Small, humble Thai eatery whipping up noodles, spicy curries & an array of other familiar fare.
No frills Thai Food in the heart of LA.
Food: All their curry dishes were very tasty. You can customize level of spiciness when you order. Green curry was very creamy and was seasoned perfectly. Pad Thai was excellent.
Service: Our server were very nice. They accomodated requests regarding one of our dishes.
Ambiance: It is a small canteen. It doesn't have a date night feel. Very few decorations. They accept only cash and debit. No credit cards. Pay upon ordering.
Value: Prices were reasonable for the quality of food and service. About $10 per person for a dish with rice.
Most important the food had no flavor so please Just save your money go to a real Thai place. I have no words just the worst experience ever. Four years ago it was the best place ever but now everything was served in small take out containers waitress claimed COVID procedures yet real silverware was used which is not a COVID procedure. I will definitely not be spending another dime here. Also random fact credit cards are no longer accepted. I hate to complain about a small business like this but it’s ridiculous. I asked for an order of orange chicken and got a slice of chicken breast with lots of lettuce and some orange sauce on top. Just save your money go someplace else have a good meal cause you won’t have it here. Another thing the restroom is dark, dingy, and very hot. That should have been my first red flag but I didn’t want to judge a restaurant by its cover but just look at the top of the sauce.
Old school mom and pop vibes. The family owns it and you can tell they really put pride into the food. The woman behind the counter was very sweet and helped me decide on what to order.
All day special for $12 bucks included soup eggroll rice and entree. Well worth the price.
Wonton soup tasted fresh and the red curry was just the right amount of spice for me.
I will definitely be back.
My first time going last night the food was so delicious honestly I have not tasted good Tom kai khi coconut soup 🍲 every dish we ordered was delicious. Service was great OMG the prices are amazing so yes a big tip indeed ❤️😁 now the atmosphere as far as outside the restaurant spooky scary even if it's across the street from the rampart Police station . Try to park as close as you can to hear your alarm if anything. Just go with protection and keep it on you if you can.
Delicious food. Awesome service and nice atmosphere.
Food tastes like a Thai/Chinese fusion, was really good. Had the shrimp fried rice, combination chow mein, bbq pork, bbq chicken, fried tofu and fried wonton.
There’s lunch specials for $10 which includes, wonton soup, fried spring roll and entree.
We ordered the pad see ew, pad thai, and thai tea around 7pm and they made it promptly. I haven't seen the place busy yet so it was a quiet atmosphere as we waited for our food. The pad see ew wasn't very good. There was not enough sauce so it was dry without much taste. It also did not have many noodles. There were more bean sprouts with noodles. I had no complaints about the pad thai though. It was good, flavorful, and plentiful. Their thai tea is also very good. It tastes fresh and full. It doesn't taste watered down. All in all, their menu also has a good portion to price and Thai Food Express is a good option.

Great staff. Food is as good as to be expected. Not great, not bad at all. Lots of stuff not on the menu. Ask away if you want something specific.

I am very disappointed with this place. I ordered shrimp and beef fried rice.
I got a couple of shrimps and just very few pieces of beef, I mean very few.
The rest of my order was only rice, 90% rice. What a waste of money. I wouldn't recommend this place to anybody. I am definitely not coming back.
One of my favorite mom and pop spots. It taste like home cooking 😋

Muy buena comida
Solid Thai food in the area! The lady who runs this place is a sweetheart.
mama is so sweet. She's been in the community for years. Hope she continues to thrive
The food is delicious ! Price is great! Still the same great service after all these years
Fried rice is good.
This place is one of my favorite places to eat..my family and my we always Happy 😊😊
The food is fire, the service sweet, and the convenience is grand!
Always kind with good food and prices
Buena comida se los recomiendo
First the good:
The red curry was very delicious. I got a lunch special which came with rice, an egg roll, and vegetable soup. All for $12.
I told the very nice lady I wanted tofu and she made sure the whole meal was vegetarian.
The not good:
They have signs & pictures stating how they aren’t using single use plastics and seem to promote sustainability, yet when my food arrived everything was in plastic to go containers (for a specifically “dine in” order).
I hope they switch to reusable.
The other thing, the vegetable soup was very bland and mostly salty. Just skip.
The main food is super tasty and they are friendly, and it’s affordable, so I would go back.
Picked up from here for lunch. Food was tasty and well packaged.
This place is awesome!! It is one of those "hole in the wall" spots but the flavors are delicious, it's affordable, and they have good customer service. The front is run by an older woman and I think her son is the one helping. Both are very nice. Sometimes parking is a little busy but I still recommend it.
Un poco como no muy recomendable para familias porque está un poco caro y no rica
I called and they said they don’t do delivery!
Price is good but small portions but food is hot and fresh
This place suuuucks!
Got the cashew nut chicken and it was flavorless. Low quality chicken.
They only take cash or debit and REFUSE to give a refund.
Took 2 bites and gave the rest to a homeless dude outside.
Only upside is the large drinks. But man, this place is horrible. Worst tasting food by a mile. How tf does this have 4.5 stars? I have NO CLUE. Yall have no taste buds and eating with your wallets (the place is cheap)
I really love this spot they have really good fired rice and chow mein but I recently with with my lil brother to get lunch he order beef & broccoli, and I ordered the Mongolian beef we had 2 different dishes but ran into the same problem my brother had more broccoli than beef and I got way more onions and peppers than beef at the end of the day I really do like thai food Express but those portions for the price isn't working for me I'll just stick with my beef or chicken fried rice for now.
The food is the bomb. I will definitely be there each visit to LA
We ordered the pad see ew, pad thai, and thai tea around 7pm and they made it promptly. I haven't seen the place busy yet so it was a quiet atmosphere as we waited for our food.

