Sampler the shrimp and crab Rangoon were my favorite but all were delicious.

Run don't walk. Best hidden Thai jewel in MI. I have eaten at a lot of Thai restaurants but this just went to my top three. Not only is the price very reasonable, but the portions are large and guess what the food is outstanding. Check out my photos. We will definitely come back here and we are telling our friends. It's a family owned restaurant that refuses to do DoorDash or Uber eats it's worth the trip.

Pad Thai Curry medium plus with shrimp
Kevin J.

I'd driven by Aaroyd Thai dozens and dozens of times before finally setting foot inside. (I'm tempted to say a hundred times and maybe that's just supposed to be a figure of speech but I don't know if it's quite that many times.) I've eaten at both nearby Thai Kitchen and Thai Star several times as they've both been around longer than Aaroyd - to my knowledge - but never reviewed either on here as somehow neither made much of an impression on me. I guess they're both threes? I love Thai so much you have to fuck it up pretty damn bad to get less than a three star from me. But that's neither here nor there as this review is for Aaroyd Thai. Aaroyd Thai is an odd sounding name to my American ears that makes me think of SNL OG Dan Akroyd every time. If phone books were still a thing in 2023 I might hypothesize they were trying to get the first listing in one, definitely at least for Thai. It's very unassuming when you're driving by on Dequindre, perhaps one reason I kept barreling by so many times. I did notice the use of the Thailand flag on their sign on the front facade of the strip mall, a cool little detail if you're a flag nerd like me. The interior is a bit odd, with a lot of unused space, with a semi walled in dining area with some character in the front corner a ways away from the main counter and a row of tables against the wall away from the windows with almost nothing in the way of decor but closer to the main counter. I tend to sit at the boring tables just so Song, the gal who's working every time I go in there doesn't have to walk so far. The side against the wall is booth seating as well, always a plus in my book. I usually come in for dinner on Monday or Tuesday and there's always very little business, a shame since the food here is absolutely bomb! Very flavorful with spice levels that don't mess around- the fabled medium plus still lives and breathes here and it's sometimes close to the edge of my comfort level. I like a little kick and it certainly provides it. Hot or extra hot must be pretty fearsome at Aaroyd Thai. Some places I can hang with their hot but Aaroyd I occasionally think about downgrading to medium. Portions are plentiful, another throwback to the days when medium plus reigned at Thai joints across the land. I open that fridge late at night and boom! there in the styrofoam second meal, just like it should be. Sometimes that strong spice level makes it more of a snack that has me going back for thirds or fourths still later. And it's got that Thai deliciousness that makes it so tasty even cold. The Pad Thai is great, the basil fried rice is great, Vegetable Curry is great, Pad Pak is great, and the Tom Yum soup doesn't disappoint either. I usually get shrimp as my protein and it always tastes nice and fresh. I tried the Gang Paa on my last visit, one of those dishes where I'll just point and say G9 rather than risk butchering the pronunciation of a word like Paa. Don't wanna make a faux paa. *rimshot* It was pretty good but maybe not as hugely satisfying as some of the other dishes. The closest I've had to a disappointment here was the chili paste fried rice, a dish that wasn't jarring any memories from other Thai restaurants and was a bit of a strange combination on the flavor front but even that wasn't all that bad. And now I know that's just not my thing. As far as service sometimes Song is very on point and sometimes she seems to drift off a little. It's always slow when I go in and I know from experience sometimes it's actually harder to stay focused on on your A game when it's like that. So yeah, don't be shy about asking for a box or a water refill if you need one. I hope Aaroyd does get busy sometimes cause I want this place to stay around for many years. I already forgot about all the little mental notes I started making for future Yelp reviews of Thai Star and Thai Kitchen and good riddance. I don't need em clogging up valuable space up in my aging brain cells. I'm gonna keep going to Aaroyd Thai and keep trying more things - still haven't had any appetizers, salads or Thai iced tea. Now I'm getting hungry late at night. That's when I know I'm writing a glowing restaurant review.

Ordered some NYE Thai food from here today. Started with their crab Rangoon, steamed tofu, chicken pad Thai extra spicy and scallops and steamed tofu pad pak no corn, medium spicy. Had to add spice levels, wasn't asked and had to ask if they wanted my name for the order as well. Food would be done in 20 minutes, ordered at 4:19pm. The food was ready in 20 minutes, They give you a free can of soda, Coke or a bottle of water with your dinner order. The app and two dinners cost us $35.89. Additional costs for a second protein to each meal. The carry out containers are durable and well packed for the entrees. The crab Rangoon styrofoam is vented to keep it from getting too soggy from the drive home. The crab Rangoon inside tastes good, the skins are too thick for my preference. The pad Thai is fully packed, portions are decent as is the pad pak. The pad Thai with the steamed tofu and chicken is pretty good, good portion for sure. The chicken slices are quite sizable in the pad Thai. The pad pak isn't bad, it's not overly salty, has a decent amount of heat, not super flavorful. I had about 4-5 pieces of scallop in my pad pak. There are big chunks of broccoli stalk that I am not so fond of either. Service was quick and efficient. Portions are decent here.

