Diner Review №2

Was seated , ignored for ten minutes .
Left . Two other people walked in , and the lady helped them right away . Awful service .

Diner Review №3

Best Thai my lady and I have tried in the area. Great portions, price, and very fast/excellent service. I love the peanut curry noodle and my lady can't get enough of the Thai green curry

Diner Review №4

The pho was tasty but small and expensive. I was still hungry afterward which was incredibly disappointing.

Diner Review №5

Diner Review №6

ordered over the phone…messed up my order after i confirmed what it was THREE TIMES. The food was not edible. Hardly cooked all the way.

Diner Review №7

Amazing flavors. We had their green curry and it was really good. Will definitely go back!!

Diner Review №8

Diner Review №9

They're food is so good and delicious!!

Diner Review №10

Diner Review №11

The red curry was delicious, so happy I found this place. Atmosphere is very relaxed, small quiet place.

Diner Review №12

Food is good but if you are ordering over the phone DONT use the menu/prices listed on their website. Expected to pay $25-$30 for a couple pad Thai’s and a couple orders of spring rolls.. the order total came to $46!!

No where is it listed online that their menu prices have changed. The only way you can view a new menu is if you try to order from grub hub.

Diner Review №13

Still amazing to stop and have a meal at. I have eaten here many times. It's always a nice. The staff is always courteous too. I typically go for the Combo Appetizers, and House Special Fried Rice.

Diner Review №14

Best masaman curry I've had. The crab rangoon is great, too.

Diner Review №15

Wonderful experience today, the server was extremely friendly and nice. The green curry was spot on and I almost ordered it Thai Hot but settled on medium. Still packed a good punch.

Diner Review №16

Great food and large portions

Excellent Thai! Yum! 😋

Diner Review №20

food is not bad. but service is horrible. not gonna do a dine in again here

Diner Review №21

The food was average, but the service we received from the lady who was serving us was lacking. If I could, I would give the service no stars.

Diner Review №22

This is the Best Thai restaurant in Grand Rapids. The peanut curry noodle with chicken is our favorite and we will get it every time we visit Grand Rapids. They are always understaffed and had a hard time servicing tables while answering the phones. We’ve called 10+ times to place a to-go order and never got through.

Diner Review №23

Amazing food! Ordered takeout and was so surprised. Great price and portion size. Love this place, will be back!

Diner Review №24

Best Thai food around Grand Rapids. Tum Yum chicken soup, perfect.!!!

Diner Review №25

Beautiful unique restaurant!

Diner Review №26

Everytime we crave for Authentic Thai food, Thai Bistro is the place! Last week my husband and I, celebrated our 14th years of marriage and we decided to eat at our all time favorite restaurant. To start we order or favorite appetizer which is spring rolls, followed with Tom Yum soup, main dish was a Pad Thai noodles and for dessert purple sticky rice with ripe mango. Ahh we overate again!😋 Great food/friendly staff/relaxing atmosphere. A+++++

Diner Review №27

Everything fresh prepared and delicious 😋. Recommend 👍

Diner Review №28

Diner Review №29

Great local Thai spot. I'm always hesitant with Thai food because I hate peanuts. But they're menu made me confident I could get something I'd enjoy.
I was scared to get too spicy but would do medium across the board next time. Maybe venture to hot eventually 🤔

Diner Review №30

Great food, super service and delightful atmosphere.

Diner Review №31

My favorite Thai restaurant in town, hands down! I've been here quite a few times over the years, but I just got some delivery and have to sing their praises. Everything is always so flavorful! Their Tom Yum is the best I have ever had.

Diner Review №46

Appetizer never comes out before main entree. Oil used for calamari was old and dark.

Diner Review №47

Incredible food! This is a special treat every time I go. The staff works incredibly hard to ensure the food is fresh and delicious.

Diner Review №48

Diner Review №50

i stopped around an hour before close to place a takeout order and i was in & out within ten minutes. their chicken pad thai is some of the best in the area, especially for the price. definitely worth checking out!

Diner Review №51

Diner Review №52

Diner Review №53

We stopped in Saturday early evening and had just the best meal. Prices were very fair, portions were very generous, and the service was outstanding. Next time I'm in Grand Rapids I'll definitely be stopping in again.

Diner Review №54

I came here to celebrate a friend’s birthday and was delighted by the variety of options. I chose chicken peanut curry with rice and it was excellent. I requested mild spice, and enjoyed the subtle hint of it in my meal. The fresh vegetables and tasty peanut sauce made for an exceptional dish.

Diner Review №55

Love this place. Friendly service, great food, and better prices than most Thai restaurants in town. Highly recommended.

Diner Review №56

Diner Review №58

Diner Review №59

Service was great and the mango sticky rice was incredibly delicious. We also got the Drunken noodle and Yellow curry. Both amazing.

