This place used to be really good, but today it sucked. I haven't been in awhile and wish I didn't go today. Egg drop soup taste like salty dish water, my daughters noodles with brown sauce made her sit in Home Depots bathroom for about 45 minutes with diarrhea and my mom felt nauseous the rest of the day. Thanks Thai express next I'm liking for a good bowel cleansing we will come back other wise never again. read more

Came in around 3:30 and it was completely dead inside so there were plenty of spots to choose from. I ordered a small Tom Yum soup with chicken and an order of Thai spring rolls. My order came out quickly and piping hot which I absolutely love! The soup was a little more sour and spicy than other Tom Yum soups I've ordered, but it was still delicious and I savored every spoonful. The spring rolls were fried and went well with Sriracha. I would like to come back to try other items on their menu in the future. read more

Love this place but have to drop a star. Went yesterday and they ran out of the thin noodles I like..I don't prefer the others. I was really craving the food too so I opted to get regular noodles..kind of disappointing. I would have felt better with a discount for inconvenience but, probably shouldn't have ordered at all. Also , last time I went I asked if they had shrimp chips...they do but they charged me $4 for a bowl...that's a bit much. I could understand 2 but 4..no way! Should have asked. Ugh! read more

I love the potato curry, it's delicious and fresh. We always stop here for Thai, they're quick with your order.

I see the not so good reviews on here, but I have to say my take out was great. Since I got takeout I can't speak too much about the service, but the food was great. I got tofu pad thai, pad see ew, and chicken and cashews. Everything was super delish especially the pad see ew. This place made it with skinny noodles, I've only ever seen it with wide noodles so that was a little different but very tasty. It's definitely not a high class joint, it's an order at the window type of place, but I'd definitely be interested in eating in and seeing if the food is even better right off the stove top! read more

Called in for a carryout order--was greeted with just a "Hello." I wasn't even sure I had dialed correctly! It was a very short, almost rude interaction--I guess I'm used to some prompts like "What type of meat? How spicy?" I had to offer those details on my own once there was some awkward silence. So my pad see ew came with thin noodles--I should have looked at a menu before I order because I have never had it come with thin pad-thai like noodles, I was pretty disappointed. It tasted pretty okay but as the next day's lunch (which really, Thai food is some of the best leftovers ever)... it was not good at all. The dark sauce became kind of clumpy too once reheated. I can see myself giving Thai Express another chance in the future, but it's not at the top of my list anytime soon. They're also only open from 4-8pm on Saturday... whaaa? read more

Gross!! doesn't deserve 1 star!! Everything's soupy!! waste of damn money! I just hope I don't get sick from tasting it before throwing two whole boxes of food in the TRASH!! read more

I've gotten food poisoning here three times, and I still keep coming back. Love the curry noodles. read more

Mediocre Thai food at best. Didn't have enough traditional Thai flavors I've been used to eating. Food: Chicken Fried rice - flavor was lacking that Thai taste and was a bit oily Chicken and broccoli with brown sauce - was tasty, but again, didn't have that Thai flavor I'm used to... Perhaps missing some or too little Thai type of soy sauce (thai soy sauces taste a bit different from regular type such as kikkoman). Hot and sour soup - nothing special. Same as any I've gotten at Chinese restaurants Service: Though this is mainly a takeout place, with only enough space for 2 tables, we ended up eating at there. Service was fine and did bare minimum, but I don't hold this against them as this is mainly a takeout place. read more

Yummy! Called ahead and order was ready in 5 minutes. Got the lunch potato curry with tofu (and white rice) for $8. Good deal and good flavor! :) read more

Thai Express - Potato curry with Tofu. $8. YUM! - Thai Near Me - Brighton, Michigan

This restaurant seemed to be very good until I ordered my food and received something I was not expecting. I ordered a vegetarian dish and specifically asked for lo mein. When the food came we received this thick noodle, almost the size of lasagna. I asked for lo mein and she told me that only comes with certain dishes. I wish I would've known before paying, my order was not going to be what I asked for. Would not recommend read more

Thai Express - Bancok - Thai Near Me - Brighton, Michigan

See all

Food is good- a little more peppery than Thai I've had in the past but this is not necessarily a bad thing. They technically have a few tables inside but most people get takeout. During peak hours the wait times can be very long- wish they would expand but maybe they are happy with the way it is? Staff have always been friendly and courteous, even when it's obvious they are extremely busy. Generous portion sizes. Recommend for takeout and asking upfront how long it will take. read more

This is the best Thai food in Brighton! I so disagree with Steve's review. I've never had a bad meal here. Everythiong I've tried on the menu is fantastic. They spice it well here too. I usually have to order it Medium plus at most other places, but here it is Medium and well done. Just right! Try the Pad Ped, excellent! Pad Almond - Awesome! All the noodle dishes are fantastic. Come on, spice up your life and enjoy some great Thai food in Brighton, MI read more

They have great thai food...its priced just right and you can't beat it...wonderful small place. Limited seating (14 people) but for a wonderful take out thai place, this is the one!!! read more

Food is always very good!! We have been coming here for years and appreciate the high quality and reasonably priced meals. Carry out only.

I've been going to this Thai food establishement for well over 10 years now. The #36 (medium hot) every time. I can't even branch out and try new dishes here. I get the same thing every time. As for dining in, you can sit yourself at one of the 4 tables if they're not already taken. Otherwise, carry-out is really your best option. Grab a menu, plop down in one of the vinyl chairs, watch as the Thai chef whips it up before your eyes and before you know it, your eating some of the best Pad Thai you have ever had by the dumpster in back or, back at the office, or home. The dumpster is only my personal preference given the other two alternatives. Enjoy! read more

So delicious, and although not the cheapest when ordering, you can get 2-3 meals out of one order. Super nice lady who's always there.

