Go Sy Thai

Ordering food over loud music, asked to repeat my name and order several times. Wait 40 minutes, my wife went up to ask and the food was just sitting there. We ordered some crispy rolls and a drunken noodle, generally our favorite Thai dish, a very fresh noodle dish with cooked vegetables and a pepper sauce. Our meal was served with partially uncooked noodles, raw green peppers, no other vegetables and strange stringy beef. The dish was absolutely cold. The sauce was inexplicably brown and very separated, it had almost no flavor and was essentially a hamburger helper gravy flavor. Just for an extra jab I suppose the “crispy rolls”were partially cooked and entirely soggy. This was hands down the worst food experience we’ve had in Detroit. An absolute insult for $35.00.

I went by this weekend to pickup a Chicken Panang Curry right when they opened up. I opened the box and found a huge dead fly in it. It’s a shame because the food was delicious but I’m beyond disgusted about eating from there again.

Not for Asian taste bud, for sure. And, not sure why it has a 4-star rating out of 1k reviewers. Fried rice is just oily and too salty; the chef may not taste a proper fried rice before. The chicken of Pad Thai is mostly uncooked; let alone the taste, very bland. The spring roll is OK. But Hopefully, they can improve the food quality in the future. The cashier is friendly, tho.

I used to love Sy Thai and when I first moved here, everyone would recommended it. And I don’t want to be mean but the pad Thai is not good anymore. If I would’ve tasted it before traveling home, I would’ve asked for a refund. The first time the quality was low, I figured it must’ve been a tough day in the kitchen. Now, I just know, something has changed. ZERO flavor. No sauce. Over cooked noodles. Literally any sauce on this meal would’ve improved the flavor…any at all. I’m not even a very picky eater, but wow. The prices are high, but the quantities are large at least? Gave an extra star because the crispy roll has stayed the same.

Very disappointing experience at Sy Thai Restaurant. The food quality was below average, with dishes lacking flavour and quality. To make matters worse, there were hidden charges on the bill that were never mentioned when ordering. When I asked the staff about it, they mentioned about knowing it but didn’t seem to care much about sharing with me. To me, the service was unprofessional, and it felt like they didn't care about their customers at all. I would recommend everyone to pay attention to what they’re paying for.

Order Basil fried rice today and received a container of old dry rice. Large of chicken and no basil. Called she said they were out of basil but still fulfilled the order. This restaurant is a disaster every time I’ve ordered my dish was as disappointing as the first.The employee was less than helpful. In Midtown beware of this restaurant the bad reviews are here for you to decide

Don’t waste your money. I ordered the Drunken Noodles and was seriously disappointed. The noodles were so mushy they fell apart trying to pick them up with a fork. The sauce was oily and separated, there were barely any vegetables, and the chicken came in unappetizing little crumbs. Worst of all, it tasted like it was made with artificial beef broth. About halfway through, my stomach started cramping, and the rest of the night went downhill from there. Hard pass.

Loved the ambiance of the restaurant. Food was quite delicious, portion size was good too. Gonna try the noodles items next time for sure!

Although I've passed here on numerous occasions, this was my first time venturing inside and order from them. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. I ordered my go-to Thai order of Pad Prik with mild+ spice. It was absolutely delicious with the perfect amount of spice. I like the open kitchen which allows you to see the food being prepared. That's pretty cool!

Ordered two meals, drunken noodles and the egg noodles with fried tofu and veggies on both, hot level was perfect. They are so delicious and compliment each other :) Look forward to leftovers for another couple of days!

I hate leaving 1 star reviews, but I hate receiving 1 star service and food more. Sala Thai may be the last good Thai standing near downtown because this is not the Go Sy Thai I remember. Firstly, never order Grubhub from here - my first order was marked as delivered and it definitely wasn't. I didn't get a call or text or anything. Just 'delivered' and no food. So, I had Grubhub do a re-delivery. Takes over an hour. The driver arrived missing one of the entrees and all they could do was refund me. So, since this was an order for a group, I gave up my lunch. I was able to have a couple of spring rolls and tasted the hot and sour soup enough to know it was gross. Bummer. The Spring rolls should have had chicken and were $8.50 instead of $4.50 for the veggie ones, but I received veggie ones. Boo. They tasted ok dunked in plum sauce, but maybe that's because I had already been waiting an hour and a half to eat. The soup was basically inedible- it had the texture of lumpy gravy. No flavor, no bueno, lots of cornstarch. We paid $70 + tip for 3 curries, a soup and 2 spring rolls via Grubhub. My friend said the curry was good, but I have my doubts. Never again for me. Sad.

