Customer Reviews

Wow. This place blew my mind and dominated my taste buds. I was passing through the area and had a craving for some sort of peanut chicken dish, and this was the only thing that popped up, so I went for it, and was very impressed. I placed a to-go order for the peanut noodles with chicken, and a side of chicken dumplings. The flavors, texture and quality was out of this world. The dumplings were very good, but next time, I would see if I could possibly get the sauce they were served in on the side. Might be better in a dine in experience, but the amount of sauce in the to-go box kind of overwhelmed the dumplings as a whole, and kept everything piping hot. Speaking of heat... one issue I often have with restaurants, is that the food doesn't come out hot enough. That is not the case here. Both the dumplings and the noodles were insanely hot! I had to wait about 15 minutes before I could even take a bite. The freshness and heat was incredible. As for the peanut noodles... my gosh. The depth of flavor in the peanut sauce was divine. The sweetness of the coconut milk, blended with the chili peppers, and savory peanuts was unreal. And the noodles... so thick, and they sop up all the flavor of the sauce so well. The portion size was massive, which made me feel better about the price tag. The price wasn't high for the level of quality by any means. But knowing that I'm going to be getting three or four meals of it makes it even better. While I can't speak on the experience of dining in here, I was fascinated by the single table aspect. If I lived in the area, I would definitely reserve a table and get the dine in experience with friends or family. Since there is only one table, don't expect to walk in and be seated by a host. Definitely call ahead. The last thing I want to say is, when I arrived to up to pick up my order, I had to wait about five minutes, and in that time, I had the pleasure of overhearing the kitchen staff talking about ingredients and their cooking process. I could tell they were very passionate about what they make and serve there. It was obvious they care from the quality of the food by itself... but hearing them talk about this in a candid way really solidified it, and was quite charming. I wish I lived close enough to come back again, because my experience was so wonderful that I want to explore the rest of the menu to discover what other heavenly dishes the chefs have come up with. Thai Nation Bistro is without a doubt, the best Thai food I have had to date. It's going to be hard to find a place that can top this level of quality, quantity and flavor at any price level.

Without question the best Thai food I've had in Michigan. It's an unassuming spot, I'm not sure if they do reservations for special parties/table service, but the food here is exceptional and authentic. The spice level is varied and understood where other places kind of shrug and hope, and the difference in the dishes/flavors is wonderful. I can only suggest you try it (at least twice).

Honestly, the food is FANTASTIC! Not too thrilled about the ordering experience though. Having an actual sign inside with the menu options with help in the future. Other than that, my food tasted wonderful. I had the peanut noodles and crab cheese rangoons. The flavor profile checked every box. And you get a lot of bang for your buck.

I got chicken drunken noodle and it was delicious. As a Thai person, the taste was very authentic and the guy who helped me out, Zack (or Zach/Zac; unsure which spelling he preferred), was really kind! Amazing portions as well! I love it! Great atmosphere

Super knowledgeable owners. Service was above and beyond. One of the owners is a waiter also and knows a lot of stuff about Thailand. He gave us an appetizer called Dragon Skin. It was fried chicken trimmings with a light, sweet sauce and was delicious. We ordered spice level 4 but at that level of spice, even if you can handle it, it overpowers the taste of the food. Next time I would get and recommend spice level 3, regardless of how much spice you think you can handle. We ordered various stir fry dishes, larb, and the cabbage wraps. If you order entrees, I believe you get a simple vegetable soup which is amazing. 10/10

Best Thai Food ever!!!! I would recommend the crab rangoon, thai tea (red), stir fried orange sauce chicken, cashew nut stir fried chicken, stir fried garlic sauce chicken (so tender and yummy) and the pineapple fried rice. Everything is so good really. When my favorite Chinese food place closed I could not find anywhere that came close. But this place is amazing and the people who run it are so incredibly nice! It's a family run business and it takes them time to make your food because they make it fresh. But it's worth the wait! The food tastes incredible! It's my new favorite place to eat!
