Called ahead. Food was ready . It was delicious. Their Gang Pa Nang has a a certain, almost smoky flavor for lack of a better word. I really like it and have only noticed this taste at a few Thai restaurants read more

I am from the area and moved to Chicago about 4 years ago. I have not been able to find a place that even comes close to comparing to Thai Kitchen in downtown Farmington! Everytime I come home, it is known that my first night in town will consist of about 50 dollars worth of thai takeout from thai kitchen, and 50 bucks will get you a looooong way at this place! Pad Prik is beyond incredible, i often joke that it would be my "last meal" if ever that day shall come when I'm on death row and have a choice of last meal. I don't know what they do to that eggplant, but holy smokes is it delicious! I'm also a fan of the basil fried rice, drunken noodle with scallops, larb, and massaman curry with potatoes. it's sad for me that i haven't been able to find a place in Chicago, but happy that I can look forward to this place everytime I go home for a visit! Who knows? maybe they will open one near my new digs some day. hey, a girl can hope =)right? read more

I don't know about you, but I evaluate the spice level of my Thai food as a function of the BM burn I experience afterwards. This joint was smooth with a fiery ending 4 hours later. Kudos. read more

When I think of this place, I think of one word: consistent. I know it's not the absolute best but it's never terrible. I can count on Thai Kitchen for mediocre to above-average americanized thai food. I frequent this place about once a week. It's one of the better Thai restaurants out of the few choices in Farmington and it's relatively cheap for big portions. I normally get pad thai, pad seew, tom kha, or basil fried rice. Sometimes the pad thai or pad seew has a lot of sauce, which I don't always prefer, but I don't like it dry either. The basil fried rice is delicious and has a ton of vegetables stir-fried in it. It's not to salty and has a good amount of heat, even for mild. So if I am in a pinch and I want some decent Thai food, I have no qualms with going to Thai Kitchen to fulfill my craving. read more

This was my first visit here, I came on other Yelp recommendations, I got the Vegetable pad Thai medium spicy, I don't think I was ready for the Medium yet, I should have got the mild, out side of that, it was good, it's had that tangy sweet but hot flavor. The soup was good too, a huge bonus is the full picture of water they give with your meal, been to other Thai restaurant were this wasn't an option, anyone who eats spicy food can appreciate this, the service was really fast and staff was friendly. The place was clean, but the decor is a bit drab. I'd come back again. read more

See all

I haven't been to many Thai restaurants that I would classify as "bad", but Thai Kitchen fits that description pretty well. They were fairly busy over the lunch hour, between dine in customers and carry out, but they only had one waitress/cashier for the whole restaurant. Considering that, the service wasn't awful, but she had trouble being attentive with so much to do. The main reason I'm giving 2 stars is I found the food underwhelming. The hot and sour soup was tasty, with a good balance of spice and a nice consistency. For the main course, I ordered pad cashew, and I was not impressed. It lacked flavor and the spice level was too high despite ordering mild. I also had some tough pieces of chicken. The restaurant itself is under-finished. The walls are stark white, and the tables are finished simply with white cloths. No atmosphere here, no Thai decor to speak of... On the plus side, prices are pretty reasonable. You can stay well under $10 and the portions are quite large. I suppose if you live nearby and don't have other Thai options, Thai Kitchen would be fine. But with so many other good Thai restaurants around, such as Siam Spicy in Novi, I would drive a bit further to find really flavorful, good Thai food. read more

This is a strange review since I have never eaten here. We walked in to the place at 8:10 pm. We were met at the door by a young woman who abruptly told us that they closed at 9:00. We looked at each other, turned around and walked out. read more

I'm a Pad Thai Junkie. That's right, and I don't plan on reverting, slowing down, or going into recovery any time soon. The sweet, hot, peanutty pow keeps me looking for more. A friend of mine who knows my love for food, brought by a piping hot basket of Chicken Pad Thai one day (sweet friend o mine!) And that was it. Anyhow, after trying out a dozen of shops in my area I found one right under my nose locally. Thai Kitchen in Farmington rocks! The noodles are just a bit chewy, the spice is fresh, and topped with limes and a handful of chopped peanuts. They add plenty of that hot/sweet sauce I like. And a tiny bit of scrambled egg. I also love their spring rolls, actually they have a whole list of apps that are full of meat or cheese or whatever the specialty should be and affordable. A tiny diner run by a family. A bit of Bangkok for the suburbs. read more

I was surprised to see some below average reviews as I have been to this restaurant for years and food was pretty good. So I decided to come back here and had the Pad Thai. Surprisingly, the Pad Thai looks kind of different than what I used to have. The noodles is not dry, and instead it is watery. When I asked the waitress why the noodle looks like these , she told me they are not Thai, they are Mong people working at Thai restaurant . (What!? Is it an excuse to cook the Thai food differently ?) read more

