About Thai Express Kitchen Edinburgh
Tucked into St James Quarter, this is the sort of Thai place where the smell of lemongrass hits you before you've sat down, and the casual buzz means nobody notices a chatty toddler. Buggy access and high chairs are sorted, there's a kids' menu, and outdoor seating for when you need air. Food lands in about ten to fifteen minutes, which matters when someone's melting down. The pad thai gets the loudest praise — prawn version especially — along with the mango salad and the Chilli Chilli Bangkok with tender beef. Portions are generous enough that families leave properly full. Allergies and intolerances are taken seriously, and it's halal, with vegan choices too. Upstairs tables are quieter and quaint. Worth knowing: there's a service charge on top, and it can be very quiet at off-peak times.
