Food was really good! Service was also nice, not sure why the reviews say otherwise. Great portions- we were so full. Would definitely come back for more.
I wouldn't recommend eating here honestly. My pad see ew was terrible & tasted weird. It did not look or taste authentic at all. My friend got the pad thai & it wasn't as bad but it was also not great either. It seems like they don't know how to make proper thai food. I'm from nyc & I'm used to having very authentic Thai food so this place did not make the mark. I usually never send food back but I just could not finish my dish. I'm giving 3 stars because the staff were nice & took it off my bill. At least the appetizers & soup were pretty good but the main dishes sucked Edit due to response from owner: I've had very good Thai food in many other cities, not just in New York. Unfortunately your food was simply not good. I am not a picky person so that's saying something. I'd recommend improving your cooking instead of defending it. You've received low ratings from others as well. Please take the feedback of your customers into account if you would like to improve the success of your business. Posting multiple edits is not a good look lol. I'll be recommending my friends to eat at other establishments.
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.

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.
Food was ok. Atmosphere was chic. Service was horrendous. Needed to ask to be given menus, then asked for water. Had to flag down the staff to order. Food arrived in a reasonable amount of time. Once finished eating, we waited again to then have to ask to get the included coffee / tea. Finally had to hunt down staff to pay our bill. I'm a patient person, & luckily had nowhere to be but the wait at every step & to have to flag the staff down every time - less than ideal. They weren't particularly busy either so no excuses. Maybe we were just seated in the Bermuda triangle of tables? I won't be rushing back.
Went here for a late lunch. Service: was a little slow(was not to busy), but the girl was so friendly & cheery even if she looked very stressed out. food: was good, but it was expensive & the amount they give was not that much. I get, inflation, but 18$ for fried rice is crazy for the amount that was given. Overall, food & service was good, but goodness was it expensive.
The new menu looks great. My favorite is the stirfry shrimp with basil & vegetables & a side order of sticky rice! So delicious. Love eating on the terrace.
It's a lovely restaurant. It's just that I'm very used to hardcore authentic Thai food (I even traveled to Thailand a couple of times), so this restaurant's foods taste Westernized. But this restaurant will be fine if you're a casual Thai food person.
