    Trying a new spot
    Crystal C.

    First time trying this place. Not bad prices lots to choose from. Nice location in tower. So nice and so fresh! I got a beef pho and a Mongolian beef entree. Made to order hot and quick! Definitely try them out when you're around the area.

    I've ordered food from here multiple times and never disappointed. This time my order was a mess. I ordered pad ka prik and the basil chicken which are my go to dishes. This particular time the food was soo oily it was inedible. This might be my last time eating here sadly.

    We found this spot looking for Thai off the 99. It was a small cute little spot right in the corner. My sister ordered the spring rolls and chicken pad Thai. I ordered the egg rolls and the beef bad Thai. I thought the egg rolls were delicious and she really liked the spring rolls. The pad Thai was good but a little, I don't want to say slimy because that's a weird visual but that's the only word I can think of. The pad Thai was a 7/10. The service was great. She was very friendly and attentive. Overall it was a great experience with some good last minute food!

    The sister and I came to Noodle Express as the dude and I always go to the Lincoln right next door and always wondered trying this place out. So on my day off the sister and I went on her lunch break. It was a lot of fun trying this place out and we were surprise how delicious and flavorful the food is. I usually gauge a place by the salt dispensers and if it's GONE GONE that's a sign that the food isn't tasty but their salt dispensers were FULL. No need for anything extra added as everything was seasoned with love and perfection. Our server was very kind and sweet. Made sure we had everything we needed. We arrived around 12:15 and out by 12:50pm definitely a place to go if you have a hour lunch or even a 30 minute lunch as the food came out HOT. FRESH. And QUICK. Affordable prices and disappointed I haven't got their food since as I am always in the area due to work or just entertainment ;). Such a gem! They have plethora of vegetarian options. The fried tofu is delicious...well everything is. I can't wait to come back here !

    We ordered to go, the service was good, she took my ordered sounded like a busy day. The inside is nice and clean, nothing fancy though. This is probably the best place to get pad Thai from in Fresno. They have great spring rolls & the pad kra paw with crispy pork is so tasty, highly recommend. A random person suggested we get it the first time we went and we've gotten it ever since. It's has a fried egg on top with crispy pork, peppers onion and mushrooms and a yummy sauce.

    Incredibly delicious and consistent flavors each time I eat my meals from here. Ordered Pad Si Ew, with veggies & tofu, no egg, and extra noodles. The moist, hot noodles...okay they frankly melt in your mouth. Soooo delicious, and not just the noodles- everything in this dish is fresh and delicious. It can be customized many different ways to your liking. I enjoyed a take out order. I just have to give a special shout out to the detail and care taken when preparing the veggies. The carrots and zucchini each are sliced in a unique style, which helps to make the whole meal experience more enjoyable! They didn't have to, but they did... starting to eat first with your eyes, satisfaction wise- that's just icing on the cake...or the sauce on the noodles- Lol! Well done Noodle Express!

    This place is a nice lunch spot. During my visits, it has not been busy, and we were able to dine in comfortably. The staff are very nice and attentive with any needs. I love getting the pad Thai it is always freshly made and definitely in my top pad Thai picks in Fresno. It's so good I always finish my plate.

    Pad Si Ew
    Angelo B.

    One of my favorite places for Thai Food. The place is small, but the service is quick and staff are friendly. Everything is fresh and loaded with lots of flavor. My favorite dishes are the Pad Si Ew and Noodle Express Yellow Curry

    Khao poon
    Nicole L.

    Service here is always polite and fast. The Bo boun and khao poon are our new favorite items to order. The chili oil is the best we've ever had anywhere! The potstickers were not that good; prolly just not our preference. Ambiance is casual; good place for quiet lunch/dinner date or getting food with friends. This has become one our regular spots to get lunch/dinner. We'll be back!

