Stopped by here while traveling through and wanted some Thai food. The food was amazing and the medium plus was the perfect amount of heat! The service was great throughout dinner .

Madison D.

Important things to note about about this little spot: the online menu is very outdated and does not reflect current menu options, After 7pm the restaurant only offers carry out, There is an $8 minimum for card. The interior is quaint but can seat a handful of tables. The spring rolls were hot, crunchy & flavorful. The large white rice is rather small, so if you are looking for a lot to share I recommend two. Some items on the paper menu were still not available to order. I had a hard time getting through by phone, so I walked in and ordered. Prices are reasonable and the wait was short.

This is one of my favorite Thai restaurants in the Troy area. It's a pretty small and cozy dining room, but good for smaller groups. I really like their pad Thai here: I appreciate them accommodating my substitution request (broccoli instead of green onions) without charge. It was delicious - the sauce was well-balanced between sweet, salty, and sour flavors. I will say, the lunch portion is pretty small - my friend finished her entree and she almost always has carryout when eating at Thai restaurants. I recommend the dinner portion if you have a good appetite. Another thing we like ordering when we go here is the crab rangoon: last I went, it was 8 for $5.25 which isn't too bad. It's also not super greasy and the filling is creamy and delicious. The accompanying sweet and sour sauce is watery, but goes very well with rangoon, providing some tang to cut through the richness. I've also tried their pad see ew: good "wok hei" ("breath of a wok") and I got their dinner size which is a much better portion than lunch size at only $2.45 more. It was a little on the salty side, but had really good flavor. They provide a generous amount of pork. The noodles themselves were very firm - they could stand to be soaked a bit longer.

This is the typical strip mall, Thai restaurant. The venue is not fancy, but it is indeed clean. The service was prompt and attentive. I ordered the house-style fried rice and it was loaded - I loved it as much as anyone can love fried rice. The red curry with chicken was also excellent. I ordered medium spice level and it matched my expectations. Will I return? Yes.

Ordered a large order for a lunch party. Fawn (phonetic for her name) was so helpful and accommodating. All of our 20+ orders were ready to pick up at 11am as promised labeled with all the correct levels of spice and special requests! The containers kept the contents warm for our 11:30 party. The pad Thai was some of the best I've had in awhile and I ordered a mild one for someone who didn't usually eat Thai food bc of the spice... she was so happy to have a non-spicy delicious entree! Everyone seemed to enjoy their food. Pics of a few items ordered included.

Open until 7:30pm last night. Not sure if they are associated with the one in RO at all or a stand-alone. Same name. 7 tables inside. Ordered crab Rangoon, green apple salad, pad Thai curry with chicken and steamed tofu and added mixed veggies, extra extra hot and a Gang Pak with chicken and steamed tofu and no baby corn, medium spicy. Add-ons are each $1. The shrimp crackers are crunchy and fresh, not stale. I can hear the madness and cooking frenzy coming from the kitchen. It's on. The crab Rangoon looks thin and yummy. They ate thin, however the wonton dough is a bit dense. The cream cheese is yummy, slightly sweet too. The portions here are sizable. My eyes widened seeing how big the plate for the pad Thai curry was. My Gang Pak was also a decent size. The gang pak is good, nice and spicy, well seasoned too. Lots of veggies, chicken and tofu too. They don't skimp out for the add-ons at least. The pad Thai curry was quite spicy, which was good for my husband. It was very spicy to me, but more than that it was piping hot too. The service was good. Food was good.

Had lunch at Penn's Thai Cafe today because it's been a while since our last visit. We arrived right at opening time of noon on Saturdays and were told to sit anywhere since no one else was there yet. Our server brought a basket with crispy Shrimp Chips to munch and menus. Once we placed our orders, our server brought us each a cup of Hot and Sour Soup that was all that. My wife ordered Shrimp Pad See Ew mild and I ordered Shrimp Pad Ped medium. We also ordered Thai Iced Coffee and our friend shared his Spring Rolls. The food was great as always and the spice levels were rright on and exactly how we ordered them. The Iced Coffees were refreshing and flavorful and went well with everything. We had a great time, delicious food, and friendly service. I definitely stand by my previous rating.

Jason X.

