Charoen Express - Austin

Ordered from DoorDash. Thumbs up on speed, the garlic chicken. A meh to everything else? pad Thai, crab Rangoons, mango sticky rice, and crab fried rice. The sticky rice was a bit gummy. The crab fried rice needed a little something, and the pad Thai wasgood but a little sweet. I am half Thai and have lived in Thailand so I know my standards are high. This wasn?t my favorite, butI would order again. The portions were pretty good for everything but the garlic chicken.

Probably the best pad Thai I?ve ever tried, it?s kind of smoky and not oily at all. The curries are always good, as well as the Brussels sprouts. The entrees are usually very big portions.

--- The photo below shows the meal I ordered: beef curry. I had hoped the restaurant would have improved its small portion sizes, but today was my worst experience yet. 1. My beef curry was mostly fat, with hardly any meat. 2. Where is the quality and consistency in all the meals? 3. While this restaurant has potential, it desperately needs to improve its food quality and customer satisfaction. To the restaurant: please don’t serve customers a dish filled with fat and think it’s acceptable. Focus on enhancing the quality and consistency of your meals! Customer satisfaction is crucial if you want to keep us coming back, but after today, I won't be ordering again. I gave this restaurant multiple chances, but I'm done. I ended up throwing the entire meal away. Additionally, I previously mentioned the portion sizes in my review on Google. The beef curry was disappointing, filled with fat instead of meat, and the portion of rice for $2 was extremely small—certainly not worth even $0.50. --- Feel free to modify any parts if you'd like a different tone!

The wings here are absolutely the best! They maintain their crispiness for a long time, and each dish is packed with flavor. The portions are generous, and everything is prepared flawlessly. You must try the mango sticky rice—it's not overly sweet; just perfect!

I ordered delivery, and the food arrived hot. The portion was slightly smaller than I expected. The Pad Thai was good, but the Pad See Ew was a bit too salty. I'm hoping my next experience will be better.
