Full service family owned Thai restaurant serving Thai food with love.
This restaurant is an absolute gem. From the moment I stepped foot through those doors, I knew I was in for something special. The ambiance was nothing short of stunning, with a perfect balance of traditional Thai elegance and warm hospitality. It appears that the owner takes great care to maintain the highest levels of cleanliness and hygiene in the kitchen and food preparation area. I felt welcomed, and the staff was attentive but never intrusive. The menu is a combination of dishes from regions throughout Thailand. I recommend Basil Fried Rice and Tom Kha Kai. The Thai tea was spot-on, enhancing the entire meal.
Having worked in a "mom and pop" Thai restaurant as a sous chef, my expectations of this place was high. Unfortunately, it was dashed. The Pad-See-Ew had some flavor, but was not caramalized enough. The fried rice, while a lot, was tremendously lacking in ingredients. The lunch special - the curry had a good flavor, but the Pad Thai was plain noodles and was bland, to say the least. The waitress was not very pleasant and was rushing us to order. The fried egg rolls were okay.
Overall, I would NOT recommend this place at all.
While the portion of the Drunken Noodle and Teriyaki Chicken we ordered were smaller than other restautants, the flavors were on point. And like some customers have suggested, if you enjoy their Iced Thai Tea, order the bottled version as you get about 2.5 servings. Service was prompted but that's probably because we were the only customers right when they opened at 11am. Nevertheless, we enjoy the food and ambience in this hole-in-the-wall establishment that has been around for many years now.
Awesome place & foods ... very friendly, and owner is very helpful ... highly recommended
Low cost buffet available weekdays lunchtimes. Lots of menu choices, I've never been disappointed by the food. Sometimes short staffed on weekends which can lead to slow service.
I pick up delivery 🚚 orders from this location and I saw 🪚 a sign 🛑 that said "VEGETARIANS ARE WELCOMED" I want to go back 🔙
Best curry I've had!
The Thai rice was just white rice with egg, carrots, and tomatoes. Very bland. 2 stars because the pepper steak was good.
Among the best Thai food on OKC!
A warm and welcoming atmosphere. Cozy and comfortable too. I love eating here, it feels like home
I haven't eaten there in quite a while and was very pleased with the upgraded atmosphere. Food was excellent and service was very good as well.
Best Thai food in okc
Delicious!!!!!!
Super watered-down green curry. No flavor at all. Never again.
The bomb! 💣
OMG, Excellent from start to finish! So delicious and savory. Pad Thai and zucchini are so good. You'll be glad you stopped!
Beautiful interior. A bit over priced but the flavor is there!
Masaman curry was excellent
Very very good food 👌
Great Restaurant. Great atmosphere. Wonderful service
The service was amazing, and the food was delicious. Loved the atmosphere and how clean the restaurant looked. I will definitely be back in the future. I highly recommend the mango sticky rice!!!🍽️🩷 Amazing!
Absolutely recommend the Panang Curry! Very friendly staff and great atmosphere
10/10 all around. service is always great. food is even more amazing. atmosphere is great.
pad thai is so flavorful, saucey, and great amount. thai tea is a must. gyoza is perfectly crispy, but not too overdone.
throughly enjoy visiting sala thai. HIGHLY recommend
Great restaurant. Can customise dishes. Can handle dietary restrictions. Can make dishes without onion garlic.
Great food. Monday lunch is the best. Fresh flavors.
Delicious thai food, one of my favorites in the city!
Very amazing food never ordered SOMTHING I didn't like everything is good at that place and the DUCK DISHES ARE AMAZING!!!
Excellent FRESH food, nice atmosphere.
It’s always good. When I want Thai food I only order from Sala Thai, no matter where I am in Oklahoma City at that time. Very good! Thanks!
I have been eating here for YEARS....and their panang curry was the best in town. Now, they water their curry down SO much there is absolutely NO taste to it. It's no longer creamy--its literally WATER-BASED and terrible! This will be THE LAST time I spend money here!!! I will go to Panang Curry from now on.
Cute small restaurant. I love the decor and got to try boat noodles. We also got fried rice, curry, beef salad and thai tea. Pleasant lunch
Here I had the best Birthday Lunch. I love the quiet, the pretty decor and the music. It's so peaceful and I love the flavors of my dish Massaman curry. This place will leave you up at night craving for more. ❤ I've also had their boat noodle which is my all time favorite.
I heard that this place is F O R S A L E.
Literally the most delicious food. I have never had a bad meal here.
cheap and tasty. $10.95 TAX INCLUDED lunch special is generous and great choices. The curry and dishes rotate every day of the week so you can eat here again and again.
