Showed up after closing time and the owner came to unlock the door with a smile and still served me delicious Thai food. I was so impressed--with the kind service and the fresh quality of the food. Cashew chicken was delightful, and lots of delicious sauce/spice in the side. Hope to come back soon! read more

I tried this place out as I am a fan of Thai food, and I was glad to discover Thai food in Radford many years after the sit-down restaurant by other owners closed. I was there at a slow hour, around 2:30 pm, so the food may not have been fresh. I ordered a chicken coconut curry, as they said they did not serve pad Thai on that day of the week. The flavors were acceptable, but there was not enough sauce - I had to open a jar at home to mix in for my leftovers. The spring rolls were ok. I went in another day around the same time, this time going around to look at the steam/hot trays they were serving from. The food looked stale and dried out. I assumed that they did not cook food to order based on this. Also, the aromas in the room were unpleasant for me, so I left without buying anything. The staff were super friendly and nice. Based on other reviews, I may give it another chance, maybe at a time when the food is fresher, or try some of the dishes recommended by other customers. I heard that this business started out as a food truck, which was parked outside. Since I like to support local startup businesses, I might go back. read more

I LOVE the food here. The menu offers little something for everyone. If you want something light try the Shrimp Noodle bowl. I love the green curry. Pork spring rolls are delicious. Everything reheats nicely if you can't finish your meal in one setting. The price is reasonable and the service is friendly and great. You will not leave this place without a smile on your face. Give it a try. You will not be disappointed. read more

Amazing service, hospitality, and food. HIGHLY recommend to anyone in the area. Would definitely come again!!

Authentic taste and fresh (like home-grown veggies, perhaps). Outdoor seating only at this time. Very pleasant service. Portions a tad smallish but protein portion was good. read more

This HAS to be the best kept food secret near Radford University!!!!! Hubby is not usually a Thai fan BUT today, the grilled beef salad, spicy pork rice dinner, and chicken& shrimp pad Thai, Oh and the spring rolls (pork and shrimp). EVERYTHING was simply delicious. the customer service was equally amazing. Brian let us sample the curry chicken....OMG. It too was delish!! I can't praise this place enough when i thought we would have to settle for a sub or pizza or other college town menu choices. Stop by there....adjacent to the Exxon before you get to Radford off I-81! Tell Brian The Coleman's from Fredericksburg sent you!! I have read all of the reviews on here about this place and i say YOU have to see for yourself. When we went the place was very clean. Not all Of the trays on the buffet had food but it was an hour and a half before close. Our food was made fresh with the exception of the spring rolls. I did not see if those were made fresh but i did see some had already been made that looked fresh. read more

Great food and exceptional service. Total flavor bombs on all the dishes I tried. Especially enjoyed the Pad Thai and the extra Thai Chile w garlic that they gave me on the side was the cherry on top read more

Best Thai in the area hands down! I've had some of the best customer service here too. The owner is super nice, and I always look forward to coming back read more

My expectations for Thai this express are probably similar to yours after seeing such high ratings, how good could a gas station Thai express place really be? We'll I'll tell you how good it can be. The food was amazing, the service was amazing, the experience overall was amazing. The portions were fantastic, the environment was awesome, and what I presumed to be the owner was a once in a life interaction. Few places or people show a true love for their craft and this place and owner was one of them. To say that my first visit would be my last would be a complete lie. I will be a repeat customer for the next year I'll be in the area. If you are on the fence about trying this place, use this review as your reason to go! read more

Excellent food. A sign of a good restaurant is plenty of customers, a good menu with fresh ingredients and excellent service. Thai This Express has all 3! Well done. After living in SE Asia for a year, I'm picky when it comes to Asian cuisine. However this spot is truly a slice of SE Asia in SW Virginia! To top it off the owner brought out free spring roll because it was slightly damaged and he did not want to sell it. This goes to show the attention to detail that goes into all the food here! I have told all my friends about this place and I can't wait to try more!! read more

Best food in the area, hands down. Love the energy, food and crew. The owners and Miss Morgan are some of the best ppl you will ever have the pressure of meeting. read more

This place is great! Been meaning to check it out for a year because I've heard good things but it's always been kind of out of the way since I live in Blacksburg. However, I went this weekend and it was a great experience! I ordered the spicy tofu rice bowl, a veggie spring roll, and the mellow melon boba. It was a ton of food for the price and I enjoyed it all. I also decided to sit in the restaurant and when the owner noticed I still had a bunch of boba left at the bottom of my drink he offered a free refill to help me finish them. They also made some snacks from spring roll wrappers and offered me one which was very nice. Other great perks include that they offer free samples for every item on the menu including drinks, the food is prepared super fast, they are super nice and seem to have a great rapport with all returning customers, every item on the menu can be made with tofu instead of meat for the vegetarians, and some of the dishes also had a note on the menu that said they could make the items vegan. Other unique features include a rotating menu so you will have new things to try and unique options on the menu I haven't seen at other Thai restaurants (which to me is quite fun). read more

This is a GREAT place for Thai food! The food was delicious. PThe employees are friendly and the place is clean. Give it a try!

