Thai Asian

Review Summary

Thai Express reviews show a mix of praise and critique. Some dishes seem inconsistent with too much rice and not enough meat or sauce, and holy basil can include onion chunks with minimal basil and minced protein; flavour sometimes comes up as lacking and utensils or branded containers may be missing. On the plus side, the interior is surprisingly spacious with two levels, and a drive through is available though it can be risky during construction. Service is described as clean and fast, with friendly cashiers, new administration and improved overall service; several reviewers praise the pad Thai with fried egg as delicious and a personal favorite. Multilingual praise appears for the cooks and the quick, courteous service, and even when the auto order panel is down, orders can be placed at the window; the drive through remains a positive option. Overall, Thai Express is seen as offering good tasting food and a welcoming vibe, with plans to return mentioned by many.View restaurant profile

Sundaes are highlighted as a good option on hot days, and the staff is often described as kind, though some visitors report staffing shortages, frequent order errors, and a sense of being a nuisance. The pistachio gelato is polarizing, with some finding it excellent and others calling it bland and the portions too small for the price.
