Even though the menu had everything from Chinese to Japanese to Thai food, it's a family run business that provides great dishes. We ordered Pad Thai and Pad Kra Prow Gai and it was great. The Pad Thai was pretty sweet but delicious. The Pad Kra Prow was out of this world! The veggies were super fresh and the green beans were cooked perfectly. If you're in Placerville craving something other than American food, this is the place to try! read more

Thai Noodle Express - Thai Near Me - Placerville, California

Stayed in Placerville after a trip to Lake Tahoe and discovered this small Thai restaurant on Main. You order at the counter. The cashier/order taker was very polite. I was looking to go light though about the Thai Chicken Salad. He recommended the Thai Beef Salad. Outstanding tender beef! Lots of fresh clean crisp veggies and lettuce. The dressing was excellent, fish sauce based. Salty and tangy! read more

Food is super fresh and taste great. The staff is super nice and make great recommendations if you want to try new things.

This place is GREAT! So fresh, so delicious! Very happy we have a spot like this in Placerville.

Enjoyed the pad Thai and spring rolls. Cute little shop. Friendly fast and tasty. I will definitely be coming back. The pad Thai has chicken and shrimp in it which I thought was new and delicious. Spring rolls were crunchy and good read more

First time here. We were on our way to southern CA. I was craving Thai food and stopped by for takeout. It was one of best Thai food I had and the young man who helped me was sincerely kind and friendly. Thai food is one of my favorites I have been to many Thai restaurants and have been to Thailand, I ordered Pad Se Ew and crispy spring rolls. They were delicious and authentic. Highly recommend this restaurant. There is a big parking across the street from the restaurant if you can't find street parking. read more

They closed that location and are in process of moving to down the street. Not sure if open yet. Voice mail says by Halloween but not sure since I can't get a hold of anyone there read more

Finally tried Thai Noodle Express in Placerville and it did not disappoint! The Pad Thai, gyoza and Thai ice tea were delicious. The staff was super friendly and quick. They treated everyone like an old friend. I would definitely recommend this place and looking forward to trying something new. read more

I hate to give a negative review to a small business but this food was not just okay, it was gross. Everything was soggy and flavorless. Even the fried rice was a soggy mess that just tasted like chicken juice. read more

Friendly staff delicious food! The soups are amazing and the yellow curry chicken is a favorite

The gentleman who I ordered from in person was super helpful and friendly. My boyfriend has cancer, and due to trying to give him the best chance at beating the disease, we both are vegan (NO DAIRY, EGGS, MEAT). The server was informed of our dietary restrictions, and he assured me it would be no issue. I ordered: *Spring rolls *Yellow curry *Drunken noodles (his suggestion) *Pad Thai The Drunken Noodles had tons of scrambled eggs in them. We called the store, and the front server apologized, saying there should be no eggs and that it was an accident because he didn't specify our order. Cool. No big deal. But it should have been taken care of by the establishment at no cost to the patron. We live on the Divide and just paid $12 + tip for a course we cannot eat. This is one instance, but I could only imagine how they rectify other order mishaps.. Despite that issue, the food was delicious. I'm super bummed we had to throw out a quarter of our order. read more

The food was decent. However, the customer service was extremely uncomfortable. It was a young woman who took long blinks whenever I took a second longer to think or asked a question. She made the effort to let me know I was a burden with her sighs. We stayed in Placerville for three days and never returned to this establishment. read more

Nice folks behind the counter. Hot food with a smile. I plan on returning. I had yellow curry with tofu. Tasty.

Super bummed writing this as this place used to be one of our favorites. They have new staff in the kitchen and the food just isn't the same. The last three times we tried it, it was not good at all. You order not spicy, you get spicy, order no peanuts, you get a ton of them, order extra sauce, you get barely any, extra noodles, you get less than half the usual amount. Three times we have had to just throw the food out as we live a bit far from main street. Tonight was the last time we'll go there. Used to love this place and the food, now it's just gross :( read more

2 for 2 on this place. Got to try the croquette (pretty average compared to competition) and the Chicken pad se ew, amazing flavors! Of course also got my spicy tonkatsu like last time and the consistency needs to be noticed, spot on! If your in the area, this place is a must! read more

Best Thai / Ramen fusion place in the foothills.

