Sunrise Thai Restaurant

A neighborhood Thai place snuggled into a little strip mall. Stopped in just before noon on an overcast Thursday. Good timing! There were two parties seated when I walked in. By the time I returned from washing my hands, there were 4 plus three walk-ins and the phone was ringing. Popular place with plenty of regulars. The to-go orders were a steady stream the entire time I was there but the one lady seating & taking orders was polite, friendly and efficient at dealing with everything. Bravo!
I was greeted immediately a grabbed a booth (there are 7 plus two other tables.
The menu is massive. Well organized with some pictures. Ordered the Pad Ped for my lunch which comes with hot & sour soup.
Vegetarians beware: the hot & sour soup has meat within. But it's tasty, as was my main course.
The music played quietly in the background where it belongs.

Order:
-Hot and Sour Soup (free, included in meal)
-Crab Rangoons
-Pad Thai, medium spice, with chicken, without bean sprouts.

Overall, it was an excellent choice. Their portion size was large enough to make two meals worth if appetizers are included. Their Hot and Sour Soup was very good, and their Crab Rangoons were the second best of any Thai restaurant I have been to. The Pad Thai was different than I'm used to. This one seemed to contain more oil and was stickier rather than wetter. The flavor seemed to lean more towards the peanuts and spice as opposed to the usual sour. It's different, but enjoyable.

The service is attentive without being obtrusive. A varied and interesting menu. The flavors in the Tom Yum Soup were complimentary and took “ comfort food” to the next level. I also enjoyed the Thai-themed art. I discover this unpretentious restaurant by pure luck; Sunrise Thai is my new fav Thai restaurant. Come and get spoiled!

If you are craving for some authentic Thai food then this is the place! Not only the food was awesome but they helped us select the right food! Guided us on the ingredients as well!

Yum food! The Thai curry was fabulous! Fried rice was ok but pad Thai was delicious!

Overall worth the visit!

Came here for the first time today after a long day of work and it was an amazing experience. Got the dumplings Thai tea and sesame chicken. Our waitress was fast and super sweet. Will be coming back :)

Was in the area and decided to try Sunrise Thai. I ordered Veggie Pad Thai and a Spring Roll. The person who provided my order was nice and the inside of the restaurant itself is very cozy and beautifully decorated.

My Pad Thai was delicious. Veggies could have been a little more crisp/ fresh but the flavor and sauce was great. I asked for medium heat and it was perfect. They did not dissapoint. My Spring Roll was a little small but every restaurant is different. It had a peppery taste that I don't normally find in my Spring Rolls but it was hot and crispy as I did eat it in my car soon after getting my order.

What this place lacks in curb appeal is made up for 10x over in quality.
One of the best Thai restaurants I've been too locally!

John R has to be one of the most underrated streets for the most authentic international food destinations in just a few miles.

Okay so I ordered some very American generic menu items.

I had just been craving some very specific flavors and I wanted to see how the basics would taste before getting to adventurous. I am on disability and can only afford one good outing a month and can't afford to buy food that tastes bad.

At first glance the Tom Kha w/ shrimp I ordered was smaller than I expected, the vegetables were large rough chopped.
However it has most buttery coconut broth with vegetables that had been brazed perfectly with vibrant flavors and fragrance.
This Tom Kha was spring time in a bowl!

The Pad Thai with chicken looked simple and decently portioned. The layers of flavor in the dish were surprising. I could taste the smokey grilled chicken throughout the dish. It permeated the layers with a complexity that only experienced chefs hands could create.

The next time I come here I will get much more adventurous. This place is amazing and has earned my confidence and respect.

My husband and I decided to try this place and all our expectations were exceeded! They have a wide range of menu that I haven’t seen in any other Thai place we’ve been so we tried the curry puffs, duck curry, and wonton soup along with our usual crab Rangoon. All the items we ordered were beyond delicious. They tasted fresh and not greasy. Cooked to perfection especially the Rangoon. The sauce also provided a good balance to the crispness of the Rangoon and puffs. This place is a hole in the wall. The inside is also well kept and modernized. We will definitely come back to this place as this is now our number 1 go to Thai restaurant! Bonus is that the staff were friendly and attentive :)

Sunrise opened in a new location today and they have done a great job updating and making the restaurant feel like an eat in restaurant and not just a takeout place. The food is the best we have found anywhere in Michigan. We have managed to try every item on the menu. The curry noodles with shrimp is a house favorite. But don't hesitate to try anything on the menu.

I don't give a perfect score easily but I feel if a food critic comes here they may very well get a Michelin star.

Pad Thai is verry good and I've had quite a few to compare, the portion is good the noodles are perfect size and their sause is complex and complementary to the Ingridents.

Table and plates are nice.

I struggle to find anything they could improve on short of installing lazy boy seats at every table what more could you want lol. Good job guys !

This is a go-to for us!! Honestly everything on the menu is a delight. I highly recommend trying all of the curries and more traditional dishes. The Pad Thai is the best in the area. A perfect spot!

My gym trainer recommended this restaurant as the best in metro Detroit. I do believe it’s pretty high up there. We ordered fried vegetable rolls, crab rangoon, curry puffs, chicken pad Thai, and the Thai iced tea. The iced tea was the best I’ve had in a long time, so good that even if the food was bad ( it wasn’t, thankfully!), I’d still go back just for the tea. The pad Thai was a bit different from the ones we’ve had and liked, but it had serious flavor going on! I’d like to try it again, but with shrimp & tofu and a little less heat. My husband devoured all the veggie rolls, and we fought a bit over the last crab rangoon. The curry puffs were unique, I’ve never had deep-fried dumplings with curried filling before, so that was also a good experience.
Overall, food was great, and I look forward to going back to try more dishes from their menu!

Fantastic food with friendly service. Menu has unique dishes that I haven’t found at other Thai places in the area.

The food is very good and the service is excellent. Its my new favorite place to have a nice Thai lunch.

This by far the best Thai place I’ve have ever had!! It tastes soo authentic to me! I had the Cury Noods! They were absolutely delicious and great moisture! Not dry at all, like most! I’m here again and am having the Shrimp Pad Thai! It’s perfect!!!!!

This Thai food is among the best I have had . I enjoy Thai Food almost weekly. I Read the reviews and decided to try the food. Wow ! Delicious and authentic. I ordered Drunken Noodles with Chicken and Shrimp. I ordered medium plus. It was spot on. The chicken was so flavorful.I was not disappointed and can’t wait to try other items on the menu.

Sunrise is on👏 point 👏every👏 time👏!! The Lardna and the drunken noodle are my favorite dishes there, but everything we've tried is insanely delicious

I got the N1 Pad Thai Dinner with Spring Rolls. Very delicious large portion size, the Mild+ was just perfect for me. Definitely will be ordering again.

I used to go to this location years ago, it had a different name then. This place is still as good as ever! The food was all good, and the staff was friendly. I will definitely be back.

Very good food. I love the prices. And the waitress are very friendly. I highly recommend.