I always love the Thai Chicken Alfredo here! If you want something from here but haven't ever had Thai food I recommend it!

Attached to a gas station, this restaurant is very under the radar. Their menus change daily and the spicy pork is so delicious. It is 100% worth every single cent, and it's reasonably priced as well.Pork Rice Bowl is a 10/10 recommend. read more

I've been going to Thai This since they were just a truck. Excellent HIGH quality locally resourced food made with love and passion by a true very sweet Thai lady and her husband. The staff are high energy and very friendly. I have not eaten a dish that I didn't like yet! read more

Super friendly and personable staff! Food was delicious and I will definitely be back next time I am in town for business.

This is the best place to eat in the NRV in my opinion. The staff is always so nice and friendly! They're green curry and spicy pork bowl are my favorites. The whole family requests to eat here regularly. My husbands favorite is the cashew chicken and my son loves the shrimp ramen bowl. Everything is customizable and you can make it as mild or as hot and spicy as you like (literally)they're always adding new and unique dishes and I've never been disappointed. I would HIGHLY recommend you check this place out! You won't find anything else like it in Virginia! read more

Pretty good thai food and the service was friendly and speedy. I got the drunken noodles. Will definitely come back.

Writing this as we sit in the restaurant--our first time here and we already know this will be a new favorite. My husband and I both had the Panang Curry and sampled the Spicy Pork Rice Bowl and the salad featured in their Grilled Beef Salad--all so fresh tasting and delicious! Thai This compares very favorably to the excellent Thai food we had when we lived in California. I should also mention that the owner and staff are very friendly and take pride in their food, deservedly so! Would definitely recommend!!! read more

I am speechless. This is some DARN good thai food. Today I had the massaman curry with chicken and a Thai ice tea and let me tell you that is some of the best Thai curry I've ever had and the tea was amazing as well' Who would've thought in Radford too?!?! I'm blown away, s/o to Thai This Express... I will be back very soon! read more

This is the best food one can get in the NRV. No joke. Yes, it's very casual (it's attached to a gas station) but everything on the menu is incredible. The spring rolls are delicious, the thai tea is great, and their soups are excellent as well. Everyone loves the pork bowl, but I'm a particular fan of the cashew chicken, drunken noodle, and pad thai. My wife loves the thai-style alfredo. My 2-year-old daughter likes to eat from most everything here. Their menu changes day-to-day, which was initially off-putting but allowed me to discovered dishes I probably would not have ordered otherwise. They always post the menu for the day on facebook. I should also note the entire staff is extremely friendly and personable. It's not uncommon to see them greet everyone by name as they walk into the restaurant. My family loves going to Thai This and it's something I look forward to every week. read more

I ended up stopping by purely because food trucks are so rare In VA, and I love Thai food. I had the pork rice bowl and Thai tea. Easily the best food I've had in Blacksburg in a while. The pork fell apart with a touch of the fork and flavor was delicious. Reasonable prices and the Thai tea is unbelievably delicious. Highly recommend. read more

Awesome lil place! Samples available if you're unsure of your choice in Thai food! Staff is very helpful and they even have outside seating! Will definitely be frequenting this place! read more

Excellent service and excellent food. I have been looking for a good thai place in this area and after going here I can say I have found that place I was looking for. read more

This place has the best Thai food in the area. All the staff are super friendly and accommodating. Every menu item is yummy. You have to check each day to see what they are offering. read more

If you want amazing food with the best service, Thai This is the place to be! The staff (including the awesome owners) always make each experience great. As soon as you walk in you are welcomed and if you are a regular, you are welcomed by name. The menu is changed up a little each day with daily specials and it always has some of their originals like the spicy pork bowl, a curry option, and a vegetarian option. Everything that I have tried has been nothing short of delicious, but my favorites include their Cashew Chicken, Chicken fried rice, and Ginger Chicken. They offer a nice selection of specialty drinks like Mango Madness Bubble Tea (a MUST try) and Lemon Ginger Floats. Don't forget to try their spring rolls too! They also operate a food truck that serves up their delicious meals around the NRV and it's surrounding area. You can check out their Facebook page for the operation schedule and where it will be. They will also post their menu for the day on their page. read more

