Thai food is my absolute favorite, and after moving to Columbia I’ve tried every Thai place in town. Thai Express is THE BEST!! Everything I’ve had there is incredible. Prices are reasonable, and serving sizes are great. 10/10 ??

Thai Express is absolutely my favorite restaurant. So many delicious things to try and they have great staff. My favorite dishes are the red curry, Magic noodles, and peanut chicken. Their crab rangoon are deliciously stuffed with cream cheese and come with the most amazing dipping sauce. Husband loves the Bangkok boom and kids love the cashew chicken. The chicken and rice soup and the infused waters are an awesome touch that we also enjoy when dining in. Dining room is simple and clean.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu available. Many dishes to choose from for kids.

This is currently my favorite restaurant in Columbia. The food is delicious, and the people are so friendly and helpful. There are lots of vegetarian options and dishes made with rice or rice noodles for folks who need to avoid gluten. The ingredients are fresh and of good quality, and the food is well-packaged (doesn’t leak, and they don’t package in styrofoam anymore, so even very hot food doesn’t melt it). I really can’t say enough good things about this place. PS The tofu soup is one of the most amazingly delicious soups I’ve ever had.Vegetarian options: You can choose tofu or vegetables for many different dishes!Dietary restrictions: Many dishes use a base of rice or rice noodles, good for people who need to avoid gluten

One of the more affordable Thai foods in Como, loved their curries and fried rice. Reasonable price but a bit limited with choices.

Food was OK, however customer service left something to be desired. Cashier was rude and difficult to communicate with.

Great Thai restaurant. Very affordable especially during their lunch specials. I got their 4/5 spice level and it was perfect for me! Would highly recommend anyone to try it out especially for the portion size and the price. Took about 10 minutes to be served and it is mostly a takeout restaurant with a small indoor/outdoor eating area as well.
GAS. Ambiance and location do NOT give this place enough credit. Tastiest Thai food in como & I crave it all the time. Service is always friendly and fairly quick too.

The employee was really rude. That was unpleasant. We liked the red curry with salmon even though the salmon looked like chicken. We go pad Thai which was okay.We probably won't be back.

Tiny location in the heart of Columbia with bustling University foot traffic. They did a lot of carry out, but we received excellent service. Order at the counter, then everything is brought to you. The food was on par with some of the most expensive Thai restaurants I've been to in California. Ok. Probably better. Planning my next trip just to eat here.

The receptionist is extremely rude and unhelpful. She ruins everything in this place. Every time I order there she’s uncommunicative, mean and unpleasant. It’s unfathomable that she could still work there. Don’t go!
