TN Thai Bistro

Lame on all accounts. I’m not sure I would even call this Thai food. I’ve been there 5 times because my wife likes sushi. Every meal I’ve had there is bland and for some reason comes with HUGE chunks of barely cooked American vegetables. Sushi is just okay. So it’s fine if you want to sit down for average-​poor sushi, but that’s about it.

That one time I found a cockroach in my carry out…
I’m so sad to report this because this was our go-​to spot for Thai in the Pointes but this is too disgusting and concerning not to post. Got takeout Sunday night and halfway thru my plate (vomit) noticed a full on dead roach in my Von Sen noodles. I’ve already notified the restaurant — they were very apologetic and gave me a full refund, but since this is also a public safety concern I put a call in to the department of environmental health as they are clearly overdue for an inspection. Bums me out bc I hate to eff with anyone’s livelihood but please give it a good 6 months at least if you’re considering visiting until they can clean up their act…

Boooo! Don’t go here. It’s a sad representation of what Thai food can be in my opinion. Everything we’ve tried here we’ve been disappointed with. I honestly think the only reason it’s still in business is because it’s one of the only Thai places in the pointes.

Mediocre food at best, very disorganized, table service is poor and takeout is hit or miss, mistake and missed items on both of my last orders.

Honestly, the food is great, the service is great, and the environment is great. I had the chicken pad curry with an inside out California roll and it was a beautiful experience. I’d highly recommend it and I’ll revisit.

This is probably the best Thai restraint in the area and your best bet. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by a smiling face and got taken to a booth in the back area. Next, the waitress droped off the chips and they were amazing. Then I had the Tom Yum soup and it was above par. Lastly, I had noodles and they were amazing. I will be coming back

We have been here a few times and we usually get the Thai food which is fine. This review is for the sushi. We ordered $ 70 worth of sushi for carryout when they opened at noon. The best tasting roll was the eel avocado. The shrimp lovers and rainbow looked appealing but didn’t taste like much. The fish was not fresh, the rice was dry and the rolls were all loose and so they were hard to pick up. Will stick to the Thai food next time.

Best Thai Food in Michigan! (But don’t get the sushi see below) my favorites as follows:
Springs rolls are great with amazing house made sauce for dipping (I could drink it!)
I always get the chicken in the following dishes — always moist and good portion
Pad Thai: best pad Thai I’ve ever had, hands down. They really can bring in the spice level — I usually get medium which I think is a true medium. Add pineapple it’s delicious
Pad Ped: Eggplant mushrooms onion etc in delicious red curry sauce with rice — Amazing!
Masamun: yellow coconut curry with thin crinkle round potatoes peas, onions and rice
Sizzling Eggplant: comes with chicken & beef, eggplant with a sweet savory spicy brown sauce
Pad Prik– not impressed, bland flavor
Pass on the sushi — not good — dry crunchy rice, not a fan of the crunchy roll app either– dry
Pass on the Pad Curry — bland not spicy to requested and honestly tastes like stale peanut noodles
Also the Panang left something to desire, not enough flavor outside of just curry and for some reason falls flat

this place blew my mind, but not in a good way. the service was piss poor and it smelt like pot. half of our parties food came out a half hour earlier than the rest. I also was served some kind of packaging peanut semi edible chip. before I even asked for a discount the staff came up and told me there are no refunds as well. no bubble tea either … what a joke :(
p.s
this place is full of bitches, and not the bad kind

I got take out here with a friend, so I can’t comment on the service or décor, but I can say that the food was solid. I got the Pad Pak, and my friend got the Pad Ped. Both were flavorful and with fresh veggies and ample portions. They don’t kid around with their spices though! I normally can eat medium plus at most places and on a whim I got medium here… thank goodness! The medium made my lips tingle from just a small portion. Definitely delicious, but be careful on the spice!

I work at a local hospital and this is one of our favorite places to order out! I’ve never had anything from this place that i didn’t like.
Crispy rolls and crab rangoon are a couple of my favorite apps.
Beyond the basic Pad Thai (which is amazing), I recently tried the Pad Prik, medium, with chicken. It was just what i needed to get through the rest of my 12 hour shift. Perfectly spicy with a delicious brown gravy.
I look forward to the days I know we are ordering TN Thai Bistro!

This is a review of vegan sushi. I am not impressed. The rolls are lacking flavor and each piece falls apart. The avocado is under ripe and you can tell the other vegetables aren’t fresh. Overall, not worth the money. Go to blufin sushi which is an amazing product for a price you can’t beat.

I have eaten thai food all over the metro detroit area as well as in thailand and I don’t understand why people love this place. The waitstaff is extremely nice, the location is very conveniently for people in Grosse Point but the food is quite mediocre. It is certainly worth driving a bit further (St. Clair Shores) to get far better flavor. The only dishes worth getting are the standards and noodles (drunken noodles, pad thai, pad see ew, satay, yum apple salad) which work in a pinch, but not great. I’m a big curry fan and those have been a huge let down every time. Also, make sure if you like spice/​heat to order very spicy, their hot is quite mild.
Another flag for this place is that they serve sushi. Sushi is japanese and should never be made with jalapenos or nacho cheese. Come on…

Always a good meal! Sushi is always fresh. Service timely.
Only qualm is that the level of heat greatly varies based on who is cooking. If concerned– order low and spice to taste.