Delicious spicy fried rice and red curry
I've been coming here for years.I like everything I've eaten so far.I have no complaints at all.The cashier n server is a very nice lady.
Tried the chicken pad thai - was so bland and flavorless. $12 for this lunch for this neighborhood is too pricy for what I got and this is too expensive for this neighborhood . The guy at counter didn’t want me taking extra napkins , either.
Buenisimo
Love their food, the service is good but plenty of seating but the parking is a nightmare. Go at your own risk but once you find a parking spot your ok. The area is kinda seedy but safe.
The food is good 👍.
Is not what it was before! The food portions are so small and for the price and you have to get your order when it’s ready. Is like going in line at a elementary lunch line. - no stars for me.
Aroi mak mak
Very delicious!
No flavor
Very quiet atmosphere beef salad was delicious.
Good food...delicious food...very tasty...feels like you really are in thailand...accomodating staff and peaceful ambience...
I love coming here. The food is always great. Staff friendly and i always see couples and family dining in. I do to-go.
Muy buen a comida 👌!!
It’s closed for renovations.
Best Thai food place, I always come to this place because everything is so good
The staff is so amazing too
the soup is really good
The food was good and their is plenty of space for a family to eat there
The best local Thai spot.
The best
The best in the area!!!!
My wife and I love the seafood soup with rice on the side. The lady at the front is always nice and friendly. Parking is tough sometimes but worth it.
Me encanta ...
Me gusto
Have been going here for years, my parents would bring me now I bring my kids.. Food is delicious usually get my family & i the 7 seafood soup, crab fried rice, egg rolls, & chicken satay & it is always so good.
Kinda home made food,Very friendly a Thaibest food ever.Not to mention da price.My favorite place.
Such a humble and amazing place with amazing Thai food and the owner is SUCH a sweet soul, she went out of her way to walk me to the door and open it for me and much more! She also remembered me and my husband the second time going after at least a few weeks And I love her for all her Kindness ❤️
Buen sabor a buen precio
My absolute favorite, been coming here 11 years. Good food good value . Consistent.
Can't get enough of this place. We have been going there for years and it never disappoints. The vegetarian spicy fried rice with a 4 of spice is all I need! My husband and son love the crab fried rice. They say that it's the best rice ever! Our daughter always compares their chowmein to every other place she goes, and she continues to only like Thai Food Express'.
A Nice place to eat
Found A Gnat In My Tom Yum Soup. Portions size was way smaller than plate.
Wonton soup is delicious 😋 my first time there and tried the chucken chow mein! The best! Will be returning to try more stuff
Muy bien Rica la comida y muy amables todos
I requested non-spicy, mild chicken pad thai and when I brought it home - it nearly burnt my eyebrows off. They offered me a free replacement next time I'm in. Bummer - but good customer service.
I went because I saw the reviews. It's as good as they say. I order from the special menu it's affordable and comes with many items. The food is well made and delicious. Highly recommend.
This is my favorite childhood restaurant. Chicken Sate is amazing, and so is the shrimp fried rice. Always friendly staff and great service. A big gem in the menu is the coconut ice cream they serve! It's quite amazing. I would recommend this place to everyone!
Is delicious any kind of food always have good service.
My favorite Thai food restaurant
Como siempre..
La sopa es lo mejor.. Buen servicio y muy limpio..
Siempre muy sabrosa la comida en éste Restaurant, es el mejor de ésta zona, los precios muy accecibles.
Perfecto
My favorite restaurant, good food, friendly staff, it's always clean
This is hard to believe but I’ve been eating here for 18 years! Have done numerous birthdays, going away’s, welcome home’s; just so many group dinners with friends and it’s always amazing.
Without a doubt still my favorite Thai food in LA. It’s northern Thai so there’s also some Chinese dishes on the menu.
Super accommodating for vegans. They have mock chicken too, just ask as it’s not on the menu. The soups- both Tom Yum and Tom Kha- are the best versions I’ve ever had. And the people who run it are so incredibly nice. Prices are very reasonable and they’ll even do extra noodles- $1 or $2 worth.
Muy huena comida y rapida la entrega.
