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

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

Tip... Go without the boba... the times I've gotten it the boba was chewy and packed with flour in the middle.

So I had the yellow curry portion was not so portioned. Lots of potatoes and little chicken. One thing I dont like is the ingredients not displayed on the menu. read more

Stopped here for lunch, tiny place with seating for about 6 people. We ordered a bowl of the spicy tonkotsu ramen and drunken noodles. The drunken noodles were outstanding, took an order to my sister-in-law's and she devoured them as well. Ramen was tasty as well, but the noodles stole the show. She lives in Placerville, but had not tried this place. She has been there since..lol Would definitely return. read more

This tiny little building in Placerville may not look like much but it's got some of the best tonkatsu ramen (the broth almost tastes like prosciutto). Don't be fooled by the Thai label, their non-Thai dishes are also fantastic. My mother had the spicy Thai noodle soup, and my sister had the pho (we've all been here more than once, and they're consistently delicious). We shared some gyoza as well, which was hot, crispy, and had the absolute best filling. Perfect on a cool day. It's a small place, but absolutely a fun time to sit at the table, and especially fun to sit at the bar facing the window outside and just people watch. Their Thai tea is also good, service is excellent and timing is great. read more

Don't blink if you're looking for this restaurant on Main Street. It is tiny but delicious! Eaten here many times, and I have never been unimpressed. Don't bring a big group. There are like 6 chairs here. Bring a big appetite and a discerning palate though, because everything is authentically thai and freshly made to order! read more

Came across this Thai restaurant while exploring Placerville. It may not seem like much from the outside but I love Pad Thai so I had to give this place a try. Let me tell you the Pad Thai from here was the best that I have had in a really long while and I'm from SolCal where there is a numerous amount of Thai restaurants so that says something. The staff was super friendly and super clean restaurantThe girl who took our order (I believe her name was Taylor) was amazing! I will most definitely come here every time I visit Placerville! read more

My fiance and I stopped in here last week, while driving past Placerville. The establishment is decorated so beautifully. The staff is super friendly and helpful! They're also vegan friendly and accommodating! We were both happy with our meals! I ordered a plate to-go for the kids and they loved it. It's the newest and second Vietnamese restaurant in "Hangtown". (I read the history behind that name. Yikes on that one, btw. I hope they do well.) read more

Really good food with a good price point. The staff is super friendly! Food is always piping hot! Will continue to frequent regularly. If you are in town or passing by... make the stop. read more

I don't recommend to anyone! Took much longer than was told and there was no one in the restaurant . but more disappointing was the spring rolls were nothing like they should be. They were very over priced. They fell apart and weren't made with the right ingredients and the sauce wasn't peanut sauce after all. No authenticity whatsoever. The kid making them had zero sense of service and was chatting with the co worker the whole Time. I have NEVER thrown a spring roll away. Horrible. One of the most basic items on the menu. There's a reason the place was empty. Waste of money. read more

Excellently prepared dishes! Fast service. Get orders in to avoid delay due to customer demand. Only downside is the very small seating area. read more

Really yummy food but a bit on the pricey side. Pricing aside it's pretty good food when your craving some Thai, even the kids love the food. Would recommend coming here in your in the mood for Thai. But keep in mind the inside of the restaurant is very tiny so they could not handle big groups. This is more of a to go type place. read more

This is an exceptional thai food establishment! The food was delicious (gyoza, spicy pork ramen, and red pumpkin curry) - perfectly seasoned, served piping hot, and large portions. The service was equally excellent - Roger, Pablo and Connor are very friendly, helpful, and fun to chat with. The musical selections complimented the food perfectly and the singing was lovely read more

Literally took an hour for me to get a bowl of Ramen. I went to the counter to ask for my money back and saw a bowl of Ramen sitting in the kitchen. I asked, "hey, is that my ramen?" "No, it's for someone else" "okay, can I just get my money back then?" "Actually yours is almost done!" And I don't know if they thought I couldn't see them or if they just didn't care, but I watched someone take the pork off of that bowl and replace it with chicken and then I was handed that very bowl. The broth was lukewarm and the chicken was nearly frozen in the middle. Extremely disappointed and will never be going back. At least the gyoza was decent! read more

I left a review for Thai Noodle Express only 2 days ago. Haven't been able to stop thinking or talking about our meal. So stopped in for lunch to go today. Still standing strong with 5 stars. Today we left with Yellow Curry and Drunk Noodle. Yellow Curry was slightly spiced and slightly sweet, very nice (Did prefer the Massaman Curry from previous visit). Drunk Noodle was extremely flavorful, love the super wide noodle. Broccoli was tasty but not much of it. Happy to have a fast, fresh, flavorful Thai restaurant. Totally my new local favorite! read more

Nice. I finally tried this and got the eggplant dish with shrimp added. Great food, great service.

