Best fried rice ive ever had. We moved a little far away from this place and every thai resturaunt I go to I hope and pray its somewhat comparable. Nothing ever is. Hands down best fried rice ive ever had.

First off, I'm of Thai ethnicity. The food is good. The staff is friendly. Bangkok Express is a perfect example of Thai food modified for a wider reach audience. I'm sure you can find a few places like this within the fabric of actual Thai neighborhoods, however rare. Its the execution that's different.

I got a lunch special and I was pleased with the serving size and the side soup...great value!

I've steered clear of this place for years because it never lured me in. It looks like a very typical, semi run down plaza restaurant. They have no dining-in despite having many tables. It's decent inside but feel abandoned (ceiling tiles show water staining/rust); perhaps its a staffing issues. Not sure. I've reviewed other similar type of Thai restaurants, which I thought I would have disappointed, but was blown away with quality. For this place and the one dish that I sampled I felt it was about on par with a typical shopping mall's food court. You know, perfectly fine, but you're not writing home about it or intently recommending it. I happen to pass by this place because it was close and hungry.

Looking for something quick and a good value check them out. I was surprised their menu had a rather deep selection more in line with a higher end place, for example duck. Perhaps I'll try it again in the future. For the interim I say 3 stars because its in the middle of the road.

First time stopping here. I usually get Drunken Noodles but asked for something similar. She recommended a different but similar dish that was excellent! Good portions, fresh and great customer service.

By far the best Thai food I've ever had! The portions are generous and the food always fresh. I introduced my brother to Bangkok Express and now he wants to get it every week!

I recently made my first visit back to Bangkok Express in quite some time, and it was a nostalgic trip down memory lane! This place used to be one of my go-to spots to take my Aunt Bertha in between her doctor visits and physical therapy sessions, and it holds a special place in my heart as we approach a year since her transition. We always ordered the sweet-and-sour shrimp (no heat), adding extra onions and shrimp for that burst of flavor!

Walking into the restaurant, I noticed they’re still operating with the COVID-style wrap and cover, so there's no dining in anymore, which was a bit disappointing. However, the warm welcome from the family that runs the place made up for it. They were incredibly friendly, and it felt great to see familiar faces.

The food was just as delicious as I remembered! While chatting with a couple who were visiting for the first time, I was happy to share my recommendations. I’m glad I could provide them with an accurate review based on my past experiences.

Overall, I had a wonderful time at Bangkok Express, and I look forward to returning again soon. It’s a great spot for anyone looking for tasty Thai food and a friendly atmosphere!

Pad Thai with chicken was great. Drunken Fried Rice was ok. Koong Hom Pa Shrimp rolls were ok, shrimp was over cooked, and the Plum sauce was very bland. The Gai Tom Ka was just ok. Can you believe that a Thai restaurant does not have Chili Garlic Sauce? Wow.
