First time ordering carry out from here for NYE. Egg rolls, spring rolls, Wok Chaw and Teriyaki. All items were delicious. Vegetables were cut large and so fresh. Loved that the chicken teriyaki was not breaded and the sauce was so good and not sticky sweet. Huge portions, plenty for another meal. Will be back.

Family owned facility with warm and welcoming service. The food was fresh and the texture/flavor of the chicken was some of the best I’ve ever had. I highly recommend the general tso’s dish and spring rolls! The egg rolls were a great value for the size, but were heavy on the cabbage for me.

Amazing food and staff. Myself, I usually don’t like food like this. But this place definitely changes your mind, excellent flavors and HUGE portions. The wife and I are very pleased will continue to make the long drive from Holly just to eat here. 10\10

Great Asian food spot. While Tai Fai is not set up for dine in patrons (there is seating for a total of 12 people in the whole place) the food is exceptional and the chef has a passion for good flavors. We ordered sushi rolls that he made fresh per our request (not on the menu) and a seasonal special seared tuna mango roll that was awesome. We also ordered Red Curry and Pad Tai to go. Generous portions of both were excellent. The Red curry was full of fresh vegetables and coconut milk. Lightly spicy and creamy. The Pad Tai noodles were fresh made and the chicken pieces were larger than any we have ever had. This is a family owned and operated take out restaurant. A little girl sat at the sushi counter making origami animals. So cute and she offered them for tips.

Awesome hot and sour soup.

Diner Review №11

Loved the egg rolls they are made with bean sprouts. That's all I tried

Diner Review №12

The food was a big surprise of how fresh and delicious it was.
The best Asian food in the area!!!
Can't wait to go back!

Diner Review №13

Their food is very underwhelming, chicken is hard and rubbery tasting. Crab rangoons are probably the worst rangoons I’ve ever had. Ordered 2 orders of rangoons and threw them all out

Diner Review №14

My favorite

Diner Review №15

Food is delicious

Diner Review №16

Right on time

Diner Review №17

We were really disappointed with the food. We ordered pineapple fried rice with chicken. It was literally just canned pineapple and rice. Usually there are vegetables in that dish at other restaurants. I’m almost positive that the chicken was rotisserie chicken. There was a hair in the food. Very bland and disappointing meal. We ordered two portions, didn’t even finish one and threw out the second order.

Diner Review №18

Great food and huge portions. Definitely recommend you try it out!! Love the sweet & sour and sesame chicken 😊

Diner Review №21

It's not the greatest LOOKING place and not really meant for dine-in. With that said, the food is 🔥 House lo mein is enough to feed 3 of us and it's absolutely delicious every time.

Diner Review №22

We ordered two Sesame Chicken Combos, does not come with egg rolls! We asked for extra sauce, to which she agreed, but got not even a tablespoon! The egg rolls had several huge chunks of cabbage in them, as well as barely enough sauce, which was yellow and watery, for them either, The “so called” fried rice was white rice with yellow coloring in it…what? The chicken was absolutely awesome, tender and tasty, and enough to feed two people three times…looking forward to leftovers with our own extra sauce, disappointed about the rest😉

Diner Review №23

Outstanding food. Will be back

Diner Review №27

Best sushi in the area and the Chinese food is good too! Only complaint is the almond chicken sauce is not the gravy I’m used to and i think they should have stuck with traditional BUT the chicken itself was big portions and cooked to perfection. A lot of other places it can be chewy but theirs was great. Their egg rolls are HUGE and delicious. I’d go there for those alone.

Diner Review №28

I’m so sad. Tai Pan used to be my FAVORITE Chinese restaurant, but I feel like within the last 3 years they’ve changed. I used to rave over how good their general tsaos chicken was, but now I’m turned off by it. Their crab Rangoon has also changed which breaks my heart. The service is always great, and my orders always been right. I’m just sad over the food changing 😭

Sushi and food is always good, the staff is very friendly also.

Raw chicken. Noodles taste like plastic. Health department needs to check this place out.

