The service was great, definitely be careful when ordering the upper levels of spice they are proper Thai Spice levels. Food was really good for the price and very authentic. Would come back again. read more

Sala Thai is a go to for my family for Thai food, I haven't dined in a while but finally got the chance to recently. We ordered a few things for family style: the string beans, pad thai, crispy chicken, and basil fried rice. My favorite dish was the crispy chicken, don't miss this one!! The rest of the dishes were good but not necessarily out of the world. Service and ambiance was very family friendly. read more

Classic Thai food. Great ambiance. Cute small with fast and friendly service. Can seat small and big groups. On popular nights there is a 30-45 min wait for big groups like fridays and saturdays duhh. Pad Thai and chicken satay were my fav! I only wish they offered the spring roll with peanut sauce appetizer, but everything has been good! Great beer too! Parking right outside. Safe area. read more

3.5 stars Sala Thai sports a huge dining room perfect for large groups, and an extensive menu of Thai favorites from salads to curries, soups, rice, and noodle dishes. We started with the Papaya Salad, a mixture of shredded green papaya, tomatoes, and peanuts in a lime dressing; and the Chicken Larb, a flavorful mixture of ground chicken, onion, cilantro, rice powder, and lime juice. The Pad See Eiw was a dish of wide rice noodles stir-fried with broccoli and chicken in a sweet and savory soy sauce. One of their specialty dishes was the Crispy Fish with Sweet Garlic Sauce, made of five large pieces of battered, crispy rex sole fillet, served with a sweet, sticky garlic sauce on the side. But my favorite dish was definitely the Duck Curry, made with roasted duck breast slices, tomato, pineapple, bell pepper, and basil in a a thick, creamy, nutty red coconut curry. The juicy tomato and pineapple chunks added just the right fresh, tropical pop to the duck breast and the nutty, earthy curry sauce, which went nicely with a side of coconut rice. Overall, however, the food here was toned down in flavor and simplified, and pricey for the portion sizes and simple presentation. Nevertheless, this restaurant sure is popular and draws a crowd, and the service was quick and efficient. read more

Pretty average with some good dishes and some less so. Pad thai (w/ thai hot spice level) - 2.5/5 , not sure where the thai hot was at, this basically was a medium or at best spicy at thai places I frequent. Pretty disappointing as I enjoy spicy foods, especially thai ones as their spice is usually a lot more flavorful when compared to other ethnic foods. Mussamun Curry 4/5 strong flavors and really had no downsides Parking is fairly easy, the plaza itself has many other things but Sala has its own corner and essentially its own lot. Service was great throughout with the checking in with us. Pricing is fairly higher for what I think Fremont usually does but still below the surrounding areas like Milpitas or San Jose so not a big deal. read more

The Taste We had our go-tos for fast birthday food, chicken pad thai, red curry with beef, and crispy garlic fish. All the food was good, as expected and consistent. I only wish they had a lime or lemon with the pad Thai for some acid. Service We had utensils upon request. Ambiance The service was fast for pick-up, with virtually no wait. There were quite a few other to-go orders and people inside eating, so it was as popular as usual. Verdict ‍ I still recommend this as the best Thai restaurant around, our family favorite. read more

This place doesn't need a rave review, but they've earned it. A true institution in Fremont, and now with three locations. This is the original, but was located in a lot that got bulldozed over and made into apartment complexes. It was a lot more cramped so this location has been a vast improvement. It's also nice that it's right off one of the roads closed off for the annual Arts & Wine Festival! This is also one of the few places where, if you can't get a table (and that does happen), the food is just as good if you take it to go and eat at home. Everything is delicious and there's something for every palette from adventurous to safe. read more

Sala Thai - Thai Near Me - Fremont, California

My bestie lives in Fremont so we decided to have Sala Thai for dinner tonight since her family eats here quite often. I'm usually really skeptical of trying new thai places because nothing compares to my favorite spot, Krung Thai. It was actually pretty busy here on a Wednesday night. Service was okay, waiters seemed to be rushing us through our time here. We ordered hot tea but they ended up bringing thai tea which we should've just kept because the hot tea was dark and gross. However, service was actually really fast. Our food started coming out with 5-10 minutes which was great. We ordered the crispy fish with garlic sauce, spicy papaya salad, pad thai, and pineapple fried rice. The garlic sauce paired so well with crispy fish. It was honestly the highlight of this whole experience and is a must have when coming here. The pineapple fried rice was also very delicious and was filled with flavor. The pad thai and papaya salad could've been better but still good. Our total came out to be about $85 which is not bad for all that we ordered. Sala Thai is a great choice if you're in Fremont but is probably not my favorite Thai spot. I definitely would have enjoyed it more if our experience hadn't felt rushed and if the service was better. Overall, I'd probably come back just for the crispy fish. read more

