This place used to be decent, but lately food and services have been horrible!!! Definitely I will not come back again. If you don't want to waste your hard earned money and get bad Thai food in return, find another restaurant. read more

GOOD FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO JOKE!!!! One of the best thai food I ever been to. TIPS WHEN EATING THERE: Never order the seafood! Why? They charge $10 more when you eat the seafood although they do give you a pretty decent amount of seafood. TRY THE CORN FRITTERS! It is so awesome. They fry corn and then server with some tasty cucumber. Ignore the waitress about asking to upgrade your meal to seafood. JUST IGNORE then seriously. DONT Order there thai ice tea. It taste good but they fill it all up with ice. I HATE ICE! Follow these tips and you will have a pretty decent cost and good tasting thai food. read more

As far as Thai food is concerned this is probably my second favourite in all of SCAL. You can't go wrong, literally, this is the restaurant to go to when you are starving and what something you know will not disappoint. The menu is packed with options. My favs are veggie fried rice, red chicken curry with potatoes and carrots, traditional Thai BBQ and the best pad see ew with grilled shrimp. The crispy fried spring rolls are scrumptious! Great place for a date, a luncheon, family dinner, business dinner or for entertaining out of town guests. read more

Bought food there several times. Never dine in. Pad Thai is awesome!!! that's the only reason I go there!! Extra star for that dish.. not sure about the rest. I did not like the curry that much, and it is a bit pricey, but it is worth to try! yes read more

I come here because its local and convenient. The food is ok, service is ok, prices are affordable. My favorite dish is the sizzling beef.

Been here many times. Incident was few years ago but Went for sister's bday treAt. Bday sister ordered Prik King with green beans. OMGoodness it had not one, not two, but SEVERAL short hair strands. Informed the waitress who didn't seem bothered nor did she offer ANY incentive. Felt terribly for my sister having that junk in her meal on bday. Don't know if they cooked another dish but remember that they didn't give a hoot. Disgusting hAving one hair in your food but several! ! What were they doing? ! Cutting their hair while food was prepared!! Yikes. Didn't go there for some time after. Have Yelp now so can make review. Also ordered Thai tea to go and put it in such a small cup costing me $3.95!!! What a rip-off!! Couldn't say anything cause someone else picked up and had no idea how much it cost! ! I may have called to complain but didn't want the hassle of driving there. read more

Thought I would give this place another chance. Ordered $75 worth of food to go. The girl at the front counter is not friendly! I asked for lots of peanut sauce because from previous experience I know they are stingy. I asked before I left if she gave me extra. She said it's in the box. I arrived home and found only one peanut sauce. The girl lied. I called to complain and they said they would have to charge more but never said that when I was there. They said it was miscommunication. It was not miscommunication but just a flat lie. Terrible service, quality has suffered since new ownership. read more

I used to love this place, but the waitress was so RUDE and slow today. My friend and I were the first people in, but never received our drinks. But the three parties that came in after us--all had drinks. I had actually to get up and ask for our drinks to which the waitress then made excuses and had a nasty attitude the rest of the meal. Unacceptable. Terrible service. Mediocre food. Gelatinous pad thai. Not. Good. read more

The worst experience ever, the worst customer service we ever had in a place, so disappointed. If you have a complaint or problem with a dish, you are in trouble, they get angry and will not take anything back even if they get it wrong. read more

Wow this place is my fave for thai food. The sizzling beef is just ridiculously bomb! The service is also great, not to mention the proportions are also great. Hope this helps ppl. read more

Sadly this place is no longer good. I have regularly saladang since the nineties. I have noticed recently that the place is no longer busy. They probably changed their chef or owner because the dishes don't taste good anymore. Also you notice small changes such as the home made candy they bring to you when you ask for the bill. That has been replaced with a regular candy. If you were a regular you noticed that this place is no longer the best Thai place it was decades ago. read more

Saladang used to be my favorite Thai restaurant in Pasadena. It used to be everybody's favorite Thai restaurant in Pasadena. This is the second time I've eaten there since the old owners sold, and the second time I've been disappointed. I feel like the quality has gone downhill. They were supposed to be keeping the same chef and staff, and the same menu, and yet they are changing the recipes and not for the better. And did I mention that they've jacked up the prices? My first visit since their son, my mechanic, told me the devastating news of the sale, my fried calamari appetizer, one of their best, was greasy. The green curry, one of their best, was no longer extra creamy. Tonight, I saw more menu changes and more recipe changes even with the same menu items. Sizzling beef. Used to be large slices of beef with a little bowl of peanut sauce on the side and cold cucumber on the side. Tonight it was a mush of small chunks of beef, cucumbers, celery, and peanut sauce all mixed together. And the waitress had the nerve to tell me she's worked there for ten years and that's the way it's always been! And my wonton soup, which used to have large wontons and large slices of pork, now has teeny wontons and small pieces of pork. I should've sent it back, and if I eat there again, I will start sending the food back to send them the message that their changes are unacceptable. I never write reviews; I don't have time to be bothered. But I'm hoping the new owner takes a look at how many people are writing bad reviews of what used to be a 4 1/2 star restaurant and takes the hint. The restaurant is still full and busy, but at this rate, not for long! I will start looking for a new favorite Thai restaurant in Pasadena or--better yet--I'll drive over to LA to one of the old owners' other restaurants. read more

