Service was okay, though there was nobody working the door so I just walked myself to the bar to place on order. What grinds my gears the most is an automatic 3% added to the entire bill for nothing (service and something else they say). This is simply so they can advertise a "competitive" price, then charge more when you go to pay. Very trashy.

The Kentwood equivalent is this fabulous food court unwrapped into a strip mall, which includes Thai Express. Tidy, well lighted, and beautifully decorated with memories of Thailand, entering is a great first step. The staff are pleasant, and the service was quick and competent. No complaints at all. Things get weird with the food. I wonder if this is a Midwest thing, but everything was sweet. Weirdly sweet The surprise complimentary egg roll comes with a sweet dipping sauce. Not terribly on you unusual. The Tom Kha soup was sweet enough to overshadow the primary ingredient, the coconut milk. This is one of my staples, and this was the first time mostly I got was sweet. It was the highlight of my meal, and I would order it again, but I would steel myself for sweetness. I ordered the Pad Thai because it is the yardstick by which Thai restaurants are measured. A seemingly simple dish with a complex flavor profile. Let's start with the traditional sauce, usually made with tamarind pulp, fish sauce, and palm sugar. Instead, this seemed to have some sort of glucose sauce. No bueno. There also seem to be far less ingredients in this execution, resulting in a plate of noodles, fresh shrimp, ground peanuts, and a couple lime wedges. No sprouts for crunch. Nor anything else to round out a very basic preparation. Despite the award, this did not seem like a very happy interpretation of some really wonderful Thai dishes. I left the restaurant sad, and that's unusual for me. Don't let this be you.

Honestly, anything you get will be delicious. Even their soups of the day are bomb! Their chicken satay is a good appetizer, there is plenty of choices on the menu and even customized menu to create your own, this is great for those that want a very particular dish. I personally love their peanut curry noodles. It's my weakness :D (When I was younger and could eat gluten, the pad see yu was my ultimate favorite here, so highly recommend!) Also, there's plenty of GF options, just a reminder that they do charge you a small percentage for using your credit card.

My husband and I got the wings to start - we did half dry rub and half garlic pad thai glazed. The rub was SPICY but it was very flavorful - they served it with fresh cucumber slices so it took a bit of the edge off. The glazed wings had a very nice flavor as well. I think the wings must have been cooked from frozen, they didn't taste super fresh as the meat was a bit dry and tough but the outer crunch was nice! For meals we both got pad thai - I did shrimp and he did chicken. The noodles were way overcooked to the point of being gummy - we tried cutting them and that was also tough. Neither one of us could finish them because it was just too tiring to eat. The flavors, again were good with the fresh cilantro, cucumber and cabbage that came along with it. The sauce, while tasty, was a bit salty. I think that with some better attention to technique, these things could easily be rectified. Service was ok. The wait time for the entrees was a little long for lunch service but we weren't in a rush. I might come for apps but won't be ordering the pad thai again .
