Thai Express

Wow I have to say I am impressed. Waking in to a fast food restaurant, I wasn’t expecting much. But I have to say their service was very good. The cashier was super helpful and when the meal was cooked one of them even offered me to have a seat and that they would bring the food to me. I ordered a chicken pad Thai spicy. The fast was just write and it was not too saucy or slimy. There was plenty of taste and there was not too spice making me sweat. I would definitely come back again if I was in the area.

Fast food is fast food, don’t expect gourmet. As long as the food is fast, tastes okay and there’s no bugs in it, AND service don’t piss me off, I think it’s pretty good.
I only go to Thai express for their beef pad sew. Just for a quick bite, the service is pretty fast. They make it right there for you, you can watch and it comes piping hot. I like to eat it here because I don’t like the take out containers cause it’s hard to eat from them and the noodles get soggy and the container soaks up all the sauce. I really like the pad sew noodles here, it has a chewy texture that I can’t get enough of. It’s also loaded with soya sauce… Hmmm sodium chloride! The beef is okay and I like how they throw in some veggies in the dish!
I always come here for a quick sodium-​carbattack!

It was a disappointing experience when I patronized the Thai Express at Bayview Village. I ordered a Noodle Soup and a Stir Fry. The noodle soup was so-​so but the Stir Fry was a disappointment. This happened on Oct 25^th afternoon — please refer to the attached picture of receipt. First, the chef thought it was just stir fry with no rice, and later on someone came over and put the rice back and gave the dish back to me with no apology. The Cashier was not interested in saying hello or trying to promote what’s good in the restaurant. She didn’t want to look at us in the eye — it’s a bit rude honestly. Well, the owner smiled but that’s the person who cared.
Back to the Stir fry, take a look at what we got vs. what’s up there on the menu board. The menu board stir fry looks a lot better — nice pieces of beef with broccoli and fresh veggie. Look at what I got! Lots of bean sprouts, which were not cooked very well. I was told it’s the way they make it — it’s Thai. Yes, it’s true, but the bean sprouts reeks because it’s not cooked well. Why? It’s not fresh!!!
Anyway, I was about to complain but when I checked out the Pad Thai another customer got across from my stable. It’s merely two pieces of shrimp mixed with noodles. It didn’t look too good either. I was like, well, I might as well save my breath.
I mean, I have been a Thai Express fan since the day it was born. I like your Mini Soups and your Noodle Soups. Once in a while I visit your restaurants, but this time, it’s the huge disappointment. Your menus aren’t cheap. It’s comparable to a fine dining Thai restaurant and I expect something better.
If you wish to keep us as frequent customers, you have to do a better job.

Haven’t been here in about six years. I remember it being much better.
Peanut sauce is yummy. Everything else is kinda meh. We had the pad thai, the pad sew, and the yellow curry chicken on rice. I know those Chinese takeout boxes are cute, but they’re so impractical to eat from. The put the rice on the bottom, and the curry on the top. It’s nearly impossible to get both curry and rice on your spoon if you’re starting from the top… unless you’re interested in making a mess. Protein portions are also way small. Very few slices of beef or chicken in any of my three dishes.

Awful service and bad food. Took them ages at the counter. When we got the food it had no taste and portions were small. I have been to many other branches this is by far the worst

This is absolutely the worst deal of all in recent memory.
It’s clear, this place is trying to sell itself as a healthy, urbane lifestyle alternative for the yuppie on the go.
IT’S F*#^%NG THAI FOOD!
First of all, I am almost certain the Thai people do not live on the stuff offered on the menu here. Let’s consider this, one of the most hard working people on the planet, a Nation that invented one of the most hardcore, bone-​crushing, scary-​ass martial arts, and you are telling me they live on noodles, green onions, and underdeveloped shrimp?!
Sixteen dollars, that’s the cost of my food. A main dish, plus a side and a drink.
The soup always taste funny. what is that sour taste that goes into every bowl of noodle soup? I don’t think mint tastes like that. maybe it’s the lime… I got a whole thing on lime. but that’s another story for when somebody stupid enough decides to open a business using that superfluous fruit.
This place is the décor replicate of the sandwich box.
There is semblance of service, it’s a kitchen line. I had more hospitality at the Socialist canteen. Actually… that’s a cheap shot… Socialist kitchens in Communist industrial Countries are pretty friendly. You know what I mean!
I heard about Thai Express first from my friend Lucia.
«Omg, Thai express it’s sooo good.» She always wants to go to Thai Express, and having no idea what it is, I never relented having fear of restaurants that name themselves anything ‘express’.
Finally, I had no choice. I didn’t to feel like a fatty, so I avoided the Pusateri’s cooked food section. Where is the meat? The food wasn’t good!
THAI PEOPLE EAT MEAT!!!
This is Manchu Wok for Thai people!
SIXTEEN DOLLARS FOR FOOD COURT FOOD!
That’s not Thai Express, that’s American Express!

Thai Express is a chain that you can find in most food courts. On weekdays, this location is packed !
For under $ 10, you get a generous portion of food. Whenever I have lunch here, I have the Pad Sew with chicken — the only thing is that it would be nice to have more vegetables in it. When this place first opened a few years back, the Pad Sew had a lot of vegetables in it.
There is a seating area for about 40 people. The turnover rate is pretty quick though so if you have to wait, I reckon it wouldn’t be for too long. The gentleman who cleans your table is super friendly and will clean tables/​put away dirty dishes right away.
Good for: quick bite
