I went here for the first time last weekend and im a huge fan. I feel like when you venture outside of your regular restaurant of various cuisines its always disappointing, but this was quite the opposite. I liked that they had larb, and it was really good - the salty, fatty, citrus flavors just punch you right in the face (in a good way), and I'd never had pad thai curry before but really liked that too - its very much a best of both worlds type of situation. Plus - mango sticky rice. read more

We dined in and the food came out pretty quickly despite them being very busy, portions were also pretty big and flavorful. The restaurant was clean and the staff was very attentive read more

We got Friday night takeout from Tuptim and it was delicious! I ordered the See Ew, my husband got the massaman curry (kinda like a coconut chicken curry) and we got the spring rolls to split. The sauce that came with the rolls was a heavy ginger flavor but not too sweet and paired nicely with the rolls, which were crispy and flavorful inside. My See Ew included chicken and was very tasty, with several different vegetables included. I ordered it mild, but my mouth was on fire haha. I guess that's what you can expect from Thai seasoning. Next time I might get no spice. Overall it was delicious, great value and well order from here again! read more

What ever you do - never request very hot spice at Tuptim Thai!!! I made that near fatal error about a year ago while having lunch with my kid brother. It took nearly a full day for my tongue & mouth to recover. Must admit the endorphin release was extraordinary. Understood they are moving across the street to a space which will double their seating capacity. This speck of Thai cuisine has grown to accommodate a huge following. Would gladly dine again next visit into the Ann Arbor area. My nephew will love this joint. Same young man turned me onto LAN Noodles just east of Tuptim. Wildly delicious noodles & broth and their Green Onion pancakes. That's two cool reviews in one! read more

Absolutely! It's one of the few Thai places in Ann Arbor where I can order Pad Woon Sen, the glass noodle base dish. I really like Tuptim's more because they add a variety of vegetables in addition to whatever protein you select. read more

Incredible Thai food experience here. I sincerely enjoy the wonton egg noodle soup! It had a great flavor and it was very filling. The tilapia and eggplant was good too. I also want to highlight the spring rolls! The restaurant has been there a long time is a small quaint environment. The waitstaff is nice and very attentive. The prices aren't too expensive I feel either. We had so many dishes I can't pick which one was my favorite! And the spice level, be ware as they know how to make mild have a kick. read more

Service was very fast. Ambiance was ok, looks like they might be moving to a new location soon. The Panang curry with chicken was very good and flavorful. Got medium+ which was the perfect spice level. The crab rangoons were good, different than a typical crab Rangoon and had more filling to wonton wrapper ratio. read more

The food was wonderful, even better than the menu descriptions! My partner asked for extra spicy and his choices made the mark.

I'm addicted to their Tom Yum soup. So delicious. I always get an extra order to have the next day. Tip: For takeout, order from their website, not a third-party site. It's $6 on Tuptim's website but $8 on GrubHub (even if you pick up yourself.) read more

It's a low key place that serves great food! The service was quick and getting a table was easy as well. The food is a great here, all the curries ate great and tons of appetizer options. The mango sticky rice is highly recommended! The ambiance is okay with moderate noise. It's a good place get nice tasting food quickly. read more

Tuptim Thai Cuisine - Yellow chicken curry with steamed rice - Thai Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

Tuptim Thai in Ann Arbor is easily one of the best Thai restaurants I've visited in Michigan. The restaurant is small, cozy, and welcoming, creating a comfortable atmosphere that feels authentic and inviting. The service was excellent--friendly, attentive, and efficient without being rushed. We started with the Chicken Satay, which was delicious, but the real star was the peanut sauce. It was rich, flavorful, and honestly one of the best peanut sauces I've had at a Thai restaurant. For the main dishes, we ordered the Green Curry, Thai Basil Fried Rice, and Pad Thai. Every dish was outstanding. The Green Curry was perfectly balanced with great flavor and just the right amount of spice. The Thai Basil Fried Rice was fresh, aromatic, and packed with flavor. The Pad Thai was absolutely delicious and had the perfect combination of sweetness, tanginess, and texture. To top it all off, the Thai Iced Tea was exceptional--refreshing, creamy, and one of the best I've had. It's rare to find a place where every dish impresses, but Tuptim Thai delivered across the board. Great food, great service, and a cozy atmosphere make this a restaurant I'll definitely be returning to. Highly recommended. read more

Wonderful food and service! The fish and Eggplant was divine! Came here three times in one week. read more

This is a quaint little spot amidst various great ethnic restaurants. It's not fancy, but the food is good! They serve organic chicken which was incredible only wish the veggies were fresh and not frozen. We had: Som Tam , chicken Penang and red curry with chicken. I'll definitely retro try the scallops and eggplant with tofu. read more

