This is the best place for Thai food that I've found in Royal Oak. Service is always quick and friendly and the food is consistent and generous portions. Typically I got takeout but there is some seating inside too! read more

Ordered delivery. It's... ok? I guess. It's not bad but apparently "no spice" means "no flavor". Might be the most bland Thai food I've ever had. The chicken is LITERALLY plain. Not a touch of any seasoning, not even salt or pepper (will include picture). Also the crab rangoons are soggy for some reason, I'm assuming old and reheated. I changed my review from 3 to 2 stars while writing this read more

SHINthai - Pad that with undercooked and absolutely no seasoning on it chicken. - Thai Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

The Pad Thai is excellent, and the people working there are so kind! Glad to have them in our neighborhood.

Came here on a Saturday for dine in and ordered drunken noodle medium spice and green curry with beef in mild spice. The drunken noodle was decent but lacked the depth of flavor a more authentic Thai place would offer in a places like NYC or SoCal. I still give it some props for effort since we are in Michigan and it's probably good enough for the area. The green curry was a bit of a disappointment however because the beef was hard like a rock. It was very stiff as if it was old or over cooked. The curry flavor was a bit weak. The white rice was cooked perfectly. I don't like leaving food behind and usually always take leftovers to go but I left a quarter of the dish behind which breaks my heart as I grew up learning never to waste food. The Tom yum soup needed a little more vinegar and again lacked a depth of flavor. The fried spring rolls were ok. Food portions were very generous but this place isn't cheap eats by any means. The thai iced tea was not as sweet as they didn't use condensed milk. Instead they used half and half creamer (I saw them make it). It still tasted good and I drank it all but again speaks to the authenticity level. This place is usually popular for take out as you can see most of the pictures on Yelp are takeout containers. And I saw many customers come pick up take out during out 1 hour there. The service was prompt and courteous. Staffed by 2 high school aged Caucasian boys upfront with Asian cooks in the back. They were attentive and polite so 5 stars for the service. Unfortunately gonna have to give 3 stars for the overcooked beef and authenticity level which was palpable in the flavors. Would I come back? Probably because lack of Thai choices here in Michigan. The other place I loved closed down during Covid. read more

This place left much to be desired. I ordered lunch from here today consisting of: chicken pad Thai, drunken noodles with chicken, chicken curry fried rice and crab rangoons. The crab rangoons were good but not really comparable to other places. The shape is different but the "weird" part was the exterior wrapping. While crispy, it was really thick almost like a thicken eggroll wrapper. The pad Thai tasted absolutely nothing like pad Thai and was funky overall. The curry fried rice was the same. The flavor was just weird and not like any I've tried from Thai places. The drunken noodles were the best of all of the meals but even being the best, I still wouldn't order that again. The dish was more peppers than noodles but the flavor was average. Overall much better Thai places around I wouldn't order from here again. read more

Very cute location and customer service is great and there thai coffee was very good

This place has become a repeat visit several times over for my wife and I. Consistently good food, generous portions, and quick / friendly staff. Whenever we're not sure what we want to eat (which is often) this is typically where we go and it's always exactly what we want! Love the fried rice, satay, and spring rolls! read more

A good thai option! We got carry out dinner here, Pad Thai with Shrimp and Pad Von See with chicken. The Pad Thai was good, not overloaded with veggies but I do with there was a few more. The hot and sour soup wasn't very good and a bit small. The Von See had a lot of chicken and was really good! The service was pretty quick and the interior was small and cozy- looks like a nice little place to eat in. Overall, there's some good options here! read more

Was hoping for much better. We got chicken pad Thai, and chicken & shrimp see iew and two spring rolls. Both dishes lacked much flavor and the noodles were very dry sticky. Won't be coming back to try any other dishes. read more

Everything is great, I love drunken noodles and pad Thai with tofu. I haven't had much else.

Only rating for takeout. I placed a doordash pick-up order. It's rare that restaurants mark their gluten-free items on the Doordash app, but they did and I was very grateful for it. I was happy with my Pad Ped. My picky kids both enjoyed their meals - the Drunken Noodles and Pad Thai. This is a standard Thai food menu. Flavor and large portion sizes are all up to par with other local favorites, but the price might be slightly higher just due to the location. read more

The food is delicious and orders are accurate. Always order carry out, and it's ready on time.

