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.
A few items are excellent & a great price for the item.
Last night ordered general tai was sub par.
Nice not to have it breaded but dry & little flavour & no heat. Quite disappointing
The ChoChee fish has yet to disappoint.
We ordered Thai red curry soup & crispy dumplings to start with, the soup was way too watery & lacked flavor. I had to pour some of the dipping sauce that came with the dumplings into the soup.
We ordered the choo-chee fish, Thai red curry with shrimp & beef udon. I made the mistake of asking them to make the food spicy, it was so spicy that we were crying, & we can handle spice. Also, there is no rice with the curries, so you have to order them separate which obviously cost more. The portion of ice-cream (which we got because of the food being overly spicy) was also too small for the price. The Thai milk tea was my savior.
This was my 4th time going to this restaurant, I don't know if I might be going back.

Late stop on a weeknight, outside terrace, had an amazing mango salad followed by a red curry fish, everything was amazing, highly recommend the mango salad & the service was excellent, very friendly.
Bangkok Express was such a surprise for me. I didn't think much of it every time I've been passed it. But I'm so, so glad that I've found it. I often find myself thinking about the food here, & it's been quite a while since I've visited.
The food was absolutely delicious. It has very authentic Thai flavors. The fish that I had was so, so good. It was slightly spicy, full of flavor, so soft & tender. I want to eat it again.
The service was very friendly & fast. The atmosphere gave more of a tropical bar type of vibe, but also very homey. It was nice.
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.
Great experience, food was fresh & delicious. We will for sure be back. The fish was amazing & the Padseew was the best I've ever had. Drinks were yummy too.
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!!

Started with poor service with 35 min to get water
Food is truly mediocre, save money go to Thai express, much better pad thai Fish was barely cooked. Fried noodles tasted cardboard
Sorry, not going back there!
