  Both aren't restaurants right? Try Lemon Grass Thai Restaurant.

  Which outlet did you go to that was terrible? I was at Thai Express at Junction 8 yesterday (public holiday), during non-peak time, and it was not bad for a mid-price range outlet - the seafood was fresh. Think they toned down the chilli padi a lot to suit local taste.

  j8 & citylink are the most horrible tt i been to.
  
  soggy soft shell crab and calamari
  (i oni eat these 2 at thai express, plus the tomyan talay)
  
  the only outlet tt still "can make it" is assplanade

  Heng! I didn't order these 2 items. Tomyam talay was good. Also had the crispy crust fried toufu topped with sweet sauce and peanut, Phad Thai and green chicken curry...all quite tasty...maybe it was off-peak time.

  As in like the MAC/BK/KFC fast food? ....don't think so...it's a dine-in take-your-order place

  Never been to a single one, from first impression, both look equally cheesy. My feel.

  The Holland V & Paragon outlets are ok. Frequent these 2 only. Think that the food is not bad but not fantastic.

  Certainly not value for money. With a 10% svc charge that is hardly justified for.