Amazing! Staff was very nice and attentive. Food was fantastic, not too salty. Came out super quick. Portions are big and I am excited for my leftovers! Restaurant itself is pretty small. There's outdoor seating. Can't wait to order again. read more

I've ordered from here four or five times over the last couple years - usually when our other go-tos are closed - and WHEN will I learn? Food never has good flavor; portions are smaller than the competition/prices are slightly higher; and it always seems like things have been sitting around a while (noodles and vegetables are super soggy, etc.) I've tried and tried but it's just not gonna work for me. read more

I love SHINthai. I would say it's become my favorite Thai place in the area (but I haven't tried them all ...yet)! When dining in, I thought the restaurant was clean and we didn't have trouble seating a fairly large party inside. I have ordered takeout for dinner from SHINthai more often than I have dined in, though - especially lately with the Stay at Home order. They do a great job of getting takeout orders ready quickly and package them well so they're still hot and fresh when you get home! I love the pad thai, of course, but another of my favorites is the peanut curry. The peanut flavor is delicious, and I always think the vegetables in the dish are fresh and cooked well. Spice levels can be inconsistent, though - if you're someone who really wants that spiciness, it can be hit or miss. For example, last time we ordered, my Medium-spice peanut curry had no discernible spice, but the Medium-spice pad thai we ordered at the same time had a really good kick. The flavor of the peanut curry was still excellent, but I did miss the spiciness. Overall, though, definitely recommend SHINthai! read more

SHINthai - Peanut Curry with steamed tofu (dinner portion) - Thai Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

The food is good and typical of most Thai restaurants. The ambience is a mix of traditional and modern, but most importantly clean and the temp was warm enough not to freeze while dining inside fThe orders are served lightning fast. The only problem I had is that while at a table by myself with one other table of guests in the restaurant, the wait staff asked the other table if everything was ok and never bothered once to check on me as though I was not dining in as well. It may not have felt as disappointing if there had been more than one other table dining in the restaurant at the time. Plus, the carryout orders were not busy at this time either. These little things make a big difference as to whether customers leave tips, return to an establishment, or even take an order to go after eating inside. I often will order something to take home...but I didn't this time. I will probably return but I think that this is a reminder that all guests should be treated with the same dignity and respect. I won't suggest that the disparate treatment was for any other reason but poor customer service although it is a thought that crosses my mind considering the difference in background between me and the other table. read more

I was in the area and had a hankering for Thai food. I was going to order a carry out but decided to dine in instead. I ordered Shrimp Pad Thai. Everything was made fresh and piping hot! I like a side of peanut sauce with my Pad Thai. I like to eat with chopsticks whenever I have the opportunity. This is probably why I noticed one of my shrimp hadn't been deveined before they cooked it. I let them know and they made me another order fresh right away. The chef bought out my food and apologized for the error. The food is tasty and the mild was just the right amount of spice. I like it better than Bangkok. Bangkok's Pad Thai is usually dry. The Pad Thai here was complimented by the peanut sauce but it didn't need it. It was very saucy! The portions are also nice for the price. I'd definitely come back. PS...they even have vegan options!!! read more

SHINthai is solid, certainly an easy go-to for Thai in Royal Oak that I frequent. Their Drunken Noodles are my usual choice; delicious, very flavorful with plenty of peppers and chicken. Definitely a sizable dish that can be shared if you don't need leftovers. We tried the breaded sesame chicken as well, but it wasn't my favorite. I loved the vegetables in it, but the sauce was a little watered down and the breading was soggy. Friendly staff, always within the time they quote. read more

I think I've found my new favorite place. I love a good saucy pad Thai and this place is it. Great flavors, great amount of garnish, and heavy on the portions. Hot & sour soup could use some work but it's not bad. The crab Rangoons are slightly disappointing but also tolerable. The pad Thai is what keeps me coming back for more read more

Definitely try the drunken noodles & the Thai chili chicken wings! Really good, quick Thai cuisine...It's like the subway of Thai food, but in a good way. You can adjust your dish just how you'd like it. No complaints about service. Everyone is polite, welcoming, and friendly. Location is clean and convenient for dining in when you're on a time crunch. Food is prepared fast and served hot. read more

I decided to give this place another shot and have come to the conclusion that I will not be back. I ordered through DoorDash and wrote in all caps that I ordered shrimp. My order was correct, but I wish they had forgotten to add the shrimp. It was disgusting. I tried one and it tasted like I just drank sea water. I spit it out. I then removed all of the shrimp. It was so gross. The noodles were severely overcooked this time and there was wayyyy too much salt this time on the noodles too. It could've been because of how grossly salty the shrimp was. My mouth is so salty is disgusted. The noodles were good last time, but they messed up my order. This time nothing was good except for the fact that my order was right. The noodles and especially the shrimp are inedible. Soooo salty I might as well just go catch shrimp in the ocean and eat it raw, it would probably have less salt. They also had huge chunks of garlic that they didn't have last time. read more

First time here based on very many Google and yelp reviews. From placing the order to pick-up was a total of about 5 minutes. I had to call the restaurant to confirm as I couldn't believe it. Well 5 minutes later, I arrive home with $40+ dollars of food that was, dare I say, worse than local buffet food. The worst offender was the Pad Thai. The noodles were sopping wet and completely fell apart the moment you picked it up with chopsticks. They had no recognizable texture or firmness and the flavor was basically soy sauce and a heavy serving of sugar. This food basically ruined dinner tonight. Gonna go buy instant noodles since I know exactly what I can expect from it every single time. read more