Couple of gluten-free options!! :)
It wasn't very busy but the staff was great and our food was amazing we will definitely be coming back.
Lunch special is impressive. Tax included also in the menu price. I like that. Had very good Green Curry and 2 small portions of "sides", teriyaki and stir fried chopped chicken. Came with light brothy soup and 2 dumplings in sweet sauce. All good. Server was very nice and attentive.
There is a coupon out there from "Abenity" through better health insurance. Sala Thai was nice enough to honor the coupon the one time.
I will ask for 4/5 stars instead of 3/5, which was not spicy enough for me, but they bring chili pepper if you'd like.
Delicious and great service! 😋 Yum!
So the food is good we have ordered several times however this time I found a long hair in my rice. After looking through my rice some more I notices several strains of hair all in my rice. I ended up having to throw away my whole order and have Uber eats refund me my meal.
this is an elegant thai dining experience. the ambiance is calm and immaculately balanced. one feels at peace inside due to the buddhist decor that promotes peaceful feeling. i was a bit confused about the curry. we had fried spring rolls for appetizer and the small portion only had 3 spring rolls. i had red curry with chicken and it wasnt red in terms of color. my girlfriend had curry also albeit a different type and it was more red than my curry. i asked for 2/5 spiciness and it wasnt spicy at all it was actually very mild in flavor. her curry was 3/5 spiciness and it hardly had any spiciness. the menu was so well written we were expecting a major culinary experience but to my surprise the food was rather underwhelming. both our curry had watery consistency and i am not sure if this is the standard for thai curry. japanese curry is like gravy except thicker in viscosity. indian curry is also thicker in viscosity. strangely the curry here is watery and thin. i enjoyed the dining experience but nothing really impressed me when it comes to the food. the decor and ambiance is five stars and service equally elegant.
Lovely feeling, warm and friendly, delicious food.
I’ve ordered take out and eaten in the restaurant twice and they have never disappointed me! The wait staff is very helpful and friendly and the service is quick but not too quick that the food comes out wrong/bad. I have always gotten exactly what I wanted so it is the perfect place to go if you want good Thai food quickly!
Good food. Nice atmosphere. Decent service.
Always delicious and pretty fast too. The beef panang roti is my favorite.
They are just the sweetest that could be. The food is always great and consistent. I always get a level 5 spice and they make it perfect every time.
I don't care what anyone says, this place is the best.
It's always nice.
Really good pad Thai and drunken noodle! We will be back to try more for sure!
My favorite Thai food in OKC for the past 40 years. Family owned and very friendly and welcoming.

Enjoy this place and have since they first opened. Excellent recipes, knowledgeable servers and relaxing atmosphere.
The best Thai food available in the city!! Friendly wait staff, great atmosphere, and incredible food. Do not pass by without stopping in, you'll thank me.
This is THE perfect place for tasty treats! Vegetarian friendly with a refreshing atmosphere! The staff are top notch and the service is excellent! AN ABSOLUTE TREASURE!
Very tasty food, great service too
The food is delicious. with friendly price and service from the staff is also very good Must come back to eat at this restaurant again for sure
This pace is very clean and the food is delicious. Service is okay
Sala Thai has the best Thai food in town. I love their Thai Basil!
เมื่อวานเพื่อนพามาทานอาหารที่ร้านนี้ กุ้กเป็นคนไทยที่มาอยู่ทีนี่นานแล้ว อาหารรสชาดเยี่ยม บรรยากาศไทยๆ เป็นร้านอาหารไทยที่น่าประทับใจอีกแห่งในต่างแดน
First time eating here and I definitely plan to go back. Friendly staff and the drunken noodles were amazing. Highly recommend.
I always enjoy dinning here , My favourite N1* Pad thai noodle. Friendly staff, cozy place feeling like home . Give them 5 start ♥️
I have come and order Pad Thai Noodles. The taste is great, authentic Thai flavor. The place is clean with nice decor give a clam feeling makes me enjoy food even more. The waitress is friendly. Hope to come for drunken noodles next time.
The food was great until we found a roach in one of our plates. Great food but I refuse to eat here again see review a couple slots down for picture of roach
Great food with reasonable prices and attentive service!
Food was ok, but menu is already limited, and they don't even actually offer large portions of the menu. Food and tea were instant, not very authentic. Portions are incredibly small, especially for the price. Seriously, I am not a big eater anymore and it would take two meals to actually be full. The portion size is adequate for small children, maybe 6-10 years old.
