Both their Pad Thai and Curry Pad Thai are awesome! We've tried a number of Thai restaurants in the area and this is by far our favorite. Their food is first rate and the portions are big enough to feed 2 or 3 people. A word of warning - Their "mild" is pretty spicy. If you normally order hot, you won't be disappointed with their "medium". read more

Pad Thai with chicken was good and large dinner portion. Spring rolls, and soup Tom Yum also good.

Food portions are large. Always a good two meals. Food is very spicy. So order 1 level below what you'd normally get. Always consistent. Carry out only. I order from here regularly. Love it. read more

My pictures were removed? Here they are again. One is the dish as served, and the other is the bottom of the dish after I flipped it into the to-go box. In hindsight, nothing about this qualifies as a genuine attempt at medium--more like deliberately punitive. read more

Thai Legend - "Medium" or "Malicious"?! - Thai Near Me - Waterford Township, Michigan

My wife and I have been eating here since before covid. The food has always been good. The wifey always gets tofu Pad Thai and is happy with it. I have had just about everything on the menu minus the soups. They've all been good, big portions. I'm not a fan of egg rolls, so I can't speak to that. Great value for the money. Custom orders have always been correct with whatever extra peanuts and no onions my wife gets. I would recommend. 5 stars comparing to other take outs joints. read more

WATCH OUT - PRICES ARE VERY DIFFERENT. I looked for reviews, and this definitely was our first choice. I pulled up the menu from their Facebook page, which was the only place I could find this information. I assume this restaurant controls its own page- and the menu is the background and one of the photos- This includes very clear prices. https://www.facebook.com/p/Thai-legend-100079527492102/ The other website on their FB page goes nowhere So we placed our order, I grabbed some cash with plenty for a tip and headed over. My order should be at most $24, and there was room for the tip. My bill was $42, and I asked why as I thought my order must have been mixed with someone else's- The meals were listed as $9 - I ordered pork Pad Thai and Vegetable Pineapple Fried rice dinner size- Now $14 - The Egg roll listed as $1 was $3. When I asked about the price difference, the gal in the back said," Oh, we should update the website to the new menu. " I would have given this a 5, but I don't appreciate double the price. read more

The chicken had a very strange flavor to it in my pad Thai. Other than that flavor was pretty good.

Delicious, large portions, and quick! Food is on spicier scale. I normally order extra hot at Thai places but get a medium plus here. Take-out only but food is always hot when I pick it up. read more

the people were polite however food was not good got a Bowl of Gai tom Ka with chicken Maybe had an 1/16 th of a cup of chicken in it chopped up smaller that a pea Not enough coconut cream and the broth Was watered down if I did not get carry out I would have sent it back to the kitchen They were out of Nam va and rice wrapped in banana leaves I will not be back read more

Food was fresh and service prompt. Pad Thai and sweet and sour chicken. Located in a small strip mall a must try!

Freaking delicious but also not consistent. I will say that we ordered all of our food without any heat (aka spice) because I read the reviews.. and one dish still had heat (was definitely a 3 or 4 on a spicy level of 5)! Pad Thai is one of the best I've had. Thai curry was a new dish for me to try (the one that had the heat that should have had none cause it was the only dish for the kids....not happy about that) and was good. Also had massaman curry and the potatoes were both under and over cooked (how does that even happen??): too soft and falling apart on the out side while the inside was hard. Would I try this again? Yes, but the owner/cook should take heed to the reviews that others have posted if they want to continue to be successful in Waterford (where diversity in food slowly grows). read more

A nice Thai food restaurant that is owned and operated by a very nice family. They add a lot of spice, which I enjoy, so be mindful of that. Very delicious! read more

Pros: tasty, large portions, seems authentic, and not that expensive. Cons: The guy who takes the orders is very curt and possibly even on the rude/impatient side, for no apparent reason. Also, more importantly, the food is HOTTER THAN HADES. Seriously, we ordered mild curry pad Thai and mild massaman curry. What we got would be "medium+" or even "hot" at any other restaurant. Next time we will order "no spice" -- but it may be a very long while before we go back since the high spice level was simply more than a bit off-putting. See pictures of the massaman curry (attached to this review) and you might START to get an idea of how hot this food is.... and we ordered this as MILD. At no other restaurant in the world is this level of spice "mild." read more

A strong 4.5 stars for the Legend. It's the best Thai food I e had in the area. I've tried a bunch of them. The first time I ordered I kinda took offense when I ordered hot and the person taking the order said have you ever had Thai legend hot before? I said no, but I like it spicy. Ive ordered Medium+ since. Lol. read more

The beauty of this woman's cooking I've had Thai food across the country From fancy swanky joints To your local mom pop First review I've ever written for anyone Simply This woman cooks for you all as if you were her distinguished family and guests She honors her client with the best representation of her skill with love Hence she should be honored as well Thank you for a wonderful meal ma'am read more

Best Curry Pad Thai around. Love this place. Every time we are in the area my wife and I crave this place.