Diner Review №33

Diner Review №34

My family and I all met here and ordered a lot of different items on the menu and all shared. Everything was delicious. We thought it was a full restaurant but they have to tables and a bar were we sat and ate comfortably. We all loved the food

Diner Review №35

This is one of our favorite restaurants for sushi/tai food.

Diner Review №36

Diner Review №37

I don't know how they got a 4 star review. We ordered ahead and it is obvious they made the food right away and let it sit. The beans were cold, the spring rolls were mushy. The salmon spring rolls, the wonton soup, and the General Tso chickens were cold and tasteless. They forgot the pad thai noodles altogether. So I spent $85 and the only thing edible was the egg roll. My husband picked up the order and said the hostess was rude. It would have been better to drive the extra mile to go to China Jades.

Diner Review №38

Carry out place. Great food, good sushi. Try it out!

Diner Review №39

Diner Review №40

We ordered lettuce wraps and the lettuce was put in with the hot food which made the lettuce hot, nasty and unable to eat. The lettuce should be wrapped separately. So it stays cold and crispy.

Diner Review №41

The portions given here are huge! A single order of General Taos Chicken easily feeds me for two days.

Diner Review №42

Diner Review №43

Diner Review №44

They do know how to make their own house recipe spicy tuna. Never had similar one else where. I would go back sometime.

Diner Review №45

Diner Review №46

Diner Review №47

We got takeout from Tai Pan with a variety of dishes, the wife got sushi, I got General Tao chicken and a friend got Curry and it was all good! I recommend it but am adding the sushi rolls menu via photos so others can look it up.

Diner Review №48

NICE🍜🔥🤤👍 Won't go any place else now that we've found this delicious take out!! Everything we've ordered has been EXCELLENT. Large portions. Chicken pad Thai, chicken and broccoli, almond chicken, general tso's, spring rolls, egg rolls, soups. Best we've had!!

Diner Review №49

The walnut shrimp was ridiculously sweet. I can barely eat it. The same goes for whichever of the 4 different "crab wontons" I ordered. Which is really ridiculous because the 4 options had 4 different prices listed, but the same quantity and description. I'm hoping I didn't get ripped off. Nothing is spelled correctly on the menu so I won't hold my breath.

Diner Review №50

Amazing

Diner Review №51

They use white meat chicken in their sesame chicken. It’s amazing. Also, huge portions. I will be coming back.

Diner Review №57

Our first time trying this little gem and we thought the food was very good. The beef in the pepper steak was very tender and delicious. The egg rolls are huge and tasty. A new favorite! Also, Lee, the lady that took my order, was pleasant and patient.

Diner Review №58

Great miso soup, sushi and some unique main dishes. Nice selection for vegetarians. The counter girl was great. I forgot to specify spicy heat level for one dish and because i ordered no spice on another dish, she was smart enough to put it on the side.

Diner Review №59

Diner Review №60

1st time here, food was really good, service was very attentive and we got an extra sushi roll because they made a minor mistake I would have never known. Highly recommend can't wait to go back!

Diner Review №61

Good food

Diner Review №62

1st time being here and the food was good

Diner Review №63

Diner Review №64

The portions are big but the flavor is not there and the crab ragoon was the worst I ever had. Sorry guys but I won't be back.

Diner Review №65

ordered two different meals and they tasted the same bland rice and vegtables meat was horrible. i could have cook it better myself.

Diner Review №66

Sushi seemed like it would have been good if it wasn't bagged with the hot food for the ride home. Pad thai needs some work. I think they use egg noodles instead of rice noodles and I don't think pad thai is supposed to be greasy. With all the great reviews I was a bit disappointed.

Diner Review №67

Been years since I have been able to find a good Tai place well this excellent. Tai sushi appetizers every thing was amazing. Small place but super big on quality quantity and service and tast. My soul is happy that's how amazing the food was. love the people and chief 110% understood the assignment and brought the a game. Go try it . A favorite for sure.

Diner Review №68

Only door dashed... One day will have to come try this restaurant...