This has been my go to Thai food for probably the last 15+ years. It had been at least five years since I've been here and my husband and I decided to stop in. The crispy fish is exactly as I remember it, crispy, and sweet on the outside yet flavorful on the inside. The sweet sauce is the perfect accoutrement. My husband ordered a small portion of garlic rice, which honestly surprise me and how flavorful it was. As well as as an appetizer; cucumber salad, which was refreshing and a nice reprieve in the spicy dishes we ordered. I really appreciate how you can get a smaller serving of soup, which is enough for 2 people versus having to get a large serving. We went with a shrimp, coconut soup; Tom Kha and it was delicious. I love how Thai food incorporates coconut in a savory way. We also had the papaya salad which is served different than most traditional ways. It has Romaine lettuce, which is chopped similar to a salad. It was extremely flavorful and we both enjoyed it. We got it extra spicy and it definitely had that needed kick. Next time I would add shrimp just to add protein. The drunken noodles with beef were also cooked to perfection. The noodles were chewy and coated in flavor. My husband opted for a Thai lager beer which he stated was very refreshing. I would absolutely recommend coming here on any nights as there's plenty of space or ordering for takeout. Service was also very accommodating and everyone was nice and friendly. The place is very clean and there is a safe and plentiful parking lot. read more

Their vegetarian and non-veggie dishes are delicious. They are perfectly seasoned. Not only are their main dishes are so flavorful but their mango sticky rice is so good. I also tried their yummy thai tea. Appetizer, roti canai is a must get!! Dining-in is not an issue. They have a spacious restaurant. They r very friendly and courteous. Love love Sala Thai!! read more

Food was just as tasty as we've remembered it to be! We don't usually eat out often because the cost of food is so high nowadays, so we consider this as a treat. We ordered vegetarian Tom kha, beef pad Thai with extra veggies, and yellow curry with rice. The extra veggies and rice were additional charges, and it was kinda pricy, but fibers are always welcomed. Everything was on the mild side, so we can add peppers to our own liking. We asked for dried chili flakes on the side and enjoyed upping the heat whenever we felt like it! The service was quick and it felt like the staff were tag teaming, so our initial server wasn't the one who closed us out. That was okay with us! I thought that was pretty smart because you're always looked after and made sure everything was good, without waiting for long to be helped. We got there during dinner time on a Friday and were seated within 10 minutes of signing in. Not very loud at all. Everything came out pretty smoothly and it was an enjoyable experience. read more

I have been a customer of Sala Thai for the last 10ish years. I recently introduced my husband to this gem and he is now a fan too. We really enjoyed their crispy fish and fried rice and look forward to bringing our girls here for our next family outing. The service is always very efficient and have never had to wait for a table.

I went during lunch. The lunch plates were a good size. The place seated me immediately which was awesome for lunch. No wait time. The food came as soon as we ordered. I had the broccoli and spinach with chicken and peanut sauce. Rice was included. I also had the hot Thai tea. The tea was really good. I wanted it without sugar and that was the only option.i give 4 stars because it seems the spice level is toned down. I being a spice lover, was a little disappointed. I will come again and try more dishes. read more

The food tasted good and the place is very popular. Compared to Banana Leaf the taste of the food is more authentic at Sala Thai - the portions are larger too. This place gets really busy and there's a long wait time. There are several tables and the space is ok to accommodate large groups - please call in advance if your group size is 5+. 4 stars because it takes a really long time to get hold of the waiter to ask for any add ons or updates. Or waiter took our order at the beginning and left and I wasn't able to get a hold of her again to add something else - after 20 mins or so I went up to the front to ask for some other items from the menu. read more

Fried tofu- 1/5 flavorless, peanut sauce was thick and tasted like peanut butter rather than peanut sauce. Drunken Noodles (Veg)- 4/5 good flavor, tofu flavored; small for the price Tom Yum- 2/5 small bowl, the broth was leaning on the sour side a bit more; not very savory; lacked some salt String Beans (Garlic)- 3/5 was underwhelming on the garlic side. Didn't really taste the chili Overall it was meh. Felt as if it's lacking flavor on some simple dishes. Fremont's food scene isn't very robust, and this is in alignment with other places here. read more

ordered the yellow curry, and the sauce was incredibly rich, creamy, and perfectly spiced. The vegetables and chicken were cooked beautifully, making it a very satisfying and comforting dinner. read more

Hubby and I visited Sala Thai over the weekend. Jam packed restaurant during lunch hours. Roti canai for apps: the sauce was coconutty and sweet. Not to our liking. Did not taste or look authentic. Roti was usual. Drunken noodles (spicy) oh boy this was really spicy. My mouth was on fire. Pretty decent. Nothing great for us. Usual chicken, veggies coated in thick sauces. Portion size was small for the price. If you cannot handle very spicy food, go for medium. read more

