panang curry w/ chicken (mild+), and the Pad Pek Pla Duk (mild). Our milk tea were also on point! I enjoy spice and the mild definitely had a little kick. Next time I will do mild plus on my dishes. If you don't like spice don't get any. I will most definitely be back to try more! read more

Truly one of the best meals I've ever had. If I lived in Detroit I would eat this every single day of my life. Everything is beautifully spiced, extremely fresh, and perfectly cooked.

We visited here last Friday and loved it! Wonderful service and very good food! The attention to detail here really made the experience a step above other places. It was beautiful head to toe inside the restaurant. Probably the most beautiful Thai restaurant in all of metro Detroit. For food we ordered the Crab Rangoons, the Laab "Salad," the Chicken Red Curry and Chicken Pad Thai. The Pad Thai was my absolute favorite. It has that slight tomato? flavor in it and the spice was just right, I loved it! The Red Curry was my second favorite with a luxurious creamy curry sauce and a healthy amount of chicken and veggies. The Crab Rangoons were good, but could have used a little more filling, but still very good as is. The Laab was good but could have used a little more texture for me, it was primarily just deliciously flavored ground meat. I would like to see it served with cold, chilled lettuce (along with the cucumbers it came with) so it could be enjoyed as a salad (as the section it was listed). Overall, great spot! Will definitely come back! read more
