Review by Renee

I recently dined at Thai Express and was genuinely impressed! 🌟 I tried the Chicken Panang Curry - rich in coconut flavor and perfect for balancing the spiciness of the Tom Yum soup. The fragrant lemon leaves in the soup provided an amazing kick that I loved! The casual ambiance made it a chill spot to unwind, and the outdoor seating is a bonus. Just keep an eye on the spice levels; I'd recommend starting around a level 2 or 3. Can't wait to return!
