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.
Découvert pendant mon passage à Montréal,
Personnel accueillant avec service de qualité !
Le PadThaï est excellent, un des meilleurs que j’ai gouter.
Je recommande cette place !
I had an incredible dining experience at this Thai restaurant! The food was bursting with authentic flavors, & the presentation was exquisite. The staff was attentive & friendly, creating a warm atmosphere. I can't wait to return for more delicious Thai cuisine!
Everything was really tasteful with every bite you can taste the wonderful mix of the flavors. I order an entree & a main dish both came out of the kitchen still fuming everything tasted fresh. I can't believe I never had the chance of visiting this place before.
I can't forget the staff, super friendly & thoughtful. I was not sure what to order & they recommended food for me, which I did not regret. Thank you Ajin, Jenny & Lina for your help!
The food is delicious. The staff is friendly. Their peanut chicken is excellent. I always enjoy my visit at the restaurant. Can't wait for summer when their terrace is open.
We ordered take out here & the food was so good it drove me to write my first ever restaurant review. We got green curry, pad see ew, & a few appetizers. Everything was top notch. The pieces of meat were generous & of good size. The other ingredients seemed to be high quality & authentic. Of note they used bamboo shoots & asian eggplant that I usually see substituted out so I considered them a real treat here.
This place certainly blows away Thai Express & Sesame which Montrealers may be familiar with. I consider Thai Express to be of low quality, but reasonably priced. I consider Sesame to be chintzy for its price & only marginally better than Thai Express. If you have another local Thai place you love I can't speak to that, but if Bangkok Express is near enough to you I recommend giving it a try.
Note that we ordered take out rather than dined in, but I gave the service high marks because the food was ready quickly & the take out person was very friendly & prompt.
Very bad service! Staff does not care about accommodating it's clients. Staff is slow, inattentive & inexperienced. Skip this one for more customer oriented restaurants.

The food was just awful. I ordered the peanut sauce chicken with sticky rice, the rice was so overcooked that I could not cut it with a knife. I tried with a knife because my fork would not go through the rice.
I called the waitress & she was very insulting, she asked me if I know what sticky rice is? I told her that I eat sticky rice often & I cook it at home.
She also asked me if I know anything about sticky rice? I tried to hold my cool because I was in the company of another person.
I have eaten at other Thai restaurants before & I have never had sticky rice that was so overcooked & as hard as a rock.
I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. furthermore, I had to ask them to adjust the bill to remove the sticky rice that I returned to the kitchen.
After waiting for 10 minutes at the door to be seated, our presence was finally acknowledged & we went to eat on the terasse. The appetizers (fried dumplings & egg rolls) were quite good. The 2 entrees were garlic chicken (very small chicken pieces) & the Pad Thai which really disappointed me as it was quite greasy & had very little meat & only 2 small shrimp. Prices are quite reasonable & service is passable.
This restaurant has evolved from a tiny hole-in-the-wall with no liquor license (but tasty food) to a spacious & casually elegant eatery with a wine list. We have lived in NDG since 2008 & have been there many times over the years for a tasty & inexpensive Thai meal-delicious! They now even have a terrasse.

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!
