| - I have frequented Salad King for many years and I have to say that since moving to the new location on Yonge Street, above Foot Locker, I've been really disappointed with the food.
The interior is really cool and there is great ambiance with their cafeteria-like long table seating. The decor is funky and they have cool little quotes on the way to the bathrooms, but the food really leaves nothing but disappointment since moving to the new locale.
The portions for one have gotten smaller. The have also changed their chilis/flames - I used to get a 7 or a 10 flame (I like my food spicy!) but am now doing a 5-flame, which really has a different flavour than before - it's more "hot" than flavourful. The pad thai has really become awful - I've had it on my last 2 visits (the second time around, I'd forgotten that I'd ordered it the last time and didn't enjoy it - it's such a staple, you would expect it to be good in a Thai restaurant). It was very, very dry, mostly just noodle, with very little chicken and veg. It wasn't very flavourful, just mostly hot. It's definitely not a dish that I would order again - I have had much better Pad/Phud Thai at other restaurants and I'm sad to see that it's gone this way...
The Golden Curry is another staple we always order, and it's still decent, although again, much smaller of a portion, and somehow less flavourful from before. Bangkok Stirfry is the same deal. I'd have to say I'm not as keen on going back as I used to be, which says a lot about someone who was completely addicted to this place in the past. Disappointed, to say the least... seems like more expensive rent and reno's have really put a damper on things..
