I have been to Sala Thai many many times. They have always provided wonderful service with exceptional food. Keep in mind, this restaurant is a family owned business; therefore, it has the charm and friendliness of that familial feel. I love the personalities of the staff and the décor of this restaurant. The staff here are very considerate and pays close attention to your needs as a customer.
Remember they know how Thai food is done. This isn't some corporate chain business or formulated menu that they factory out; the food here tastes AUTHENTIC. Each dish is uniquely created with the appropriate flair of the Thai culture.
I have never had issues communicating or expressing what I want or would like with the staff.
I ordered the tom yum, green curry, fried catfish, phad thai, drunken noodles and even a few of their desserts before. These dishes are all magical. The tom yum was just the right sour flavor and the herbs really bring out the aroma of this dish. I highly suggest starting off with this savory soup.
Drunken noodles has to be one of my favorites at this restaurant. You can never go wrong with this choice as it brings a variant burst of aromatic flavors. If I order really high level spicy food, I always order a thai tea to go with it. Fun Fact: The milky flavors of this sweet and refreshing beverage actually conteracts the spice flavors. Another great way to enjoy this cuisine; why not blend the flavors?
I can honestly say I will continue to come back again and again; I will even bring friends as I have in the past. Sala Thai has won me over with their delicious authentic dishes, friendly staff and charming atmosphere.
OH and they do take out too!
