The hostess was rude. As soon as we walked in, her only words were to ask if we wanted a order to go. When we said we'd like to eat there, she walked us to the table without saying anything, and tossed the menus on the table. Then she sat down and finished her dinner. When another lady came in, who she obviously knew, she was friendly with her. Our waiter was nice. The fried rice was pretty salty, and it "tore up" both of our stomachs within an hour of eating. Neither one of us will give it a second shot. read more

This modest little place serves The BEST Thai food I have had in Portland. We eat Thai everywhere we go around town and while travelling and this is still our favorite. The green curry is delicious. We eat at this restaurant 2-3 times a month. There is nothing fancy about the restaurant itself, but the food is divine! read more

First day we moved out to Gladstone we decided to get some food while we unpacked, and found this place online. The pad-Thai was very good. Mildly spiced for myself and medium spice for my husband. And that is where our good fortune ended. Second time, ordered the same thing, but this time his was so hot he could not eat it, and mine was also much spicier than the mild I had requested. Third, and last time, we ordered mild and medium again. Mine was fine and this time my husbands was okay except that all the spicy noodles were on top and inedible, so he had to remove them and basically ate it mild like myself. Needless to say that we will not be returning here as the food is just to unpredictable to risk wasting money on. read more

I have a thing for Thai food... Even traveled to Bangkok a few years ago.. It's just as delicious here in the states as it is Thailand. So if the mood strikes you, I'd definitely recommend this establishment...the Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles are to die for!!! read more

The curry here is absolutely delicious, huge portions for a very reasonable price. Also, all the employees here are very friendly. One of the favorite Thai places in Oregon read more

We've been eating at Thai Express for several years now. We often will get our orders to go, but have had great experiences with the friendly staff when eating in. The food has never disappointed. The peanut sauce is the best around, making it worthwhile to travel out of our way for Thai Express. Highly recommended. read more

I gave this place three tries and won't be back. It's getting two stars instead of one because I HAVE had worse and the service was friendly and fast. Also, the portions are huge *but* the food is incredibly greasy. One time I received my red curry without the vegetables it said it came with on the menu...and another time it came with veggies that weren't listed - I actually didn't mind that as I like all vegetables but I believe the menu should accurately list what you will or won't get! read more

This place was such a pleasant surprise the first time I went - you'd never guess such delicious food would come out of this tiny , weirdly-named restaurant across from the Dollar Store in Oregon City. But it's so, so good. The Drunken Noodles are killer, Pad See Ew is bomber, Tom Yum soup is the best I've ever had - the list goes on. Service is great and the woman who is always working there when we stop in is so cheerful and friendly, and always makes us feel welcome. Highly recommended! read more

Drunken noodles are the BOMB! Fresh shrimp salad rolls and chicken satay are also very good! The Papaya sale is my favorite dish here though! read more

I don't think there are enough good words I could use to actually describe this place. The food is amazing the people are nice and the location is great. My personal favorite is their pad thai and the basil rice and they're mixed appetizer platter I'm also a real big fan love their salad wraps. This is my absolute favorite Thai place I've been to others but none of them really hold up in my personal opinion this is the best you can get without actually going to Thailand. read more

Happy as a clam the husband found this place! We lived in San Fran and Thai was a regular in our line up, fast forward to life in Az...no good Thai to be found. We were downy clownies. We ordered pad Thai, fried tufu, and red curry...everything was awesome! All four of us devoured every single bite. The staff is friendly, not really in your face like some places...they let you take your time. Also, the staff was doing lunch at the same time as us and were nice enough to share their oranges with the terror tots. We will be back, oh yes, we will be back! :-) read more

This place is a special little secret. It's truly as good as it gets, there isn't a place in the world I'd rather eat. We have gone here as a family for years, and have come to know the family who owns it well. AMAZING FOOD!! Always polite and kind servers. read more

I feel bad, the family that runs this place is very sweet and attentive, but i feel I've tasted better. For Being on McLoughlin and in a crappy strip mall they're good, but they charge about $3 more than everywhere else I've been and for what I feel is lesser quality. read more

Great vegan and vegetarian options. I had mango curry, very good.

