| - Thai Express is a quick-service chain that offers Thai-influenced appetizers (imperial rolls and spring rolls), salads (mango, shrimp and noodle, and chicken and noodle), mini soups with noodles (tom yum soup and regular soup), quick stir-fries (tom yum, noodle soups made with chicken broth, curry (red, green, and yellow), fried rice, pad thai, and pad see ewe. Located conveniently right off the Metro, we had seen ads after ads of this place, so we were curious in checking in out! We tried the General Thai Beef (mango panko beef that were super crispy, covered in a sweet chili sauce, over steamed rice with tons of bell peppers; this was actually pretty good! The sauce itself was thicker and coated the beef strips, the veggies, and the rice really well; rice was of the typical 'fast food' version where some bits were under- or overcooked), and the Pad See Ewe (we opted for the chicken; this was pretty inedible, as the noodles used were of such low quality; it was dried out, not cooked all the way through, and there was no sauce that dressed the chicken or the noodles; the dish was completely flavorless). I really think I would get cravings for their General Thai Beef, and I sure would order it if was set as one of the options at a food court in a mall; I personally think it's better than the other quick-service Chinese joints. The Thai influence isn't really there, but for something quick and freshly stir-fried, this place can really satisfy some hunger; they really stuff the take-out boxes (which the designs are pretty cute). The place itself is bright and has plenty of seats. There's also some great music videos playing, so you can jam while stuffing your face.
