Doing the happy dance. The only reason I come here is for the fried fish! So yum! My friend and I tried their Tom Kha and I like this better than the tom yum. I say this cause I had 3 small cups of soup. Everything we ordered was enough for two hungry people. They asked if we like spicy and we said yes, they left us with some condiments, they have 4 different spices. Sambal, pickled jalapenos, dry pepper and a fish sauce with hot peppers I think. This location isn't as big as the one on Walnut but the service is immaculate. Very nice people working here. They checked on us 3 times. They were attentive to our needs. Without us having to ask. Refilled our water, asked if they could take our plates. No early bills like how most restaurants do. They waited until we looked ready and gave us the bill. I definitely recommend this location. We had a very good experience and we will come back because we want to try their noodles and I want more of the crispy fish. read more

I love Thai food but was very disappointed in Sala Thai. Very welcoming atmosphere but slightly dirty. Lots of flies inside the restaurant. The service was very fast and the staff is nice. But the food is so bland. The egg rolls are soggy, wouldn't recommend. The crab fried rice is very bland. There is a good amount of rice with eggs and crab meat but it's just plain tasting, very bland. The pad Thai noodles with beef looks flavorful but it's also very bland. Just overall disappointing. Ate 1/3 of it and had a lot of leftovers. As there's lots of restaurants in Fremont that serve Thai food, I wouldn't recommend Sala Thai. It's not up to par, nothing memorable, the food isn't very good. Staff members are nice but it does not make up for the food or the flies that hover over the food as you're eating. read more

Location is close to my office so I tried this past week. Ordered basic Pad Thai and Nam soup to go. And since this was a to-go order my review is on ordering and food only. I ordered via Yelp which was easy but didn't receive a confirmation or status update. So not sure if that was in the Yelp or restaurant end. Nevertheless, my meeting went long and I ended up picking up later than expected. I've had a lot of good Thai food (including in Thailand) and I make my own, so I was managing expectations. Overall food was good but not amazing. Pad Thai sauce was okay but tasted somewhat packaged. It does the job in a pinch when I'm unable to get to other parts of town but wouldn't be my go-to. read more

I've been to Sala Thai a few times across different locations, and each one has been consistently great. My new favorite dish is the crab fried rice is packed with flavor and cooked perfectly every time. I also highly recommend the fried fish and green beans; it's become my go-to order. I usually get takeout, and the staff is always helpful with friendly, efficient service. Next time, I'll definitely dine in because the atmosphere is warm and inviting. read more

Sala Thai 3 - Car - Thai Near Me - Fremont, California

Small location, fast service. Food server named Thai is the sweetest most attentive server! Sincere and didn't miss a blink! My favorite dishes here are #1 crab fried rice and #2 shrimp pad Thai. OMGEEEEE! So good! We ordered fried green beans & spring roll appetizers. Cooked to order and super fresh. The green beans needed seasoning, every time I order I forget that. They serve them with a side of ketchup (like fries). The spring rolls were veggie but I thought they were going to be shrimp. Very good with a sweet dipping sauce ( I think plum). The crab fried rice is AMAZING perfection EVERY TIME! I can't describe the shrimp pad Thai its so creamy and again perfectly delicious! We also had hibiscus tea & sparkling water. There were annoying gnats at the table which is why I will only order TOGO from this location, going forward. The carafe of water was bitter like bad tap water in need of a filter. The parking lot is busy so order ahead for pick up and grab & go! read more

Good quality food, they have a lunch special, and the pricing is good. Service is quick. The ambiance is pretty old and beat up. It's a hole in the wall spot. It's not super clean and far from fancy but the food is good. read more

I've had this a few times already but finally writing a review. Most recently had it for takeout and ordered: Crispy fish with garlic sauce: You can't come here without ordering this. Pad Thai: I've always loved Pad Thai but usually I order Pad See Ew. I don't eat Thai food often enough so every time my Thai craving comes around it has usually been a long time since I've had Pad See Ew. This time we decided to switch it up and get Pad Thai, and it did not dissappoint. Tom Kha: Always a solid soup to warm the soul. Crab Fried Rice: I was given a secret to add the crispy fish and garlic sauce into the crab fried rice and it pairs so well! Everything was delicious! Is a go-to Thai spot for the family. read more