Love tuptim Thai. I have to stop myself from eating here every week. I think about their fresh vegetable rolls often. So clean, healthy and delicious! The service always is so accommodating and kind. I love their tom yum and drunken noodles. Can't go wrong with anything! read more

Overall ok across a variety of dishes. Curries are spot on. Penang is my favorite. If you're a Pad Thai fan, I'd have to go elsewhere. Way too sweet after several tries. The sauce is literally the sweet/sour sauce served with the spring rolls. Stick with the curries and stir fries. Present building is pretty beat up on the outside. If there weren't some cars in the parking lot, it would be easy to think the place was abandoned. Thankfully, they are making plans to move acres the street. read more

The dishes were phenomenal! It was honestly the best Thai food with Halal chicken that I've had since I left NYC. My family and I came here on Monday and ordered medium plus spice. The restaurant ambience was more casual family restaurant style. The service was good and the food came out quickly. Just to note they already had gratuity added when we got the bill. Here's my thoughts on what we ordered (all dishes I'd order again): - Drunken noodles - the noodles were cooked to perfection and perfectly spiced. My dad loved them!!! - Sesame chicken - was delicious, and nice and saucy. Broccoli was cooked well. - Honey chicken - very good, tasted more like sweet and sour chicken to me but I didn't mind. - Red curry - my second favorite! It was the right amount of spice and the chicken was nice and soft. I could taste the fresh Thai basil. Ugh sooo good! - Tilapia eggplant - My favorite dish and my mom's too! The fish and eggplant were so crispy and an amazing combo! I am definitely coming back again even though I live a hour away. A must try!!! read more

Tuptim was good. I got the green curry. Portions are fair for the price. I gave it three stars because while it was good, it was not anything stand out by any means. That said, my friends really enjoyed it and you might too. read more

We are so lucky to have Tuptin! The food is heavenly. The green curry is sublime and luscious. The service is great! The servers are friendly and knowledgeable. Sometimes I will ask for a recommendation and it is always yummy. I love the building too. Very old school. The ambiance is low key and elegant. If I could give ten stars I would! Tuptin is the place. read more

I had heard that Tuptim was the best Thai food in Ann Arbor and upon looking at the menu I was super skeptical... I mean hot and sour soup? Sesame chicken? You cannot convince me that this is an authentic Thai restaurant. With that said, I suspended disbelief to order the khao soi which is my favourite Thai dish. I ordered it with beef and selected extra hot as my preference. Being a northern Thai dish, Khao soi is generally spicy as is so I was a bit worried that I was in over my head. The dish? Not Khao soi, and certainly not even remotely close to not let alone extra hot let alone Thai hot. For context, my parents wouldn't touch tabasco with a 10 foot pole and were able to eat it fine. My dad described it "coconut milk with a bit of seasoning" which I thought was pretty accurate. Such a bummer...but the Thai search continues read more

Well, my grandfather absolutely loves this place. I would definitely say if you're gonna order food to go to just go pick it up yourself there seems to be a lot of complicated issues with food delivery from this place but if you go ahead and get the pad Thai. read more

This family operation thrills me in compelling ways. I'm a lunch special regular and special occasions feast fanatic for Tuptim Thai. The flavors are rich and authentic. The ingredients are fresh and vital. Table service tends to be quick, hospitable and accurate. Ok, here's the real deal. My palate for Thai flavors and spice was shaped early by one of the earliest Thai restaurants in Ann Arbor. Tuptim is one of two places I know that can replicate the visceral taste-memory of those early days. Just wonderful flavors. Of substantial importance.. spice level.. if you order the "nuclear" spice level, even the most experienced will sweat and burn their way through every bite of irresistible flavor. Impressive. I'm grateful. Eat here. read more

Delicious food! It's a pretty casual restaurant, so the lure here is definitely the food. The crispy tilapia eggplant was a particular standout. read more

Consumed half an order of the red curry noodles, fairly certain I ingested a decade's worth of MSG. What was that?

Good food, nice people. Can't say much about the space bc we always get takeout. Food is just what you'd expect.

