Takoi

Took my brother for his bday from a recommendation from a friend. Place is dimly lit inside with a club vibe to it. The kitchen literally looked like a Hells Kitchen TV and was extremely organized and clean. Our waiter was great with introducing us to the menu with recommendations. We didn't end up ordering any appetizers but we did order 4 Entrées. We order the Phat Krapao which had a kick to the throat so we got milk tea and sticky rice to help cool it down. We'll flavored and added the roti with it. We also ordered the Lamb Sausage which was very herby and a tad dry but very fresh. We also had the Gai Golae. Chicken was cooked perfectly but I just wanted the skin to be flamed a tad more for the crispy texture. Very light and refreshing. The star here is definitely the Crispy Fried Ribs. This place literally nailed that and gave you a mouth full of flavor with that bite. 10/10. Best ribs I've had and using the lemon basil and apple salad on top is pure genius. That flavor combo made us want to order the dish 3x more. We are definitely coming back. For dessert my brother got a coconut mango ice cream which shockingly was exceptional. We will be coming back. Job well done and our waiter was great too!

Drove up from Columbus to try out this restaurant. My mother is not an adventurous eater and she would not stop raving about our meal. Definitely try the Thai milk tea and crispy fish!! Can’t wait to visit again, this was a fantastic meal and experience

Wonderful atmosphere, great service; food flavorful with an array of delicious flavors. We chose the tomato salad which was super fresh, and the coconut curry noodles and chicken and the bread a must have! I DO NOT OWN THE RIGHTS TO MUSIC IN MY VIDEO!

Me and my gf had the tasting menu and hands down taste wise one of the best experiences from a restaurant I’ve ever had. Every taste besides the fish and short rib was a taste I’ve never experienced or had before. The spices in the food were amazing. I will say for the first 3 courses the spices were a little on the hotter side but that was a good thing. The greens on all the courses were so good and fresh. Like I don’t like cabbage at all but the cabbage they served actually was solid and I hate cabbage. The appetizer and desert were so good. Will definitely come again in future. The price is a bit much but I would say worth it.(FYI they do automatically add the 20% tip)

This is such a cool spot, feels like a secret being in there. The vibes were awesome and the meal was very unique. We did the chefs tasting menu. I’ll say that some of the dishes were not well balanced, overly sour or overly spicy. But overall everything was very good. I think next time I would just order off the menu. The ice cream was the best !!

I visited TAKOI Detroit tonight and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. 🍹 90’s Baby (cocktail): Fruity, strawberry-forward with a minty finish. Refreshing and perfectly balanced — a fun way to start the meal. 🍜 Khao Soi: The dish everyone recommends, and it deserves the hype. Rich coconut curry broth layered with flavor, topped with crispy noodles for texture, with lime and herbs to brighten everything up. Comforting and bold in every bite. 🥩 Crispy Spare Ribs with Watermelon Salad: Easily one of the standouts. The ribs are crispy outside, tender inside, with a sticky glaze that’s full of flavor. Paired with chilled watermelon cubes and herbs, it’s the perfect contrast of smoky + fresh. 🌆 Atmosphere: TAKOI is more than just dinner — the neon lighting, music, and energy of the room make it a complete experience. It feels modern, creative, and uniquely Detroit. 💡 Tips: Street parking is available around Michigan Ave & 17th St (use the ParkDetroit app). Reservations are recommended, especially for later seatings. Menu rotates with seasonal ingredients, but the Khao Soi and Spare Ribs are must-orders. Overall, TAKOI deserves its reputation as one of Detroit’s best spots. Great food, fun cocktails, and an atmosphere that makes the whole night memorable.

Outstanding food, and good service overall...loved the bold flavors Outside was dirty, and ill maintained. Tall metal fence and the debris outside made me question if this was a good place to visit, but we went in due to prior recommendations from friends...