Stopped by for lunch while my wife was in outpatient clinic nearby. Arrived shortly after it opened, and was the second party to be seated. the ambience was pleasant enough and very clean. The hostess was also pleasant enough. Wait staff were prompt, friendly and timely, three of them, two of us. Food was just OK. No fresh spring roll, only deep fried. OK. Received plenty rolls, piping hot, too hot to touch. Requested penang curry with chicken. It was OK, good flavor, not much chicken, fewer veggies. Requested extra napkins, hostess delivered two TP weight wipes intended probably for takeout orders, not for the tables, please. Talked to a nurse back at the clinic afterward. She said oh, yeah, Sala used to be really good until they expanded. read more

Wow, how is this $12? Literally a couple tablespoons of sticky rice and unripe mango? Not even a sauce on the side?? I've been coming to sala Thai for years and have never been this disappointed. It's a total rip off to charge your customers so much. I don't think I'll be coming back. You can't cheat your customers like this. read more

Sala Thai - $12 Sweet sticky rice with mango - Thai Near Me - Fremont, California

We love Sala Thai! Everything is very flavorful and give good portions too. We always order the fried fish with garlic sauce. This time we ordered crab fried rice, green curry, pad Thai, and grilled pork. Everything came out hot and pretty quick too. There was no wait for us around lunch time on a weekend. The crowd was normal where most of the tables were filled up. This place is our go to Thai restaurant when we are craving Thai food. read more

I'm really surprised to read all these good reviews, because the experience we had was not good! We were seated quickly and the servers were really nice. The problem I have is with the food. We ordered the Roti Canai which consisted of one tea saucer sized round plate. It's like a piece of flat bread cut into tiny pie like portions, served with an offputting sauce (charged extra) that tasted like it wanted to be a curry but not really curry tasting. And I LOVE curry. For $9, there should have been a lot more bread, at least double. Then we had the Pad See Ew with chicken, which was the highlight of our meal. The broccoli in particular, had good flavor. The noodles and chicken were mediocre. Then there was the driest, most overcooked BBQ Beef I have ever had. It was so tough, the knife they gave us almost wanted to give up cutting through it! My friend and I each had a piece (of the 4 pieces served), we just couldn't stomach it. I ended up letting the server know when she brought us the check at the end, and they did remove the charge. The Thai iced teas we had were also mediocre. Not sweetened enough. Well, lesson learned. Overpriced and less than average food. Not going back there again! Don't believe the hype! read more

I have been to this location a few times! It's my goto Thai spot in Fremont and great for casual lunches/dinners. My favorite dish has to be the crispy fish! As someone who doesn't usually order fish, this is insanely delicious and I get it every single time. The outside is crispy, the inside is so flaky soft and melts in your mouth. The sauce pairing is also absolute perfection! The curries and noodle dishes here are also amazing, so really can't go wrong with your order. I highly recommend doing family style so you can try a little bit of everything. Parking is super easy as this is located in a complex. I'd say getting a seat can be tough during busy times. read more

I love Sala Thai and think it's one of the best Thai restaurants in the area. Have been here over the years, but most recently had dinner this week and it did not disappoint, as usual. Our favorite dish is the crispy fish - it comes out SO hot and crispy on the outside, but so soft on the inside, and the sauce that it comes with that you pour over the fish is the perfect sweet pairing. This time we also got the drunken noodles, larb salad with ground chicken, roti, a fried rice and the panang curry with two extra orders of white rice. Everything was super delicious and worth ordering. I will say that portion sizes may have gotten a little smaller (was most noticeable with the drunken noodles) since pre-COVID, but I guess that's normal for every restaurant nowadays. The four of us still left really full and satisfied! Service was quick though we came on a weeknight so it wasn't too busy. Plenty of parking in the lot around the restaurant as well as large seating areas, with two individual bathrooms in the corner. read more

THE CRISPY FISH WITH THE SWEET GARLIC SAUCE IS A LIFE-CHANGER! Came here Sunday ~5:40 pm. The place was not busy so we were seated immediately. What we ordered: - Pad See Eiw with beef, a classic staple to the table. Very saucy and flavorful. Even the broccoli radiates flavor from the sauce! - Pad Kee Mao with chicken. Also a classic staple to the table. Also very saucy and flavorful. The presence of bell peppers adds a slight crunch and some sweetness. - Pineapple Fried Rice ~ despite having pineapple chunks and raisins in this dish, this fried rice was not sweet. With a slight yellow curry flavor, this dish is a nice rice dish to add to the table. - Crispy Fish ~ which was the highlight of the night! The fish is freshly fried and comes piping hot and extra crispy. Paired with the sweet garlic soy sauce, this dish left us fighting for pieces! Make sure to order more for the table! With a party of 5, two of these dishes were enough to satisfy 5 hungry souls! Been dreaming about this dish since I first tried it, and it did not disappoint! Service was quick and efficient. Servers are respectful and careful when serving hot dishes, even when holding multiple dishes in one go. A family-friendly establishment and parking is ample. This was my second time returning since the first time in May and the food was just as good-- Very consistent in quality and taste. One of the favorite restaurants in Fremont. Will return, especially for the crispy fish! read more