Spotty. A few winners but also the worst Pad Thai ever. Food was often soggy, overcooked, and full of gristle (three visits recently). I do not understand the positive reviews. Possibly it has to do with the cook on duty at the time. This used to be our favorite Thai place but that was at least five years ago. read more

I thought the food here was good!! The Chicken Paid Thai was pretty good, I felt like it needed just a bit more flavor, but overall a pretty good meal. The online ordering was simple, and was easy to pick up. Looks like a cute place for dine in as well, I was just there for some carryout. Will be back! read more

This place is on my way home from work, so I pick up take out regularly. I decided to try the mee sua recently and asked for no bean sprouts and extra carrots. The meal I took home was half bean sprouts & was cold by the time I gave up removing them. "extra" carrots was a grand total of 6 slices of carrot. read more

Every time I go to San Francisco I make sure I have a meal at Burma Superstar for my favorite dish, Khao Soi, a coconut curry based soup with noodles and chicken (that I've since learned is a favorite in northern Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar). I've struggled to find it locally but after some searching found it on the menu at Tuptim Thai under the spelling "Kow Soy." I new I had to have it! Now, it's a bit different, of course, from the one I had in SF but it definitely fulfills my cravings here in MI. The noodles were perfectly prepared, the coconut curry was flavorful, and there was a decent amount of chicken in the mix. I also added potatoes to mine (not how I had it in SF but I figured I'd try it, it was a good addition). I wish it had the crunchy fried noodles that I've had with the dish in other places but I'll definitely be ordering this again. I also got the delicious mango coconut rice and a thai iced tea and they'll both be staples of my order moving forward, too! read more

We went here with an obsession of chicken pad Thai and it did not disappoint. The line for pick up was crazy long and we had to wait for 25 minutes, but even with that it was more than worth it! I'm sure if I went back (not during a White Lotus night) it would have been faster! read more

Love their green chicken curry. I live in Lambertville but eat here everytime I go to the airport or Ann Arbor.

Update alert. Good food but they need to seriously fix their driveway. Potholes will make a semi disappear. read more

Easily the best Thai food in Ann Arbor! I highly recommend their pad Thai, drunken noodles, green curry, and sticky mango rice. The food is extremely flavorful and authentic. I have yet to try their Thai iced tea - hoping to on my next visit. Service was friendly and efficient. Our food came out in well under 10 minutes. The ambiance inside is chill and casual. This is also a popular takeout restaurant. Will definitely be back! read more

I ordered for pickup, and the service was quick and easy over the phone. The food was delicious and well-prepared. Just a tip--if you prefer mild spice, be sure to mention it when ordering. read more

Best Thai place in the area, hands down. Whenever my friends and I are craving Thai food, Tuptim is our go-to. Heck, whenever we are trying to decide on a place to eat, Tuptim is usually one of the suggested restaurants. My go-to is the yellow curry with chicken. It's a bit expensive ($15), but the portions are big enough for me to separate it into a couple meals - three if I'm eating a bunch of rice to save money, lol. They give you a good amount of protein and potatoes. Honestly, the curry is so flavorful - lots of spices and the subtle coconut milk flavor just enhances everything. Makes my day when I eat the yellow curry here, to be honest. So satisfying and tasty. My mouth is watering as I'm typing this up. Pad Thai, pad see ew - all great options, too. Can't go wrong with them here. read more

The service is very quick! I've been here multiple times and I've enjoyed the Pad See Ewe, fried rice, fried tofu, and the Thai tea. During my most recent visit my friend didn't love his chicken dumplings. They lacked some flavour and came out within a few minutes, so we assumed they were just heated up. Overall, everyone is very friendly and the food is good! read more

Food: My Pad Thai in curry sauce was incredibly flavorful and at just the right spice level. My daughter, who has become a Superhero of Spice, enjoyed her hot spicy level a great deal. Portion sizes ensured that we had leftovers! Service: Staff was friendly, attentive, and regularly made sure we were doing well without seeming intrusive. Ambiance: Clean, comfortable, a little kitschy, bright colors outside. It screamed "we've been here forever". My daughter and I are planning to return in the near future! read more

You know the feeling -- lunchtime is creeping up, and as your stomach growls, there's only one thing that will satisfy it: Thai food. After passing Tuptim Thai several times at a non-meal time, getting a recommendation from a friend, and reading about it from YpsiReal, I decided it was time to give it a try myself. Located on Washtenaw Ave just before Golfside as you approach Ypsilanti, it's currently open for carry out only. That was perfect, as it made ordering my lunch and picking it up a snap. I perused the menu and decided on Beef Pad Thai. When I called in my order, the employee asked me about spice level. YpsiReal had warned that the spices here are no joke, so I opted for "mild plus". 10 minutes later I was picking up my meal from their convenient outdoor station. I paid contactless via Clover and headed home to enjoy my lunch. The verdict? It's a winner! And it's spicy. I like a little heat, but take my word for it, this place is no joke, so order accordingly. Still, I enjoyed my spicy Pad Thai lunch and will look forward to trying something else on the menu soon! read more
