Diner Review №1

Place itself is pretty nice with lots of space and windows to let some sun in. Food was absolutely phenomenal!

Diner Review №2

NEVER has enough seasoning or sauce. Serving sizes are a bit small for the price. Doesn’t compare to Thong Phoon Thai, 7 minutes away, which is full of much more flavor and more filling. For that, I’ll pay a little extra. I won’t be back to Sala Thai.

Diner Review №3

The food here never disappoints, the employees treat you so friendly and the prices are fair regardless of the time you dine at. Please give them a try! They're absolutely worth it.

Diner Review №4

Orange chicken is to DIE FOR!!! Better than any other orange chicken I’ve had.

Diner Review №7

Sala Thai provided a delightful dining experience. Ate there with my father-in-law, and we both enjoyed the flavorful Thai cuisine. The ambiance was pleasant, service was excellent, and the dishes were well-prepared. A great choice for those who appreciate authentic Thai flavors.

Diner Review №8

Awesome food, quick service, reasonable prices have been pushing Sala Thai to the top of our list lately! Family owned and operated is a huge plus too!

Decent hometown Thai food. I just wish they would put basil in the summer rolls.

Diner Review №18

Food is great, pad Thai and curry potstickers are my favorite! Only knocked a star because it’s pricey.

Diner Review №19

Sala Thai is fantastic. They are fast, polite, and reasonably priced. The food is healthy, tasty, and as spicy as you want (they have a scale you can choose your spice level). I had the country fried general tso chicken and it was incredible.

Great food, service

Diner Review №23

Sala Thai is a wonderful family-owned Thai restaurant in a part of town that doesn't serve food. I believe their sister business is Aroy Thai in O'Fallon. I only ever order the chicken pad thai and my husband always wishes he had when he orders something else (because the pad thai is the best thing on the menu).

The food is always perfectly prepared. They offer to add spice up to five levels based on preference. My only critique is that I wish there was more meat in the dish. I order the chicken pad thai and my husband the pork pad thai and an appetizer of fried spring rolls.

Sala Thai is the first Thai restaurant I'd ever been to and what a wonderful introduction to the style of food that it was.

Found a roach in the chicken fried rice. Disgusting. Was always a regular here until this happened now I’ll never get food from here again.

My family and I have eaten here since I was little. The owner asks if we want to order the same thing as last time 😂

I have many good memories of this place and love their food!

Diner Review №33

Diner Review №34

At first I thought they permanently closed! Their sign is gone, but the food is still good and they're still open. Lunched with my kiddos and we enjoyed it. A little ticked off that there's no notification of a service charge for using a card (of any type, debit or credit.) Please add a drunken noodles lunch special!

Diner Review №35

amazing food & service. the crab rangoon & pad thai were amazing

Diner Review №36

The Orange Chicken and Crab Rangoons were delicious!

Diner Review №37

Best Thai food in this area. I wish they delivered to my location. I usually order the cashew chicken on a 3. They have good egg rolls and I think crab rangoons too.

Diner Review №38

Love this Thai restaurant. We order from here every Friday! The food is delicious!

Diner Review №39

Great food, good service. Dine in only for lunch. Evening meals are drive thru at this time.

Diner Review №40

Noodles lacked flavor. Crab ragoon & spring rolls were delicious.

Diner Review №41

If this was about the taste of the food it would be 5 stars. However, as much as I love the food this is getting ridiculous with the pricing. I had an order of chicken lo-mein an order of veggie fried rice and 1 order of crab rangoon and with penalty of using debit card I paid and extra 2 bucks and I chose to tip my order was 45$ freaking ridiculous. Also why are tips solicited in a drive up/carry out? Can I get a tip for breathing or just doing my job? What is going on with everyone thinking they deserve a tip in a drive through?! Out of control. Of course I didn't have to tip but if you prepay and have to tip before you get your food then the employee is alone with your food if you dont. So yeah... sticker shock 2 meals and a (1) crab rangoon 45 bucka. No thanks. :( what a shame because I do love the food.

Good little Thai restaurant. Food was a little most expensive than average, but they served a good quantity and it tasted great.

Diner Review №51

The food has been so inconsistent recently.
I used to come here all the time, and I usually get the Pad Thai with number 3 or 4 spice level.
The past 3x I've been I have ordered the same meal and my noodles come plain white! No flavor or spice 🥲 I'm so disappointed, this was my favorite go to place!

