Thai Taste To Go — Restaurant in Bloomfield Township

Update: I ordered the LK1 Kow Pad Thailand w/ chicken again today (about a month or so since my first visit.) This time I ordered it at the medium plus spice level and without onions (I’m just not a fan of cooked onions on much of anything). My order was even better than last time! I will definitely continue to use Thai Taste To Go!! ——- I tried Thai Taste To Go for the first time today. I am not an expert of Thai food but always go with fried rice & chicken dishes. I ordered the LK1 Kow Pad Thailand w/ chicken and medium spice. It was excellent! True spice aficionados will likely want to ratchet up the heat level, but the medium was more than sufficient for me - spice level was not wanting. At $10.95 + tax/tip, it was a deal - the portion was more than enough for me to get stuffed at lunch with a sizeable remainder for later tonight or tomorrow. Service was also quick (I got there perhaps 15 minutes after ordering online and they asked me to wait 5 minutes, which I thought very reasonable since they estimated 30 minutes.) Again, I’m not a Thai expert, but I’m also finicky and I suggest it’s worth your while to give them a try! I’ll...

Unfortunately (for me) they have gotten much busier over the past couple years, but Thai Taste to Go is still one of my favorite Thai restaurants. Although it is carry-out only, it is the only real remaining Thai Taste.

My favorite dish here is Kow Pad Kra Tiem (garlic fried rice) and the hot and sour soup is also great. I was never a fan really of fried rice, until I had Thai fried rice for the first time years ago, on the suggestion of a friend. This particular variant is just perfect — filled with garlic, lots of flavor and always delicious. Not to mention, they still offer the classic pre-Covid large portions. I usually get several meals out of one.

Also I have to mention in modern times, so many restaurants, when fulfilling carry-out orders, seem to either slip up on one or more things frequently or at minimum, still once in a while. Thai Taste to Go has never disappointed me in this regard and orders are always exactly...

This is my favorite Thai place I've found in metro Detroit. It's a hole in the wall and not pretentious. Big portions that cost less than other Thai places in the area. My one complaint is that "medium" spicy is not medium by American standards. It is HOT. I used to order medium and it was fine, but now it is too hot. I have never ordered mild at a restaurant before but I am regretting ordering medium today. I honestly cannot enjoy my pad Thai or fried rice. My mouth is on fire. I eat hot salsa on the regular but this is beyond me. Stick to mild if you don't want to sweat or have a burning mouth. I will go back again, but order mild for everything.

Edit 11/2022. I went back in October after moving away. We got mild Pad Thai. It was perfect. But beware mild still has chillies in it! You need to order No Spice if you can't...
