Off the beaten track hidden behind the Walgreens, this Thai joint is well lit with spacious booths. Yellow curry was soupier than I'm used to having. Crispy orange chicken was good. read more

Mikey S. is spot on, and I couldn't have said it better on the quality of the food. I refer you to his excellent review on that score, and I wish I had asked for my money back as he had. I will make a few passing remarks. I had the Mongolian beef, and it was totally generic. I ordered level 4 spicy, and it wasn't even a 2 in my book. My date had Pad Thai chicken and it was just a bunch of noodles with no flavor and very little chicken or peanut sauce. The spring rolls were filled with iceberg lettuce, a little mint leaf, and maybe a stray julienne carrot or two; again, completely generic. The peanut sauce was very tasty, but the quantity was skimpy. Worst of all, we went on Valentine's Day, and it was freaking freezing in the restaurant! They were too cheap to put the heat on; absolutely bone-shivering cold, but guess what? Customers were coming in fairly frequently the whole time my partner and I sat there, rather stunned. Is it because the food is so non-daring and relatively quick that people patronize this rather dumpy hole-in-the-strip-mall? I'll let you figure THAT out, but you can get much better Thai food at Angel's downtown which is just about a mile or so away. It might take a little longer, but it is no contest on flavor, spiciness, and comfort, and it's only a couple of dollars more. It's worth paying that just so your food doesn't get cold in two minutes due to no heat in this joint. read more

I tried this place twice, both times were just short of basic taste requirements. The major shortcoming was the ingredients and lack there of. I expect more than iceberg and rice noodles for a spring roll. They seem like nice people, sorry to have to leave only two stars. read more

Honestly amazing take out. Nice people and really good food. I have tried many things on the menu, the mango curry is my absolute favorite.

Excellent food - always fresh! The ginger broccoli is my favorite. There's usually only 2 people working, but they're quick and friendly.

I don't know what's happening with this restaurant but when I first start going there was good and you could taste the real plum sauce in the pad thai. Now it's like it taste like crappy ketchup. Did they sell out when someone got cheap on ingredients I don't know but it needs to stop read more

My favorite little Thai place. The people that work there are not super friendly or hospitable. They almost seem a little annoyed you are there. Once you get past all that, order the peanut noodles...(I wake up at night thinking of these) omg so tasty! Also the Tom Kha soup is amazing. They have decent prices and pretty good portions. I would say if you're in a mood for Thai and don't want want to make friends with staff, GO HERE! read more

This was cheap, fast, and tasty with generous portions! It was an excellent for takeout. I had the Pad Thai and my husband had Pad Khi Mao. Both were delicious! read more

I have never had a bad experience. I truly enjoy all of thier food. Thier boba teas and Thai teas are tasty too. The only draw back is that they make all of thier food in the same wok so this place is not friendly for those with nut allergies and since my boyfriend is severely allergic I avoid this place unless I know I won't be seeing him that day read more

My second time here ! Wonderful Pineapple shrimp Curry with Brown rice. I love my food spicy server suggested heat level 4 so of course I did 5. Which was perfect for my taste. Will keep coming back. read more

Crispy orange chicken was very tasty and filling for $8.99. I half expected to pay for rice separately, but nope! Included. Place gets pretty busy in the evening, due to awesome prices, I'm sure. Will return to try other yummy menu items. read more

My $0.02 is this is the best Thai in Olympia, especially their stir-frys (not a huge fan of all the curries). I eat here regularly and they are always prompt, affordable, and polite. read more

I always have amazing service when I order take out. The one time we ate in restaurant they were very backed up however, it was extremely busy...I think the words out that this place rocks. Delicious and so happy they have so many vegetarian options. read more

Good food and cooked to order. Must be a family place as the same gal cooks all the time. Place is very clean and is great for take out or eating in. read more

Tasty Thai, nice selection, reasonably priced, friendly and good location. Good level of spiciness. Try Taro Bubble tea, yum!