Disappointed. Flavor, service, portion size. Won't be going back any time soon. The only thing that will make this place survive is its location. read more

Super nice staff. Very clean and comfortable appearance. I love Thai food. Unfortunately the vegan dish I got was so sugary sweet I could not eat it (#23 sans chicken) My mother's pad Thai was "eh". It was mostly just a pile of noodles without veg or toppings. My husband and two son's ramen were quite blah. I was expecting way better food from the reviews. Our order was to-go so that might be it? It really should have been much better regardless. read more

Excellent curries! We had the massaman and yellow curry- both delicious. I have traveled extensively in Thailand and this place is legit. David and the rest of staff offer excellent service. Can't wait to go back! read more

If you like bland unauthentic Thai food, this is the spot for you. This food Is mediocre at best, the Pad Thai has no flavor and two small shrimp. Ramen is trash, I've had better instant ramen. The bread on bahn mi was hard as a rock. Do yourself a favor and drive right around the corner to Thai unique. I cannot believe I spent 80 on this food. Super super disappointed. read more

I am picky when it comes to Thai food. I lived in Sacramento for years, where there were a billion options (and Chada Thai always reigned supreme). I was ecstatic to see a Thai place was opening in Placerville, but I tried to meter my expectations. That was unnecessary. This place is fantastic! I ordered chicken pad see ew, and my wife got chicken pad Thai. Both are full of flavor and avoid the common pitfall of being dry. The restaurant is small, and they still seem to be working out some kinks with communication. Those shortfalls are easy to look past when the food is so amazing. We'll definitely be going back! Already took home a menu to keep on the fridge. read more

Absolutely fabulous Thai and it was a complete surprise. Moved from the Bay Area and thought I wouldn't enjoy authentic Thai much here. I was so wrong - yay! Love their veggie pad thai, spring rolls w tofu, thai iced tea and soups so much will definitely be back for more!! read more

What a pleasant little surprise!! A friend made the recommendation and we fully trust her so we made the stop on our way back from south Tahoe The place is tiny, probably room to seat 9 or 10 at the most. No restrooms either. But who cares. We ordered the gai kra pow (diced chicken with basil), the pad se ew noodles and the #14 Tom yum shrimp ramen for me. Everything was so delicious and flavorful The ramen was the right amount of sour Will definitely add this as our routine stop on the way up or back down from Tahoe! read more

Wow! Who knew??? This was better than the pho we had in Japan town in SF, the pineapple rice was just spicy enough and absolutely superb. If you are a Thai food lover you must try Thai noodle express. read more

The portion is extremely small and noodle is Top Ramen and they charge like 13 dollars for a bowl of noodle , not worth it at all, pretty terrible read more

I moved from the Bay Area to Shingle Springs and I am so happy to find an authentic and amazing Thai restaurant that delivers! Fantastic fresh and flavorful food! And it's consistent, which I appreciate very much. Ordered the eggplant and tasted like eggplant! Pad Thai, fresh, noodles not soggy. The highlight for me was the Avocado Curry. I am not a fan of curries, but I can tell I am now a fan of avocado curry a la Thai Noodle Express. Really packed with flavors. Customer Service is super nice and helpful. Thank you! Will be back :) read more

We've been here a handful times and consistently feel, "eh" after eating. My husband likes to order chicken pad thai and reports low flavor. I prefer to order curries and also feel the flavor has been ok. Not bad, not great. Just thai food. read more

This place has delicious thai food. Highly recommend a visit on your next trip to Placerville. Had a soup bowl with shrimp and chicken and a bobo drink. Loved it! read more

I have tried the the fresh spring roll, chicken pho soup and Pad Thai. All where very good and fresh.

Delicious Thai food and friendly service. Would recommend eating in as their presentation is beautiful!

I ordered the Geso Karaage (fried squid tentacles). They didn't look all that great and they tasted even worse. The picture you see below was what I couldn't chew. The squid were so dry, so chewy, old and just plain inedible and horrible! Probably the worst I've ever been served. read more

Even though the menu had everything from Chinese to Japanese to Thai food, it's a family run business that provides great dishes. We ordered Pad Thai and Pad Kra Prow Gai and it was great. The Pad Thai was pretty sweet but delicious. The Pad Kra Prow was out of this world! The veggies were super fresh and the green beans were cooked perfectly. If you're in Placerville craving something other than American food, this is the place to try! read more
