You wouldn't expect one of the best Thai restaurants in Phoenix to be located in a non-descript NoPho strip mall but it does. Sala Thai not only serves up quick, fresh, dependable and competitively priced Thai meals (which come out with a spice rating of 1 to 5 based on your heat tolerance ... 4 is plenty hot), but the servings are such that I always have enough leftovers to bring to work for lunch the next day. Great value. And I put a premium on value. One of the intangible qualities of Sala is that it's become somewhat of a community driver, a third space where you're as likely to run into a neighbor as you are to leave with a full and satisfied stomach.
