I’ve eaten here several times before but the food quality is so variable! Sometimes it’s passably decent(by food court standards), but today was definitely not one of those days. I ordered my usual — the Chicken Pad Thai, & made a combo of it with pop & a spring roll. The spring roll was crispy and really greasy but the taste was decent. It was the Pad Thai that really missed the mark(& this wasn’t the first time it did). The noodles were clumpy(stuck together in chunks), chicken bits were hard to chew on and scarce, and virtually no egg could be found(there’s supposed to be some egg stir-fried in this dish). Hit-or-miss quality, but I might come back again later on, if I have a craving for greasy crispy spring rolls again on a rainy day. On a side note though, the take-out boxes are super cute!

One stars because sometimes its pretty bang on and good today whole thing thrown in the garbage. Today ordered the pad thai beef with mushrooms. This was the most disgusting experience the noodles clumped together, charge extra $ 1.00 for mushrooms but there are maybe 3 in the whole box. asked for medium spice and this was extremely spice. Dry with little to no sauce other then hot sauce burning my tounge. Great job keep up the shitty work

‘Thai Express’ — one would assume this is fast food thai. But what Thai Express really means is a cheap, pseudo-version of cutting corners to recreate something Asianese that is good enough for the ignorant masses. Everybody raves about the Pad Thai. I’ve ordered it every time knowing that it’s what I’m craving and I will(usually) enjoy it. But it’s NOT pad thai!!! It is, in all reality, a compacted mass of chewy noodles with mystery sauce. And whatever ever addition you ask for(chicken, shrimp, etc). This pad thai dish resembles chow mein more closely than it will ever resemble authentic pad thai.

I think this is the location inside Waterfront Center. I ate here the other day while I had some time to kill. This place had a line so I assumed the food would be Good. I ordered the Pad Thai and an Imperial roll. I watched the chefs quickly clean the wok with boiling water over high heat. Then he added my veg and sauce alone with noodles and a small amount of chicken. Looked nice and freshly cooked! Sat down and took a bit into my «Imperial Roll». YUCK!!! EWW. Ew. Thank the gods that the Pad thai made up for it. However that Imperial ROll was just nasty. Disgusting,. STAYAWAYFROMTHEROLLS, PEOPLE!

I feel like I am the only one with this feeling towards this place. Obviously, I was visiting from out of town so this isn’t a place I could easily go back to but I actually really liked what I had at least. Twice I ate here and both times I had the TomYum Noodle soup with tofu. It was freaking delicious. I mean, okay the flavor could use some work but overall I enjoyed it very much and it was filling. For the price I paid which is standard in food courts I guess, I got a large amount. Service though, could have been friendlier. The cashier had an attitude and when I ordered my soup with tofu, she gave me this look of «wtf are you thinking». I like tofu, what is wrong with that??? In any case, it wasn’t horrible okay. For a food court, the soup was tasty. Maybe I just have weird taste buds but I grew up on Thai food, so yea. Whatevs. ^^

Standard thai food prices but subpar thai food quality. It is in a food court so I guess expectations can’t be too high but the food was bland and my noodles were really rubbery as if they had been sitting out for awhile. My friend also got a curry dish that came with eggplant that they forgot, when he mentioned it, they just gave him 2 pieces of uncooked eggplant… Definitely can get better thai food for the same price elsewhere

I was so happy to find a Thai restaurant in a food court. I liked how they prepared the food in front of you so I was expecting something really good and really fresh. WRONG. I ordered the Pad Sew. About the only positive thing I can say is that the portion size is very generous. The amount of noodles in my dish could feed 2 – 3 people. However, there was more broccoli leaves(about 4) than there was broccoli. If I hadn’t been searching for the broccoli I would have missed it. I had a small tablespoon size glob of egg. And, since I ordered the tofu version — I had about 8 – 10 tiny(I mean really tiny like smaller than a sugar cube) bites of tofu. To top it off the noodles were rubbery and chewy. It was so disappointing that I gave up eating and tossed it. I was disappointed I tried something new. I should have eaten at Fat Burger.

For Thai Fast Food based out of a food court. You cannot go wrong here. The food is hella fast(if you don’t get stuck in the lunch rush lineups) and is really tasty… get it in a takeout box so you can eat it outside or take it back to the office and not face the hectic food court.

Have to give this just an ok rating. The food is amazing. .. . if you ever get it!!! If you go from anytime from 11:45 to 1:15 they are smokin’ busy…takes at least 10 minutes to order and another 10 minutes to get your food. No thanks. They seem very inefficient and understaff. C’mon guys, is there anything you can do to speed up the process?!

I was walking at the Waterfront Centre heading towards the Chinese kiosk for my usual veggies for lunch when I saw a big line up at this new thai place. I believe it replaced a sandwich/bagel/coffee place. I decided to give it a try for two reasons: 1) The line moved relatively quickly and 2) Food was made right in front of you in an authentic wok I had the green curry chicken rice. The chicken was coated with a batter that I assumed was to make it crunchy but since it was slathered in sauce, there was no crunchy-ness to it. Aside from that, the flavours, the portion, the flavours, the freshness, oh did I say FLAVOURS, were amazing. I’ll definitely go back again when I have a craving for thai at lunch.
