Counter-serve Thai kitchen offering sidewalk seating, lunch specials & a sushi menu in spare digs.
I've been here a few times and always had a great experience! Super quick and delicious. The service was great and the staff was very friendly. I got the mini spring rolls and drunken noodles this time and it was yummy! I've also tried some of their bobas and mango sticky rice, both were so good. Definitely recommend stopping in. Oh and I love that they have quote a few vegan options!
This restaurant has always been a favorite of mine, but I had a disappointing experience during my recent visit due to an employee named Ethan.
When we arrived at 8:27 PM, Ethan informed us quite abruptly that we had only three minutes to order because they would be closing in half an hour. While I understand the need to communicate closing times, his delivery was far from friendly. When we requested chopsticks, he tossed them to us with an audible sigh, which felt unprofessional.
It seemed he had a sense of entitlement while helping the other servers, and I couldn't help but notice his dismissive attitude. To top it off, he turned off the lights while we were still eating and chatting with another employee, which felt quite rude.
We ended up discussing our frustrations about Ethan with the other staff members, making it clear that his behavior was out of place in an otherwise welcoming environment.
I want to emphasize that all the other staff members here are fantastic and contribute to the restaurant's warm atmosphere, which reflects the beautiful Thai culture. Unfortunately, Ethan's actions overshadowed that.
Ethan, if you're reading this, I hope you take this feedback to heart. Your behavior not only affects your colleagues but also the overall experience for customers. If you're unhappy in your role, perhaps it’s time to consider a different path. Please remember that everyone deserves a pleasant dining experience.
It was okay, the servers were nice, the atmosphere was pleasant. I ordered the Pad Thai with beef, spice level 3. It was a big portion but it was basically all noodles. There was beef, but not much and the pieces were rather large and tough, and the flavor of the beef was not good. Maybe it was just an off day, it was my first time there, But judging from the dish and the prices I probably won't go back. I have been to much better Thai places.
This was my first time experiencing Thai food. An amazing first choice. The strawberry Boba was a 10/10 (first time trying Boba as well.) The Chicken Pad Thai was so flavorful, the peanuts just make it so unique and I loved it! The lovely tofu was my first experience with tofu as well, while I did not like the texture of the tofu itself, the sauces and batter were seasoned perfectly and so good ! The decor was amazing and super pretty too.
Had the Lovely Tofu appetizer and it was good. My main course was the Thai Chicken Curry Fried Rice. I specified a heat level of 2, which made my forehead start to sweat! But the dish was excellent. It came out quickly, and was hot and fresh. Highly recommend it. The soda fountain doesn't seem to work right. I tried Diet Pepsi and Pepsi (which looked like mostly water) then I tried the Mt Dew, which was also watery. Don't know if the machine was just broke today or if it's always like that. I noticed most people were drinking water (maybe they knew something?) Next time I'll just drink water!
🧑💼✅ Great service by the staff here from seating to getting the food to table. Goes beyond anything I have seen locally.
🍛 Food arrived quickly. The kids nuggets meal was good.
Whilst the food was palatable I don't think I saw authentic flavours that I have seen elsewhere. Nice interior decor.
My child was running late to pick up the food and these lovely humans closed up and waited in the cold to make sure we got the food. I eat here often, and it’s *always* good and fresh. I’ve never had a bad dish. Thank you so much for waiting! I’m so sorry! I’ll tip more in person on my next visit!
So we had got in early for a lunchtime special deal that had apparently only been running for a few days. Everything was cooked okay and was reasonably tasty but I feel the range and level of spice were lacking for a Thai restaurant. I don't know if it's high expectations but I want somewhere to be able to enjoy aromatics flavorful dishes that more accurately represent Thai food and less bourbon chicken as I feel this detracts from the more authentic feel of the meals. I know this is not Thailand and we need to cater for locals but in the same breath I feel that if you are opting to go to a place with spicy ethnic foods, it would be nice to taste them. Restaurant decor was nice and the staff were very friendly, I would recommend for a lunchtime or evening meal as couples.

Food was burned! Fries were nasty. Grease was burned that food was cooked in!
Amazing food, I come here all the time, never once had a meal that wasn't delicious.
