Bangkok Taste

The Curry Pad Thai has a following here, and the yellow curry sauce is the reason. Bangkok Taste is a family-run spot in Jenison that takes gluten-free orders seriously, with staff who know the menu cold and guard against cross-contamination. Takeout holds up well too. The food travels hot.

Thai & Beyond

★ 4.7(140)· $$

The tom yum soup gets multiple repeat mentions, and at least one reviewer called it their favorite in the area. Drunken noodles and tom yum fried rice are also regulars in the order rotation. Order at a heat level you trust: one reviewer was sweating at 5 out of 10.

Aroy Thai

★ 4.3(468)· $$

The green curry and massaman curry draw regulars back to this Walker strip on Lake Michigan Drive, and the generous portion sizes are a recurring point of praise. The curry pad thai gets called out specifically as the best in town. Spice levels run genuinely hot, and the menu warns you: order mild if you mean it.

Bangkok Taste Cuisine

★ 4.4(849)· $$

The peanut curry pad thai gets called out by multiple reviewers, and the boat noodle soup uses an in-house broth you can smell from across the table. Prices run $2-3 below typical Thai restaurant rates, and portions are generous. Gluten-free diners have found reliable options here for years, with the drunken noodle a repeat order.

Angel's Thai Cafe

★ 4(461)· $$

The Peanut Curry Noodles, with wide noodles and a rich peanut curry sauce, are the reason regulars keep coming back. Pad Prik and drunken noodles also show up across reviews, and the kitchen will customize orders on request. Call ahead to skip the wait for made-to-order food.

Mai's Thai

★ 4(180)· $$

Mai's Thai recently reopened on College Ave NE, and the crab Rangoon and peanut curry are drawing the most praise from regulars who followed them to the new spot. Takeout is the move here. Parking is shared with the College Inn next door, which keeps things manageable since Mai's doesn't run late.
