I was in for a little nostalgia trip. This place has been here for about 20 years, probably more. Used to go here all the time when I was a Bellman at the Double Tree, formerly known as Hilton. Unfortunately it's just not the same, at all. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken ° The chicken had a shrimpy taste.... ° The pineapple tasted bready (????) ° They used to serve it on a bed of rice, but now you have to get it separately The lady serving inside was nice enough, and the interior dining was clean and not run down. But I can't overlook the extremely off flavors. Genuinely hope I don't have a stomach problem later. read more

A Thai Express - Sweet and Sour Chicken. Chicken tasted shrimpy and the pineapple tasted bready. Some of it was okay, but it was very off-putting. - Thai Near Me - Newark, California

Went to look for a quick late lunch Thai food before going to Newark Costco. Our first time going here on a Saturday late afternoon. Ordered Shrimp Fried rice, Mongolian Beef, and Fried Fish. Also, note that the fish didn't left a fishy smell or taste, which is a +++ for me. The Mongolian Beef? Wow! 97% soft beef, 1.5 % sautéed onions, and 0.5 zucchini. Wonderfully seasoned with wok/ soy sauce flavor. Fried rice is straight forward fried with 10 pcs of big shrimps. True to their word, no MSG. We were surprised that we received a cook to order food. Was told that they do this on weekends. Weekdays, as regular workdays- food are already cooked. Food is reasonably priced with plenty of serving. Food was delicious. Staff were friendly. Come and try this restaurant and see for yourself. Will try other items in their menu, next weekend. read more

Quick service and tasty food. Love their lunch specials. Check out their spicy thai chicken. Definitely a revisit. read more

A Thai Express - Menu - Thai Near Me - Newark, California

The lady at the counter was a little rude. Asked for the water and she pointed to the left without looking at me. I asked for the cup and she pointed her finger again to the left without looking at me , just looking at the cash register. She looked annoyed. We ordered Thai spicy chicken and it was delicious. Then I ordered soda in the counter, tried to pay by card and the same lady said not nicely, we don't accept credit card for just the soda. I think the place will have more customers if the lady was a little nicer because they have good food. I ate here maybe twice before years ago and the lady who worked there before was much nicer and they had more customers,too. The food price is not cheap. Casual dining, they have 4 1/2 tables and chairs. Not busy for a Sunday afternoon, maybe 3 dine ins and 1 take out order in an hour. Lots of parking. Customers pay for their food, it is not free, so be nice . read more

We used to go there , before covit the food was good but I went there few months ago , bought half tray chow mein ,it was so blend and uncooked . We had to through away all the food. Today I got fried rice and egg plant , really disappointed with my meal. The rice was undercooked and which made it unpleasnt to eat and did not taste anything like proper fried rice. Definitely not what I was hoping for,and I would not order it again. read more

We use to come here for many years. Unfortunately over time the quality of the food changed a lot. The chicken and beef meats tasted more bland and sometimes not fully cooked. We also noticed the owner was always in a bad mood and rushing us in orders. We dined in a few times recently and everytime we felt she didn't want anyone to dine in but be alone to watch tv or go on her phone as we witnessed most of the times. We ask for hot sauces to go and she offers only 2 small quarter sizes. When we order $50-70 worth of food. We stopped doing due to her attitude and the quality of food! Wouldn't reccomend. read more

This place is amazing. Food is perfect every time and the people are so kind. I've been coming here since I was a child. Even after moving away, I still happily drive the 96 miles just to come eat here with my mom read more

Very disappointed.We ordered veg fried rice,but there was hardly any,just two pieces of broccoli and carrots,it had eggs but smelled like fish( may be it was fried with fish oil).The cashier lady wasn't smiling ,not bothered to care the guest. Restaurant is good and neat though. read more

I have been ordering black pepper fish from Thai express for years and years! Love it each time, never disappointed, never had to wait for my food, always ready at times when I went to pick it up! read more

This place is named Thai but it's really halal Chinese food. Their fried rice and black pepper fish is absolutely delicious the chow mein was pretty dry - last time I had it was good, but this time it was okay. The price is really reasonable! read more

A quick go to pick up dinner spot. This place is a great last minute takeout place. It's flavorful, it's quick and it taste so good! I love picking up food from here on my way home from work or just randomly when I'm in the area. read more

Food tasted like it was old and when you tell them it doesn't taste right, they got offended. Don't waste your money , horrible service.

