Overall, it was a disappointing experience. The restaurant wasn’t busy at all , just one other table besides ours, yet the food took quite a long time to arrive. We ordered the drunken noodles, and I was surprised that the dish wasn’t served hot. Some chicken pieces were actually cold inside, like food that’s been unevenly reheated in a microwave. The rice noodles were also clumped together, four or five layers stuck without any sauce coating. The potatoes in the yellow curry also tasted off. Overall, the food didn’t feel fresh or hot, and even the table we sat at was sticky. I wouldn’t recommend this Thai restaurant. I’ve tried plenty of Thai places over the years, and there are many others that are much better.

Tried to order delivery via Door Dash. I’ve been a customer of Taste of Thai Express for years but never again. Food was over an hour and a half late. Called the restaurant and was told the Door Dash driver had just picked up the food – that was a lie. Called again half an hour later and another person arranged for the restaurant driver to deliver. Then that driver could not follow specific directions and just left the food at a random door to my apartment building. I’m done with Taste of Thai Express. Food is good but not worth the hassle.

Food:
Ordered two Drunken Noodles with tofu. The taste was good, but there was barely any tofu in my dish. The food was not hot enough—some items felt like they were at room temperature.
Service:
Service was noticeably slow.
Ambience:
The restaurant has a great atmosphere with large glass windows. There’s also outdoor seating available.
Cleanliness:
Both the restaurant and restroom were clean.
Parking:
Free parking is available, but spots are limited.
Overall:
Good taste and clean setting, but the portion quality, food temperature, and speed of service could be improved.

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!!!

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.

The spring rolls were dripping oil, but okay enough. The chicken satay was very good. The thai fried rice and curry were okay, but not something we would order again. The drunken noodles were inedible as they were spongy noodles that were drowning in sauce and oil. The restaurant is dirty and sticky, and the food looked like it was half dropped before getting to the table. We had been considering this place for catering but quickly realized it was a definite no. The obvious lack of cleanliness is concerning.

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!

First experience and probably last. Did drive thru pick up. Supposed to be ready at 6:18. 6:20 they asked me to pull to the Dunkin parking lot next door and they’ll let me know when it is ready.
6:50, I walk up to the window to ask if it was done and the lady had to go to the back to check on it. She returned a couple minutes later and handed me a bag and said it just got finished. I stick my hand in and the containers are warm, not hot. So, it clearly was not JUST done. The Chinese food that had been sitting on a counter at the Ling Ling restaurant for 20 minutes waiting for us was WAY hotter.
Got the food back to the house, opened it up and it was not hot and almost room temp. The flavor was good but not worth the 30 minutes extra sitting there.
On a plus, having a Dunkin Donuts right there allowed my Fiance to get a coffee while we waited!
Overall, if you decide to give it a shot, do NOT do the drive thru to pick up your food.
On a side note, we got the Yellow Curry and the Pinapple Fried Rice. The Sesame Chicken and the Beef & Broccoli were from Ling Ling’s and I HIGHLY recommend them.

Summary: The food is great but portion sizes are an issue.
We love Taste of Thai’s flavors but we’re disappointed in the portions we’ve received in our recent takeout orders.
For the boxes to be around 70% full is unreasonable. While I understand that inflation plays a role, the dishes we order are primarily noodle and rice— those ingredients are low-cost.
Additionally, something that is even more disgruntling is that when we select (and pay for) extra protein or extra veggies, we don’t really notice an increase in whatever ingredient we select. Alas, we will be back because it’s our favorite Thai spot but I hope they rectify their portions and pay attention when someone pays for extra ingredients.
