For years I've always loved Thai Smile basil chicken, and yesterday I tried Recipes by Miss Risa's Thai basil chicken. I've also had the Thai basil chicken at Bourbon on Main as a seasonal offering they have there during the colder months. All are very good, but if I had to rate them, I would rate China Wok #1, Thai Smile #2, Bourbon on Main #3, and Recipes by Miss Risa #4. They all offer fantastic Thai basil chicken, but China Wok has really set the bar on this dish in Frankfort. That said, if you like Thai basil chicken you are in luck because any of the 4 mentioned served really great Thai basil chicken. This is my favorite Thai dish by far, so we are really blessed in Frankfort to have so many options for this amazing dish!

It's time to write an update for this restaurant and the take out food that we buy. This is the…read moresecond time (out of the last two purchases, about six months apart) that our order has been filled incorrectly. So I'm taking off one star just for the disappointment that happens when you get home with something other than you are expecting. Last time our hot & sour soup order was "Happy Family Soup" which my husband couldn't eat at all because of the assortment of meats and fish. This time our order of Pork Lo Mein was filled with Pork Mei Fun. The rice noodles had ZERO SAUCE OR FLAVOR. if I'm intending on ordering Mei Fun I always order Singapore Mei Fun with the delicious curry seasoning. The second star is removed because the Hot & Sour soup was beyond HOT! I really like spicey food as does my husband but this soup deadened my taste buds towards food eaten at a separate meal on a separate day. It was SO HOT that the broth of the soup was an orangey red. Every spoonful had at least three or four visible chunks of red pepper. The bottom of the bowl was a collection of ground black pepper, white pepper, and chunks of red pepper skins. The first night we ate the soup it was HOT but tolerable because it was something we hadn't eaten for a while. The second night neither one of us wanted to finish the bowl because it was just TOO HOT! The third star taken off is for the quality of meat used in the General Tso's Chicken and the Mongolian Beef. The chicken was large, hard, stringy pieces of chicken that you could neither cut with a steak knife or chew. The sauce was obviously made by their cook that likes heat. It was orange not brown because of the number of red peppers. The whole large order only had two pieces total of broccoli. As for the Mongolian Beef it was thick chewy chunks of beef like what should have been used as stew meat so it would become tender. Once again it was unchewable and not worth struggling with a sharp knife. There was little sauce or onions with the Mongolian beef so it was a bust! My husband would like me to take off a fourth star because what we planned would be a third night of dinners is going in the garbage. We are dumping one quart of hot & sour soup, 2/3 an order of Mongolian Beef, 2/3 of an order of General Tso's Chicken, 2/3 of the Mei Fun that we had hoped would be our Pork Lo Mein, and three small containers of rice. WHAT A WASTE! That's money down the drain. I on the other hand am giving the star because the Egg Foo Yung on the first night was delicious. I'm being generous giving this restaurant two stars because we maybe didn't like the food but at least we didn't get sick like some reviewers have written in their reviews. WE WILL NOT BE BACK FOR AT LEAST A YEAR AND DEFINITELY WILL READ CURRENT YELP REVIEWS BEFORE WE RETURN !

Orient Express deserves a shoutout!…read more This place was SO busy. Like, everyone was working, moving fast, and absolutely busting their asses to make it happen. The food looked and smelled freshly cooked right off the stove -- I'm assuming it's cooked to order because they were CRAZY busy. I thought I'd be smart and go inside to pick up my online order... nope. It was just as busy in there! No problem, though. They recognized my order, I paid, and found a little corner toward the front of the restaurant to wait. About 10 minutes in, I did what I do best... choked on air. Normally, I have a bottle of water with me because apparently I am a person who needs emergency hydration at all times. Not today. Of course. I discreetly stepped outside and headed toward my car, praying I hadn't forgotten my water bottle. I had. BUT by the grace of God, my teenager had left a literal sip of water in a bottle tucked into the side pouch of her backpack. It wasn't ideal, but baby sips were getting the job done. A few minutes later, the hostess/server came outside after me and genuinely looked concerned, asking if I was okay. So much for being discreet. I'm standing there all mortified like, "I'm good! Promise! Thank you so much for checking on me!" I went back to my little corner to wait, and one of the gentlemen working there started giving everyone who was waiting a FREE pack of cookies. Such a sweet little gesture, especially considering how insanely busy they were. Then the hostess/server comes over and hands me a cup of ice water with a straw and says, "I know you said you were okay, but..." I about died. Then the other, younger gentleman looked at me and said, "I'm so sorry for the wait. It's coming next!" And honestly? That's service. The WHOLE staff was busting their asses -- taking care of the people waiting inside, keeping everything moving, AND literally running food out to cars in the drive-thru. My food was HOT, fresh, and sooooo worth the wait. But more than the food, I was impressed by how attentive everyone was despite being completely slammed. They didn't make anyone feel forgotten, and they somehow still had time to notice when a random customer was outside choking on air. I've honestly never had that kind of service while waiting for food. For those 15-20 minutes, I felt like royalty. Orient Express, y'all were BUSY, but you were kind, attentive, and working your tails off. Thank you for taking care of me -- and for the emergency hydration. 10/10 experience. The food was delicious, but the people made it.

Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and homemade. The sizzling hot plate arrived steaming and packed with tender meat, while the lo mein and fried rice were perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The crab rangoon and dumplings made great starters, and every meal came with spring rolls as well. The portions are huge for the price, making it an incredible value. Beyond the food, the owner is incredibly kind and welcoming, and the restaurant itself is spotless with a comfortable atmosphere that's perfect for lunch or dinner. If you're in a hurry, they even have a convenient drive-thru. Orient Express is a local mom-and-pop business that deserves the support. They also have a location in Georgetown. We'll definitely be back!

All the food was fresh, and super tasty. I kept telling them to open a restaurant in Shelbyville so we could visit more. They said they only have one more location in Georgetown. Will definitely be making the trip back!!

Thai Smile was busy on the Friday night we visited. We were seated and given one menu to share…read moreamong us. We ordered crab Rangoon and egg rolls as starters. The egg rolls had great flavor and were served with a delicious duck sauce. We both enjoyed them. The crab Rangoons did not have much crab in them and had a strong cream cheese flavor. For our entrees my husband had the Bangkok combo with beef chicken and shrimp in garlic sauce, served with fried rice. I tried a bite and his was delicious. I had ordered the vegetable delight with shrimp in a "light sauce" which was very brothy and did not have much flavor. The fried rice was just that. No egg or vegetable in the mix, but it was good. I have visited other Thai restaurants and perhaps I might have enjoyed something else on the menu more than what I ordered this time. I will say that service was friendly, our food came out in a timely manner, and our water glasses were kept filled. If you are in the area and you enjoy Thai food, you might want to give Thai Smile a try.

I will never come back to this place…read more Let me start by saying I used to love this restaurant. It was one of our favorite. But now, it's on our list to never eat here again. It started with me placing an online order. This is new on their website while I was looking at the menu. I figured this would be best than calling the restaurant. How I was so wrong. I placed it with a 30 minute window. Ordered at 4:44 to be pick up at 5:14pm. I showed up to the restaurant at 5:03pm. There was about 4 other people at the counter. One person just placed their order, another person said her mom called to place the order but wasn't sure when it would be ready. They told everyone 20 min. I showed my ordered and they were going to be me 20 minute. I said I placed my order 20 minutes ago. Ok so I waited... Another lady came in and said that she placed her order around the same time online. Her order number was 140 and she had a long receipt with quite a lot of items. My order was 148, somehow. By the time I asked what's going on with my order at 5:15, they said they go by the order number and they're on 138. I don't think they processed my order until I arrived at 5:03pm. It took until 5:39pm before I receive the order in my hand. I only had very few items, one of which was an order for combination lo mein, plain mantou, shrimp tofu and wonton noodle soup. Mind blowing because I paid $50. The online system also charge a $1 fee, which I did not know about until I saw the receipt. Which would had been fine if my order was done in the time it was promised. Now, the staff was not the most friendly either... the person that handed me the bag almost dropped it because she put it in my hand, didn't say a word and turned and walked away. They cannot be any more rude than that. I was sweating profusely and shaking while waiting for a very long time while I am pregnant and nauseous. Now here's the review for the food. It was not good. We have had some on and off with their food and we haven't been back for a while so I wanted to give them another chance. But their lo mein was soo salty, and they used pad thai noodles. The wonton noodle soup was small container, so bland, literally no flavors, and the wonton tasted so bad. They put really hot tofu that was deep fried in styrofoam container that it put a hole through the container. So my paper bag was soaked and wet within the 6 minutes drive home. The mantou was so tiny for $4.5. Not worth it. All in all, the 4 items that I ordered did not worth the $50 for almost an hour wait, not worth my time or money. I wouldn't have eaten the food if I didn't already paid. Had I not already paid online, I would just had left.