YUM!!!! Went here today to order takeout. I got the Peanut noodles & my bf got the Pad Thai. We also got an order of their delicious egg rolls. I love peanut sauce & my noodles were so good! I tried the Pad Thai & it was also delicious. The egg rolls were so good! I wish we would've ordered 2 orders instead of 1! We only had to wait around 10 minutes on a busy Friday. We'll DEFINITELY be going back! read more

I have to say the Pad Thai chicken here is the best I have had and The Tum Yum Gai and Tom Yum Kha are delicious. Everyone I have brought here for lunch has liked it. The only thing now why I'm giving it a three is it seems like there may be an over dosage of MSG in the food and the wait is long sometimes and because this restaurant has a lot of potential figuring its right next to Starbucks and in a great location yet its not using it to the fullest extent that it could. It would be nice if this restaurant did like a lunch buffet with like 8-10 of the most popular dishes to choose from. Especially figuring the name says Pad Thai Express which would also make it very popular as it would be the only Thai restaurant in town with a lunch style buffet. Also putting in smaller tables for more customers to sit inside the restaurant would be great idea as the booths in there are way too oversizeed for the space. Adding some small bistro two seater tables would probably do the job better as most of the time I see no more than 2-4 people sitting on the same table at any given time so having 6-8 people boothing seats really does not do any good except take up too much space. Doing a Lunch buffet with prepped food for lunch would bring in lots of customers in this place and I have seen other Thai restaurants on the East Coast do such lunch buffets which are a huge success during lunch hours so no one has to wait for any long period of time. read more

Super good food. I get the prick khing (green bean, peppers, chicken in a red curry sauce). Never disappointed. Great for takeout.

They are very self entitled & extremely rude to customers as well as any employees that come to pick up food for companies such as Uber eats or door dash. The look of the way they treat you just the look on their face like trash I would recommend nobody else giving these people money and visiting this restaurant. Aside from the many complaints about the food being under cooked. read more

Came in to order takeout and it took nearly an HOUR for them to prepare simple fried rice and satay. It was busy, which is a good sign for a place. However, many other customers were getting frustrated at how long their orders were taking. The food is decent, but not worth the wait. read more

The most bland Pad Thai I've ever had. The service was very slow (it was lunch time) but my 1 order took 30 minutes and other people who ordered after me got their food first. The lady running the register/wok was not friendly either. Save your money and go anywhere else. read more

I would eat here every meal if possible! Prikking is amazing, ingredients fresh, always great. Atmosphere is meh, but totally with it!

I love them! This is my favorite place to get dinner. I go pretty frequently and its always been great. I usually get the pad see ew. It is delicious! read more

We frequently order take-out from here and it has generally been excellent. We have had a couple of orders in the past year where the sauces was very thick (almost like paste) by the time we get home. The Kee Mao Noodles are excellent -- we order chicken or pork with 3-star spice and it remains our go-to order. Pricing is reasonable for the large portions ($8.99 for Kee Mao Noodles). We occasionally eat at the restaurant but the seating and decor is very basic -- it could be improved to seat more people in more comfort. Service for us has always been completely acceptable. read more

I love the Thai Fried Rice, Massaman Curry, and Taro bubble tea. The fried rice is the best Asian fried rice I've ever had, anywhere. The tomato gets nice and cooked, and they put in a dark seasoning that is just ... oh so good. I usually get it to go and they're very fast. Love this place! read more

The only place I will order Thai Fried Rice from now. It's killer. Be careful with how many "stars" you ask for on the spice scale, they tend to make it a little more spicy than most places. read more

I've eaten here a couple times. Had the Cashew Nut Chicken, and Panang Curry. The Cashew Nut was awesome, the Panang good. Portion sizes here are great... they give you a lot, so you likely will have leftovers. My only issue is with getting a curry dish for lunch carry-out. It comes in what is essentially a soup container (skinny and tall)... with rice in a separate small container. If you need to eat in a car, or are not going somewhere that you have plates... its an issue. I definitely recommend. Oh and I may develop a crush on the young lady working there if I keep going... so adorable. read more

