When you go to a mall, what do you think when you hear food court? Probably low quality, tired staff just trying to get through the day. How this is a chain Thai place located in those types of areas is beyond me. The staff were super friendly, and very accommodating. As a vegetarian/pescatarian, it's sometimes hard to tell what can be swapped in what dishes. The cashier was very helpful when the special of the day I wanted (chicken pad thai sub tofu) turned out were made all in one, and showed me exactly how I could get the same thing with the tofu I want by getting the stir-fry instead. I got it very spicy, with some sriracha just incase, and the combination put things at the perfect spice level for me. I love my food HOT hot, so I'm very excited to say they don't skimp on the spice unlike many other places. The chef was very friendly, and speedy to the craft, having my food ready before I even reached the end of the counter! While the chaos of the mall sounds and smells may buzz around you, this place will shut it all out with one bite. Get on over and give it a try, you won't be sorry! read more

Food was good for mall food. They gave a ton of beef. Food was made to order. I ordered a spicy level "very spicy" that had zero spice. They fix it quickly. I will come again. read more

Thai Express - Pad Thai with beef - Thai Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

Went to the mall last Friday to meet up some friends while they shopped. One was already in the food court. I was pretty hungry so decided to grab a snack too. I haven't been to the mall food court in many years and had no idea that they now have Thai food. I ended up getting their Tom Yum Fried Rice special w/ chicken (not a snack, I know lol) and a Thai iced tea. Think my total was about $13-14? Not bad! The thai iced tea was okay. Needed a bit more thai tea flavor for me. The fried rice portion was pretty good amount. It was enough for 2-3 meals for me. I thought it had good flavor and the chicken was cooked perfectly. I dont like super dry rice so this was perfect! It's like they mixed tom yum soup into the fried rice. I do that at home too sometimes so I really liked this. read more

I've been to Thailand five times and everyone knows the food there is amazing. I tried the basil stirfry with beef over white rice and was shocked at how good it was! Especially for a food court restaurant at Chandler mall. Highly recommend eating here. read more

Was shopping at the mall last night with my family and my wife, sister and I try Thai Express, and what a mistake that was. It is the worst Thai Food and Mall court food I have ever tried. Everything is pre cooked, comes in and they reheat. The employees were on their phones and did have a care in the world. The 3 plates that we got tasted old. I would not recommend, and would not return. read more

The food is so tasty, no dairy in most of not all their food. So dairy free, there are gluten free options as well. The customer service is great, they are polite and helpful. The man at the counter helped me get water with just a splash of lemon aid and it was perfect. I got 2 kids meals for only $6 each and a adult meal and everything was so good! Both my kids loved their meals! Which is very rare they both said this is their new favorite place to eat! I highly recommend for a healthy place to take the kids! read more

Stopped here after a couple hours of shopping and got the pad thai with chicken, medium spice. it wasn't very spicy but i didn't mind because im sensitive to spice anyways. the food was delicious and the staff was so friendly! definitely will be coming back next time i shop at the mall read more

I've been to other Thai Express locations that are better. I got my usual Pad Thai and it was way too sweet here. It also was a little too wet with too much sauce. The Tofu was tasty though. read more

Thai Express - Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

I didn't really expect much but I was still slightly disappointed. If you're looking for curry, go elsewhere. I was honestly angry when I took a bite of what I thought was a potato but turned out to be a pineapple. Pineapple doesn't belong in Yellow Curry. The Curry felt very paste-like. And the rice is atrocious. The Orange Chicken is decent. It has a very orange zest flavor that Panda Express orange chicken doesn't have. I would avoid the Curry dishes and try their other dishes. Also, $3.25 for a bland Thai Tea is not worth it. It felt watered down the moment I was handed my drink. read more

I like this place. It's a good court spot so nothing fancy. I like the pad see ew and I like some spice so I get a 3. 2 just isn't enough. But I am surprised with how yummy it is. For a food court place in a mall my expectations are not high. It this place is super yummy. This is definitely going to be my go to spot when I need to grab some food while at the mall. read more

