Enduring family-owned eatery in a strip mall supplying Thai staples in a calm, casual setting.
This is by far one of my top favorite restaurants in the area! The flavor, portion/price, and spice level are all on point. I’ve never been disappointed here, unlike at many of the other nearby restaurants. I usually get the Pad Woonsene and recently tried the Pad Thai Woonsene and both are amazing!
Excellent choice for Thai.
The green curry, the pad see ew, the spring rolls, and Thai iced tea were what we ordered as a late lunch. Hot, flavorful, and spicy this small family run restaurant gives great value and on target flavors for this cuisine.
I highly recommended trying this restaurant.
Kids will like pad thai or any of the noodle dishes.
The basket of shrimp crisps and cup of spicy soup were a delightful bonus.
Seating is good for kids out of high chairs and ADA accessible. Bathroom not ADA fully compliant.
Absolutely delicious Thai food (large menu selection) and excellent customer service too! If you love Thai food this will be your favorite restaurant! 5+ stars!
Small Thai restaurant in the corner of a plaza. The place had very good prices for Thai food. The soup was sub-par but the fried rice was very good. It's probably the best Thai north of Detroit. The staff is super friendly. It's basically like getting homemade cooking. I will put a 5/5 once I come back and try another thing on the menu.
Update: came again and got pad thai. Everything was even better. 5/5
Phenomenal food and good people. The Pad Ped was delicious.
Diamond in the rough! Best deal in Troy. Only sit down restaurant where you can get a premium Thai plate for $9. I love the pad Thai and cashew chicken. Atmosphere is cozy and quaint- only six tables. Food is authentic and delicious.

Excellent food.
Best Thai food in the area
Excellent food at the most affordable price around
Pad Thai Curry and Crab Rangoons are the best! Most authentic Thai food Ive had in Metro Detroit area.
Penn’s Thai Cafe is our favorite. If you want some fancy expensive restaurant, then this is not the place for you. Great food, generous, moderately priced portions, and a nice Mom & Pop feel to the place. The owner is nice and always makes me feel like I’m her favorite customer. JC
Good family owned food palace decent prices food is ok, like to go there once in awhile
Update: been here many times now and food has always been great.
I've only been here once so my rating is preliminary but the staff took my order quickly and efficiently and it was ready in 10 minutes. Due to COVID I took my meal home and it was delicious. I love the transparent noodles! The dinner portion was enough for 2 meals.
Delicious food! First time visit and orderd carry out. We love thai food especiqlly if its spicy! The spicy noodle and pad thai curry were just that. Requested it spicy and glad it was made spicy :) Will surely be back to try more on the menu
I have loved the food here for at least 15 years.
What isn't there to love?? The food is great, and consistent. Friendly husband and wife team running the place. Inside is quaint and enjoyable.
Huge fan of the Pad Thai Curry and Tom Yum soup.
Excellent Pad Pak
I have been to this place time and time again and I swear they never disappoint. The service is phenomenal and when I tell you out of every thai restaurant i’ve been to, this one is first place. I have recommended it to so many friends and family and they agree as well. The service is GREAT, quick and very friendly. The flavors are absolutely amazing and I honestly could eat this food breakfast lunch and dinner. IF YOU WANT THE BEST THAI FOOD IN METRO DETROIT ITS HERE!
Delicious food, and friendly staff. Great for the whole family!
I have their Fried rice before and it’s all good. I never have a bad meal here even once. I’ve been eating here for more than 10 years. Always support the small family own business.
My favorite carry out place
We ordered shrimp fried rice and it wasn't good at all! This is the 2nd time we tried. I guess it's time to try and diff restuarant.
A very homely atmosphere...excellent food service and wonderful hosts. Been going there and ordering carry out since 2016
The best Thai food around. The service is amazing.
The food never disappoints.
The best and most consistent Thai food around. My family and I have been eating here for about 15 years or so. I have never had a bad meal.
1st time eating Thai food the fried rice was soooooo GOOD!!! I’ve been craving Thai food ever since. I won’t go anywhere else
Google says this place Closes at 8.00pm.. Nope 7pm Already Closed.!!!
Hours Not posted on door. So Nobody knows this place Hours... it's a SECRET..!!!!
The service is always quick and polite. The food is excellent and always served quickly. You will not be disappointed with anything on the menu.
I love the Thai food they serve here! It's my to go Thai place whenever I crave Thai fried rice. Their curry is amazing too! The portions are generous with the amount you pay. The employees are very kind and treat you well. You won't regret it.
I've been coming here since 2016. Their food is excellent and their prices are very reasonable. My personal favorite is the Pad See Ew, but their Pad Thai is also great. We've also tried and really liked other dishes like their basil friend rice and their curry. The staff is very nice and friendly.
