Tastewise it’s good but nothing to write home about. Their prices after their last raise is too high, and they also give you a very low quality plastic fork (which starts bending since the food is hot) - not very healthy. Hence the two stars

Authentic Thai, and a long line at the counter to get lunch. I had the 2 dish combo, huge mound of rice and 2 entree's - garlic chicken & pineapple curry w chicken. Both were good, both were spicy. There's also made to order, seems like the line was longer for that. (Pad Thai to go?) Very clean.

Came for lunch and was greeted by amicable staff. The pleasant taste of the chicken curry was very palatable and was had a balanced flavor. Paid Street parking nearby and in front. Quick service and clean establishment.

The prepared food in sight where you point and pick is a good deal. Mostly curries, just wish they had one choice of green curry with more variety of veggies in it including broccoli or cauliflower.Vegetarian options: Some options, but not sure if they use chicken broth, I should've asked.

Amazing food, it's always so hot, flavorful and the portions are big. I love how they make the egg still have a soft yolk, it's my favorite part of the basil fried rice! They have a lot of customization avaliable. Staff are very friendly, patient and work fast. The place is air conditioned, very tall, and nice and clean. Will come here again
Steam Cheap
The food is average and the restaurant is run by communists. They have lost most of their long-time customers but they still blast CNN all day on their big screen TV.

The food is my favorite part about Thai Chili Express, the quantity is great, the people are nice and the environment is wonderful. The service is great, the ambiance is even better and I love Thai Chili Express.
Delicious, fair price, friendly staff, food comes out

Good food. Love the papaya salad. Ordered medium spice and wasn't very spicy so maybe go spicy next time. Spicy fish could be spicier, but still great taste. Good little spot near the house too so it's convenient.

I've been here a few times in the past and each time the food is amazing! This time I had a Chicken Pad See Yew and the sauce was sooo tasty!! The noodles were the perfect texture, pairing so well with the crisp carrots and broccoli and the juicy chicken!
I went in the establishment for the first time, I wanted to have Thai food and I had expectations. Unfortunately that didn't happen, I place a simple order of Basil and chicken with egg on top dish. I waited and waited and waited for over 23 min. I've seen people come and go I counted at least 6 people that offer after I ordered. Two times I checked with the cashier and all she said was 'is coming' after 20 min I asked for a refund, I could just sit back another 20 min. While my food was not insight. I DO NOT recommend this place, if you do come expect to wait 20 or more minutes. NOT a great experience.

This is only my 2nd review ever but I felt obligated.The green curry chicken and eggplant basil both were nearly inedible. They were extremely salty and I thought it was a joke at first .I raised this with the cashier and no option was given for chef to remake or refund offered. He seemed indifferent and just offered to throw my food away for me.I’ve heard good things but this experience was embarrassingly bad
