Thai Express Restaurant Markham — Restaurant in Markham

After walking around Markville mall for an hour or so, my gf got hungry and couldn't decide what to eat so we hiked over to the food court.

She decided to get a chicken pad thai from this spot. Frankly, I didn't have high expectations as the bar for Thai food has been set quite high by some of the authentic spots I've been to.

My gf told me there was a Thai Express on her campus back in her uni days that actually hooked her up with the chubbiest portions so it held some sentimental value.

I kept my expectations rather low in all fairness.

When she got her order and tried some, I was pleasantly surprised! Obviously it wasn't among the best we've had but I could definitely taste tamarind in the sauce (very important) and no ketchup. There was also a good amount of toppings and protein running through it and the overall portion was nice and big.

It was actually a fairly decent pad...

Came here a few times but each time there's more and more shrinkflation. Last time I ordered the pad see ew and they changed the containers to smaller round ones from the white rectangle and the food only filled HALF of the container! For $17?! And it was so wet like soup and way too sweet. I wanted to say something but I was afraid they might add some extra ingredients in the form of sneezes or other dirty things into my food. And the pay terminal asks for a tip! No way. Other food court places don't have the tip option. Hmm, now that I think of it maybe because I didn't tip that they took away half of my noodles. Never going back...

Thai Express has always been one of my favorite restaurants, and every visit leaves me completely satisfied! Their food is always fresh and delicious, especially the Pad Thai and Tom Yum Soup, with each bite bursting with authentic Thai flavors. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, and the service is exceptional – the staff are always smiling and quick to respond. Whether dining in or taking out, the quality of the dishes remains consistent. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves Thai cuisine! Whether you’re looking for a quick meal or a place to enjoy with friends and family, this is the perfect choice. A well-deserved...
