First this isn't a Thai restaurant. This is a Chinese restaurants with a few Thai style dishes. Most of the menu is Chinese, the employees are Chinese. A few of the dishes are identical with a Chinese and Thai style but with 2 names. Same dish, 2 names. There are better Thai restaurants and better Chinese. Choose one of those and you won't regret it. read more

Always consistent especially with pepper fish. Reasonably priced and large portions. I do think they need to add more thai dishes since the place is called Thai Express. Seems like they have more Chinese which is fine but can be misleading. Also, they close too early. Overall, food is good and that's the most important thing. read more

Good tasting, affordable Thai/Chinese food. The better deals are definitely during lunch when you can pay per item rather than entree style during dinner service. Halal food that's tasty and affordable...I recommend. read more

This Thai restaurant has only a couple "Thai" dishes, and even those (or at least the one I tried) taste like mediocre fast-food Chinese take-out. The food isn't bad, but it's not Thai, and it's not exactly good, either. read more

Came here only because didn't want to wait at Sala Thai. Regret it when I saw the dish they brought to my table. I ordered a curry chicken with rice, and it tastes ... curry. Nothing else. And the owner sounds like she doesn't want you here. Won't come again. read more

Come here pretty regularly and it is a good place. The worker behind the counter is always nice and the food is good. They have coconut water and other drinks on the right. Usually eat here but you can take it to go if you need read more

Idk what the low ratings are for. The multiple times we've been here, the food is really good and they give you lots of it. The lady at the front desk is super nice and tries to keep declining tips as well. Some people may not "get" people from other cultures (like some reviews I read), but the workers here like the lady at the register are well meaning and nice people. It's also never been very crowded, so we get our food in a timely manner. Tldr; Good food, good value, good service. read more

Too oily, the tofu was too aged, too spicy - even when asked for mild, - too many flies, too h... Meh.... Won't return there.

I found this place last night and decided to try their black pepper fish. A bit bread-y for me (the pieces of fish are breaded) and although the black pepper flavor predominated, the use of only onions and bell pepper as the large pieces of vegetables made for rather depth-less flavors, even with all the tiny hunks of garlic. I'll think twice about coming back read more

I was a fan, I haven't been here in years. It's a good fix whenever I want Pad Thai. Prices for the portions used to match together, but lately the ingredients have been skimped. I've heard it was better to go during dinner time. A portion of the noodles may vary from $6-9 depending on the menu during the day. read more

One of my favorite Thai food places!! The food here is always fresh and hot! I always get the chicken chow mein noodles, sesame chicken, corn soup, and spicy chicken. Food is very tasty and never fails to please. The owner is also very nice and always looks out for her customers. 10/10 would recommend. read more

This place was okay. I got pad thai noodles with tofu. It was quite filling but VERY lemony. They put too much lemon. The thai iced tea was good, but who can screw up thai iced tea...its just that it was close to three dollars ($2.79)!!!! WTF!! The best part of my experience was that there was a FINE ASS guy ordering take out too. I was too chicken to say hi, so i just smiled on my way out...and he smiled back. read more

Great food for being a Halal Thai/Chinese place here in the bay.

This is one of the only local halal Asian restuarants close to my house, and I've been going here since I was about 13 or 14 years old and I'm 21 now. If you want something quick, filling, and delicious come to Thai Express. I come here at least 3 times a month, I almost always order beef chow mein with sour and sour chicken. One of my favorite restaurants in Newark. read more

Good food for good price. Cant beat the lunch special. Get spicy chicken....yummy with just the right amount of heat!!

Food is great Good service n portions are too big U can always have a doggy bag We really enjoyed Don't miss to order spicy Thai chicken n eggplant for vegetarians Steam rice is a big plate One is enough for a family read more

I come here all the time with my mom. This place is soo good and fresh. Definitely recommend this place.

