Thai Cuisine Express

located within a strip mall with a few other eateries. Portions are generous and great for those on a budget.

We ordered the chicken satay, yellow curry, chicken fried rice. Everything came out quickly and pipping hot. The portion sizes here are very generous great for sharing unless your extremely hungry. Our server seem to be the only one on the floor managing 6 tables and did a great job at greeting guest, taking orders, running out food as well as making sure everything was good.

I would definitely be returning.

This is one of my favorite Thai restaurants to dine at. Me and the boyfriend frequent this joint whenever we want Thai food but don't want to drive up to L.A. for some good Thai grub during the day. It's a small restaurant that also has lunch specials from monday-saturday, with good portions might I add.

One of my favorite dishes is the mint leave dish, with chicken. The spiciness is right on the spot and for you spice lovers, you can even have them make it extra spicey to add a kick to your taste buds. Believe me, it'll set your mouth on fire after a few bites. And eating hot rice, whether steamed or fried, is not going to help the burn in your mouth either. So be warned =)

Another dish I order frequently is their som tum, their most popular salad dish. I usually order it either spicey or extra spicey depending on my mood for that day. Like I mentioned before, just be warned that even spicey is going to make your mouth burn after a few bites. Extra spicey just gets your mouth to its burning sensation faster. haha

I've also had their soups, chicken satay, pad thai, pad seeu(spell check? lol) and they have all been great.

And with the quick service and friendly staff, no wonder I stay loyal to this restaurant.

This place was convenient, fast and cheap.

We ordered the following:
-Tom Kha Soup (chicken): I thought it was good. A bit on the spicy side, but I enjoyed it.
-Pad See Ew (tofu): Ordered a medium spicy and I couldn't taste the heat. I even added more chili flakes from the table. The flavor lacked a bit and I would have loved more oyster sauce ?
-Thai Fried Rice: One of their staples and was pretty decent.

All for less than $40 with tip. I was pleased with the service but then again there were only less than a handful of parties in the restaurant.

The shopping center is desolate and the restaurant is next to a liquor store and bakery. TONS of parking, but the parking lot is dark so I advise to park close to the restaurant.

3.5 Stars
Decent Thai food, at a decent price.
Very convenient from work, so so service.
Forget about smiles and small talk..
If you are in a rush don't go at 12! the word express will look like sarcasm.
I always order the same:
sea food soup! delicious.
their mango with sticky rice is pretty good as well.
Let's say I'd never drive far for this place, but since is quite close and convenient from work, I'll keep going :)

Ordered Thai teriyaki chicken, it looks lot different than the picture and tastes awful. Chicken smelled stale and nasty. Food quality has gone down in this place.

I was kind of skeptical about this place because people have been giving it low reviews. I found the food and service here to be worth the price you pay! I ordered the pad thai lunch special with the egg roll and salad, and it was actually delicious. The service was great, but because me and my group only had an hour for lunch we called and ordered beforehand, which was actually a great idea. We got our food only after a couple minutes of being there, and the waitress gave us fresh egg rolls, and kept checking on us. Around lunchtime on a Wednesday it was practically empty!! I also got to taste the Panang and Yellow curry, both were really delicious.

Lunch Menu is decent priced.

The food sometimes doesn't come out the way it's listed on the menu. At times they give you an Eggroll and at times they don't give it to you.

The Rice/Fried rice that they gave me was cold... I think they took it out from the refrigerator and just put it on the plate. I really wish they make sure all the food is cooked correctly before they serve the food to their customers. Everything else was warm/hot, but the rice wasn't so I was very sad and disappointed.

Customer Service is alright. I wish the service is better.
I work right across from it so I will most likely be returning, but if this keeps up i'll just find another Thai restaurant.

I must say, this place caught us by surprise. We skeptical at first cause we were the only diners. It's actually really good. We have passed this place for so many years and I thought it was a Thai to go as in fast food Chinese. It was a sit down restaurant.

Okay, from the iced water, the ice was dome shaped and already I was impressed, lol. The food we ordered were very tasty. We had spring egg roll, beef fried rice, pad see eww and Thai BBQ chicken. Excellent food and it's one of the best we've had. The ice tho, when you crunch into it, it explodes into a slushed ice, hahaha. We will definitely be back here!!!

This place is amazing Thai place rated number one in the area... It in a strip mall, but the food is so so good, my daughter and i came here the first time and was blown away. Pad Thai, sweet and sour pork with green beans and rice. With Thai tea was amazing as well. If you are in Buena Park please check it out for great food.

We've been here several time over the last several years but keep forgetting to write a review. This place has by far the best boat noodles in the area hand down! The panang curry is also just as awesome!!!
Everyone I come here I try to bring as many people as possible so they would order all the other items I want to eat so I can pick at their food too!!!
If you haven't been here before you gotta try it!!! :)
....Make sure you like spicy foods though. ;)
