Chicken Pad Thai was surprisingly good! The atmosphere is meh but the young lady working the register was pleasant and the food was good.

I go here for lunch fairly often since it's a convenient walk from my office. With so many good Thai restaurants in metro Detroit, the bar is very high. Thai Xpress makes very average food that is great for a quick lunch. The atmosphere is kind of sub par. It always seems kind of hectic and disorganized with plastic bags all over the counter. Today they were out of the only pop they have that I would drink (diet Pepsi) but failed to mention that when they sold me the $3 empty cup lol. The pad ped curry was good today and generously spiced. Chicken was a bit dry and could've used a bit more fish sauce. They also skimped on the rice. Good value for $15? Not really. Will I go back? Probably. read more

Its a disgusting greasy mess i. A box!!! The crab ragoon was nasty thick tough tasteless mess and the pad thai was not pad thai noodles that sat in grease with no flavor or eggs! Im saving you money by advising you to avoid this tasteless greasy hotmess read more

This place has declined ALOT. The food still always comes out hot, and atleast tastes decent, but there has been a steep and tangible reduction in the portion sizing here, with an uptick in prices. Not only are the overall portion sizes smaller, but expect to be skimped on whatever kind of protien you pick. I've literally gotten orders of n6 noodles (house special apparently) with 3 pieces of chicken in it. It's no longer worth it to me unless I'm in a pinch for Time read more

I've been coming here for a few years. However due to their new counter employee, I probably will not be back. Last week when I went, I asked for siracha sauce, he gave me chili paste and I didn't know until I got home. This week I ordered the same thing: Pad Thai with no peanuts, extra beansprouts, with chili Ken and shrimp. I asked very politely if I could please have a small condiment cup for my siracha, explaining I didn't get it last week. He said no he had to do it. He then fills the cup, and takes it in the back behind their black curtain. Why? The tops are right up front in view. He then slides it (almost tosses it) to me across the counter. I wasn't getting a good feeling from him with his nasty acting attitude and all. I advised him that I wasn't trying to be funny, but could he please hand me a condiment cup and I would get it myself. He scoffed and mumbled under his breath. Anywho...I won't be going back. We have a voice and choices. Not sure what happened to the young lady they had, but she was the BEST! So, if you come here, brace yourself for MR PERSONALITY. read more

I really enjoy food from this restaurant. I've always been pleased each time ordering from them. Great food. Nice variety.

The spring rolls are my favorite! I can't wait to get them again! Food is made fresh and delicious.

Awful awful God awful! Food was old!! 2 shrimp, dry, and old! There is absolutely no way I'll ever return let alone recommend this place to anyone read more

For being run of the mill thai food that I get on lunch it is very good. Being down the street from bangkok 96 has me spoiled though but yhis place does get the job done read more

Super quick and reliable service. The spice level was perfect! I would recommend if in the Southfield area.

The Food is mediocre. The portions are small. They charge for absolutely everything. The cook is rude and condescending and racist. We will not be back. We ask for extra sauce and was charged $3.00 for it- see the picture below for the amount of sauce that they gave us. One spring roll a thin skinny spring roll is $2.25 it was tasteless.The crab ragoons had little and some no filling in them. It was fried dough. Avoid this place. read more

Thai express doesn't disappoint ! The online ordering was very easy. My order was ready well before the estimated time. Not sure if this is an every day thing but keep that in mind if you so your food isn't just sitting. The food is a good portion and very tasty. If you are new to Thai I would start with mild or mild plus. Even though I love hot spicy food Medium can be too hot for me at times. read more

The food was not good. in my opinion it was the worse Thai food I have ever eaten. Someone put so much sauce the juice was all in the bag not the container. read more

Service was fast. Food is decent but overpriced. There's better out there for sure. But for location and time available it's decent

Order pad thai food was expensive 40 dollars for two crab Rangoon is hard and dry. Pad thai missing nuts and lemon. I called and the smart mouth carry out guy would not write my name down for a replacement. It's raining I got all the way home and I didn't want to drive back. I paid for food that's not properly cooked and it can't be remade! read more

Thai Xpress - noodles and chicken in a black container - Thai Near Me - Southfield, Michigan

3 stars is appropriate for Thai Xpress. There's nothing spectacular or outstanding about the interior or the food. If you're looking for a quick lunch spot while you're at work, this is the place. There's usually something small that throws me off: -If you order any of their dishes with spice, for example with medium, they will always ask you "just so you know, our medium is kind of hot. Is that ok?". To which I wonder, every time, why is your medium, hot, and not medium? -Lunch portion sizes are bit smaller than most places I've been to -Occasionally, not enough sauce in my curry dishes read more

Thai Xpress - Halfway through eating, tad bit dry without sauce - Thai Near Me - Southfield, Michigan