The worst 'Thai' restaurant in the bay area. This is really a Chinese run place, but in order to jack up the prices and give less portions, they call it Thai by adding 2-3 'Thai' items along with Chinese regular items. Over that, place is overpriced and priced similar to a sit down place. All that would also be acceptable, but the food is horrible. Just horrible. DO NOT ORDER THAI items. They charge $16 for Veg Thai fried rice, it comes with rice with 1 piece of brocolli. There are so many Thai restaurants in Fremont, and priced the same as this express place. AVOID. read more

Food is yummy and delicious :) best part is that it's not too greasy. Mongolian beef is super tender. I highly recommend. read more

A Thai Express - a plate of food on a table - Thai Near Me - Newark, California

Ordered two large trays of Thai spicy chicken for Iftar. Food was delicious and everyone enjoyed it very much. Ordered a day in advance and it was ready right when I got there for pick up. read more

I'm new to the area and thought I would give this place a try. The noodles were yummy. I usually shy away from spicy items, but the Kung pao chicken just looked so good. It did not disappoint. Yummy! I'm making this place my frequent lunch place. Can't wait to try other menu items. read more

How?!!!! How do people eat here? I just got done eating here because my husband wanted to eat this place and I feel like throwing up. I feel like the rubbery chicken is stuck in my stomach! How could I describe the texture of the chicken??, like gum. Omg I hate to bash a small local business, but this was really bad. God bless anyone who even comes here as a repeat customer. I give them props. read more

This is not very Thai food but for the price and friendly service it is worth your time for a quick bite.

Everything on their menu is delicious and if you like things spicy u can request for them to make it even spicier. The owner and employees are super friendly and they make food super fast. Been going here for years! read more

Bes Thai food in the Bay Area. just love it. I have been going to this place since 12 years. Best part is that its halal.

Good fresh Thai. Small but varied menu. Halal and veg options. I like it. Note that Doordash shows higher prices, but at the restaurant most things are about $15. Portions are large. Very small place, its more of a take out shop with a few tables. The pad thai is excellent. BTW the shop is in a dark spot not facing the street so hard to find and not appropriate for women at night IMHO. You'll see the Gyro place on the corner, and it's next door. read more

I went here a couple days ago and do not recommend it. I went with a big family this time and had lots of orders. Everything went well and we all went home. I tried going to sleep but felt something wrong, I felt like wanted to throw up. I throw up 10 times that night and had a really bad fever and was dehydrated. I guess they probably didn't cook the chicken or beef correctly. read more

Yes this restaurant is Halal! (May 21') Came here around 6pm to pickup some togo items. I ordered Mongolian beef, red curry chicken, kung pao chicken, and pad thai. First off, quantity of all items was so generous. This made two meals for the entire family! The speed was awesome, she had my order ready under ten minutes from when i ordered at the counter. Reminds me of Hunan style muslim Chinese food. My favorite item was the red curry chicken. They are generous with protein on all the items. Red curry had lots of chicken and veggies, slightly spicy just how i like it! Mongolian beef and kung pao chicken seemed to have a similar sauce. So i wouldnt order both at the same time if youre looking to try different items. Mongolian beef was so soft!! Beef here was cooked very well. Overall really enjoyed this spot for a fast togo option. They have great lunch specials and its EXTREMELY reasonable in price for the portion, hard to come by prices like these in the bay area these days. There is plenty of parking in the lot, behind the starbucks in this complex. There is no indoor dining due to covid but they are very well prepared for togo orders. read more

The food here is always consistently good! Favorites are the Mongolian beef, Kung Pao shrimp, and the chicken chow mein. Great fast service too! read more

I hadn't been to this place in about 15 years until I went there this past Friday. It used to be a place that I regularly went to with my mom and the food was always good. I walked in and immediately noticed that it looked EXACTLY the same as it had all those years ago. They keep it really clean and the food is better than I remember it being before. The black pepper fish has definitely improved - it used to be a bit over seasoned, but now I love it! We also got spicy beef and broccoli (the beef basically melts in your mouth! It's perfect), chow mein and fried rice. The servers are nice enough. Not overly friendly, but I wouldn't consider them rude. If I lived closer, I'd eat here every week. read more