I was in Midtown late and wanted a quick casual dinner before heading home. Go! Sy Thai seemed to fit the bill. I ordered the fried rice and the food came out within a couple of minutes. Quick and easy. Kow Pad Fried Rice, Vegetarian ($14) - The fried rice has a good wok hei smokiness, with a nice, but somewhat one-note flavor from the soy sauce. The rice is appropriately cooked. It's a bit on the moist side rather than the dried fried side, but that could be because it was steaming in the box for a bit of time. Despite this, each grain of rice is distinct and not stuck together- a good hallmark for fried rice. It's not oily tasting at all. The rice is mixed with the classic fried rice veggies, including green onions, sliced onions, peas, and diced carrots. Thin shreds of scrambled eggs are mixed in to give a protein boost. The portion size is pretty big - probably at least 1.5 pounds. This is actually enough to last several meals, purely because of how extremely salty the fried rice is and how much water you have to drink to temper down the burning in your mouth. This is pretty expensive for a mediocre fried rice. (3/5) I can't really say that I would ever visit again, but I guess it's pretty convenient for a quick and filling meal.

Pretty good thai for a close option in Midtown! Solid crab rangoons, good pad thai, usually pretty quick

This place in midtown which is great place to just relax and hung out the food,Ambiance, and service, were all top notch I had the cashier recommend me something and it was really good would for sure go back again

This is the perfect little take out spot for Thai food. There's a no-frills environment here and is very carry out friendly and there is limited seating. Service is fast and the food is really good! Parking is tricky because there's a lot of congestion around Wayne State. So go in and don't be afraid to try something that sounds interesting to you. I do tofu pad Thai with extra egg and medium plus spicy! Excellent food!!

This is a great option for halal Thai food in Detroit with good portions and cheaper prices. It's very college-y, so I think that comes with it probably not being the most elevated or best Thai food out there. But I think for the portions and prices, it's great value.

Food and service were 5 star. I had the pad thai with chicken and the rangoon it was great!

Ordered drunken noodles. Food was amazing. I love the rich, not watery flavor. Will return to try pad thai as well

Delicious Thai food made fresh. Portions were enough for two meals. Also glad that it was next to a boba place where we went for dessert.

We stopped going there because the quality of food declined as the price went up. They don't have the real plum sauce anymore.

Great Food. Came here for lunch and got the Sy fried rice and it was excellent! Will be coming back

Order Uber Eats... Food is horrendous. Ordered gang oak and there was no coconut milk in it... tasted like dirty dishwater with red pepper flakes poured in. Rice was overcooked. What did you say? What did you get Curry noodle in the other dish was so overcooked it looked like a pile of crusty Mac and cheese. Terrible food. Egg rolls were sopping wet with oil and tasted like onion skins. And it was EXPENSIVE! Our bill was close to $90. Worst Thai I have ever had.

This place is going downhill fast. They've closed their other two locations, and this location claims that they are short-staffed. The only way they're short-staffed is if the owners are refusing to pay their employees a decent wage. Recent orders from Uber Eats have been awful...cold, flavorless. That's when they even turn on their delivery channels. Tonight, I called them and got them to turn on Uber Eats for a few minutes so I could place an order...which they then cancelled a short while later. I've spent probably $2,000 at this restaurant in the past few years, as a very frequent customer...I'm about ready to punch out.

I live close to this location, so I do visit fairly often since Thai is my favorite. I have found that the experience can be hit or miss. Today's experience was unfortunately a miss. I ordered carryout through the website and got a text when my order was ready. This is the normal way I order unless I go in and place my order inside. I was there for pick up within probably 10 to 15 minutes of receiving the text. When I arrived, there was only one person standing at the counter in front of me, who I believe was a door dasher. The staff was assisting them and informed them that the order they were picking up was not quite ready. I was then left standing there, while there were three employees behind the counter, not including the cooks. I wondered if maybe they could not see me for some reason?? I gave it a few minutes and I still was not greeted. I ended up asking for assistance because my order was ready. The staff even seemed confused that I had an order to begin with. I finally retrieved my food and went home. The experience was still not made up for by the food, unfortunately. My drunken noodles were totally bland even though I ordered medium spice and my side of peanut sauce was left out, even though I had paid for it. I was able to go back and get a side of peanut sauce and luckily I was assisted by much more helpful staff this time. I don't really know what's happening to this location but hopefully this is not a constant because of its convenient location. Just extremely disappointed today.