I love spicy food and typically order "medium plus" at Thai places. Order taker noted that their medium is on the hot side. Never did I imagine that it would be inedible due to the heat level. How about you folks just abide by commonly know heat level terminology? Anyway, I could only eat about 1/6th of the generous portion as the super duper extra hot spice level forced me to stop. Which really sūcks because it tasted good. However, four serious sits on the toilet in the past 18 hours (the first with spicy burning rectum) is keeping me tethered to the house. It's legendary all right. Now I have to dump the leftovers in the trash. Such a shame. read more

The best in the Oakland County Thai world , hands down even though it is take out only it rivals many sit down establishments. Pro tip , Medium is the equivalent of extremely hot anywhere else . Cheers !!! read more

Really really good food, great portions and VERY spicy (which I love - I get extra hot and can only manage small portions each day so one lunch lasts me a week lol). Lose one star bc I totally agree with some other reviewers - the guy who takes the orders needs some lessons in customer service. Is typically pretty curt, borders on rude. But definitely our go-to for thai food in Waterford! read more

Pad thai is my favorite and it's not too oily like some other places! Great family owned spot. Prices are amazing for the portions!

I love their pad Thai so much it does have a kick for mild but it's really good, they didn't answer the phone though when I called to order so I had to just go in and order and wait but other than that it was amazing . Service was super amazing he brought it out to my car for me! read more

Our favorite Thai place...but when they tell you their mild is like other places hot, believe it. Everything I have ever order has been fantastic with a generous enough portion for several meals. They also have an assortment of Chinese dishes as well but never ordered those. Place is carry out only. read more

I am surprised to see a bunch of bad reviews . I ordered a dish and was worried about the spice due to all the comments but it was totally fine . I got mild snd I feel it is . I was going to get mild + but was afraid due to all the reviews, but will definitely get it next time. I got the pad Thai curry with chicken snd got a tonnnn of chicken and big pieces too. This is the first rime ordering snd I'm happy! Also got two spring rolls with my meal which was great! The lady on the phone was a bit short but who cares ? The food is good and you get a lot for your money. read more

Thai Legend - Thai Near Me - Waterford Township, Michigan

Kind of tucked away nestled in next to a gun shop, but don't let that fool you. Super weird menu with chinese, thai, and sushi, but don't let that fool you either. Order carry out and the gentleman tells you to please hold and then in the same breath asks for you order, but don't let that fool you. Long story short, a little eccentric but everything I've had on the menu was great and served quickly and they've never messed up a take out order. Super nice people too. read more

I drive all the way from Britton to come here. That's an hour and 10 minutes people. Try their Peanut curry Green curry Pad see ew Curry pad Thai Tom kum gai SO GOOD MY MOUTH IS WATERING RIGHT NOW read more

I love this place! I wish they were open on Sundays tho. Will def be going back soon!

For affordable Thai food, you come to this place. Ordered Pad Kee Mao. Asked for mild but was cooked spicy a notch. The taste was ok. 3 out of 5. Big serving. Lots of meat and veges but not enough noodles. An order is good for 2-3 person. Less than $10 an entree. Extra meat $1, shrimp $2 Per entree comes with a cup of soup (egg drop or hot and sour) and vegetable roll. It's not written on the menu. I've learned about the extra sides from Yelp reviews. For the 2nd entree, we ordered mild Beef Green Curry I couldn't say how good it taste, the spice is overpowering. The Thai ice tea is sweet the way I like it. Service is too casual. No uniforms. Hardly see washing hands after closing a check, then serving food. The 2 seater dining table is also used as prep table. Not a good sight to see. Most tables are good for four diners. It's awkward to dine in and have a conversation, since there's no background music in the restaurant. 1 Unisex restroom. Clean and roomy. Complimentary fortune cookie per guest. read more

I was recommended this place by a dear friend and oh my, she was NOT kidding about the spice levels! I consider myself a very well (local) traveled Thai foodie, but this place is by far the spiciest I have ever had, but also some of the best! I had mild Pad Kee Mao with chicken - omg it was so incredible. I am definitely hooked. The service was a little mediocre as it is a family business and the son who was the waiter had a little of that teenager vibe (if you know what I mean). At first he seemed a little annoyed I was there and wasn't very helpful but he tried. I ordered a soup and an entre and he didn't tell me that the meal came with another soup choice and a egg roll. The owner (I'm guessing the mother) did come out and make sure I understood that it was an extra charge. She was a joy and explained to everyone how spicy everything is in great detail to many other guests. It's basically one of the best little mom n pop Thai shops around - very small place with huge flavor and seriously large portions and low prices. I am a big fan! read more