Staff was very friendly and attentive, though. Perfect service.
Atmosphere really is pretty cool
Good food. Excellent service
Food was fantastic
From the entry of the restaurant, the authenticity is visually captivating. The food is priced so well and the FOOD you have to try for yourself. My wife and I came here on our 2 year anniversary and we had drunken noodles and ginger Thai chicken. Thank us later!!!! Best Thai food in OKC !
No one from the restaurant could tell me a signature dish for which can be a most popular dish. They could not suggest a noodle, rice or seafood dish either. No Dish they can suggest for a visiting tourist. Service quality was mediocre to bad and staff was borderline impolite. I will not recommend this place for any one at all. They charge for everything even a paper bag, just ridiculous. Their menu says tiger prawn, squid, fried basa etc for seafood dish. Check the photos below showing salad shrimps instead of tiger prawns no other seafood in sight, few random fried fish pieces. Dry pad Thai, very low quality and unhygienic food. Oil smells stale and food microwaved old stock.They need to be inspected by authorities for misrepresenting dish descriptions in the menu and unhygienic food. Just too low in scale to compare with any other restaurants even in this area. Avoid this place at all the cost. Hands down worst restaurant.

Everytime I come here this lady is so rude and disrespectful. She won't ever address me and treats me like I'm a thief. I'm a veteran who fought for this country. F this place
My wife and I eat here regularly. She really enjoys the Chicken Mama and I enjoy the Sala Thai Fried Rice. They are always friendly and polite. They have wonderful Edamame.
I don't really Remer being here but google asked me to rate this place so here I am.
Great ambiance, excellent service, and most of all, spectacular food.
Excellent pad thai.
First time here today and I just gotta say I'm absolutely blown away. Every single food item that I tried on the buffet was amazing. Everything was hot and fresh and being refilled constantly. The servers were amazing and were on top of our every need. All the staff were kind and helpful. I can't wait to come here again. I can't wait to bring all my friends here. I can't believe this is my first time here!. Everyone has to go here at least once. The place was busy but not too busy. You could tell this is a loved local spot.
A+++ in every single way possible!
Yummy place to eat and decent price.
Love, love, love this place! If you have not been here for Thai food, you are truly missing out.
This is by far one of the best Thai places in OKC. We had the drunken noodles and pad Thai and they were both delicious. Also, their prices are super reasonable.
I absolutely love Sala Thai. The interior is adorable and reminds me of times I spent in Thailand. The curry is on point and I love that they have fresh spring rolls with tofu. Definitely my “go to” when I don’t feel like cooking or just am craving Thai food!
Although the portions were a bit smaller than I'd expected for the price, the food was delicious and every bit worth it. Living in a town with the nearest Thai restaurant too far to drive to, it was so exciting to be in the area and find such a relaxed, lovely little place. We got to seat ourselves, which I always appreciate. Not only were the Drunken Noodles (spice level 2) perfectly tasty, but also the appetizer was visually appealing. If I am nearby in the future, I plan to return.
Honestly this is the most disgusting food I've ever had the displeasure of tasting. The food stinks and I will never come back. I will tell everyone I know, and random people, to never order food from here.
Love this place some of the best Thai cuisine and Curry in Oklahoma City
Really good thai food.
they got the best flavors around let me tell u
0 stars, walked in, stared at as if we were not welcomed, were not greeted, the server looked at as w disdain, we had to ask to be seated as the server looked at us w disdain and confusion. I had to ask her "do you have any servers?" She snapped out of her frozen state, leas us to a table in the very back... I'm reviewing as I'm sitting here in observation of how 2 other parties were greeted and accommodated immediately. Unfortunately these people have issues with implicit bias, possibly blatant racism.
Service people are very Rude.
One of the best Thai places around. Portions may be a little small for the price and soda comes in cans, but the food is excellent.
Therebare several really good thai restaurants in okc sala is in my top 2 their lunch special is always on the mark
Great food and service. Everything we've had was always excellent
I have never met a more customer forward set of employees. I go there quite frequently because their food is so good and absolutely love their curry. Today I went for lunch and forgot to order it with extra sauce. When the woman took the food out she recognized me and went out of her way to go get me extra sauce from remembering pst orders without me even asking!!! It was so sweet
The lunch special is amazing!!
Some of the best Thai food I have had
Good little spot
I don't have a wide variety of cuisine in my dining out. Chinese take-out is about the most exotic thing I do. However, a family member brought me here several years ago and it is fantastic! We go pretty basic, with fried rice and pad Thai. My fellow diners love the curries. I always overhear people telling staff this is the best Thai place. I love the atmosphere. Casual, but also elegant and homey, all at the same time. Try it!
