worst thai resturaunt

by msashraf at Citysearch

this is the worst thai resturaunt i have ever been to. I went there after reading all the good reviews and I was shocked when i ate there. I wonder how could people give it 5 star rating . May those who rated it 5 have not really been to an authentic thai resturaunt and dont know how thai cusine is supposed to be . Very linited choice. I went there in a group of 6 people and all of us ordered different dish . But once we were served we felt that all of us got the same thing with different sauces. I ordered vegetable and tofu in basil curry. But what I got was green pepper and tofu in soy sauce. There was no hint of basil in it at all. Another friend ordered shrimp and vegeatable in yellow curry and he also got green pepper and shrimp in sauce. It appeared to us that we were all served green pepper with either tofu, chicken or shrimp in different sauce. All the dishes were lacking the authentic thai aroma. I am very very disappointed and would never go there again.

• Pros: none
• Cons: un-authentic thai

I Don't Get It

by tflucht at Citysearch

I've driven past this spot for years, never stopping to try. It's not the most appealing location. However, after reading a number of positive reviews, I decided to stop in. I really like Thai food, and enjoy a couple of other restaurants in Dearborn, so I had some immediate comparison. In short, I don't really understand the fuss. I eat Thai a couple of times a month, and this is pretty ordinary. It's not bad, but it's not that good, either. It's just average, and that's how I rated it. Maybe I caught them on a bad day, but I'll stick with Thai Palace.

• Pros: Meh
• Cons: Better Thai restaurants around

Excellent Thai Food

by ScottPride at Citysearch

I have been to many Thai restaurants and this is the best one I have been to so far. The waitstaff are efficient, the owners are gracious and the food is excellent! The Tom Yom soup is very good and spring rolls are good for starters. For my entree, I have a few favorites: Thai Steak is very thin strips of tender beef with vegetables and a brown sauce; Shrimp Pad Thai--shrimp with egg and noodles; Bangkok Seafood Combo--a very flavorful dish which has red snapper, squid, shrimp, imitation crab, scallops with mushrooms, chinese vegetables and transparent noodles.; Beef Pad Se' Ewew which is beef, broccolli and noodles covered with a brown sauce. Oh, by the way, be sure you know how spicy you can take it here. If you are not sure, get it mild and add spice (which they have on each table) to your taste. They have spiciness from mild to very hot! There are a few more dishes to name here but I am getting hungry now.....I think Thai food is a go for lunch.

• Pros: Excellent food, great service
• Cons: None

Pretty good for the money

by 277mike at Citysearch

Pros:The portions are large, and the food tastes pretty good. N1 and N2 are great.

Cons: The chicken isn't always trimmed the best though, excess fat. The decor is dated, and the booths are uncomfortable.

Lunch is busy, so I try to go later at night. Service is usually pretty good, but on occasion, they do disapear.

• Pros: Food, both quantity and quality
• Cons: Decor, service, location

The Place for Authentic Thai Food

by littlelenda at Citysearch

Bangkok 96 is awesome. I've been going there for years... so has my entire family. The food is excellent!! The Pad Thai is out of this world!!! Actually, everything I've ever tried at Bangkok 96 has been excellent! Genevive, the owner, is a great person and always finds time to come out and socialize with her customers!! This Restaurant is highly recommended!! Two Thumbs UP!!

Good Place for Thai Food

by rpotter at Citysearch

The waitresses are typically dressed in traditional clothing which gives a nice touch to the experience. I agree with the other reviewers, it is best to go around lunch time but be prepared to wait. The portions are large and if you order a dish hot make sure water is close at hand. My favorite dish is the chicken pad thai, extra sauce, and lemon. My only complaint is the soup. I dislike mushrooms and all the soups I have seen offered when I was there contained them. You will be taking a container of food home so if you are not one with a large appetite you could share a dish.

• Pros: Pleasant Atmosphere, Tasty Food
• Cons: parking can be tight, On very bust road
