Ban Sai Express

I live 45 minutes away from this restaurant. However, that does not stop me from coming here as much as I have a chance to. First off, the food is very authentic and delicious, much more delicious than you would expect coming from a place in a small town in Ohio. This is coming from someone who have had Thai food in Thailand. The owners were so nice and I always feel welcomed here. Overall, highly recommended!

Don't let the strip mall fool you. Some of the best food joints are found here and the same goes for this little gem.I ordered a yellow curry, spice level 4 (out of 5) with jasmine rice and a water. The food looked, smelled, and tasted delicious. Great depth of flavor in the curry and the chicken was freshly cooked in it. The potatoes were done nicely and the broccoli inside maintained some texture and wasn't mushy. It's a very small, hole-in-the-wall kind of place, so plan to take-out instead of eat in. The man who took my order was polite and courteous and he checked on me while I ate to ensure I was satisfied with my meal.I rate a 5, despite my personal food preferences. The yellow curry was perfectly spicy, but a touch too sweet (again, my personal taste). Overall flavor was FANTASTIC and the portion was perfect (I ordered a small).

A little place that serves home cooked Thai food with very substantial portion. Both soup and curry are their "smaller" portion option and they are easily 2-3 times the size I am used to. Good value. The flavor hit the spot, both really good tasting that keeps you wanting to keep eating. However, I suspect they are catering to more North American taste bud, they are a bit heavy handed in their use of sugar... after a bit I do feel a bit overwhelmed by the sweetness. Certainly a location I would take out from again.

Excellent. I mean, just excellent. Located in a rundown strip mall, it is tiny, with just three little tables. Clean and comfy enough to eat there, but I'm sure most business is to go. The menu is also small, but absolutely packed with interesting items. I love Thai food, and most of it was familiar, but a few things I'd never seen. I got pad see ew, small portion, with pork. Also a fresh roll, and a steamed bun. And every single thing was outstanding. The bun was doughy, filled with seasoned meat, and just an incredible appetizer. The fresh roll was also great- lettuce, pork (or chicken if you want,) carrots, etc., in a translucent wrap. Served with a great peanut sauce. And the pad see ew, one of my favorite Thai dishes, was perfect: soft wide noodles, tender meat, tasty sauce, a few veggies and bits of egg. I asked for medium since you never know how hot "hot" will be. It had a bit of zip, was very flavorful, but I could have gone hotter. No pop, just water and Thai tea. But man, that tea: cold, sweet, creamy, delicious.No, it's not a fancy place. But the food is the star here. If I had something like this nearby, I'd be in every week, if not more often. Prices were reasonable, service was great, and the food is just stellar.

Authentic Thai street food at great prices, meals are tasty and filling, takeout stays hot for HOURS and most importantly, the right kind of rice for the curry. The "other" Thai place around here doesn't even use jasmine rice... This spot's got food made with passion the traditional way. Love these guys

I struggled finding some good Thai food when I relocated from the DC area, but this place is phenomenal. Great service, wide variety of choices on the menu, and the food is exceptional. It is my new go to spot.

Very good food. Phad Thai, green curry, Tom yum kung. Ordered ahead. Don't be afraid to order spicy if you like heat. Medium was pretty mild.

Best Thai food around here! Mom and pop restaurant! They are the sweetest! The wait might take a little longer but the wait is so worth the food.

Consistently great food and service!My favorite Asian restaurant! Definitely worth the money!

Value- very good for portion size Service- 45 mins for take outI ordered the Thai fried rice and sweet and sour shrimp. Fried rice was not your typical Thai due to too much soy sauce and flavor wasn't the same. Disappointed with the experience since Thai choices in Newark is very limited. The sweet and sour shrimp was ok. Unfortunately this will be my first and last trip here.