You can’t get any better than this! I’ve been going to this restaurant ever since I was a little kid. Hell, even before my little brother was born! The times we’ve eaten here had been the best times of my life! The atmosphere, the food, the staff and everything in between makes for a lovely place to spend your money on! However ever since the pandemic had started we haven’t had the chance to sit-in and enjoy the food inside the restaurant itself. That doesn’t change the fact you can order take-out though! In a way you take a part of the restaurant itself with you home!
The prices are fantastic for what you get, not to mention the amounts of flavor you’ll be receiving will be worth it. I’m especially fond of the seven sea soup that comes with a good portion size of white rice on the side. But if you’re looking for an even more of a delightful experience then I would suggest you order a plate of shrimp fried rice. You heard right, a plate! The portion sizes are really acceptable for the price you’ll be paying. Especially when buying yourself a nice refreshing Thai ice tea! The perfect drink to wash down a perfect meal!
Buena comida
My favorite place since 2010
I love this place! The food is great, service is awesome and prices are reasonable for that Thai Food craving experience!!!
I thoroughly enjoyed my food from here. The lady at the front (Guessing she was 1 of the owner) was so friendly and patient! Its always encouraging to support businesses where the people are kind as well as great food. Will be coming back for sure 🙂
I love the food more than 20 year's I been eating a this restaurant
Delicious!!
Picked up favorite order from this place Panasonic, pad Thai. I have had it many times and it was delicious.nothing close to flavor as before. I wasted slot of money on food I tossed out. My first thought was this place must be under new management. It is reallt bad. I ste this food for 12 years as an employee of Good Samaritan hospital a few blocks away. I had in the past recommended this place to many friends and family. I told them beware it is not good food.
Example in my chicken pa bash it has a broth with red papper in it the red pepper had spots of black mold. That did it for me they try to get ridd of food beginning to go bad in takeout orders
Good luck if you try it but be careful and check each bite.
Great food, friendly staff, fast service! Thank you!!
There are other better Thai places...decent..
Quick service only to go
Great food, friendly staff and you can't beat the prices!
The food here is so good one of my favorite Thai places
WASTE OF MONEY. THANKS FOR SOUP THAT TASTE LIKE SOAP AND NO HELP. FOOD MADE MY STOMACH HURT. Spent money to Uber to this place and back to my hotel only to open my glass noodle soup and for it to smell like and taste like perfume. I called and asked for a refund and was told I could not be helped. First place I stopped at my first time in LA. Thanks for the terrible customer service and terrible food that I can’t even eat.
Oh and $10 for “orange chicken” which is a few pieces of chicken and a little bit of lettuce. Don’t waste your money.
One of the best place to get Thai food really inexpensive super friendly service I felt lovely waiters great food awesome drinks parking in front kid friendly
Muy rico
Buena comida. Muy atractivo local
I definitely recommend this place the food is delicious the soup is simply rich and has other foods that are also very rich
Comida muy rica 😃
Been coming to this place over 10 years!! The best Thai food I’ve ever had. The staff is super courteous and prices are very reasonable. Recommend the Shrimp Thai Express and Pad Thai.
I really recommend this place. The food are good specially pineapple rice and coconut soup. The lady who owns this place is very kind I love her. Thanks.
I’ve been coming to this place since I’ve been a little girl! It’s really good and a very welcoming!!! I love this place

amazing food. One of the best thali food in Los Angles. Good Service
Muy buen Lugar limpio y su personal muy amable en la atencion
Excellent spot for Thai food. Do yourself a favor and try this place. Staff treated us so nice.
Buen servicio.
Omg! I can give ten stars for this place. Awesome food, super friendly staff and owner, inexpensive and super tasty. The only catch is simple and low key ambience. If you like fancy places and care a lot for decor this is not the place. I love the food and the people!
Está muy rico todo y te atienden bien los precios son accecibles pruébalo telo recomiendo
Deliciosa comida y un muy agradable ambiente.
Me encanta, ya tengo varios años visitando este lugar con mi 👪
Real good just make sure you dont ask for a # 6 spicy becuase you gonna sweat big time but very very delicious
