Visited yesterday....and this place is doing such a consistent and great job with the entrees. And that free chicken and rice soup...just a fantastic tasting bonus to your meal! Everyday Thai doesn't hold a stick to Thai Xpress!
Good quality food for the money. Very dry pad Thai though...order extra sauce and it will be fine
Finally found REALLY GOOD Thai food! Food and service is pretty darn good! There's even real live Thai folks that own, cook, and serve. Excellent all the way around.
Food is always solid here! We love both locations and have tried several dishes and never had a bad meal. Crab rangoons are the best in town!
Thai Express has been a favorite in my household since I was a kid. My mom was good friends with the owner Patrick Sr, and I grew up folding napkins with Patrick Jr when we were kids. Thai Express will forever be my favorite Thai food in this universe. Recently under went a new and updated location, menu, and staff, Thai Express still does not disappoint. The best fried spring rolls, and fresh if that's you're thing too. The best chicken and rice soup-that's free might I add. And the best, simple, full or flavored, Thai menu in the Springfield area. Every time I go, I have to order their peanut chicken. The chicken is fried perfectly, covered in a homemade peanut sauce, served with jasmine rice. It NEVER disappoints. I mean I have never not had a good batch. I grew up on that stuff. Pair that with their noodles, curry, whatever you like and you've got the best meal in town. Thai Express is my comfort food. I love it. I love the family that runs it and what they stand for too.
The highly anticipated opening of Thai Express, by Simply Thai is happening today, 04/21/22!! I arrived at 11:30 AM, 30 minutes after they opened and there was already a line for indoor dining out the door and a drive-through line wrapped around the building. I'm so happy for them! Initially I ordered the Thai avocado salad and the Penang curry, but when I asked about peanuts I found out that there is peanut butter in the ginger dressing on the salad and in the base of the Penang curry (and Massaman curry). So, I got the salad without dressing and ordered the mango curry with shrimp. The mango curry with shrimp is both sweet and spicy and absolutely jampacked with shrimp & fresh, perfectly cooked veggies. Broccoli, green pepper, green beans, bean sprouts & mango chunks and served with jasmine rice. I snarfed the regular order for lunch - they also offer a larger size. I ordered a Thai iced green tea, and it was a nice balance between the grassiness of the green tea and the sweetness of the condensed milk. It was not overly sweet to my relief. Don't forget to ask for a tea stamp card. After 10 stamps you get a free Thai tea! The interior of the restaurant is modern black & white with dark higher end flooring and open feeling with windows on all sides. They have a small station in the corner to refill your water and grab some spicy sauce, extra napkins and utensils. We are going back tonight and I will update this review later gator!
