Good Thai food is difficult to come by. However, this restaurant delivers. After being disappointed by so many other Thai restaurants. I finally tried Thai 101 and I'm hooked. My partner and I often meet there for a midday lunch or I'm asking them to bring it home for dinner. The service is quick, the restaurant is clean and the woman who works at the front is sweetest. read more

Best Thai in Detroit! Must go and try. Great service, very clean, always fresh and hot

I'm starving. I've been on Woodward a thousand times. It's never looked so unappetizing. The restaurants... so blah! In the distance, Sy Thai calls out. But alas, who wants to park in downtown Birmingham on a cold, rainy night? My back aches... my stomach growls... but my eyes see something in the distance... Thai 101? What's that? A new carry out restaurant in Royal Oak? Is this the answer? Massaman curry with fresh chunks of potato, giant pieces of beef, peanuts galore, copious onions, all served medium spicy with a side of rice? Yes, this is just what I was hoping for. read more

delicious and fast! best peanut sauce and noodles, very large portions and a reasonable price!

Our previous favorite Thai restaurant, Siam Spicy, is now gone. Saw this one pop up and thought we would give it a try for carryout. Online ordering was easy and straightforward. Left right after I place my order and it was sitting on the counter when I arrived 15 minutes later. Staff was friendly. Food was great! Wonderfully crisp spring roll and our fried rice was perfect. In my experience spice level is not so predictable at any Thai restaurant. We ordered mild and it was, IMO, mild+. This will be our go to Thai take out going forward. Anxious to try other things on their menu. read more

The food is ok. Not any better. Some dishes are really good, others, such as the fried rice dishes are not so great.

Hole in the wall spot is the best thai food in all of metro Detroit. Highly recommend for authenticity and quick service.

Large portions and very friendly service. Mostly a carry out spot but they have bar stools and simple seating.

Placed a large to-go order here for a party with friends. We got multiple dishes, including the pad see-ew, pad pik, drunken noodles, fried rice, and more, all with varying spice levels. All the food was great and it was definitely some some of the best Thai food I've had in the area. The wait time was very reasonable considering the larger order size. I recommend giving this place a try, it's my new go-to for Thai food! read more

I was in town visiting a friend and we decided to give this new place a try. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. We did not call ahead but sat there and chatted. There is a small bar where you can sit and eat. The pad Thai was excellent as well as the soup my companion ordered. I ate this over 3 meals! By far the best pad Thai I've had in the area. Will definitely go again! read more

Food was amazing. My partner and I had the drunken noodle, one with beef, the other with chicken. Both turned out really delicious.

We gave this place a try because our local go to Thai place was closed for a holiday. Ordered Pad Thai, pad Thai curry and the red curry chicken. All three dishes were soupy and lacked flavor. Not impressed- would try elsewhere. read more

Writing this as I'm eating in the restaurant. Ordered crab cheese and drunken noodle with beef. Food is delicious. The crab cheese is so good, extra creamy cream cheese with a thick tangy sauce and perfectly fried. The drunken noodle is super saucy and very good. I was supposed to stop eating and save some for later but I keep taking more bites as I write this lol. The lady working the register is so kind and attentive. I spoke with her and she says a lot of people still don't know they are here so please support them give them a try! The food really was delicious and I know we all are always looking for our regular thai spot! read more

The food was outstanding!!! The place is so tiny and cozy with a single bar to dine in! I had been dreaming about the spicy peanut noodles for weeks so I had to come back ! The wonderful lady at the front desk is so nice and made sure we were okay when dinned in the first time! I Absolutely love Thai 101! read more

Thai 101 is located in a small unassuming storefront off Woodward near 14 mile. The first thing that hits you upon walking in is that it smells fantastic. (A good first sign....) The owner was behind the counter and she was both engaging and helpful. When we ordered the spice level at "medium"- she cautioned that their version of medium was, in fact quite hot. This was the second "good sign" as authentic Thai can be quite spicy. We ordered the Pad Thai with chicken, the drunken noodles with chicken and the crispy tofu. We were not disappointed! Both dishes were very generous in size and had equally generous portions of protein. The vegetables were super fresh and cooked to be tender, but still with a snap. The pad Thai sauce was sticky, sweet and flavorful. The drunken noodle sauce was rich, thick and savory and had just the right amount of Thai basil. So, bottom line - next time you have a hankering for some really solid Thai food - try Thai 101. read more

Great service and best Thai food around ! I definitely recommend it to everyone. Clean restaurant with great prices 10/10

We ordered for take out. Pad Thai, Thai Basil fried rice and green curry. I have had my fare share of bad food, but this take the cream and the cherry. This is so bad, it made me come out of my hiatus from writing reviews. Where do I start. The chicken pad Thai. Well I would call it a Frozen chicken with yellow water and sprinkled with some expired fish sauce smell. The smell was so bad we had to throw it away without even tasting. Next up the so called famous Thai Basil fried rice. Thai Basil was no where to be found. Chicken was well it tasted like it was thawed out and sitting on the counter for couple of days. Rice was extremely salty. And who on earth puts large chunks of green bell peppers in fried rice!!! Finally the Green curry. Where is the rich thick coconut broth ? Did it disappear? Instead what we had was water mixed with store bought green curry paste off the can. Complete disappointment. And above all for these three dishes we got charged with $55. If you have the lowest expectation on what thai food look, taste and smell like you are welcome to try this place. I'm really curious why others on this forum not just like love the place. Just pure disappointment read more

My boyfriend and I got the pad Thai and requested it to be mild. We took one bite and our mouths were instantly on fire because of how spicy the food was. Our friends also requested mild and were given extremely spicy food. Our tummies are very upset now. The food would have been better if we could have actually enjoyed it. Will maybe return... read more

Really disappointing food! Spring rolls were thick and the sauce seemed like pure honey. Soup was too salty. Both stir fry entrees were horrible with mostly big chunks of green pepper, omitting other vegetables. The tofu was in big chunks and had a bad texture. On top of this, they charge a "convenience fee" that's not disclosed until your order is done. Plus it's as expensive as nice full-sevice Thai. AVOID!!!!! read more

I think the name is fitting, as they do the basics right! As a Thai American, I am very picky about Thai food. I have been three times thus far, and each time the food is consistently delicious! The pad thai tastes like what I eat in Bangkok. The fried rice tastes like the canteen at my old school in Bangkok. This is my new weekly rotation! read more

amazing food. always hot and big portions, the lady upfront is soo nice, excellent customer service. i had the drunken noodle and have had the curry fried rice. absolutely delectable. read more

Generous portion. Pad Thai was below average. No flavor, just super sweet with chili flakes added. Could have used more acidity, umami. Noodles were mushy and were way over sauced. Crab Rangoons were average, plum sauce was waaaay too sweet. Super user friendly website and pick up was easy and on time. read more

Great food, consistent quality and time. Sweet and friendly service also! My go-to Thai spot
