Thai Express Restaurant

Positive points:
1. Good Green Curry with shrimp & a so-so papaya salad.
Negative points:
1. Servers looked bored & half asleep and generally disinterested in serving us.
2. This proved to be true when we found out our main dish was taking too long to arrive.
3. Finally when we finished our other dishes, we had to flag our server down & found out that the main dish was never ordered. Why? We saw him write the items down on a piece of paper!
Well, he said he scribbled it down in such a way that he couldn't read his own hand writing!
4. We wanted to talk to the manager. Turned out there was no manager in the premises, or anywhere.
5. A senior (!) server was brought in to talk to us -- but he neither provided an explanation nor extended any apologies...but shrugged a lot.
5. Of course the server never once said sorry. As if forgetting to order a main dish is an everyday occurrence!
6. The Delicious Eggplant was anything but. We had to look for eggplants inv a dish filled with limp broccoli and tasteless rubbery chicken pieces.
7. So if you have absolutely NO other choice and you are craving for Thai food, I say maybe you should take out your frozen Thai dinner from COSTCO 🤔

Pass. There’s a place out there that you get better quality food for your money. This is not it.

I got lost looking for a different place and saw their lunch special sign. They have a wonderful selection for their lunch specials. I had beef& basil fried rice with a Thai ice tea. And for dessert, I had to get the mango sticky rice. But, I also noticed something called a fried banana. Couldn't leave it to a coin flip, so I got both. Lol, the mango sticky rice is standard fare but still enjoyable. The fried banana was something different. It was a banana in an egg roll, deep-fried to golden perfection, covered in a syrup like honey, with sesame seeds. There were only 3 of them on a plate. Each one was wonderful, and I can recommend this to anyone.

Absolutely delicious! We ordered the Pad Woon Sen and Green Curry — both were exceptional.
The Pad Woon Sen was light, flavorful, and perfectly stir-fried. The glass noodles had just the right texture, and the vegetables were fresh and crisp. It’s the kind of dish you keep thinking about after the meal!

The Green Curry was rich, aromatic, and incredibly well-balanced. Creamy coconut milk, tender meat, and fresh Thai herbs made every bite comforting and full of flavor.

Best of all? No MSG — just real, authentic Thai cooking made with care. Highly recommend this place for anyone who loves true Thai taste!

Authentic Thai flavors with a warm smile!

I had the best Thai meal here at Thai Express! Every dish was full of authentic flavor — no MSG, just real Thai cooking that brings you straight to Bangkok.

We tried the fried rice, pad thai with tofu, and glass noodle spicy salad with shrimp (Yum Woon Sen) — all were absolutely delicious. The ingredients were fresh, perfectly cooked, and the seasoning was just right.

What makes it even better is the friendly and genuine owner who welcomes you with a big smile. If you’re looking for a true taste of Thailand, this is the place!

Highly recommended!

My most favorite place

I was craving for something spicy for the chilly weather, so I had Pad Cha seafood from Thai Express! Love it! I requested medium spicy, and they also included peppercorn and fingerroot, making the dish very authentic and on point! I highly recommend this menu if you want to experience a very unique Thai food.

The staff was nice and the kaprow hit the spot (tender chicken, crisp veggies, thin sauce that wasn't too heavy/thick) 😊🦃 It's a solid local go to spot for Thai food.

Tried this spot twice. First time? Meh, it wasn’t great, I said never again. Second time, though... Let's just say I had an out-of-body experience. You know it's bad when you wake up in a deep sleep just to... well, let's say my bathroom and I are closer now. ? Should’ve trusted my instincts when I opened the bag and thought, ‘Why am I doing this to myself?’ Lesson learned: never ignore your gut... especially when it’s literally telling you not to! They gotta switch everything up.

A fine establishment, food has always been consistent. I love their drunken noodles, pineapple fried rice, and chicken satay skewers. Good place that I've liked for the past 7-8 years I've been going
