Great service and Food. Get the Crispy Duck!! You'll thank me later. The Tom Kha soup is the best, not too coconuty with a hint of sweet. Panang Curry is so flavorful. And the old favorite, Pad Thai-great. Do expect to have a leisurely dinner as the owner is the primary server and everything is cooked to order. Patience is a Virtue as they say! read more

We get take out about once a month. Love the green curry. Also spring rolls and dumplings and pad thai. Aways ready when promised.

Did take-out at Baan Thai Sala Thai for the first time and the pad Thai was quite good. Service was friendly and welcoming and though they forgot to include our spring rolls with our order the experience was a good one. The restaurant's physical presence was a little underwhelming, but was neat and clean. The menu is extensive, so we will try again and be more adventurous. read more

Service is good. The food is decent , I would definitely eat it again what I don't like is that the menu tells me one price and I get charged another price and when I ask about it, she says it's old menu. Not everyone orders without looking at the price some people like to treat themselves to a restaurant meal every once in a while and you get your bill and two out of the three items you order are more expensive than what you read. It just seems kind of shady. read more

Delicious!! Cutest little spot. Very friendly service. Authentic Thai. We've traveled a lot and this place is delicious!

Great food. I usually get take out but had lunch there last week and enjoyed it very much.

After driving 5 hours, the last thing anyone would want on the highway is another grease bomb from a fast food dive. The quest between Baton Rouge and Mobile was to find something / anything good that we could order and pick up enroute. This was the answer. will stop again when traveling through. read more

Always outstanding! Service is excellent and friendly, food is amazing the sushi is perfect. I will add another review a bit later read more

I looooove this restaurant and Gem and her sweet lady that works there now is so helpful and sweet too. The food does not taste like it has all the preservatives and filler that other Thai and Asian restaurants have. My husband and I both love going here and also supporting the owner, she's amazing read more

Almost didn't find it as it had moved up the street from where it had been for years. As always Ms Gem continues with outstanding Thai dishes, although she doesn't do the lunch buffet like she did at the other location. Mussaman Curry is my always favorite! And the Mango Sticky Rice for dessert! read more

We stopped in here because we wanted Thai food. We went there for dinner and I think they cater mostly to the lunch crowd and take out in the evening because no one was there. It is very close to the Covington courthouse. We ordered pad woon sen and drunken noodles and both were really good but if you don't like spicy, order your drunken noodles mild. I loved the flavor of the pad and the crispness and freshness of the veggies. I also loved the texture of the glass noodles. I would definitely go back or order take out. read more

This place without a doubt is the best Thai food the Northshore has to offer. Get the red curry, pad Thai, or basil fried rice. Everything is great but these are the top 3. I eat here at least once a week! Friendly customer service as well and the owner is a sweetheart!! read more

This was my first Thai food and I will try it again. I guess I just like different spices and taste, so this did not meet my wishes this particular evening. That said, the service was more than excellent. I was the only customer and it was late. I was reminded of the Hemingway short story,"A Clean, Well-Lighted Place." Of course, by the time I was finished taking my time, there were just the owner and me remaining. She kindly offered me a ride to my car, parked some distance away (long story, never mind). I politely declined and departed, thinking I should try Thai cuisine one more time. Not wanting to be too prejudiced. read more

Service: rude, the larger girl, doesn't know the menu, told me to read the menu myself. Food: really salty, and oily. Will not come back. read more

I ordered the drunken noodles and i was not disappointed. They were delicious and the whole staff was friendly and congenial.

Best Pad Thai I have ever eaten. Service was great. Plan to return when back in that area.

Have totally enjoyed the food from here. Excellent service. Amazing menu. Hubby and I have tried several different things and all have been perfect. I order differently than most people due to dietary issues and Baan Thai manages to get things perfect for me every time. Mother's Day they had a special sushi roll and it was magnificent! Try this place - you'll love it! read more

How the mighty have fallen! In its previous location, this restaurant was the best Thai in Covington. No longer. We waited for our food for over an hour on Mother's Day with only three other tables filled. The food was mediocre, but the speed of service was dreadful. On top of that, the corner of the dining room had constant ants crawling onto our table, along with a fly and beetle to keep them company. I'm sorry to say that I do not plan to return. read more

This place is amazing. I love Thai food and I live in Houston. This is better than anything I have had in Houston super authentic. Perfect level of spicy. I had the stir fry eggplant with chicken and the TomYum soup with chicken. Both were fabulous. Service was great. It was a Tuesday night so not busy. I will be back the next time I am Covington for sure!! read more

Baan Thai Sala Thai - Stir fry eggplant with chicken. - Thai Near Me - Covington, Louisiana

Covington is a really small city but it has a good number of Thai restaurants. Of the few Thai restaurants on the Northshore that I have been to Sala is the best. The outdoor patio is a great dining option. My friend and I came here recently and we were very pleased with both the service and food. We were seated immediately upon our arrival. The lady who served us was really friendly. My friend had the Phanaeng Curry w/shrimp and it was very good. The curry was not overwhelming. I opted for the Chicken Cashew Nut made Thai hot. It was absolutely wonderful. Spiced just right for me. The chicken was tender and full of flavor. The presentation of the dishes was very good as well. The cozy atmosphere, welcoming staff, and amazing food make this restaurant one of the best choices on the Northshore. read more

So they do a buffet at lunchtime now. Not quite my thing but, it's pretty good actually. The Pad Thai is good, the potstickers are great and the curry is so amazing I ate two bowls of it. Almost licked the bowl after my second one. And it's cheap. You cannot beat 8 bucks a person all you can eat Thai. Walk in, seat yourself, have your drink order taken then serve yourself. It's legit for a buffet. read more

