I’ve been a regular customer at Thai Express for many years, and the food has always been outstanding. Everything is always fresh, clean, and full of flavor.

The service is top-notch and even though it’s a small restaurant, it feels incredibly homey and welcoming every time I visit.

I definitely recommend Thai Express to anyone looking for authentic, delicious Thai food and great service. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I ordered takeout today and got the Drunken Noodles, Curry Puffs, and the amazing Wing Zaab. The fried chicken wings are a new menu item, and I was seriously impressed even as takeout, they were still super crispy and incredibly delicious! Normally, I dine in at the restaurant, but today I didn’t have much time, so I ordered to-go. Honestly, the quality was just as good. This place is truly a hidden gem for Thai food in Kentlands. Highly recommend!
