New Thai restaurant opens across from WSU
A new Thai restaurant, Tik’s Thai Express, has opened at 2808 Col. Glenn Highway in Fairborn, across from Wright State University.
The restaurant is owned by Siriya “Tik” Sripol, who helped introduce Thai cuisine to the Yummy Burger, a downtown Dayton diner, in 2004, then became co-owner of Ban Thai restaurant in the Beaver Valley Shopping Center in Beavercreek in 2005. Her business partner in both of those ventures, Pakawan “Fon” Christman, opened her own Thai restaurant last month in Kettering. (And click here to read a review of that new Kettering restaurant. We’ll likely review the new Fairborn Thai restaurant in a few weeks.)
Sripol said she was looking for a location near WSU and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base to open a restaurant when the spot that formerly housed a Roly Poly sandwich shop became available.
Tik’s Thai Express offers weekday lunch specials for $5.50 and a menu that includes four curry dishes, Pad Thai noodles, and house specialties such as Thai Bourbon Chicken and Chicken Basil. It also offers a Tik’s Yummy Burger.
The restaurant is open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Sunday. For more information, call (937) 912-5984.

Ordered carryout and they gave me the wrong order. I called and they said they would bring me a replacement. Then got a call 30 mins later saying they couldn’t bring it and I’d have to come up there to get a replacement. The young guy on the phone was rude and said “it’s only a dollar difference so it’s not a big deal anyway”. I then spoke to the lady owner and she was more rude that the first person! Said she didn’t believe I got the wrong order and I wasn’t telling the truth. Keep in mind my order only cost $16…who wastes their time on $16?!?! Wish I would have read the prior reviews b/c it looks as though their service is bad….the food (tom kha soup and green curry) was NOT good at all. We have MUCH better quality and taste even in Alaska… Will never patronize this horrid place again. The positive reviews look as though they had friends write them to balance out the negative ones

It’s where Roly Poly was, across from Wright State. Next to The College Store.

We sampled some of her Thai food last night and it was very good and reasonably priced. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys Thai cuisine!

So is this located in the University Shops with Jeet and Timmy’s Wok? That’s a good variety of Asian selections to bewilder the Bob Evans lot.

Yum! I love Thai food. It is a shame that I graduated from WSU in November and won’t be out that way as often as I used to!!!