Great food; I'm not able to have spice to the level I used to, and with the excellent flavors in the Pad Thai, I didn't miss it. We also tried Kow Pad for the first time, and my son, who had never had Thai before, enjoyed every bite. We will definitely be back. read more

I've had their pad Thai, drunken noodles, and red curry. They were all good but the red curry is amazing. I get it medium and that's plenty of spice. I can't ever order anything else off their menu now. Their take out is enough for two meals if not three. I was in there before and people had no issue ordering knowing that they would be waiting an hour because the takeout orders were so many. Great people and great food. read more

So disappointed, walked in and immediately the chef turns around and gives me an evil eye stare and a growl. Surprised but i still managed to order Pad Thai, when it came I dove in expecting a culinary sensation, wrong it smelled and tasted like dog food. I almost barfed right there at the table. Years ago this place was the best thai around. Not anymore. Go elsewhere! read more

Truly the best Curry Noodle I've had in a very long time! My boyfriend's Pad Thai was so so, but I'd be willing to give it another try... Looking forward to trying more noodle dishes and one of their fried rice dishes next time! Well done, Thai Express! read more

I ordered mild vegetable pad Thai carry out, which was pretty good. The vegetables were plentiful and fresh. Portions were generous, but I thought it tasted a little too lemony-maybe because there wasn't enough spice to balance it out. I might try medium spice next time. All in all a nice carry out place with a large menu. read more

Great little Thai place. I recommend the vegetable curry fried rice!

Bad... Really bad. If other reviews compare this to authentic Thai food they have no idea what they are taking about and must enjoy the taste of plain noodles with oil. I wanted to like it and tried simple standard options in pad thai and drunken noodle. Pad Thai was 2lbs of plain noodle, no chicken, egg, bean sprouts etc. Drunken noodle was defiantly cooked in the same batch as the pad thai no difference. A coconut soup was sour.. Painfully so and was all onion. The building looks sad and rusted and the food does as well. Major disappointment, better or even decent options are available elsewhere. read more

I like this place! I have been going there regularly for a few months now. The owners are very friendly and the food is always made fresh when you order. I usually get the Pad Thai, Pad Khing, Drunken Fried rice, and potstickers (dumplings). Note: Their "Hot" is the hottest spiciness I've had anywhere, so if you're not used to eating raw ghost chiles, you should stick with the "medium". There is a huge step in heat from med to hot.I ordered the hot on two different occasions, and I had a stomach ache and hiccups from the heat. *Update* Their food is good in general, but their chicken is not very good at all. It's rubbery and absolutely bland. Boiled perhaps? read more

Consistently good Thai food. The seating area is small and 'no frills' so we order take-out.

Great pad Thai and peanut curry rice noodles. Med heat was right on. Service was great. We did take out, dining room needs some repairs

Only about 4 seats indoor seats, mainly just take out. Had the pad Thai, both tofu and chicken, both were good but they're a little light on the sauce. I ordered a side of peanut sauce and the size was a little small but very good. I asked for the chicken Pad Thai extra spicy and they definitely delivered the heat. Over I wasn't blown away but it was solid and I would go back. read more

Stopped in for a carryout Tom Yum soup. The broth and vegetables were pretty good, the chicken was sparse and had a rather gamey taste. Costs seemed a little high at $8 for soup. If I go there again, I will try the Tom Yum soup with shrimp instead of chicken. read more

Very delicious and quick. Limited seating. Daughter had Pad Thai, I had curry and we loved it. Big portions too.

this is the best thai food in the whole world! it had always been good, but for the past couple of years the ingredients have been extra fresh and the crab rangoons are amazing!! the portions are huge and one order can easily be split into two large meals. owned and operated by the nicest people! highly recommend!! read more

Started going here a few months ago. Always friendly, and really work hard to flavor to your taste. Fresh ingredients, fair price, friendly service. A winner in my book. read more

Thai Express is my hometown Thai restaurant (I've been dining there for over a decade) and I still think they have some of the best Pad Thai around. Fast service. Reasonably priced, especially considering the large portion sizes. Consistently good food. Salivating just thinking about it! read more

We ended up here after finding out the hard way that the Thai Cafe in Howell was closed until November 4th. Arrived only 25 minutes before closing with a party of 7, and the service was courteous and fast, and the food was quite excellent. We love Thai and have eaten it at every possible place in the Lansing area, and many in the the Detroit area. I had Pad Thai Beef Med-Hot and found it delightful, others in the group loved their meals also, including fried rice dishes, curry dishes etc. We are so happy to find that this place is a dependable source for good, comforting Thai food, convenient to the freeway. read more

I go to Thai restaurants everywhere I go. I've even spent a few weeks in Thailand and I think this is one of the better places for Thai food. This place doesn't look like much but the food is very good. Their peanut curry is hands down the best peanut curry I have ever had. The egg drop soup and crab Rangoon are really good too. I eat here all the time. I do not understand the bad reviews. To give this place one star is just flat out unfair and bitchy. read more

I find the food decent and haven't had an issue with either take out or dine in. However, there are times where you can call and call and no one picks up. Hours shown on menu are not accurate at times and I wonder if they close whenever they want read more

Really yummy and fast. The price is reasonable and food is good. This is my husband and kid's favorite place for take out. We get hot red gang curry. read more

I'm convinced the 1 star reviews are written by other loyal diners who are tired of take-out taking 45 minutes. This place is fantastic and consistent. Best drunken noodles I've ever had. Worth the 45+ minute wait. read more

Pad Thai was inedible. Crab Rangoon was not good.Place was not clean.

Lot of great food for the price. Great quiet environment. I can always find something new and good to try 10/10 would visit again. The sweet iced coffee is to die for. read more
