    Cozy place with excellent food!! The pad Thai was delicious 🤤 I love spicy food and they offer five levels of heat. Since it was my first time I went with the third level which was right in the middle. There was enough to let me know there was heat in it, but next time I will definitely go for the fifth level SUPER SPICY 🌶 CANT WAIT!! The wait staff was extremely friendly and very helpful. I cannot wait to go back! They are very reasonable and pricing and have a lot of options. If you’re in the neighborhood and looking for a quick lunch or dinner, this is definitely a place to try.

    We checked in at a hotel across the street and the place had reasonable reviews so we decided to check it out. The restaurant is very simple and the food was okay for the price. I had the Panang Curry with chicken and they served crab chips as we started ordering. The server was friendly but our dinners came to the table with 10 min difference so we didn't eat at the same time even though there were few guests. If you like spicy be careful with the hot option, I like it hot but the medium plus I got was almost too much... I will probably not become a regular here but it was okay for a one time dinner.

    Lue Thai has really kind staff and their peanut 🥜 curry was amazing. Their chicken satay was excellent as well! Easy parking nearby and nice interior decor

    came to Lue Thai Cafe, and was greeted by the kind staff. Didn’t realize we came in near closing time. But was still seated and was made sure that it was ok. The food was delicious! 😋💕 will definitely be going back here!

    Delicious. Consistent. Have eaten here at least 25 times and have never been disappointed. One of my favorite take out spots in Dearborn.

    Have visited a few times, have not had a disappointing meal. Small space, maybe not the best for very large groups, but great for groups of 4-6 for sure. Update 2023: Still a great place, food is reasonably priced and service was top notch.

    What a delight! We popped in here quick for a lunch while on a work trip, and we’ll absolutely keep returning. The owner met us at our table with cabbage soup, it was delicious, chatted with us about the menu, advised on spice levels, and we both landed on two dishes we wouldn’t normally order. Spoiler alert: BOTH FANTASTIC. We started with the crispy shrimp in rice paper and really enjoyed them. I went with the Peanut Noodles, which was a comfortably dense thick noodle dish with fresh cut veggies, shrimp (you pick the protein), and a Thai peanut sauce. I got though maybe half and was stuffed. Took the rest home to devour later. My friend ordered the Curry Noodles, and it was like a next level pad Thai. Very, very tasty. This place is the definition of eating fresh and local, and it was a joy to share a meal and a conversation here.

    The thai tea was cheap and really good. The pho was not particularly great. They already add the gratuity to the bill, take this into account for you tipping amount

    Service is great. You can tell they are short of people but the lady in floor tried her best to serve us. Food served very fast which was common in Thai restaurant. Kids food were great! The fired rice was amazing and the satay chicken was tendered. Curry food was above average. But the CU(flat noodles) was 😭 my was too sweet and my sisters’ was too slaty. The cooking way was not right either. They were too wet… Overall, recommend for Thai food but not recommend for the flat noodles(all)

    Really great place for Thai food. Had some recently in Toronto and this is the closest i found to authentic places. The drunken noodles and green curry are both great. Definitely ask for the fresh Thai chili paste.

    Cozy restaurant, easy to locate. Staff is courteous. Food is great. There is just nothing to complain about. Nice decor and and we were pleasantly surprised to see some freebies and soup being served. We ordered chicken satay, chicken Kow pad and pineapple fried rice. Apart from the pineapple fried rice which I would rate 3/5, the rest was 5/5. Overall great restaurant in Dearborn. Do try

    First time eating here while visiting for my niece’s graduation. The hosts were very friendly and the food was absolutely delicious! We started off with fresh rolls and vegetation spring rolls: both were tasty. As my brother in law frequented this restaurant, he spoke to the owner and inquired about the upcoming summer menu, which will include papaya salad! To our delight the owner prepared one for us which was both fresh & authentic; he did not disappoint, as the spicy sauce and even the small crabs nailed all the right details. As for the main entrees, the flavor profiles of both the pad ped (with beef) and the keaw warn were amazing! All in all we were very happy with the food and service and will be definitely patronizing this family business 😎👍🏽

    I recently visited Lue Thai Cafe and let me tell you, it was like a hole-in-one dining experience! As a vegetarian, I appreciated the wide variety of vegetarian options on the menu. The fresh rolls were so tasty, they were like hitting a clean drive right down the fairway. And the drunken noodles were a hole-in-one - the perfect combination of sweet, spicy, and savory. What really impressed me was how accommodating the restaurant was to people with allergies - it was like hitting a perfect chip shot out of a sand trap. The service was top-notch, as attentive as a golf caddy. And the owner is a true pro, making sure every dish is as satisfying as a winning putt. And let's not forget about the Thai iced tea - it was so refreshing and sweet, it was like hitting a perfect shot onto the green on a hot summer day. But what really took me by surprise was the cheesy noodles - it was like discovering a new club in my golf bag! Overall, Lue Thai Cafe is a must-visit for anyone looking for a fun and delicious dining experience. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, like a day on the links. So, whether you're a vegetarian, a spice lover, or just someone who appreciates good food and a good time, make sure to check out Lue Thai Cafe. It's definitely a hole-in-one!