Diner Review №52

10/10 would recommend Sala Thai to anyone that would listen. Great service, delicious food. It was my first time and I was treated as if I was a regular. I'll be a regular now. I could tell that Sala Thai was consistent as there were many people coming in for large group dinners as well as people who mentioned they were excited to be dining there again.

Cozy, no frills vibe. Recommend the beef pad thai and pad kee mao.

Diner Review №151

Fantastic quality and tasty food! Lots of veggies for those who like vegetables, or you can go for noodles and a variety of meat (or Tofu). Extremely clean, well designed and efficient facility. The staff know the menu extremely well and can suggest the perfect meal for individual tastes. What is helpful is being able to select a "spicy level" and each dish comes out custom cooked for each customer. A great venue for two people or a large group. 5 Stars to a hidden Jewel of a restaurant! 🤗

Diner Review №164

Went on a Friday night and the place was actually quite empty. I'm not sure I understand what that is maybe it's because they don't serve alcohol there. Another pair of diners did finally come after we had been there for a little bit. Our food was very good and I can see that they do have quite a bit of takeout business. Perhaps that's that's the way to enjoy this place with a nice beer at your house just do take out.

Diner Review №165

I've driven by this place 1000 times, & never even considered going in. Man I wish I had years ago!!! The food, service, & price were all 100% terrific! This will definitely be on my list of frequent stops.

Diner Review №167

Sala Thai is a favorite of ours. The food is always delicious and attractively presented. Atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. Rest rooms are clean.

Diner Review №168

We found Sala Thai on Google search and are thankful we did! Our party of 6 entered a very clean establishment, were very quickly served fantastic food by a wonderful waitress. The portions were enough for take home and tasted great at home. Our only regret is that we live over 2 1/2 hours away and aren't able to enjoy this establishment more often! We will definitely be back when in the area.

Diner Review №169

My favorite place for Thai food in the metro east. Always consistently good. Love the summer rolls and peanut sauce! Fabulous pad Thai. Great soup not salty or taste like out of a can. My favorite dish is the red curry.

Diner Review №170

I love this place!! The people are super nice and the food is excellent!

Diner Review №171

First of all the young lady who works the register was fantastic . Now down to business the crab rangoon had no flavor the general's chicken did not taste anything like general's chicken the egg rolls we're bland and boring the best item was the rice and there was nothing special about it either

Food was fine. However when ordering the spiciest option, there was not any heat detected.

Diner Review №178

I asked for extra spicy and couldn't even taste the spice. Food was okay, but not worth the price.

Uncooked potatoes over cooked rice worst Thai food in America

Diner Review №182

Great food and the prices are reasonably and you get plsnty to eat. If something is wrong ask for Suchera and she will make it right also all the employees are really friendly.

Diner Review №183

Very good! I enjoy the Pad Thai and their egg rolls are delicious. Great for lunch!

Diner Review №184

The people are so nice here, they're very patient of you aren't sure what you want. I love getting peanut sauce on everything and Sala Thai is always happy to indulge me on that level. They're willing to go above the spicy level 4 if you are worried your food won't be spicy enough which was initially a concern for me but the staff is always willing to make your experience better where they can.

Diner Review №185

Food is great, especially the lunch specials!

Diner Review №186

Not as good as it once was. Thai is my favorite and I regularly dine in and take out from Sala Thai 2 or 3 times a month. When it's good (more likely to be better at lunch than dinner) it is really good. 10 years ago (around 2008) there was no better Thai restaurant in the area. Since then it has been consistently inconsistent both in flavor and spiciness. I typically order dishes with 3 stars of spiciness at most Thai restaurants, I order 2 stars hot from Sala Thai. Their interpretation of spiciness is bizarre. On more than one occasion I have ordered multiple 3 star dishes at the same time for my large family that ranged in spiciness from not noticeable to somewhere between molten lava and the surface of the sun. Many of my friends and colleagues stopped visiting Sala, but I keep going back because as I said, when it's good, it's really good. I personally do not mind the dated decor or soft drinks being served from 2 liter bottles, but some might. There are better Thai restaurants around, but do recommend you give it a try for lunch.

Really liked this place. Friendly, knowledgeable and professional staff. Food quality was excellent. I would have liked bigger portion sizes but size was adequate for the price.

Diner Review №195

4.5 stars
Clean bathrooms, great Pad Thai, and nice staff. I wish they had a kids menu since portions are too big for a child. The level of heat was 1-5 per the waitress so I chose a 2 since Thai hot is hard core. I was dissapointed in the 2 it was more like 0. I do plan to return.
