Unpretentious eatery offering traditional Thai cooking in a no-frills atmosphere.
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.
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.
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!
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.
Place itself is pretty nice with lots of space and windows to let some sun in. Food was absolutely phenomenal!
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.

Orange chicken is to DIE FOR!!! Better than any other orange chicken I’ve had.
Great customer services and fast here. I would recommend.

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!
This place never disappoints. Chicken rice soup to die for
A regular on our lunch rotation. Great food, great price, friendly service.
Fantastic hidden gem of a restaurant
Decent hometown Thai food. I just wish they would put basil in the summer rolls.
Food is great, pad Thai and curry potstickers are my favorite! Only knocked a star because it’s pricey.
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.

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.
We enjoyed the yellow curry and pot stickers very much!
The food was really amazing and the cozy atmosphere was really nice! We’ll definitely be back for more!
If you're in Belleville, this is where you need to go! It is ALL great tasting and it's a local, small business.
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!

amazing food & service. the crab rangoon & pad thai were amazing
The Orange Chicken and Crab Rangoons were delicious!
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.
Love this Thai restaurant. We order from here every Friday! The food is delicious!
Great food, good service. Dine in only for lunch. Evening meals are drive thru at this time.
Noodles lacked flavor. Crab ragoon & spring rolls were delicious.
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.
Food was good and came pretty quickly. Great fresh tai food
Great food quiet place
Great Thai cuisine! The basil fried rice w/shrimp or w/chicken is delicious!
Very rude and unprofessional! Food was way below excitable. I would of had a better meal at McDonald's! I will never again eat here!! Don't waste your time coming here !
Pad thai from paradise
A gem in Belleville!!
Good little Thai restaurant. Food was a little most expensive than average, but they served a good quantity and it tasted great.
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!
Great food at good prices.
If you like thai food, come here
Great food and service
Did drive-thru pick-up because of Covid-19. Food was very good and hot. Will order from them again.
The food was good, but way too spicy for my tastes
Wonderful Thai! I'm thoroughly addicted.
Wonderful place, truly one of the best Thai restaurants I've ever been to. The wonton soup is my favorite...
The food is amazing
12/10 best Thai food I’ve ever had
Great food. Sometimes table service is slow but the food is worth it.
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.
Good food good prices
The food was exellent and the service was exceptional!
Delicious! Reasonable prices too! I have never been disappointed!
Great food and friendly staff. Went in for lunch and was not disappointed. My favorite Thai place I’ve eaten so far in the area.
Love the food
Great food and friendly service.
Pad broccoli with chicken is my favorite and the summer rolls are delicious.
Great food! Great service too.
Love this place...Great food!
Apple has the best Thai around
Always great service and great food. Highly recommend
Great food.
Good food! Friendly staff!
Delicious food & great service! 1st time there.
Excellent food and lovely service. :D
Good food. Friendly staff.
I've been going here since the beginning and they have been great since the start. The food, prices and service are great. Try them and you'll love them too.
This is a really nice Thai restaurant. Large variety on the menu. Reasonably priced and reasonable wait time for food. No music is why only 4 stars.
I ordered the Angel which was supposed to be beef, broccoli and gravy over rice noodles. Got the dish, NO GRAVY! Dry, dry...
Superior thai cuisine at the right price. The staff is very attentive; and the cook(s) pays attention to detailed requests!
The menu covers every corner you can think of!
Absolutely love! 💓💓
Well I'm not into thai food but my brother likes it and it's to spicy for me, and the food was served so hot, nice dining/service
Is a great place to eat, and they are professionals and prices, are not high
And food is made on time. Il always recommended anyone to eat at this place.
Great customer service great food and and great everything.

Best Thai food in St. Louis.
Y'all. Its gud.
Good food, and nice people. Process are nice also.
Love this place!
Great food. Wish they still had beer though
Great place, food and service.
Had a great pad Thai here. Quick and excellent service.
amazing every time. get the Thai Tea
Middle of the road tai, not bad. Prices are low for the amount of food you receive.
Pretty darn good everytime. Spicing system unpredictable...thats why 4 not 5.
BEST PAD THAI AND EGGROLLS. Also they're really quick!!!
Great tai iced tea and great food :)
Cozy, no frills vibe. Recommend the beef pad thai and pad kee mao.
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! 🤗
Great place dollar for dollar
I really enjoyed the flavoring of their dishes. I'll be back.
Good curry chicken w fried rice, the daily special. Has alternative Chinese menu, in addition to Thai.
Our food came out fast, hot and delicious! We'll be back again soon!
Delicious
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.
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.
Sala Thai is a favorite of ours. The food is always delicious and attractively presented. Atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. Rest rooms are clean.
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.
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.
I love this place!! The people are super nice and the food is excellent!
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.
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
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.
Very good! I enjoy the Pad Thai and their egg rolls are delicious. Great for lunch!
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.
Food is great, especially the lunch specials!
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.
My favorite place to eat Pad Thai! Quick and friendly service!
Amazing food!
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.
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.
I love the chicken pad thai and the drunken noodles.
Great food!! And very friendly staff. Will be coming back
