Bai Mai Thai

I stopped in on a cold Monday night (yes they're opened on Mondays) after yoga. I just wanted a Tom Yum soup. The broth was vibrant, juicy and everything you expect in Thai. I had hot sake, but only because they were out of the Thai iced tea. The tea they sell is bottled and that turned me off. Plus they were out, which explains the 1 star deduction. I was surprised to walk in to a full bar and that had me wondering. Does this place get interesting on a Friday night? I imagine old Detroit - the folks who have lived in the neighborhood for generations (mostly black), meets the hipsters who moved in down the street in the last decade. Do they commingle here? I saw said hipsters leaving with carry out on my way in. Do they just dip in and scurry out? I wonder. Either way, the owners are a great, hardworking family who deserve your business. Give them a try. Sit at a booth. Stay a while.

I needed some half pans of different fried rice for my kickback. It was all good, the service did that upon my request and it was great.

Beautiful decorated interior. The aroma was so welcoming. This place has a busy and loyal following. The carry out was non stop. Service was quick and friendly. Food was perfect. Spice level was exactly what we asked for. Can't wait to try more !!

Had a takeout order that we picked up: it was well wrapped in plastic wrap to prevent spills and messes in the car. Pad Thai medium definitely had a kick, and a huge portion that I ended up splitting with my husband. But very few pieces of chicken, I ended up supplementing protein with some of our own leftovers.

I am so happy I finally got to dine in! Started with an order of the most crispy and delicious spring rolls. The table has chili sauce which went perfectly with the sweet sauce. For the main course I had the veggie curry which comes with tofu. So full of vegetables and ordered med spicy still made me sweat. It's a good thing our friendly server hooked us up with a carafe of water. Love the old school dark vibe. Looking forward to returning.

The food here is excellent. They prepare your food and cater to specific heat requests. They make sure the order is right and tastes great.

I have been searching Metro Detroit for my favorite Thai restaurant and I finally found it in Bai Mai Thai! The restaurant is in a strip mall on Lafayette - so convenient and free parking! It has a fun vibe, with ample seating and also a bar if you are so inclined. We ordered soup, spring rolls and two entrees. Our food was brought promptly by our friendly server and it was just perfect. We ordered our food medium spice and I will say it was perfect for our tastes, but if you shy away from heat I would order it mild. The soup was the best Tom Yum I have ever had in Detroit and both our dishes were fantastic. Our friends also really enjoyed their meals so we had 4 thumbs up from our table of four. My only problem is that they are so far away from me that I can't order carryout every week. When I am in the area I plan on going back. Sooo good!

Busy little place for lunch after circling Belle Isle. We all agreed the food was tasty and the portions were more than enough! If you like hot you can go all the way; my medium plus could have gone up a notch. Drunken noodles, tofu curry, spring rolls and tom yum were all great. Got pretty busy, nice tables and booths.

I ordered N2 paid Thai and and A1 spring roll online! The pad Thai was solid and service was very efficient

Went looking for a local Detroit Thai restaurant from work today for lunch and wasn't disappointed. I ordered the Coconut Fried Rice with chicken and medium plus spice. Portion was huge, price was great, and flavors were fantastic. Coconut is prevalent flavor with loads of chicken and two meals worth for sure. Heat was perfect if you like some spice without having your face blown off. Picture doesn't do it justice to see how much you get and just how flavorful this plate is. Well worth the stop, take out or delivery. Another little find in Detroit worth visiting more often now that I know about it.
