I have been coming here for 10+ years. And it's honestly my fave Thai food place. So much better than Ocha in my opinion. The ambience is very casual, not that noisy but also not too quiet. The staff has always been amazing, nice, kind, and attentive to me and my family. They are also so nice to my kids. They have given them toys and stickers. We usually always order the same thing: Shrimp pad see ew Chicken chow mein Pork jerky with an extra side of their dipping sauce Shrimp Tom Yum (on the hotpot) with chili on the side since my girls don't eat spicy food And a large steamed white rice The food has always been so good! I wish I had complaints but it's always hit the spot. The pork jerky is so crispy! And their dipping sauce is ‍ we always ask for an extra one. I love that the chow mein is a really big portion, feeds all 4 of us. The pad see ew also great taste. And we live the soup! The perfect balance of lemon taste and with the chili we add after it always makes it better. We love eating the soup when we are catching a cold. Overall will always be my fave Thai food place and definitely recommend! read more

This place is decent. The orange chicken here is my favorite thing in their menu beside the chicken satay. Fresh and crunchy, thigh meat. Sauce is on point. Savory, sweet, tangy. Good stuff. Better when eaten fresh, not to go. Gets soggy and looses it's appeal after. Their prices are ok. The spot is pretty small. The staff is good, friendly. As far as Thai food goes, it's ok and close by to me, so I'm short on time and have a n itch to scratch for orange chicken, I go here to eat. Portions on the smaller side for the price, compared to some of my favorite Thai spots. read more

I ordered 3 small party trays for my grandson birthday-Shrimp Pad Thai, chicken Pad Se Ew, and pork jerky. All of the food was delicious. Waitress was very helpful and polite. I also ordered a drink -blended Thai tea. It's super good. The small party trays cost about $50-$60 depending on the meat you selected. The large party trays cost about $100. One good thing I have to mention is the restaurant open 9:00 am. I have time to get food and go to the bd party on time. read more

This place is a true hole in the wall, especially with the view of it from the parking lot. I was here with a few friends on a weekday for their lunch special. For about 15.99, the meals come with a select menu of entrees, a small salad, and a drink. Food was good, nothing crazy stand out. Can't be a meal deal or lunch special nowadays. My shrimp pad thai was a bit on the saltier side that my drink was gone before I was halfway done with the meal. My friends enjoyed their dishes very well, so it could've been my entree choice. I do hope to come again soon to try their other dishes. Service was the usual. For small venue, they did not need many people on hand. It only was an issue when the place had a few more patrons after we came. Our server was super sweet though despite all the chaos going on. Would still come here again for their lunch special. Not a big fan of its parking lot though. It's a bit chaotic but there is a parking structure connected with parking available. read more

One of the best restaurants I have ever been too. The food is always made to perfection with so much flavor. Since the orders are made to serve more than 1 it's a perfect spot to eat with friends/ family or even to have something to take for lunch the next day. Orange chicken is perfectly crispy. Noodles and rice are made extremely well. As well the milk tea boba is one of the best I have ever had. The servers are always so nice and friendly. This is a smaller restaurant so it's possible there isn't much seating but I would definitely wait for a table if I needed to. read more

Thai House Express - Chicken fried rice, orange chicken, chicken gyoza, pan fried chow mein with vegetables - Thai Near Me - Monterey Park, California

This is a quick take-out review for a pad Thai I was craving. They don't list tofu on their menu but after calling them they said they can make their dishes vegetarian. They also ask if you want fried or non-fried tofu which is nice! Usually other Thai restaurants just have fried or don't ask. This Thai House is near McDonald's not in the Ralphs plaza. The parking is crowded in this plaza but we were still able to find parking. Food was ready quickly and the portions were worth it. I liked that they had super fresh bean sprouts to the side which added a good crunch. The Pad Thai is not too oily and the flavor is not particularly strong but enough for me. It tasted way better with a squeeze of lemon (which I added at home). They didn't give any citrus wedges but did give 1 soy sauce packet and some chili. read more

3.7 stars I'm torn. I ordered the pad thai lunch special which also came with rice and a side salad. On the one hand, I like that their lunch specials are a generous size, generous meat-to-noodle ratio, and comes with a drink. On the other hand, the flavor of the pad thai was dull, the white rice was a bit too dry, and not worth driving 20 minutes to pick up. So, here's my recommendation. If you have high blood pressure and need low sodium everything, the pad thai here is probably a good match for you. The portion of the lunch special is also big enough to be split into 2 meals unless you're a big eater. And if the pad thai is still too salty for you, I recommend mixing it with the white rice. Annnd I'm not joking b/c that is exactly how a family member of mine has to eat certain foods that are deemed too salty for his high blood pressure. Anyways.... I would definitely come back if I was in the area, but I probably will not be driving from home just to get the lunch specials here. If you work or live in Monterey Park, I think this is a very good low-key Thai restaurant to dine in or take out. And the fact that they're still in business means that they're doing a lot of things right and that I just happened to have picked something that might not be their star dish. Final verdict: middle-of-road, not bad, but not great. Will come back if in the area. read more

Thai House Express - Pad thai lunch special - Thai Near Me - Monterey Park, California

I'm sadden! What was once my favorite go to Thai food place has gone down severely!! They were known for their Orange chicken, after Covid most if not all of their food items have been disappointing. Today I ordered an Orange chicken and rice entree the "Orange chicken" was nothing but skin dipped and fried in flour and drenched in orange sauce ! I called and of course the woman offered to make me a new plate but having to drive back and hunt for parking is not worth it . After 10 years of patronizing I do wish them the best but I have had enough bad experiences I don't think I can continue to support . read more

The service is incredible and the food is delicious. Very family oriented. My favorite is the mango sticky rice and seafood soup.