I'm a fan and I eat there a few times a month for a few years now. The lady running the cash register knows my order. I don't really care to try anthing else except the black pepper fish and red curry chicken. The red curry chicken takes me back to Bangkok, Thailand everytime while the the black pepper fish is just so delicious. read more

Not authentic Thai.. more like the name says.. Thai Express.. Good place to grab a quick lunch since lunch is deli style and all the items are out there already cooked. For dinner its off the menu. THe prices are not that bad. Not a place to bring a big group.. more like a to go order place.. i like it because I can go in and order a couple of items with fried rice and noodles and its only like 7 dollars.. you can't beat that.. and like i said.. its fast.. and they do take credit cards.. so another plus.. the only star off is because its not genuinely Thai but more like a fusion place.. read more

Red curry in a hurry! Had this place today for lunch after a year. Food is a 4/5 and service I'd say is a 5/5 but there isn't much to judge when the food is already made and served (think panda express.) Only flaw was all of the sauce from my entree dripped into the bag. Oh well. read more

Set up for To Go orders--plastic forks and spoons on disposable plates are all you'll get if you eat in. Food quality was just okay, and they don't serve any gluten, unfortunately. Was never offered a drink either; odd. read more

I love coming here. Sometimes the food taste good sometimes it's okay but since it's hallal I trust the meat and prefer coming here then other places that might cook there food with pork. I always get the chow mein and sesame chicken read more

I love their place, they have the best chinese/thai food. Also very afforadable, I always get the black pepper chicken or thai curry, whith white rice. They are also halal which is good. My fav spot. i would recommend anyone to go anc check it out. read more

THE spot for halal Asian food...PERIOD.

The people who run this place have always been good to me, very nice and friendly. My go to dish is the spicy chicken. Good food and reasonable prices. read more

We go here for dinner mostly as we don't work near the area (for lunch), but sometimes we will pick up lunch too if we're in the area. Dinner size portions are big and the food is great too. Love their pad thai chicken or shrimps, red curry chicken, thai spicy chicken, black pepper fish, and orange chicken. The prices have gone up a little bit, but then so has inflation. Their portions are still big compared to other (halal) Thai places. Will be back again. read more

Tried this on a whim at 2 pm on a Tuesday and was pleasantly surprised. Spicy Chicken dish was excellent. Big portions. Inexpensive. Lightning quick. Solid bang for the buck. read more

The food is great they need to work on the chow Mein & fried rice other then this the restaurant is decent tasteful food for the price is pretty good read more

The lady was Arrogant, RUDE and Disgusting. I asked her for a sample of a curry she just ignored me and gave me a look that she never heard something like this. When I asked her again about the sample she said there is a person behind me so she couldn't give me a sample. OMG, so rude and unprofessional. The food was extremely oily and tasteless. I definitely won't be going. read more

I wish I could give this place more stars. Honestly it he service is great, the lady does not try and cheat you but rather gives you a tremendous amount of food definitely worth every penny. She's very kind and has a playful personality. If you can't take a joke so be it, she even challenged my brother and I to see how much we could eat after we ordered a few dishes. Now besides service being spectacular, the food is very good. While it may not be perfect it's very close. They give you so much food that you'll probably have enough left over for the next day. A lot of food and it's definitely tasty. I highly recommend this place, small stores like this are 100x better than the larger halal stores like Dar Dar. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do, and go in with an open mind! read more

The food here is excellent to say the least. The food is cooked to order and the service is fast. I recommend the eggplant dish, fried rice and the pad Thai. If you get two entrees be expected to pay about $17. Which seem a little high however you do get a lot. read more

This place is just incredible. The prices are great and food is delicious. I only wish they would deliver, but I'm not gonna take away any stars for that. Full of flavor and great customer service. The same nice Asian lady has the chefs make your food regular or spicy in a timely manner. Thank you Thai Express. read more

Horrible place ! They don't honor that you have arrived for the lunch our or will make more of any one item. Very rude when telling you and I will. Ever come back to this place ever again ! read more

I used to come here a lot, but haven't been craving it much anymore. The food here is halal, which is awesome! Customer service is pretty good, clean restaurant, good food. Definitely give it a try! read more

This place has good food especially the spicy chicken my favorite anytime I go to Fremont I always stop by and they are Express I recommend this place to everyone read more

