| - I'm traveling cross-country with my parents from NYC and we were all really craving some yummy, authentic Thai food (Pam's Kitchen + Pongsri in NYC are both amazing and right up our alley). Ended up going to Sala because of all the reviews. Have to say - we all loved it! We got their basil fried rice based on the reviews - and it was awesome. We also ordered the drunken noodles, the spicy basil leaves with soft tofu and another with chicken (minced). Everything was delicious! In fact, between the 3 of us, we finished almost everything. Kind of ridiculous. Also, 4 out of 5 (spicy level) was perfect. We love spicy food and it was the perfect amount of heat. I would equate it to medium spicy in NYC Thai restaurants, which is really quite spicy but perfect if you can handle heat. Oh, and not sure about peoples' tastes but we don't love sugar in our Thai food - so if you're the same, be sure to let them know not to add extra sugar. We forgot to do that and although some dishes were a tad sweet(er), we didn't particularly mind because of the heat. Still, next time, I would say no sugar.
Also, we ordered the coconut ice cream for dessert and it was great. Subtle coconut flavor (not too essence-y) topped with toasted coconut. Alsooo, the servers were really nice. We arrived at like 8:45pm and despite closing at 9pm (kitchen closes), our server was super sweet. Would definitely go back to Sala Thai if we're ever in the area again!!!!