I got some of their food and there was a hair in it so me and my friend kindly went to return it but since I had already opened it they wouldn't let me exchange it or get a refund. The food it's self was very dry my friend fried rice was dry with barely any vegetables. Would not recommend. read more

During my first visit, I ordered spring rolls. They could have been quite good if they had been freshly made, but unfortunately, they were premade. I mentioned this to them and pointed out that spring rolls are best when served fresh. He immediately offered me a refund, which I declined. Instead, he offered me a complimentary meal that was made to order and absolutely delicious. The level of customer service I experienced here is rare and truly commendable. read more

Small gem found in Chandler mall. The food was absolutely delicious and you can control the amount of spicyness which is a huge plus for everyone. The service was so-so typical fast food vibes. The mall has plenty of seating so it was easy to sit and eat. Would definitely recommend if you enjoy Asian food. read more

Very generous serving of pad Thai!! I got a medium spice chicken pad Thai for about $10. It was more than enough to share. Love the pad Thai and Thai tea here!! read more

Thai Express - Chicken pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

I used to frequent this location (Chandler Mall) pre-pandemic and the service was hit or miss. I stopped coming, even post-pandemic because of the inconsistent service and food- but decided to try it out again since I heard it was under new management. Initially it was good! I came back 3 times in the span of a week. The first two times, the order and service went well. The food was great and all was accurate. On my initial visit I tried the Green Chicken and Shrimp Curry. Liked it, so got it again as well as the Panay Chicken and Shrimp Curry (lunch and dinner) on the second visit. There was a good amount of shrimp (I'd say 4-5 pcs) in both dishes and the shrimp weren't tiny scrawny pieces. The amount of chicken was also good. My third time was a poor experience. I recommended the place to my husband and though he was hesitant he was willing to try it. Ordered two green chicken and shrimp curries as well as the daily special, Tom Yum Chicken soup for the first time. Both Green Curries did not have any shrimp and only a couple pieces of chicken. We ordered it to go and didn't know it was inaccurate until we got home. Unfortunately the shrimp is an extra cost and having none was a bummer. Disappointing. I'm not sure I'll be back. I'm usually picking up on my lunch time and I'm looking for good tasting food that's consistently served quickly and accurately. read more

Very tasty delivery! We ordered the Pad Thai and the Green Curry and both were really tasty. They come in pretty good portion sizes where you can potentially split two entrees between three people if you want, and I felt the prices were reasonable. I ordered medium spicy on the Pad Thai and didn't really notice that much spice so I probably could have gone hotter, but the green curry seemed like an accurate reflection of my expectations for medium. Good delivery/takeout option for sure. read more

This is my second review on this place. I love the food here. Today I went and ordered food and sat down and ate at the food court. A very nice gentleman rang me up. I later then went up and asked for a water cup but a different gentleman that probably doesn't own the restaurant and gets paid minimum wage was refusing to give me a cup of water UNTIL the nice gentleman told him I order food earlier. If you are reading this (you know exactly who you are big fella), you don't get paid enough to protect the assets of this place. It's a cup of water, how greedy can you be? read more

Thai Express - a plate of noodles and meat - Thai Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

Ew. Not like the picture at all. Go somewhere else instead for mall food. Way too expensive for what it is...

food was just okay , noodles were not cooked all the way and were really chewy , pad thai didnt tastle authentic to actual pad thai ive had in regular sit down thai places , staff didnt seem like they wanted to be there when i gave them some feedback they just said okay , no apology for the food improperly cooked or anything , theres way better places for thai food around save your money and go somewhere else read more

We tried this place yesterday for the first time. What a waste of money the food was horrible. I ordered a chicken dish. I think there might've been maybe three medium pieces of chicken if it that most of it was noodles complete rip off don't bother going there. And it tasted like leftovers. read more

