Ummmm, one of the best Thai restaurants I've ever been to. We got lucky and stumbled upon this gem…read moreon Yelp when visiting bay city. Not much to look at pulling up, but some of the most amazing food inside. Only three small tables and I assume they do mostly carryout. We happened to Come at an odd time. 2:30 on a Friday which worked out perfect considering I heard them on the phone say they are often booked ahead for multiple hours. The cheese wontons and the potstickers were great, but the true masterpiece is the peppered sliced steak. We enjoyed it on the green curry but they offer as an option on many of their dishes. I would literally drive from Toledo, Ohio where I live to enjoy this place again.

Don't be fooled by the outside or you will miss one of the most delicious Thai spots I've ever…read moretried. Sounds like they get lots of phone orders and honestly some wait for up to 3 hours. We got in at the right time. The cheese rangos were crispy and the sauce was yummy. Dumplings fries just right We got the Curry with the peppered steak mid rare. It was so tender and stood on its own. Next time I'd like to order the meal with a different protein and have the steak as my app. Cooked to perfection and served with fried rice. What a perfect combo. I hope to get back! Super friendly and patient.

This is a good choice for a slower-paced meal, but I would not recommend it for larger parties unless you are eating family-style. We arrived on a Friday night when it was full (about 6:30; they close at 8:00) and after waiting about 10 minutes for a table, there was considerable wait for our food as well. The server, who was so sweet, explained the kitchen operates with only a 4-burner stove. We watched a 6-top near us get served their entrees over a period of about 10 minutes, and then the last man waited for his about an additional 5. They were together, but not eating together most of the time, and it seemed awkward for them. Vibe and decor had great energy. We would definitely return!

My husband walked in the door at 5pm which was when they opened, he was first in line. He ordered me vegan options which he was advised would take 50 minuets. Fast forward 1 hour and 40 min later the food was finally done. (Another pick up order had actually left and requested a refund while my husband was waiting) I called to ask for a manager callback to find out why it took so long. Upon calling I spoke with Tina who answered said she was the owner and started to yell at me for the inquiry. She claimed Vegan food takes that long to cook. (Vegan food is just minus eggs and meat/fish in Thai dishes.) The yelling was unnecessary and unacceptable. The wait would have been acceptable if we had been advised. I'd recommend finding another Thai restaurant. Does anyone have any suggestions? **UPDATE - Call back from the real "Tina" to advise I don't know vegan or Thai food. She called "apologize" while saying why she was right after apologizing which isn't an apology. Apparently her mother was the one to answer the phone and yell at me originally.

We ordered the Sweet and Sour Pork, Fried Rice, and Lo Mein Noodles. The rice was good. Half of the Sweet and Sour Pork was just a crisp shell - no meat inside at all. The other half had meat, but the thickest breading so it was nearly a 50/50 ratio. The noodles were so over cooked that they were mushy. There was no twirling around your fork or scooping up a big bite that slaps you in the chin as you try to eat it; as soon as you stuck a fork in, it was tiny, chewy pieces. So disappointing.

Some drove from over an hour away and we thought Chen's was the one perfect place. I made sure that we tipped the Mongolian grill staff $5-10/plate (even though it's included in the price of the buffet). I genuinely believe in taking care of our local establishments. And, at a buffet, I left a $50 tip just on the ticket (~35%) and yet the young lady working up front screamed at me for grabbing three to-go ice cream items (literally in to-go packaging) for my family because some are older, no one ate much, and no one realized that was an option. So I thought I'd get them for them. But the girl up front said no. I politely tried to explain and she immediately said she'd call the cops if I didn't leave. Wtf. You just lost a long-time group of people who were always rooting for you. That moment completely changed how we view this restaurant. A place we once recommended is now a place we won't return to.