For an express location I am absolutely in LOVE with their House Special Noodles & their Thai Curry. Other people I know like their fried rice but I personally rather go with their house noodles or Curry. The house special noodles are like crack in noodle form. Gives me nostalgia of going to 7-11 in Hong Kong and getting their noodles that they stir fried on the spot for you. It as delish as ramen but isn't made from the cheap ramen fake noodles. They need to change the name to crack noodles because once I had them I was instantly hooked!! Their Curry was okay in the past, however, recently I don't know what changed but it tastes wayyy better; creamier, more flavorful and more savory. The portions are great and they don't skimp on the vegetables and meat. Their crab Rangoon actually had bits of what I believe is crab sticks and I was really shocked because all the Rangoon I've had before only had cream cheese in it (I don't normally eat Rangoon or cream cheese). Their fried shrimp rolls are good too, one side of the roll will have more shrimp than the other just because of how long the rolls are so I would advise getting at least 2 orders of if you plan on sharing. read more

Food was pretty good. But it advertises that pho is available but it was not when I tried to order it. I ordered the drunken noodles instead which quite good. But i wanted pho. read more

Girl working front has attitude. Food was not the best. Probably the worst crab Rangoons I've ever had, tasted like fryer oil. The spring roll tastes like burnt rubber. Drunken noodles were meh.I will never go here again unless they fix up the food quality. They also need to update their online menu since their prices have changed. read more

I love this place. I discovered this place years ago. My go-to dish here is the Chicken Pad Thai. It's always delicious. Also, decent sized portions and it's reasonably priced. A great place to come for lunch service is pretty quick. read more

Thai Xpress - N1. Pad Thai Chicken - Thai Near Me - Southfield, Michigan

I had carry out chicken pad thai medium and it was hotter than hot at most establishments, trying the flavor. Chicken Satay had a good sauce, but was dry on the skewers. I was somewhat disappointed. I had been there before and ate in with a guest and it was much better. ALSO, food did not get distributed in the order that orders were placed. Odd as we had pad thai and they had fried rice.... read more

Called to place an order. Was told "no we don't do that" then a long pause and told me to order online and hung up. (really felt like they were telling me to piss off). My order for two fried rice came to $30 and they refused to give me soy sauce packets or plum sauce in my carry out- said it would be an extra charge?!?! I made a note on my order that I wanted it mild plus and not too spicy, and when I arrived home with my order, it was ridiculously spicy hot and rice had a weird mushy consistency. My biggest issue is that I cannot believe when ordering fried rice, they would not include a couple of soy sauce packets or a plum sauce when they were charging $15 per order for rice. Not a very welcoming environment in the restaurant read more

Quick order Thai and there's nothing wrong with that. It gets busy at lunch and they don't have a huge seating area. Most folks seem to get their meals to go. My lunch order was a Gang Ga Ree with chicken, which is a yellow curry with potatoes and noodles, plus a big scoop of white rice. Medium is still kind of hot so the rice was helpful to cool it down. Quite tasty and a good portion. I also got their "fresh rolls" which I've seen elsewhere named "summer rolls." They're spring rolls, only, they're not fried. Filled with lettuce and cucumber and sliced pork and shrimp. These were quite good but the lettuce wasn't shredded small enough and it made for a bit of a mess when dipping in the peanut sauce. Other than the big lettuce, lunch was great! I'm a fan. read more

All my noodles where stuck together because there was not enough sauce. Also it was bland. I ordered a Raspberry tea and the cup was filled more then half way with ICE. The ice is literally at the top of the 22 once cup. read more

Thai Quest 2010 brought me to a new place. I ventured out to the mysterious Evergreen Road in Southfield, deep in the land of tall buildings, beige strip malls, and weird condos. On the way to Thai Xpress I passed the Southfield City Buildings, the Mary Thompson farm and some other interesting places. Thai Xpress is small. There are only about five, two seat high-tops in the place. This is definitely a carry-out place and probably does a lot of business at lunch. I tried the Curry Pad Thai. I don't know if it's an "authentic" dish but I like the curry and noodle combination. I ordered my food and the food was out in 5 minutes. When they say Xpress, they really mean it. The food was hot and fresh and very tasty. The dish had a nice yellow curry color. I ordered medium spicy and I think it was spiced perfectly. It was enough to feel the heat, but it didn't force you to consume a lot of water. The most interesting part of the menu is "create your own stir-fry". Here, you pick a protein, rice or noodles, a sauce and as many vegetables as you want. The proteins are the typical beef, chicken, pork or tofu. The vegetables options are a good selection of a lot of different vegetables. There are about 8 sauces to choose from and pretty much any kind of Thai sauce you could ask for. I was impressed by the speed and the flavor of the food. I just wish this place was a little more inviting to sit and eat a meal and not just get take-away. read more

Food was gross. Ew. No flavor just spice & I love spicy food but this was just nasty. I got the paid Thai medium spice. The pasta tasted over cooked and it was just very mediocre 1.5/10 read more