    Drunken noodles made spicy with chicken and tofu and shrimp spring rolls with extra peanut sauce ordered. The worker was very kind and said it would be ready in 10 minutes. I went in to get it. Small restaurant. Clean, safe and practiced. The worker was kind and the order was ready. Paid for the order and left. Lunchtime! I got lunch ready and split. The spicy drunken noodles were spicy and good! Good amount of chicken and tofu! Tasty! Just oily. The shrimp spring roll was really good! Fresh and tasty. Peanut sauce made it better! Mother said hers was great. She really enjoyed it and said the spring roll tasted fresh! Really good lunch! Good service too! Recommended!

    Rating doesn't change-- they're still amazing from my experience last year. Why it took a whole…read moreyear to come back? Idk. *shrugs* This time we got: Pad Kra Pao, Pad Se-Ew (beef), Yellow Curry (chicken), and Thai Style Papaya Salad for dinner. We each had a different favorite dish out of the three entrees... Pad Se-Ew was mine (noodle head), followed by the Pad Kra Pao (perfect flavor, not too strong on the basil, egg fried just right), then the curry last (I prefer green or red more). The salad was good, refreshing. No spice whatsoever, but we knew that (one of the girls can't handle as much spice). The winner of our dinner? The Thai Tea Flight! I love the option of flights anywhere I go. It gives you the chance to try all the flavors you're curious about without committing to one that you may or may not like. Man... these were amazing. If I had to rank the flavors-- it was a toss-up between the Original Thai Tea and the Ube but since this is the battle of the Thai Teas... the OG gets a slight edge. Both freaking amazing though (we ordered full sizes of these after). Obviously Thai Iced Coffee comes next but coffee should be it's own category. It wins on its own as coffee. The Green Thai Tea came in last for all 3 of us, I believe. It's good, just not as good as the other three... and it's definitely more fragrant? Idk the right word for it. Anyway, I'd make more stops here just for these drinks alone now that i know how good they are. Staff was amazing. Friendly. Attentive. Restaurant still very aesthetic. Their plating of the meals? A+. It was a very good dinner.

We were greeted immediately and asked for a reservation as this place was packed! It thinned out about 10 minutes to closing as they were still seating people. Anywho, our server was ever attentive. As a vegetarian I miss kung pow chicken. And they were able to make Kung pow tofu for me. Which is probably the best hospitality ever!! They just had to check with the chef and it was a GO! The compound tofu was very flavorful. It wasn't mushy. The tofu was firm and all the seasonings paired well with it. The dude enjoyed his meal with the steak and purple rice. The rice was pretty good. I did not try the steak as I'm not vegetarian. But he really enjoyed it as it was butterfly pea rice. Our cocktails were delicious. Balanced not too sweet. It hit the spot. We were very impressed with this place and really enjoyed our time here all the flavors popped in every dish we had was delicious even the appetizer of the spring rolls. Very crunchy light and not greasy. Overall, this was a great spot to grab a delicious meal, date night, or celebrate. I would come just to come again definitely will be back.

And it wasn't until I brought it home. I realize that I was given beef instead of pork. The flavoring was OK not very sweet kind of bland but when you add the green sauce to it, it elevated the flavors and was amazing. I don't think that I would eat any of the dishes without the green sauce as the flavor profile is not very strong. Previously, I did order a pork pot Thai, but again the flavor profile was not that great until the green sauce was added I would go again, just due to convenience and the addiction to the green sauce lol

They have a large variety of noodles here, pho, thai boat noodles, khao soy, khao poon, and also tons of other thai /cambodian / lao choices. We got a thai boat noodle, khao soy, and pork belly to share. The thai boat noodle and khao soy are delicious. It was my first time ordering khao soy I thought khao soy was a curry based dish, but my noodles were a pork based broth, still yummy though! The pork belly here is huge and served hot and super crispy, miles better than any other pork belly I've tried. The thai tea had an off putting flavor, like they had made it with soy mik? instead of condensed evaporated milk? Total was $83 after tax and tip, this place is pretty hole in the wall but even hole in the wall places have to charge more now to keep up with inflation. Great fast service !

