Great place for a late night snack.
The chicken skewers were juicy, tasty & perfectly cooked. Served with delicious peanut butter sauce. The green papaya salad was fresh & delicious. The sticky rice with mango was yummy without being overly sweet.
If you're looking for authentic Thai cuisine, this is the place to be. Every dish we ordered was a perfect balance of sweet, sour, salty, & spicy. The Pad Thai had that elusive smoky wok hei flavor, & the chicken Coco Curry soupe was incredibly rich & fragrant. You can tell they use fresh herbs & high-quality ingredients. Truly a 5-star experience for any foodie!'

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.
