" My experience at Sala Thai was just average. The food was okay; I had the Red Curry which was good, but not memorable. The seating was a bit cramped, and the noise level made it hard to have a conversation. Service was friendly enough, but it lacks that extra attentive touch one might expect at a Thai bistro. I would recommend it for a casual meal, but it probably won't become my go-to spot for Thai food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was quite disappointed with my meal here last night. I ordered the Pad See Ew, and while it looked appetizing, the flavor was lacking. There were a few pieces of meat and the vegetables seemed overcooked. The service was decent, but I expected a lot more based on previous reviews. Perhaps it was just an off day, but I left feeling unsatisfied and wouldn't rush back anytime soon. I might give it another shot in the future if I hear more good things. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've always found it challenging to find great Thai food until I discovered Sala Thai. I went with a group and ordered a variety of dishes—from the creamy Green Curry to the crispy Chicken Satay, everything was delightful! The flavors genuinely transported me back to Thailand. I especially loved the Mango Sticky Rice for dessert—what a treat! The restaurant is small but has such a welcoming atmosphere. I will definitely be returning as I want to try everything on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" For anyone craving a cozy meal, Sala Thai fits the bill! The ambience is perfect for a quiet dinner. The Red Curry was just the right level of spicy, bursting with flavor. The staff checked up on me regularly, making sure I was satisfied. I’ll certainly be back to try their other offerings! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't recommend Sala Thai enough! The food is absolutely delightful—the spices used in their dishes are true to traditional Thai cooking. I had the Panang Curry and it was incredibly creamy with just the right kick to it. The setting is intimate, and it’s the perfect place for a date night. Can't wait to return to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't believe I've been missing out on this gem for so long! The moment I stepped into Sala Thai, I was greeted with warm smiles from the staff. I ordered the Pad Thai, and I have to say, it was one of the best I've ever had. The balance of flavors was spot on, and the portion size was generous. I also tried the Thai iced tea, which was refreshing. The atmosphere is cozy, making it a perfect spot for dinner with friends or family. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" sala Thai is a delightful experience. The flavors are authentic and the dishes are beautifully prepared. I tried the Drunken Noodles with shrimp, and the dish was bursting with vibrant vegetables and bold flavors. The owner personally came over to chat with us, which made us feel very welcome. The only downside was that it got a bit crowded, but the energy in the restaurant was lovely. Definitely coming back for more and recommending to friends! " (*Curated Review*)
