Customer Reviews
Overall, it was a disappointing experience. The restaurant wasn’t busy at all , just one other table besides ours, yet the food took quite a long time to arrive. We ordered the drunken noodles, and I was surprised that the dish wasn’t served hot. Some chicken pieces were actually cold inside, like food that’s been unevenly reheated in a microwave. The rice noodles were also clumped together, four or five layers stuck without any sauce coating. The potatoes in the yellow curry also tasted off. Overall, the food didn’t feel fresh or hot, and even the table we sat at was sticky. I wouldn’t recommend this Thai restaurant. I’ve tried plenty of Thai places over the years, and there are many others that are much better.
Tried to order delivery via Door Dash. I've been a customer of Taste of Thai Express for years but never again. Food was over an hour and a half late. Called the restaurant and was told the Door Dash driver had just picked up the food - that was a lie. Called again half an hour later and another person arranged for the restaurant driver to deliver. Then that driver could not follow specific directions and just left the food at a random door to my apartment building. I'm done with Taste of Thai Express. Food is good but not worth the hassle.
Food: Ordered two Drunken Noodles with tofu. The taste was good, but there was barely any tofu in my dish. The food was not hot enough—some items felt like they were at room temperature. Service: Service was noticeably slow. Ambience: The restaurant has a great atmosphere with large glass windows. There's also outdoor seating available. Cleanliness: Both the restaurant and restroom were clean. Parking: Free parking is available, but spots are limited. Overall: Good taste and clean setting, but the portion quality, food temperature, and speed of service could be improved.
I ordered through Door Dash and my order didn’t come as expected. I called the restaurant and realized it was my fault. The person was extremely helpful and understanding. She explained all of the options I had which were all customer focused. Even though it was my fault they made it right and redelivered the food hot. Order directly if you can. I can’t express how much it meant to receive kind, professional, and great customer service. I forgot it still existed. Thank you!!!
Chicken satay was delicious! Peanut sauce was fabulous. Lettuce wraps were perfect. Spring rolls were fresh and their sweet peanut dip was perfection. Atmosphere was nice with soft jazz.