Food is always great and the dining room is beautiful.

Good food.
Pad thai fried tofu. Good flavor. Everything got sauced but it wasn't then swimming in a pool of sauce (it shouldn't be, so that's good).
Interesting take on fresh / spring / summer / cold rolls. Was interested to try the addition of avocado, which was slippery but tasted good. Basil was a little overwhelming. Maybe try bean sprouts, rice noodles, matchstick cucumber or something to help fill it up? Sauce was good. I dont think they needed to be sliced up.
Hated this place. Language barrier complicated the ordering process. Crab rangoon was dry, cold garbage. Boba tea took 35 minutes to make. First impressions matter and was a bad one. Won’t be trying again.
Dine in with the family or take it to go, either way it's always good.
They received me very warmly super friendly and helped me with the food options I liked the soup very much and the boba I liked a lot I highly recommend this place when I return to Dayton I will return for another 🍲😘
Had the padtai it was good. Was suggested level 4 heat, should have gone with 5, maybe even 6.
Nice portion size, solid service... But holy moly, the soft tofu "drunken man" noodle I ordered at spice level 1 was mighty spicy; I managed to slowly eat about 1/5th of it with 4 glasses of water. Brought it home to my level-5 spicy husband and he said "Jesus this is a 4 or 5 out of 5!" He said he would've asked for a refund if he had ordered a one and gotten that. Another booth had ordered at the same time and they did actually complained that their food was "much spicier than last time." So heads up. Hopefully just a cook's aberration but err on the side of less spicy, just in case! Noodles had great veggies in it, would've been amazing at an actual 1 or 2!
Tried to come in for dine in at 0827, on the door the sign states that they close at 9. We walked in and were told that they close dining in " 3 minutes". We promptly walked out. They must not need the business? Maybe you should change your hours online and on your door
Another place that calls themself Thai Express. This one was disappointing. The best ones are a chain in Singapore. There is small unrelated chain in the US with only 6 locations, but they claim over 300 worldwide. I think mostly in Canada. I really liked the one in Minnesota. Nothing wrong with this version, just another Thai restaurant. Nothing outstanding, just did not meet my preconceived expectations.
Honestly, the food was pretty awful. Very disappointing
A very nice restaurant with a comfortable dining area that is nicely decorated. The food quality was excellent. All dishes at our table were prepared exactly to order with the typical options in Thai food. Vegetarian dishes as well as protein dishes are available, so everyone in our party found something delicious to eat.
This was a big disappointment. Nice, clean and pleasant atmosphere. The waiter however was awful. Our appetizer came out quickly and was good, though not very hot. My husband got his lunch first and I waited another :25-:30 minutes to get mine which was just a salad. It was fine but not what was advertised on the menu and just came with a small bowl of Thousand Island dressing. The bill was rather expensive for a potsticker appetizer, bowl of fried rice and a salad. The waiter was a bit presumptuous asking if we wanted change from our bill - which I didn’t appreciate. I like to try new places but won’t be going back here again.
Tiks Thai is the best. We have to drive over an hour to eat here but it's definitely worth it.
Cream Cheese Crispys 🤌🏻
Summer Rolls 🤌🏻
Bourbon Chicken 🤌🏻
All things Tiks 🤌🏻
Very nice decor and staff. Food was excellent. Fair priced for lunch. Would definitely recommend trying during lunch.

Good service, good food.
Quick and yummy lunch. Met the family and had Pad Thai and spring rolls. Level 3 spicy was just enough heat that you could still taste the other flavors. Noodles were a touch gummy like they'd been sitting for a bit and each bite was a clump I had to struggle with to separate, but the flavor was good. The spring rolls were good, but not any better than I can make from frozen in my air fryer. Nothing spectacular, but overall a very good lunch for a reasonable price. Husband and kid both had Boba and said they were very good (I didn't taste since they both said the Boba was relatively sweet and I just prefer less sweet drinks). We count Tik's Thai as a place we'd all meet again for lunch. I plan to try the curry next time.
Food was a little bland for Thai. Takeout was ready when stated
1st time. Want to try a few other dishes
Absolutely amazing. I was so happy with the pad Thai and the service was very good. Would eat here daily if I lived in this area.
