Thai Express

We had an awesome experience tasting Thai cuisine here. We ordered the Chicken Panang Curry and Tom Yum soup. Both had unique taste. They came in cute little plastic sealed food boxes for easy carryout. The Tom yum soup had the lemon leaves in it which added to the zing of the soup in every spoon! 😍 It was brilliant as a starter. Just be careful about the spice level, they have 1 to 5, five being the highest. The Panang curry was easily the best Thai food I ever had. It had coconut milk/cream and so it helped to alleviate the spice from the Tom yum soup. Definitely recommended, I would go over there to taste their food again!

The cashier was friendly and attentive when I walked in. The pad thai itself tasted average. Nothing really stood out as it felt generic. On the bright side, it was not too oily. They also use jumbo shrimp rather than the miniature ones most restaurants use. The location is nice as it sits between MU’s campus and downtown. Parking is a bit of a mess as you are better off using the Hitt Street Garage.

One of the best Thai restaurants in Columbia! Came here around 2:30PM it was very chill. Servers were very courteous and attentive, food was amazing. I had ordered the Red Curry Fried Rice with pork and my husband ordered the Drunken Noodles with chicken. Both were amazing, we ended up sharing both plates and just eating both simultaneously. Their Thai Tea is amazing and their Green Thai Tea is so delicious! The location doesn’t have a designated parking lot so you will have to park off ninth street or off elm and take a short walk, but it is definitely worth it.

Great Thai for a great price! Thai Express isn't the fanciest place, but the food is tasty, made with quality ingredients, and is a good price. I love the Singapore Noodles for a bunch of delicious spices and veggies without being too spicy. The pad thai is also good and their curries pack a bunch of flavour. What I really like is the price, compared to other Thai places around town, the meals are typically about half the price. Definitely worth the trip if you are downtown looking for quick Thai!
