Their red curry is the best around. Their crab rangoon is so delish. Hot and sour soup is fabulous. This place is our go-to.

Really alarming and Violent! They must have new employees because they are the rudest I've ever seen!! Young server showed HUGE ANGER PROBLEMS and threw the cutlery on across table when we kindly asked for a table to be cleaned for the 4 of us to sit instead of sitting at the booth. We couldn't believe it and asked older server to address this. He said that was his niece and was unwilling to apologize or say there was any problem. Tried to blame us that we aggravated. He cleaned the table and said 'you want or no?'. We said no thanks, that the behavior was unacceptable and left. Avoid this place at all costs because they will disrespect you, mess up your food, and try to ruin your evening out! read more

I just discovered Lai Thai and absolutely love it! A new favorite! Service is excellent and restaurant is cozy and clean. Will be back! The basil chicken is tasty and the curry potato puffs are so good! read more

First time visiting. I got Tom Yum Gai Soup, Kow Ladna Gai and a Thai Iced Coffee. I went here specifically because of the Kow Ladna. This dish is hard to find in this specific preparation. Very good soup, entree and a great Thai iced coffee. I would go there just for the Thai iced coffee; it was really good. read more

We placed a takeout order of pad thai (medium spice), a vegetable fried rice dish (no spice), chicken wings, spring rolls, and spring tom yum soup. For this variety of dishes, everything was just okay. The biggest disappointment was the pad thai. It wasn't spicy at all and hardly any sauce so the noodles were extremely clumped together. For $65, the flavor and quality didn't match. read more

I've gotten takeout here a few times and food is always delicious! The people that run the restaurant are very nice as well. I've only ever done takeout here but would love to dine in person sometime soon. read more

Lai Thai Restaurant - Spirit Noodles, Pad Seew, Pad Thai Takeout - Thai Near Me - Canton, Michigan

I've always been dicey with midwestern asian food, feel like a lot of the time flavors are sorta watered down. Not this spot. Hits like a truck with every flavor. Do yourself a favor and get some apps and a soup too read more

Ordered takeout from here while hanging out at my mom's in Canton for the evening. The menu is quite through with a ton of options from standard Thai dishes like Pad Thai, Tom Yum soup, curries, fried rice, noodles and more. They also have my favorite, Kao Soi on the menu ("noodles with meat or tofu in Lai Thai curry, coconut milk, and topped with red onions and crispy noodles"). However, I actually skipped trying that this time since it was a very warm evening and a brothier dish didn't quite sound like it would hit the spot. In the end I ordered the yellow curry with chicken, which I felt was kind of a combo of the Kao Soi flavors that I love (coconut, currey, etc) while being a bit more of a traditional rice dish. I was right and it was very good. Unfortunately I can't really handle spice anymore (as soon as I hit 40 years young, my stomach decided to go all in on heartburn in the middle of the night) so I was glad they had varying spice levels to choose from. For the sake of a good night's sleep I went with no spice and I nary a bit of heat was to be found and it was still quite flavorful in its own way. My mom and I also split an order of the vegetarian curry puffs and the mango sticky rice. Both were fantastic (though I'm not sure the sticky rice held up quite as well for carryout as the rice got a little gummy. I definitely would love to try it in house sometime). That part of Ford Road can get pretty congested but luckily they're located in a strip mall complex that does have some dedicated traffic lights so getting in and out isn't a total pain. Would definitely enjoy another meal here again. read more

Have been here several times. The food is fresh and comes boiling hot. Highly recommended

This is the cutest little restaurant. We were greeted immediately and were allowed to sit anywhere. The serving sizes were heaping and the prices were unbeatable. The food exceeded my expectations and the spice level was spot on. I was thrilled with my meal and will certainly return here. read more

One of my favorite restaurants! Everything I've tried on their menu--which is almost everything--has been absolutely PHENOMENAL. 20/10 Would recommend to anyone!! read more

Food, service, ambience and friendliness of staff was superb. Will definitely go back.