Diner Review №78

First visit after being referred a couple times. There were 4 of us 2 Pad Thai one med. on mild both excellent. 1 red curry with chicken excellent 1fried rice and egg rolls terrible.
Hot and Sour soup excellent and the appetizer Baked avocado FANTASTIC.
Good fast service.
Carry out only.

Diner Review №79

Food was very good, but honestly, the best part was that the hospitality was great! We sat in there as a group of 5 for a birthday and they accommodated us so well and served us as though it were a sit down restaurant.

Diner Review №80

Found this place after going to Canterbury Village. The woman who took our order was super nice to us and their sushi was absolutely delicious! If ever in the area again definitely will be back!

Great taste and the right amount of spice I was hoping for.

Diner Review №85

Bad red curry

Diner Review №86

Family style meals

Tai Pan restaurant has a wide range of Thai food and sushi options. There is a sushi chef on site to make fresh sushi rolls. It is easy to place a phone order for pickup. The sizes of the entries are made for sharing. This place is hidden in a small strip mall and might be easy to miss.

Diner Review №87

Thai Pan Was good but it but it left a little to be desired. They do give a lot of food. It is worth going there just for that reason. The staff is very good and friendly. I ordered szechuan chicken. Like I said it was good, I will go back And try something different. I do hope that you will give it a chance. They have sushi And other Asian dishes. Please check out their menu online And you will see what I mean.

Diner Review №88

Quality went down prices went up and the food you ordered doesn't always match the menu description

Diner Review №89

Diner Review №90

Diner Review №91

Do NOT go here. In just one year they raised the California sushi roll by 2.00!
For just 4 rolls it is now 31.00!
Even for West Bloomfield this is high.
This is Waterford. Mostly blue collar working class people and they cannot afford this!
Gas prices have gone sky rocket and inflation has gone up..yet they have no problem raising the prices on consumers who happen to be the reason why they are in business to begin with.

They are extremely greedy!!
Never doing business with them again!
B.K sushi is much better and much cheaper anyways!

Diner Review №92

Diner Review №93

I came in in the middle of the after noon and got a great meal. The order was takeout although there are a couple of tables to dine in. The person at the counter was very helpful and made sure the order was correct. This is not too close to my home but I will return often.

Diner Review №94

Diner Review №95

Great place and awesome dishes with generous portions. Very fast with getting the orders ready. Everyone there has been friendly and always happy.

Diner Review №96

Not good. At all. Expensive for not being good quality food.

Diner Review №97

Door dashed there

Diner Review №98

The BEST Miso Soup in Michigan!

Diner Review №99

Diner Review №100

The dish was lacking several items that would typically go into a pad thai mostly all noodles

Diner Review №101

The first time we ordered here everything was delicious.
However, tonight everything we ordered was either wrong or tasted off. My spicy tuna roll had crab instead of tuna. The fried rice had a funky taste, and the hot and sour soup not only looked wrong but tasted wrong as well.

Huge disappointment! Will not be back due to inconsistency

Diner Review №102

Stopped in this evening for a carryout and the sweet and sour chicken was yummy! It was $13 for the chicken and fried rice, there was plenty of chicken. I felt that there could’ve been more rice in the dish, but everything was tasty. Definitely recommend trying it out!

Diner Review №110

Diner Review №111

I am going for my third helping of Yesterdays take out, Massaman curry adding pineapple and carrots. He charged an extra $4 for the two different vegetable additions but def worth it, it could probably feed 3 adults…it was so fresh that it was better the next day!! We had a Philadelphia roll while we waited for our 3 dinners (which were all huge and equally as fresh) That $50 could feed 8 adults solid! This was my first time there and I am so excited to of found it 😁
Much appreciated, we will be back so soon!
Lastly I must to add, the younger gentleman working at the counter (said he was new) was so patient and polite. All-around legit 5 stars other than (not discrediting) The fact that you cannot eat there, nor do thy have a restroom. Looking forward to trying more of their rolls!!! 😆

Diner Review №112

Best sushi ever!!

