Ban Thai

My boyfriend and I popped in for a quick dinner to go. We were taken aback on their hospitality & their willingness to accommodate me being Gluten Free. Overall, this is my new favorite thai place in the Michigan/Indiana area. 11/10 food. This Husband and Wife ran restaurant truly had the best service, but even better than that, they were the most kind hearted individuals I have ever met.

This place was phenomenal. The owners are the kindest folks I've ever met and my wife and I plan to order from them regularly. Some of the best Thai food we have found in the Midwest. Totally worth the drive! Take out only! No online delivery so make sure you go in, 1000% worth it! The food was phenomenal. We tried their red curry, Massuman curry and their Pad See Ew. So good!

We do an annual trip from Indianapolis and try to hit up local spots every time. This was our first time here- and added to our list of must-visits each time! The owner was incredibly sweet and approachable. The food was amazing and obviously made with care (lots of emphasis on fresh, authentic ingredients.) St. Joe is very charming, and this is one gem that adds to that charm. I hope he and his family is here for many years to come!

Amazing! Girlfriend and I found this spot during our short vacation into town - very quality, savory, delicious food. This is not your greasy take out back home, this is an indulgence of Thai cuisine - the gentleman who handled "front of house" is a delight, sweet man that made us feel very welcomed - have to go back to the food, we got the Pad Kee Mao with Beef and the Curry Fried Rice with Shrimp. Highly recommend, we will be coming back next time in town

The food here was absolutely delicious! The owner gets his noodles fresh from Chicago, and you can taste the difference. The Pad See Ewe was really good, as well as the sticky rice dessert. I really enjoyed the Thai iced tea, but I like mine strong, which it was. My husband had to water his down, because he didn't like it that strong. The food can be a little bit greasy, as with many stir fry dishes in Asian restaurants, nevertheless the taste is amazing! The owner was very attentive to us, was funny, and a really likeable person! Definitely want to come back here!

Absolutely incredible! Ban Thai has quickly become our favorite spot in St. Joe. From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was next-level — Jimmy, the owner, personally came out to introduce himself and made us feel so welcome. You can tell he cares deeply about both the food and the people. The dishes were phenomenal — truly the most authentic Thai food I’ve had since moving back to Michigan. Every bite was packed with fresh flavor, perfect spice, and thoughtful presentation. You can taste the heart behind the cooking. We’re so happy to have a place like this in town. Ban Thai is a gem — we’ll definitely be back again and again!

Food: 5/5 (Outstanding!) Service: 5/5 (Awesome!) Atmosphere: 5/5 (Lovely environment) What a wonderful visit to Ban Thai in St. Joseph, Michigan! The food was truly a delight. Although they don’t offer dine-in service at the moment, the takeout was excellent and held up beautifully during the journey home. I’m so glad I had the chance to enjoy their offerings! The meal was remarkable! The curry rice and spring rolls were bursting with flavor. As someone who loves curry, I was thrilled with how well this dish came together. A squeeze of lime really took it to the next level! The service was also commendable. The owner was extremely friendly and took the time to guide us through the menu, making for a pleasant and engaging conversation. The atmosphere, although takeout only, felt warm and inviting. Just a heads-up, make sure to catch them during their limited hours of operation. It’s a charming restaurant worth visiting. Overall, I had a fantastic experience at Ban Thai! The food was crafted with care and tasted exceptional. They truly excel in Thai cuisine! If you’re in the area, it's a must-try.

The owner Jimmy is the sweetest man ever. My friend and I went in yesterday and got Pad Thai, Pot Sticker Chicken Dumplings, and Thai Pudding. We also had 2 drinks that were very yummy. The food was soooo delicious and fresh. He had it ready for us right when we got there. When we were eating, he came out to our car and gave us free drinks. Truly such a kind man, we will be coming back soon:)