I love this place and visit often. They won me over when I was pregnant, they stayed, and made me pad ke mow 15 minutes before closing. They are always so nice and they have it ready so fast if you walk in. I would recommend!!! The shopping center it is in, is kinda old, don't let it throw you! This place is delicious! Also, I have never been there without there being at least 3-4 tables with people in them. read more

Wasnt impressed at all. Table cloth are filthy and covered by glass top. Server was slow. I was craving thai fried rice but closest I got was a chicken stir fry dish which had maybe 4 pieces of chicken in it. Also ordered crab rangoons. Those tasted horrible. Never going back again read more

In my opinion this is the best Thai food you can get in the OC area. We have tried them all and Thai Express is our go to place. We usually get the glass noodle salad which is awesome and has some kick to it. Their pad thai and pad se ew are excellent. Sauce for the salad rolls is awesome. I have yet to get something there I didn't like. We always get the food to go so I can't say how the dining experience will be eating in, but the people are always friendly and I have yet to see anything to make me not want to go there. read more

I've only had the chicken pad Thai so it's the only thing I can review. It was decent and had a large portion. I've ordered it take out several times and it does usually take longer than they say but it's not bad food. It's not the best either. It's close to me and one of the only Thai places in the lack luster area so I'll probably be back. read more

It has a great yellow curry. The table was sticky and my silver ware was dirty but I enjoyed the meal. I will go back.

We eat at Thai Express monthly. The food is always cooked fresh. Our favorites are their Tom Yum and Tom Kah soup, their Cashew stir-fry and the Hot Basil stir-fry. The drunken noodles are good too. The place is a little run down and the family operated service isn't formal but it is quick and we have found the servers to be friendly and the price is right. This is fast food, minus the junk. read more

Great Thai food at a reasonable price. Yes you can find better Thai but you're going to pay more. We eat here all the time because it's close and the owners are very nice. read more

LOVE the Crunchy Thai Basil Chicken...extra spicy! They even put Spicy Eggplant on the menu for my husband and I! The appearance is run down and grimy - but the food has kept us coming back since we braved it 3 years ago. Great family that runs it. Don't be put off by the interior - the food is fabulous! read more

Food is great. Plan on adding 15-20 minutes (they always tell you 15-20 minutes) to their takeout estimate though. It has never been ready when they tell us it will be. There is never more than one person at the counter/serving. People eating in always have priority over call-in/carryout orders. We have come to pick up an order and have had people come in later, be seated, order, and be eating and finished before we get our food to take home. This last time 45 minutes after we ordered takeout and after I asked about our food twice we received it. Meanwhile everyone who ordered takeout while we sat and waited got the same wait time.. 15 minutes. I asked how she could just keep saying that. Her reply: nothing but a smile. We will NOT come back. This is no way to run a restaurant. read more

Exactly what I was looking for in a generic, reasonably priced Thai place. Service was totally great for our to-go order. The flavors in my Pad See Ew and my husband's Pad Thai were awesome. The Pad See Ew was packed with fresh veggies! Portion sizes were huge. Four stars instead of five just because it cost a little more than it seemed like it should. read more

Usually pretty good food. My son loves the pad thai. However, Saturday he was asked to not take more than one tiny hot oil container(and I'm talking itty bitty). That's petty. I think with the price of the meal they can spare some hot oil for the satisfaction of their customer!! read more

I never write reviews for anything, but after today, I MUST! I love Thai food, and was craving a good yellow curry with tofu. UNFORTUNATELY...THIS THAI RESTAURANT WAS OUT OF TOFU! How does that happen at Noon on a wednesday? So I said I would settle for chicken, and boy did I "settle." The chicken was unlike I had ever seen, very dry and sliced into paper thin peices that caused it to be chewy. The curry was also the worst I have ever tried, watery and bland, except for the spiciness, which is not normally characteristic of a yellow curry. The only thing I could taste was the spicy. The Potatos were also very over cooked, and whatever the other veggie was, it was horrible and there were so many of them! I was extremely disappointed in my lunch and I hope to save anyone else the trouble of ever eating here! read more