Thai Kitchen - Pad Thai, which is watery - Thai Near Me - Farmington, Michigan

Had Shrimp Drunken Noodles Hot and it lived up to that description - perfect spice level. I enjoyed the raw bean spouts on top, I'd never had that on Drunken Noodles elsewhere. read more

Okay food. I've had much better. I tried the Chicken Pad Thai (medium), it wasn't spicy at all. More like mild. If I order from here again I'll make sure to say more spice than I actually want. The woman on the phone and in the restaurant was nice though. read more

I've never had a bad meal here. I've eaten at many Thai food places, and this is by far the best! One problem with the food is that the amount of spice is not consistent, no matter how much you order. So, I order it mild with extra spice on the side and everything's good that way. And my only real complaint is the service. Usually, I just get my food to go, but on the chance that I do eat in, I always get the same girl who is not very attentive to the needs of the table. It's not horrible service, but I need a little more. :) read more

Great lunch specials. Really flavourful food. Service is quick. They also have bubble tea.

Consistently great food every time we order to go or dine in! I usually get the drunken noodles, basil fried rice, or pad Thai with different levels of spicy and it's always been spot on. My fiancé usually gets a child pad Thai (which usually just means no veggies) and they always get it right. Our go to place for Thai food in the area. read more

My spot for lunch while I'm at work. Probably here once or twice every week. Food is good and doesn't take long for takeout.

This place has gone downhill. All of a sudden the food is not fresh tasting at all. And their spice level is totally off. But what got my goat is that when they made my food super spicy after I ordered it as "no spice," is that they wanted me to bring in my food in order to show them that I had not eaten too much of it first. No future credit, I had to go there immediately, interrupt family dinner time, and take with me their screwed up, super spicey Pad Thai, which they told me HAS to be spicy. I was so insulted, I couldn't believe it. No apology for their mistake. Nothing. I will NOT be back. (btw, they knew that I was a regular customer when they talked to me like this. I had never before returned a dish. Obviously they do not care about their customers one bit) read more

This place used to be great, but I believe at one point a couple years ago they got a new owner, changed the menu a bit, and the quality took a nose dive. Many dishes on the menu are still good, like the Pad Thai, rice and other popular items, but they don't seem as fresh and are heavy on the MSG. I asked a few times if I could order with no MSG, they said no. On the plus side they are quick, cheap and in a good location. So, if you aren't too picky, then this may satisfy you. read more

I drive 20 minutes to get their pad Thai and their fried rice which is the absolute best!!! The customer service is incredible!!! Truly going above and beyond!! read more

Got take out from here. I got the gang gai. It tasted slightly burnt. The other two people were happy with their meals of cashew chicken and veggie curry. read more

Finally.... a Thai restaurant that speaks to my cravings!!! The spring rolls are delicious. The crab cheese is just as good...BUT- the plum sauce needs a little work... I would rather buy my own sauce to dip the appetizers in. It's too thick and yellow. To the management, could you try using the red sweet and sour sauce? I think it'll match your fried appetizers better. My husband favors the Chef special noodle and my favorite is the Pad ped (eggplant with red curry). :) Lunch portions end at 3pm. Meaning, dinner pricing starts at 3pm! If you want to try this place out, try take out at lunch! read more

Stopped in at 8:29 on Monday 2/16. They would not seat us because they were "only doing takeout." Sign said that they were open and their hours said they were open until 9:00. Just moved down the street. Certainly won't be back after the cold reception. read more

I went there years ago after moving to the area and decided to return for lunch. The pad Thai was excellent, the service quick and helpful, and I will definitely be back soon. read more

I stopped in for lunch today. First time in. I was greeted with a smile. I decided to try the Pad Khing. I got it with chicken and medium plus spice. My staple for rating Thai restaurants. I must say that the food here is very good. The portions are large and the amount of spice is just right. The pricing is also in line with other spots. I was not impressed with the decor, but the food is great. Will have to add this spot as a regular. read more

Thai Kitchen - Pad Khing. . Chicken , medium plus. - Thai Near Me - Farmington, Michigan

Having been to Thailand and eaten the local food I have to say that Thai Kitchen gets pretty close. The best Thai food I have ever had in Michigan (and I've had lots!). Medium spicy is just perfect, I always get curry chicken pad thai with extra sprouts, chicken fried rice with sprouts, and voonsen with beef and extra baby corn. YUM! read more

Delicious food!! Great fried tofu and really yummy curry. Chef's special noodles were also very good! Friendly and fast service, to boot. Loved it! read more

Definitely not what it used to be. It used to be more Thai spicy, you kjnow the kind where you order mild and its hot, you order it hot and the waitress just giggles. The spice isnt that spicy, the veggies didnt seem fresh. Not sure what they have done but its not as good as it was back in the day read more

Pretty good so far. I got the vegetable curry entre with medium spice and it was a bit too spicy than expected but still tasted pretty good. And the price was affordable considering i could only eat half of it per meal. read more