This restaurant is incredible. Located in beautiful downtown old Covington, Sala Thai is a relatively new restaurant with amazing food. The building appears to be an old house. The dining area is spread out in separate rooms and there is also a patio for outdoor dining. The restaurant wasn't busy so we had a room all to ourselves. The server was very friendly and helpful. He brought out two complimentary fried dumplings containing cream cheese, crab meat and vegetables. It was very tasty. We ordered spring rolls and Shrimp Tom Yum Soup. The soup was among the best I've had. The broth was perfectly tangy with tomatoes, green onion and mushrooms. The spring rolls were vegetarian and were perfectly fried. For entrees we ordered the sweet and sour shrimp and the Thai Cashew nut with shrimp done Thai hot. I knew I was in for a treat when the waiter warned me that the cook enjoyed making dishes Thai hot and that I had better be prepared. Anytime a warning like this is given, I know I am in for a treat. It was incredible. The spice was wonderfully hot and made me feel alive. Even when very spicy, Thai food still has an incredible flavor. This dish was great. The sweet and sour shrimp was equally good, but significantly less spicy. We thoroughly enjoyed this meal and will absolutely return for more great food. read more

We ordered a house salad, pad Thai, pad kee mow, pineapple fried rice with shrimp, Thai tea, and mango sticky rice. EVERYTHING was phenomenal. The customer service was wonderful too. The sweet lady who cooked the food came out and talked to us for a while. Love the good vibes of this place. read more

Food is just ok. Portions are small. And worst of all is that I've called at least three times within the last month to place an order and each time they said they were out of something prompting me to go elsewhere. (Dumplings, thai stuffed wings, etc) Very disappointing. Also, they do not have the friendliest people working there, kinda rude. read more

Absolutely amazing authentic Thai food. Amazing service, and an incredibly nice relaxed atmosphere. And of course the food was incredible! Highly recommended. read more

save your money and go to the Thai place in Mandeville instead. Waitress was not attentive whatsoever upon all occasions of me dining there. She would be eating or on her phone the entire time and almost have an attitude when you ask her to refill your drinks which you have to get up and find her to do that. Also out of Thai tea every time I go there even when they had only been open for a few hours and don't close till 9:00 p.m.. Portions are very small compared to every other Thai place that I have been. The aesthetic is not very attractive either; I would not recommend except to take your food to go and you have to make sure to ask items you are ordering to go are actually available before you show up and they don't have what you ordered. read more

Phenomenal food, service, and the owner is amazing! Family owned and operated with love. I WILL BE BACK when I do business in this area.

Very neat and clean. Fancy and romantic at dinner time. They are known for their buffet. I do not do eat at buffets therefore I have sampled off the regular menu which is very good. All i vegetarian items are fresh. read more

After a tiring journey from North Carolina to Louisiana landed here for dinner as most places were closed on a Sunday evening in downtown Covington. The restaurant has vegetarian options which is very difficult here since it's a seafood place. Had fried vegetable spring rolls for starters - good (Pad Wee) - noodles with veggies for the main course - it was very good and flavors were on spot! Thai rice pudding with coconut milk for desert - omg! This was out if the world. I didn't expect this to taste this good!! I am going to eat this a few more times before I leave this place. Service was good. Parking was easy as I went a little later in the night and the owner is a very pleasant lady to chat with. Sorry for not taking pictures, was too hungry and tired that I just gobbled up the food read more

I thought I had already reviewed Baan Thai (formerly Sala Thai). It is one of my favorite restaurants on the Northshore. The curries are awesome and the homemade soups never disappoint. Their buffet is an absolute standout. Fresh food every few minutes, a wide selection from their menu is served on the buffet: salads, entrees, appetizers, desserts - everything is fantastic and fresh. They capture Thai flavor better than any other restaurant in the area and that is saying a lot because we are blessed with a multitude of choices here. The people that run it are 100% dedicated to making sure you have a good experience and are just as friendly as could be. (John Besh has commented on their great service and good nature) My friend and I showed up in the late afternoon and the buffet was closing down. No problem! They cooked whatever we wanted and charged us the standard charge of $8.95. Best Thai food and best value in the whole area. read more

I've ordered a few times via Menu Express. It's not best but the only Thai restaurant available for delivery in my area. Most of the times, we ordered drunken noodles and pineapple fried rice. The drunken noodles are a bit dry, but seasoning is decent. Pineapple fried rice is good. Both dishes are spicy even we ordered MILD. They need to go easy on the chilly, so kids can eat too. read more

Wife and I wanted to some take-out thai. This place was very legit. Online menu is not exactly the same as the in house menu, just be aware. We went in to order as there was an issue trying order over the phone. As we waited, the lady, who I assumed owned the place, had us try the dancing shrimp salad which is not on the menu was amazing. We took home some green curry, chicken satay, and beef salad. All were awesome. In retrospect we would have ordered the dancing shrimp over the salad we brought home. Everything is cooked to order so it takes a few minutes for them to cook your food which I much prefer to big vats. Dining room was nice, but we were tired so food was great to go. read more

I have to admit I'm not a Thai food expert. This is the third time I've tried Thai food, and all I can say is WOW! This place was great food, so many different dishes I tried and all with fresh ingredients. You can taste the freshness in all the ingredients they use here. I was amazed. I'm a huge spicy food eater and this place gives you five levels of spice to choose from. I chose 3-4 and it was perfect for me. Great service from the waitress and the price can't be beat. Will be returning for sure! read more