Be careful going here they give us old vegetables in are food and my family get sick also I had someone with a food allergies and they had to see a doctor this place is a death trapped thank for getting back with me on the 17th but yes I have the right place and yes your restaurant made my family sick
Great tasting Thai cuisine, good variety. Spice levels are tolerable and delicious. We've tried their food thrice and it's been exceptional and tasty!
Ordered Pad Thai and Crab Rangoon for dinner. I loved the Crab Rangoon, and the Pad Thai was good, although had somewhat of a vinegar underlying which I am not used to. Still had good flavor and enough food for 2! Glad to support a local business here in Troy!
Curry fried rice with extra chicken was delicious and heart warming. a definite must try!
Quick service and very good food
2nd time ordering here. Food is good, well seasoned, not a lot of salt. Portions and prices were good as well. Employees were polite and provided good customer service.
This is my go-to Thai restaurant.
Friendly staff, low price, and tasty food.
I don’t normally leave reviews, but the food was too good not to. 10/10 I would recommend this place to anyone who likes high quality food.
This is our go to Thai restaurant! We love the food here and the friendly owner. Our usual orders we highly recommend are Pad Pak, Pad Prik, Spicy noodle, and House Special Fried Rice!
Definitely the best Thai food that I’ve had in southeastern MI. Cozy little “hole in the wall” family-owned cafe with delicious soup and shrimp chips if you dine in. Stopped coming for a few years since I moved, but it was exactly as I remembered when I returned. The cashier/server remembered me even after multiple years removed! A must-try if you love Thai food.
Best Thai around. Family owned and authentic. Owners are friendly and endearing. If you love Thai and/or want to support local owned, definitely give them a try. You won't be disappointed!
Delicious!! Our favorite place! Great service with a small family atmosphere. They even remember how my son likes his food. Thank you Penn’s Thai!
Best Thai food in Troy
Amazing food - flavorful and fresh! Wonderful customer service too! Highly recommended!
The best food on the planet. Their dish Nom Prik Pow is so unique. It's made with thai sweet chili and is awesome!!
Very good Pad Voon se
Fantastic food! Consistent spice levels, and sauces are homemade with no MSG...
Some of the best sauces I've ever had. I wanted to add we've been getting carry out here a lot and the service is really nice also.
Love this place. Husband and wife run it together and they are awesome. Food is super fresh and delicious.
Very tasty food, fast service and excellent prices! Fully recommend this place
Tiny little place but so happy I found it! They were so polite and the food was amazing, especially for their prices. Not usually a fan of spring rolls but I tried them in their combo platter and they were the best spring rolls I've ever had.
Great Pad Thai. Smaller than usual restaurant, with a very low budget feel, but in a good way. Can get busy during lunch, but the kitchen is quick, so you can eat here in under 30 minutes easily.
Extremely yummy, amazing service and good prices.
Really great food. Has a home-like feel to the place.
I love this place! The owners are nice and the food and service are always outstanding.
Penn’s is a solid Thai restaurant. I definitely taste the quality in their food. This place is very much a hidden gem.

Best Thai food ever.
The feeling you get when you're inside, is that of being in someone's home. The food was delicious and the serving size was perfect but nothing special to look at. Seems like a great take-out spot.
Great food, fair prices
Ummm disappointing.
Always great service 😀
Great authentic food. The house fried rice is excellent. The satay and pad thai are also excellent. Small restaurant with 12 or so tables and always spotless. The couple that owns it are very kind and friendly and always willing to go the extra mile for their customers. Go check them out you won't be sorry. They are in the corner of the plaza..next to or one down from Leslie's pool supply.
Hidden gem.
Always good food here
Awesome authentic Thai
Service was very good, food was excellent, and price was fair! I have nothing to complain about. I recommend.
Authentic Thai food and exceptional customer service
If you are craving for Thai food.. give this place a try. You will be hooked to Penn's Thai
Excellent choice for Thai.

Amazing crab rangoon. Food was really good.
Good food. Really like the soup. Small dine in area is very small.
There was a hair in my food....and I could not get my refund they should wear nets when cooking .
Very good food and the owners are wonderful people.
If your looking for a authentic place to eat Thai food this is the place to go. It’s a small family owned business and honestly they make me feel like family as well. I always get the pad Thai or the pad Thai curry medium depending on what I feel like eating that day. And the tum yum soup is always fresh. By far my go to Thai restaurant hands down thank you guys for always making me feel like family
Very good food. Also very busy and the wait for a table was about 30 minutes. Ended up sitting at the bar to avoid the wait. Had a great waitress.
