Pad Thai Express: Authentic Thai Cuisine in Olympia, WA

Tried this place for the first time last week and I really enjoyed it! I true the chicken pad Tai and ordered egg rolls with it. I also got a Tai iced tea, which I highly recommend! The pad Tai was great! I was asked when I ordered for level of spice I wanted 1-5...I said a 2... and it was perfect. It was so flavorful and just a hint of spice. It was a huge portion as well, enough for two meals. The egg rolls were the best I've had in town for a crunchy spring roll type egg roll. I will be back to try a couple other things and I know I will crave those spring Rolls! I would recommend this spot to others as well.

Good, accurate spice level on the Pad Kee Maow. Noodles were a bit thin for this dish, but still pretty good. Very hot wok, fresh and tasty. The fresh shrimp roll was good, the peanut sauce was amazing. They don't have lunch specials or portions, and that would have been nice during the lunch hours, but, that's ok. Had a huge plate to take home. No places to sit mid-day. Luckily a couple people left while waiting, so a spot came open. Seems to be a very popular spot.

Food has me speechless, it is so amazing!!! Fresh and original recipes. Best Thai Tea and Pad Tai I have ever had!!! Spice levels are very accommodating and accurate. Will be my number one place for pickup!!! Very Generous Portions at a Great Price!!!

I can't believe I've slept on this place for seven years. Had the beef salad. Spicy is rated 1-5... But I dug a little bit deeper and if 5 doesn't hit you hard enough....

I love the cashew chicken stir fry here. Nice people, tasty food. It's a little speedy, bit where isn't these days? This is one of my regular go-to spots.

I love Thai food, so I’m always game to try a “new to me” spot. Pad Thai Express was right next door to where I was having a blood draw. So, after 16 hours of fasting, I arrived with a hearty appetite. The place has tables for inside dining. You either order at a self serve kiosk (debit or credit orders) or at the counter (cash orders). The restaurant itself is ok. Nothing to “wow” you, but it seemed clean, albeit a bit cluttered in the front with some boxes off to the side. The order process was easy. I went with a fresh shrimp salad roll with peanut sauce and their garlic lover’s plate with chicken and white rice. The salad roll was fresh and crispy. Paired with their peanut sauce, which was delish, i give them a solid 5 stars. I would definitely order those again. The garlic chicken was very flavorful, and with a heat level of 3, good enough to make my upper lip get a little sweaty. Just the way I like it. The veggies were plentiful, but a bit on the mushy side for me. I think a few minutes less on the heat would have been perfect. I give that dish a 3, just for the mushy veggies. The flavor was good, but overcooked carrots, broccoli and cabbage made me sad. The portion size was good. I had leftovers for later on! Not sure I’d order the garlic chicken again, though. The young man who brought my order was pleasant, polite and quiet. The cook offered me a kind smile, and seemed nice. Overall a solid 4. I will try them again and order something different to see if i can change my review to a 5 all around. Till then, a solid 4 for the restaurant.

We are new to the area and love Thai food so we thought we'd check it out. We ordered online which was super easy and picked up the food. Online said it would be 15 min. Ended up being about 25 min. We ordered the Pineapple Curry and Chow Mein. Both were excellent! The portions were big so we had leftovers. We worshed it down with some Thai Tea which was also delicious. This place will be a staple for us.

I really love getting Thai food here when its not too busy. Probably my favorite place for boba tea. They have always treated me with respect and I hope to someday enjoy the restaurant for the central place it has in the community. Their food is authentic and offers depth you can get without having to go downtown. I've only ever had their pad Thai, but their woks and smells are incredible. But they get busy, so it's often good to go when the luck is high. Thank you for all the staff who have preserved this restaurant. It means a lot they observe Sundays and always a great place for food when I need to get my studies done.
