Bangkok Express Cafe - Southfield (MI)

5 /5 Bryce Hinton: This place is awesome. Good portion size, tasted great, friendly service upon order pickup. & thank you for being the only Thai restaurant I’ve been to that puts aluminum foil in the carton to stop it from melting the foam! 10/10 will be back.

5 /5 PurpleRaye: I recently made my first visit back to Bangkok Express in quite some time, and it was a nostalgic trip down memory lane! This place used to be one of my go-to spots to take my Aunt Bertha in between her doctor visits and physical therapy sessions, and it holds a special place in my heart as we approach a year since her transition. We always ordered the sweet-and-sour shrimp (no heat), adding extra onions and shrimp for that burst of flavor! Walking into the restaurant, I noticed they’re still operating with the COVID-style wrap and cover, so theres no dining in anymore, which was a bit disappointing. However, the warm welcome from the family that runs the place made up for it. They were incredibly friendly, and it felt great to see familiar faces. The food was just as delicious as I remembered! While chatting with a couple who were visiting for the first time, I was happy to share my recommendations. I’m glad I could provide them with an accurate review based on my past experiences. Overall, I had a wonderful time at Bangkok Express, and I look forward to returning again soon. It’s a great spot for anyone looking for tasty Thai food and a friendly atmosphere!

3 /5 Vidhyesh Balasubramaniam: Food was ok. Seemed like home made Thai place for a quick fix. Only carry outs available. Not much of a restaurant any more. The lady taking the orders seemed nice.

5 /5 Jake D: Best fried rice ive ever had. We moved a little far away from this place and every thai resturaunt I go to I hope and pray its somewhat comparable. Nothing ever is. Hands down best fried rice ive ever had.

3 /5 Harold PK: First off, Im of Thai ethnicity. The food is good. The staff is friendly. Bangkok Express is a perfect example of Thai food modified for a wider reach audience. Im sure you can find a few places like this within the fabric of actual Thai neighborhoods, however rare. Its the execution thats different. I got a lunch special and I was pleased with the serving size and the side soup...great value! Ive steered clear of this place for years because it never lured me in. It looks like a very typical, semi run down plaza restaurant. They have no dining-in despite having many tables. Its decent inside but feel abandoned (ceiling tiles show water staining/rust); perhaps its a staffing issues. Not sure. Ive reviewed other similar type of Thai restaurants, which I thought I would have disappointed, but was blown away with quality. For this place and the one dish that I sampled I felt it was about on par with a typical shopping malls food court. You know, perfectly fine, but youre not writing home about it or intently recommending it. I happen to pass by this place because it was close and hungry. Looking for something quick and a good value check them out. I was surprised their menu had a rather deep selection more in line with a higher end place, for example duck. Perhaps Ill try it again in the future. For the interim I say 3 stars because its in the middle of the road.
