We're always satisfied with lil thai. We burn 30 mins of our 45 min lunch time getting lil thai carryout for lunch once a week if that says anything. read more

I have been here a few years ago. It was excellent ! I picked up carry out, I asked for extra sauce on both meals. One was very dry , the other had a little sauce ! They gave me a small container of dry seasoning. Only a small amount off meat in each meal. Very disappointed ? It could have been a bad day , wasn't busy at all. Not sure if I'm trying them again. read more

Was good at one time. Order extra chicken. I couldn't find the chicken. Very very salty. What's up with that? Spring rolls stuck together. read more

This is seriously the best Thai food I've ever had. I live on Harsens Island but every time I'm out that way I make a point to go there and get carry out. Their Chicken Pad Ped is probably the best Thai dish I've ever had. I wish I could replicate it. The Pad Thai is amazing as well. They are both on the sweeter end of things, but that's what I like. Also, the crispy rolls are the best I've had anywhere period. I travel a lot for work and everywhere I go, I usually get Thai food and honestly I haven't found a place that compares - not just the crispy rolls, but everything. The service is always great and the people there are super friendly. I highly recommend this place. I wish I had a picture to share but I ate it all already. These guys won't disappoint. read more

Mine and my husbands go to Thai place in our neighborhood. We randomly tried this place and have yet to be disappointed by it. The food is always made well and nice size portions. The price isn't bad either. I just wish they had Thai tea and I'd be in heaven! read more

I really like Thai food in this place is good and priced fairly. My family seems to enjoy their options of other foods too.

What happened to this place?!! Was the Best go to. Came here everytime I come home.. it was a go to place!! Pad Thai (Mild Plus) had NO Seasoning... the Crushed nuts tasted stale. Ordered spring rolls burnt ... Smh... I will try it one more time because of its history. But as far as I'm concerned ... something has changed!! I threw the Pad Thai out before taking photo ... worst Thai I've ever eaten... from a 10 to a Zero... Disappointed!! read more

Hole in the way Thai place, small, family owned. But authentic Thai food. My fiancé used to come here weekly when he lived in Detroit, and it did not disappoint. Due to COVID, you just order at the counter. The quality is still great. - Pad se ew (4/5): noddles had a rich taste that hit the spot. Cooked and seasoned well. Medium was the perfect spice level for me - Seafood curry (4/5): we ordered hot, and it was a bit spicy for me but my fiancé loved it. We also got shrimp chips which were pretty good but not as fresh as I like them. Overall a great little restaurant! read more

I was in the Clinton Township area few months back to visit my friend Sara and we were both in the mood for Thai. I had searched up places around me and stumbled upon Lil Thai Express. We walked in and were instantly greeted. The atmosphere of the place has a simplistic feel to it and it's a good size. I got myself the seafood combo medium spice with a bowl of their tom yum soup and Sara got herself the basil fried rice with no meat mild spice and a bowl of their hot and sour soup. Our food came out quickly, nice and fresh. The presentation of our food looked appetizing and everything tasted up to par. I was highly satisfied with my seafood combo entree and the lady was very sweet about asking if I wanted more rice with it too. Sara and I were both definitely satisfied with our meals walking out. If you ever want a good tasty place to eat I highly recommend eating here. read more

Just got a dinner carry out and I must say- for the price- amazing portion! I was pleasantly surprised because nowadays- more money means less portion. I ordered the gang dang and was definitely on point. This will be my go to Thai restaurant when I'm in the area! read more

There are places all over town that serve Thai cuisine,. but Lil Thai express is my all time favorite They give generous helpings and alot of meat all at a fair price. I've tried other places, but I keep going back to this one. I recommend this little restaurant read more

The food is very good, I get the chicken fried rice or Pad Thai with chicken. Sometimes I just go for the spring rolls because they are great and they sold in 3's. The service is always fast. It's take out only now since Covid. They give you a lot of food at a reasonable price. read more

