We went to the Salad King Restaurant for dinner. I been to the Salad Kind years ago at their old location but not at their new location. My co-workers love coming here and I heard rave reviews.
We went upstairs to a high school cafeteria room with communal tables where you have to sit next to people. The annoyed hostess told us to sit next two other people even though there were empty tables available. We eventually got a empty table. But we were told we will have to share our table with other people.
We ordered the mango salad and spring rolls. I order the chicken pad thai while my friend ordered shrimp pad thai. The mango salad quickly arrived with three minutes. Our pad thai arrived before we finished our appetizers. Other people came and I stuffed my coat underneath my chair. The restaurant is very noisy and difficult to carry on a conversation. I guess most of the other diners were students from Ryerson University so they were used to the environment.
The food was okay. I have better pad thai at other restaurants. The spring rolls were good while the mango salad was just shred mango.
Would we go back? Never. The assembly line dining experience was terrible. Everything was designed to maximum profit.
