Stop by here before our hike. The food was decent but for the price, the portion was a little small. We came in around lunchtime, it got a little busy and their place is quite small. So you order in the register and they'll bring your food in. You'll be in and out quite fast. read more

Excellent Thai food! Worked around my food allergies! Will return every time in Placerville

No complaints when it comes to this small Thai restaurant in a town where one would not to expect to find one. After a long day running around Placerville and various other nearby cities, I was starving and an Asian meal sounded like it would hit the spot. I made the mistake of showing up at Thai Noodle Express only to find the very few tables taken, so it turned into a to go order. The staff was very accommodating especially since they could not seat us at the restaurant. They went over some of the local favorites, which really came down to their Pad Thai and various curry dishes. We ended up of course going with their suggestion, grabbing a chicken curry and pad Thai dish. Since we had to opt for the to go option, we had plenty of time to peruse around downtown Placerville, which easily soaked up the time we needed to before our food was ready. When it comes to the amount of food they give you, I'd drop an easy 5/10 on them, as the serving size still left me hungry afterwards. Flavor wise, it definitely hit the spot on both dishes, so no complaints in that department. Overall Thai Noodle Express hit the spot, but I do not know if it is the supreme Thai restaurant that one may come to expect if coming from other cities with much more fierce competition in the Thai restaurant scene. Either way, if you need your Thai food craving met, Thai Noodle Express will do. read more

Love this little corner restaurant! Seating limited, plenty on the menu to choose from, and can run a little slow when it's crowded. In addition to the huge fresh vegetable roll for my friend, and my Pad Gai which was awesome: The young lady at the counter is the epitome of customer service and perhaps "do unto others". She says THE nicest things to customers, like "I really hope that you enjoy yourself while you are here" and many thank-you's and just so sweet and friendly. And she got the beverages out fast and was super polite with every encounter. She asked the customers ahead of me for a name to call out (when their takeout order was ready). I did not get the connection, so when she took my dine-in order, I asked if she wanted my name. She explained that she did not need it for dine-in, but she would gladly take it "because it's nice to know people's names". Can't beat that these days! read more

The curry was delicious. Reasonably priced. When I called to order I had a few questions about the menu. The person who answered the phone was courteous and attentive. I waited about 10 minutes to receive my order. The staff were helpful and very kind. read more

Everything I've had here has been excellent! The Drunken Noodles, Gyoza, and Khao Soi are so good!

Stopped in Placerville for lunch on the way home from Tahoe. Did not expect such good Thai food in a small town. We ordered Tom Kha, Pad Thai, and Panang Curry. Everything tasted great. The prices were fair. Bathroom was extremely clean. Definitely keeping this place in mind next time we are in the area. read more

Great food we got walnut shrimp and orange chicken. Best Chinese food on Main Street. Looks very clean as well inside

I just ordered from here I love thai food. I ordered shrimp spring rolls and spicy ramen and honestly it wasn't even edible. For some reason everything smelt like fish in a bad way and i think the shrimp was raw, you dont eat raw shrimp. Immediately in the trash, what a waste of $30. read more

Thai Noodle Express - there was ramen broth but i already dumped it out - Thai Near Me - Placerville, California

Seemed like a family run business. It was very clean, the service was great, and the food knocked my socks off. I got the drunken noodles and asked for it 'Thai spicy' and they did it just right. The guy that took our order had a great personality and had a sense of humor. Had I been out there another night, I would have made it back to TNE without doubt. read more

Thai Noodle Express - a plate of food - Thai Near Me - Placerville, California

Always had good service here for take out. Decent Thai food. Usually get the pad Thai.

I understand the restaurant is short staffed but i waited over an hour to get my order which was only one item. They were really rude when I asked how much longer I had to wait to get my order. The restaurant was also very hot which made the wait feel even longer. I wasn't expecting anything but an apology for the long wait would have been appreciated. I had never had a problem with them before so I am very disappointed about the service I received. read more

First time here and the food was awesome. I will definitely be coming regularly. The staff was also very nice and friendly.

