Plaza-based Thai option with a convivial vibe & comfy booths delivers a vast menu of standard fare.
I came in here as I review many Thai restaurants in the Metro Detroit area and outside. This was a great Thai restaurant, and the owner was very friendly! They seemed really busy for a Saturday night, but the food was DEFINITELY worth the wait. I did order medium plus spice, and I felt it was definitely more of a mild spice, or they forgot to add spice at all. Beside from this, the food was delicious and filling. They deserve a five-star review, and I will definitely visit again in the future.
Went here for the first time on a whim. We ordered the Shrimp Pad Thai, the Beef Pad Thai, and the chicken lettuce wraps. The chicken for the chicken lettuce wraps was *extremely* salty. I’m the type of person who loves salt but this was toooooo much. With each bite I felt my blood pressure going up. The pad Thai had a horrible acidic smell that was off putting and made me lose my appetite.. I thought it was because the tofu smelled bad, but one of the pad Thai dishes we ordered without tofu still had that same smell. I ate it and wasn’t impressed with the flavor (or lack thereof). This isn’t our first time eating pad Thai; we’ve had it at several different Thai places and it never smelled this rancid. We ended up leaving after a couple of sorrowful bites and all of our plates were still nearly full. I’m not a picky eater at all.. but this was just a waste of money AND food.
Yesterday, I visited **Novi Siam Spicy**, a well-known Thai restaurant nestled in the heart of Novi. The establishment has garnered a reputation for its authentic Thai cuisine and has become a staple for many locals and visitors alike.
The meal was satisfactory, with familiar flavors that reminded me of the traditional Thai dishes I've enjoyed in the past. While the dishes were well-prepared, I must admit that I've experienced more vibrant flavors and a bit more finesse in preparation at other Siam Spicy locations in the area. That said, the food was still enjoyable and provided a comforting meal.
The staff were friendly and provided good service, contributing to the overall positive experience.
In summary, Novi Siam Spicy offers a nice dining option for those in the Novi area. The food is decent, and while it may not top the charts compared to its sister locations.
Very basic and functional place. Loved the food - nice yo know that they offer three spice levels, depending on one’s tolerance levels. Loved the bag pf prawn crackers :)
Ordered a fried rice. Taste was absolutely delicious but the quantity was reduced. Felt the quantity was more earlier. The chips provided were ok but tasted more oily. Afternoon lunch time quantity has to improve otherwise all good.
Update (after many years)- still the same. Food was good but could give bit more quantity on the plate. Today the chips were fine.

Very nice staff. Food was delicious!
Have tried padthai curry noodles and fried rice. Both of them are simply amazing
Great Food
curry noodle had great flavor and comes with some tofu AND your choice of protein. the crab rangoons were…. different… the shell didnt have the usual “legs” and was more like a uniquely folded oreo. out waiter was very friendly and kind.
Staff and food here is great. One of my go to lunch spots. Would highly recommend the pad thai or drunken noodles!
Plenty of seats available, but I was told by a very surly waitress that there was a 15 minute wait.

Thai green curry was very salty.
We arrived at 8:05 pm, with closing time set for 9:00 pm. Upon entry, the waitress promptly informed us that the kitchen would close in 5 minutes, urging us to order quickly. Her demeanor throughout the evening, as well as the presentation of the food, felt somewhat brusque. The quality of the food was disappointing; the green curry was excessively salty and watery, lacking creaminess and any hint of sweetness.
A gentleman who appeared to be the owner kept a close watch on our table throughout the meal, not engaging but observing, which felt odd. Dishes were swiftly cleared from our table as we finished them, indicating a rush to clean up and close for the night. We hurriedly finished our meal to ensure we left before 9:00 pm, unable to fully enjoy the dining experience. Ultimately, we departed at 8:53 pm, deeply unsatisfied with the overall experience.
Decent portion. The staff weren’t too attentive. She only came to get our orders and give the bill. They don’t serve complimentary shrimp chips during lunch anymore. Thai tea didn’t taste that good.
Nice Thai restaurant.
I was in the area and I absolutely love thai food so I had to try this place out. Everything was delicious!
All mediocre
I called to ask about their red curry as thats a common Thai dish and the lady on the phone directed me to the website. I asked her why she couldn't tell me what's in the red curry and she said they have many curries. Guess she ignored my question. So I checked their menu online and it's honestly just a blurry mess. They have many curries, but their red curry is called Gang Gai so I called back and ordered. I asked for veggie Tom Yum and she insisted I picked a meat, which I insisted it should be veggie only. I also ordered Larb (laab) chicken, and all three dishes came SWEET!