Before I do my unfortunately 1st review it appears for Saladang, let me just say that prior to this experience I would easily have rated it (5stars) My family and I have been coming to Saladang for 15 yrs. Loyal. Always our default when we want something delicious! So, as usual, my sis and i decided to head over after some shopping. We hadnt been since Aug and were craving the consistent flavors we know so well. Unfortunately we figured almost immediately that things had changed. The menu, the tv's, the food... eating light, we ordered our staples, pad thai(to go), yellow curry chix, catfish filet, brown rice, thai ice tea and something new which i cant remember its name. For starters Im a Saladang yellow curry connosieur. I think it was my favorite dish in the world! Just putting the spoon in the curry was obvious that something was wrong. Very watery... I went ahead only to find no flavor, few potatoes n carrots and chicken not as tender. I wanted to be hopeful so I tried, but just couldnt eat it. Because we had already sent back the filet that was not cooked in the middle and they kindly took it off of the bill at our request because our stomaches wouldnt dare try it again, we just left the curry and worked on the new dish. We didnt like that either but had nothing to compare it to to know if it was awful or not.. it was at least edible... we ate it. We told them we didnt need the leftover curry and because there was so much, they asked why and we were honest about the whole meal. I suppose to keep from taking another item off of the bill they offered to remake the curry to go. We went with it.They know us, our family has always come at least likely 10 times a year. We asked if they had a new cook and they said "no" but it was clear something was going on. The thai iced tea was great! We chalked it up as a loss and left hungry and disappointed... We gave the curry and pad thai to 3 of our family members without discussing the experience. They next day I checked in.. my daughter said "was that from Saladang???" Can you say unrecognizable! All felt like the food was bad. After that we knew we could sadly no longer return. So long Saladang.. we wont be back after that disaster until I stumble upon an article that suggest youre back to being your original selves. Because I dont know who you are right now! Until then, we will miss you. All of you. The food and the staff. Thanks for the memories! read more

Love this place - The Apple salad is the best! They should bring back the tiny little ice creams.

Terrible, food was not very good and service was even worst. I'm a 50 something year old women not very fussy about what I eat plenty of money, only reason for bad review was terrible food. read more

This used to be my favorite Thai restaurant in the Pasadena area. Had not been since last summer and went today for a late lunch. Menu change should have been the clue it had sold to new owners. I asked the waiter and he said yes it had, last October. The food was AWFUL!!!!!!!! Poor quality ingredients and preparation............just AWFUL!! Don't waste your money..............lots of great restaurants in Pasadena and this is definitely not one of them!!!! read more

I haven't been here in quite some time since Saladang Song opened-- and much of the reason has to do with the fact that as the smaller of the two restaurants, Saladang tends to be more crowded as the seating is limited and I just wind up going next door. But isn't the best indicator of restaurant quality the length of its waiting list anyhow? I reason that the food is slightly better at Saladang, in my opinion, than its hipper sister. But it's less of a nuisance to go next door and patron Saladang Song. So... long story short.... Saladang Song for ambience-- lovely terrace outdoors and atmosphere, but if you're willing to deal with the wait and the bad acoustics that make it seem like there are screaming children everywhere, I'd definitely recommend Saladang for the food. In terms of good Thai food, you can't go wrong with either. read more

I've been coming here for years and the food and service have always been great. Unfortunately this time around, I had a different experience. My co-worker and I waited over an hour to get our food. After we realized that several parties that had gotten to the restaurant after us were already eating, we let one of the waitresses know we had been waiting for a very long time. She came back to tell us our food was almost ready. 20 minutes went by and the waitress who originally placed our order came to our table and said she had forgotten to place our order but she had just submitted it?! I would have understood if she would have recognized her mistake or if the restaurant was busy and she was the only waitress, but that wasn't the case. The restaurant wasn't busy, she tried to cover up her mistake and acted like it was no big deal. After we told her we had been waiting for a long time and we were on our lunch break, all she said was, "sorry, about that, I will check on your meal". Really?! That's it?! Makes me wonder now why the restaurant isn't as busy as I remember it. Bad customer service! Sincerely, very disappointed customer. read more