Excellent food. Drunken noodles and massaman curry were both very good. The drunken noodles especially had a lot of flavor to them. By comparison the curry a little less so, but I think that's normal. There menu doesn't explicitly list the vegetarian options, but states that most things can be made vegetarian, which proved to be the case for everything we asked about, and their tofu was quite tasty. It's a really tiny place, with only 3 or 4 tables, and to use the bathroom you have to walk right through the kitchen (don't know if they regularly allow people to do that, or if we got lucky). Nice staff. read more

Very good food and they will alter dishes for you, but get it to go because the small space inside is Freezing!!!!

Terrible. First, let me clarify that the flavor of the food here is incredible. However, after coming here multiple time I have started to notice how inconsistent it is. Sometimes the portions are large, sometimes you are paying for rice with sauce. They are moving locations and today my food came with missing ingredients (my spicy green bean dish didn't have green beans, and the yakisoba didn't have mushrooms and was a mushy mess). I have a feeling they were low on ingredients due to moving, but they should tell their customers that their order would be completely different than expected. Go to Thai House in Cameron park. WAY better and great service. read more

This place is a family favorite. We try to eat out at/take-out from a local restaurant at least once a week to support our local economy. We're trying lots of new places, but find ourselves here a disproportionate number of times. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Even before COVID-19, seating was extremely limited. So, definitely plan on taking your order to go. read more

I guess it is barely passable Thai food. If you do not expect authentic Thai then you won't be disappointed. If you want real Thai food keep on looking. read more

The food was fantastic! We're so happy to have a Thai/noodle place nearby that is so delicious! My whole family loved it! Also, some of us are vegan and they easily accommodated our dietary requests. We're looking forward to going again soon. read more

Thai Noodle Express - Menu board - Thai Near Me - Placerville, California

Delicious Thai food! We love the Tom Ka Gai soup, red curry chicken & chicken pho, which comes with all the lovely rice noodles, fresh basil (yum!), bean sprouts, hot peppers. Delish! Pad thai is also very good. We have 2 family members who are gluten-free, 2 who are not, and the staff here never mixes up any order. Very accommodating, friendly and the food is FRESH, tasty, healthy, made with care & love. Grest prices & value too. read more

Simply delicious food, the broth is so flavorful you'll want to use a straw. Really outstanding!

I was sick & in desperate need of soup. The folks here are nice & food just okay. Really small and kitchen is right in the open, so I couldn't help but notice how unkept the place was. A lot of frozen, fried & refried food. Nice enough staff & just okay. Decent ramen, etc. read more

I've tried this place twice. The first time the BD to go. I asked for the drunken noodles without meat or bell peppers. Just noodles and onions and make it spicy. It came out with just noodles and onions. So, more like a pad see ew, right? It was of course bland. The second time I went to pick up. Man. It is small and HOT inside. They had the doors opened but no a/c, it was pushing 100 and the kitchen is bigger than the dining area so all that heat was just being pushed out front. But I saw one table there and another guy sitting outside eating in the blazing sun. So if you're a sucker for the sun, then this is your go to place in the summer. I think I ordered drunken noodles again. They once again did not make it spicy. But the taste was better because the basil was added. Ordered pad see ew for the kiddo and it was a great base. My Thai tea was a let down. Very watery, light in color, and barely any cream. The boba is nice but I want my full flavored full fat Thai iced tea that is common in all Thai restaurants. Being Thai, I listened to the employees in the back. Everyone is friendly and my food came out when it said it would. We don't always eat Thai at home. But when we get a craving for it we may come back. There's two Thai restaurants in town. One is closer and has an easy parking lot. read more

This is our favorite Thai restaurant in town! They are very accommodating to vegan options and all of their food is really delicious :-) we pretty much eat here every week. read more

Tiny little spot. Very friendly server in the front to take your order To-Go. The food was fresh and very flavorful. If your passing by the town of Placerville and are feeling a little hungry, this is a place you want to try. The spicy chicken wings were amazing! read more

Stumbled in here without using Yelp, and it was phenomenal. So good it compelled me to go on here and write a 5-star review. Pad see yew with added eggplant, tonkatsu with a side of curry ($3) to add a little to ramen, then the rest with a side of rice is perfect. read more