I've been here a few times and always had a great experience! Super quick and delicious. The service was great and the staff was very friendly. I got the mini spring rolls and drunken noodles this time and it was yummy! I've also tried some of their bobas and mango sticky rice, both were so good. Definitely recommend stopping in.

Fantastic food. Service was outstanding as well. Highly recommend this restaurant for sure!!
I find it so hard to judge a place by some of the bad reviews. I think some people just get up on the wrong side of the bed. Food was great, service was impeccable, and there was nothing wrong with the atmosphere. Try it! I bet you like it!!!
Bourbon Chicken #2 with Noodles
It was okay, the servers were nice, the atmosphere was pleasant. I ordered the Pad Thai with beef, spice level 3. It was a big portion but it was basically all noodles. There was beef, but not much and the pieces were rather large and tough, and the flavor of the beef was not good. Maybe it was just an off day, it was my first time there, But judging from the dish and the prices I probably won't go back. I have been to much better Thai places.
No alcohol. The portions are big enough for leftovers. I ordered shrimp and crab over rice. They forgot the crab. Waitress said it only comes with crab seasoning. The menu clearly stated shrimp and crab over rice. They served me about 6 shrimp and 2 lbs of rice.
Had the Lovely Tofu appetizer and it was good. My main course was the Thai Chicken Curry Fried Rice. I specified a heat level of 2, which made my forehead start to sweat! But the dish was excellent. It came out quickly, and was hot and fresh. Highly recommend it. The soda fountain doesn't seem to work right.

I noticed most people were drinking water (maybe they knew something?) Next time I'll just drink water!
Go ahead and sit down, enjoy the food. Although not traditional Thai in name or ingredients, the flavors are delicious. Portions are good size and the atmosphere is welcoming. So is the service!
So go ahead and give this place a try; i doubt you will be disappointed.
Tik was incredible! Level 3 was my heat limit. Lemongrass soup at 3 was way hot. Level 1 would have been ok. Entrees were very authentic. Ordered level 3 and it was almost too spicy, and we like spicy. Of course, the heat level is a very personal preference. Spring rolls were very good, not greasy, nice light sweet chili sauce. Topped it off with mango&sticky rice for a sweet finish. I look forward to coming back.
Good 👍
This was my first time experiencing Thai food. An amazing first choice. The strawberry Boba was a 10/10 (first time trying Boba as well.) The Chicken Pad Thai was so flavorful, the peanuts just make it so unique and I loved it! The lovely tofu was my first experience with tofu as well, while I did not like the texture of the tofu itself, the sauces and batter were seasoned perfectly and so good ! The decor was amazing and super pretty too.
So the food was not what I thought it was going to be the soup and fresh spring rolls were great but the pad Thai was too sweet! I had them re make it and it’s not authentic from even when they remade it it wasn’t sweet but it was bland and had so much oil and you can taste it, I paid for my food and left. I expected more from this place especially for the price I paid. For 1 person my bill came to be almost $43
The staff and atmosphere at Thai Express are always very welcoming. Our server Bassi was very knowledgeable about food allergies when we told her that our daughter has an anaphylactic reaction to Sesame seeds. Bassi reassured us many times that there will not be any cross contamination and we will not experience any bad outcomes from ordering our food.
This was such a special evening because we were able to dine and enjoy our dinner without any bad outcomes. I was so pleased with Bassi's professionalism, care, and attention given to all the details. Thai Express will always be on our list to visit more often with our kids because I am now reassured 100% that they truly take this seriously. Thank you Bassi and Tik. 🙏🙏🙏
Been going here since 2015 in college.
Still yet to let me down. Best Thai food place we have in Dayton area!
The food was absolutely amazing! All the staff were extremely friendly. The entire place was beautiful and very clean. I really enjoyed my meal, what a hidden gem.
Best Thai food in Fairborn! Staff was so friendly and patient as my wife decided on her order. Our food was just perfect in both temperature and the proper level of heat we requested. Highly recommend A+
Great food. Great service.
Great place. Food is over priced. Taste could be better. I’d try them again though.
Very chill place. Pretty, clean, excellent food, excellent service, kind staff.