Not fancy but food was good
The Nam Prim Pow is AMAZING. Service is always fast and friendly and she will remember you if you are a regular. She always asks me how I am doing and if my boyfriend is not there asks where he is and how he is. I love this place so much!
I eat lunch, sometimes early dinner here, whenever I am working on this side of town. The service, cleanliness, and the product is always impeccable. I am routine here, always ordering the same thing: Chow Mein noodles with Tofu and extra broccoli, mild-medium. Eat here, be happy, thank me later.
Fast service,food was spot-on, no restroom.
Awesome food, service and great value
Amazing food ! I love this place.
Was delicious. Specially crab raggon was good.
Satay? was not special.
It's a small, more intimate place. I got pad thai and it was just alright. The flavors were a bit different than what I have usually experienced at other thai places.. it had a stronger vinegar taste possibly. They give soup and those yummy shrimp chips as complementary before your meal. The soup itself was also just ok.
I love this restaurant. Try the green curry with chicken medium heat... it's hot. Do not challenge a thai restaurant to make your food hot... the house wins every time.
This is the best place bar none to eat Thai food that I have ever been. In fact I order to eat in then I place an order to go.
Best Thai food around.
Small little place with good food. I like that even for dinner they give you soup (hot and sour) and shrimp chips... The pad nor mai is very good, and they chicken in it is cooked nicely. Often it gets over cooked, but Penn's is cooked just right
EXCELLENT! As always.
Best Thai food.
Great thai food. They make the best Pad Thai that I've had in the area. The Kow Pad Num Prik Pow is very good too.
Tasty Pad Thai.
I have nothing good to say about this. I ordered the fried basil rice with tofu. It was essentially a plate of bland rice with about 4 pieces of tofu and a few pepper slices. It was not worth the money at all. Some other review mentioned they weren't sure if there was even a bathroom and im not sure either.
The best thai food around and the owners are amazing. They remember everyone's favorite dish even if you don't visit often.
Tried this restaurant for lunch and was pretty disappointed in the food. Hot and Sour soup bordered on tasteless and the Gang Dang was just about mediocre. Service east fine. Probably won't be going back. Too many other Thai restaurants that are head and shoulders above this one.
The pad thai curry with chicken was delicious.
Easily the best Thai food in the area. You can tell they use fresh ingredients, and they they know what they see doing. Great night and rice dishes, and awesome Tom Yum soup!
customer service was spectacular and the food was phenomenal. i will definitely be eating here again. the family who owns the restaurant are amazing people.
Carry out service was great. Friendly staff, food was good. All thai places seem to differ for the spice, like my food hot but got medium and was perfect. Little hotter than most thai like I wanted, but over kill either.
Best Thai in Troy and surrounding area - period! Food is always fresh and prepared properly. I always take out, but the dinning area is always clean. Maybe next time I'll at Penns. My favorites are the Pad Thai Woonsene and the house special fried rice with sausage. Can't go wrong
Best Thai in Michigan
Great food, especially the Chicken with 3 flavor sauce, yellow curry and pad moon senn with beef. Friendly fast service in modest family style place. My favorite Thai in Troy!
Great food. Good prices
excellent place, if had quite a few dishes from here and my favorite is the pad Thai woonsene. The only thing I don't like is that they close up shop for a while and I have to go somewhere else. however, i always come back when they open.
Best Thai place in troy. The food is always good their. I have never been disappointed with the quality of the food. Great taste, and love their Fried rice. I have been going their for 4 years, and again never got a bad service. The people who run the restaurant are very wonderful people.
Great flavor. Ordered B2 vegetables with add shrimp and extra onion! Yummy yummy for my tummy. Will order again each week until I can't believe it.
Everything was delicious!
Food was good. Portions weren't too big, and the place wasn't very busy. Typical small family-owned Thai restaurant.
Great little Thai place. Excellent food, quiet, and not too busy on a Wednesday night.
Great food
Hasta ahora Penn's Thai Café es el mejor restaurante de comida Thai que he encontrado en el área. Es un restaurante familiar con excelente comida y servicio. Muy recomendable.
Fast Service, friendly server .
Simple Thai place with a very good tasteful food.
Best Thai carry-out
Awesome food! Do try their basil and curry fried rice.This is the only place I enjoy eating it!
Penn's is not only the best Thai food in the area, the owners are the nicest family you could meet. We love going there! Everything on the menu is great.
Best Thai in Troy.
Took a friend here for lunch. We both had a great meal. He had Thai Pad and I had bbq pork friend rice. Both were excellent. The soup was the best! The owner/staff was very obliging and attentive. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys Thai food! 5 stars!
The waitress was very kind and helpful
Absolutely delicious. I had pineapple fried rice
Great food, very fresh.