BIRTHDAY DINNER My birthday was on a Sunday in September. I thought about treating myself to dinner at another place however my sister and parents treated me here. We arrived on an early Sunday evening. I ate at Sala Thai a couple of times. I knew what to expect. One of the items I always tend to order is the crispy fish with sweet garlic sauce. Besides the crispy fish the other items ordered that Sunday were the panang curry and pad prik king. For the panang curry the meat selected was beef while for the pad prik king pork was chosen. I always prefer Thai curries over Indian curries because the Thai version has a fruity texture. The panang beef was hearty as the curry wasn't earthy. With the greens the pad prik king added a crunchy texture. The crispy fish at Sala Thai never disappoints because breading is crispy yet not oily. Also the sweet chili sauce cuts the richness of the crispy fish. The Thai iced tea was a soothing drink that balances the fried items I ate. Usually I don't get dessert however I wanted the sweet sticky rice with mango. The warm, sweet rice compliments the cold, tangy mango. I myself coming back to Sala Thai again either for lunch or dinner. Lastly I want to say thank you to my sister, mom, and dad for treating me here for my birthday. read more

Sala Thai is a staple for Fremont. They have several locations, and they all serve great Thai food. My favorites are: -Satay chicken -Tom Kha soup -Crab fried rice -Paradise Noodles -garlic lover (with meat or vegetarian, both are amazing) -crispy fish with garlic sauce (sala thai special) -green curry The food is fresh and tasty. This is my go to Thai spot in fremont. It can get a little chaotic inside the restaurant with the amount of customers they get. read more

Sala Thai is an excellent Thai restaurant. My friends came here on a Sunday afternoon and got seated immediately. The ambiance was lively and the restaurant was clean. The service was good and were prompt with ordering. I got the Pad See Ew with beef and tofu and it was a 10/10! The noodles had a nice soft texture and a strong stir fry flavor. It felt like the noodles were melting in my mouth when I ate it. The beef was extremely juicy and was the highlight of the dish for me. The broccoli brought that crunchy texture, which compliments the soft noodles.The only let down was the tofu (which I ordered as an extra protein, as it was dry and didn't have any flavor cooked into it. I also got to try some of my friend's Pad Thai, and it was a 7/10. While it does taste good at the start, it didn't feel that different to other Pad Thai's I had, and I feel like I would have gotten tired of it after a few bites. I definitely recommend this restaurant if you're in the area. It is reasonably priced and brings a lot of flavor! read more

Finally tried this spot that we've heard so much about. Very busy on a Friday evening but luckily our group of 5 was sat quickly. The prices were a bit high but not surprising. The shrimp in a sleeping bag appetizer was pretty good. Our friends ordered the crispy squid which was fair. I had the yellow curry and my husband had the green curry. Both were flavorful and full of meat and veggies. As the place got busier, it got much louder in there and a bit hard to hear each other but overall was a fun dinner. This is a place I'd come back to if craving yellow curry. read more

3.5 rounded to 4. I've never been to this sala Thai as I would usually frequent #2, since that location has closed I decided to come try this one! Arrived for lunch on a Thursday and the restaurant was packed although no wait for 4 people. The service was truly excellent, they took our order quickly and the food came out very quickly, we were in and out within 45 minutes. The food itself was good. The restaurant is perfect for a quick lunch where you know exactly what you will be getting, it's nothing incredible, but it's simply, homey, good quality ingredients. The portions may be a little small, however the flavors are well developed. It's a good average restaurant that remains consistent wherever you go. However, if you are expecting incredible Thai food, this is not where you will find it. It's simply good and reliable and exactly what you would expect from a local Thai restaurant. It certainly satisfied the craving and I appreciated the quick service, I would have hoped the food would taste a little better with more nuanced flavors, however I can respect that's not what sala Thai is trying to do and for a popular local neighborhood restaurant, it was a great meal! I'd recommend telling them to make things spicy as everything came out extremely mild. We got the string beans, drunken noodles, and green curry. Everything was good, nothing was excellent. Noodles were a tad bit overcooked and curry lacked depth of flavor. Green beans were good but not notable, yet I'd probably still order them again. read more