My veggie pad Thai was soooooo yummy and the carton was stuffed full even though the staff were clearly very busy and dealing with tough customers. Thank you!! read more

Wonderful to make it here again. Had a craving for pho and they added veggies to it so my wife loved it. I really like the tonkotsu ramen. It's the first time in awhile that I've drank all the soup to the bottom of the bowl. Fried egg rolls were deliciously crispy. Thai boba milk tea was just right. Staff is friendly and efficient. Very nice ambiance with cool background music playing. Always highly recommended! read more

Had the Pad Thai and it was a rare perfect balance of sweet and savory. Also had the Chicken fried rice added some Basil to give it a more thai flavor, also good. I was actually impressed by the food it's so rare to have great tasting quality food. Located on a great street lined with local and boutique shops, in placerville, you can stroll before or after eating. read more

Excellent food and service. Also fun to sit and people watch at the window seating. Best staff ever

This place is wonderful ! The service is excellent and the food is amazing ! We were passing by town and were looking out for a vegetarian meal. Their pad Thai and yellow curry sauce was very flavorful with tofu . We also had the Thai bubble tea with coconut milk . It was great. Loved It. Definitely a must try read more

Thai Noodle Express - Yellow Coconut curry with tofu and rice - Thai Near Me - Placerville, California

Very fresh food, we loved the healthier options for lunch, they can customize any order so we took advantage. The dining room is a bit small but it was adequate for our family of five, if you don't have a place to sit, they offer a to go option. Bathrooms and dining area was clean and the staff were friendly. The egg rolls were the kids favorite and we enjoyed the noodle dishes. read more

I'm glad I found this place! My curry was yummy! The service was awesome as well. The super friendly gentleman at the cash register is a great addition. He greeted everyone that walked in with a very welcoming smile. He seemed to know pretty much everyone that walked in. That's one of reason if come back here if or when I'm in the area. Definitely would recommend to friends and family to stop by on their to and from Tahoe. read more

Thai Noodle Express - Yellow chicken curry - Thai Near Me - Placerville, California

I love this place! I'm new to the area and I was really excited when I found this place. I moved from koreatown Los Angeles where I had all the best Asian cuisines, so I started to get pretty homesick for the food a few months in - until I found this place. I love their Tom yum, and I also love that this place covers a slightly larger scope than just Thai cuisine. They essentially cover everything I love all on their own (with Japanese, Vietnamese, and Korean dishes on top of their classical Thai)! I'm also giving this place 5 starts because the hostess Tessa, is probably the kindest human being I have ever met in my whole life. I hope I have the pleasure of being served by her again. read more

Not the best but also not the worst. We have had better ramen. The broth was watered down a bit and the chicken was dry. Not sure about my bf's pork. The edamame was good and the calamari was disgusting. It was inedible. Tough and rubbery. Didn't eat it. So it's ok bc it's right down town but idk that we would be back. read more

I love Thai food and this place is amazing! Had the Yellow Curry that was so delicious, I took my husband there the next evening since he dug into mine that I bought home. He loved out as well. We are ready to go back again! read more

We have been ordering take-out from Thai Noodle Express for many years now, even going back to the previous location. The food is extremely consistent. Our favorite is the #23 Chicken Pad Prik Khing, and my wife and I often just get two orders of this plus an order of the crispy egg rolls. It's a perfect, reliable dinner for two. The service is always friendly and efficient, and the staff seems happy to work there. The owner must treat them well. The online ordering system works well with a good estimate of when the food will ready for pickup, and this makes getting take-out that much more convenient. This restaurant is a real gem of Placerville. Highly recommended! read more

Love this place. So good. Menu is small, place is small but flavors pack a punch. Worth the drive.

Love the food! The service was so fast and polite. Love love LOVE the spicy Thai noodles. The overalll vibe was modern Thai restaurant. 100% recommended read more

Really good food! We eat here a lot! Safe and clean. They don't deliver. The thai spicy soup and fresh spring rolls are awesome. So is the pumpkin curry and massaman. Chicken pho is good too!! read more

Food was yummy and service was great. I told the counter girl i wanted a lot of veggies. Her suggestion, Drunkin Noodle.