Thai This Express - Cashew Chicken...SO GOOD! - Thai Near Me - Radford, Virginia

This place is the best. I use to go to the food truck as often as I could and now I'm a regular since they opened the restaurant near me! It's just like the food truck with limited items on rotation. You can check Thai This Express on Facebook to see what they're having for the day. My favorites are Drunken Ramen and Panang Curry with Tofu. Even My 5 year old begs to stop for a Thai Tea with Bubbles and a veggie roll. read more

Just stopped by here while we are on a road trip with my boyfriend. The owners were really nice and welcoming not to mention the food was excellent! We had chicken friend rice and green curry chicken and we definitely enjoyed it! read more

The food was awful. Not a good variety of selection. The staff was friendly. The restaurant was dirty. I had to wipe down the table before I could sit down. read more

Love, love this place. Having visited Thailand multiple times, I can attest that Thai This serves excellent local fare. Panang curry has fabulous balance of flavors mixed with smoothness of coconut milk and tastes very authentic. Spicy pork bowl, my husband's favorite, is a cultural hybrid of southern bbq pork and spices such as cilantro and jalapeño. Don't let the fast food interior fool you: this is carefully crafted Thai food worthy of a nice, highly-rated restaurant. Highly recommended! read more

Mouth watering Thai food right here in Virginia!!! I brought my mom here for the first time last month and she was very impressed. She is a foodie and pretty picky about her food but she loved it so much she got more food to go the night before she went back home to Texas. Must try spot in Radford and if you can't get by the restaurant they also have a food truck that sets up in Blacksburg. You can tell I love this place because I follow them when I have a craving for their spring rolls and curry chicken. They also offer tofu for the vegetarian. This spot has something for everyone and the staff and owners are the sweetest, personable groupd of people I have encountered. Customer for life! read more

Great food, super nice owners. We were in town from Richmond and decided to stop in based on all the great reviews and it did not disappoint. Everything was fresh with great flavor. Open one in Richmond. read more

Love. Love. Love. Don't let the co location at a gas station fool you. This gem of authentic Thai cuisine is full of life, energy, charm and great food for a very reasonable price. Chef Mama Jane is Thai through and through as are her recipes. Brian Lawson and his staff make you feel at home. SWVA meets Bangkok and wow do they make a great marriage! read more

This is by far the best and freshest food of any place I've ever eaten. The staff is always friendly,efficient and fast. Food isalways hot and fresh. I have tried several different menu items all of which is absolutely been great. read more

Great reviews, good newspaper write-up, and lack of good thai alternatives in the area brought my wife and me to this modest spot. As others gave said, the location is suitable for pickup or very casual dining. The choices are a bit limited on any given night, but both entree choices we chose were very good: massaman curry and basil chicken. Spring rolls were excellent, and the thai iced tea was delish. Staff were very friendly. If you require a thai cuisine fix, give this place try. read more

This is one of my favorite places in Radford to eat. I love Thai food. If my nose is stuffy from my sinuses I can still taste it due to the nicely spiced food. It is not all spicy and for many of the dishes the spice level can be adjusted. They have some very delicious drinks here as well. I love the boba tea and the ginger lemon float. The spicy pork bowl is amazing. It's like pulled port with a wonderful spicy sauce and it is served with a delicious creamy cilantro and jalapeño dressing. I also really love their Panang Curry and beef salad. The masaman curry chicken is delicious too. They also have very decent pad Thai. Loved the cashew chicken and basil chicken as well. The ginger brew they use in their lemon ginger float is a wonderfully spicy ginger beer from Maine called Maine root spicy ginger brew. It is my all time favorite ginger beer (not alcoholic). It's super spicy and gives you a nice intense ginger tingle in your mouth and nose. Love this place. The owners are super nice. They and the staff are always amazingly upbeat and friendly. For a restaurant attached to a gas station this place is top notch. Must not be missed!!! read more

Extremely friendly staff. I've tried the pad Thai and the red curry and they were both awesome. Great price and generous portion sizes. Every time I visit Radford I'll be sure to stop here. 10/10 read more