This is my favorite of all the Thai restaurants for carry out. The food is crave-worthy, delicious, and habit-forming. Last week I ordered the Pad Ped, with soft-as-butter eggplant slices, fresh mushrooms, tender chicken (and lots of it), perfectly translucent onion slices, and the red curry sauce so good I could just drink it. This week, it was the Pad Cashew in a brown sauce that's just as dangerously addiction forming - loads of crisp cashews, tender chicken, perfect onion slices, and bamboo slices. Now I have two favorites. The Vegetable Spring Rolls with sauce are so good I didn't switch to any of the other appetizers yet. Each time I've ordered, it's ready very quickly, usually 10-15 minutes. This carry out restaurant is small and clean, and the staff is very good when calling for orders, and friendly and professional in person. The orders are very well packed. Don't forget Lil Thai Express: you're missing out if you haven't been there yet. Seriously. read more

The crispy rolls are more chewy than they are crispy. But they still taste good. I will eat the fried rice for days, there is so much. And great flavor. read more

So we were in the mood for some good pad thai but not wanting to wait too long and on the door dash app it said under 30 minutes from this place. I have never had it from here before, but I will again. Wow the spice levels were perfect, we got medium pad thai and mild drunken noodle. The drunken noodle was a good sweet background with basil and pepper favors. Pad thai as expected the peanuts were roasted and yummy. A nice amount of sauce so delicious. read more

This is my favorite Thai spot hands down they have the best Pad Sew ew and spring rolls I wish they were open on Sundays but other than that the food is always great and great portion sizes. read more

I feel compelled to give them 2 stars but the food was good enough to encourage a return so 3 stars it is. I ordered the seafood curry #18. If you are familiar with this dish practically everywhere I have been when ordered to go this comes in a soup like container. Here it did not and made for a BIG mess when I finally got to work. This place isn't that far from my work but far enough for it to warrant a well packaged to go order. The flavor was just ok. Nothing over the top and it didn't knock my socks off either. I had more bamboo shoots than I did seafood. I do wish it would have had a bit more scallops and shrimp than it did-- so the ratio would have been 60/40. I could live with that. This dish comes with steamed white rice, which I did not eat. I also ordered the crab rolls. These were good, definitely better than an egg roll. I did call the restaurant to inform them of their ill packaged to go order and the young lady said they would take note. On their menu it states VERY boldly "NO REFUNDS OR SUBSTITUTIONS". Not something that leaves a good taste in my mouth seeing as though restaurants should offer substitutions when there is the need for it. As well as discounted price for a bad meal. But that is my opinion. Over all I would order to go here again but would give instruction on how to package my meal to make for a less messy meal. read more

Awesome food every time never been disapointed freindly service great tasting food ,10 stars like like like go there get ya some !

I've purchased takeout here a couple times. The first time I ordered chicken pad Thai (medium spice) and crispy rolls. My boyfriend ordered drunken noodles (mild spice) and chicken wings. I wasn't impressed with the pad Thai and I would prefer to drive further away to Thai delight for pad Thai. I was extremely disappointed with the crispy rolls because they were undercooked and not crispy in the least, there was no color on them whatsoever. The drunken noodles were actually the best I've ever had though and the chicken wings were pretty good as well. The second time I ordered I got the drunken noodles because they were so good the first time! Sorely disappointed to realize they don't taste anything like the first time I had them. I got another order of crispy rolls thinking it was probably a fluke that they weren't cooked correctly. No, I was very wrong. The second set was actually burned almost completely burned. Obviously, they didn't taste very good. In short for my experience it's not consistent and I'd rather drive further than eat bad food. Probably won't be back anytime soon. read more