Mix of highs and lows but overall great Thai food for a small city like my hometown! The Pad Ped curry was delicious, and I'll be trying more curries for sure. The Pad Pek and Pad See Ew were both way too salty. The Pad Pek veggies felt basic in terms of how they were cooked - not a ton of flavor. The Pad See Ew noodles were too al dente. The white rice was solid but you aren't coming here for that. Mild is pretty much not spicy at all so don't be afraid of that or higher. The service was pleasant but a little understaffed for the dinner rush. I'll be back.

Best fried rice I've ever had in any Asian place

Peter Y.

Great Thai place in Troy. Friend and I ordered the pad Thai and the red curry. Both were great, but what was most impressive was their house special fried rice. The bbq pork meat that's kinda like the Chinese style bbq pork in it was just to die for. It was a big plate they gave us, but I almost finished my plate since I couldn't stop eating it. Wasn't too salty or sweet, the texture was just done right. Felt like every since piece of rice had lots of flavor! Friend who knows Asian food well also agreed it was the best fried rice she had tasted. Lady who served us was super nice, and kept checking on us to see if we were ok. The shrimp chips (like Korean shrimp chips), were a good appetizer. I liked how they put the peanuts separately from the pad Thai which was sweet and sour, in case you wanted more or less. The chicken in the pad Thai was tender and juicy. The shrimp in the curry we ordered was done perfectly and very juicy, and wasn't an overpowering curry. I might get it the spiciest level next time though. Pleasantly surprised by this place when we were about to get spicy Korean food on a freezing Michigan weather day.

Open ish kitchen for the hipster foodies.

Covid Theater has made the spartan Penn's (Penn's?) even more bare. The church basement decor might put some off but you can't eat in anyway so who cares. I Yelped Thai food while driving and decided to give it a try. Good if not basic fare. The veg in my dish looked like frozen peas and carrots. Tastes were good. Medium spice was pretty medium. Crab Rangoon was very good as even my health conscious wife scarfed down the deep fried pockets. Plenty of meat in the Thai Fried Rice. Lots of Thai places in that part of Troy but it seemed to have it's following based on the foot traffic. Penn Thai a good buy if you drive by give it a try

This was the first Thai restaurant I visited in Michigan. At first we weren't sure how the food would be because it was empty, pretty small dining area, no bathrooms, and we had a hard time finding the spot (the pin on the map isn't the exact location). As soon as we started eating our opinion changed instantly. We started with the Tom Yom soup which I absolutely loved! The spring rolls were nothing too special, wouldn't really recommend them. For dinner we had the Mixed Rice (with sausage and beef) and the Green Curry. Both of the entrees blew our minds, they were super tasty, full of flavor and the service was quick. Isn't the fanciest place inside, but the staff is super friendly and it's definitely a cute joint to grab take out from or even for a casual lunch/dinner. read more

When I visited Michigan, I decided to eat at Penn's Thai Cafe (I'm from Hollywood, CA and Thai town is just a block away so I KNOW Thai food, and I know GOOD Thai food). I can definitely say that Penn's Thai Cafe has an amazingly rich and authentic Thai menu. I don't think I can find anything negative to say about this restaurant. The owner's etiquette was superb and are always extremely friendly. It feels like home, the food is fresh, tasty, and there is nothing disappointing about this place! The restaurant is extremely clean and I love the ambiance. I have so many good things to say about Penn's Thai Cafe I don't know if it will all fit here and I wouldn't want to bore you! So take my advice and check this place out, you won't be disappointed. read more

So, if there is one upside to this place (as any place), yes, the food is kinda oily. But it's no worse for you than mashed potatoes that has 2 sticks of butter which isn't as visible. The food tastes so good, it's at a great price, and the staff is generally pretty nice. The portions make it a bang for your buck and their food is pretty diverse if you usually get more than the usual pad thai. If you're sketchy about the place, I wouldn't knock it til you try it. This will probably be my new regular thai place to go to. read more

This has to be the best Thai place in metro Detroit. I always come here when I want delicious Thai food. Its a little mom and pop shop with about seating for 20 if that. But out of that tiny kitchen come the most delicious Thai food. They also have the best Crab Rangoon I have ever eaten. Their prices are also very fair. They only have one waitress but service is always very quick. I have never had a bad experience here I eat here any where between 2-4 times a month. This will always be a winner place in my book.