I came here about a year ago when my family just saw the place looking for somewhere to have dinner. The food was okay, it was as expected for Thai food I suppose. Service was average as well. After I got home though I felt really sick, and the day after I realized I had gotten food poisoning from this place. It was miserable. Would not recommend. read more

I didnt see where I could respond to my review below. Not only did they sell me thai food that we picked up and had to come back without any seasoning and told me I could season it myself at home but lied again in their response. They were dishonest in selling something they told is after the second time that they were out of season but got loud and obnoxious in front of customers. Dont believe any of their responses because its completely false. Terrible food and terrible service. I'd they will sell thai food with no seasoning then I wouldn't trust anything in my mouth from there. read more

Best Thai place around! The employees are great! Food is the best and the service is ALWAYS quick.

I am very picky when it comes to pad thai. Was in the neighborhood and I just happened to stumble upon this place. I figured any place with the name Pad Thai in the name of the business had to at least have good pad thai. Did not disappoint. Food was amazing and quick. Would highly recommend! read more

Employees treated customers, myself included, as if we were a burden. I just walked out.. First and only time I'll be going there.

I frequent this place as it is close to work, but the food is simply "okay". It's the best Thai Food in 98502 (imo), but would not go out of my way to come here. I usually get the Pineapple Chicken Fried Rice, which is a favorite of mine when eating Thai. 8/10 times, it has a very strong "smoke/burnt" taste from the wok. Not sure if it is intentional, but this is the first place I've ever had it where some of the rice bits were actually burnt. Other than that, no complaints. read more

They have good food. I ordered at 12:05 via phone and they said it would be done at 12:20. I waited until 12:35 until I got my food. Had to go up and ask and looked like they just started it. During that time people were coming and going who also had ordered via phone. read more

Now that I've gotten hooked on Pattaya and Narai (both on 4th ave. downtown, right next to each other) its hard to go here... They are still OK. read more

Wow! Still outstanding. The family and I haven't ordered food from this restaurant in a number of months. We have always loved this place but have decided to make this our special place to go too. This weekend was our weekend. What a meal! the Pad Thai and fried rice/pork were excellent. I didn't taste my wife's dish but she seemed not to be complaining but seemed happy. This is our place for Thai food. Take out or dine in...with two kids ages 5 and 6 we normally get take out which is always prepared on time. read more

This place has good thai food. My husband and I come here on a pretty regular basis because it's close to home, but we really enjoy the food. Everything is made to order, which means the food you're served is fresh. Prices are reasonable as well. My favorites are the Orange Chicken, Thai Fried Rice, and Egg rolls. read more

Excellent quality and value. Authentic flavors from serious Thai cooks.

I am not an expert on Thai food, but I enjoyed the Pad See Ew they served (mild spice). The wide rice noodles were fun to eat and the sauce was delicious. Next time I will try the medium spice. The mild was not even the slightest bit spicy. You can get curries, noodle dishes, and rice dishes with your choice of vegetarian ($7.95); chicken, pork, beef, or tofu ($8.95); or prawns ($9.95). They also have an all day combo special for $6.95 that comes with a pot sticker, fried rice, noodle, and your choice of six main items. I will definitely be back to try their combo deal. read more

I loved the fried rice with prawns. I also ordered the crab rangoon and egg rolls. This is the best food I've eaten. I cant imagine anything comparing to this place. They had a ton of customers and only two people working but they were nice and knew how to hustle. They were out of the tempura shrimp and they were supper apologetic, which was unnecessary but i got the egg rolls instead. Normally I don't like them but these are great! They make your food fresh...and its well worth the 15 minute wait. I can't say enough about this place. read more
