Delicious soup !

Diner Review №22

As always Best Thai Express serves up exceptional food with exceptional customer service. The Pad Thai is, in my not so humble opinion, the BEST in the State of Maine. Each dish is made fresh to order, and plated so beautifully. Picture perfect!

Diner Review №23

The best Pad See Yew around!

It’s not easy to give yourself the name best Thai and not be incredible.

I have never had a bad meal here. Food is always warm, on time, and delicious. Staff is also lovely and welcoming. I typically order Khao Soi and it’s always 10/10.

For sure the best Thai in the area!!

If you like true American flavors and have little experience with real Thai cusine you will truly love this place. Very salty and sweet sauces here contain as much sugar as a can of Coke. The roast duck was excellent but was drowned in a plain brown sauce with no flavors but green pepper and ... sugar. So much sauce ruined the duck. The salad dressing was as sweet as ice cream!!! The chicken malacha salad was so plain it tasted like Chicken McNuggets. The dipping sauce for spring rolls was also too sweet and it is missing all the key flavors of coriander, lime, fish sauce and garlic. It's basically vinegar, water(!), chopped peanuts and ... sugar. If you love sugar this restaurant will become your favorite.
The staff are incredible, kind, and careful with orders and sincere. They know their target customers.
I wish them the greatest success!
If you are a sugar addict and desire a break from your usual fast food dinner, then this place is perfect for you.

Super cozy place and amazing staff; the food reminds me of my Thai Grandmas cooking, so when I can't go home and need some brain food for studying this place is amazing. Definitely going to become a peak spot in cooks corner, the chicken fried rice is amazing.

Diner Review №63

Low meat, high price. Watery curry small portions. Soup was nasty. Not good.

Diner Review №74

The name fits them perfectly, Best Dam Thai in the AREA

Diner Review №75

Best Thai around and amazing service.

Diner Review №76

Amazing food and service here !! Not a huge restaurant but it’s very clean and has a great atmosphere.

I had egg roll appetizer which comes with a sweet & sour sauce and it was fantastic. The outer shell was perfectly crunchy and the inside was moist and soft. Coupled with the sauce it was a great combination and some of the best egg rolls I’ve ever had.

My main dish was the best Thai chicken teriyaki . It was fried chicken with a bed of rice, and vegetables all topped with teriyaki sauce and lime crème sauce.

The service was great and the atmosphere was smooth and relaxing. Definitely will look to revisit.

We traveled 6 hrs for vacation, and decided to eat @ this establishment given the ratings we thought it would be great.
It wasn’t the best, could have purchased better from Walmart. The $48.50 meal of spicy duck contained 5 finely sliced pieces of duck with an over abundance of vegetables, the red curry chicken was more of a soup dish and last but not least the 6 wings contained more breading than wing. For a TO GO order one would think utensils would be supplied… I will not nor will I suggest or recommend this food to anyone looking for real Thai food.

Diner Review №81

Very tasty and good Thai food. Est in or carry out

Diner Review №82

Food was amazing, the crispy noodles and yellow curry were my absolute favorite along with the tea

Diner Review №83

Gathering fine ingredients, designing a menu, carefully preparing a meal to serve others is both a meditation in wellbeing and a path to independence. This family, only a few years after leaving Thailand, reminds me of my own great grandfather's experience arriving from eastern Quebec 107 years ago. A place to introduce your family or bring a large group for an intimate experience with no waiting. Best Thai Express has a spacious new dining near Cook's Corner, our newest oasis for genuine Pad Thai.

Diner Review №84

Really delicious all the way around! We got the paradise pad Thai, basil leaf with beef, khao soi curry, Thai chive cake, and shrimp shumai. Pad Thai was on point, basil leaf was wonderfully fragrant and fresh, khao soi was delightfully different (a yellow curry with noodles+crispy noodles!). Would get any of those entrees again. Really liked the chive cake (in spite of mistakenly thinking it would be like a pancake!), but probably wouldn’t do the shrimp shumai again… rather doughy.