Solid option in our carry-out rotation. Our go-to dishes are the Kra Prow (nice black pepper sauce), the Prik Khing (tasty chili green beans), and the Jalo-Bang Chicken (breaded in a sweet sauce with a drizzle of spicy mayo). read more

My favorite Thai in Royal Oak but it deviates from a more strictly Thai menu. Wish they were open more hours and did soup at dinner. Nice people. read more

This is my go-to for thai food in the Royal Oak area. Unlike other places, they're very consistent with their spice levels (I usually go with medium+ or hot depending on my mood). They're very quick (food usually ready in 15 minutes), everything tastes fresh, and their portions are generous. Last, they've done a great job at making the place feel very clean during this pandemic. I've ordered it a few times during the past few months and never felt unsafe when going in to pick up my food. read more

Food was good and was ready when I went to pick it up. Why not a 5 star rating? Not sure the 'value' was there as they are on the pricy side of the scale - think going to MH (Sunrise) could save you a few bucks for the same quality. Parking is an issue - seems everyone parks in the credit union lot. If they (CU) every figures out how to close it (and I am a customer of the CU) it would impact my business. read more

Best Thai place in town, been a client for years and food is always constantly delicious. Once a month we have lunch take out for all OMA Comp's employees and it has been a hit for years.

Very good Thai food, and the people working there are always nice. Some dishes are better than others, but overall it's tasty. Their spring rolls could use a little work, and spice levels and the quality of the dishes vary quite a bit depending on who's cooking, but we generally enjoy it. Some of our favorites include the tofu with string beans, the pad prik, and the spicy beef. read more

the best Thai food takeout in Royal Oak and in the metro Detroit area. My wife and I have tried hundreds of thai restaurants all over the country and we eat here at least twice a month. that is as big a compliment as I could give. Their Penang curry is the best ive ever had. I love meat and yet I only ever get fried tofu because it's the best fried tofu of any asian restaurant. Must try even for meat lovers. read more

First off, I was craving some drunken noodles sooo bad. So, what did I do? You guessed it, I went on to Yelp and typed in drunken noodle. Upon my options was SHINthai, and it was super close, so SHINthai won. I gave them a ring and a pleasant lady answered the phone and took my order. "One drunken noodle please, with added vegetables and medium heat." Done and Done. I was told 15 minutes, the standard most places give you for a carry out, but I arrived there in 5 minutes and waited in my car for another 5. Then I decided to go in and was greeted by the young lady at the register. She was like the "drunken noodles ", yep that's me! Then I was told they are giving out rolls of toilet paper, which is kind of them during this time. On to those noodles! They were sooo yummy! Definitely recommend the drunken noodles with added veggies. I also ordered them with medium heat, but next time I will try the mild. Overall lovely experience, so support this business! Total: 12.00 and some change read more

OK, I'm updating, now. And that super-runny sauce? I don't want to defend it anymore. It's not just runny...it's *watered down*. Why's that a problem? Because the *flavor* just isn't there, where it needs to be. I mean, heck: I ordered my spice level Medium-plus, and it was *still* darned near flavorless, or at least close to it. Pretty low standard for a red coconut milk curry sauce, if you ask me. I can take-or-leave the heat level thing...that just isn't that important to me. But the *flavor* of the red coconut milk curry sauce *must* be stronger...it needs more real flavor, here. Stop quite literally adding so much water to this sauce. You're hurting yourselves, here. I still like the way that they prepare their chicken and vegetables for the most part, though! Most of the veggies were crisp and bright, and made me happy! The chicken was fine...but again: the sauce needs to SPEAK UP FOR ITSELF!!!! I added eggplant as an upcharge, and oddly: it was my least favorite vegetable in the entree. Way overdone, and flaccid. Not like the carrots, the broccoli, etc. And I don't recall any Thai basil... Functional in a pinch, but you really can't continue with the weakness of the sauces...that's gotta stop. Portion sizes still seem fair, veggies (minus the eggplant) were very nice, rice was fine...but that sauce is just *begging* for you to stop abusing the ever-living crap out of it! I want more Thai flavor than the sauce can currently provide, no matter *what* heat level is given. That shouldn't be too hard to provide. read more

We go there for carry out. Quick service, generous portions, good food. Definitely recommend.

I don't know how this place does it but when you order, your food is ready and literally under 10 minutes. And it's delicious every single time. I live near downtown Royal Oak and have the ability to get to shintai very quickly to pick up my orders and it used to be on hit the submit button and then wait around for a few minutes before jumping in the car. Lately, Ive created a challenge for them; when I hit the submit button I immediately leave my home and quickly but safely drive downtown park nearby and by the time I open the door it is ready every single time. The food has always been very good, the service is great and for the price the portions are good sized and fair. read more
