Salad King is like a better, bigger and more authentic version of Thai express. Fast food style with servers, longer menu and less personal space. The food here is good and affordable, convenient location too, but nothing stand out. It is great that they offer decent choices for vegetarians and have spicy level to choose from. However I noticed that their cooking are quite inconsistent.
This place is always busy during lunch/dinner hour. Most of the time you would have to share table and sit between other customers. Not sure if they do reservation, but if I am reserving a table might as well go to PAI or other restaurant.
One thing I have to point out is the chili count(spicy level). There's a few times my friend and I ordered food with 3 chili, but mine turned out very mild(1chili?) and his tasted like 6-8 chili. That happened a few times already. Get your things together salad King, there's this chili count for a reason!
Their golden tofu is what I usually order, very well made. The pad Thai is also decent.
I had the evil jungle prince here once before, expecting mostly eggplants in it since that's impression the description gave. The dish came with lots of onions, lots of green peppers, a couple of other vegetables and a few tiny pieces of eggplant(evil indeed), tasted watered down too. Yup, pretty disappointed. That takes half a star away since you took my eggplants.
I would recommend salad King for a quick tasty meal, but if you want gourmet Thai food this is not the right place.