A million and half years ago, I went on a date to Thai Kitchen. The actual date was super lame, and sadly, so was the food. Suffice to say, I never had a repeat date with that guy, nor did I have a repeat date with Thai Kitchen. That was until last night, when I decided that this place needed another chance. Forgiveness is a virtue, right? Driving up, this plaza looks absolutely dead, I half expected the place to be closed as I was pulling up. All the businesses are closed except for this one and Bellacino's and the lights for the parking lot were turned off. Like the parking lot, the actual restaurant was empty as well, except for one table with a small family. The menu here is your typical Thai. I opted for the chicken satay, tom yum and the pad voosen to share. Due to my spice wary white, eastern-european belly, I opted for mild plus on everything. The tom yum, with chicken and these beautiful mushrooms, was actually spicy for me. However the liquid to contents ratio was way off and it had tomatoes in it...is it supposed to have tomatoes in it? If yea, ok that's cool, but I hate warm cooked tomatoes so those were promptly removed. The chicken satay was a puzzler. It came out fried! They were like skewered chicken tenders with sauce, accompanied with congealed peanut saucy paste and flavorless cucumber salad. Honestly, this satay, even though it went into my belly, should be an embarrassment to basic Thai cuisine. Luckily, the pad voosen was bordering decent. The noodles were pretty good, but I have a feeling that if they were cooked for a second longer, then they would have been over cooked. The dish does come with plenty of peapods, baby corn, sprouts and egg. Honestly, the food here was somewhat decent, not fantastic, but it did hit the spot for my Thai hankering. Based on food alone, I'm afraid I would have given this place 2 stars, but I'm going to be generous and allow the service to redeem another star. The service was quick and efficient. Our server was nice and attentive from the moment she brought us shrimp chips and a pitcher of water to when she brought the check. Honestly, I'm not sure when I'll return, but if I do, I'm hoping for a meal that will arise more than a "meh" from me. read more

Apparently this isn't the place to hang out on a Friday night because me and my boyfriend and our friends were the only ones in the restaurant at 7 pm. The service is slow and the restaurant is pretty quite. We were given a basket of shrimp chips as a starter. We had the pad thai curry with beef with medium heat and the chicken pad prik in mild heat. My pad thai curry was very saucey which I appreciated but it was definitely spicy and I have a pretty good tolerance for that. The pad prik was also saucey which was satisfying. I believe our friends ordered drunken noodles and a curry in mild heat along with spring rolls. The thai tea was extremely sweet and the food was alright - not something you would go crazy over for a second helping. Portion sizes are a bit small for the price you pay. read more

Not my favorite Thai food place, but the one I went to most often. Really good drunken noodles and pad Thai. Nothing fancy about this place, just decent prices, food, and service. read more

I used to work right down the street from this retaurant and I ate lunch here at least once a week if not more if I could afford it. The pad thai is delicious, and the soup and crackers they give you to start your meal with are very good too. Always good service and you get your food very quickly which makes it a good spot to go for lunch as well. Wish I lived closer because I would be going all the time : ) read more

I was looking for pad thai and didn't feel like driving very far so I reluctantly tried this place and was VERY GLAD I did! Every time I'm there I get the pad thai with vegetables (hot) and am consistently happy with my food. The vegetables are fresh, the sauce is very tasty, and the spice is perfect. Is this "change-your-life thai"? Probably not, but it is good food that is convenient and the service is friendly. read more

I give them 3 starrs because they have the best thai curry in town and great service. Overall it's nice place to enjoy thai cuisine with nice thai music and great atmosphere. read more

This is a solid Thai restaurant in farmington. They even offer Thai tea and bubble tea as well. The pad Thai comes with tofu which is nice for vegetarians. It's a little pricier than you would expect but you get a lot of food and you can feel good about supporting this small local business. read more

Awesome mom and pop, authentic Thai. Friendly service, appeals to any budget, and best of all it's consistently delicious. My husband and I have been coming here for over a year and it never disappoints. We love it! read more

Pad Thai does not get any better than this. As a frequent thai-eater, this place is my favorite. I'm lucky I live so close to it.

Been coming here for over 10 years. I don't even live in the area anymore, but I make the drive for the Gang Garee. My favorite thai place. read more

I only order the pad Thai when I come here. It's good. And the best around. I have to go to Ypsi to find any better. Only draw back is I needs a good cleaning. For a food establishment the tables are beat up. Booths are taped. Dust on anything hanging. I mean thick too. If it wasn't for that. I probably come way more often. Food places must be clean in my opinion. read more

I've been here a few times and I've never been disappointed with the food. I always get chicken and shrimp with my fried rice and they never cheap out like most places would with their meat. I get a lot of quantity of big shrimps in my order. Other places I get 4-5 small shrimps. Also the flavoring is always good! I usually get really spicy and its always made to my liking. So five stars goes to the chef back there chopping it up! Thank you read more

We've only been in once but it was pretty good. We had chicken pad Thai. I've had better but there are no complaints and came as ordered. The bean sprouts seemed a tad raw but we will return. read more
