Real Authentic Thai Food, Excellent. Tom Yum Soup and Basil Chicken, Egg and Rice. It is truly a surprise, not often to find a place like this, some are, ok, some good, this one was great. Jerry B read more

I was in town for a work event when I stumbled upon this place. I love Thai food so I figured I would give it a try for my first dinner in the area. I am happy I went. I sat inside to eat and the wait staff was friendly and helpful as I had a ton of questions. The restaurant was set for the baby shower from the day before but with/without the decorations it's a beautiful establishment. I had my usual Thai order of pad see ew with chicken and I added dumplings as I was hungry. Tik's pad see ew lived up to my expectations as my food was delicious! The dumplings were also really good. I definitely left feeling full. I would definitely recommend this spot if you are in the area. read more

This is a gem! I found this place because it was within walking distance of my hotel. From the moment I walked in I knew this place was going to be special. I've heard Thailand referred to as the land of million smiles. Well, this place brought that concept here. They greet you with a smile, serve you with a smile, and you leave with smile. The food so good and so well prepared. I started out with the best fried pot stickers I've ever had in my life and I've gone to some of the best places in New York, Las Vegas, and in between. Prepared to perfection. If gold was the standard, then this is platinum status. My main course was salmon fried rice and it was well prepared. I wanted level 4 hot but seemed a little mild but it was still wonderful. And oh, the Tom Kha soup is platinum standard as well. I'm hoping I try another dish to confirm it before I head home in a few days. This place is a gem of smiles. Excellent service. read more

This was my first time here at this restaurant and the Thai fresh flavors were incredible. I definitely will be back for more when I'm in the Dayton area for work. I ordered the Thai basil chicken rice dish at 2-stars of spice and it was perfect. Not too spicy, just right. read more

How have I never written a review for Tiks?! I've been eating her for a least a decade! They are super friendly and the place is beautiful. Truly some of my favorite Thai food around! Pad Thai is a go to but I recently tried the Kao Soi and it might be my new favorite: Choice of meat. Thai Yellow Curry Noodle Soup. Big bowl of steamed noodles in yellow curry broth soup with cilantro, onions, and carrots with crunchy noodles on top. read more

Tik Thai Express was my dinner spot on my first night in Wright-Patterson, and it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. I stopped in on a whim while heading to my hotel and was glad I did. I ordered the crab fried rice with spring rolls and a watermelon aloe vera juice. It was my first time trying crab fried rice at a Thai restaurant, and it was flavorful, fresh, and generously filled with crab. The food was made to order and ready fairly quickly--I took it to go. Based on the setup, I'd recommend it more for takeout than dine-in, but don't let that deter you. If I'm back in town for work, I'll definitely stop by again. read more

Came here yesterday for the Thai tea and returned the next day for Thai tea and food. Ended up ordering the Thai fried rice with chicken level 2 and pad Thai noodles with chicken and the mini spring rolls. Portions are large, Everything was amazing including the server. We will definitely return. Thank you so much for the amazing experience and wonderful food. read more

Food is always wonderful, fresh and flavorful. Clean restaurant with a friendly staff

Food was amazing. Servers and owner so kind and sweet. You must come during lunch they have an amazing deal! read more

Tik's Thai Express - Food was amazing. Servers and owner so kind and sweet. You must come during lunch they have an amazing deal! - Thai Near Me - Fairborn, Ohio

I was looking for a late lunch and this was suggested to me. It's really close to where I work, so the location is great. It was a little slow because I missed the lunch hour, but I was seated immediately. The hostess was charming and when I asked for recommendations she gave me some good ones. They know their food. It didn't take very long for the food to come out, it was very timely. The hostess was attentive, checking to make sure all was well, or see if I needed anything. This place has a nice atmosphere. Kind of cozy. Upbeat. The food was absolutely delicious. I was surprised that they recommended the lunch menu instead of the dinner menu, but they pointed me the right way. I got yellow curry and they gave me some extra pepper on the side in case I wanted it hotter. I really love hot food so that was a win. I'm unfamiliar with jasmine tea but I tried it. It's flower infused, I think mine was green tea. According to Google there's other tees that they will infuse with, but it's always the jasmine flower. It was a good side serving and I didn't need any sweetener at all. They had excellent service and excellent atmosphere to go with excellent food. You can't go wrong here. read more

Food is good. Try to stick to the tofu, some of the chicken dishes are a little dry. Service is excellent.