I got two dishes here take-out with someone else. It was very delicious and reasonably priced food. Good owners. FWIW I didnt dine in but i placed orders and picked up at the counter. The restaurant itself was small, full at "rush hour" 6pm, and very cozy friendly and good vibrations. I would recommend friends and small groups eat here-- its beautifully decorated read more

Whether you opt for dine-in or take out, you'll be happy if you order from Lai Thai. I'm assuming the gentleman who is always working is the owner, and he couldn't be nicer. We've been coming here for about 20 years and the food is excellent every time. You can't go wrong with any of the fried rice options. My daughter enjoys their pad Thai, though she orders it with no bean sprouts or peanuts (and I'll never understand the no peanut thing!). We've had several of their curry dishes and all are good. My husband basically drinks the curry sauce, treating it more like soup because it's phenomenal. Panang might be our favorite. I still can't recommend the yum apple dish enough. I see that I mentioned Ramada Noodle in my previous review and I haven't had that in a while, so that's on my list for next time. Their appetizers are also scrumdiddlyumptious. Plus you'll get service with a smile, and you'll notice the regulars who the owner always acknowledges appreciatively. Maybe you'll be the next regular. Enjoy! read more

Always enjoy their Pad Thai. It's one of the best on the west side of metro Detroit. I haven't experimented with other menu items. Just keep going back for the Pad Thai. read more

Very yummy food, for a reasonable price! We love the smiley faces on the crab Rangoon!

I came here when they were less than an hour from close and I was still greeted extremely politely and the owner was so nice. And the food was actually so good I got the tom kha and the fried rice. And they are very generous with the prices compared to the thai food I've had to around the area. The inside of this restaurant was clean and was decorated nicely. This place is a gem. read more

This place is consistently great! The tasty food the service and the friendliness. Love it!

The food is always good. I've tried the spring rolls, chicken curry, fried rice and cucumber salad. I've been going here for years!

Been searching for a new favorite Thai place after my go to place closed several years ago. Finally found it with Lai Thai! The food is what I've been looking for and the cost is reasonable too. In the last month I've done both dine in and carryout. read more

I highly recommend the Crispy Pineapple Chicken, it has onions, green pepper, carrots, pineapple, and a very thinly breaded fried cubed chicken with an amazing pineapple sauce. I get mine mild heat but you can up the heat as well. It is my new favorite meal at Lai Thai. I used to just eat the sweet and sour chicken which is also very good but I love Pineapple! read more

Best Curry Fish dish anywhere. I've been coming here for years. Friendly service alwats

Always great!! Love their spring rolls and everything I've tried over the years! It is definitely my favorite for Thai food.

Absolutely love this place. Basil Fried Rice and Pad Ped are personal favorites; SO delicious. Great portion sizes for the price. Love the environment, and the owners are great; very friendly and customer first. This is one of my go-to's when I need to order some takeout or take my friends for food when they come to visit! read more

We went here to eat dinner. Unplanned, but knew that we wanted Thai food. We walked in and were nicely greeted and seated right away. The restaurant was very clean and so nicely decorated. We ordered after looking over the menu for a few minutes. We ordered a few small plates and one main dish to share. Everything that we chose was SO good. The flavors were authentic and just perfect on the spice level that we chose. I like to try the Tom Ka Gai everywhere I go and theirs was outstanding! 10/10 we will be back! read more

Yuck one star just to comment..... Order rama noodles with egg very DISGUSTING first off they didn't scramble the egg....look very soupy....I dnt know if the cook was upset that I ordered so late will not be returning read more

The pad Thai is good I would frequent the restaurant again and I would refer to others