Really fast service and great food! A New Brunswick favorite for sure! Now I’m excited about these leftovers 😊

Diner Review №85

Me and my daughter had the orange chicken and mango and strawberry bubble tea 10/10 totally recommend!!

Diner Review №86

Diner Review №87

I have tried all the Thai places in the area and this one wins hands down. The food is ready and hot in a timely fashion and it’s delicious. I highly recommend Best Thai Express. I’ve only ordered from them twice so far, but both times the food was excellent and I ate the entire meal happily. The guy behind the counter was really friendly and in my opinion that makes a huge difference. Try it and see for yourself.

Diner Review №88

Warm atmosphere, great staff, good food. This will be our go-to meal when in Brunswick.

Diner Review №90

Chicken 🐔 soup was amazing thank you JOB thank you for hooking me up with the Sriracha poison sauce you have great attitude that's how it should always be I will return for more food!!!

Diner Review №91

Best Thai food around. The paradise pad Thai is absolutely amazing. And the bubble drinks are pretty good to. They’re very friendly and the food comes quick.

Diner Review №92

Diner Review №93

The best thai food in the midcoast, hands down. Fast, friendly staff, and quick delivery!

Diner Review №94

The food is consistently fresh and delicious. I have yet to regret a single order from this place. I’ve tried different dishes there, and they were all excellent. I love that they include baby bok choy in their vegetables.

Diner Review №95

**HEAT WARNING** I ordered two days in a row from here first time, shrimp pad thai 2 stars. Second time chicken pad thai 2 stars. The first pad thai was PERFECT! The second pad thai I have no idea who made it but the heat level was CRAZY. very scary for future orders...2 stars? 1 star?? Ugh!

Diner Review №96

It's decent but the portions are really small for the price.

Diner Review №97

Excellent food!

Diner Review №98

I wanted Thai fried rice so bad and this place did not disappoint. I found it expensive for the portion of food, but que quality and taste were just perfect. I’d absolutely come back.

Diner Review №99

Seriously the best around! They are so friendly and have a welcoming vibe in their restaurant. Everything tastes amazing! I’d go here if I were you!

Diner Review №100

Best, in all of the ways. Just finished my Gai Kra Pow leftovers from last night and already wishing I had more. The Tom Kha Gai and Tom Yum Kung soups are outstanding and best we've found in Maine. Chive cakes are very good. We are placing bets on how many times my husband will order Best Thai Noodle Soup in the cooler months :)

Diner Review №101

Love the curry

Diner Review №102

Diner Review №103

Diner Review №104

Drunken noodle 2* was 10/10, my partner loved it. Pineapple fried rice 0* wasn't as mild as I had hoped but it was amazing nonetheless. Both dishes contained actual vegetables and we were very happy.

Diner Review №105

All the Best Thai locations are always excellent!

Diner Review №106

Very unprofessional staff. Couldn’t even get through placing my order before I was rudely cut off and denied service. Don’t waste your time when there plenty of other good places to eat in the area.

Diner Review №107

Super service. Nice dining room. Ah-mazing-food. Best crab rangoon hands down. Sweet chili wings were perfectly crispy and tender. Red curry was delicious. Ask for more spice if you like it spicier. Orange chicken is also terrific. Thanks for a wonderful dinner. Would definitely give more than 5 stars.

Diner Review №108

Order the Khoa Soy. Just do it. The apps were tasty. Truly the best Thai in town. Ate here twice in one day it was soooo good. If you like authentic Thai, this is the place, and I used to live in Thailand. Kob kun ka!

Diner Review №109

Ordered Phad Tai, Best Thai Noodle Soup, golden tofu appetizer, and some tea. Good food across the board, authentic. Golden tofu was super well fried, noodles were great too. Originally had little hope on finding good Asian food in the Northeast, but this place fantastic.