Okay I see the hype now as to why Sala Thai is loved by many! I typically don't eat out for Thai food since I eat it at home, however my friend insisted we go here after a long day of work. Say less if that means I can drive home without being hangry on the road and unwind by eating delicious food!! Service was better than typical Asian restaurants and it was a packed house around 6pm on Friday! Their coffee tastes pretty authentic to me and I loved it. Their portion for Panang Curry was tiny and I easily could've ate it by myself oopsies. I will say the flavor was spot on and a tad bit sweeter which I didn't mind. You can't go wrong with their Sala Thai chicken which my friend really enjoyed and their Pad Thai was not dry at all!!! Not many shrimps were included, so a little meh but oh well. Would give 5 stars if there was more protein and the portions were better. I still give this place my stamp of approval for coming close to home cooked food and will be back! read more

Got the beef pad thai and it was fine, it's of the more tomato based variant. They offer Thai tea and green Thai tea too which is nice. Food and service are prompt - nothing special, but good enough. The restaurant is not that big but they do have seating for larger parties. However, not sure if it's because of the spacing/arrangement of the tables or because it's a small restaurant but it was incredibly hard to hear anyone talk even if they were across the table. The restaurant was probably at 80% capacity but I felt like I had to raise my voice just to be heard across the table. I could see this being a good takeout or quick drop in spot to eat, but if you're trying to talk and catch up then the noise level might be an issue. read more

Sala Thai 3 - Beef Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Fremont, California

My review is for a to-go order. I was pretty disappointed by how much the food container sizes have shrunk. When paying $19 for basic Thai fried rice, $18 for Pad Kee Mao, and $16 for red curry, I'd at least expect regular-sized to-go containers not portions that feel closer to lunch special sizes. The food itself was decent, but the value for the price was hard to justify. read more

Sala Thai 3 - Thai Near Me - Fremont, California

OMG!! The food and service was AMAZING! Literally 10/10 for everything. :D My bf and I ordered the pineapple fried rice w/o shrimp and crispy fish w/ sweet garlic sauce. Both the dishes were delicious! The fried rice was perfectly flavored. Each bite was sensational. The fish was so crispy on the outside and so soft on the inside. The sweet garlic sauce paired so well with it. The workers were so kind and often checked in with us to see if everything was good. And the food came out pretty quick. I'm going to be thinking about this place and the crispy fish nonstop. Sala Thai deserves all the customers they can get. If you're ever in the area pls pls pls go try this restaurant and these two dishes!!! read more

First time ordering from here - I ordered the pad thai spicy with beef. It was solid and had good flavor. Portions were fairly smaller than I expected for the price of $18 for a medium container. The beef was a little on the dry side. I would've preferred some more beef to increase the ratio a little bit. I tried some of the crispy fish from a friend and it was so good with the sauce!! The crunchy and crispy outside texture was perfect and the fish was juicy inside. Next time I'd get this one for myself. I also liked the pad see ew that I tried a bite of. I ordered to go so i was able to come in and pick up the food pretty efficiently and quickly. It was a nice dining area inside with a lot of tables and booths. Overall I'd say thai elephant has better value for the price but the flavors are pretty good! read more

Sala Thai 3 - Pad thai 0/10 and why would they give me a spoon... - Thai Near Me - Fremont, California

We've been here a few times to Sala Thai 3. Though, we usually go to the original Sala Thai location. Parking is plentiful in this plaza. The restaurant is smaller and intimate. The decor is simple with a few paintings/pictures. One restroom only. Pad See Ew: Stir fried flat noodle with egg, broccoli, and choice of meat (chicken) with sweet soy sauce (3.5/5). The noodles were soft yet had a nice chew to it. The other ingredients like the broccoli and meat was sparse. Spicy String Bean: Sauteed string bean, carrot, bell pepper, and basil with choice of meat (beef) in chili garlic sauce (3.5/5). The default spiciness is mild, which it was. Though, they did bring out the condiments of Thai chili, etc. The string beans were cooked perfectly. The beef needed more tenderizing. Crispy Fish With Sweet Garlic Sauce: Battered and deep fried filet rex sole topped with sala Thai sweet garlic sauce (5/5). Definitely a Sala Thai favorite! Sauce goes well on Jasmine Rice too! Yellow Curry (chicken): Yellow curry paste in a coconut milk with onion and potato (4/5). Creamy, thick curry waiting to be spooned over the steamed rice on your plate. Jasmine Rice (4/5). Cooked perfectly. Thai Ice Coffee (4/5) - i like it the way they prepare it here. My friend likes it sweeter and asked for more condensed milk. read more