My wife and I ordered Teriyaki chicken and when the plate arrived we looked at each other. It didn't look like chicken. We double checked the menu to ensure we'd ordered correctly. We had. I said something to the waitress about it not being chicken. She said, "Oh it's not from the breast, it's from a different part of the chicken." When I paid the bill, I told her again it wasn't chicken and said to check with the cook. An older woman came out from the kitchen and refused to back down. We're pretty sure it was pork. The taste, what little there was, and texture were completely different from chicken. We won't be eating there again. read more

The food is decent but I've noticed a bill I had from them with a few extra dollars added, and when I mention it she got all defensive but redid her math. Beware check your bills read more

Food was yummy.. But was surprised at the cost. Between internet price and the price in the restaurant. The menu on internet said 5.50 and got charged 9.00 per item. Check pricing before pickup. read more

Thai ginger with chicken and Masaman Curry was Bomb!!! And the appetizer was called heaven, I guess that's cause it is a gift from above, so delicious! read more

I was very surprised to see a couple of poor reviews for my local Thai place. I guess everyone has bad days. I have been a fairly regular customer here for three or four years. They make the best Tom Ka I've ever tasted. I know, everyone has it - this one's the best. The pumpkin dishes are not too sweet like some places I've been. The massaman curry is just right. The red curry is excellent. Don't come here for atmosphere. The compressors on the equipment are annoying, but the staff is always very friendly, the place is clean and you can't find better basic Thai. read more

Amazing food! My second time there today. The first time I did take out so I would have something for dinner at work (I work nights) so I didn't eat it until 6 hours later but it was great reheated. This time I got to have some right away, it was so so good, especially hot off the grill. Even my very picky 5 year old loved it. Grab yourself a Thai Iced Tea while your there too. read more

Must say, I was impressed with how much I've enjoyed this place. It's a total hole in the wall next to the dollar tree in OC and I wasn't expecting much. The restaurant itself is pretty plain, not a lot of ambiance. However, the people that run this little stripmall Thai restaurant place is on the list of the friendliest people I've ever met and they are gracious hosts. Prices are inline with most Thai restaurants in the area however, their portions are bigger. Never had a bad meal here, menu is pretty standard. The Pad Se Ew is a little light on noodles for my taste. I don't usually get Pad Thai, but I really enjoy it here, they don't skimp on the ingrediants. The spring rolls are also really good, they make a super thin crispy version. When in season, they make a very good sticky rice with mango for dessert. Not a place that I would take someone I wanted to wow but the food is pretty good and is becoming my standby for take out in OC. read more

So good!! I ordered red curry with chicken to go today, with a side of hot oil. It was delicious!!

Horrible service. I called to order to-go asking for no carrots and no onion in my meal. They told me that's to complicated and to call back tomorrow. Never been so disappointed. read more

Best food ever people are great treat you like family kids love the salad rolls Yaki soba noodles spicy beef salad is great basil chickens awesome read more

The coconut milk they put in their soup was stretched with regular cow's milk because I'm lactose intolerant and as soon as I got back home I was back and forth in the bathroom for an hour. I called them and they denied putting cow's milk in the soup but trust me they did. Coconut milk does not bother me whatsoever and I know what cow's milk does to me and this was the same exact body response. I won't go into detail, people who are lactose intolerant know the horrible cramping and pain diarrhea etc. I had to have my wife run to the store and purchase lactase immediately. I'm getting over it now. Beware. read more

Awesome pad Thai. Huge portions. My wife and I discover this place after going to the dollar store next door. It's definitely a diamond is the rough, don't let that keep you from enjoying their great food. The spiciness is a little more than other Thai places so be warned if you don't like it hot & spicy. read more

I love all Thai food. For me there is only good and great Thai food but today I learned differently. We ordered mussaman curry with beef and green curry with chicken for take out. The beef in the mussaman was a strange rubbery texture that was like no meat I've ever eaten and I don't want to think too much about what it could have been. The green curry was tinted with green food coloring or something because the chicken and vegetable were all stained a weird green color. Green curry is okay but green chicken is not. It was a couple dollars more expensive than usual Thai meals so I was expecting it to be of the great variety but it definitely was not. read more

I drive past many other Thai restaurants just to get to this one. Their Pad Thai is always delicious with generous portions at a fair price. I like the consistency of this place and have converted others from their favorite Thai restaurants to here instead! It doesn't take them long to put out hot n fresh food to-go. Highly recommended. read more
