Thai flavor, Detroit soul.

Bangkok 96 Street Food is led by Chef Genevieve Vang, whose bold, scratch-made Thai cooking has become a Detroit favorite. Her food earned a 2019 James Beard Award semifinalist nod for Best Chef: Great Lakes and Eater Detroit's Chef of the Year in 2018.

The kitchen leans into fresh herbs, house-made sauces and real spice — with a menu that's largely gluten-free friendly, from grilled lemongrass chicken to candied beef and creamy Tom Yum.

Chef Genevieve's Thai products — including her tempura batter mix and hot chili spice — now reach kitchens across Michigan through 40+ Meijer stores.

02

Gluten-Free Friendly

A big chunk of the menu is gluten-free, clearly tagged, so more people can dig in.

03

Real Heat

Thai spice done right — from a gentle warmth to Chef Genevieve's signature chili blend.