Amazing food and I used DoorDash to pick up dinner after work. Super easy to pick up and the lady went through and confirmed every item with me before she closed the bag and handed it to me. They gave me an array of hot sauce to add and utensils. read more

Good thai food, very crowded on a sun night and a bit loud. Food came out pretty quickly. I tried the drunken noodle, panang curry tofu and the basil fried rice. Panang curry was a generous serving and was quite good - best dish we ordered. Drunken noodle tofu was second best, we ordered it spicy and they delivered. Don't have too much to say about it, was pretty good but didn't blow my mind. Basil fried rice - could've used a bit more flavor imo but still very good , no major issues. Overall solid place for thai food, would go back for a not crowded occasion but wouldn't go out of my way to get it again. read more

First time at this location, tonight on a Friday. (I've gone to the Sala Thai 1, sometime last year). This location is smaller than the other (and not small by any means), but roomy, and has a nice vibe, with lots of good lighting. I ordered the Pad Basil with ground chicken (I thought ground chicken would be better compared to regular chicken but did ask for the staff recommendation). When asked on spice level, I asked for the spectrum: they have mild, medium, spicy, thai spicy. I think that was all unless there is a hot before spicy. I asked for medium to be safe as the other location might have been a bit spicer.. I felt like the medium was a mild for this dish when received but their dried chili, fresh chili, chili paste selection of condiments gave my dish the perfect spice boost it needed. I think I could have done spicy or somewhere in between medium and spicy. (My tolerance is high, FYI). The service staff were great - they (not just one server, but two) checked in with me to see if everything was good at different times or if I needed anything like hot sauce, etc. And I got myself a thai tea- delicious, nothing else to be said. Will come again; I think I like the chiller vibe of this one but really depends on the mood. read more

It's a great quick lunch place! No long waiting time for food and service is great. The staff is so attentive! Food is great! The crispy fish is surprisingly good with the sweet soy sauce. The creamy soup we ordered (forgot the name) was a little salty to my taste but I like the flavor. I personally like this one over the other location in Fremont. It's closer to the freeway so it's easier to get to! read more

Came back again on a late Friday night and service was still good even though they were busy. I had my go-to dish, which was their crab pad thai & it always hits hard when paired with their chili condiments. I love the sweet, sour, and spicy combination! I also decided to try something new this time and had their seafood claypot. It didn't come out in a claypot, so that was a bit disappointing... BUT the flavors were SOOOO yummy and garlicy. I'd definitely get this again next time! read more

My favorite thai place closed after the pandemic, and I've still been searching for a new go-to in the Bay Area. Decided to try Sala Thai as its popped up on my yelp a couple times and I was not disappointed! The pad thai and drunken noodles were both great, and the panang curry was delicious. I just wish the curry had a little bit more meat. The roti (unpictured) was fantastic, but very small for the price. The search for the best thai food continues, but this place definitely satisfies the cravings! read more

My go-to place to satisfy my craving for Thai food! Always greeted with friendly smiles as you walk in. They go above and beyond for service. Very casual and great for smaller groups. We got our usual spread. Roti Canai, crab fried rice, crispy fish & beef pad sew ew. Everything was perfect and consistently made. We can taste the love put into each dish. If you like your food with a lil heat like me, ask politely for the spice rack. Overall great place! read more

We came hungry with our two girls, sat down and there was ONE waitress serving 10 tables. SHUT YOUR PLACE DOWN IF YOU ARE CHEAP TO HIRE WAITRESSES! HOWEVER that's not why I am giving it 1 star... I'm giving 1 star because TWO tables came AFTER us and she took their orders first. I waived her down like WHAT ARE YOU DOING HELLO??? And she never came. My kids got frustrated and we left. DONT COME HERE THEY DISCRIMINATE AGAINST MUSLIMS! read more

Came here at opening on a Sunday afternoon. The staff is very friendly and attentive. They greet with a smile and go above and beyond to take care of the guests.

