" I thought Sala Thai would be a nice spot for lunch, but I was let down. My spring rolls were cold and soggy, and the dipping sauce tasted off. It felt like they were rushed when they had to prepare my food for takeout. However, the missteps happen, I hope they can sort out these issues. Watching how they handle situations will determine if I give them another chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" Sala Thai has become a favorite of mine! The drunken noodles are to die for! I love that they offer a range of gluten-free and vegetarian options as well, which is perfect for my dietary needs. Each time I've visited, the staff has been friendly and helpful. The overall vibe of the place is inviting, though it can get busy during weekend evenings. I highly recommend it to anyone in search of genuine Thai flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! This is the perfect place for Thai food enthusiasts. The decorations in the restaurant create a cozy vibe, and the menu offers a wide variety of authentic dishes. I specifically enjoyed the basil fried rice, it was spicy and satisfying. Additionally, the prices are quite reasonable! I’ll be returning soon for another delightful meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm really split on Sala Thai. The first time was great—delicious pad Thai and good service. But my next visit was a huge letdown with cold food and slow service. I want to love this place because it has potential, but consistency is key. I'll give it one more try to see if they can impress me like the first time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I brought my family to Sala Thai for a birthday dinner last week, and it did not disappoint! The service staff greeted us with smiles and took great care of us, making sure we had everything we needed. The food was delicious, especially the curry dishes—perfectly spiced! Everyone left satisfied and full. I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm really disappointed with my last visit to Sala Thai. I expected more from a place that gets a lot of buzz. The red curry I ordered seemed watered down and lacked the authentic kick that I crave. It’s a shame because I remember my earlier visits being enjoyable. On top of that, we had to wait a long time to get our server's attention for refills. I might give it another shot but I’m not sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" I appreciate the effort that Sala Thai puts into creating a welcoming atmosphere. They have a diverse menu that covers a lot of Thai classics, but some dishes could use a little more authenticity in flavor. The staff was friendly enough, helping us with our selection, but we waited quite a while for our food. I'll be back for another shot to revisit. " (*Curated Review*)