Love that I can have yummy Thai food at the mall! The mall!!! Wow, never thought this day would come. The portion sizes are big, prices reasonable. The mini soups are a perfect size to hit the spot, but not overfilling. I had the chicken pad Thai noodles and I cleaned my plate. Spicy level had my nose running, cleared my sinuses, just the way I like it! Friendly and fast customer service, a clean counter with condiments (hello Sriracha!), silverware, chopsticks, etc...Our food was made on the spot and served HOT. I was impressed with the quality and authentic taste. Great addition to the Chandler mall food court and I will definitely be back! Grab an iced Thai tea and enjoy! read more

i got the stir fry with beef and chili paste. the meat overall tasted stale/expired really didn't wanna finish my meal after eating the first 3 bites. the meal was very small for $10. will not go again. read more

5:45 and I went to order was told they are done for the day by all other restaurants in the food court are serving. Weird they would close earl two seeing if the owners know this. Was just going to buy dinner for 6 people. You lose my business from this point going forward. read more

Thai Express - Closed down at 5:45 PM on Sunday. - Thai Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

I'm sooooo excited to have found Thai Express!!! We were going to go to the Mexican restaurant next door, but I decided to look at TE's menu first. Lo and behold AND be still my heart, they clearly mark their items vegan and gluten free...AND there are a variety of options (rice, thin noodle, thick noodles, etc.) instead of the usual after thought of a single boring dish. I am also appreciative that I can have veggies instead of tofu, which is a standard vegan go-to. The owner is gluten free and clearly took time to consider other dietary restrictions. She was very friendly and helpful. If I hadn't asked if she was the owner I would not have known since she was down to earth and working as hard as her employee. Oh yeah, I guess I should mention that the fried rice and pad see ew are both great dishes. One side of caution is to specify when you order vegan if you want tofu or vegetables. I visited a second time and the manager put beef in the meal...he apologized and said it was a habit. Hopefully I took the hit for other vegans. They did refund the meal read more

Bad greasy food that isn't made with proper ingredients and was a waste of money. The soup broth is decent but not at all the way Thai soup is supposed to taste. Tofu was really chewy and salty. Never had tofu that chewy before. Noodles weren't cooked enough and were clumped together. Not much sauce or flavor other than salt and grease. Fast food and convenient location in the mall but not good food by any standards. Attitude of some staff was off putting. Overall it's subpar mall food. Wouldn't choose Thai Express in the future nor recommend. Their plastic cutlery is even worse and more flimsy than elsewhere. More expensive than it should be for rubbish. read more

It's nice to see a Thai place in a mall food court for a change. That said, let me review the food, and their eco rating in terms of disposable products used. Food: we ordered the green chicken curry, mango salad, and tum yum soup with shrimp, and Thai tea. Yes, it's unfair to judge this place against real Thai food, but the curry was tasty, with Curry on a bed of streamed rice. The tum yum soup was good as well. But, the mango salad wasn't a Thai "mango salad," but sliced sweet mango over a bed of lettuce. Yeah, for Thai foodies I'd pass on the salad. Oh, the That tea was ok too. Many places make bad Thai tea, and this was not bad. Eco score: well what would you expect from a mall food court, but typically tons of disposable containers and utensils. We were hopeful when we saw the Asian paper takeaway boxes, but when ordering for dine in, the curry came in a plastic plates. Sigh. Paper cup with plastic lid door the tea, and paper bowl for the soup, luckily. The salad was encased in a plastic bowl and lid. We used our own utensils and stainless steel stress straw to avoid the plastics. I would update my score to a four, if the business updates their plastic use, and makes a real mango salad! I'm rooting for you! read more

Thai Express - Ok this is technically a mango salad, but not even close to a genuine Thai mango salad. Mango slices on a bed of lettuce... - Thai Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