The food meets expectations. I had chicken pad Thai. The noodles were good, the chicken fell a bit flat. The customer service is friendly enough with a casual ambiance. Overall it's an adequate option. read more

Thai House Express - Chicken pad thai - Thai Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Service towards other customers including my self one is required to show your California ID when using your credit card. I wasn't expecting that requirement to purchase food. I stated I didn't have it on me and the 2 people behind the counter were very rude, making facial expressions and talking to them selves in their language. I told them I was sorry and the woman looked at me with distain. I was surprised to see her behavior while she mumbled in her language. She shouted out loud (as if I had done something bad) "Next time you bring ID." I replied "Next time I won't come here." Totally unnecessary to treat a customer in that manner. I don't understand the attitude and rudeness. On the other hand, the food is delicious, Fresh and well served. I hope they didn't do something to my food being they were upset. read more

My girlfriend and I were Hangry and looking for a spot to eat in the evening(9ish). Good thing this place was open until 10pm. My gf was skeptical because of its reviews. I , on the other hand, told her "let's give this place a chance and give our own review." Upon arriving , we were seated immediately. The service was great. We ordered tofu pad Thai and Tom kha soup. The food was tasty and came with large portions. My gf said "I would come back!" The price was good. read more

This place has been my go to for Thai food, It's a small hole in the wall that you might miss especially where it's located. I usually go dine in with family and the service is always fast, waitresses very attentive, and the food is amazing! You get big portions so we usually have enough left to take home. Their boba is also worth a try since they have different types of options available. I definitely recommend coming here! read more

Been going here for few years, amazing customer service the food is outstanding as always! My go to is orange chicken by itself, large order of rice on the side and tofu soup. Literally have food for the whole day at work! Highly recommended! read more

Thai House Express - Good tasting food - Thai Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Longstanding business and presently surprised 5/5. I'm fairly new to the MP/SGV area and I always had the impression the other Thai restaurant in MP was the best Thai restaurant in the area given their highly touted and number of reviews. Thai House Express (THE) is my new go-to for my Thai food cravings and slightly cheaper! We opted for the typical: 1. Pad See Ew 5/5 - nice sear "wok hay" for those who know. Good mix of veggies and proteins. Beef slightly dry but would prefer pork or fried tofu next time. 2. Pad Thai 4.5/5 - saucy and savory. They accommodated our request for no bean sprouts. Portion fairly large. 3. Panang Curry - 5/5 very flavorful and recommend the pork (juicy) option. Comes in a large container. Definitely my fav. Make sure to order rice or make your own if you did take out like me, leftovers for dayssss Definitely give THE a try! I had my doubts, but boy was I wrong! Still better IMO even though we don't get the bonus "fried wontons or veggie egg rolls" IYKYK. read more

I ordered food to go. This is my first time trying Thai food in this area. I have to say this shrimp fried rice is amazing. And the lady who took my order made it right. The cook made the food awesome. When I walked in the place it was nice and peaceful. Maybe next time I will bring my family in to eat inside. Thank you for the great fried rice. read more

Certain dishes were more then others but the quality of the food makes up for it delicious very tasty. Be ready for a line going there to sign in for a table and wait. Service was good really fast when starving. Great atmosphere there like a nice family restaurant read more

Great food, great service. Been here several times and they never disappoint. Love the phad Thai.

Better than Ocha in my opinion, their orange chicken is fire. Best with the fried rice and pad see ew

It's so tasty here. The workers always greet you with a smile. And the location is very quiet unless it's busy. You can definitely have a great time with friends or family. read more

I've come here for years. Their food is delicious and good quality. My favorite is the chicken larb with extra cashews I rarely eat out because I am sensitive to foods that have too many preservatives, use old grease and stuff like that. I never have any issues after eating at Thai House Express I never have stomach or joint issues. Most restaurants upset my stomach or make my joints hurt the next day but not when I eat here. Also the staff is very friendly and super attentive. Love this place! read more

This is one of our favorite restaurants, coming here for more than 10 years. But since they changed owners the flavor is not the same. This past Sunday we placed a big order to go and the flavor totally different. The beef broccoli, chicken rice and chow me in with no flavor. The service still good, the young lady, who's been there for a long time it's really nice, very kind. Hopefully they can bring the original ingredients back read more

Used to come here a lot during Elac and before covidw but now I haven't came I. Awhile but I always like how clean it looks but it's embarrassing second time coming w boyfriend and I see something unsanitary happen and makes me second guess if I should continue going or eating the food I got today . I would've gave more stars but today lady w blonde hair dropped plastic utensil's not once but twice on the floor and she gave to customers . They had kids with them too so that's pretty messed up . Any ways she saw me see her and still proceeded to give them it . Also ordered chow mein combination and literally only two shrimps , it's almost so sad it's funny lmfao . What was the point of combination if only two shrimps ... and rice taste old , hard and stale . read more

The food was good but the service was not. I asked for a cup of water when placing my order and it never came. I had originally asked for a larger table and they sat us at a two person table. It appeared my comfort was not important and the tables had to be kept open for larger groups. I would definitely purchase food here again but I would take it to go. read more

Went here for the first time in a long time recently. It is a small place but there is a lot of parking available in the shopping center it's located in. They do have keys to a bathroom that is outside of the restaurant. They are relatively quick with the food which is nice if you're in a rush. The servers are super patient if you need a little extra time figuring out what you want. I don't think the food was as flavorful as I remember and actually seemed a little too oily but I'll definitely go back and try something else​ read more
