“When you go into other franchise restaurants it’s always the same, whether you go into this one on this street or that one on that street.

When you come into Thaï Express, though, it’s different. Every Thaï Express is familiar — but there’s a uniqueness, and customers really respond to that. The friendly atmosphere, the great service and the amazing food keeps them coming back again and again.”
