| - I first came here thinking that this restaurant were known for their salads, hence the name Salad King. I was so wrong.. It's Thai Food! Once you go in and go up the flight of stairs, you walk in and this place is usually extremely busy. There is usually a line up to be seated and they have benches where you sit with randoms, which I feel is too close for comfort sometimes. But on the other side, if you are lucky, you get the booth seats. I find it's quite loud and the customer service could be a bit better, but like I always say the ambience and the customer service is always an added bonus. I've been here a hand full of times, I've tried their Crispy Spring Rolls, Golden Curry with Rice, Hot and Sour Shrimp (Tom Yum Goon) soup, Hot and Soup Mushroom (Tom Yum) soup, and Phud Thai. The presentation of their food is nice and the taste is delicious from what I've tried. The price point is affordable and the portion sizes are decent for what you pay for. I have yet to try their Mango Sticky Rice! Maybe next time I visit I will save some room for dessert. I'll try it eventually. It's a nice restaurant to go to if you like spice in your food, as you can have as many as 1 to 20 chilis. I've only had 1-2 chilis, I don't dare to try any hotter, as my tolerance for spicy foods are not the highest. Anytime you're have cravings for Thai food and I'm in the downtown area, I'd recommend checking out Salad King.. It's in the heart of downtown Toronto, what more is there to ask.
