Thai Express

I try to make healthy choices, so Thai food is a good decision. I sometimes go to Thai express and went to the ones downtown Toronto. They were ok. Today, I chose to go to Thai Express when in the mall in Sherway Gardens, Etobicoke. I noticed right away the meal was made in less than two seconds and it looked sloppy and pale. I asked the fellow … ‘it’s done already” … he just replied «yes». I looked down at the sloppy mess and decided I would try it. Well it tasted worse than it looked. I mean how hard is it to swish around some veg and some chicken, spray some sauce on it in a wok and make a reasonable product? Anyway, my advice is to stay away from this place, the staff really have contempt for the customers. YUCK FOOD.

Yuck.
The only thing good about my meal was the tap water in a big cup she gave me.
Thought I would do the less fatty route during the shopping break at Sherway, but now, I highly recommend the rest of the food court than this (and New York Fries has Butter Chicken Poutine)
but I digress
This one is owned by some Mandarin/​cantonese speaking people. But I wouldn’t think this affected the food. I got a Pad Sew Vegetarian (description says large rice noodle, broccoli and something that’s crossed out)
I also asked for this in medium spicy.
What I got was this soy sauce (too much) covered noodles with little bits of broccoli, old cabbage and carrots, and some weird things that looked like tofu. And on a plate no less. (tip: do not say you will eat there. the box is much cooler «to go» and you don’t see the awful presentation)
It tasted salty and nasty. I could have done better at home.

Fast food Thai Food, what do you expect?
Now with many locations in the GTA, this was the first place where Thai Express was introduced. For something that’s fast food it’s pretty good.
You have the usual pad thai, general tao, fried rice, and soup. Each come with an option of meat or veggie at a different price. As well you get to choose how spicy you would like it. If you’re use to spicy food I would go extra spicy b/​c it really doesn’t kick in unless you ask for extra spicy.
The two servers at the front are very friendly to me and still give me a discount even though it has been years since I’ve worked at Sherway Gardens.
For fast food don’t expect to get the greatest Thai food ever b/​c you’re not. You’re gonna get something that will set you while working or shopping at the mall. The price of the food is decent however you can get better tasting Thai food at about the same price if not more at a way better restaurant.
