" I visited Sala Thai while on a business trip and was taken by how friendly and accommodating the staff were. I ordered a combination platter, which was satisfying but overly salty for my taste. The restaurant is located in a vibrant area with a lot to offer nearby, making it a great place to unwind after a long day. I might try it again if I find myself back in town. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for this restaurant given its solid reputation, but my last visit left me underwhelmed. The pad see ew I ordered was overly sweet and not very appetizing. Service was slow initially, but the staff did apologize once they realized I was waiting. I was hoping for more, but it fell short of my expectations this time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I always have a wonderful time at Sala Thai! The staff is always polite and willing to accommodate any requests. I appreciate their attention to detail, especially with my dietary restrictions. The food is consistently good; however, I do wish that their cocktails could be a little stronger. The ambiance is casual and great for unwinding after a long day. A solid 4 stars! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, absolutely blown away by the flavors of the green curry! It was spicy and fragrant, just the way I like it. The service staff were attentive, and my drinks arrived promptly. The atmosphere of Sala Thai is both lively and comfortable—a perfect blend for dining alone or with friends. I will certainly return to try more of their delightful dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed again! I ordered the pad see ew and it was overly greasy. I could barely distinguish the flavors, and there were shrimp tails in my dish when I specifically ordered without them. The service was slow and a bit dismissive when I raised this issue with the server. I love Thai cuisine, but this experience makes me hesitant to return. Tread carefully if you decide to visit! " (*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*)