Fantastic. Richelle got the Pad Thai, spicy level 2, I only tried a bit and it was good. I decided to do something different and get a curry dish. I have never had a Thai curry dish, but it was wonderful. I got the Dayton Curry with shrimp: Thai yellow curry sauce in coconut milk with potato, red & green bell pepper, onion, pineapple, mango, carrot and basil leaves. Served with jasmine rice. Thai curry is more soupy then Indian curry. The sweet coconut balance the heat, I got spicy level 2 and found it to be just where I like spiciness, I might even be able to go to three. I poured my Dayton curry over the rice and ate it with a spoon. We also got an order of crab Rangoon and edamame, egg rolls all are good. read more

Tik's Thai Express's tropical decorations create a welcoming atmosphere. Wooden accents and bamboo furniture add a rustic touch, while pops of bright hues from tropical flowers and artwork bring warmth and energy to the space. Soft lighting adds to the relaxed, laid-back vibe. I enjoyed the Tofu Pad See Ew; tofu is a vessel for flavor, soaking up the rich, savory umami from the caramelized soy sauce and smokey notes from the wok. The dish's texture is a delightful contrast--wide, chewy rice noodles provide a satisfying bite, while the crispness of lightly sautéed vegetables and broccoli adds freshness and crunch. The Mango Summer Rolls were so refreshing--light, fresh, and flavorful. It was a health-conscious and satisfying meal, full of vibrant, delicious flavors. read more

Absolutely loved the staff.. my goodness they are all so kind. The food was fresh and served hot. Great spot to go when you want good food on the go. read more

Food/Drink: Amazing! Heat was on par! Flavors were amazing, portions were good! Boba was great, Thai tea was flavorful too. Prices: Not outrageous. Kitchen: everything was out quick and easy, everything was cooked correctly, and nothing was at a weird temperature. Bathrooms: Very clean, and smelled good. Plenty of stalls, and urinals. Paper towel and toilet paper were stocked! Atmosphere: Very quiet, tranquil, and chill. Staff/Attendants: She was very pleasant, very attentive and personable. read more

The food was good, fresh and hot. Pad Thai was really good and the sampler appetizer was a perfect amount to try many things. Service was good despite the evening rush. Will try this place again. read more

Hubs and I were staying in the Fairborn area and needed a quick bite to eat before a concert at Fraze Pavilion. This place was good, if a little pricey. I ordered a shrimp Tom yum soup that was $20ish - higher than what I'd typically pay either at my local Thai places in the Seattle area, or my former stomping grounds in SF. Still, it was tasty, and I'd get it again. Hubs and I both also ordered the fresh rolls with shrimp, which we both enjoyed as well. The overall menu seemed a little limited compared to what I'm used to, but that said, if we were ever in the area again, we'd definitely eat here. Good service, nice ambiance, plenty of parking. read more

Unfortunately, the food was a disappointment. I used to enjoy their food. I had pineapple rice with very few pieces of pineapple. The rice tasted like it was part instant rice and part regular rice. The service was great. I won't be going back read more

Overall great flavor but the preparation is inconsistent. Some days the food is over cooked. Always a busy lunch spot but for good reason. Service is typically pretty prompt. read more

