Sunrise Thai Restaurant 28921 John R Road, Madison Heights, MI 48071

"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."

"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."

"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 :)"

"Good flavors however I think they mixed up the hot spice between my boyfriend and I's plate. I ended up with a much hotter meal than him. Besides that the food was delicious, the seafood fried rice was packed with meat, every bite had a chunk in it. The portions were large resulting in me taking more than half of my meal home."

"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."