While the portion of the Drunken Noodle and Teriyaki Chicken we ordered were smaller than other restautants, the flavors were on point. And like some customers have suggested, if you enjoy their Iced Thai Tea, order the bottled version as you get about 2.5 servings.

Nevertheless, we enjoy the food and ambience in this hole-in-the-wall establishment that has been around for many years now.
Recomendado
So good!! This place is just wonderful. The staff are always awesome :) Perfect tofu, the decor was great, and the restaurant generally felt comfortable.
Sala is my favorite Thai restaurant in OKC. The staff is super nice and the food is great!
Amazing, fresh Thai food. Delicious!
One of the best most authentic places I've eaten Thai food also the owner's super friendly and has always spoken to me and made me feel very welcome. The food is amazing the service is impeccable I would say if you're not a spicy person stay below a 3 me I'm like a 4 or 5 guy I like it hot but the pad thia amazing and the and the basil fried rice.
Good place
Best Thai in OKC.
All hits, no misses.
Great red curry. Pad Thai is also perfect.
And the ambiance - it’s almost like dining at home. Very homey in the right way. And comfy. No rush to move along and scarf down the foods.
Best spot to chill and eat on a Thursday night.
This is one of the few restaurants that will make my husband's meal hot enough. On a heat scale of 1 to 10, he likes a good 30! Also, they never make my meal too hot. Very lucky to have them available for good, fresh and flavorful Thai food.
It's an excellent restaurant. Highly recommended
Best Thai food in the city hands down.
Great service and food. My drink was refilled quickly and my food was brought out in timely manner. The food is always cooked exceptionally well. All the appetizers are delicious. The soups and salads are great. All the curries are amazing and the pad Thai is the best in the area. I have yet to order something I haven't liked.
i have been here 1 time, they do everything well. But the last 3 times their service is not very good, I asked about lunch they all said it was 13:00. They also didn't bring the menu back to lunch until I asked. saw little money so didn't want to serve much, I think. I wanted to come often but now it might be a while before I come back
Food not too great 😕 small portion, and cost too much.
Great atmosphere, service and food!
Great food, a little slow on service.
Always a pleasure to eat at Sala Thai! For decades I have eaten there. The food is always fresh, delicious and beautiful. The chef prepares each dish to your taste. The owner continues to update the atmosphere with decor from her trips to Thailand. Go there and eat something wonderful!
First time I had the crispy trout. It was very good enjoy the atmosphere there too.
Best Thai place. Still is!
Delicious and an adorable location. I got pad Thai and I wasn’t sorry, it was excellent with tofu; flavorful and lovely.
May be my new favorite Thai place. I don’t know what more to say.
The lunch special is perfect and allows for you to experience several items at one time.
With a tip I spent $10. Great lunch deal.
Sala Thai has consistently good food. There is a slight language problem at times but the quality of their dishes more than makes up for that. The server always asks what heat level is desired and the dish is adjusted accordingly. Highly recommended.
First time here was tonight, got some food to-go. The best Thai food I’ve had, maybe ever! I got the Veggie Pad Se Ew and veggie friend Spring Rolls. They served the Spring Rolls with Plum Sauce!! Sooooo good!! The inside is so clean and the design is so cute. The whole place, the employees, the service, the food and the atmosphere were all superb! Do yourself a favor and dine in ASAP! 10/10!!
We stopped at Sala Thai while passing through town and had a delicious dinner here. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and tofu and veggie vegetarian options. The green curry and Panang curry were both delicious and reasonably priced. Would definitely come back to eat here when in OKC again
The interior was really cute, nothing like i was expecting from the outside. The staff were courteous and helpful in picking out vegan options. I ordered the Thai basil with tofu and vegetables, ordered level 5 on the spice. It was really fresh and great taste but not spicy enough for me. We will definitely go back and order extra spicy on their food.
Last time I ordered there was hair in two of my dishes. Blech
This restaurant will always be my favorite. The family is so kind and the food is delicious.
Terrific Thai! The roti and red curry was exceptionally good.
Vegan options. I got the Summer rolls with tofu and red curry with tofu. Told the waitress I was vegan and she said they would put only coconut milk, spices, and curry in it. Was really good. Definitely would go back.
delicious every time! i come here with my dad for dinner sometimes and its sooooo good :) they let you pick your spice level for the curries on a scale of 1-5 and it’s nice! i usually get a 4 :)
very good thai iced tea :) - very hot girl
