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.
We went to Bangkok Express & overall had a great experience.
The atmosphere is really nice, with a warm & lively vibe, & the prices are very reasonable, especially for the variety offered on the menu.
Food-wise, it was a good mix:
• The spring rolls & tom yum soup were excellent, full of flavor & very satisfying
• The pad thai was very good, although just a little on the oily side
• The fried rice was good, but not particularly memorable
• Cocktails were nice, but slightly on the sweeter side
Service was smooth & the overall experience was very enjoyable.
In short, a solid & satisfying spot with great value for money. We'll definitely be back.
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

We visit this restaurant periodically & with big family for the last 2 years.
We have always been satisfied honestly we love their dumplings with peanut sauce ... today it was an unpleasant experience ! We cannot explain why but food tasted bad (thai sweet & sour for example) we did not enjoy. We usually had fun reading the fortune cookies for the whole family, we discovered today that they are not offered anymore & we have to pay for them even though the bill was massive, they did not offer for the kids at least ... that's unfortunate ... I do not think it is worth the drive anymore ...
Good Thai restaurant with great Pad Thai & sticky rice. The Thai Tea that I ordered was too sweet & lost its flavour. I would be happy to come back when I next visit Montreal.
My boyfriend & I went last night & it was an amazing experience. For drinks I got the lychee martini, compared to other places this one was the best. My bf got the coconut water & it was sweet a refreshing. We ordered the duck app & sweet & sour wings. The duck was a little salty but still delicious. Wings had the perfect crunch & amount of sauce on them. We both ordered the pad Thai, would have given 5 stars but one of us got the wrong protein in our main dish & it came a little too early we still hadn't finished our appetizers. Nonetheless, service & food was amazing & i would recommend & will be returning !
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.

I really wanted to give a better star but the food was tooooooooo sweet full of sugar. I had eaten Thai food before & I loved it but this one was unbearable We were 4. None of us enjoyed our meal. Maybe it wasn't our taste. The waitress told us that we could have mentioned it earlier to make it less sweet but how could we know when it was our first time . We had to order steam rice to moderate the sweetness but still didn't work My husband got sick that night The staff was so great, attentive & nice We ordered tea & that one was good.
TOOOOO SWEET! It is good if they ask customers when ordering if they really want tons of sugar in their meal! By the way, the service is good & staff provided perfect service with smile.
Wow! Such an amazing dining experience! The service is really good, the workers are very sweet even when they seem stressed & when busy . The food was very delicious & fast. I totally recommend Bangkok express ! Phad Thai is a must ! The Choo-Chee aswell thought it takes more time, super worth it !
Fantastic local place, tasty food , sweet, sour & spicy perfectly balanced as it is supposed to be with Thai food, great prices, fast friendly service , pleasant atmosphere, definitely worth a visit

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.