    Service is good and Food was delicous but the Tum Yum soup was not good at all since it was too lemony and did not taste like Tum Yum. Also, when I received the check, I found out they already added 18% tip although there was only 3 of us. I know they should do it incase of 6 people or more so wonder why they did that. Also they had additional section for tip so be careful not to tip twice.

    Last 2 times I got them it was horrible. I used to love this place.... I have the same order every time drunken noodles and spring rolls. the last time i got it it was allllllll bean sprouts. i called them and let them know I wasnt happy in a respectful way and told them I want to come in and bring it back to show them how theres no noodles ( didnt care for them to remake it, i just wanted to show them) and they said even if i were to come in they wont remake it for me because they think its fine and looked fine when they bagged it. The lack of concern was mind blowing since ive spent so much money on this place over the years. horrible service.

    We come here specifically for Cindy and the food. She is so great and caring to all the clients and treats us as family. Thank you for making a dine in or take out experience always feel like a dinner at home with your kindness. May you all be rewarded for that you’ve done with your business!

    My 3rd time at this establishment and it was as tasty as my 1st. From the first sip of ice water to my last to cool my mouth from delicious spicy noodles,yummm!

    My Sweetie loves their Sweet and Sour chicken so we went for dinner. I ordered the Drunken Noodles mild spice and I must say it is so good I stopped eating to write this review. I think everyone deserves to try it, 😆.

    They had a complimentary soup. It was delicious and great. The food that o ordered was so tasty. Service was fast. Place was nice & clean.

  • 1/5 Divina C. 2 years ago on Google
    The worst Thai food I have eaten. It is not authentic Thai cuisine, but anericanized. The Yum Nuea had no flavor and the beef was over cooked. The Pad Thai had a awful smell and taste. It was not worth the price they charged.

  • 5/5 Dolphy V. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place!! And they accommodated my seafood allergy by eliminating fish oil and oyster sauce. Thank you so much!!! I'll definitely will be ordering from here again and recommend this place.

  • 2/5 Mel S. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered the orange chicken, chicken crispy rolls, and crab Rangoon, all halal. The orange chicken was a very small portion for the price, it tasted okay though nothing great. The chicken crispy rolls were very tough and hard to chew. The crab Rangoons were the best part with the sauce.

    My favorite thai place in Dearborn. The food is always fresh and delicious! They recently changed the rice to be in a fancy covered metal bowl. They are usually very busy at lunch time so try to get here by 11:30 at the latest otherwise you'll be waiting for a table. I've never had a bad experience here, the staff are always friendly and helpful. The place is not too big so the seats are a little crowded. Beware when you substitute, they will charge extra without telling you when you're ordering, my friend was surprised by the bill. You need to park in the structure and walk a short distance to the front.

  • 2/5 Jenny L. 1 year ago on Google
    My table had to wait over 30 minutes for the food. The rice they give is tiny. Portions are very small. There are no refills on drinks. There was just one waitress there and not many people.

  • 4/5 Bekah H. 1 year ago on Google
    I ordered online and it was quick pickup. I tried the fresh rolls-the sauce was not the typical peanut sauce but it was yum. The rolls were okay--not as tasty as other places (too many carrots, not enough herbs), but were okay in a pinch.

  • 5/5 Chelsea C. 1 year ago on Google
    The chicken satay and peanut sauce was sooooo good! That's how I like the peanut sauce it isn't spicy at all. Chicken was charred and juicy, not overcooked. My boyfriend has pad Thai and that was really good too! All very flavorful and give you a decent amount for the price. Very accommodating too. I also love that they have gluten free options and also list that as well. ❤️

👍👍 This was a very cool and unique restaurant. I loved the atmosphere, and all the older Ford cars and decor that surrounded the place. They had indoor and outdoor seating. A variety of craft beer (got my flight sampler) and the food menu was amazing with a lot of options too! I'd definitely recommend...