    Khao soy. Soy happy.*…read more Why Khao Soy? Because Kh-ao piek and Kh-ao poon feel as standardized as ph-o, but Khao Soi seems to vary from shop to shop. Not just the spelling. Just my observation. And this was amongst the top 3 of the Khao Soys I've had. Lao Kao Soi anyway. The Th-ai version is a different dish to me. I came here Sunday evening. Things were slow. I told him the order just as he gave me the menu, and in exchange, he gave me a plate of bean sprouts and lime wedge instead. Haven't seen that for Kao Soy yet. Then came the utensils. And soon, the ginormous bowl, nay, tub, of KaSoy. The last time I saw a bowl this big in the Bay Area was decades ago in a pho house. They don't make extra larges like they used to in SF. I felt like Patrick, longing, staring with excitement and anticipation at SpongeBob's Pea-nut On-ion Sun-dae , trying to hold down the giggles and butterflies while my eyebrows are sparking. Except this Khao Soy actually SMELLS GOOD. And I still have my eyebrows. And I was not disappointed. The soup was HOTTT, with 3 Ts. The size of the bowl helped keep it that way. The surface of the lava lake was covered by the ground pork that defines Khao Soy. Completely. Just look at the picture. (I took a sip of the broth with the spoon before the picture) I promise you that I didn't go in with a camera in my hand, or point my phone as if I'm taking a video. Maybe it's the end of the day and they were feeling generous or just needed the ground pork gone. Well, I used my phone as a phone, and I didn't use the camera until this bowl came out. Just trust me. The broth was rich with notes of fermented bean paste and heavy notes of garlic, cut by the freshness of tomatoes. Heavy by the standards of a rice noodle soup. The lime helps. You might want to use an extra wedge too. Don't hold back though. There's a treasure hunt in progress. You see, within this bowl were a bunch of roast pork pieces. Quality roast pork pieces. The chicharron still very crispy when I got to each piece. (But that doesn't mean you should sin by letting the chicharron get soggy!) Seems like others have their roast pork left on top, but mine had sunk to the bottom when the Khao soy had landed. No big. This is like how won-ton noodle soups are served when you're Canto, the best stuff at the bottom. What impressed was that the roast pork was still crispy! The particular flat rice noodles used seems to be re-hydrated dried noodles. Normally a downgrade but in this case, a good move. Yes, fresh noodles carry the soup better, but in this boiling cauldron, the noodles used handled the heat much better and longer. After I had finished the noodles, the soup was still very hot, enough that I added the bean sprouts, which were still cooked to a point that they were absorbing the soup's flavor. I tried to finish the soup, but failed. Soooo close, but I have a drive to drive, and I don't want to have an accident on the way back. I don't know where the actual banos are in Los Banyos, and they're probably closed by the time I'm passing through. Now mind you, this is about as heavy as rice noodle soup will get. Take your time once you've found the chicharron. Share it if you can. Don't rush like me or you'll be burping garlic like I did rushing back to SF. If you are on a drive between SoCal and SF Bay or Sac, may I suggest taking the 99 instead of the 5? Instead of hours of just brown yellow and gas stations, you can stop at cities with proper markets. Instead of grab and go fast food or selling your kidney at Harris, why not enjoy some proper, affordable, sit-down chow in Fresno? Maybe this will open your eye to new foods as well! *(Yes. Yes. Terrible espanyol, if you can even call that Spanish, don't come at me with chanclas, pour favour!)

I was not a fan of the veggie eggrolls as it was soggy and the pork tasted old. The papaya itself was okay; not as flavorful as I wanted and we got it Lao style and medium spice. It was not spicy at all, very mild. I also ordered a green Thai tea and it was very tasty and something I don't see often in other local Thai restaurant. The prices were also kinda high compared to other Thai/Lao places. However, I would come back to this place to try their other dishes as I'm still interested in trying their other foods.
