Thai Express is a franchise and I always expect the same quality no matter where I go in Canada. That sadly is NOT the case. This was driven home to me when I was fortunate enough to be in my old neighbourhood in Montreal today- at the Alexis Neon Plaza- in the food court (which can be quite enjoyable, most especially if you take your food out under the vast sun roof, where there is plenty of light and space and right now fun festive holiday lights) The food at the Alexis Neon’s Thai Express puts all others in the dust. Fresh, not over sauced with a variety of veges, not just green peppers and onions. They take the time to inquire about dietary concerns(I’m a gluten sensitive) in addition to the friendly relaxed service. It feels “homey” in a food court. Imagine that. It hasn’t changed in quality since we left that neighbourhood in 2018. And I mean it when I say, I go to that Franchise every where I work out of town and in Montreal expecting the same quality. I am however, always disappointed. Today did not disappoint. Yummy! Great to be back. Lovely To see friendly faces and eat tasty healthy food at a reasonable price. Toujours Merci

I can't speak for every item on the menu, because I always get the chicken pad thai. I think for a mall restaurant they do a pretty good job. The portions are generous and tasty. There could be room for improvement! For the most part tho, I actually enjoy eating here alot, and I specifically come here when I'm craving thai express!

I've never seen Thai chicken curry made of chicken nuggets. Tastes like worst KFC artificial meat. The cooks are very rude. They simply point in a direction when I asked a question. When I asked again, one guy was visibly irrirated and simply pointed to another waiter and shouted, "ask him!" They should be ashamed of providing such terrible food and service that ruins the reputation of Thai cuisine. 3 star is for the Atwater mall public dining area.

A DISGRACE to Thai food! So disappointing!!! Really wanted to have a good hot plate of Pad Siew - noodles were hard, Chicken was overcooked, no flavor besides soy sauce. Where is the fiery wok?Cooked n served in less a minute, even Maggi mee takes about 5 minutes to cook.

Chicken pad thai. Not the best pic but you can see how bland it is. So disappointed; it used to be flavorful this tastes like BBQ sauce and noodles. *Sigh* I guess it's best before the last hour of operation.

I have been going to this resto since I was in CEGEP and I have never had a bad experience until now. I bought a Chicken pad thai this morning around 11 am and it is awful. Hardly any sauce, no flavour, really over cooked noodles and just not really edible. It is too bad because I have always really liked this restaurant but after spending almost 15$ for a meal I cant even eat I probably wont be going back.

Thai express is my guilty pleasure. Unfortunately I didn’t like the food I received. Was the only time I threw out my dish. Sauce of the pad see ew tasted off and the noodles were really undercooked. The service was great. Friendly staff. Only issue was with the food.

Not as good as when they first started. The general tao meal I brought today tasted old, rice soggy..

December 23, 2023

I wouldnt feed my dog their food. Soggy rice and when you call to complain they treat you like the food they serve. Avoid this restaurant!

I will disagree with the previous comments because after several visits I can attest that the food was fresh, well priced, delicious and my brain tells me thank you every time.

Excellent cuisine Fresh, delicious and very filling. A very good address that I recommend

December 23, 2022

What a disappointment! I was so looking forward to eating a pad sew... One of the noodles was so hard that I hurt my tooth. The chicken was not fresh at all, I even wondered if they had just reheated something prepared the day before. $15 in the trash.

Had general Thai and medium Thai soup both were awful and tasteless - chicken was over fried and flavour was off, noodles in soup were either over cooked or undercooked I ve had Thai express many many times before and take general Thai each time but it s probably the worst one yet Employees were nice tho so that s why I m giving two stars instead of one I want to throw away my meal but i won t since I dislike wasting and I did spend about 25$ In total

I took a Pad Sew and my partner a General Tao, the meat was tough, the dish very salty and fatty, the vegetables like elastic. We were very disappointed even though we always loved Thai Express.

The guy who was preparing my Thai spilled part of my meal and it was dripping on the box and which was also broken when closed. I wiped it myself then I asked another employee to change the box. just gave me an empty box and the guy at the checkout as soon as he saw that intervened, took my box and stuck it with tape which is not practical because once opened I cant not close it and at the end I discovered that the dish had stuck there were shrimp with a black crust and overcooked noodles really too disappointed with the dish and the service

Really good food. Staff is pleasant. Real pleasure to speak with them. They give good advice on the menu. I strongly recommend the place when you are at alexis nihon

December 23, 2018

THAI? Really? This is not even remotely Thai. Since when do Thais eat a SHRIMP CURRY full of cubes of carrots and potatoes? Nonsense. Believe somebody who has lived in Thailand on and off for more than 50 years. And not even good. Beside much too expensive for what it is. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Asked for spicy chicken general tao, it wasnt spicy at all. The chicken tasted and felt like it has been reheated 10 times. The only reason why Im not giving 1 star is that the rice was alright.