First time trying Go! Sy Thai and ordered just Pad See Ew medium with chicken...and I have to say it's one of the best Pad See Ew dishes I've had (and I've had it at A LOT of places). Pleasantly spicy, not overwhelming and very tasty. Ordered over the phone for carryout which was quick and easy - only part that was a bit frustrating is that my boyfriend picked up my order and they had extreme trouble finding my order (couldn't find my name/entree/anything). Would love an online order option so this wouldn't even be problematic in the future!

Best orange chicken I've ever had. Nice spot on the corner. Grab some bubble tea next door after.

You know when you're craving Thai and say to yourself "just give them one more try. The previous four attempts were flukes!" Unfortunately not. I was missing 30% of my order and the drunken noodles were meh at best. I really, really don't like writing bad reviews. And, as I just mentioned, I give restaurants that I want to love... several chances. My shrimp udon were good, that's helpful! If you go, I suggest the Capital Park location. I also suggest dining in. That way you can be sure to get what you order and the staff there has been helpful. It can get crowded at that location, parking can be tricky too. But I won't go back to the Cass location.

Portion size is huge. Definitely 2 meals in one. Not the best Thai food but it's good. The one downtown is better for dining in.

I walked in and ordered a Chicken Pad Thai and Hot & Sour soup. Pretty simple. After waiting for over a half hour and seeing customers that came after me getting their food, I approached the counter and asked where my food was. They did not give me an answer, but I could clearly see that they placed several tickets in front of mine. Once notified, they worked on my order, all in all a 50 minute wait for Thai food! Ridiculous! After I got my food, I was equally disappointed with the flavor. Not sure I will be back.

I ordered Pad Thai and let me tell you not only was it the palest pad Thai ever but it made me pretty sick. At first, I wasn't sure it was the food. But then once I ate the leftovers the next day after trying to add flavor and actual season to it I immediately threw up. I'm not sure if it was the quality of the chicken or what. Lets just say I will not be returning back. consider this a warning!

This place is in a really nice location and has a great atmosphere inside. It isn't super huge but is spacious for non-busy times in my opinion. There are nice murals, the place is clean and the menu has great food options. I got the pad see ew which was too sweet for my taste, but the appetizers were pretty good. The food was made quickly and the customer service was pretty good. A lot of self serve (napkins, water, sauce etc) after you get your food but didn't have a concern with that. If you're looking for a new thai spot, i would suggest this place and see how you like it! Maybe you can ask them to go down on the sweetness depending on your dish.

Nannapas is extremely rude. Food amazing. Customer service has gone down over the years.

While in Detroit, we decided to find a place to eat and found Go Sy Thai. We love Thai food so it was a no brainer to come here and order take out as we were passing through. We called in an order for Drunken Noodles and Potato Curry mild, both with tofu and they were quick and very polite. So far so good.... As we opened our take out boxes, the portions seemed great for the price. So far so good... However I was surprised how small the rice that came with the potato curry was. It was really small, like for someone who wants a low carb diet. We tried the drunken noodles which were tasty at first, but as we continued eating, we realized it was salty. As we tried the potato curry, it too had a salty taste. The overall flavor that seemed consistent with both dishes was that it was salty. This is even more apparent when we didn't have enough rice to balance out the saltiness. What looked promising turned out to be subpar in quality. We downed a bunch of water after that meal. Plus we heard that they charge extra for vegan, which we don't get...why the discrimination, man??

This place is pretty cool for casual, large portions of Thai food. We had actually tried to go to Takoi but the wait was too long for eating companion. We went here on a Saturday night and walked right up and placed our order. They have a good sized menu to choose from and you can pretty much customize it however you like. The portions are also pretty large so you definitely get full. My eating companion was definitely happy with this choice because we were able to eat right away and he had leftovers. I wouldn't say that it was amazing but it will definitely satisfy your Thai food craving. If you're in the area and don't want a long wait, give thema try. And don't forget to try the Thai iced tea. It's delicious!