Diner Review №60

My favorite place for peanut curry noodles. the service is always great, the portions are big, and the price is right!

Diner Review №61

Diner Review №62

Food is usually pretty good. Service has been horrible lately.

Diner Review №63

The only place in town I know that will make papaya salad the way I like it which is Laos style (more fish sauce and lime). The Pad Thai noodles is great too.

Diner Review №64

Great food! Nice people

Diner Review №65

Best Thai food In GR! Plus great service. Love the Red Curry & Green Curry dishes.

Diner Review №66

My dad and I wanted to try something new and decided to go here. The food was delicious and the service was great. I was even pleased with the Mango Sticky Rice!

Diner Review №67

We are OBSESSED with this place. The noodle dishes are so good. The sauces are so good. Our favorite Thai in the city, hands down. And at really reasonable prices.

Diner Review №68

The place is so cool with bunches of interesting decorations. Food wise, hmmm 8/10 just because it's not the best compare to the dishes that I have had in Thailand before, and locally this place is pretty decent, taste is a little bit above average. I still get pick ups from here on some of my busy days but it's not an all time favorite. Well but if you are a newbies to Thai food then sure go for it!!! Not to those foodies though.

Diner Review №69

Great little place. The woman who was our server was also cashing out orders and answering the phone. Our service was still good. The food was very delicious, and the portions were decent. Very cool spot, I would definitely visit again.

Diner Review №70

Great place for a quick bite! I always come here! They’re very friendly and food is filling and good portion sizes.

Diner Review №71

Been coming here for a few years now. My favorite Thai place in the area. Never have to worry about the take out getting cold on the drive home either!

Diner Review №72

Diner Review №73

Good good, great service

Diner Review №74

I have been visiting this restaurant for 14yrs. This is hands down the best Thai in Grand Rapids. The food at this restaurant is just so very good. This is a small woman-owned and run business. I highly recommend visiting.

Diner Review №75

Place was great, staff super friendly, and the food... outstanding.

Diner Review №76

Diner Review №77

The food was great, I orders just papaya salad but I waited for almost an hour so long it’s was not worth of my time.

Diner Review №78

Diner Review №79

Went here for the first time and it was tasty! We got the chicken satay, fried rice and yellow curry. All were very delicious. I highly recommend this place!

Diner Review №80

The hours online are never correct (for Google or their website). So frustrating!

Diner Review №81

Wonderful staff and great food.

Diner Review №82

The food here is great with good portions. Food was prepared fairly quickly for how busy they were.

Diner Review №83

Diner Review №84

Food is always good and staff is always friendly

Diner Review №85

Diner Review №86

They should call this place TNT cause it's the bomb. Damned good food. I'm usually quite picky with thai food, but this place is extremely good. 👍👍👍

Diner Review №87

A great place by yourself or with family and friends.

Diner Review №88

Diner Review №89

The best thai place in town hands down

Diner Review №90

Great food at a fair price!

Diner Review №91

Amazing! The dine-in experience is great and perfect for date nights!

Diner Review №92

Diner Review №93

People who make online orders get food faster than those who dine in. We had to wait for one hour. The lady was doing everything.

Diner Review №94

Our favorite Thai on the 28th street. Friendly staff. Consistent taste. If TomYum soup made little less sweet, it might be even better. Reasonably priced with large portions. Try it out!

Diner Review №95

I've had take out on several occasions here for one reason or another and every time it's been so good.
The peanut curry is super solid

Diner Review №96

Great food and a very cute little restaurant.

Diner Review №97

Diner Review №98

I like this place a lot and we used to come here often for lunch, but now it seems like it's random if they're open for lunch or not. Some days they are and some days they aren't. It'd be nice if it was consistent. We don't go here nearly as much now as a result.

Diner Review №99

Pretty good Thai food. The restaurant is small so plan to wait if you're dinning in. Wait staff was nice and bathrooms are clean.

Diner Review №100

Food at Thai Bistro is generally very good. The menu has a lot of options for those with a breadth of tastes. In restaurant service is generally good and waitstaff is attentive. Sometimes menu items not available and we can probably chalk that up to Covid- related supply chain disruptions. Take out is typically piping hot, so it will not cool off too much on the way home.

Diner Review №101

Ordered the peanut curry hot and peanut curry noodles mild. The food was really good but they mixed up the spice level for the dishes. I would try them again but it was definitely a surprise for the both of us when we took our first bites.

Diner Review №102

Closed 1pm on Saturday. Sign said will open @4:30.

Diner Review №105

Diner Review №106

Fantastic place to meet up with a friend for a great lunch!

Diner Review №107

Good food slow service. They give you cans of soda instead of giving you a cup with fountain drink in it I recommend the chicken peanut curry

Diner Review №108

Excellent food!