Everything we ordered from here was DELICIOUS. It was way fancier inside than I thought it would be. Boyfriend got pad see ew that had the perfect amount of salty/sweet. I got chicken fried rice that was also so freaking good! Both got spice level three (both of us love spicy food) and we are curious about the hotter levels but still want to enjoy the food so three was perfect. Boyfriend also got chicken wings and they are CRISPY and delicious. Comes with sweet chili sauce that is also DELICIOUS. I was surprised by how much we liked everything. It wasn't just good..... it was GOOOD. Definitely a new go to. read more

Food is definitely amazing. In town on a work trip, went once for lunch and it was a great experience. The pad thai and blended taro boba was delicious. I went again for dinner but was surprised at the customer service I received from Ethan (caucasian male host). I decided to do take out. I thanked him for my food but did not hear anything back. So I grabbed my things and said thank you a little louder thinking he may not have heard me the first time. I received a "mhm" back. Maybe he was having a rough day but you work in customer service, if you need a moment to gather yourself please do that so you are not negatively impacting a business owner's reputation. read more

I had the mango curry and asked for a 4/5 and it almost burned my face off. I've been coming here for the last five years but this was the absolute hottest spice I've ever encountered. I really like their food but I'm not sure what happened and why dish was so spicy. My guess is they over spiced by accident. I'll definitely be coming back but I'll stop shy of a 4 next time. My coworker was with me and had a very similar experience with a different dish. Holy spice Batman. read more

Terrible location. I ordered Curry, Chicken, and Rice and recieved Pad Thai, curry with chicken, and rice. I asked 2-3 times for no vegetables because they make me itchy and they served my veggies. I tried to give them the pad thai a chance and the noodles were hard. Moreover, as seen in the picture, they give you barely any meat. read more

We had a really great experience here! We were a party of 20 coming from a wedding and they were able to accommodate all of us at one table immediately. The servers came out to take our orders as soon as we sat down and I appreciated how they were all dressed very nicely. The food came out piping hot and in such a timely manner for the size of our party. Everyone was happy with their meal. I got the Tik's Favorite Noodles and it was so delicious. I'm honestly sad I don't live in Ohio because I'd probably eat here every weekend lol. All around a wonderful time! read more

Went while at a conference. I love me some Thai food and will try everywhere I go. I went during lunch time and it was really busy but they had the line going fast. There was a dine in and carry out area. I ordered the chicken basil fried rice along with Thai tea. I got it to go due to my schedule. It was really tasty and full of flavor. I loved the Thai tea which is one of my favorites. The chicken was tender and it was the right spice level. I would probably go down the next time because you have to learn each places level. I would definitely go back when in the area. The food was really tasty and I loved the Thai tea. The staff was okay but being that it was a lunch rush, they provided good customer service. Only issue was my meal was prepared for dine in and they had to box it up. read more

Amazing food. Came here once, and it was so desirable, I've always came back every time I happen to be in Fairborn. Hands down the best restaurant I've been to. I always get their chicken fried rice, it's basic but it's something to love. Their service is impeccable, the staff always treat you with respect, and in a timely manner. I love this place, and will always continue to go here. read more

Tiks always has amazing food and service! My favorite Thai restaurant by far! We go here often

Terrible food. The Basil chicken tasted like fish. The pot stickers were good. I finally went back to try to give this restaurant another chance after my first experience here. Unfortunately, I was not able to finish my food. The chicken basil tasted like fish, this was very unwelcome. The issue I had with the service was, when I told them that the chicken tasted like fish and I wanted my check (had only eaten about 10%) they said if I had told them earlier they could have tried to fix the issue but could not do anything at that point. Almost like they thought I was trying to get a free meal off them. I hate to see local businesses fail but this one needs to go or have a makeover. Sorry Tiks. read more

I come to Tik's often--you really can't go wrong here. Their service is fast, price is on point and portions are more than plenty. I typically get the tofu pad Thai. If my kids are with me we will get the pad see ew too. My boyfriend likes the yellow curry and the bourbon chicken and fried rice a lot. I also get my bubble tea here, IF I'm already here. Their bubble tea is very pricey--so if I'm just in the mood for bubble tea I'd go to Wat Da Pho which isn't far off from Tik's. read more

Grabbed pad Thai & a Thai tea. I'll try a little hotter next time (I got a 1). Delicious & good leftover. Was ready very fast!

