| - I come to Salad King once in a blue moon because I know the food isn't especially healthy, but I am always very happy with what I order and the service that comes with it.
I went in yesterday for vegetarian pad thai (which they list as phud thai; potato, potahto) with extra tofu ($1.50 extra but worth it), and received it in under 5 minutes. The spice level perfectly matched my 1 chili order. It was steaming hot and delicious, and served with a lime, fresh cilantro, chopped peanuts, and enough noodles to serve one and a half of me.
My server was fantastic, and I've actually never had bad service here. He stopped a couple of times to make sure I had everything I needed.
I really like the atmosphere but it is definitely not suited for reading alone. It is very loud during the lunch rush because it's so popular. Even so, I have never had to wait longer than 5 minutes for a spot to sit. Be prepared to potentially get friendly with strangers, as the long tables mean that you could be seated next to someone you don't know. This, along with the colourful decor, is all part of the experience.
A couple of tips: If you use the basket under your seat, don't forget what you put in there when you leave! And of course, check out the washrooms. They're pretty great.