I went here back when they first opened and loved it. It's not disgusting, but it's not as good as it used to be. I'll probably give it a break and try again in a few months or so before I write them completely off.

If you're from Thailand and you feel like going somewhere and sighing, then Go Sigh, Thai! Not a big fan of this place. All the students on campus are obsessed with it so wait times can be absolutely insane. I don't blame them for that, but the actual taste of the products are not at all worth the hype. Pad Thai, Curry, fairly average. The Thai Tea is between 3 and 4 as is the bubble tea next door which is the same owner. Service is not great and the lobby is basically a free-for-all with people trying to steal my stuff and take my money and constantly hitting me up for money. So altogether I give it three stars for being a little overrated.

I stopped by while I was in Midtown. I was craving udon noodles and in the past I have really enjoyed their udon. I ordered ahead online, but I accidentally placed it at the downtown location. The staff at both locations were very friendly. Specifically the guy working at the Midtown one. He had my meal prepared asap and was extremely helpful and friendly about the mix up. I ordered 4 spring rolls and mild udon with shrimp. I remember the food being better. It has never been high quality, but the taste was a lot better in the past. I am only giving 3 stars due to the worker. The shrimp was overcooked and the spring rolls were inedible. They were too greasy and they just didn't taste good. The noodle itself was okay. I probably wouldn't return because the I don't think I'd crave it again after this last time. I do recommend that you try it out if you're in midtown and looking for some asian food.

I wanted to love this spot as from initial view it seemed quick, cheap, fast, and delicious just judging from uploaded photos. But it wasn't really quick, fast or delicious... Let's start by examining why my I think my food took so long... Take out orders, phone in orders, and online orders seemed to back up the orders coming in person. Probably waited close to 25-30 minutes for my food to come out which I should've noticed from the look of everyone else looking frustrated and hangry. I did the drunken noodles with tofu and my wife had ordered the pad see ew with beef. Drunken noodles were kinda disappointing in flavor and the pad see ew didn't taste like pad see ew at all. All around disappointing it took so long for the food to come out and was just meh. On the plus side, everything will cost ya under $10 which is great for the nearby students. Aside from that, this spot was a miss for me. 'Til next time.

Actually amazing. I dream about the drunken noodles. My boyfriend and I talk about it all the time. Food 10/10

Terrible service -- waited almost 40 minutes longer than food was promised by. They were super backed up with orders and had 20+ people waiting on their food to be ready when I got there.

Great Thai food around Detroit. Inside was decorated with Thai paintings and decorations. Server was helpful and friendly. Went the for dinner, didn't had to wait long to order. Order the chicken See Iew, which was wide noodles with sweet soy sauce, broccoli and egg. Had a little wait for the food, but it was definitely worth the wait. Food was tasty and saucy. Overall, nice restaurant for some Thai food around the area. After we left, it started to crowding up (came on the right time).

For on the go Thai this spot is pretty good. The space itself inside is kind of small. However, the food quality is pretty good for what it is. I usually go with the pad Thai medium spice. The portion is enough to fill me up and I usually have leftovers as well. The food has always been fresh so you aren't getting cold food. The service has been a bit slow at times but there are also a lot of customers so that is understandable.

So disappointing. The fried tofu was not fried it was pure mush and couldn't eat it. The spring rolls were burnt. I was not impressed and will not be back....way over priced.

Convenient, on campus, fast-ish Thai food. It gets really busy during lunch rush, I can tell you that much. They estimate how long of a wait you would expect for your food, I appreciate that. My order is Curry Pad Thai with Chicken and medium spice. I eat this one every time. The sauce to noodle ratio is perfect, and I love the bean sprouts that they throw on top. This restaurant has a great view of the dog park, and being a dog lover, I enjoy sitting on the bench facing the dog park and dog watching!