Diner Review №110

Diner Review №111

I've ordered from Best Thai Express 3-4 times a week since they've opened, and have tried almost everything on the menu. Absolutely delicious every time. Ingredients are always fresh, meals are always consistent. My favorite is the "Best Thai Teriyaki", and my coworker enjoys the "Paradise Pad Thai". This place never* disappoints. If I could give them 6 stars, I would. 10/10 recommend.

Diner Review №112

Phenomenal. after being driven 25 mins home, the chicken is still amazing and crunchy and the rice isnt soggy. I'm a bit confused, but I'll keep returning. Nothing saves like this when driving it back out to harpswell!

Diner Review №113

This place was great. Really good food, clean atmosphere, super friendly service. Can't ask for much more than that

Diner Review №114

I had a delicious Shrimp Drunken noodle! I would recommend!

Diner Review №115

Fantastic food. We are from the west coast and did not expect to find Thai this good. I like a certain style of pad thai and this is it! The red curry was perfect too. Our family meal was ready in about ten minutes too, very good service.

Diner Review №116

Diner Review №117

Diner Review №118

First time ordering from here and their service was the fastest! The food was really good. I got 2 stars tofu drunken noodle and I really like that they put a good mix of veggies and not just noodles in this dish. I highly recommend!

PS. The brussel sprouts (appetizer) were good as well!

Diner Review №119

Food is great! Ordered green curry with extra chicken, 4 star spicy. Just the right amount of heat for me! I like things spicy. Unfortunately, there was no extra chicken that I could see, but considering this was my 1st visit and the quality, there's no way I'm taking any stars away from these guys! The dumplings were really good with a unique ginger soy sauce that I had never tasted before. Different, but great! Definitely worth a try! I will go back.

Diner Review №120

Service was fast, portions were good sized. I ordered a 2* Chicken pad thai, personal preference I would get a 1* next time. The peanut sauce was DELICIOUS, and my rangoons perfectly cooked!

Great NEW Thai joint with a big selection of familiar and traditional dishes. Fast, friendly & affordable. Give this place a try!

Diner Review №128

Tried to order lunch on Saturday and was told that only dinner was available on the weekend. When we got home with our order, realized that we had paid dinner pricing for lunch sized portions, so buyer beware. Although we requested 2 stars on all entrees, the spice level was inconsistent. The orange tofu was bland and soggy, while the pad thai was almost too hot.
The pad udon however, was excellent. For the money, Asian Garden and Sweet Angel are at least as good, and a much, much better value.

Diner Review №129

Great Thai!!! Good portions, great flavor! Super fast service! Be advised, take it easy on spice level until you know which one you are comfortable with! Even 1* or 2* has a little bite, but oh so yummy! Definitely getting dinner here again! Oh, and the Curry Puffs were great, especially dipped in Peanut Sauce!

Diner Review №130

Udon noodles were fire. Scallion pancakes as well! Definitely a great spot.

Diner Review №131

This place is SO GOOD!!.... the staff is super friendly, the food is unreal, location super convenient. I'll get Thai here every time.

Diner Review №132

Super tasty! Got the spicy duck, paradise pad thai, and sesame beef and they were all very flavorful. We appreciated being able to customize the spiciness.

Diner Review №133

Diner Review №134

Lovely atmosphere and good food! The service was fast, and the employees were very friendly and kind. I had the drunken noodle and my boyfriend had paradise pad Thai- we were happy!

Thank you!

Diner Review №135

I tried the pad see you and it was the best I’ve had yet. My wife really enjoyed the chicken pad tai. I would definitely recommend to friends and family!

Diner Review №136

Good food, cozy atmosphere, super nice people.

Diner Review №137

Diner Review №138

Ordered spicy crispy duck. Got fatty gross unspicy duck. Terrible.

Then below, you’ll see that they are already blaming the customer. Awfully new restaurant to be trying that. Doesn’t look good.

Diner Review №139

Great people great food! What else can you ask for!

Diner Review №140

Great place!
Amazing food and very reasonable prices.
Staff was super friendly.
Very short wait times for my order and a clean and comfortable atmosphere to eat my food and relax
