| - 10 years ago, when I went to Ryerson, I used to eat at Salad King at least once a week. It was truly an addiction at one point, testing out the 10, 15, and 20 chilly dishes. You actually feel drunk when eating that many chillies! Salad King at one point could do no wrong. The lime leaf chicken was my go-to dish. The green vegetable curry was tops in the city. The cashew nut chicken left me always wanting more. The price was excellent and the place always jam packed.
Then the fire happened, they switched to the new, bigger location, and quality went down. I think the ingredients they use are cheaper and way they operate, it's meant to get you in and out as fast as possible. The service is really quick, but you always get the sense that they are rushing you so that the next group of customers can come in and give them their money.
Salad King got it's reputation as the best thai food in the city back in the day for a reason. But it's a shell of its former self. I rarely return here anymore, as it's got the fast food feel and the food just isn't the same, but will always have great memories of the university days, where Ryerson students were lucky to have such a gem on campus.
