I am still not entirely certain where Thai Express ranked in my conscious. I can't say I am a big fan of it for Thai food nor do I dislike it entirely. It is just an average outlet with decent Thai food. To me I always prefer Simply Thai (not sure if it is still around) for its simple, hearty Thai fare.
Thai Express seemed to have too many things and I am not sure if they are all that authentic. Nevertheless, it does have some pretty ok stuff.
I have tried quite a number of dishes over the last few years but I only tried the beef noodles soup recently and I was impressed! It came with very generous serving of beef slices which were pretty tender. There were more beef and veggies than the noodles, I like that. The soup was tasty and not too MSG-laden.
Other dishes which I usually ordered are the seafood green curry laksa. It is a mild curry that is very lemak (coconutty). Pad Thai is another item which is good.
I am not too impressed with its olive rice or shrimp belecan rice. The mango salad was not too bad, refreshing. The chicken wings are ok, tofu squares a bit boring.
I like Thai iced milk tea though. That is my usual fave drink and the beef noodles my fave thai dish. But I still think Simply Thai version of the beef noodles is better.
The tom yam soup was spicy, not bad.

hehe, you're right to be wary of the 'Express' in the title :p most of those places tend to be blah...
It's funny though because IMO one of the best tasting (sans MSG, [i think]) Beef Noodle (Vietnamese) places that I've tried is in the Pacific Center foodcourt :p
Maybe it just tastes better because I'm usually starving when I order it :D
I'm fairly impartial regarding Thai food as well, but I can't get enough of Pad Thai and Tom Yam :)
I gotta try that next time I am back. I always love the beef noodles in Canada.