Overall, would come back since the service was exceptional. read more

Another Sala Thai in Fremont! This place is much smaller than the original, but the food seems the same and the staff is just as attentive. Located in a shopping plaza that didn't seem too busy with plenty of parking. I came in for lunch on a weekday and there was plenty of seating available. Maybe not good for bigger groups, the restaurant is considerably a lot smaller than the first location. I ordered the chicken BBQ and it came out fairly quickly. It was flavorful and the serving was plenty for myself. Can't say much about anything else on the menu, although I wish I could order more items lol Another great Thai food option! read more

I saw this place on TikTok and I'm really glad we stopped by when we were in the area! We got chicken pad Thai (no peanuts) and the crispy fish with sweet garlic sauce. I thought the pad Thai was solid but not amazing. I liked the tofu but unfortunately the chicken was pretty dry. The noodles were good though. The crispy fish however was amazing. This is one of their most popular dishes, and for good reason. The fish is fried perfectly, super crispy and crunchy but still tender and juicy inside. I also loved the sweet garlic sauce. Rich and flavorful but not overpowering. You definitely gotta order this if you come here! Staff was also very kind and friendly throughout the ordering/pickup process. I would definitely recommend Sala Thai! read more

We ordered the Paradise Noodle, Crispy Fish with Sweet Garlic Sauce, String Beans, Green Curry w/ Rice, and Pineapple Fried Rice. My all time favorite item from here is the Crispy Fish with Sweet Garlic Sauce. It's crispy on the outside and soft in the inside, and the sweet garlic sauce is what makes everything go so well together. This is a must-try if you come here. Everything else we ordered was also really good. 10/10 service and 10/10 food. read more

Had dinner here on a Thursday evening, a warm and welcoming atmosphere, casual setup with about 6-8 tables inside. The staff was friendly and helpful. The wait for our food after ordering was about 15 minutes or so. We got the crab fried rice, spicy string bean with chicken, and beef salad. The spicy string bean dish was tasty, but it wasn't spicy at all, even though we ordered medium heat. In fact, the beef in our salad was spicier, with large pieces of iceberg lettuce that we had to cut into smaller pieces in order to eat. My favorite dish was the crab fried rice, simple ingredients (rice, crabmeat, scrambled eggs, onion), cooked perfectly and satisfying. We had hoped to finish off our meal with some dessert, but they were out of the sweet sticky rice with mango, so we decided to pass. Overall, the flavors here weren't outstanding, but still good enough for me to wanna return and perhaps try other stuff on the menu. read more

Giving it an extra star because I know this place is actually really good (been to the other location), but I ordered one item and I don't think it's reflective how how good this place is. Got the crispy fish with sweet garlic sauce and it came out piping hot! The fish itself was cooked well, but the batter was really thick. It was really crispy though. The sweet garlic sauce was good, but a little too sweet for my liking. I ate it with rice and didn't think it was a good combination. Overall, it was decent, but I'll have to come and try more items. read more

Mediocre Thai food. We ordered a Golden Tofu appetizer, Pad Thai Shrimp, Pad Thai Beef, and papaya salad. There was a lot of protein, which I appreciated but the pad Thai sauce was very sweet. Nothing special about the papaya salad. It was just shredded green papaya, peanuts, quartered tomatoes, and some chopped lettuce with fish sauce on the side. We did a take out order so I don't have too much to say about the service. Pricing is probably on par with the Bay area, but expensive comparatively to San Diego and LA. read more

