" I must say, my expectations were quite high given all the hype, but my experience was very lukewarm. The catering towards healthy options resulted in bland flavors which is the last thing you would want at a Thai joint. I hope they refine their approach as they seem to genuinely care about the food served. The restaurant itself has a nice vibe, and the staff are definitely welcoming, but the food has to match that effort. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a pretty bad experience at Thai Express. The curry chicken I ordered was not spicy at all, and the flavors were muted. It felt almost like they were catering to a demographic that doesn't enjoy spicy food. Not what I expect when I walk into a Thai restaurant. On the other hand, the service was prompt, and the staff was friendly. The atmosphere was welcoming and clean, so if only the food could match that level, this could be a great place. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love that they've opened up late; perfect for a late-night craving! The food is good overall, and I appreciate the variety they offer for vegetarians. The staff is cheerful and welcoming, which adds to the overall experience. I do wish the food had a little more kick to it though. Great for a casual meal and quick bites! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Thai Express for a casual dinner with friends, hoping for some authentic flavors. The menu is petite, but I thought it would still serve quality dishes. I ordered the basil fried rice, and it was more like a greasy mishmash than anything resembling Thai food. The staff was friendly, but they just seemed to shrug when I raised my concerns. Not my kind of place for Thai food anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really excited to visit this location and support a new restaurant in the area, but my experience was a letdown. The chicken satay was rubbery and definitely not fresh. I mentioned it to the staff, but I was met with indifference. The atmosphere is pleasant, and it’s spacious, but if the food doesn’t improve, I won’t be back. Such a shame because I love Thai food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant based on my experience. The food was fairly bland and lacked the depth of flavor I was hoping for. Between the curries and stir fry options, none hit the right notes. Friendly staff but they couldn’t make up for the uninspired menu. Perhaps I just caught them on an off night, but I won’t be trying again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Thai Express has a lot of potential but falls short in terms of authenticity. The curries I tried were simply not up to par, missing essential taste notes. Nonetheless, the restaurant is clean, and staff courteous. I may return for a casual meal, but would not rely on it for my Thai cravings. " (*Curated Review*)
