I’ve ordered from Thai Express many times, but I’ve never left them a review until now. This restaurant is truly excellent, the food is clean, flavorful, and free from MSG. I’ve tried other Thai restaurants before, and the MSG made me feel sick and gave me a burning throat. Thai Express is the only place that tastes just like home cooked Thai food. Highly recommended!

I had drunken noodles which is what I get when trying a new spot. The meat tasted reheated and the sparse veggies were sloppily chopped. I was really hungry but it was so unappealing that I threw it out. I'm now making a meal at home

What truly sets Thai Express apart isn’t just the food , it’s the people behind it. The owner is incredibly kind, warm, and genuinely attentive. You can feel that they care not just about the business, but about every single customer who walks through the door. It’s rare to meet someone so humble and down-to-earth in this industry. You don’t just get a meal here, you get a sense of connection.
As for the food, it’s always clean, fresh, and prepared with visible care. The kitchen maintains high hygiene standards, and that really gives me peace of mind, especially when dining out often. I’ve brought friends and family here, and every time I do, I know I’m recommending a place that’s trustworthy, consistent, and run by people who truly love what they do. Thai Express has earned not just my appetite, but my respect.

A Taste of Chiang Mai in Maryland and Thai Express Nails It with Their Khao Soi Gai.
I’ve been searching for authentic Khao Soi Gai (Chiang Mai-style curry noodles with chicken) ever since I moved to Maryland and Thai Express completely blew me away. The broth was rich, aromatic, and perfectly creamy, with just the right touch of coconut milk and spices. It wasn’t overpowering, but layered and deep in flavor exactly how it should be.
The chicken was tender and infused with the curry. The crispy noodles on top added the perfect crunch, and the side garnishes red onions, elevated every bite. I could honestly close my eyes and feel like I was sitting at a market in Chiang Mai.
This dish is not just food, it’s an experience. If you’re looking for a comforting, soulful meal that brings the north of Thailand to your table, this is it.

I’ve been to many Thai restaurants in the DMV area, but I must say , Thai Express Restaurant in Gaithersburg always hits the spot when it comes to authentic Thai flavors. Today, I ordered the Broccoli Lover with Beef and Pad Woon Sen, and once again, I was impressed by the flavors that brought me straight back to Thailand.
The Broccoli Lover with Beef was not only beautifully cooked tender beef slices paired with crunchy, fresh broccoli but the sauce was absolutely on point. It had that signature Thai balance: savory, slightly sweet, and full of umami. You can tell they use quality ingredients and cook with real care.
As for the Pad Woon Sen, it was the best I’ve had in a long time. The glass noodles were perfectly chewy and well-seasoned, not oily at all, and the vegetables were fresh and crisp. Every bite felt like a warm hug from home.
What I love most about Thai Express is that the food here isn’t toned down. It’s bold. It’s flavorful. It’s real Thai. You can taste the difference.
The staff is always kind and welcoming, and the atmosphere is cozy and clean. It’s the kind of place you keep coming back to and not just for the food, but for the feeling of being “home away from home.
If you’re craving real Thai food, not the watered down version, I highly recommend checking out this place. It’s a true gem in Gaithersburg that deserves more recognition.

This place has been around for a while, and honestly, a small restaurant like this wouldn’t last this long if it wasn’t truly good. Great food always speaks for itself. I really encourage everyone to give it a try, open your heart and support local gems like this one. You might just find your new favorite Thai spot.
Highly recommended for anyone who loves real Thai food made with passion and care. :)