I would give this place a 3.5 if I could, but my last visit was so underwhelming I'll keep it at a 3. It's not great but not bad. It's one of those places where you're happy it's there, but at the same time wish it would try a little harder to be something better because it has potential. I had the pad Thai and like others have said it's numbingly sweet! Yuck! It also lacked any real flavor since the sugar taste was so overpowering. Then I ordered the raw veggie rolls. Wow. I had instant regret. $4.50 for mostly rice paper and lettuce. The sauce it comes with is again way too sweet and they didn't put cilantro in it like it says it comes with. If it were cheaper or if they upped the flavor with a different sauce or more veggies inside, then I would have been happier.

My partner and I ate here for the first time today, because the place we wanted to order takeout from is closed on Sundays. Portions are HUGE so we're excited to have leftovers for multiple meals! On top of this, I ordered the Gang Gai curry at the spiciest level and you know what? It was actually spicy Maybe I just got lucky today, but sometimes the "fire" or hottest spice levels restaurants list are just a tease I don't mind being charged a bit extra to make our food vegan - it's $0.50 not multiple dollars. Staff was friendly if you're concerned about that, but I do not care as long as the food is good. I'm not going to say it's the best curry I've ever had, but I also don't want anyone to thing that's a bad thing - because like sometimes you just want a solid curry on a Sunday ‍

Quite good Thai spot with a lot of flavorful dishes. The pot stickers were excellent, and the crispy roll was a bit weird but good. Two long rolls that you really need to cut into multiple pieces - rather than doing multiple smaller rolls. A bit of a strange choice. The Pad Thai is excellent, I greatly enjoyed that one - and the orange glazed chicken (while not really Thai) was exceptionally good. Brown rice was a nice option as well. I do have to knock off a star for the Thai Peanut... not sure if I got a bum batch, but it contained no appreciable peanut taste at all - considerably more for the Pad Thai. Based on other reviews, this seems like a very atypical experience, so I will have to try this one again. It was not good - it was just a brown sauce with no appreciable flavor. Everything else was great though, so I would try again.

First time visit. Grabbed a menu- because you order at the counter. Lunch special was 10 bucks and you got a entree, spring roll and a pop. Regular dinner prices werent much higher. Menu has 3 steps. Choose entree, choose meat, choose spice. Spice level can go no spice to high spice. I got Chicken Drunken Noodles and BB got a Fried rice dish I cant remember with broccoli and egg. Filled my drink cup, found a seat, and waited til we got our name called. Chairs were aluminum. Went to pick up my plates about 12 minutes later. Spring rolls came in a wax bag with sauce containers. Nice and crunchy, filled just right. Couldnt tell if they were frozen or made there, probably the first. But it was good. My noodles were awesome! I got medium and it was just what i was looking for. Enough to still taste the food. It was a great portion size! i took home around a cup. We were in and out in about an hour. We will be back for lunch. I would also call or order online for pickup.

I decided to give this place another try. I can't believe how bad it was. There was no sauce; the food was so bland and horribly cooked. I don't know why anyone orders food from this awful place. It was, by far, the worst pad see ew I have ever had.

You gotta know what to get when you go to Sy Thai. Unfortunately, the most popular Thai dishes, I do not believe Sy Thai is the best at. Def not my fave Pad Thai or Pad See Ew place - too saucy for my liking. However, the two dishes our fam always gets when we choose to eat Sy Thai is the Von Sen (we get it with steamed tofu) and the Potato Curry (either with beef or chicken). Today I made a discovery though - I found out that Sy Thai has a great Tom Yum soup!! Super flavorful and delicious. Had it with the chicken today and the chicken was really tender and yummy! Adding it to our list of things to order from here! :)

This was my first time at "Go Sy Thai" - I am a big fan of the Birmingham, and later the Troy, locations, so I was curious to try this one out. A friend and I were going to see a show at the Fox later that evening, so we stopped by here for some dinner beforehand. I ordered the Pad Pak, with chicken, and he ordered the Potato Curry, also with chicken. I didn't even try his dish because I got mine mild, and he got his extra hot, but he said it was good. At the Troy/Bham locations, I always order the Ka Prow, so the Pad Pak was not quite as good (I'm a fan of the Ka Prow's sauce - which was the same in this dish - and also the mushrooms and other veggies in it). The carrots in this dish were very good though, as was the chicken. I'd come back here for a quick meal if I'm ever downtown, but realistically I will probably keep frequenting the other two locations since they're a lot closer to me.

