I've been to Salad King at least a handful of times before over a handful of years too. It was alright and economical the first time or two... Then after trying a few more items, I didn't find it special or anything at all. It's like Thai Express but in a fast casual setting. If you want authentic Thai, for sure go to Pai. Pai's been my fave since the first time I've been. If I wanted Thai food that's there I'd go.
Anyways for convenience sake and because one of the friends I'm meeting up with actually likes the place, I ended up at Salad King... This time I wanted some noodle dish and ordered the khao soi just to see how it is.... For $8.75+tax, you'd be very full from it. But I rather pay 5 bucks more and go to Pai....... The friend that likes Salad King says she only ever gets the Sea Queen (fried squid with rice) or the Pad Thai... So ya, if you ever have to eat here, maybe those are the best bets...