Ordered soups and pad Thai for carryout on a Friday night. Love that they give a free spring roll with purchase of entree! Food was good, lots of it! 1 meal goes a long ways to feed 2 people. Soups were somewhat lacking, could be more flavorful. Take out was not ready at expected time. The menu prices listed on here are not accurate. Their menu has fewer choices than other local restaurants, but they also have a few Chinese dishes. Since this is closer to my house, and easier to get in and out of, I will be coming here more often! read more

Thai Legend! I finally had the infamous Thai Legend my friends all talked about! And I must say, I was quite impressed! HEED THE SPICE WARNING! I honestly can say, I have a great spice tolerance and usually do a Thai medium plus at majority of places. My friends told me to get medium and if I wanted more spice, I could get more on the side. Nope, medium was honestly a lot for me to handle. I would 1000% do a mild next time. Please, if this is your first time trying Thai Legend, be conscious of the spice level. The food is amazing already and you wouldn't want the amazingness to be ruined by a too high of a spice level for yourself. The food was incredible and the portion sizes are large enough for multiple servings! I will be coming back, without a doubt! read more

Excellent value for the money. The food was amazing Warning on the spicy. It can be really a hot mild. I would split a meal with someone as it is a bunch of food. Will be back for sure . read more

Ordered a F1 , had no taste. I use to eat here all the time in 2020. Decided to stop by and was disappointed. I will not go here again.

This is the best Thai restaurant in Oakland County in my opinion. The Pineapple fried rice and Pad Tai are my favorites. They had a Waterford location that closed so I was happy I could still get my Thai fix because I lived close to the closed restaurant. The waitresses and owner is very friendly and professional. The place is always clean with prompt service. read more

Ordered chicken green curry (mild) and curry pad thai (mild plus). SO good. The amount of curry pad thai was insane. Biggest portion ever. I prefer medium, but got the mild because I was sharing. Still had a ton of flavor. read more

HOT ALERT! Yes, mild is plenty spicy and medium hot is painful! You have been warned! But the pad Thai was delicious (mild!) and the portion was huge! We also ordered the chicken fried rice and really loved that too. You will have a full & content belly and clear sinuses after eating from Thai Legend and be happier for it! read more

Was not impressed, the pad Thai was very dry and little chicken. If you like hot, this is the place, I ordered medium and I usually get hot and could not take it. To there credit he warned me. Just not very taste read more

I decided to try this restaurant yesterday. The Pad Cashew was heavy on the bamboo shoots. Sauce was very salty. It was okay,Meh. We also ordered Chinese Sweet and Sour, heavy on the breading. I think my husband said it was terrible. Sauce was very good but the chicken was like cardboard. Hard to eat. This is an honest review of the restaurant. Probably other dishes are good. read more

Visited for lunch my brother and I. Service and food were prompt. Soup and a spring will were included which was a very pleasant surprise. Ordered the Pineapple fried rice "mild". Very delicious and excellent spice. Portion was quite large so I have enough for leftovers. A wonderful local restaurant! read more

Thai Legend - Dinner portion of Pineapple fried rice with "Mild" spice. Spicier than other places so please be bear this in mind. - Thai Near Me - Waterford Township, Michigan

Giving them 5 stars because I have eaten a lot of Thai food and have been to a lot of restaurants and I put high ratings on Great Food first and foremost. This is some of the best Thai food I've ever eaten. The atmosphere and the surroundings are secondary. The service was friendly and prompt though very casual. I happen to like that. It was great to see the very delicious spring roll and really really delicious soup were included with the dinner. This is one of the best big food small price restaurants I've had the pleasure of enjoying in a long time. I'm always on the hunt for exactly this kind of restaurant and I will return frequently. read more

Thai Legend - This is traditional Thai and hotter. The flavor was probably the best I've ever eaten at a Thai restaurant. - Thai Near Me - Waterford Township, Michigan

Spicyness levels are a universal average, ranging from mild being essentially no spice to extra hot being inedible to mortals. I lived in Asia, travelled through India extensively, and I order my curry 'hot' everywhere. I'm not sweating bullets, I just have a higher capsaicin tolerance because I eat it regularly. This restaurant is just making shit up as they go. The medium plus (they gave me a repeated warning regarding hot) was inedible. I've attached a photo to show the difference, in the exact same GREEN CURRY, between them. Obviously this is not a real incremental increase. This is someone who doesn't eat the food dumping one kind of pepper in, indescriminately. Avoid at all cost, as you cannot predict what you will get. Likely, it'll be too hot, for no reason other than stubbornness on the part of the proprietor. read more
