" I visited this restaurant last week and I was really impressed! The variety of vegetarian options is commendable, and I particularly enjoyed the drunken noodles. The atmosphere is cozy with a nice touch of Thai décor. The only hiccup was the time it took to get seated during peak hours. All in all, it's a great spot to indulge in authentic Thai cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" I really liked Sala Thai! The food was excellent and felt very authentic. The service staff were attentive and friendly, creating a nice atmosphere for us. One negative point would be the limited parking, but I think it’s worth it for a taste of their authentic Thai cuisine. I’ll return the next time I’m craving some good Thai! " (*Curated Review*)

" An amazing Thai restaurant that ticks all the boxes! The curries and stir-fried dishes are flavorful and authentic. The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is relaxing. I found the portion sizes average, but the quality and taste more than made up for that. Can’t recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful gem! I came here based on recommendations and was impressed by the authenticity of the dishes. The pad thai was the best I’ve tasted, and the service was truly exemplary. The only downside was the smaller portion sizes, but the quality of food made up for it without a doubt. Highly recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered food here a couple of weeks ago, and while the flavors were good, I felt the cooking was inconsistent. The curry was perfect one night and off the next. The portion sizes seemed small as well. The service was friendly, but I felt that they could streamline things a bit during busy hours. Overall, worth a try, but I would suggest going during off-peak times. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first Thai food experience, and it was decent but not what I had hoped for. The flavors were a bit muted and didn’t seem authentic. I was also a little put off by the cleanliness of the utensils and the table. The service was friendly, though, which is a plus. Might try again but would look for other options first. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was quite pleasant at Sala Thai! The food was vibrant and packed with flavor. I enjoyed the tom yum soup and the eggplant curry; both were amazing! I did notice that the staff might need more training on menu items as they seemed slightly confused at times but overall, my dining experience left me happy. " (*Curated Review*)