I am from Isaan, I know what a "Laab" is suppose to taste like and it definitely should not have that much sugar - if not at all. Gang Phet is suppose to be between sweet & more savoury, not just sweet.
Upon picking up food, I noticed they have hand written note right up at the front counter stating to customers that if they ordered the wrong dish, they will not replace or refund it. Makes sense why the lady in the phone was so short and dismissive when I had questions about their menu, she was already on the defense. She even avoided me when I picked up the food, a gentlemen cashed me out instead.
Maybe they should redo their menu so it's less confusing to customers or maybe they should read back orders as to confirm that's what customers want, then they won't have a problem with the misunderstanding.
If you like cold service, overly sweet Thai food, then this is your place!
The drunken noodles were perfectly seasoned, NOT mushy, and the veggies were tender yet crisp. The coconut soup was HEAVENLY! The broth was rich and savory. It does have cilantro in it so if you’re allergic, be careful. The Thai iced tea was refreshing and sweet, and the spring rolls were delicious with the sauce 😊 They also have vegetarian and gluten free menus too! The service was pleasantly polite and prompt. 5/5 would DEFINITELY come here again and again!
Crab Rangoon was still frozen in the middle and was filled with mayonnaise. It was disgusting. Everything was bland and low quality. Very obviously trying to cut costs. I'll never be back.
Siam Spicy has always set the standard for me.
Very good food with smiling service.
Great prices and food is amazing. Love the pad Thai and tofu.
Went for lunch , ordered the Kow Pad which is fried rice... finally a fr that has flavor, absolutely go here u won't be disappointed
This is the worst thai restaurant I have been in my life, even the plain white rice was bad. Servers were extremely incompetent and served very bland food, their explanation was it was American spicy scale which is ironic for a restaurant called siam spicy. My love for Thai food is setback for a while now.
We had a fun time having a meal. thank you.
BEST THAI FOOD EVER!!!! Always fresh and delicious 😋
Delicious appetizers and soup. The meals are served rapidly and the menu prices are reasonable. Highly recommended.
We have tried many Thai places and this is the best!! It is absolutely worth it, I love they have waterchestnuts on a couple plates. Great variety, prices and quality.
I usually get the drunken fried rice with tofu (made vegan). It's absolutely incredible about 75 percent of the time. The other 25 percent it's only perfectly adequate. I'm not sure if they have more than one chef that each changes how they make it, but it can be a bit inconsistent. But like I said, even when it's "worse" it's still good! I've tried the drunken fried rice at a couple other non-Siam Spicy restaurants and they usually just use frozen mixed veggies (carrots and peas), but this place uses much better ingredients. Note/fyi: if you order an entree as vegan at lunch time they'll make the dinner size portion, which is a higher price, so you should be prepared for that difference 🙂
Nice people....good food...reasonably priced!
Great food! Awesome service. Best Thai food in the area.
Food good and lady nice just little hot inside.
Food poisoning and service was non existent
Really nice place with delicious food! They were super affordable too! We will be back.
Terrible
Hidden gem, delicious and swift service
The food was very tasty, but I ordered medium and I didn't taste any heat at all, so I would keep that in mind.
We had Satay, Tom Yum, fried rice, Chu Chee and Green Curry. All are very delicious. I liked Satay the most, but my son-in-law adored the Chu Chee fish. The restaurant is also beautifully decorated, with paintings coming directly from Thailand. The staff were busy with constant orders going in and out--which speaks to how well they sell. Luckily we came in before the dinner rush and were able to eat until bursting. Definitely going to go eat again when we can!
I grew up in Novi eating at this Siam Spicy. In my adult years I was ordering takeout from here probably once a week. I live in Livonia now and have come back just for Novi’s Siam Spicy a few times this year. Something changed here. The food lacks flavor, the chicken is never fresh anymore, and the spice levels are inconsistent. I ordered takeout last night and the fried rice is bland, burnt, and tastes terrible. I don’t even know how to salvage it at home. Thought the last time was a fluke but I’ve been burnt three times in a row here now. Very disappointed as this was my go-to Thai spot for years and years. Have to look for a new one.
Great food and Thai iced tea. Portions were big enough for leftovers!
Got Pad Thai Ck Hot for lunch. The soup was very good. Got Spring Rolls and Crab Ragoon came hot and crispy.
All very good. Service is always very good.
First time here. Sunday night. Generous portions, good food. Easy parking in plaza.
The menu on their website showed a dozen vegetarian options. But they actually only have one…very bad experience
I ordered the pad Thai I did a carry out. The noodles were mushy no flavor very bland it almost taste like it was old not fresh at all I would not recommend this establishment unless you want to waste your money and be upset about old tasteless food
Very disappointing!!! I used to like this place many years ago. I was in the area so I stopped for lunch. I ordered the pad Thai IT was very small and tasted awful. It was sticky and super sweet. I won't ever come back.