Diner Review №113

Pad Thai was disappointing- no vegis, not even sprouts. Red curry was good. Sushi was good.

Diner Review №114

good food !!

Diner Review №115

Very tasty sushi, noodles, and rice dishes. Large portion sizes for dinner and leftovers for lunch the next day. Fast and super friendly service. Highly recommend them and their Oak Park location.

Diner Review №116

Best asian food around. Have been back me any times and will continue to go back!! Love there food!!

Diner Review №117

Best sushi around. I go here often to get their sushi, and it is mouth watering. I usually order 2 rolls(12 sushi pieces) and 1 piece of nigiri which comes out to $15 even, so maybe a little bit pricey, but it is most definitely worth it.

Diner Review №118

I put 5 based on reviews. This is hilarous. I've tried unsuccessfully to get takeout from this restaurant 3 times. One time they were closed for some reason. One time it was on a Wednesday and my favorite pizza place was closed so I thought I would try them and dis covered Tai Pan was too! Today on 3rd try they are closed because of a food tour! Guess I'll keep trying! Sounds like great takeout from what I read.

Diner Review №124

Delicious sushi at a good price. We have been here on several occasions and everything we have tried has been good, especially their chicken fried rice!

Diner Review №125

MUST GO HERE!!!
First time here. We ordered the Chinese style beef fried rice, eggs rolls, and the General Tao chicken. Not only was everything absolutely delicious, but the portions were very large and the prices were very reasonable. We will definitely be going back!!!!

Diner Review №126

I finally found a neighborhood sushi place! I'll be back.

Diner Review №127

Diner Review №128

Quality sushi, Asian mix of Chinese and Thai.

They have good hot and sour soup.

Diner Review №129

Diner Review №130

The food here is amazing. So fresh and the quality is huge. We have ordered hot and sour soup, chicken fried rice, pad thai and spicy jumbo shrimp. All the items were so delicious and the aroma is so fresh. Though it is a small place and not allowing dine in right now, worth the wait and get food from here. The staff are so friendly. No pubpic restroom here

Diner Review №131

Diner Review №132

Very generous portions! I liked that food was not dry at all, very saucy, and flavorful. Also more than enough fresh veggies in my lo mein; the miso soup was very good too.

Diner Review №133

I ordered take out from here today for the first time, and I'm very satisfied! The packaging was very neat and secure to prevent spilling, the food was hot and tasted great, and I have plenty left over for lunch tomorrow. Will definitely be back again soon!

Very consistent, delicious food and at a fair price.

Diner Review №140

Great for at a great price. I order the spicy salmon roll and the schezwan shrimp and, it did not disappoint. The food had the right amount of spice. Not too, not too mild but right in the middle to enjoy. The portions were large and enough to enjoy the next day. I'll definitely be visiting again!

Diner Review №141

I love this place!

My wife used to work at a Thai and sushi House in Florida and it was one of the best places. Out of the dozens and dozens of restaurants we have been to since she worked at that one, none of them have compared.

Tai Pan is the first one that has the same style of Thai and Sushi.

Diner Review №142

Tai Pan is the best food around! As a vegetarian, I love the tofu pad thai, miso soup, and veggie sushi roll. The spring rolls are great too! The prices are very affordable especially when you see how large the portions are. 💕

Diner Review №143

Excellent food, I really enjoyed the fried rice and the massaman curry. The only caution I would give is for people who don't like spicy food. My wife and daughter like things really mild and out was too hot for them. I think we'll try asking for no heat next time.

Diner Review №144

Diner Review №145

We are avid sushi lovers. My husband lived in Japan and knows the real deal. This place is hands down the best sushi and pad Thai I have had in Michigan. They are a kind family owned place and put a lot of love in the food. The rolls were very large too! A must go to! Take my word!!! Love this place!

Tai Pan has great staff and ALL the food we have tried so far has been well above our expectations. We have ordered from here 4 times and will be back many more! Keep up the awesome food and service!!!

