Thai Express is one of my favourite cheap 'n cheerfuls and after finishing a job in the west island I spotted one as I was heading down St-Jean Boulevard. Upon entering its a really nice looking place, lots of seating, yet for a lunch time it appeared to be rather sparsely populated. I am quite use to Thai Express' level of service, which is \"express\" level, at most locations you're chowing down before McDonalds has even finished microwaving your burger.\n\nI am also use to the Caribbean temporal anomaly called \"Island Time\" where everything happens in slow motion due to the lack of motivation of the island's inhabitants. Little did I know that Island time also referred to the West Island of Montreal, but it appears to have found its home in this particular stretch of DDO.\n\nThe first bad omen -- no one is working at the cash. I stood there a good 3 minutes before someone finally meandered over, after placing my order I stood and waited, there was no one cooking anything, and now a few others placed orders after me, still no one manning the wok.\n\nFinally after about 10 minutes and being quite hungry and frustrated I asked why there was no one cooking and swear to God, this is what I was told. \"The cooks are off having lunch\" to which I replied \"That's ironic, I'm here for the same reason!\"\n\nIt took me another 5 minutes to get my money back as no one knew how to use the cash register, I then went somewhere else.\n\nFunnily enough when I told this to a friend he told me this place is known as a disorganized disaster, and the google review of it pointed out the same.