This place was amazing! The servers was fantastic and the food was out of this world! Great job guys!
I ordered the Pad Tia to go and the portion size for the price was way too small. Maybe the small container was the only size they had. I don't think I'll return.
Excellent food! Never had a bad meal or service!
Shrimp Pad Thai is da Bomb! 🍤🥘 The Tarot Root Boba Tea 🍠💜 is also super good, taste like fruity pebbles cereal milk (it really does!) Nice clean, comfortable dining area too and polite staff.
Great Thai restaurant near Wright State University!
Good food and a nice experience 😌
Reasonably priced and good tasting food.
Everything I ordered was very good. Appetizers and main dish.
Love this place and nice peaceful feel
Dine in for a family of 5. Miss.B ( I believe ) the young lady gave us an amazing service that always checking on us, super friendly and I would give this place for a costumer service 10/10. Super friendly oriented atmosphere. If I could could eat only one thing from the town of dayton for the rest of my life, it would be from here. Highly recommend!
I had a great experience this first at Tik’s Thai Express. Recommended by a good friend, my wife and oldest daughter, I scheduled a luncheon there for my group of retired coworkers. I ordered Thai Orange Chicken and was very pleased with the taste and seasoning. I wasn’t sure if everyone was knowledgeable regarding Thai food, but everyone seemed to be comfortable when they ordered their food. All my friends really liked the food, all seven of us. The owner/operator/cook (Ms. Tik) came out from the kitchen, greeted everyone and then offered to touch up seasoning if desired. The waitress, Ms. Alissa was so attentive to our table and just seemed to be so sweet. When we asked for anything she moved so fast, but not quite running. Basically, they treated everyone as we were important. Again, service was super good. Will be at the top of my favorite picks.
The food and atmosphere was great, I'm just not a fan of order at the counter and drop the food off at your table but that's just me. When I dine in and I'm paying 40 to 50 for 2 at lunch, I prefer service.
Hidden gem. It was really good.
I was almost immediately disappointed by the menu as they didn't have a lot of the typical Thai staples and classics in most restaurants, especially those sponsored by the Thai government. It was evident that it is definitely catering more to non-Thai and mid-Western tastes and I doubt the owner is Thai.
We ordered tod mun pla (fish cakes, not pictured), chicken pad Thai, and larb gai (ground meat salad, chicken is the only option here).
-Tod mun pla: Can't complain too much. They were smaller than I'm used to and not quite as flavorful, but overall not bad. Very expensive for what they were though.
-Pad Thai: Typical authentic pad Thai sauces don't contain soy sauce and this tasted way more like a soy sauce stir-fried noodle than pad Thai. I'd struggle to really call it pad Thai as the flavors just are not pad Thai. I don't know if any tamarind was used, but there was no real tang to it. Pad Thai should be sweet, sour, and salty but this just had a salty soy sauce flavor. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't pad Thai.
-Larb gai: Not really too much to complain about here concerning flavor. It was pretty standard larb and they used toasted rice powder like it's supposed to have. I do wish they would have used fresh chilis instead of dry and shallots instead of red onions. What I will complain about is the price and amount of meat. $18 for larb is outrageous, especially when the amount of meat was so small. I wouldn't normally pay more than $10 for larb and it normally is loaded with your ground meat of choice. My family is from Isaan region where we mostly eat sticky rice by hand with larb. Larb is a traditional Isaan dish and most Isaan cuisine is eaten by hand with sticky rice, so the fact that they don't serve sticky rice as an option was really disappointing. The only sticky rice is for the mango sticky rice dessert. You also typically eat it with lettuce or cabbage, similar to lettuce wraps. They had it in the dish, but it was all chopped up and mixed in with the meat so you really couldn't use it to grab or fill it with any meat.
Overall, very disappointing for me but my non-Thai spouse didn't mind it. It's really expensive (around $15 average for entrees) for what you get.
Wow!!! why did we wait so long to try it. Over the TOP customer service! Give it a shot again for dinner after a long time. The young Asian woman was very kind and so friendly for her first day, always gave us a very nice welcome smile. She answered all my Thai food questions. I highly recommend this local restaurant with a great variety of dishes!