Diner Review №151

Excellent! We tried Tai Pan for the 1st time, all the dishes tasted great! The schezcheon was a little spicy, but we forgot to ask for mild. Pepper steak, orange chicken and lo mein was awesome! Would definitely recommend!

Diner Review №152

By far, Happiest experience of my life. I am a SUSHI FANATIC! I have tried loads of sushi. I look for serving size, quality, quantity, and authenticity.
Tai Pan, I give you a 5 star review! Presentation was so cute aswell. Its hard to make good sushi, and you did wonderfully!

Diner Review №153

Decided to try Tai Pan Restaurant for my New Years Eve dinner , I’m only sorry I didn’t try it sooner . Had sweet and sour chicken, chicken lo mein and Szechuan chicken , portions were very large and everything was very fresh , and at a very affordable price. The staff was very very friendly and very fast , I got there early and the food was ready to go . Can’t say enough good things about this place ....I will be a regular customer .

Ordered take out for dinner - HUGE portion of sweet and sour chicken/fried chicken rice (Didn't get photo before kids and hubs dug in - all 3 shared and still had leftovers.) I ordered chicken+shrimp pad thai. Lots of sauce, which I love, not a lot of BS, which I also love. Had a sweeter taste to it. Closest I've had to my favorite Thailand Express which went out of business a few years ago.
Michigan roll was also pretty good.

Diner Review №159

Food is always fresh and hot. Love that they're taking pandemic measures seriously! Website is kind of confusing. Look at menu instead of website.

Diner Review №161

It was cool

Diner Review №162

I have been looking for a good sushi place for a year now. I decided to try this place out based on the reviews here on google. I am very happy I did. I ordered shrimp tempura roll and crunchy crab roll. The shrimp tempura roll was good, but the crunchy crab roll was my absolute favorite. Lots of flavor. The staff were very polite as well. I will definitely visit there again. I can't wait to try other items from the menu.

Diner Review №163

My first visit tonight, I ordered the orange glazed chicken, OMG it's SO delicious !!

Diner Review №164

Very friendly, fast service! I had the chicken pad thai and chicken fried rice, both of which were delicious. The fried rice had a slight sweet taste which was amazing!!! The pad thai was great also, although slightly different than I am used to from thai places. A little too much sauce and noodles were slightly on the soft side. I got the pad thai medium and it was perfect for spice. I appreciate how they put the peanuts on the side.
Huge portions! Tons of meat! I would deffinitly eat here again.

Diner Review №165

Diner Review №166

Ordered chicken pad thai and im a little let down. Egg noodles instead of rice noodles, no bean sprouts at all... just a big glob of noodles, thick cut onion and minimal egg. Ordered it spicy and i dont think there was is a trace of crushed pepper. First and last time ordering from Tai Pan could have made better in my kitchen.

Diner Review №167

Everything is so good, the Japanese style chicken fried rice and pad thai are some of the best things ive ever tasted! Thanks for the awesome food chef

Diner Review №168

I looked up Thai food places near me. When I found out they have sushi as well I got excited and scared. The last place I tried that was that ocean inn or w/e it is on sashabaw rd in the plaza with the dollar store. It was disgusting the food I threw away. But I gave this place a shot.. Thia fai is amazing!! Even after not being able to eat it almost a hr later the flavor was incredible!!! This place is a half hidden gem in Waterford. I will recommend it to everyone I know who like thai food and sushi. I will for sure be a repeat customer! ♥️

Diner Review №169

Hands down, the best spot in the area. Great people, awesome prices and incredible flavors. Best Pad Thai and Massaman Curry I've had anywhere!

The sushi is AMAZING and aways fresh! The staff is very friendly. Fairly priced and generous portions. Highly recommend. I've tried almost every roll (save the ones that have shrimp as I'm allergic) and the "sunshine morning" is my absolute favorite! So good!

Wonderful food. Huge portions. Would get a 5 star rating if it had more seating.

Sushi is good as well.

Diner Review №194

Huge portions and the General Tso's had really good flavor with a little heat. My wife loved the Cantonese lo mein. Our new go-to in the Clarkston/Waterford area.
