Kaye Watcharawipa, owner of  Thai 101 in Royal Oak told us about her authentic Thai restaurant, which includes favorite menu items like curry, pad Thai, Thai fried rice and more. Customers can ask for dishes with less spice and can also get vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free meals. The small eatery, located on Woodward Avenue south of 14 Mile, offers counter service only and does a good deal of online and take out orders, but it does have a welcoming bar area for casual dining inside the restaurant.