Came in my first time for lunch. One other person came before me. 12:30pm on a Thursday, can't beat no wait. They were getting their product delivery while i was there. This place is small but always spotless. Their lunch service is a fast food lunch style, way different then thier family style dinner menu. They had chow mein, fried rice, broccoli beef, orange chicken, Thai chicken and salt and pepper fish. read more

Been here twice. We got the sesame chicken and the Kung Pao Chicken. I would describe it as a much better Panda Express. The ingredients taste better, big portions, and we got our food very fast. This is definitely our go to takeout Chinese food. read more

Food was amazing. Menu is limited but vey good. The staff is helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend.

Nothing close to authentic Thai food. But I'm usually ok with that as long as the food tastes good. But man the food here is nasty. The seasoning/sauce is ok, but the texture and taste of the chicken is gross, I think they soaked the chicken with tenderizer or baking soda, making it abnormally tender, and taste like baking soda. From that you'll know the freshness of the food. No need to say more. read more

A Thai Express - Thai Near Me - Newark, California

The food quality was OK, and the service was fast; however, the person taking the order was rude. There is no halal certification displayed, and when asked to see one, they didn't have it. This questions the authenticity of whether the meat is halal. Even when the meat is sourced from a place that claims to be halal, you still need to provide proof that indeed your meat is halal. I will not go back to this place. read more

The food used to be good, and is pretty consistent. The lady at the front is rude or overly friendly depending on her mood. Average food. Not sure if they are Halal read more

Me and my family have been eating here for a long time. The food tastes great and has stayed consistent with the flavor and texture. Overall, a great restaurant and most definitely recommended. read more

So, I've been hibernating for the past 6 months but I'm back!..and my come-back review goes to Thai Express in Fremont. Yes, the place is small (from reading other reviews about the place) but this restuarant deserves an A+ for their food quality and taste. Hats off to the chef(s) of this joint. I ordered food for about 20 people for a surprise birthday party which I was throwing for my husband and all the guests absolutely enjoyed it! The price was also very reasonable! I've eaten the food here a couple of times in the past and it was great, but to make a large quantity and still have the food taste amazing is on a whole 'nother level! I live in Vacaville and traveled all the way to Fremont just to pick up the food for that evening's dinner. That, right there, should speak for itself about how awesome this place is! Halal, Thai Cuisine, Good Prices, Great Tasting Food-- you just can't go wrong. read more

They served us pad thai with egg despite telling them we are vegan and on asking she said - she understand vegan something else. Wow !! What a great people. They should start asking themselves if a person says veggie what it means. For god sake vegetarian and vegan people do not eat EGG. Disgusting. read more

I love Thai food but this place was not all that good The people who work there were not very welcoming they looked at me like what was I doing there I was hungry so I decided to get some food anyway but I regretted the noodles were very dry the chicken was not really juicy it was very dry as well I will spend my money elsewhere read more

CASH ONLY. Love this place. Its quick, its delicious and its affordable ($6-10 a dish). Also the owner May is a sweet heart. She is Chinese, but a Muslim Chinese woman who saw a need to provide Halal Thai/Chinese food to the public. Fast and kind service (Food comes out in less than 10 mins). My top 3 Dishes: 1. Black Pepper Fish: The fish is always amazing and not too breaded. $9.49 2. Chicken or Veggie Pad Thai: Amazing. Simple and soothes my craving for pad thai at a decent price. 3. Kung pap chicken: Huge Portion for what it is. Plus the chicken is super lean. $8.49 White rice: $1 Brown rice: $2 Comes in a small Togo box. Most of the dishes come with white rice. Everything is served in white TO-GO boxes since it is a fast food joint. If you do choose to dine-in, they will give you plastic utensils and plastic plates, free of cost! Overall, I'm always here for a quick meal. Its not much of a dining experience, like its name its a quick express spot for delicious Thai food. So for that I give it 5 stars. read more

Bare bones restaurant which has seen better days. Super grumpy dour lady "helped" me. The sesame chicken was stringy and smothered unevenly with sauce and the pad thai was meh. There was barely any tofu in the eggplant tofu. You know the food was not good when the best thing you can say about the food was that it was hot. read more