Sala Thai is a casual Thai spot that serves up some quality favorites like pad thai, crab fried rice, and various beloved curries. Although the interior is a bit plain and simple, the focus here is really just the food. This location is so much closer to my house so I see myself coming here SO OFTEN. This spot is not nearly as busy as the other location in deep Fremont. On a weekend lunch, we were pretty much the only customer in the restaurant. There were mostly takeout orders lined up. *Crab pad thai is so flavorful despite the very pale appearance of the noodles. The sauce is tangy, sweet and salty all at the same time. The fluffy scrambled eggs and crab pieces are so delicate and sweet complimenting the noodles well. *Chicken satay was one of the better chicken satays I've had in a while. The chicken is juicy and tender and comes with a sweet peanuty sauce. * Duck curry was probably my least favorite of our entire order. The red curry was creamy and sweet while the duck meat was a bit tough and chewy. The bell peppers were crunchy and fresh. Definitely order a side of steamed rice for this. * Crispy garlic fish was so delicious. The fish was fried perfectly with a brown outer shell. The interior is super flakey and soft. The cuts are thick so it stays really moist. That garlic sauce is just everything you look for- sweet, salty, and garlicky. Service is fast and efficient. You really can't ask for more. A lot of other thai places will be a bit more upscale with their interior and smaller portion sizes at the exact same price (if not more) but Sala Thai does thai food justice. read more

Pad see ew 5/5 - this was tasty although there wasn't much beef. Pretty oily but expected for this dish. Serving size isn't too big for take out but when we dine in it seems a lot more. Panan curry 5/5 - I love the coconut flavor and the slight kick this has. I love the veggies too! Very creamy. Doesn't come with rice so you need to order separately. We ordered through Uber eats and put in the notes for extra jalapeños and they only gave one little container of it.. it definitely wasn't enough for two dishes. read more

Simply great quality & casual Thai food! This location is smaller than the original one, but the staff here are very accomodating. We were easily seated at 6:30 PM on a Friday. Not too busy. Lots of Doordash orders! My favorites are definitely the Pad See Eiw and the Crispy Fish with Garlic Sauce. These are staples of the menu. Can't go wrong with these. I also tried the Roti Canai this visit. It was incredibly flakey and gooey. The panang curry sauce is nutty and hearty. Very delicious! I wish they cut the roti though. read more

Came here after going to church mass because we don't usually dine out after the pandemic. When we arrived, we saw that their door was wide open and staff was cleaning out the floor and inside. We found it weird as they held customers out for a bit. It was then explained to us that the night before some hooligan shattered their glass door (breaking and entering) the establishment. That is why they are assessing the situation after reporting it to the police. The place is small that can accommodate a medium size party. It was kept clean and with simple homey decoration. We ordered their catfish fillet, crab fried rice and green curry. It was sumptuous. It's crispy outside, not oily, and the fish is fluffy fresh. It so goes well with the rice which is breaming with flavor and actual crab flakes, not those thin stringy kind but clumps along with diced up veggies. But the high light is the chicken green curry that is just aromatic with the herbs and spices that doesn't offend the nose nor the mouth. it was mild as we liked and all of us agree that it was very, very, good. I wanna come back here. read more

**BEST THAI FOOD EVER!** I've been to all the Sala Thai locations, and it hits every time. My go-to in the South Bay is the crispy fish with sweet garlic sauce, while in the North Bay, I can't get enough of the papaya salad and drunken noodles. No matter what you order, it's hard to go wrong here. The servers and staff are always friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. Honestly, if I could afford it, I'd eat here every day! The prices have gone up over the years, but I don't mind splurging a little because I know Sala Thai will always make me happy. read more

Love this place! The food here tends to be on the sweeter side - which has been mentioned a lot in the reviews - but it is very delicious. We've eaten at the other location as well and both have been fantastic. We ordered roti canai, pad thai with chicken, pla rad prik (crispy fish with sweet, tangy sauce), and pad kee mao. Roti is my favorite appetizer so I was content with the taste and the panang curry as the dipping sauce, but I did find it was very little for the price. The pad thai is very well-made; the chicken is tender (not chewy) and has a good balance of sauce to noodles. The pad kee mao is smoky and flavorful. The pla rad prik is really good! It's crispy and has a nice ratio of fish to batter. The service was super quick considering it was a full house and we ordered 4 dishes. This location is smaller than the other one but was less hectic. Glad that there's multiple locations in Fremont! read more
