What User dislikes about Thai Expression:
Good menu, good prices, big servings but quite plain food. The service was friendly but a little slow. The main thing was how extremely noisy it was!! A combination of the extractor fan in the kitchen, the food being cooked, and the staff talking made it almost impossible to hear the person across the table from me. However if you're getting takeaway obviously this isn't an issue. Overall it was fine but there are be... View all feedback.

This is a great little place for a quick take away lunch. Friendly staff and quick freshly cooked service with food that is full of flavour. Good portion size, in fact it was bursting out of the container (not a negative comment) and the price...is very reasonable for the location.

Have been a couple of times now for take away and have no complaints. Have had different dishes each time and all equally good. It's all fresh, tasty and reasonably priced. Will be back.

This restaurant is very good, food is fresh and is quite close to authentic Thai food found in Thailand. After living in Thailand for years this is my go to restaurant. Staff are well trained and polite and prices are great. Only point letting...it down is the atmosphere. But take away from this place is great. No complaints here. Highly recommended!

It seems like there are mixed reviews for this place. We went here recently, we were dropping someone off at Five Dock for an evening event and instead of driving back home and coming back to pick them up, we of us) decided to...eat dinner at Five Dock and wait around until After walking up and down the street times we decided to settle for this place. We got the seafood fried rice, which had a good variety of fish, prawn, mussels and squid in it. The serving size was large and the of us only just finished it. We also got the sticky rice and custard dessert (ordered them together before realising the rice was enough). The fried rice tasted really nice actually, and the fish was nice and tender and so was the mussels. The squid was over cooked and tough though. The prawn was okay, they were large prawns so tougher than the small prawns you get in Chinese fried rice sometimes, I much prefer those kinds of prawn. The sticky rice dessert was okay, the custard wasn't sweet which was fine because the rice was sweet, but not overly sweet. Service: This is a family restaurant and we went on a weekday evening and it was very quiet except for a few takeaway orders. I feel the service was fine, the lady asked us if we wanted the dessert later or at the same time with our meal, and we said later, so she kept an eye on our meal and brought the dessert over hot when we finished. Good timing. We also asked for hot instead of cold water and even though it seemed like it wasn't something they usually do, the waitress brought us some hot water in a teapot and frequently came over to top it up without us asking. I saw people complain about the noise of the exhaust fan. The kitchen is sort of open and right next to the seating so when they are cooking, yes you can definitely hear the exhaust fan when it is on, but not so loud that it was unbearable (we sat at the window, on the opposite side of the room to the kitchen). We also didn't have to shout to hear each other. Honestly it doesn't even matter since this is not a quiet fine dining area anyway, and some upper range restaurants also have open kitchens/grills and they are noisy too. We had dinner there, and they close at We asked if we could stay there until they closed since there was no where else for us to go to, and they let us stay there until Overall, I think from my experience there, it is a nice family run restaurant, and is a local restaurant. You can park off the street. The price was also great, just under for people, for the fried rice and dessert.

We haven't tried sitting in the restaurant of Thai Expression to have a meal but we certainly will do after this evening's take-away. Quickly delivered by a friendly driver and absolutely delicious, piping hot food. The chicken satay starter had lovely thick and sumptuous sauce...and the Penang curry was to die for! My partner enjoyed his prawn green curry just as much. Thank you Thai Expression!

We have been here few times, being Vegetarians enjoyed good options. Price moderate, when full of people it can be bit stuffy, as no proper fresh air. Else good experience.

Lunch at this restaurant always tastes fantastic. The food is on par with meals I have enjoyed in Thailand. The staff is also very friendly and welcoming.

Good little family run Thai restaurant. Nothing flash in terms of decor (quite basic) but good place for a quick (cheap) lunch or takeaway (as opposed to an intimate dinner). Nice fresh ingredients.

Overall, this restaurant is pretty good. The lunch special offers great value. The food is slightly above average and the prices are also reasonable. It's worth a try if you're in the area.

No matter where I travel in the world I cannot ever forget the food from this place. I have not returned to Australia I almost 5 years but this will be the first place I eat at when I go back. The stuffed wings and calamari and an absolute must! Spring rolls amazing too! The Thai fried rice with chicken and Beef pad Thai were my go to dishes but I have tried at least 50% of the menu and I have never been disappointed. I used to order delivery at least once a week. Still dreaming of this place....
