Awesome taste and the spice is manageable. Also the amount they gave me was so generous. The service was also amazing since they let me sample some of their curries and their popular garlic chicken.

Tastewise it’s good but nothing to write home about. Their prices after their last raise is too high, and they also give you a very low quality plastic fork (which starts bending since the food is hot) - not very healthy. Hence the two stars

Ordered two dishes to go. Walked a mile from local hotel. When I got back and tasted it, had to throw it all away. I've never had more rotten tasting Thai food. Too tired to walk back.

Authentic Thai, and a long line at the counter to get lunch. I had the 2 dish combo, huge mound of rice and 2 entree's - garlic chicken & pineapple curry w chicken. Both were good, both were spicy. There's also made to order, seems like the line was longer for that. (Pad Thai to go?) Very clean.

Excellent as always. Been a weekly regular here since 2021. Enjoy their specials which are spicy fish, basil fried rice. Pad khee Maa, Tom kha soup, sesame chicken

Good, good, good. You can easily spend $100 and not catch it because everything is delicious. The lady working the front was good at her job. It's a small, little, don't want to say hole in the wall, but it's a lil shop, crammed between other lil shops, but We enjoyed our time spent. There was no pressure to hurry up and leave, and I love the ice-cold water available freely.

I had lunch here with my partner today and we were both blown away. The food was so amazing that we are now looking over their full menu on here for our next lunch together! We got an entree of shrimp fried rice as well as an entree of mild chicken pad see yew. Our total was almost $40.00 including a drink, but the portion was enough to feed about 3 people. The place is small and they have very limited parking in the back but over recommended!

Love the food from this place so much - amazing garlic green beans and red curry tofu, simply the best!
Came for lunch and was greeted by amicable staff. The pleasant taste of the chicken curry was very palatable and was had a balanced flavor. Paid Street parking nearby and in front. Quick service and clean establishment.

It was an exhausting Friday and I need a quick take out dinner and found this place after looking for Thai. I called it in and 10 minutes later, my dinner was ready for pick-up. It is a a mom and pop type of joint with a fast Thai menu. Although it is a small menu, they have the popular dishes like Pad See Ew and Pad Thai which is what I ordered. I asked for mild because I was hoping I can give my toddler some Pad See Ew noodles, but unfortunately, they were still a little spicy. For me, I added chili oil and sriracha and found both delicious. My only critique is that I wish they had more veggies. Both had generous amounts of thinly sliced chicken. The staff was friendly and made pick up a snap!

Whenever my partner & I are thinking about getting Thai food, That Chili Express is our go-to. We have only ever picked up orders to-go, but they are quick and consistent every time and it's easy to call to order in advance. Plus you can easily customize each order for the protein you want (including making things vegetarian/vegan) and the spice level. He always goes for the pineapple fried rice with tofu, finding that other places just don't seem to do it as well as Thai Chili Express. Being a noodle fiend, I usually go for Pad Kee Mao or Pad See Ew, but I've also had the Thai basil fried rice. Being somewhat particular about noodle dishes, I will say I've had some that I prefer elsewhere, but it's still solid here, and again reliable and consistent. I enjoyed the fried rice as well. Portion sizes are good if you have a big appetite or want some leftovers. We'll definitely continue coming here!

The prepared food in sight where you point and pick is a good deal. Mostly curries, just wish they had one choice of green curry with more variety of veggies in it including broccoli or cauliflower.Vegetarian options: Some options, but not sure if they use chicken broth, I should've asked.