The food is scrumptious and super fresh. Service was quick and very attentive.
TERRIBLE SERVICE AND EXPERIENCE. I went in and ordered Bourban chicken he asked for the spice level from 1-5 I said TWO!! It was SO spicy I couldn’t eat it and I LOVE spicy I politely asked for a remake and they told me sorry about your luck we will not remake or refund. Basically said We could careless you ordered food for your children and they can eat it im a single
Mom of 5 and paid almost 20$ for this food!! Don’t take your family or friends there and ask for accommodation because they will tell you to NO! Never in my LIFE had a restaurant do this!!!
We had the green curry, which I have loved everywhere I’ve had it before, but it was so watery it just wasn’t worth the price. The basil fried rice was SO salty, that I felt it overwhelmed the other flavors. We went right after opening, on a Friday night so perhaps this is why. The staff are so nice so if you like other dishes, definitely give it a try.
The worst Thai food I have ever eaten. Spent two years in Thailand and ate at good USA restaurants. Server said they had new people in kitchen. The absolute worse food and screwed up order I had at any Thai place.
Great food, I've been enjoying Thai food all over the country for many years, and I even lived in Thailand for two years, this place is excellent!
Decent lunch specials.
Holy. Cow. Seated right away. Food came out hot and fast (had a hungry 2 year old with us) Got the Pad See Ew and it was a great portion and so good. Will be back. Don't sleep on this place!
It's nice inside. Nicer than you would expect in a strip mall. The food was average, and the service was just OK. I thought it was odd that they close the dining room after lunch. They were turning away customers that wanted to dine in at 2PM. It seemed odd when there appeared to be plenty of staff and a huge car show was ramping up next door with hungry people.
🧑💼✅ Great service by the staff here from seating to getting the food to table. Goes beyond anything I have seen locally.
🍛 Food arrived quickly. The kids nuggets meal was good.
Whilst the food was palatable I don't think I saw authentic flavours that I have seen elsewhere. Nice interior decor.
Great ambience and even better food.
Always very good!
Food was amazing!!! So glad we stopped here
I tried the pineapple fried curry rice, and it was delicious. What a treat, did not expect it to be so amazingly exquisite. A lil hidden gem.
My favorite place to get anything from Bourbon Chicken, to Pad Thai to delicious curry. Would highly recommend!
I have never had a bad experience with dining at Tik's. I have had great dishes, fast service and friendly staff. The Southern Curry and shrimp Pad Thai are my favorites. My 29-year old daughter always requests Tik's for our mother-daughter outings. It will always be our go-to Asian restaurant. Love!
Great food, reasonable price and the nicest people running the place. We were finishing our meal as they began closing and a staff member had some cupcakes, sharing them with us. Will be back when visiting the USAF museum again!
My first time eating here. Service was fast and very helpful. Food was fresh, well prepared and quite tasty. I had the Tom Yum soup and Love's Basil. I highly recommend if you like good Thai food at a good price.
15 minutes before advertised closed, the staff sees me walking towards them & turns off their open sign. I watched anther person walk in so I walked back only to be told they're closed. BEYOND RUDE!
I come here all the time and I cannot recommend the pad Thai and curry noodle soup highly enough. I always leave here comfortably full and happy. If you crave Thai in the Dayton area you should come here!
I really wanted to like this place, any it was really good, but I have had better; and it would do those places a disservice to give Tik’s Thai Express 5-stars. The Tom Yum Soup was very hardy , but way too salty, and I like salty soup. And the sauces were a bit too thin for my taste. It could be a solid 5 with some attention to detail.
Very good food and Boba tea. Taro blended Boba was amazing always fast and yummy
Just down the street from our hotel is this little Thai restaurant serving good Thai food
Excellent food, friendly staff, nice place to meet for lunch. Music at a reasonable volume. Did I mention the food is excellent? 😊 The real deal.
I really hate giving negative reviews. To begin, they did fix the mistake…kinda.
