    Sy Thai has become my go-to spot for Thai food in Troy. The flavors are bold, fresh, and exactly what you want when you're craving something comforting but still packed with heat. My table ordered the Pad Thai (medium spice), and it hit that perfect balance of sweet and savory. The Vegetable Curry was the real standout -- creamy, rich, and full of bright flavor with veggies that actually taste fresh. The portions are very generous! Yes to leftovers! The service is consistently friendly, quick, and attentive. Even during busy times, food comes out fast and hot. The atmosphere is minimalist and clean with odd pop remix music in the background. Prices are fair, portions are great, and the food is reliably delicious. If you are passing through Big Beaver and craving Thai, Sy Thai is absolutely worth a stop!

    Pineapple fried rice
    Amy C.

    Stopped in for lunch on a recommendation from a co-worker & I'm not sure why this place doesn't have higher reviews. It has a modern look inside with very roomy booths. We were greeted immediately and brought waters along with prawn crackers, something I've never come across before. They are kind of like hull-less popcorn or styrofoam, but somehow a little addictive... I ordered the pineapple curry fried rice. Since it was my first visit, I went with mild. It came with a cup soup which I definitely enjoyed since it was a bit chilly. The fried rice had very good flavor and next time I will add some heat. Portions were plentiful, I took quite a bit home. Next time I'd like Thai, this will be at the top of my list!

    Curry Fish - Crispy Red Snapper
    Holly N.

    I love the complimentary soup and shrimp chips they serve when you dine in. The Red Snapper Curry Fish is phenomenal! 10/10!! I enjoy everything I tried on menu except for their Pad Thai. I ordered it once for carryout and it was horrible. It was extremely salty and all the noodles were clumped together because there wasn't enough sauce. I'm so glad that I gave them another chance because the curries and appetizers have never disappointed me. Service here is attentive even when it's crowded and the food always comes out piping hot. Portions are generous and you always will have leftovers. Gluten Free and vegan options are clearly marked on the menu to make ordering easy for those with dietary restrictions. My only complaints are they don't serve papaya salad and spice levels can be inconsistent. I recommend ordering a lower spice level than you normally would. It's one of the few Thai restaurants that I know of in Troy that have that serve alcohol. I took a snap shot of their unique cocktail list below. If you still have room at the end of your meal try the mango or coconut ice cream! It's delicious!

    Our group visited Sy Thai following mass on Christmas Eve. We were treated with prompt wonderful friendly service for a group of eight. Potstickers and fried rice were enjoyable appetizers of many choices. I ate everything on my plate of the seafood combination in brown sauce that I enjoyed.

    Stopped in on a weekday around 7pm. Place was semi full, but I was seated right away and my server was great! She was very attentive and helped me pick out a curry. She brought our shrimp chips and water to start and the my soup and pop. I ordered the red curry, added coconut milk and eggplant with steamed tofu. It was delicious! Dish came out piping hot and very tasty. Ambiance is nice as well. It's one of the nicer Thai restaurants in the are

    Came here on a late Saturday evening. , there were a few diners. I ordered the egg noodles with chicken medium spice and a rice dish with Brown sauce with water chestnuts (forgotten name - pad prik?). Both tasted pretty good. The spice was not overpowering at all.Medium spice did not taste spicy.So I had to ask for extra hot sauce which they honored. In terms of quantity and value, they don't give too much for the price they charge, which is usually $16 to 17$ to $18, depending on the protein that you get. As you can see, the egg noodles, there is barely any chicken. In terms of the service, it was not good. My waitress came back to my table and asked if I was ready multiple times when she found out that I had a question or asked about a menu item, she immediately left saying she'll give me more time. She seemed annoyed. And did not have the patience to answer my questions. Quantity was reasonable. But you do pay the price for it, so value was average. They do allow for preferences and customization, such as no M s g or light sauce or light sodium. I might just get takeout next time.

    Pad Thai lunch ($13)
    Hannah M.

    Ordered for lunch yesterday and got the pad Thai with chicken. Lunch is $13 and dinner is $16.50. It's not clear from the menu whether the lunch size is smaller or just discounted, but the portion was plenty big and could even be shared if you're not that hungry. Noodles were good and I liked the sauce. You can choose your spice level and I opted for mild+ (I have a good spice tolerance, I just don't like my pad Thai to have too much heat). There was a minimal kick and I would say mild+ was accurate. The chicken was tender but something was off about it. It was almost as if it had been boiled and thrown into the pad Thai after instead of being cooked with it. It was very pale and again, just kinda missing flavor. There was a decent amount of it in the dish, though, they certainly weren't stingy with the protein. I would order again but I'd probably get the beef or veggie/tofu.

    Sy's Fried Rice Dinner Thai Iced Tea Pad Thai Dinner
    Jann D.

    I ordered the Pad Thai Dinner (beef and mild), Sy's Fried Rice Dinner, and Thai Iced Tea food for delivery and everything came including the utensils and straw. Everything tasted good especially the curry rice!

    Tammy D.

    This visit was disappointing. A pork noodle dish didn't have pork but chicken. The pad prik dish was supposed to be medium hot but it was much hotter. Our wait staff must have had something else going on because she disappeared. We waited for a water refill. I got up to get help so we could cash out. The restaurant wasn't closing and it wasn't busy either. We will be back but it might take a while. A noodle dish with chicken instead of pork is not shown.

First time here, I chose 2 dishes to try - T5 Gra Pow Moo Krob (spicy crispy pork with basil) and SF8 Pad Prik Khing (chicken with green beans) - both absolutely delicious and so fresh! I also got spring rolls and hot and sour soup, both of which were pretty good. The chef Ta was so nice, she heard I never had Gra Pow Moo Krob and wanted to know what I thought of it. She explained that it's a popular street food in Thailand, people go up to the carts and eat this specific dish. I thought it was such a nice touch that she wanted to check in with me as it was my first time dining there. I told her the Pad Prik Khing she made was the best I'd ever had, while the Gra Pow Moo Krob was definitely going on my list of favorite dishes. Second time here, my fiancé and I got N1 Chicken Pad Thai and T4 Khana Moo Krob (crispy pork with broccoli and kale) - both dishes were refreshing, light, and cooked perfectly. Each came with soup again but we switched out Hot and Sour for the Chicken Tom Yum, which was very good! Honestly, this had to be the best Pad Thai we've had here in Michigan. We gave our compliments to the chef as we finished our meal. The decorations are minimalist and I think the tables come from a Joe's Crab Shack - it's fun to read the blurbs on each one. If you're thinking of stopping by, save me a seat because I hope this restaurant becomes busy but not packed as I need my weekly fix!

I love this place, the staff is always so friendly and have often popped out with my take out to my car.

We love the pad Thai with tofu for the kids and we go back and forth with curries and noodle dishes ourselves. Spice level here is standard and you can get it on the side if you're so inclined which is nice to amp it up on your own terms. Crab rangoons are still the best here with the green onion really perking up the cream cheese inside. Can't go wrong with any of the dishes. The community know about this place now so wait times are a little closer to 25-30 min during peak dinner times so plan accordingly for take out. They do have a small indoor seating area with a couple tables and bar seating but this is mostly a take out restaurant. Enjoy!
