Reviews of Bangkok Express show a mix of strong value and flavor with generous portions and reasonable prices, and many praise the choo chee fish, various curries, and dumplings for authentic Thai flavors, along with a bright, relaxing atmosphere. Service is described as friendly and attentive by many, but several visits mention slower or inconsistent service and dishes arriving lukewarm or with the wrong protein, and some meals are noted as too salty, oily, or lacking rice with curries. The terrace and takeout options are appreciated by diners, and a loyal crowd keeps returning, though a few reviewers say consistency has slipped compared with earlier visits. Overall Bangkok Express is seen as a solid Thai option in Montreal with standout items and good value, yet experiences can vary by visit.
So I have to report this has never happened before:
Ordered Pad thai chicken, Feb 26, first off the portion is smaller, but the main complaint was the chicken, most of it was like powdered, miniscule pieces smaller than rice, like dust. First time ever, this has happened used to be lots of chicken white meat. I felt ripped off big time. Too bad close to my home, but I guess last time!
Ordered takeout so didn't get to experience the inside but it's a nice place. I got the beef pad sew & the sweet/spicy chicken wings, both of the best I've ever had! Insanely good

Service was too rapid. Tge mango & papaya salad was decent. The other dishes quite ordinary. The green curry chicken had an unpleasant flavor. The servers were very pleasant.
Always fresh, hot & ready to eat. The chicken was crispy enough without being overdone. Served with rice & stir fried with yummy veggies. I have also had the bass fish on previous occasions, which is so good....!!! Out server was great & had all explanations needed for my friend dining there for the first time. Always a casual & very friendly atmosphere. I'll be going back for sure !! We had the lunch menu at a good price.
Bangkok Express one me over with their excellent & authenticallyThai green curry. The service is genuinely friendly & attentive, & the atmosphere is warm & comfortable. Unfortunately, the peanut chicken wasn't the best I've ever had & the garlic pepper chicken was much too sweet. Nevertheless, I will be returning to sample the rest of Bangkok Express's menu.

Asked for chicken panang curry, got beef. Its was very chewy. Barely any beef too. 50% of the stew is huge onion slides, 30% is peppers, & 20% beef. & container was barely filled. The stew tastes ok though. But for 18$? Was still starving.
We come here for about 15 times. It has a very nice terasse in the summer on a busy & relaxed street. The people walking here is of a higher class I always go for the red curry shrimps which is the best i have found so far everywhere i have been. At a certain time it was very salty but we asked for hot water to dilute & it was ok. The waitresses are very nice. We also often go for the the chicken transparent noddle ( woonsen i believe ) & its a great pleasure enjoying the texture of these noodles. This is one of favorites restaurants ...
WE FOUND HAIR ON THREE DISHES *server was helpful Ordered 3 items & Thai milk tea ( Panang Chicken Curry, Beef Udon, & Garlic Pepper Shrimp) Garlic Pepper Shrimp was very bland, the taste were not up to our expectations. We love the Beef Udon & Panang Chicken Curry but we found a hair on both, our server was very friendly & offered us free Ice cream & the whole meal to be free. We got our ice cream & we happened to find another hair in the ice cream. We've been to Bangkok Express for several times, but this time we really did not enjoy the experience. Overall, the food tasted fair for the price, & we paid for the Thai milk tea, server was super helpful & patient (5 star for service), but the restaurant should really do a quality control.
Halal!!!! Finally asian restaurant that doesn't toss everything in soya sauce an call it food & have halal option!!!!! 1. Customer service - 12/10. I did uber eats & had to call the restaurant. The girl on the phone was patient & courteous. 2. Their chicken items are Halal. Its a dream for Montreal muslims to have halal Asian spots. There isn't many options 3. Quality & Quantity - 100/10. I never had friend rice taste like this. It is extremely flavourful, yet very simple & light. I ordered 6 items everything tasted different to each other, unique & flavourful. 4. Price- 6/10 price could have been better. Please do not change the quality & taste. It was very refreshing to eat here. Please highlight on your website & uber eats you serve halal. Many will orde

First time here & will definitely come back. Had the pad Thai with shrimp & chicken, red curry with beef, chicken with peanut sauce & mango & pandan sticky rice for dessert.
A friend of mine & I recently had lunch at Bangkok Express on Monkland Street in NDG, Montreal. We ordered the luncheon special, which included an imperial roll following by chicken in peanut sauce with fried spinach. I expected to receive two rolls as an entrée but we were served only one, which I thought frankly was cheap. The main dish of chicken in peanut sauce was good however the fried spinach is normally cooked with a slightly sweet coating, which in this case, was missing. The service at this Bangkok Express was good & the dishes were served promptly. There was nothing particularly noteworthy about this restaurant, the food was the same as I've had numerous times in other Thai or Asian restaurants. They probably use the same wholesale food supplier.
Excellent wait staff. Food was very tasty Portions were very filling. Our party of 4 had delicious soups, delectable veggie dumplings, 4 different main courses including Tofu with Mixed Vegetables, Phad Sew, Crispy Noodles with Chicken, Shrimp & Vegetables, & Choi Chee Fish. All were delicious!!

Delicious Thai food. We had curry beef , pad thai noodles & general Thai chicken & cold spring rolls. Scrumptious...all of it. Ask for large plates if you are sharing ala carte dishes. We got 6 inch dessert plates when we asked. The only thing those are good for is eating cake. Ask for ice also, we got warm, room temperature water. They don't have chilled water. They have ice..you just have to ask for it. I would have said something but I was with others. Forgot to take pics. Next time
The food is delicious. The staff is friendly. Their peanut chicken is excellent. I always enjoy my visit at the restaurant. Can't wait for summer when their terrace is open.
The food was just awful. I ordered the peanut sauce chicken with sticky rice, the rice was so overcooked that I could not cut it with a knife. I tried with a knife because my fork would not go through the rice.
I called the waitress & she was very insulting, she asked me if I know what sticky rice is? I told her that I eat sticky rice often & I cook it at home.
She also asked me if I know anything about sticky rice? I tried to hold my cool because I was in the company of another person.
I have eaten at other Thai restaurants before & I have never had sticky rice that was so overcooked & as hard as a rock.
I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. furthermore, I had to ask them to adjust the bill to remove the sticky rice that I returned to the kitchen.
After waiting for 10 minutes at the door to be seated, our presence was finally acknowledged & we went to eat on the terasse. The appetizers (fried dumplings & egg rolls) were quite good. The 2 entrees were garlic chicken (very small chicken pieces) & the Pad Thai which really disappointed me as it was quite greasy & had very little meat & only 2 small shrimp. Prices are quite reasonable & service is passable.