P6- Pad Bai Kra Pow
Stacey B.

We decided to try this place out based on previous reviews. I would probably give it closer to 3.5 instead of four for a couple of reasons. The food here was good, but not great. I did like the sauce the spring rolls came with, but they were run of the mill frozen ones. I ordered the Pad Bai Kra Pow (veggie) and my guy ordered Pad See Ew (pork). Personally, I didn't care for their brown sauce. It was lighter in color and thicker than what I'm used to. We did decide to eat in, and as expected, they weren't busy. At all. Yet, I had to go up to ask for containers, as well as our bill. I'm glad we tried this place, but due to the steep prices and okay food, I don't think we'll be back. I did get images of their current menu. Please keep in mind, the pricing could change.

Excellent value, fresh tasting ingredients, and flavorful. Carry out was pretty quick and easy.

Shrimp rolls very fresh!

We were looking for a place that has Halal food options, and this place had Halal meat as an option which was great. The customer service is just impeccable. The people who work here treat you very well and try their best to answer questions. I really appreciated the elder gentleman who was there to first greet us, and he was kind enough to bring out the chef to help us decide on which items we wanted to order and how to customize them, we asked for extremely spicy food and boy did they deliver! At the time we were the only ones in the restaurant, and they gave us their full attention I would say this is definitely a family friendly place and they are very kid friendly. The place was very clean and nicely decorated. They served us the dishes fresh and piping hot. If you were looking for savory and spicy food, this is the place to go to. I would even come here for large groups as well. They are a new place and they need the business so if you're thinking to try out something new, and has Halal options I would highly recommend this place.

Drunkin noodle, kow pad, crab rangoon, and koong hom pa.

Best Thai food hands down. Great customer service, very helpful. And tastes how it's supposed to.

First time coming here since they changed owners. I have eaten at many Thai restaurants especially in the metro detroit Area and I got say the food here is great. I want to say more but I will come back and hopefully have more postive things to say. So far I ordered that pad se ew and some spring rolls. I ordered medium spice and it was the perfect level . Be back soon

It wasn't "bad" but also it wasn't super tasty. I didn't care for the type of chicken they used. It was real chicken, it just was some odd type of slicing of the meat. It sounds odd to say that, I realize that, but I'm not a chef and maybe I don't know the right way to explain it - it was like the chicken was sliced against the grain in thin sheets, similar to prepackaged l lunch meat. I just didn't care for it. Also, I have been eating keto lately, and I have a cheat day each week or ten days so I can have my Pad Thai, which I love, and some ice cream afterwards. I was away from my neighbourhood where I usually get my Thai food and so I stopped here to try it I felt bad cuz I had my cheat day but I didn't enjoy it

They give you a number and call it out when your order is ready. Behind the counter is a line of high powered stoves to heat up woks to serve food that's piping hot. Yes, it's the stoves that require a steady trickle of water to run over them to prevent the fire from melting the metal stove. I think that must be the secret why the food is so delicious due to the wok hei. I've had their Thai Stir-fried Glass Noodles (Pad Woon Sen), listed as Woosen Pad Thai on their menu, as well as their Curry Noodle Pad Thai with chicken. It's always been delicious, although be careful with their spice level. They can't serve it without any heat, but the mild still has a kick! They also have drinks and bubble tea-the Thai tea is delicious and has a strong flavor and a lot of caffeine, but their boba is hard so I wouldn't get it again. For seating, there's open food court seating indoors and outdoors.

We both enjoy the apple or papaya salad. And I'm a sucker for tum yum soup, theirs does not disappoint. Entrees we often enjoy traditionals like Pad See Ewe and Fried Rice. They are staples for a reason. But I've enjoyed trying many of Sue's recommendations. And I love a ground chicken dish she recommended served with lettuce cups and a fried egg. I wish I remembered the name. But it's one of her favorites. She will know! Be sure to ask for the Thai pickled lime and hot peppers condiment (upon request). My newest obsession is their Chicken Satay salad. It's fantastic. So fresh and delicious, not to mention gorgeous. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed. I can't tell you about dessert because we are always too full. But I'm determined to try her mango rice because I'm confident it will be amazing . If you have tried this place, it's worth a visit. You will want to go back again and again.

I cannot find any other local Thai restaurant that is currently serving glass noodles in this form. Almost all ingredients that are imported are extremely expensive, and since Thai restaurants are having a challenge with costs, it's a premium. My friend ordered a drunken noodle, which frankly, I should probably try some time, however, given the fact that there's not many places that makes pad Thai with glass noodles, I stick with what I know. The interior is perfect for the sit down experience, the aesthetics are pleasing, as the room is bright yellow, and I'm saying that with love. Well I was there I seen at least 10 people do carry out, so you know that's a good sign as well.
