On top of that the vegetables that get thrown in are a very yummy touch to it. Honestly next time I come I need to try other dishes since I keep coming back to my usual order! This place is a must try!

My countless check ins and photos will prove this to be one of my favorite restaurants…read more Every dish I have tried so far has made it to my regular rotation. But my regular go to is pad Thai with either chicken(no extra charge) or beef (extra charge) Along with a Thai iced tea. You can choose your spice level. Lunch specials are a good portion and includes an appetizer. Can't go wrong with the crab rangoon or spring rolls. I always bounce back between the two. Spacious clean area, friendly attentive staff and you'll be able to hear the people you are talking to. So far I've never had to wait more than a minute to be seated, order taken within a few minutes after receiving menues and food comes out at a timely manner. Stop by and explore a wide variety of dishes from Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam!

The heat is layered and intentional, and even the small detail of the hot pepper garden behind the restaurant adds to the sense that the kitchen genuinely cares about its craft. The only hesitation is the pricing, which trends noticeably high. Still, when the food carries this much flavor and character, it's easier to understand where the value comes from.

I'm always seeking out new to me places and I've heard of this spot from other friends for many…read moreyears and just recently had the chance to visit. I wish I would've visited sooner! This spot is not much for ambience inside or outside but on the day of my visit they had brisk takeout and the dining room was packed...real quick. I'm sure a lot of folks go here for the Chinese menu items but I was there for the Lao goodies! They did not disappoint! We had the fried meat balls; a mixed app plate with chicken wings, Lao sausage, and beef jerky; lap beef; and a healthy serving of sticky rice (ok maybe we had 2 to sop up the lap beef). Flavors were on point. Medium spice had us excited and rolling at the same time as it got spicier throughout the meal for the lap...but it was so good! I can't wait to go back and try more! Service was friendly and attentive. Parking was easy since they have their own lot.

Tonight, we tried Bangkok Thai Exp due to the high ratings. They let you seat yourself in the very…read morelimited seating area (3 booths). The initial impression is that the place is clean. Upon sitting, we were immediately seated. Their menu has plenty of choices. I ordered the garlic chicken and egg rolls (4 to an order). My better half got the Basil Chicken. Her basil chicken was delicious and plenty on the quantity as well! The basil didn't overpower the dish but delivered a perfect amount of minty basil flavor. My garlic chicken was crispy, and maybe a little dry but the flavor was great. The garlic was great in the chicken... but fantastic in the broccoli and veggies'. The only thing I would ding them on is that the garlic chicken quantity seemed skimpy compared to hers. The egg rolls were awesome and their sweet and sour had a little no heat spice to it!!! Yum! Overall, we liked the food. I'd give hers 5 stars and mine 4. One thing I almost dinged them to 3 stars (my average), was that the small dining area froze every time the door opened. Thai Express is absolutely worth checking out!

I just have to rave about this Penang Curry with Tofu. It is SOO good. I got the lunch special…read morewhich is enough to split into two meals for me.

It's hard to find good food in the suburbs. This place has THE BEST chicken pad thai I've ever had and everything they else they do so far is pretty well above average. Great tom yum soup, spring rolls, and specialty foods. This place is a gem amongst rocks that could be kicked AKA typical surburban restaurants with inflated reviews of locals who don't get out much." 3/6/23

We usually have our go to spots for Thai and Laos dishes but no where near us. First look in, at 8:30pm on a typical Saturday dinner night. Place was super packed. But the staff and service quickly took us in without any reservations. As foodies, we quickly asked the waitress what is their authentic dishes that they offer here. They advised us their Thai/Laos sausage. We also ended up ordering their naked chicken wings with the papaya salad. Fire super fire! We also order their Kha soup that went well with their fried basil seafood noodles! The ambience is classy casual just a good place to sit down with your family and have a very good Thai authentic meal! Hands-down, going to be back with the rest of the family!

It has a pretty boring strip mall location but it's actually got a casual classiness thing going on. Best things are the curries. They have tons of these. Basic looking when first coming here. It's got a better looking interior but even this isn't that impressive. They're still able to create a classiness about it though. A lot of great things to choose from. It's about $12 for the cheapest curries, and they have a lot. Some of these were unfamiliar to us. I got the Mussaman Curry. This is coconut curry with onions, peanuts, and potatoes. Had a spicy type of sweetness to it. This was really great at lunch. She got the Yellow Curry. This has onions and potatoes. All these have a protein choice. We got tofu. A lot more on the menu. There's also noodles or rice if wanting something that's more solid. For sure we could go here again. It's one of those places that closes in the middle of the afternoon a couple of hours. There's plenty to get for vegans and vegetarians.

Their menu offers a great selection of Thai and Pan-Asian favorites. We started with an appetizer of Chicken Satay. Grilled chicken(4) marinated in curry and served with a peanut dipping sauce and pickled cucumbers. Absolutely delicious. For our entrees my wife had Chicken Rama Thai Noodles (GF) which is pan fried noodles, broccoli and carrots topped with a peanut sauce.. delicious! I tried Lad Nar which is wide rice noodles topped with a house gravy,chicken and broccoli. It is more like a soup but very good. Plan on taking food home as their portions are huge and prices are very reasonable. With such a huge selection of noodle,rice fish and curry dishes,we will definitely be back.
