I became a fan of Thai food about a year ago, and it's mostly because of this place. They give you large portions and every bit of it is delicious (plus the prices are great). I have a particular server that I like whenever I decide to dine-in; she always remember the dishes I prefer and gives great service. As far as the food goes, the drunken noodle and the green curry are my top picks. And the spring rolls are delicious!!

Was Nappakao Thai. They are currently trying to find a new location. This is by far the best Thai restaurant I've ever been to. Amazing selections too. The best curry dishes and absolutely without a doubt the best quality appetizers. The summer rolls are amazing and so much more fresh (and much bigger) than anywhere else! The curry dishes aren't too thick and are more soupy (the way I like it). They have good serving sizes and quality ingredients. The spice shouldn't be a problem for anyone, unless you don't like spicy, and if that's the case you probably shouldn't even be eating curry anywhere. Everything I've tried is the best I've tried anywhere, and I've been everywhere. If you like sugary drinks, don't forget to try the Thai tea! Second best (maybe tied for first) Thai food around Middle Tennessee is probably at Sakura in Franklin, TN.

They offer a discount for MTSU students. I had the "veggie delight" with wantons and it was uber delicious. We also had hot green tea and a side order of pork wantons (no, I'm not a vegetarian). Besides the yummy food I think it's important to mention the amazing service. The young lady who helped us was fantastic and obviously has pride in what they have to offer. Kudos to her! I will be back!

My husband and I live near Asian Express (used to be called something else, can't remember what, though), and we go there frequently. Things I love there: Tom Kuh Gai soup (savory awesomeness), spring rolls (super crisp, yummy sauce, best I've ever had), tofu or chicken pad tai (very good), mussamun curry (also very good), and most recently, I tried their vegetable fried rice. It is to die for! I am chowing down on some leftovers as I type this review. The service/staff is always awesome. It's rarely crowded. You can order everything to taste, in terms of spice. The only thing that's not perfect about this place is its ambiance. It's in a strip mall setting. Such is life in the Murf. ;)

I have eaten at this place twice now and I love lover Thia Food. There menu is very good and simple. I ate the PHo and it was authentic and very good. I also ordered the spring Rolls which come 3 to an order and they were not those cheasy cheap egg rolls that so many places give you but were fresh and very crisp. Portions were very good and the people were very friendly. I will be definetly going back as they are close to my home...

I moved to Murfreesboro from Southern Cali about a month ago and was looking for good Asian food specifically Thai/Lao food. This place is not bad. I believe it just opened last month. If you are in a hurry they have a fast food/Panda express type thing where you can just pick from whats already made but I suggest ordering fresh from the menu. They also have Pho noodle soup which is pretty good, maybe the best in town other than homemade! The Drunken Noodles is very popular and pretty good. The prices are decent, the location is conveniently near the MTSU campus, and the service is excellent so I recommend Asian Express for your Thai food fix, especially if you don't want to drive to Nashville!