Ok, this place surprised me. In a good way. I'm always afraid to try little places in dingy strip malls, but I'm glad that I did. Nothing fancy here, but it's clean and simple. The food.. Well, you know how when you're eating something, and you don't want to stop eating it because it tastes so good - even though your stomach is screaming "NO MORE"? Yeah, that happened. Had the "crabmeat" rolls, which were your basic spring roll, with fake crab, served with sweet/sour dipping sauce. They were ok, but like I said, basic. The pad ped with shrimp was delicious. That's what I couldn't stop eating (and still had more to bring home!), because it was almost perfect - but not up to spice. I ordered "medium" and calling it mild plus would be a stretch. But, still good. I'll just order it spicier next time. Also had Thai iced tea - it was great, but would have preferred it in a glass, rather than a styrofoam cup. Same for the yummy shrimp chips - it would be nice to serve them in a basket for people dining in. Little things, but nothing that will prevent me from returning. read more

Lil Thai Express - Pad garlic with chicken - amazing! - Thai Near Me - Clinton Township, Michigan

AMAZING! Best Thai food I've had in the area. The food is delicious and very flavorful. Just the right amount of spice (I get medium). I will definitely be ordering from them at least once a month. My boyfriend even commented on how this is one of the best Thai food he has had before. He doesn't really care about food itself, food is fuel to him. I'm looking forward to trying other items on the menu. read more

I'm conflicted in my review because this is not one of my favorite Thai places their curries are all very sweet and have basically no spice. I've tried this place three times now the crab Rangoon's are amazing. And my boyfriend thinks they have the best potato curry but all their food is very sweet to me read more

Order anything off of their menu... and it's the most delicious thing! Their speed is impeccable. All employees are extremely sweet. I LOVE SHRIMP CHIPS read more

Very tasty food!!! The husband loves the curry fried rice and the pad Thai never fails

Best Thai food on this side of town. They are consistently good and you can rely on their spice levels. Give you lots, a great deal for your $. Spring rolls are soggy but taste good. Pad Thai is great with lots of sauce and peanuts. Gang Dang is delicious with lots of veggies, chicken and sauce. Could probably use a larger rice portion with that. A+ read more

Ordered delivery - Shrimp Pad Thai and Crab Rangoon. The Pad Thai was spilled all over the bag and the taste was subpar at best. Barely any flavor. The shrimp were rubbery and fishy tasting. The Crab Rangoon was soggy and greasy. There was quite a bit of carrot in them which was unusual. I gave 2 stars instead of 1 because my order was correct and edible. read more

For not having thai in a couple years, this place was really good. Everything made is fresh and flavorful, the food comes really fast , and the portions are huge for what you pay for. The staff is very kind and patient with you , and they try to make everything for you as easy to say as possible. A nice menu, and plenty of options for almost anyone who enjoys thai. read more

Prolly not a lot of Thai to choose from around here, so I thought I'd give the diminunatively named Lil Thai Express a shot. Doesn't look like much from the outside, set in a dumpy strip mall with garish neon signs and a bumpy parking lot. The grease cloud that welcomed me didn't seem to bode well either, but the joint still seemed to serve up some pretty swell Pad Thai, though. The beef was a little tough (that's what I get for not trusting their shrimp on my maiden voyage) and the "hot" spice setting was less than challenging to my midwestern pallette, but that pad Thai did hit the spot nonetheless. The egg was yummy and the noodles had just the right consistency. Lil' Thai has a whole bunch of magazines up front for patrons to peruse, too. I looked through a Time with the 100 Most Influential People while I was there. The service is prompt and friendly as well. Plus the orange painted walls have some deliciously tacky and outlandish paintings adorning them. Not a bad lil' hole in the wall. read more

Actually, surprisingly good. Not a fancy place, but service was friendly. They did post gluten free options, and their serving portion was quite large. We went on a Saturday at lunch, and the only disappointment was we were told that they do not offer lunch prices/sizes on the weekend. Spice level was on the high side, so, keep that in mind when ordering. But, we would go again. read more

Great Thai! Large portions, friendly service, clean and reasonably priced. Had the Chicken Pad Thai and actually split the dish, with plenty for two! :) I'd go back in a heart beat! read more
