    Shrimp tempura roll
    Dahabina O.

    I went to get some food to go. I had a lemonade with the lemon in it. I got the shrimp tempura roll and it was delicious. It came with the chopsticks and was a nice little meal before I went out to run errands. It was nice and crunchy I highly recommend this dish.

    Mango sticky rice

    Note: This review is based on a delivery / takeout order, so focused exclusively on the food and not the service / ambiance. Although I was a little hesitant about the less-than-stellar reviews, I was recently desperately craving some Thai food and UberEats had a 30% off deal for this place that was just too good to pass up. And, wow, am I glad I took the risk! I was SUPER happy with everything that I ordered, and it absolutely satisfied my need for a bit of spicy, holy basil-infused comfort in a bowl. I ordered their pad see ew with vegetables and shrimp, papaya salad, and mango sticky rice -- each dish was fantastic, and they had generous portions; this was plenty of food for 2-2.5 meals. I put everything at their "regular" spice level, which didn't seem to be super consistent across their dishes. The pad see ew was hardly spicy, while the papaya salad made me run for a glass of water. The pad see ew was nearly perfect -- it had a great balance of spicy, sweet, and savory flavor profiles, and the noodles were soft but still slightly chewy. The veggies were fresh and crisp, and the shrimp was juicy and plump with a great touch of char from the wok. The noodles were a bit more oily than I generally prefer, but it was still a great dish overall! And the noodles paired perfectly with the light, refreshing papaya salad (requested without peanuts because I'm allergic). The papaya, carrot, and green beans were all super fresh and had a great crunch. They went wonderfully with the salty, sweet, sour, and spicy dressing, and the tomatoes offered a great extra little pop of freshness! This dish takes its spice a bit more seriously than the other items on the menu, so either have a glass of water ready or order it slightly milder level. After a delicious (and slightly spicier than expected) meal, the mango sticky rice was the perfect way to wrap up this comforting dinner. The rice was perfectly sticky but not mushy, and it was sweet, but not overly so, from the coconut milk / sugar. This was all topped with a lovely sliced mango, which was at the perfect level of ripeness to offer a refreshing, natural sweetness as well as a slight sour kick to balance out the rest of the dessert. I also loved the way they arranged the two mango halves to look like a heart -- so cute! All in all, I was thoroughly impressed by Sala Thai! Every dish was delicious and super well-executed -- I can't wait to try out the rest of their menu in-person!

    Terrible, served me old wings that looked spoiled inside. Glad I was paying attention before eating them

    Spicy Basil Fried Rice

    I like this location- it's located right next to the Minnesota Ave Metro station. I ended up here accidentally as I was killing time and starved! It's a cute restaurant in a growing area. It was not too crowded inside as it was during late lunch timeframe. It's pretty modern inside with seating, a bar, and R&B playing. The menu was extensive and they had lunch specials. I was served by the bartender who was super helpful in helping me select a meal. I settled for the spicy rice/chicken. I opted for very spicy and it delivered to my satisfaction. This is a perfect spot for a happy hour or quick bite. The staff all seemed pretty amazing. Definitely return as I'm in the area a lot during my commute.

    Fried Tofu
    Pam C.

    Just popped by to pick up dinner and was pleasantly impressed with the deliciousness of my food. I started with the fried tofu on the HH menu. These were big triangles of perfectly fried tofu with a soft interior served with a sweet and sour sauce. I loved the panko coating which made these nice and crispy. I also had the Tom Kha soup with chicken. It was piping hot and nicely seasoned. It was tofu nite for me as I ordered the Ka prow tofu for an entree. The heat made this exciting to eat. Also loved that the veggies retained a nice crunch.

    Spicy Basil Fried Rice
    Shay S.

