[Irvine] [Thai] Thai & Chinese Express

Thai & Chinese Express
2540 Main St #J
Irvine, CA 92614
(949) 724-1813

I brought http://www.eileenlikestoeat.com a 2-items lunch combo from Thai & Chinese Express once before.  Dr. P loved it.  Since then he had gone back a few times to pick up the combo meal to bring to work.  One night I was feeling lazy and asked Dr. P to bring some food on his way back http://www.eileenlikestoeat.com from work.  When Dr. P suggested Thai & Chinese Express, I immediately said, "YES! Pad Thai!!"


Pad Thai w/ Chicken ($6.25)

I had a sudden craving for Pad Thai for some reason.  Dr. P didn't like pad thai.  He said pad thai always tastes too sweet for him.  I ate the pad thai, and couldn't stop eating it.  It wasn't all that sweet at all.  It was savory with just a little bit of sweetness, spicy, and a little sour from lime juice.  It was a very very good pad thai.  At first Dr. P didn't even want to try it.  But I insisted that he needed to try a few bites.  He ended up loving it, too.



Green Curry Chicken ($6.25)

They only offer 2-item combo for lunch.  Everything is a la carte for dinner.  Dr. P loves their Green Curry Chicken ever since the first time he tried it.  I also agree that Thai & Chinese Express has really really good green curry.  I can eat so many bowls of rice just with that green curry sauce.

Portion is big.  This was enough food for 2~3 meals for both of us.  The price is very cheap.  Great cheap eats in Irvine!

  3. Eileen, next time you or Dr. P can ask if they can make other dishes. The lady once told me that as long as they have the ingredients, they will make any special dish you like - Thai boat noodles, prik khing pork, etc. to the Thai level of spiciness. You may have to wait a bit tho for it, but it's worth it.

    I don't mind waiting for customized freshly made yummy Thai food!
    Actually they made the Pad Thai after I ordered, too.
    I could hear the lady cooking the wok from the kitchen.
    Too bad we're a bit far from this place now.
