323 W. Nine Mile Rd., Ferndale; 248-548-5373
Some things never change. In the case of Ferndale’s Bangkok Cafe, that’s a good thing. For as long as memory serves, everything about the place remains the same. The only noticeable modifications to the interior are a couple of Best of Detroit awards. Even one of the waitresses has been there for more than 10 years. Ditto the main event, the food.

Well-seasoned meats and crisp, fresh vegetables mixed into an array of time-tested recipes that need no tweaking.
