    Chicken peanut something with no green pepper which was substituted with green beans
    DJ C.

    The place is a bit run down but the food makes up for the lack of decorum. The seating was dated but functional. Our waiter was good at getting our food out but the interaction was minimal. Not unpleasant but just very business wise. The food was good and was enough to make you full, so I don't know how much more you could ask. I asked for no green pepper with my chicken and peanut curry dish and they graciously added green beans to the plate. The flavor was good and the chicken was tender and plentiful. I ordered the pork spring roll and kind of regretted not getting the vegetable spring roll. I am not sure I would go back but it's worth a try if you're craving some Thai while in the area.

    Massaman Curry + Thai Iced Tea

    I was really craving Massaman and they didn't have it on their menu, but I asked the waitstaff and he said they make it if we ask about it. I was SO HAPPY that they were able to make it for me, and they made me Thai tea. 10/10 I will definitely be back! Note: both items are absolutely phenomenal!

    N5 Peanut Curry Noodle, mild

    Maybe the best Thai food around. My wife and I both enjoyed the service and our food. The restaurant could use updating. Both of our dinners were great! We highly recommend it.

    Drunken noodles w chicken

    I ordered my usual thai order here and wasn't that impressed. Drunken Noodles with Chicken and a Thai Tea. The Thai tea wasnt made fresh, and I had a feeling the chicken wasnt either. The chicken had a weird taste to it, and the thai tea came in a can. The noodles and veggies were good though, so I just steered clear of the chicken. We ordered the dumplings, which were freshly fried. They brought us out complimentary veggie soup, which was nice. The service was good, but it seems like they cut quality to save money to their detriment.

    Came in with my coworkers for lunch on Friday for the first time. Located in downtown howell, this place is a gem! Service was quick and friendly. And they offered complimentary soup for everyone. It has chicken tho, I wish they had vegetarian options but that's okay. When ordering, our waiter told us that they use fresh chili's to cook with their food so the level of spice is hotter than usual. I usually order hot so I decided to go with medium. I ordered the pineapple fried rice with no peas and carrots. It actually had curry in it which was a nice kick. From a spice level perspective, it was spicy but I could have gotten hot and still been okay. I really love spice. Next time I want to try the drunken noodles. Can't wait to be back.

    Chicken Pad Thai (Mild-plus)
    Jeff R.

    After three prior failed attempts to dine here, my wife and I finally succeeded at having dinner at the Thai Cafe, last night. Be advised: Being a family owned and operated business this place is closed on holidays and for a week or two during the Summer vacation season. Call ahead if not local. After reading recent reviews I had my doubts about going here in fear that the food and service would be subpar. However this was NOT the case as the wait staff and food was wonderful. I'm a 52 year old professional who's eaten thousands of Thai meals at various restaurants through metropolitan Detroit and I'm going to make a lofty claim. "Best Thai food ever!" My wife had chicken fried rice and I opted for the Chicken Pad Thai. It was so freaking delicious that just thinking about it makes me want to go back right now. Heat Warning - Heed this advice! Both me and my wife order our Thai food either medium-plus or hot depending on the place. Here, the waitress strongly cautioned us against this saying it would be too hot. My pride wanted to disregard her warning but we gave in and opted for Mild-plus, and when the food came, we were thankful for her words of caution. HOT, damn hot! Definitely at the "hot" level served at other local Thai kitchens. I'm not sure they understand the definition of "mild", because this food was anything but that. Being that we enjoy a standard hot-level spice we were okay, but please listen to your server or you'll be unable to eat your food. The only reason for deducing a star is because the place needs a good cleaning. The eating area is fine but the front and rear entrances are filthy and I don't think the walls or doors have been wiped down in years. Consider bringing some hand sanitizer if this bothers you.
