Authentic Thai food in the heart of Okemos-The New Thai Kitchen

My husband and I used to eat at a great Thai restaurant on Grand River, that sadly closed a few years back.  We haven't been able to find authentic Thai food in our area since.  Then one day, as we exited Martial arts on the corner of Okemos and Hamilton, we noticed that the old Sip and Snack was being remodeled again into the New Thai Kitchen!  The owners of the previous Thai Kitchen decided to reopen to provide us with great Thai food!

The restaurant is quaint and beautifully decorated with Thai art and greenery.

They don't have a liquor license but they do have Thai coffee!
Yummy!!! And I don't even like coffee!!!


We ordered three different appetizers;  Chicken Satay, Crab Rangoon and Fried Wontons.



The Chicken Satay was moist and light and came with two very delicious dipping sauces.  One was a slightly spicy peanut sauce and the other was a cucumber infused sweet and sour.

The Crab Rangoon were a hit with my picky eater!  They were filled with crab creaminess!!!  I, sadly, only got a bite because the kids ate them all!.


The Fried Wontons came with a spicy glaze with peanuts.  They were all so good that I was glad the portions were small or else I would have been full before the entrees came.


We ordered The Pad Prik with beef, the Fried Rice with chicken and the Sesame Chicken.

The Pad Prik came with bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, green beans and green peppers.   Unlike most dishes with a sauce, the vegetables were crisp and full of flavor not limp and tasteless.  They blended perfectly with the brown sauce and the beef.

The Fried rice was the table favorite! Tender chicken with moist rice, egg and vegetables.  It wasn't greasy, big bonus.  My son said it was the best fried rice he had ever had.

The Sesame Chicken was awesome!  It was crispy and sweet and the broccoli was cooked to perfection!!!

I can't stress enough about how happy I was that the veggies were cooked correctly and were not just an after thought.  Look at the color!!!  Perfect!!

While we were waiting for our meal, a family was being escorted to their seats and the father said, "I'm very excited, I have heard great things!"  Those great things are true and we were extremely happy with our meal at the New Thai Kitchen!  My son said that we should go there more often because everyone liked it!!  I agree.  Happy Eating!