Wow wow wow… been waiting to go here for a while, since I moved close to the lake. This place met my expectations and then exceeded them!
The look and feel of the place is relaxing. The booths are very comfortable, the tables are inviting and the atmosphere is just serene. It’s not loud but it’s not «I can hear a pin drop» quiet. Located in a busy area of Grosse Pointe, this is up there with the best eateries in the neighborhood.
Where do I begin? I ate so much food in one sitting, I felt like a mix between Henry VIII and William Howard Taft. The SO and I first split edamame and crab rangoon — both were quite dleicious. For $ 3 they give you a lot of edamame, and it’s not the kind where the soy beans are already out; you actually have to «suck» them out of the pod. Very good. And the ragoon was among the best I have had anywhere, notably the sauce that is served with it. Mmm mmm good.
Now, I’m not the biggest Thai fan in the world, but the drunken noodle I ate her was simply amazing. It comes with bell peppers, bamboo shoots, sprouts, basil and is covered in bourbon sauce. I ordered the «mild» and it was still quite spicy… some people can really feel the burn when it comes to Thai food! It was awesome, though, and I would definitely eat it again. It was filling but not Italian pasta-​like filling.
Oh, but wait… there’s moooore! I also got the spicy salmon roll, which was 8 pieces of deliciousness at my fingertips. The salmon was excellent, as was the spicy mayo. Great kick, especially with the ginger and wasabi. The SO loved her veggie sushi rolls, too, and they were pretty huge.
The service was excellent. Our waitress came frequently and filled us in on menu items we maybe weren’t sure about (she explained that I/​O stands for «inside out» for the sushi, meaning the outside is rice and not seaweed. The more you know…). Also, another woman would walk around and fill up our water glasses. That was great because my food was on the spicier side. The presentation is also very good, with the plates and soy sauce holder and all. Each table has extra spices as well, if needed.
I have no complaints at all. For three Sushi rolls, drunken noodle, rangoon and edamame, the bill was less than $ 40. Not bad for great food in an area that is notorious for expensive restaurants. Will come again, and hopefully soon.

Grosse Pointe is always an interesting place to come to when you spend a good chunk of time in Detroit, but we crossed the border anyway to have some dinner at TN Thai. The staff was very friendly and patient with us. Instead of breadsticks, we received a basket of shrimp chips which was a pleasant surprise! We ordered the Curry Noodle with Chicken and the Potato Curry. The food came quickly and the serving sizes were very generous. I think we only finished about a third of each plate and we packed up the rest to bring home for leftovers. My curry noodle was delicious — there was enough sauce to keep the noodles tasty and flavorful. My friend really enjoyed the potato curry and commented on how the potato chunks were very full of flavor — not bland like you would expect with such large chunks. Overall, it was a good, safe option for a quick dinner in the area.

Whenever I crave Thai food this is the first place that comes to mind. They have hands down the BEST Thai food. All their ingredients are fresh and their portion sizes are huge. You definitely get your money’s worth. And omg the service! Wow what a great staff. Everyone is always so nice and polite! It’s a very enjoyable experience coming here that is why I continue to come back :)
Oh and my favorite thing to get here are the drunken noodles with vegetables. Soooooo freaking good! They add mushrooms which I love and I always substitute bell peppers for pineapple. They always give me a generous amount unlike some other places I’ve gone where I had to dig into my plate to find them.

I haven’t been to this place in about a year until today and couldn’t remember how it was. True to my nature I ordered sushi.
The service was great and the food was reasonably priced (especially for it to be in Grosse Point) and awesome. My hand roll was huge filled with a TON of tuna. My nigiri was a nice size too I was actually shocked. The Shrimp California was also very good. I tend to stick to the raw sushi but wanted to try something I never had.
Overall this place was awesome and I definitely will be coming back!

Just moved to the area from Detroit where I used to order the drunken noodles from Bangkok Crossing down on woodward. I loved the dish from there so I figured I’d give the drunken noodles from here a try. They were actually way better! They tasted less salty yet still filled with flavor.
Also can I say how satisfied I was with the service?! Our food came out in literally under 10 minutes of ordering and our waitress kept my glass filled with water. I love the location. The large windows give the place a great downtown feel as you can watch the traffic drive by. A+!!

This is my favorite thai place in the area! The staff and management are very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The food is fresh and delicious, comes out reasonably fast, and they never get our orders mixed up.
We took my mom here when she visited from California and she loved it, too! Plus they offer deep fried ice cream, (who could dislike deep fried ice cream?) and even brought out a free order of it for our table to share on my birthday! Now that’s good service.