Food is delicious but this is now the second time we have have called in an order and placed an order for spring rolls with shrimp and both times have gotten veggie. And when I went in the told me I was gonna have to pay extra, and didn't care and just kept say he wrote down veggie when we had said shrimp. read more

Ok so here we go. My husband and I went and ordered the pad thai with shrimp and chicken. Sooooo there were 3 shrimp which were saute'd separate from the actual pad thai. They had no flavor and were just placed on top of the noodles. Their were 2 small chunks of chicken and a big pile of noodles that tasted like they were tossed in ketchup. They didn't even put any peanuts on it. I was looking forward to peanuts! We also ordered coconut shrimp appetizer and that was excellent. I went back to work and other co workers said they loved it and maybe they were having an off day. Off day or not this wasn't a cheap meal and restaurants should be consistent all the time. read more

This is the JAM!!!! Oh my goodness, I have had lots of thai food in many cities, and this is up there with the best. It's a teeny little joint, but a great cozy space. I've eaten both inside the restaurant here and taken the food to go... and wow, I'm so very grateful for this place! Thai cuisine is one of my favorite foods and I am seriously so uplifted that this place does not disappoint. My expectations were not high, since this little space on Main has never been all that successful as far as past ventures go. But they nail it at Thai Noodle! It is so fresh and yummy and when you save the leftovers it's JUST AS GOOD the next day! I also had ramen here and it was great. I highly recommend the drunken noodles and pad thai, which I've done with shrimp. And they will also do most dishes without any meat, all veggie, even tho the menu board is mostly meat they'll sub tofu and veggies, no problem. WE ARE SO LUCKY to have this on Main. It's something I have wished for for, oh... about TWENTY YEARS. I can't wait to try more here. read more

Although the food was very good, I can't recommend a restaurant that takes 30 minutes to make your food but only takes 5 minutes to eat. Just not enough food read more

We were excited to try this new little Asian cuisine spot on Main Street. Greg and Minnie were very helpful when taking out orders. They were also very open to suggestions as this is a brand new location for them. I ordered the khao soi noodles which were perfect, and just how I expected. My husband ordered the tonkatsu ramen. He loved it. I'm picky with ramen, and I think they can improve on the broth a tad bit (with garlic and sesame flavor, was a bit "porky") but the noodles were cooked to perfection. Not easy to do. My daughter ordered the pho, and that tasted exactly how we expected. Yummy and simple. My youngest ordered the teriyaki chicken and rice. Something very hard to mess up, and they came out above average on that dish. Sweet, savory, grilled and flavorful. Ordering for 4 was a bit pricey, about $50, but will be an awesome date spot for 2. We will definitely be coming back. read more

First time coming here...and won't be the last! I ordered the chicken drunken noodle, the vegetables were fresh and crisp, the sauce was very tasty as it had a tiny bite of hot to it but it was very, very good. I also had the mango and sweet rice. I'm not a huge fan of mango but this dish came sliced on top of the sweet rice which had a coconut milk sauce on it. The mango was delicious, not over ripe nor under ripe, simply perfect. I sat and ate my lunch inside the tiny restaurant. The cook and servers were friendly and efficient. Definitely will come back to try other dishes. read more

Soooo good. Such a cute little place with authentic Thai dishes and Ramen and Pho. We were about to have a salad at a more popular place. But this place beats any kind of usual salad at way lower prices. I got the Chicken drunken noodle and its chock full of chicken and vegitables and flavor. Love this place, we will stop here from now on whenever we visit. read more

The people working here are super friendly. I wish I could leave a better review. Gave the pad Thai another shot, just no flavor, super bland. Maybe their other food options are better, they have such great reviews. Maybe I am just ordering the wrong thing. read more

I have tried several of their ramen. Near the end of 6 months of chemo, I had a bone dry mouth and food had no flavor. I found soup the easiest to eat. This restaurant & their ramen was a godsend! Their ramen broth is homemade and full of flavor! The Spicy Tonkotsu & Tom Yum Shrimp Ramen are really good! I always had more than enough for 2nd day servings. On Doordash orders, I would ask for extra broth & would heat the ramen for breakfast, to help hydrate my mouth from sleep. So much flavor! My mom thought I was nuts, lol, but you do what you need to. Now that everything is back to normal, it's even better! Yum! read more