My order was made wrong but by the time we made it home they were closed so left a voicemail took videos of food with time stamps. I ate a few bites of the food because I had no other option since they were closed. The next day I called and they said as long as I bring in 50% of the food they will make it again but this is a one time thing because the online menu is wrong and how they made it was actually correct. The saddest thing was when they took back the food I brought back and threw it away; the food wasn’t bad it just wasn’t what the menu said I should’ve gotten. They said it was their policy to throw it away when I asked to keep it 😢The remade the order and it was still wrong and missing things but I just decided not to complain anymore because I was just over it. Food was decent and the worker Kenzie was nice.
The quantity of food is literally low. The price is too high.
Slow service. We were the only ones in there at the time of ordering. Food was bland. However the special was decent. Boba was over cooked making the rest not good.
Mediocre food, expensive for what you get. Not much flavor. $14.99 appetizer platter was not worth it at all. Just cheap frozen dumplings, egg roll and ragoon deep fried…it was terrible! Owners kids were running around yelling and it was hard to enjoy the food. We won’t be back, and I don’t recommend you eating here.
Amazing,Food hot and fresh
Delicous Thai food
Food was great! Ordered take out and enjoyed everything!
I got the duck and my wife got the pad thai. They were both okay, but not good. Not worth going back. Service was good, though.
The duck dish was fried chunks of duck, softened veggies, and cashews swimming in sweet orange sauce. Neither the veggies nor the cashews had any sear to them. I ordered the max heat (4 peppers) and it still wasn't spicy.
The pad thai was pretty standard for American thai, if on the sweet side and light on the chicken. It also wasn't spicy.
If you like spice, this isn't the place. If you like your dishes sweet, give it a shot.
The staff is super friendly, and the pad thai can't be beat!
Excellent food with the option to have it as mild or as spicy as you want.
I've always liked their food, but today the service was awful and the waiter was disrespectful. We arrived with plenty of time to order at 8:15 pm. We ordered for two people, and it took them half an hour to bring our first dish, which was understandable because the place was crowded. But then we had to go to the counter to ask for the rest of our order because they hadn't brought it. After they served the food, the waiter came to our table several times, knocking the table with the receipt tray until we told him to stop. We tried to talk to the manager, but they said that no one was available.
Spring rolls the best
I have eaten here once before and was very pleased so I ordered the same thing lunch today.
Disappointing.... The meat was dry and over cooked while the vegetables were almost raw. The sauce was so bland and watery none of it stuck to the actual food.
The egg roll was good at least, but I won't be ordering again.
Great place to go eat. Clean restaurant, good service, staff friendly happy and helpful make a good dining experience.
Have always enjoyed the food selection and taste. Kitchen is fast. Portions are a fair size.
This is one of our favorite local Thai stops.
Never had to wait for a table.
They have changed. It used to be one of my staples but the food is not the same. Different ingredients, portions are off and service is lacking.
Best Thai food in the area. I came here for a lunch break and it took 5 minutes for my food to come out. You have to try this place! It’s fire.
Great food and quick service.
I’m sad to say this place is a 2 stars.
Fellow Asians or Asian/Thai food lovers: beware. Unfortunately, the taste is hardly Thai. Ingredients seem to be used sparingly and the flavor is about as Thai as Trader Joe’s ethnic food… except Trader Joe’s is actually kind of good… this place barely checks the box.
Curry: watery, hardly creamy, few lumps of chicken
Basil crispy duck: 20.99. Read it again. 20.99. Any duck that wasn’t covered in the watery sauce/soup was decent… but the veggies seemed more distracting then appetizing… and almost as a way to cover what was there. The crispy part of the duck tasted good.
The most regrettable part: the food was SO underwhelming for the price. These are DC or LA prices for ethnic food in Ohio… cmon now. Two beverages, spring rolls, salad, curry, basics duck … $60+ … Rest in Peace
Was holding out on judging until the end and unfortunately the journey just never got better. Really feeling like the place is just a money machine… if it works… then good on them. But like another comment here said, I felt cheated out of a meal.
Oh well! We tried to finish what we could because we were hungry, craving Thai, and don’t like to waste food.
Will not come back!
I recently came home to Ohio to visit with family and I met my best friend here for dinner. It was absolute perfection. She had the crispy duck and I had the drunken noodle. We also had the Spring rolls and everything was divine. The only thing missing from the menu is alcohol but other than that everything was on point. I will most definitely return when I travel back to Ohio.
