Thai Vylai

This review is only for takeout. My husband and coworkers dined in there yesterday, though, and he said waitservice was fast and friendly, with plenty of water refills, and the restaurant itself was very clean. He got me the Pad Cashew with chicken, very mild, per my request. I'm eating it now as I type this and it's very good. I'm also impressed at the amount of chicken it had, as well as mushrooms (I asked for mushrooms instead of bamboo). I opened up the takeout container for lunch today and it's a very good setup - it has rice on one side, then a barrier, the entree. I mostly get my Thai food from my area now (WB/Farmington/Novi) and they've been skimping on the large veggies (mushroom), chicken, and cashews lately - this place did not skimp on anything.They also provided a fork and a napkin in a plastic bag, which was also a smart gesture, assuming that one might be taking the takeout back to an office or somewhere they don't have a fork and napkin.My only TINY complaint is that the dish was a tad bit spicy for me, but my tastebuds have been weird lately, so that's probably on me.Overall, based on this experience, I would definitely do takeout again, or even dine in.

Thai Vylai is hands-down one of my favorite spots for amazing Thai food! Every dish I've tried here has been absolutely delicious--packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The staff is so friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. Located in Downriver Allen Park, it's in a pretty nice area that's easy to access. I usually order takeout, which is always ready on time and freshly made, but I do wish they offered delivery--if they did, I'd probably find myself ordering even more often! If you're a fan of Thai cuisine, Thai Vylai is a must-try. Highly recommend!

The Panang and shrimp fried rice was very good; portions and price was quite reasonable. I will definitely order out or go back to eat there, well worth the money!

TLDR : Small spot, BIG flavor! Definitley need to stop by! Let me jsut say, the food is immaculate. Brought out to you piping hot fresh from the kitchen and it is one of the best Thai dishes I've ever had. The flavors blended well and I definitly want the cook staff to know that I will be back with friends so they can try it out. The service was spot on, servers were quick to tend to any question I had, waters were refilled promptly and bills and boxes arrived once they noticed we were finished. I very much like how they handle business and the speed of their service. Interior of the restaurant is small but seats many. Parking is located on the street or in the rear.

Excellent little place in Allen Park. We stopped there after an afternoon Tigers game to try some Thai and were not disappointed. We tried the Chicken Satay app - 4 huge pieces of tasty chicken on a stick with a wonderful peanut sauce. Our two entrees were Chicken Pa Pak and Shrimp Pa Preaw Warn, both were fantastic. The oyster sauce was amazing while the sweet & sour was a perfect blend, not too sweet or sour. Portions were large so we had lunch the next day. Service was very good and the place was clean.

I got the yellow curry with chicken, chicken satay & a Thai iced tea for pick up & all of it was straight fire! I'll definitely be back again!

I had a taste for curry catfish and my "Go-To" Thai restaurant is closed for the Holidays, so I visited Thai Vylai. It has been awhile since I visited. I ordered Pla Duk Pad Ped (crispy catfish stir-fried in a red curry with bamboo shoots, bell pepper, eggplant, and mushrooms). Although there was a very good fry on the catfish, the curry would have benefited from more fish sauce. I also thought the portion size could have been larger. I also gave four stars because the interior could use a facelift. It is dark and detracts from the dining experience. The food took a long time getting out of the kitchen, and the servers could be educated a little better. For example, I received a napkin and was handed a fork. I am not sure why since it is proper Thai etiquette to eat with a fork and spoon; eat with the fork in the left hand and the spoon in the right hand. I had to ask for a spoon. Overall, the food was decent, but ambience and service detracted from the dining experience.

So refreshing to be able to dine in and eat Asian food! We both got a spring roll that was very good, with yummy sweet dipping sauce. Hubby got fried rice with chicken and shrimp and loved the heat from the sauce he'd chosen. Not the hottest one, but a combination of hot then fire sauce. I got shrimp in oyster sauce with white rice. Nice jumbo shrimp with green and red peppers, water chestnuts and carrots. We definitely recommend this place and look forward to trying out other dishes. No alcohol is offered, just pop, tea, or water. Prices are reasonable and portions are generous.

I have two favorite Thai places in Michigan and Thai Vylai is one of them. I highly recommend!

Filthy establishment, horrible food. Unbussed table for eight greeted me upon entry to pick up a carry out order. Dirty floor and disorderly dining room, some of it used for open storage of flatware, dishes and placemats. I should have walked out, I knew the disorder and filth was a precursor to horrible food--it was. Nothing fresh, no greens, tough rubbery chicken. Every entre (four of four) utilized the same sauce, probably a bottle of oyster sauce from a Chinese restaurant supply. Not one fresh Thai chili or Kafir Lime leaf in anything.Since Covid I cannot find even a marginally acceptable carryout Asian restaurant. Don't waste your good money here, let it die so something better can replace it.
