Bangkok Express is portrayed as a solid value for Thai dining with a warm, lively atmosphere and a menu that covers a broad variety at reasonable prices. Reviewers praise tasty staples such as spring rolls, tom yum soup, pad thai and generous curries, plus popular items like green curry and duck dishes, while a few dishes are noted as greasy or overly salty and some visits mention inconsistency or slower or less attentive service. The staff are frequently described as friendly and the interior or terrace setting adds to the appeal, with some guests planning to return and others recalling it as a neighbourhood favorite, though a lunch special policy about beverage substitutions drew mixed feelings. Overall Bangkok Express offers a dependable, flavorful experience with good value and a welcoming vibe that encourages repeat visits.
After moving away from NDG a couple of years ago, I found myself looking for a Thai restaurant that satisfied me the same as BKK. I finally made it back, & it did not disappoint.
Generous portions for a reasonable price & the flavour is always spot on.
Don't hesitate to this restaurant a try!
Quality of the food is noticeably lower than it used to be. Such a shame. It was my go to thai restaurant back in the day. I give it a chance every now & then & get different dishes but it's a let down every time. What happened?
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.
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!

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.
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 ...
SO YUMMY! I find it challenging to get good Thai food in Montreal, & this place made my year when I discovered it. Their lunch specials are delicious & affordable. My favorite used to be beef & eggplant until they swapped that out & I tried the cashew tofu. Out of this world! The ambiance is great, they have a patio in the summertime & although it gets jampacked with people, the servers are always on top of their game. Highly recommend!
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.
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 !

La nourriture était excellente. C'est le Meilleur restaurant thaïlandais de Montréal & de très loin !!
Le service est également très bon & le restaurant est joliment décoré.
Le prix est très bon
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.
I recently dined at Bangkok Express & was truly impressed! From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was warm & inviting, blending traditional Thai decor with a modern touch. The staff were friendly & attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. As for the food-it was exceptional! Each dish was bursting with authentic flavors, perfectly balanced with fresh ingredients & spices. We ordered Imperial roll, spring roll, dimpsums, general bbk, Udon noodles & Green curry. Whether you're a fan of Thai cuisine or new to it, this restaurant offers an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy top-notch Thai food!"