I do not often eat thai but penn is fantastic! Pad almond with shrimp was terriffic. And the pineapple fried rice is definatley recommended. If you like spicy but are not ballsy enough to go all out... Mild is okay but not much kick. Medium is perfect because it gives you a good zing but doesnt over do it and get your nose running.

Feeling hungry and decided to go Thai today. Decided on Penns due to its star ratings. This was in the afternoon and as I entered , the place was empty. Oh oh! I thought not a good sign but decided to go ahead and try. I was pleasantly surprised how tasty the food was! Price not bad either. My favorite Thai place is in Ferndale but this would be a close second due to it being close to me!

They used fresh rice noodles and sautéed it properly to give it the "wok hei" (wok-seared flavor). The gravy was deep and flavorful and the portion size was very good. If everything else was as good as my entree, I'd give this restaurant 5 stars. Unfortunately, my mom's Kao mun gai (steamed chicken with rice and "special sauce") was awful. She asked if the dish had any spice because she can't do spicy, and the server said no, so she decided she'd try it. The chicken was way overcooked and dry, with no flavor at all. The sauce, the only thing providing flavor and moisture, was spicy so that she couldn't eat it. We asked if there was any sauce she could get instead that wasn't spicy, and they said no, but they can give us a bottle of soy sauce. So my mom used some of that, and also took some of my rad na gravy. But because the chicken was so dry and bland, it was beyond saving. My dad got the Thai basil fried rice, mild spice. It was definitely hotter than other Thai restaurants' mild, and my dad said the spice overwhelmed the other flavors. I tried some of it and it was not bad, but nothing remarkable. They told us that traditionally, it's served with the rice on the side, which was strange to me because then it's not fried rice - it's sautéed meat and veggies with rice on the side. I am curious about how some of the other dishes taste here, but it's a shame that 3/4 of the things we ordered were mediocre to downright bad. While I enjoyed my entree, I felt bad my parents didn't enjoy their food.

The decor here is modern as contemporary music plays in the background. I ordered a spring roll appetizer as well as vegetable curry with red coconut curry sauce.

The vegetable curry was outstanding with fresh vegetables, and a perfect tasting curry sauce. The entrée size was generous and I took about half of it home with me. The service was quick and attentive, and the server kept my water glass filled. I'm surprised this restaurant doesn't have a higher rating because it's outstanding. I would highly recommend it.

I love this place, the staff is always so friendly and have often popped out with my take out to my car. I've come too early before and they've offered to let me sit in my car and they'd bring it out to me when I'm ready. That's service! The food is always fresh and flavorful. We love the pad Thai with tofu for the kids and we go back and forth with curries and noodle dishes ourselves. Spice level here is standard and you can get it on the side if you're so inclined which is nice to amp it up on your own terms. Crab rangoons are still the best here with the green onion really perking up the cream cheese inside. Can't go wrong with any of the dishes. The community know about this place now so wait times are a little closer to 25-30 min during peak dinner times so plan accordingly for take out.

Ordered appetizer sampler, and tom yum soup, pad Thai, chicken and steamed tofu and veggies, extra hot, Thai basil with chicken and added mushrooms, medium spicy. $58.10 The chicken dumpling and the crab wonton are all cold, what in the world! The second try of the chicken dumplings were warmer and not bad. The crab cheese wonton is so-so, the cheese is not cream cheesy as expected, not sure if there is something else in there. Hardly any crab at all. The plum sauce is like a syrup, runny and super sticky and oh so messy. The Thai sauce and the basil sauce are both quite sweet too. The pad basil is good, good heat, lots of green peppers and carrots. The chicken is overcooked, it's a good thing it's swimming in sauce then. The tom yum soup was good, quite spicy for medium spice. Service is very good here, super warm, friendly and really want to give you a good experience.

If one person has a food allergy or dietary restriction, that would limit what everyone can get since there is only one pot in the middle of the table to cook everything. I also felt like the price was a bit high for what I ate. That being said, I think this would be a nice spot for families or friends. It's a cool concept, and I don't think there's another place like this in the area.

Not sure how this place has such good reviews, we just had lunch and both orders were just bad. No flavor, rice was weird texture. Crab rangoon was ok but Fried rice wasn't. Secretary got some crazy dish she usually gets from thai places and she said her's was terrible also. I normally don't bother with reviews, but had to for this absolute waste of money. read more