From a vegan point of view, this place is amazing. Why? Do you know how difficult it is to find a thai restaurant that can "veganize" ANYTHING on their menu? No. Hey I'm not one of those wild foodies that likes to try everything, and usually go for red curry dishes such as curry noodle or gang gai, but you'd be surprised as to how many thai places say "No we cannot make this vegan." Disappointing because it makes no sense why half and half is needed when they already use coconut milk (this is usually the reason). Also if you don't ask, you won't even realize that they often use fish and oyster sauce in MOST dishes.... so after all this, knowing that I can come here and can ask for any item to be vegan (yes they are kind enough to include it on their menu), it really makes me appreciate Sy Thai. The only reason I knocked off a star is because they charge you an extra $0.50 to make it vegan. It's not like they are adding anything, in fact they are taking things out so it really just seems unnecessary. Other then that, they definitely would be worthy of a five star because the food is AMAZING!

A friend and I were initially planning to go to HopCat. They didn't have parking so we went here. This was our first time eating at Go! Sy Thai. The atmosphere was pretty rustic. I ordered the Pad Thai with shrimp, mild. The portion size was big, and the food was very tasty. You would place your order at the register, wait for your food, then they would call you up when it's ready. They don't serve you at the table. Their pad thai was not dry and had some sauce to keep it moist. The shrimps was a little over cocked, but again, they do get an A+ in flavor. Silverware options were real utensils or plastic. They were in a tray for customers to get as needed. The silver utensils were dirty and I didn't feel confident in this pandemic to use. My friend agreed as well. My friend ordered drunken noodles and stated it was very tasty! I would come back and order their food again as take out. I'm giving it a 3 because their food(for what we ordered) was very flavorful. The atmosphere, silverware was dirty, and cleanliness was subpar.

Food isn't bad, but came here to sit and eat while not outside. No A/C :( Their Thai isn't good enough to get over that customer service

My go-to spot during undergraduate at WSU. Ahhh, the memories. This is like the baby version of the Sy Thai in Troy. I've been going here since they opened in 2014. It's reasonably prices and delicious. The food: I've tried pretty much everything in the menu and everything is tasty! I always go with a friend and split a curry and noodle. Specifically, potato curry and pad thai or drunken noodle. You'll find yourself to be full and happy after. They also have halal chicken! I love how it's conveniently located in Midtown. There's not that many options for Thai food down here, so it's great to have one that's quick and yummy. Great for take out! But also great for lunch at eating in. During evening time this place can get quite busy but there's a good turn-over rate for getting a seat so you don't have to wait too long. Hip hop is often played in the background. Something about hip hop and Thai food together is just dope. Go! Sy Thai satisfies the taste buds and that just keeps be coming back here! Whether for dinner before a concert or just for catching up with a friend! Super cool being able to watch this place grow over the years. TIP: They no longer serve Thai tea but you can walk over to next door's Tou and Mai (same owner) to buy! They also have bubble tea! TIP 2: Bring your student ID, they often have 10% off for students!

I haven't been here in a while and placed a carry out order today. Prior to today, I would give this place 4 stars for the good flavor, lots of vegetables and efficient service. I really like the Vegetable Curry which is typically abundant with vegetables: baby corn, peapods, broccoli, cabbage, eggplant, carrots, mushrooms and water chestnuts. I was very disappointed today to find that the portion size has been reduced by 1/3, and my meal was mostly sauce and fewer vegetables. Eggplant has been removed from the menu, and I received only 3 small pieces of each veg. 10 bucks for 1 baby corn cut into thirds, 3 peapods, a 1/4 inch piece of broccoli, a few slices of cabbage, one mushroom cut into quarters and 5 slices of water chestnut and lots of sauce and rice. Not impressed. Service was friendly, quick and great. Taste was just fine. I'm just disappointed that I got a lot of filler and not a lot of substance.

I love this place! It's some of the best Thai food in the city in my opinion. I think for me what really stands out with them is how consistent they are with keeping me satisfied. No surprises, they literally consistently taste great every time. When I was pregnant with my last baby this place was one of the only places that my husband was confident would satisfy my appetite and wouldn't mess my order up. The Kow Pad with shrimp is literally amazing and hands down my favorite dish from here. The staff is always friendly and the environment is always relaxing and pleasant.