My very first time eating here was just last week. I ordered the eggplant dish, with tofu instead of chicken. Full of flavor! This dish tastes very authentic. The taste was complex and satisfying. Friendly customer service and a short wait time for take out! read more

Every time I have placed a togo order here it has been messed up. I would say about 6 times in the past two years. Iv order mango sticky rice and I only got rice. Iv ordered shrimp spring rolls and the shrimp was not cooked, gray and slimy . I have gotten orders that are something entirely different from what I asked for. After not going for quite some time because of this, I kinda forgot and let go... I decided to order beef pho last night and when I got home it was chicken, I should have looked before but Just didn't think about it . Anyhow, been trying to call last night and today and it's impossible to get thru to resolve . I don't post negative reviews easily but after the amount of mess ups and let downs and not being able to reach the business here it is. read more

So we stopped and ate here because we did not want to go to a sit down restaurant. There were a couple orders before us and we waited about 10 minutes for our to-go food. I had the Drunken Noodles and my son and his gf had the Pad Thai. Mine was pretty darn good! The noodles were not overly cooked even after sitting in the container for a bit, and the flavor was there! Also, the broccoli (not usually in this dish, but it was good) was not mushy, but crisp and fresh. Delish! And then there is the Pad Thai... I don't usually order it because I don't like the sweetness of the dish among other things, but I always taste it just in case. Well this was the best Pad Thai I have ever tasted. The prices are a little bit high, but expected for Main Street. I will eat here again. read more

DO NOT order here if you don't have an hour to wait for your food, Thai Unique is better quality, close by, and way better customer service. Once we arrived to pick up the front end girl was extremely rude and then proceeded to do everything but my order. We came in on a lunch, and when we wanted to cancel the order because we couldn't wait anymore. At this point the order was placed 40minutes ago and I was met with more attitude, it's not their fault they don't set the pick up times, understood but you could communicate with the customer and/or your food order system that you can't keep up. Girl with glasses just fueled my coworkers anger, she handled it it with more attitude and talking over her instead of trying to solve anything noodle express just yelled louder. Everyone including myself was embarrassed and uncomfortable of the whole situation, except the people who work here. Beyond unprofessional and rude. read more

We have been talking about going here for a long time and finally went for my birthday. I'm not a complainer typically- but I felt I needed to share our experience. First off, it is a very small establishment. It seemed very chaotic when we walked in - in the kitchen. It didn't seem very busy. We ordered our food at the counter (no wait service at tables) and everything came out 10 minutes apart - our appetizer last. Our food was cold and the spring rolls weren't even cut in half. Horrible service and you could tell everyone dining in were very frustrated. I'm glad I tried it out - but as locals, we will never return. I hope it gets better for everyone else. read more

When they first opened it was amazing. Now, not so much. Sorry, but Pad Thai needs bean Sprouts and peanuts. Prices have gone up, and the quality has gone down. Thai Unique has gotten better. read more

Love this place. Always super friendly, accommodating, acknowledging. Bomb dot com food! Recommend. read more

Oh my God the food is amazing five stars all the way bravo guys tasty of stuff I've eaten in a long time I lived all over the United States and this is one of the places that takes the cake for all sorts of classic dishes! I mean literally everything is delicious read more

Food still five stars. Young guy working the front much friendlier! Old review : The food is five star but the customer service is awful. Not friendly, do not accept any change requests to dishes, and very short with customers. Picked up food from here several times, tip 20% every time, customer service has never gotten better read more

Great food, great service. Their Thai Teas w/ boba are the most popular menu on the item, for good reason. Only complaint is that food can take quite a while to be brought out. read more

I've never even written a yelp review before but I have to because this place is literally where it's at if you want GOOD FRESH Thai food. In my opinion the Drunken Noodle is the best, full of veggies and thick-ass noodles with perfect sweet sauce and Thai basil. Crispy egg rolls are fresh and truly crunchy not soggy at all. The soups are all bomb, you can tell they put a lot of effort into making some quality nourishing broth. If you're sick or hungover, the chicken pho will have you feeling better in no time (with lots of sriracha). I had to write a review because I eat here all the time and I'm in love with the quality of this place. The staff here are super chill and friendly. Keep up the good work! read more