Diner Review №109

Diner Review №110

Diner Review №111

The tom kha here is second to none- I've yet to find a better tom kha from other Thai restaurants across several states.

Diner Review №112

This is a great Thai restaurant. I love the Masaman! They can get overwhelmed and be a bit slow in busy times so be prepared for that. Perhaps another waiter and chef would help expedite the service.

Diner Review №113

Great

Diner Review №114

It was alright, kinda average, the deep fried chicken satay was not expected but it made it tough instead of tender, the green curry was good and the curry pad Thai was alright. It's a nice place, just not my favorite in the area.

Diner Review №115

Omg this place has the most AMAZING thai food of all time! Best thai restaurant I've been to! I cannot rave enough about this place! This place haunts my tastebuds dreams!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Diner Review №118

Very friendly, thankful staff and wonderful food!

Diner Review №119

Fantastic food and great service! This was a great find. Highly recommend eating here.

Diner Review №120

Nu-Thai is an employee favorite at Berger! It seems like at least once a week someone in our dealership is heading there for lunch! It's one of those restaurants where even when you brought a lunch that day, you might skip it to get Nu-Thai!😂

Diner Review №121

Always a delight to visit their place! The staff is super nice and they make great food. I get takeout from them as often as I can. #supportlocalbusinesses

Diner Review №122

Place order on 5/26 thru the delivery site. They took my money out of my account. Then called 20 minutes later and said they weren't having deliveries done today and It would take 3-5 days to have my money put back into my account. Told them I would come pickup order and they told me I would have to put new order in and they would bill my card again. Wont eat here Again.

Diner Review №123

Diner Review №124

Very yummy. I love the garlic Nu-Thai specialties number 73 on their menu. I added beef and changed out white rice for fried rice. SO yummy! Their restaurant is so quaint and clean too.

Diner Review №125

I love this restaurant so much! It is so good and the price is so great! It's the best pad thai ever! The staff is always so friendly, chatty and and they are very conscientious of keeping people safe during the pandemic. I really appreciate that!

Diner Review №126

We love to get food from here when we want to treat ourselves. Always high quality! Just be sure to give them extra time for certain items. But it is always worth it! Best to order carryout!

Diner Review №127

Diner Review №128

Don’t even bother calling the last 45 min they turn off their phones. Got the FU button after calling back when I was on hold.

Diner Review №129

Do not order delivery through grubhib at this restaurant. 30 minutes past delivery time and I was told by the restaurant that it would be another 45 minutes. They refused to process refund.I spoke with grubhub, I was told that this restaurant handles their own deliveries. I thankfully received a refund from grubhub.

Diner Review №130

This is by far the best Thai in Grand Rapids. Try the Pla Duk Pad Ped (fried catfish) and you will not be disappointed. I always start with the Tom Kha soup as well (the only good version of this soup I have found in this city). I like it all spicy but they are very accommodating to those who don’t.

Diner Review №151

We asked for no spices. Love their fried rice!!

Diner Review №159

Diner Review №160

Best Thai Food I've ever had. Flavorful, good portions and reasonable pricing.

Diner Review №164

Diner Review №165

Order from them with DoorDash and was not impressed with the food. The food was not great and the service was awful. I order an Ice coffee but they didn't have it so agree with them giving ice tea. After that mistake, they wanted to pay an additional 4 dollars thing of peanut sauce. DoorDash and restaurants don’t have the best customer service. I will never order their food and there so many better options in Grand Rapids for Thai food.

Diner Review №166

Best Pad Thai in GR!

Diner Review №172

Pad thai here is amazing. Perfectly spicey. Absolutely would recommend to a friend.

BEST PLACE IVE EVER GONE.
When we first walked in we were greeted by the most lovely lady. menu items were soooooo reasonably priced and worth it! Super delicious
This will for sure be our new date spot

Diner Review №191

Wow!!! I was expecting an average lunch when I came in here, but I was pleasantly surprised with an amazing lunch! I had the peanut curry with chicken and it was one of the best Thai meals I've ever had! The people here were all very pleasant and the atmosphere was very cute! I almost went to a different Thai restaurant, but it seemed too boring. This place has lots or character! I can't wait to come back here again and I even took the remaining sauce with me to try and put together one last meal with these delicious flavors! Do yourself a favor and don't miss out on this place!

Worst food quality and the worst food taste! Never try it!

Diner Review №198

The family stops by here every so often for lunch or dinner, and we're never disappointed by the food or the service. I'd highly recommend the yellow curry, or the peanut curry. Go with meduim spice if you want your eyes to water!

Diner Review №199

Diner Review №200

I dont understand how food can taste this good! Best fried rice I have ever had and the Drunken noodles were the bomb! Fantastic staff with small prices and big servings! They also deliver!! Coming out to this place is definitely worth the 15 minute car ride! Cant wait to come back and order delivery as well!
