Taste of Thai Express: Authentic Thai Cuisine in Ithaca

I’ve eaten at many Thai restaurants around the country and this place still makes the 2nd best pad see ew I’ve had. I get that dish every restaurant to test it and this is always top of the list. I came here a lot in college 10 years ago and decided to give it a go when I came back to visit. It was still very delicious. My party also got drunken noodles, fried rice, chicken satay, spring rolls, and loved them. Service was friendly, quick, exactly what you’d expect. It wasn’t busy when we went but regardless no issues.

Decent place for Thai food. The shrimp curry was good, pad Thai not so good. Calamaris were good

I was so excited to make a trip down to come back! I love over an hour away now and I was really craving the jasmine tea and a couple other items I used to get while working in the area. The server Leslie was super sweet and polite, despite not having a ton of other tables in the restaurant the food did take a little while but she came over multiple times to check on us and to make sure we had everything we needed. The next time I take the trip again I’m excited to come back!

Chicken satay was delicious! Peanut sauce was fabulous. Lettuce wraps were perfect. Spring rolls were fresh and their sweet peanut dip was perfection. Atmosphere was nice with soft jazz.

Me and my friends visit this restaurant during our trip to Ithaca. I ordered red curry, it was tasty. They said it is spicy but it is not for me. The rice was a bit dry. My friend ordered seafood fried rice, it was really good. I also try my friend’s tom yum, it was okay. Not the best tom yum I ever tried.

I ordered through Door Dash and my order didn’t come as expected. I called the restaurant and realized it was my fault. The person was extremely helpful and understanding. She explained all of the options I had which were all customer focused. Even though it was my fault they made it right and redelivered the food hot. Order directly if you can. I can’t express how much it meant to receive kind, professional, and great customer service. I forgot it still existed. Thank you!!!

Consistently a solid, great place to go in Ithaca. Good quality food? Check. Spicy enough? Check. Good service? Sometimes slow when busy but they're sure to explain and apologize for any delays. Great prices? Definitely. Portions are huge so I always with leftovers!

Drunken friend rice w chicken and basil Thai stir fry with chicken. Chicken was good, possibly chargrilled and vegetables were fresh. Great spice level. Restaurant isn’t full open post pandemic but accommodated is with take out and allowed us to sit at outside tables.
