Food tends to be good im just sick and tired of not getting what I ask for. I asked for beef pai tie and always get chicken. my drive is 40 mins. Going to have to check my food before I leave from now on. I do not like chicken this is a piss off

July 16, 2024

The quantity of good is not worth the amount. Also, the taste is not as expected for Thai cuisine. Food was like noodles cooked with some kind of sauce and sautéed vegetables added to it.

June 23, 2024

Me and the wife both ate there, and we both got sick from it. Not your normal sick, but a complete purge in 4 hours. The service was also sub par, they both behaved like they only cared about the hours. We're not eating here again. Besides, for $19 I could get better value somewhere else.

Super easy to deal with and extremely friendly staff. Food has always been 10/10 and service is just as good. Their Thai soup is a favorite in our house!

November 22, 2021

Let’s the pictures explain. (The cook used too much oil that the left over liquid was mostly oil). Normally, the leftover liquid like this should be in sauce-like form, edible at least, but this is more than 90% oil. Imagine you eat rice with this amount of oil.

February 23, 2021

Yes, "Basil" chicken "fried" rice As uncle Roger said, if your rices too wet, you f up, theres no way to save it. I can't understand why they use wet rice and try to persuade customer believes it's fried rice. Also I can hardly find a single Basil leaf inside my order, I asked them wheres my Basil at, they just simply grab some leaves and put it into my rice box, they are not sorry at all, not even an apology. I want a Basil leave chicken fried rice, not a fried rice with some leaf salads.

May 15, 2019

The food came drenched in sauce and somehow was still awful. The only palatable taste was some random spice(which I did not order). If I wanted a sticky box of wet rice I would have eaten out of a dumpster... The customer feedback page is a dead end link

November 6, 2016

No drama, consistent pricing and reasonably prepared food. Edit: Down to 1 star guys - loved their product and was greeted to a huge metal ribbon in my meal. Sitting in top - the manager was no help in rectifying the situation so yeah... 1* for this place that served me something that could kill me.

July 21, 2024

They talk their own language in front of costumers! Its kind a rude! Thai Soup is taste less...

Yummmmm good food great price. Get lots of food so we usually buy one dish and share it

January 21, 2024

Price is way way too high, and it s not even true Thai. East Indians work there , not one Thai person. Almost 40$ for a bowl of soup and a pop . Wow. Received my food 30 mins later while I sat and watched 10 people enter order and get food than leave before I got my 40$ bowl of soup

December 21, 2023

I would recommend changing the name of tum yum soup, to soaked fresh vegetables as it lacks the main components of the soup, lemon grass and the thai ginger

The food here is always delicious and the customer service is amazing! Once when I ordered from them on Skip The Dishes, they didnt have the drink I requested, they called me and let me know and to make an exchange for any other drink. On TOP of that, gave me free fried chicken. great place, highly recommend.

This place is awesome! I was diagnosed with covid, and had to isolate at home, where I live alone. I had absolutely no energy to make anything for myself, and just wanted something that would make me feel good when I had aches and chills. Their soups and noodles are the best. Made me feel like a million dollars! Just what the doctor ordered. Amazing staff, amazing food.

I got pad Thai, as did my in laws and my partner. We bought it through skipthedishes, and they were all great! Im allergic to shellfish, and they were able to accommodate my allergies really well, no problem at all. The service was great, and they texted me to let me know the food was on its way. 10/10, would definitely recommend. The spicy pad Thai was spicy but not burn-your-face-off, and the mild ones were flavourful and spice-free.

I order both from Skip and in person, the food is so full of flavour and delicious! The staff and management are top notch too! I am guaranteed to leave with a smile :) Example of the exemplary service. Once I received the wrong order from Skip (can happen to anyone, we are all human) Not only were they apologetic and replaced my meal for free (even though I did not want them too) but included a delicious cake for dessert. This is my go to lunch spot! Try it, you won t regret it!!

Cool sit down Thai express, staff were very nice even though the order was messed up. Food is always good

December 21, 2022

Ordered pad tai , took 30 minutes to make. They chopped up all the noddles for some reason and it came out as one big ball of mush . Made me feel nauseous and only took a few bites. It s like they create there own strange recipe not following what the franchise usually makes. Do not recommend .

Ordered Tofu Pad Thai, barely any tofu and there was meat all in it.

Terrible experience. First complaint no on site menu, You must go on line. Strike against. Second strike, customer service was horrible. The young woman at the counter needs a lesson in customer service. We questioned what they had and were directed on line. So we took some time to research what they had. We placed our order, at No time were we told that what we ordered they did not have. Our order is called our soups were not made the way we ordered and our rolls wh0000ich were to be spring rolls came as imperial rolls which we did not order. When I brought this to the attention of the cashier she said they are spring rolls. Ok this is not my first time ordering Thai food, but was my first and last time at this place. I proceeded to explain the difference and the fact we were directed on line to order, at which time she should have said Sorry we do dont have those instead of passing off what we did not order as something else. Then she proceeded to walk away into the kitchen. My suggestion be more selective when hiring to be front line at your business. This kind of behavior does not belong in the food industry. I wont ever step foot in this establishment again, because of the behavior shown by this staff.

Absolutely the worst Thai Express I have ever ate at. It was so disgusting I couldt even eat it. The dumplings were soggy and way over cooked. The rice was even worse! The spring roll was cold and tasted awful! The yellow curry chicken I got was also cold. Overall, I would stay far away from this place.
