“This place is so cute inside and serves really great food to the heat of your choice. The portions were great, appetizers were amazing, and the service was great. 10/10 would eat here again. I had the golden cashew meal and we had spring rolls and fried calamari as well.“

“Always consistent Yummy Food!“

“Tried this place for the first time. Got the pad thai level 2 with shrimp. Was delicious! I was excited to take some home as leftovers. I definitely want to keep visiting. Came for a date. Expect to pay atleast $60 for 2 people, including drinks and app.“

“The best Thai food I've ever had the honor to eat. It's the reason we had them cater our wedding. They were accommodating to our food restrictions (and were creative enough to make it fabulous for all who attended), thought up, created and had us sample off-the-menu delicacies they created just for our event that I still dream about. OMG it was soooo good!!! Hospitable. CLEAN!!!! Thank you Chef Ron and beautiful and BRILLIANT Jaruwon (Jenny)!!!! Destined for success through creative, edgy, honest, fresh and amazing food? You are there!“

“The food here is SO good. It’s always a treat to get Pattaya Thai express. We love the Thai fried rice and also the pad Thai. The food always tastes really fresh. The curry soup is perfect if you have a cold. Great friendly staff & convenient location too.“

“Probably the best Pad Thai I’ve had - and I’ve had a LOT! Flavor was perfect, noodles and egg and chicken were all perfectly flavored and cooked! Ginger stir fry was also good! The Tom Kha wasn’t my favorite, but everything else was excellent! 🥰“

“Incredible authentic flavors, large portions and very much enjoyed our lunch here. Customer service is welcoming, helpful & attentive.
Tom Yum Noodle Soup & Potstickers were delicious. Restaurant & restroom both very clean.
1st visit, will be back again soon.“

“We absolutely LOVE the food here :) Have never had a bad experience in 20+ years of eating here. Highly recommended!“

“I love this place, both locations. It's so good it reminds me of the restaurant scene from pulp fiction. But if anyone recreates or hurts this establishment I would live out my vendettas to put an end to it. They do so well at maintaining a proper atmosphere on one of the busiest roads in town. Their kitchens are amazing and really adhear to food safety and incredible cusine. The ambiance caters to our state employees who need to remove themselves from the stress of their work.

I've never been so privileged to eat at this location to experience the luxury of their work. The best swimming rama I've ever had. I'd eat everything on the menu, but my mom always gets the green curry which will forever be sentimental to me. I won't even review the other lemon grass because it's too good.

Just not a lot of parking at this one, so make sure you get your seat.

Also, they have incredible wine.“

“I love Thai food, so I’m always game to try a “new to me” spot. Pad Thai Express was right next door to where I was having a blood draw. So, after 16 hours of fasting, I arrived with a hearty appetite.
The place has tables for inside dining. You either order at a self serve kiosk (debit or credit orders) or at the counter (cash orders). The restaurant itself is ok. Nothing to “wow” you, but it seemed clean, albeit a bit cluttered in the front with some boxes off to the side.
The order process was easy. I went with a fresh shrimp salad roll with peanut sauce and their garlic lover’s plate with chicken and white rice. The salad roll was fresh and crispy. Paired with their peanut sauce, which was delish, i give them a solid 5 stars. I would definitely order those again.
The garlic chicken was very flavorful, and with a heat level of 3, good enough to make my upper lip get a little sweaty. Just the way I like it. The veggies were plentiful, but a bit on the mushy side for me. I think a few minutes less on the heat would have been perfect. I give that dish a 3, just for the mushy veggies. The flavor was good, but overcooked carrots, broccoli and cabbage made me sad. The portion size was good. I had leftovers for later on! Not sure I’d order the garlic chicken again, though.
The young man who brought my order was pleasant, polite and quiet. The cook offered me a kind smile, and seemed nice.
Overall a solid 4. I will try them again and order something different to see if i can change my review to a 5 all around. Till then, a solid 4 for the restaurant.“

“Tried the fried rice and avocado green curry—wow, both were amazing! The curry was super creamy, flavorful, and had just the right kick, and the fried rice was light, perfectly seasoned, and not greasy at all. Everything tasted fresh and came out nice and hot. Portions were generous, and the staff was really friendly. Definitely a spot I’d come back to again!“

“This cute restaurant is slightly hidden when you first arrive as my boyfriend and I missed it when we first arrived by GPS. Luckily there was street parking in front of the restaurant and we were able to park just fine and enter the restaurant. We were greeted by our waitress who appears to be the owner and she was very polite and professional with us. She got us waters and menus and gave us the right amount of time to decide what we wanted. My boyfriend ordered the Singapore fried rice with chicken and I got the spicy garlic chicken with peanut sauce with a Thai iced tea.

The inside of the restaurant is cozy and cute. The ceiling has a beautiful pattern of blue skies with little clouds and there is good lighting throughout the restaurant that gives a pretty casual vibe throughout the restaurant. The food came out after some time and it was absolutely phenomenal. My boyfriend loved his fried rice and he also took some of the peanut sauce as he said it was very flavorful. I really enjoyed the spicy garlic chicken and wished it was a bit spicier as I ordered hot but that's fine. The peanut sauce was delightful to put on my meal as well. We thought the Thai iced tea was very refreshing and perfect. I look forward to trying more of the dishes here as we were happy with the food, service, and prices!“

“We got the Pad Thai and the Chow Mein with a hot level spiciness and they were both amazing! The fried tofu is also a delicious appetizer. We got our food delivered this time and it was just as good as when we go to the restaurant. The staff are always professional and helpful and will get you what you need in a really good amount of time! Bonus tip: 10/10 would recommend the black rice mango“

“By far the best pad thai on the westside. In terms of flavor, speed and presentation, it doesn't get much better. Have showed this place to out of town friends and they love it. Been going here every once in a while for years and the quality hasn't changed. Ran by some wonderful people.“

“I’ve ordered the Thai fried rice and mango sticky rice from Nana Pattaya Express several times now—and I’ll keep coming back. They’re absolutely one of my favorites.

That said, I must say some of the reviews listed here are ignorant, and frankly, biased.

While I agree that the fried rice was a bit too spicy for a level 2 heat the first time I ordered it, I’ve since requested it with level 0 spiciness and less salt—and it came out perfect.

As for the mango sticky rice, I couldn’t help but cackled at the comment claiming that the green hue on the sticky rice is a food safety concern. The ignorance and arrogance really showed through.

If you’re unfamiliar with Southeast Asian food culture, do yourself a favor and Google the word “pandan.” You’ll understand exactly what it is.

Good food comes with a willingness to explore and respect cultural differences. Nana Pattaya Express is a gem for those who appreciate authentic flavors and are open to learning along the way.

P.S. The cashier and chef has been nothing but kind, polite and cordial to me. And I don’t even speak Thai. Maybe try to be a decent human being and be nicer to them? They ain’t your servants you know.“

“This is our absolute favorite place to go. We love the owners and the food is to die for! Every plate is amazing. 🥰 This is a weekly spot for us.“

“FAV! ever since i moved away i miss danang sooo much! i wish there was one in chicagoland ❤️“
