| - I've been seeing this place since I came to Montreal, and decided to give it a try two nights ago. I stopped eating fast food 7 years ago (McDonalds, Burger King, KFC, etc) but this menu seemed a little less bad, so I tried it.
I ordered a meal sized portion of Tom Yum soup, and the vegetable fried roll. It was pretty bad honestly. I mean, I was expecting it to be kind of crappy, with over bearing flavors hiding the crap ingredients like cheap asian etc, but it wasn't even that.
The spring roll was alright, it was about as good as the frozen ones you chuck in the oven, which I actually like. But this was $3 per one, and kinda small. Anyway, gobbled it and on to soup.
The soup was pretty big, but when I opened it and tried it it was pretty bad. It just tasted and looked like sprouts floating in boiling water. After stirring a bit, I found noodles and two shrimps, but the shrimps were kinda gross tasting, and the soup just tasted like a stock cube. I was starving so I drank about half the soup and then left it. Really unimpressed. And alright Tom Yum is not hard to make.
I won't order from here again or ever go. The whole thing was like $16, and there is a Pho place next to my house that sells great Pho for $10, I will ALWAYS go there over Thai Express. In fact I would even if it was $20.
Remember, I am aware this is a fast food restaurant, and the review reflects that. ie, Harvey's would be 4 stars, McDonald's 3.