We did take out and it was amazing. Plenty of food. It was ready when we got there and it tasted very good. Every Thai place has different ratings of spicy, they use the 1-5 scale. I ordered a 2 but next time will be a 3 or 4. I found the food very mild. read more

Simply delicious!! Very nice staff Their seafood Tom Yum is excellent and with nice heat. The Basil Chicken superb and also perfect heat! What a great place!! Will be back when next in town for sure!! read more

Amazing food!! Love yellow curry! Favorite comfort food! Would highly recommend!Appetizer Combo

The chicken pad thai was decent, but after I got my food delivered and ate, I got food poisoning. I would be careful on what you order, but overall the food and service is okay aside from the whole food poisoning thing. The inside of the restaurant is cute. read more

Nightmare. Food served scalding hot. Heavy use of spoiled pepper oil - spent the next 24 hours running for the bathroom with severe bowel spasms from the oil. Chicken pieces were tiny and vegetables were also, 70% potatoes. Curry sauce sub par. Won't be back ever again. read more

I think this place is good. I like the lunch special and how you can get bourbon chicken with fried rice and pad Thai! I don't like coming here for dinner because it's a lot more expensive. I also learned the hard way that if you get bourbon chicken with noodles it is not pad Thai- so I recommend getting it with fried rice since you have to choose one or the other. When I've had their pad Thai I've thought it was okay. Better than I can make it at home, but not the best pad Thai! I stick with the bourbon chicken. I would much rather go to Lihn's Bistro or Thai 9, but we do go here every once in awhile. read more

This is one of my favorite Thai places in the area. I've always gotten the pad Thai and haven't been disappointed. I will say that the hot Thai spicy is good but not too spicy. That's the only downside to this place. If you love Thai food, this place is worth the time. read more

I am pleasantly surprised by Tik's Thai Express. We ate here one weekend and it wasn't too busy. There are two sides to the restaurant. When you walk in, the left side seems a bit nicer. But both sides are basically the same. For drinks I tried both the thai iced tea and the green tea slush. Both were super sweet, but the green tea slush was just too sweet. It tasted like diabetes sweet and I usually like my drinks sweet. The thai iced tea was a little better. And way better than the thai iced tea at House of Thai. For the appetizers, we had the fish cakes and the baby angels (similar to crab rangoons but replace the crab with shrimp). Both were delicious. The fish cakes are what you usually get in a Thai restaurant. So it's consistent here. Although I wish they had shrimp cakes too. Those are so much better. The baby angels are dangerous to eat. Since it's a deep fried eggroll, as soon as you take a bite into it the hot melted cheese squirts out and burns your mouth. If you love eating spicy food, we got the papaya salad and got it beyond their levels 1-5 spicy and it had a nice kick! You won't be disappointed. The drunken man noodles was an good pick too. There was a decent amount of chicken in it to leave you satisfied. The most disappointing dish however was the orange chicken. Really it should have been renamed to sweet and sour chicken. It was served with bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, and onions. I've never had orange chicken served with all these vegetables before and it was off putting. I'm used to having it with chicken only. Their menu only says it's served with broccoli. The sauce was entirely too sweet. Again with the two sweet for this place. I found myself propping up the dish so that all the sauce drained to one side, and eating the chicken that was kind of separated by the sauce. But by then, you're better off getting orange chicken at Panda Express. It's cheaper too. Despite this, Tik's was a good choice for lunch. I would come back. read more

Definitely might go to Thai place! I mostly order for takeout and I've had the pad Thai and pad see ew. Both were delicious. However, sometimes the food can be inconsistent especially if you order around closing. But it is not enough enough to stop me from going. read more