Food was decent but they got part of my order wrong, (I wanted noodles, they gave me rice)but I would give it another chance if I happen to be in Chandler again, I'm only here for the weekend for a family reunion. I just went there on a whim because I needed to go to the Apple store which was in the mall across the street from the hotel I was staying and was hungry because the hotel doesn't have room service, hence I found this place.. sorry, I know that has nothing to do with how the food was read more

My favorite is the padseeeww here. The noodles are still intact/long and not too broken like other places. Seasoning is ok. Anybody can keep the same standard here. Consistency is good enough for me. read more

This restaurant caught me by surprise! The food is cooked to order. I thought it was because it was my birthday. But come to find out that they do that for everybody! Lol. This has become my favorite spot. Great food, great service and great price. - Ben Jammin Cherry read more

I went today around 1:45 and I'm not sure if it was an off day or if this is how it always is but I waited more than an hour for my food. A few things went wrong. First, the cashier never gave me a receipt, instead he asked for my number so I assumed I would receive an electronic receipt with my food order number but nope. Was told the wait would be about 15 mins which I was ok with. After about 30 minutes I was a bit concerned so I went up to the cook side counter and informed the worker that I never got a receipt so I didn't know how I was supposed to know when my order is called. He found my receipt and told me the number. I assumed it would only be a little longer because the number they were currently on was only about 7 orders away. However, I stood there for another 30 minutes and went up to the counter again to which the worker then informed me my food had been sitting in a bag on the counter but the guy never called out my number. I was a bit frustrated but whatever. I then check my order at the table and then I see they forgot the imperial roll which should be included because I made it a combo. I went back and got that and was finally after an hour and 10 minutes able to sit and eat. The most disappointing part was that the pad see ew had no flavor and was very bland. I waited all the time for food that i ended up throwing away. read more

I actually come here every single day and it's the only food places that I could eat at every day and never get sick of. They offer very simple things and also some foods with various complexities involving Thai roots. I put my co-worker on to this place and he gets it every other day. The food is affordable and you get a bang for your buck. Also every member on the staff team is very friendly and most of them are perfectly bilingual. read more

As far as fast thai goes, this place was great! My dish was cooked to order, and they even accomodated me asking for a noodle-less pad thai! The food was delicious, the staff was friendly, and the service was fast. I especially liked that the cashier made sure I understood what I was ordering. They rolled with my custom order without blinking. I'll definitely hit them up again! read more

First off, yes I understand this is mall food. However, it literally has no flavor. I got a plate of "Chicken Thai Basil Stir-Fry" white rice and plain vegetables no sauce or spicy or flavor. Even though when you order you pick a flavor. read more

Thai Express - Chicken Thai Basil (untouched) this is how it came - Thai Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

For months and months we waited for this place to open and we were so excited to have a Thai option at the food court. What a big disappointment today! They didn't have anymore shrimp spring rolls to begin with. We ordered their pad tai with a hot spice level. We also got the general Thai chicken. The food came out piping hot because it was made fresh to order. The pad Thai did not taste like pad Thai and they used way too much fish sauce. The noodles were even different than the typical pad Thai noodles. The general Thai chicken looked good but it was like a blander version of Panda's orange chicken. Overall I didn't think the food was worth the money and probably won't be back. Also, spicy was not spicy :( read more

I had the tom yum soup and the pad sew ew. The tom yum soup was weak in flavor, was salty, and the chicken was bland. Some of the cilantro pieces in the dish could have been fresher. I probably shouldn't have high expectations for a thai place in a mall. However, their pad sew ew was acceptable with a strong soy sauce flavor. read more

The women who work here are very nice and helpful. I ordered a veggie spring roll with pad Thai. The spring roll was good and the peanut dipping sauce was great. The pad Thai sauce and noodles were tasty. The fried tofu was crispy. I'm not a fan of a ton a veggies in pad Thai- I could have done without the broccoli, baby corn, and peppers. I ordered medium spice--it was completely mild. My real objection is the mild case of food poisoning I got later that day. It's impossible to say for sure what did it, but I have a one strike rule with these things. read more
