| - I have been to Thailand and eaten at many Thai restaurants across the US. This Thai restaurant had the BEST peanut sauce I have ever tasted. It was served with a salad that I got there. Which the salad had the most items on it, that I have ever received on a salad from a Thai restaurant: cucumber, carrot, iceberg lettuce, and bell pepper.
I also ordered to go, their Drunken Noodle (Pad Kee Mow) as a vegetarian dish with no tofu. I asked for broccoli and vegetables only. They gave me what I asked for. This was just OK. It had no flavorful sauce dripping from it and it was basically just flavored noodles, that were still almost the same color they are, before you make the dish. I usually have them served a brown color at other Thai restaurants. I asked for a medium spice, and it was medium spicy.
I went to this place because we were driving out of town toward California and I needed a place that was close to interstate 10 freeway, leaving phoenix. So, if I was leaving town again, I would make the effort to eat downtown at a Thai restaurant there, Thai Basil or My Mom's Thai, instead of this. But, I am sure at the Sala Thai, something dipped in that peanut sauce would be good. Also, I would have to try more to see if all the other dishes, so that is why I gave them a 3 star. I can not fairly judge unless I have had at least 3 separate dishes.
I took a picture so you could see the Pad Kee Mow and the color of the noodles. I did not finish the dish. I left what you see in the picture.
My advice to the restaurant, is to go to Thailand and get some recipe dishes and bring them back. I think your current Pad Kee Mow (Drunken Noodle) is watered down. Most authentic thai places in the US, have deep, thick tastes in their food. The more watered down they are, the less likely they are authentic or good. Your service was good for to-go and you have GREAT peanut sauce.