Rude and very unpleasant very impatient young woman I will not be back again! And they overcharged me $14 for a cup of soup, two pieces of crab Rangoon, and a Coke for.
We have been going here since the early 90's.
The food has been delishious and consistent!
Quick service. Food taste was really good. I got Pad Thai. People attending was nice.
The food wasn't as good as I hoped 😕
Not sure what happened. We usually love Siam spicy... maybe they have a new cook. On December 26th... we ordered the usual... chicken fried rice..but was bland with no flavor. Green curry - medium... salty and was extremely spicy... and Pad Pak... bland no flavor. And it got expensive for what we ordered. What happened?
Food was fast but unfortunately too much oil and sauce in the pad Thai.
Excellent food and service. Spicy or not.
I’ve order takeout from here many times and my order is always just how I like it and very flavorful. And there’s never a wait!
Used to be a place I like. But past 3-4 takeouts have been dissapointing. Tasteless fried rice, too dry and doesn't reflect the asked for spice level. What does it take to make it more flavorful and add some sauce so its not all dried up and white color?
This place is amazing. I love the Pad Thai Curry! The owner is so nice! She circled a couple items on a menu she thought I would like based on what I ordered. Very reasonable prices. I will explore their menu and I hope you do too!
Food was delicious but I found this piece of metal in my food.
The portions were small. And the chicken tasted old. I was there 10/1/2022 around 2ish with my mom and daughter Place was not busy the owner lady asked my 10 year old daughter if she liked the food she said so good but really she did not like the food. Food was not good. Very small portions and old bad chicken. Stomach feels wheezy
Best Thai food in the area
Great Thai food with prompt and friendly service. My Gang Gai Curry dish had a ton of chicken in it. Very delicious.
It's not exactly the local taste of Thailand, but it's pretty ethnic. Stir-fried vermicelli and beef salad were satisfying in both taste and quantity. Soup is also good. They have Japanese and American beers but no Thai. Waitresses are very friendly. Highly recommended for those who want to eat Thai food in Novi area.
First time having Thai food! The Pad Prikkhing with spicy curry sauce was excellent! I was not disappointed!
Used to be an old favorite but I was not happy on my last visit a few weeks back . My chicken Pad Thai was very watery, didn’t have much flavor and was not the highlight in my day I as hoping it would be. I called it in when they weren’t that busy and I still had to wait. The 2 gentlemen in the kitchen didn’t seem very happy to be cooking but I might have just caught them on an off day . Regardless , I can’t say I will be going back soon even though they gave me a comped meal next time I’m out that way . It was very off and not what I used to know.
Amazing rice
This is one of the best Thia food restaurants around the Detroit area. The food is well prepared, delicious and consistent. The service is always prompt and a tentative without being intrusive. It has been this way, in my experience, for the last 10 years even through the pandemic. I moved 8 mi away but I still make the trip to eat at this restaurant. Over the years I have had most of the different dishes on the menu and haven't been ever disappointed. This time I got the old standby, pad Thai and it was as always, delicious. Parking here is not a problem at all, there are vegetarian options and it is wheelchair accessible.
Excellent meal, appreciate veggie options. Helpful staff.
wonderful food, the chicken lettuce wraps are the best anywhere, great service — good prices.
Great food. If you order the food hot it's VERY HOT, medium is still pretty hot so be prepared.
I've been going to this restaurant for 21 years. It was almost a gold standard of Thai food. I ate there for the first time in about a year. It was not satisfactory. I got the"Jungle prince (curry). Hardly any curry sauce, skimpy protein portions, and the soda machine wasn't working. Water, dry curry, and small portions...this place now officially sucks! Won't ever be back. There are far better Thai restaurants in the area....a matter of fact, all of them are better, I suggest any Thai restaurant in Oakland county other than this one!
GrubHub Driver -
Beware your order will never ever be on time ever. Lovely staff, I personally like them, but I advise to never use them from GrubHub.
Tacky comment from the owner when I’m at his restaurant literally every day. Hate to break it to you - but you totally are affiliated with them.
Chicken pad Tai with Xtra peanuts was awesome .medium spicy.
The food was wonderful and the service was prompt. Only problem was a language barrier with the server. Her English was not very good, but certainly better than my Thai.
Good food at fair prices, friendly staff
Great food, fast service. Definitely going to keep this in my rotation of places to go
nice staff & very good food :)
Went here over the vacation period. Great service from the lady and man. Clear vegetarian options. Food was delicious. Nice decor
Horrible food. Basically tasteless. Usually really good food but yesterday’s carry out was a big disappointment. Fried rice had barely any meat & no vegetables. It was just brown rice.
