Modern Thai chain restaurant at Raffles City, established in Singapore since 2002
Thai Express at Raffles City Shopping Centre is part of a modern Thai restaurant chain that has been operating in Singapore since 2002. It was one of the first casual Thai dining brands to gain widespread popularity in the city-state, helping to mainstream Thai cuisine beyond the hawker centre. The menu features a comprehensive selection of Thai classics, from tom yum goong and green curry to pad thai and som tam, all prepared with an emphasis on balance and authenticity. The Raffles City outlet occupies a basement-level space, convenient for shoppers and office workers in the City Hall area. With its approachable pricing and efficient service, Thai Express caters to both quick lunches and relaxed dinners. The chain has undergone various evolutions since its founding, refining its menu and service model to keep pace with Singapore's competitive dining scene. Thai Express differentiates itself from smaller Thai eateries through its consistent standards across outlets, comfortable dining environment, and broad menu that accommodates both adventurous and conservative palates. Spice levels are clearly indicated on the menu, and dishes can be adjusted upon request. The restaurant also offers set meals and promotional combos that provide good value, particularly during weekday lunch hours. Beverage options include Thai iced tea and other regional drinks that complement the food. While newer Thai establishments have entered the market, Thai Express retains a loyal following built on familiarity and convenience. The Raffles City location, with its direct MRT access and proximity to major attractions such as the National Gallery and the Marina Bay district, ensures a steady flow of diners. For visitors seeking a reliable Thai meal in a comfortable, air-conditioned setting near some of Singapore's most visited landmarks, Thai Express remains a sensible and satisfying option.Based on 1751 Google reviews

We used to frequently order delivery from Thai Express' (TE) take-out only store at Rivervale Mall. Sadly the store closed last year leaving my partner craving for their clear Tom Yum soup with no solution. Well there is one way, TE still …