    Working from home today and decided that I was too lazy to make me and my oldest niece something to eat. I've ordered from Sala Thai several times before and have never been disappointed but at the same time, I'm never satisfied. It's the inconsistency for meeeee! I always get the Spicy Basil Fried Rice. The heat from this dish always varies from a nice summer day to the vestibule of h*ll! Whoever cooked my meal today understood the assignment and still chose to do extra credit anyways. It really didn't need to be THAT spicy *insert eye roll*. I had no idea that this food was going to be Thanos and each bite was going to be the snap that wiped the existence of my tastebuds. Slight torture but still edible. If you order this dish you will be entering into The hunger games, so may the odds be EVER in your favor. My niece did enjoy her food which was good since this was her first time trying this place. They give you plenty of food and the prices are reasonable.

    I want to start off by saying this is a review for the food only. I did not visit the establishment and sit down to dine. This was delivered to me via Uber eats. It took a total of 25 minutes from the time I ordered it until the time I received it. I live very close. I ordered the Sala Thai dumplings, Wings and the Goong Krob Kra Prow. The items were placed in containers that didn't allow for anything to be soggy as you will see in the photos. I ordered the wings naked, with sweet and sour sauce on the side. It came with six wings, celery and plenty of sauce for the wings. The sweet and sour sauce was really good. I don't know the name of the sauce that came with the dumpling. Frankly, I didn't expect any, but it was a great dipping sauce. They were made primarily of crab, shrimp and pork. Each bite was full of flavor. I would definitely order them again. Lastly, I took a chance with the Goong Kra Prow. I don't usually order shrimp, especially fried shrimp because I'm never sure what I might end up with. I thought this dish was wonderful. The large shrimp were seasoned very well, lightly battered and were cooked to golden, light, juicy perfection. The veggies were fresh and the rice very fluffy. The sauce was excellent and more than enough for both of my meals, because If you look at my plates, you'll notice that I have enough for two. I already started eating before I remembered to take the pictures. I would recommend this place for the food!! No doubt!

    The office gang wanted to order lunch. Once we picked what type of food we wanted, we checked delivery range & ratings. Everyone voted the same. The food came fairly quickly. The boxes were nicely packed. Nothing leaked. The portions were huge. The Pad Thai was excellent. The noodles were yummy. The sauce made the dish. The red tofu was good. The broccoli was fresh. The carrots were creatively cut. The dish was large enough for two meals.

    This place is a vibe! Especially happy hour on a Friday. Everybody is friendly and having a good time. They have this fish bowl cocktail drink that is blended so well and so strong for $10. I highly recommend because it will get you on your level. I got the crab Rangoon's which were very appetizing and made with real lump crab meat. For my entree I got the red curry chicken with Thai noodles. I was not expecting it to be fire but low and behold it was!!! Very authentic and full of flavor. I was overall very satisfied with my food and drinks here. The service is not the best but the great food makes up for it.

    This is quaint place pumping out deliciousness. The fried oysters were good with a crispy outside…read moreand moist inside. The gyozas were really good. Drunken noodles had the perfect amount of spice and great flavor. Definitely recommend!

    I stopped by for a late lunch. The place was pretty empty, with only five other customers dining in…read moreand a few pickup orders coming through. I ordered the Thai tea lemonade and the chicken teriyaki bento box. The beverage was refreshing with just the right amount of sweetness. The bento box came with chicken teriyaki, a California roll, fried gyoza, a spring roll, seaweed salad, jasmine rice, and miso soup. The miso soup was a great starter. I also enjoyed the gyoza and spring roll. The teriyaki flavor on the chicken was nice, though I could have done without the stringy carrot and onion mixture. I didn't want the salad, but they don't allow substitutions, so that pretty much went to waste. Service was a mixed bag. The lady who welcomed me in was friendly; however, my waitress was curt and she neglected to bring me chopsticks and a fork for my entree until I asked for them. She did acknowledge her oversight. Overall, the food did the trick because I was hungry. It wasn't the best Thai food I've ever had, but it wasn't terrible either.