They recently raised the prices here, or at least the pad thai. I usually only get the tofu, which cost 8.50 now compared to 6.50 before. It's still worth coming here if you want a quick bite. Super quick and proportional are gigantic. read more

Reasonably priced, delicious halal food. Order the sesame chicken and their fried rice. I love this place so much I had their food ordered for my birthday party :D Best fried rice I ever had! read more

Service is beyond horrible!!! I ordered the black pepper chicken and when I got it, it didn't look anything like the picture; it smelled bad, and the taste was terrible!! I told the cashier that I wanted a refund because this was nothing like how it was advertised and I couldn't even eat this! She told me no refunds. I said excuse me, I literally can't eat this and it's nothing like it is advertised in the photo and I would appreciate my money back and I'll be on my way. She refused! She was rude and told me that I'm stupid and just pointed at the picture on the wall a few times. I told her I don't like being talked to that way and I would like my money back now. She said she told me it wasn't good when I put in my order and that its my fault I decided to get it anyway. She never said that to me when I was ordering and if she did I would've taken her word for it... So I was fed up and decided to leave, but my friend said no we're not just going to leave and have paid for a disgusting meal. She told the lady that she needs to speak with a manager about getting a refund or she's calling the police. The lady started acting aggressive and told her she needs to leave or she's going to call the police on us. My friend told her to call the police, because either way they're in the wrong and we didn't do anything wrong. The lady started dialing numbers on the phone and we stood there waiting. The lady stopped dialing and gave us a very evil stare. My friend told her she needs to speak to the manager now or she's seriously calling the non emergency police to settle this. The lady told her there is no manager at the business. My friend didn't take that as a legitimate answer, because obviously every place has a manager. I dialed the non emergency Fremont police and as I was giving them the address the lady called her manager on the phone. She talked in a different language and seemed like she was laughing and making fun of us, then after a few minutes she hung up the phone. Took out cash from the register that was the correct amount for the refund, slammed the money on the counter, and walked away into the back without saying a word. Disgusting behavior from a business and we definitely won't be back, including our families and friends. A horrible display of unprofessionalism!!! read more

Eek. I'm always leery of restaurants that have the word "express" in their name, but I thought I'd try this one anyway. Well, I should have trusted my instincts. This is really a Chinese restaurant in disguise. Very little of this restaurant can be considered Thai with the exception of a few dishes- Red Curry Chicken, Pad Thai, and Thai Spicy Chicken (and variations. of this with different choices of meats). Oh, and there's a Thai cookbook on a bookcase near the register. Scary to think that maybe they used that cookbook! I'm not saying the food is terrible, but if you're expecting Thai food, you'll be disappointed. There are large photos of the dishes on the wall, but they seem to look alike. This is primarily a take-out place, although there are about five tables. They don't serve any hot drinks, so if you want tea, you'll have to walk over to Starbucks around the corner. For $5.99, you get a large styrofoam container filled with whatever dish you choose, such as the Red Curry Chicken. Rice is extra! I thought the rice would be included, but what we got was another large styrofoam container filled with rice! If you do go here, you'll be fine with ordering one item with rice, and this will feed two people or possibly more! read more

after months of indecision, we tried this place and soon regretted it. when I asked what the black pepper chicken consisted of, the terse, unhelpful chinese lady snapped that I should have the spicy thai chicken. I looked behind to see if anyone was behind us to make her so impatient. there wasn't. against my better judgement we heeded her, and added pad thai & red curry chicken. I should have been alerted when they charge a buck extra for small box of non-jasmine rice. she hastily brought our styrofoam boxes to the table. when I asked for a cup of water she reacted as if I wanted to borrow her car for the weekend. she distractedly waved at the pitcher & cups on a counter. the helpings were large and the quality was mediocre at best. it reeked of packaged mix and sri racha chili sauce. being halal is their big selling point (is msg halal?). an afghani family at the next table quietly ate their meal. they were restricted to THIS place as their thai food experience? I felt mildly sorry for them. inexpensive? only if you ignore poor quality and scruffy atmosphere. if you've never had good thai food then you might not be disappointed. if you have, then avoid Thai Express and congratulate yourself for it. read more