This is one of the BEST tasting Thai food we've had in a very long time. This is a family-owned business that has been in the area for 26 years! The service was impeccable! We walked in after 3 hours of driving and was greeted immediately. They owner's brother was fantastic and warm, while the waitress (I presume also family) was kind, patient, and friendly. We're fans of this small business and give them a 5 out of 5 stars!!!! read more

I always passed by this place and took note of it, but never got a chance to actually try it out, until yesterday! Treating an out of town visitor and he wanted Thai food and he was in the Canton area, so we came here. I ordered the Green Curry with Tofu (big surprise) and my friend ordered the Rama Noodle. We both tried each other's food and it was legit Thai food, it was very appealing, flavorful and great! The dinner portion was okay, but I was hoping it would be more quantity for the price, but the size was decent. I was able to take a little home to the family, but wished there was more. The service from the gentleman who served us was nice, he was friendly and accommodating when I asked for more rice. My wife and children upon trying my leftovers were also delighted with the taste, flavor and quality of the food. Just wish there was a little more quantity and hands down it would be a 5-star rating for me. read more

Started with a delicious soup that thicker than the typical Thai offering. Loved it. Then I decided on Spirit Noodles and I am so glad I did. There was bamboo shoots, broccoli, green peppers and carrots in rice noodles and a spicy brown gravy. I questioned if shrimp served with tails on or off and the waitress, who seemed to be the proprietor, laughed and said we want food to taste delicious, not look pretty. No tails l s on my shrimp. So good. I will be back! read more

We hadn't ordered from here in a while simply because we moved out of Canton. We have tried other Thai restaurants in our area and nothing compares. We were in the area today and ordered carry out. Nothing has changed! This is still the best Thai restaurant!! The spring rolls are crisp and fresh and not soggy on the inside. Delicious! Everything they serve is fresh, flavorful and scrumptious. Even carry out that we drove 30 minutes home with was still piping hot and fresh! Excellent customer service as well! They treat their customers like family and friends. Keep doing what you've been doing for years! We appreciate you and love your food.!! read more

Their food is incredible!! Best thai food in Canton! Their pad Thai is amazing and they have the most inviting staff, highly recommend!

This Thai restaurant used to be my favourite restaurant when I lived in the area. Whenever we venture out into the Canton area we try to have a meal at this restaurant. Today, the restaurant was quite busy and we were not even greeted when we walked in. Because we were not greeted, we walked in and grabbed a seat. The restaurant was busy, so we waited and the owner grabbed the menus from the ladies sitting behind us saying that they had no more menus and she needed it. I believe that they had already placed their orders, but I thought it was a rude way to get menus to us. The first thing I want to say is that we heard that people in another table beside us had ordered spring rolls and we decided we wanted to have spring rolls as well. When we were placing the order we were told that they had no more spring more rolls. I thought this was still odd, because we were there with the restaurant had just opened for lunch on Saturday. It was around 1130. I believe the restaurant opens for lunch at 11 AM. The food at the restaurant is good. I always order FR6 hot and add vegetables and tofu. ( Pineapple fried rice). The flavours are very good at this restaurant. However, today, I felt that the hot was more of a mild and I still used additional hot sauce (requested on the side). My husband ordered C6, which is chicken pad ped. He ordered it hot. He thought the dish was very flavourful but he thought it too could use more spice. He says that the spice level was more of a "solid medium". Overall, we enjoyed the meal and the décor of the restaurant is very nice but I felt that everything was very rushed because the restaurant was quite busy. One of the benefits of going for lunch and we got a vegetable soup. Today, because the weather was cooler, it was nice to get the soup with the meal. We probably will end up going back when we are in the area again, hopefully next time with some better service and more flavours that we have experienced in the past. read more

They were very friendly on the phone. Great prices. Crab Rangoon was SO GOOD, chicken pad Thai was good (not the best I've ever had, but definitely good enough to get again). Pick up took a little while, not because anyone was too slow but because the phone range for quite a few minutes before it was answered. I'm sure that is just because call volume is very high considering the pandemic. read more