Their vegetarian menu makes selection simpler. Taste, quality and quantity is all perfect.
Their food is always flavorful and freshly made. My only disappointment is they haven’t been making the chicken satay in a while and they have the best satay around. That doesn’t stop me from coming there and enjoying their food!
You can’t go wrong with any dish, but I’m a particular fan of their Pad Thai curry.
The last time we ordered food from here was stale. The curries were supposed to have "curry" in them but all that we got was dry stir fried vegetables. Very disappointing food. I would not go back here again. Would have given a zero star if that was an option.
Dependable roster of Thai dishes. Budget friendly. Good portions. Various spiciness levels.
Never disappointed by the quality of food for the excellent price.
I am absolutely in love with this place! Everything is fantastic!!!
The food is beyond delicious.
The service is phenomenal.
The servers are extremely polite and a delight to have.
Prices are very fair and reasonable too!
Favorite place to grab Thai food. Worth the drive!
Food was really good, but getting vegetables only there wasnt very much.
If you’re a vegetarian and want to eat noodles, then you don’t have many choices. I ended up ordering 2 appetizers; spring roll and fried tofu. They both tasted bad.
My partner ordered a squid green curry. That also tasted bad.
The food didn’t taste like thai food.
Don’t go to this place if you want authentic thai food.
Delicious food, great options, huge portions, and always fast.
Fast and tasty
Good service, great food. The best Tum Yum in town
We went there for lunch. You can choose how spicy you want your meal. Very friendly and welcoming server. Quick food serving.
I ordered pad prik, but received a depressing bowl of very little chicken, an overwhelming amount of water chestnuts, and way too strong onions. The peppers had a terrible texture, obviously coming from frozen. That poor mixture was attempted to be drowned out in a watery soy sauce that was bitter and unpleasant. They also gave me white rice, which tasted soapy. May have just been an off day, but my food was disappointing. Didn’t finish it.
Been coming here for years, always good food. My favorite Thai place that I can have delivered with Doordash.
Go to place for Thai food !
I ordered carry out Curry Pad Thai with chicken. What I got was a couple of pieces of chicken and mostly tofu. Were they masquerading it as chicken? Couldn’t go all the way back and luckily I don’t mind tofu but that should not have happened.
Whoever answered the phone was rude when telling me they were closed. Even though according to Google, they were not. Why answer the phone in the first place if you're closed?
Used to be good. Not anymore.
I come here way too often. Lol. Soooo good! I highly recommend!
Great Curry Pad Thai!
Always delicious. Great customer service.
Been going here for years, great food always cooked right with lots of flavor, and large portions. Its my wife's go-to restaurant when she's not feeling well and wants comfort food. The curries are all great and the gai tom kha soup is amazing!
This restaurant makes my fiancé and I wish we were locals. We make a point to stop here every time we are in Novi!
The food is FANTASTIC and the staff are just lovely.
Good costumer service and good food.
Great food
Ordered take out on the app due to the covid. Arrive to pick it up and they gave my order to someone else, making it where I had to wait for them to make mine again! They refused to compensate me in anyway for their mess up. They have horrible restaurant hospitality and I will never return again.
I ordered choo chee fish. Taste great and the fish is really crispy!
Great service, delicious food a very cheap price
Amazing food! Best crab rangoon by a mile🐐
Hands down my favorite Asian restaurant in the midwest. Well done.
The worst service I have ever had
The staff were great. Very nice and present. The food was not so good. The crab rangoons had too much mayonaise and just tasted off. I ordered my pad thai medium+ and it had no heat and was overall pretty flavorless.
Siam spicy is a great chill restaurant. The waitresses are nice and attentive. The food came out fast , though even it was a Saturday and is great. I love the curry, it had a great flavor and heat. The bathrooms are nice and clean too. I will definitely go back.
Good service but THE worst Thai food I have ever eaten. Will never eat here again. If I had the choice on no star I wouldn't even give it one star.
Very tasty, very fast service and people here are very friendly. The overall vibe is fine, and the decor is great. But, the food, I felt, was a little on the sweet side. So, next time you're here, remember to order a level up on your spice palette. Otherwise, great food. Vegetable Pad Thai was what I ordered, which is a very traditional Thai dish. It was prepared with passion, undeniably. So, overall experience, 5/5. Food 4/5. Service, 5/5
Crab Rangoon was chunky and noodles were cut so small for some reason that it was difficult to eat. Did not ask for noodles to be cut at all. Posted photo of noodles
Pretty good food!
Had the Pad Thai Curry and was not disappointed!