I think I'm in love with Kow Pad Curry!! I've never been a fried rice person but this is so good! The range is spice level is appreciated. Medium plus is where it's at for me! The spring rolls really tip-off an amazing dish! My go to for a treat at lunch time. read more

I was looking for a place to have lunch on this area and in a mood to try something different than a regular American lunch. So I saw this in Yelp with 3 stars, and decided to give it a try. It's a small place with 4 high tables...most of their orders are to carry out. I ordered the Thai rice with shrimp and I really liked it! It was hot as I wanted, and it was really tasty. I ate it all! Highly recommended if you are looking for something different, not recommended for eating here. The tables were kind of sticky and the walls show signs of not being cleaned in quite some time (you can see the grease...). read more

Great little place to go for lunch! I tried the drunk noodles and Tom yum soup it was a large portion and very tasty. They were right, the medium spicy was pretty spicy. I would recommend going before noon to beat the rush. I can't wait to try other dishes! read more

This is close to work, which is why I dine here. I have tried a handful of items. My favorite is the Thai Fried Rice with Chicken, Hot spice. I also tried a similar dish, but also had peanuts and pineapple in it. It was pretty good, but I felt like I ate a whole bag of chili cheese Fritos. The only thing I didn't really like were the fresh rolls. They tasted weird to me. Maybe that's how hey are supposed to taste? Who knows? Either way, I'll be back in a few weeks. read more

Man when I tell you this food was super good and spot on for Thai. I wish they had more reviews so I'm leaving one lol the rices are so flavorful you don't need any sauces added. The medium spice is actually really spice, and I'm a spice girl so that's saying a lot. 10/10. We got the loaded rice with everything and the noodles as well. The chicken wings also were fried to perfection and the sauce was so good to dip them in. We are here for a wedding this weekend and this was such a great find. We will be taking out before we leave again read more

This is the second time I've been here. First time I had drunken noodles (N3), the second time I had pad see ew (N2). I like rice thick noodles and I've had these dishes before so I know what they are suppose taste. Both times I've been here, the noodles are rubbery and do not give the dish good flavor. The restaurant is clean and the staff is nice but I think the food is a bit overpriced. read more

I don't know why I have not reviewed this place yet. I go here all the time for lunch. I won't call myself a Thai food connoisseur so please don't use this food for a reference for "good" or "authentic" Thai food, instead look at this review from the point of view of someone who only orders Pad Thai, and has only had it from 4 different places. I love calling my order in and when I say I want my food at the "hot" spice level (they offer five levels-no spice, mild, medium, hot and xtra hot), the waitress never fails to warn "okay, but the hot is really spicy are you sure you want hot?" She's not lying. I tried the xtra hot one time and I could eat it but it was not really enjoyable. So I stick with just hot and keep water on hand. To give you an idea of what I consider spicy, I carry tobacco sauce with me at all times and enjoy the occasional munch on a habanero pepper. Anyway, from the few places I've eaten the beloved pad thai this is one of the best! It's spicy, sweet and has just enough sauce, which is what it's all about after all. read more

This is the 3rd time I've come and each time service gets a little faster. This is some of the best Thai food in my area and they have a ton of variety. My husband ordered the Pad Thai and I don't remember what I ordered but it had broccoli and mushrooms with a dark gravy sauce over rice, I also asked them to add tofu and wow it was amazing. If you are into spicy, they will ask you how spicy you want your food. Last time we went for the spiciest option they had and I wasn't even able to eat the food it was so hot! This time we smarted up and and went with the mild and it turned out to be perfect! Very please, as always the food was delicious. read more

Loved the food here. We attended a conference in the area and ended up at Thai Xpress for lunch. Really like the fast, reasonable price, and clean service.

Easily one of the best thai places I've ever been to. I went to school at Lawrence Tech which is very close to here so I went a lot. All their dishes are very good. Nothing is over the top or too salty. Everything is great, at good portions, and a good price. Everything is made very quick. The place is clean and well taken care of as well. They have a vast array of items on the menu. I've gone to thai places in Ann Arbor, Royal Oak, Detroit, Washington DC, Florida, etc. I always order drunken noodles when I go and the ones at Thai Xpress will ALWAYS be the best. Also being to every thai restaurant in Southfield, I have to say this is the best. read more

I decided to try this place despite the mixed reviews because it is near my workplace. There were two ladies working at the front counter, one who talked a lot and another who said nothing at all. I innocently asked the one who spoke if she knew which sauces did not contain fish sauce. "How should I know?" she shot back. "I don't make the sauces." Not "I don't know, let me check" or even "I'm sorry, I don't know" but a flip, smart-aleck remark. Then, she turned away. I left immediately and do not intend to come back. read more

I've had decent lunches here, but not so much today. This is the curry noodle soup. There is no liquid, so it's not really soup, and no flavor. I don't have time to drive back and get something else, so I'm just choking it down for lack of anything else to eat at work. read more