Excellent food. The lemongrass soup is so flavorful.
We stopped by here grab lunch after my medical injection procedure since we were so hungry. The food here tasted well and spicy up to the levels that customers requested. Pad Thai level 4 was good, Papaya salad was a good hit, and combo #2 had some good mix of food and tasty. Drink (mango boba) was Okay. Order taken was fast, but some of the food items came out very slow (peak hrs at lunch). Restroom is super clean and Parking is plenty. Will be back whenever my wife takes us there. Thanks
Great food, bait pricey but what is not exspensive these days.
I work at WSU and this gem is in my lunch rotation. I usually order the chicken pad Thai which is consistently delicious and served quickly, hot & fresh, from the kitchen. They also have several combos to choose from at lunch time.
THE best
Tik’s Thai Express has one big advantage over its competition, and that’s the variety on the menu. There’s several things that seem specific to this place, with their own noodle dish with a really nice sauce, some seafood options beyond just shrimp, and soft rolls like you might find at some Vietnamese restaurants but with avocado as a twist. It’s also one of the few places to offer larb gai, and the fact that this is so uncommon is a mystery to me considering how famous that dish is.
The flavors were good through everything here, though the way their south curry cut the potatoes made each try at that color and shape into a game of whether it was a potato or a pineapple chunk. The spice level seemed to vary widely; 2 people went for medium spice, and one dish was significantly spicier than the other. That along with prices that are much higher than the Thai places closer to me prevents me from giving the otherwise good place that fifth star. Still worth trying at least once if you’re going in knowing you’re paying a bit more, as the food is different and done rather well.
Didn't know what to expect but it was all delicious. Just know you spice level before ordering.
Cuisine trop épicée pour les enfants malgré une annonce de not spicy at all...
Mais le curry était bon et les pâtes aussi
We asked for no spice with our pad Thai and it was so spicy we couldn’t even eat our food. We enjoy spicy food but it was miserable to eat…and to add insult to injury it was sooo expensive and we couldn’t even eat it.
Excellent Pad Thai!
This is one of mine and my husband’s favorite places to get Thai. The wait staff is always great. The food is superb and the price is affordable. You can also get boba here which is great. It is conveniently located off of 675 on Colonel Glenn. The restaurant is always clean and has a good ambiance.
I ordered the bourbon chicken with fried rice. It was really good, however I love spicy food so I ordered a level 2 heat to be on the safe side and the 2 was extremely hot. Next time I’m going to get a 1
Lots of menu to choose from and their foods were excellent - freshly cooked and taste good even the desert. Presentation was also great!
Never let down by the food here. Always has fresh taste and ample serving size.
Best Tom Ka in the area. Great staff. Quiet enough to have a conversation with you lunch mates without shouting. Highly recommend for an hour lunch that feels leisurely.
Good little Thai restaurant near Wright State. Menu contained most traditional Thai entrees. The food was good. It wasn't the best Thai food I've had in Dayton, but I will continue eating at Tik's. Pleasant decor.
Steamed pot stickers were excellent!
A decent Thai restaurant. The food was the best I've had while traveling in a long time. The decor was lacking but I bought take-out.
My new favorite place to experience Thai food.
I have had so many good experiences here. My husband gets the Love's Vegetable dish and I get bourbon chicken. I have always been happy with the service and the food.
Great Thai food in the beavercreek area. I've ordered from here numerous times with large groups from work and haven't had an issue. I however have a simple palette and generally tend to stick to my favorite dishes most notably the Thai fried rice. Just be cautious with the heat because they don't undersell their medium.
Meh
Fresh rolls with veggies, avocado, tofu really tasty. On the more expensive side, especially for lunch.
Aroi mak
All together a great dinning experience a bit too expensive for some of the portioning.
The waitress said it we could order the food non spicy. It came to the table covered in red pepper flakes and was so spicy I couldn’t swallow it. Then said they couldn’t take it off our bill All they could do was give us something else. Even though it wasn’t our fault it came out spicy. I don’t recommend unless you really like spicy food. If I could put zero stars I would
Great food and wonderful service!!!
Food and service is always good. I visit here 2-3 times per month for lunch.