This place caters mainly to Caucasians.The food was very blend and had not much spice as Thai food should. The ambiance and decor was modern. We had to ask for chopsticks. As for the restrooms: you may want to go to toilet before entering this place. They only have one restroom for women so there is always a line. If you want 'authentic' Thai food, go to Thai town in Hollywood. Ah..and the price was as expected... read more

my bf and i were in the mood for thai food...so we came to saladang. he's been here many times before and i've been here once or twice before. it's a decent thai restaurant...the food is just normal thai food, but the restaurant itself is a real restaurant (and not a ghetto thai restaurant). it's actually really nice. we got the beef pad see ew, chicken curry fried rice, and green beans. the beef pad see ew was good...tasted like any other pad see ew i've had. the beef were huge strips and some of them were kind of dry...but it's what i expected. the chicken curry fried rice was really good!!! i would get this again! i was very hesitant to get it at first because i wanted to play it safe with regular fried rice but the bf wanted to try it. it is basically fried rice, but they put like a curry spice on it to give it a hint of curry. the curry wasn't overwhelming at all! it was basically a really good fried rice with a curry kick! i really liked it. they put tomato halves, onions, jalepenos in it too! last, the green beans were a little bit of a disappointment...i dont think they cooked it all the way (or maybe they undercook it all the time?) but the green beans were REALLY crunchy because it was so undone. i was debating if we should ask them to recook it. it's in an oyster sauce with garlic but because they didnt cook it all the way, the green beans barely soaked in any of the sauce.... i would definitely tell them to cook the green beans longer next time. overall, i would go again. the price of the thai food is good and like any other thai place...but this place is better because it's a nice restaurant. read more

Don't waste your time at the new and NOT improved Saladang. Came back to town after a couple months and they had changed ownership. Everything has changed (not in a good way)from the food, the candy, desserts, etc. It is very saddening because I used to frequent this place at least once a week. From now on I will be taking my business to Daisy Mint which is now better than this place, and it is just 5 minutes away. Goodbye to the good old Saladang read more

Owner and staff are horribly rude. We went in to get some thai iced tea after a record hot day in Pasadena and they refused to serve us since we didn't want any food. I was a regular cusotmer too, no more! read more

They didn't even check on me once to refill my water or to see if I needed anything. I literally had to get up from my seat to get someone to pay attention. I never leave reviews btw the food was good though. read more

The place is nice and big. However, the food is moderate and I do not really enjoy my meal there. There are definitely a lot of different thai place with better and flavorful foods. Don't worry even though the place looks really nice, the price is not bad. read more

Has gone downhill unfortunately. Food quality still pretty good, but portion sizes are getting smaller and service isn't as stellar as it used to be. read more

Just ordered the yellow curry.so so set this place as businesses gone downhill. I normally order fried rice as a side today I was told that I couldn't and I would have to pay an extra $9 .I was so angry, my mind and my mouth were already set. the girl up front with the long hair and nose ring was so rude.... i hope and pray my stop back to this place was worth it read more

Really enjoyed our dinner here. Nice ambience, fast and efficient service, tasty food (with vegan adaptations). This was a solid find, will be back. read more

Used to come here often and loved it. Now, since the new ownership, everything is terrible. Food is not authentic and prices are way high. Don't come here anymore, go somewhere else! read more

It really has a trendy vibe but it's laid back at the same time. Sometimes trendy means terrible food but this is my new favorite place for thai food. sizzling beef and pad thai were my favorite. read more

i like this place a lot. its a great place for a quick fix if you're thinking of thai. friendly servers, solid food, and several good appetizers like the chicken dumplings (ground chicken ... quite delicious) they have nice servers. saladang song has bitchy servers who can remove the three foot poles shoved up their asses. read more

Outstanding food and friendly service. Favorite Thai restaurant. Nice big, modern restaurant. Easy parking.

this is the 2nd time i came here ... and BOTH times, i was very insulted ... VERY! this is NOT authentic thai food ... or it didn't seem like it. HORRIBLE SERVICE & AWFUL FOOD! BOTH times, the server screwed up on our order, bringing out a dish that we didn't order, and then, when we told her what we ordered, not only did she NOT apologize, she insisted that we ordered it...uh, hello? then, it took a good hour to bring out the food. and then, when the tab came out, she charged us for something we didn't order, which took another 15 minutes to dispute. don't let the exterior fool you. parkin can be crazy. i wouldn't recommend this place to ANYONE. PERIOD. what an awful night. you would THINK that the first time around, the girl was retarded or sumting, but 2x? come ON... read more

Saladang is the best Thai food I have ever had . I try other Thai restaurants fairly often , and none have come close. I grew up eating here quite often and continue to do so. Really haven't ever been disappointed, 10/10 for me. About time I left a review ! read more

the thai food here was pretty good, but definitely did not live up to the hype.

I'm not sure if it's original Thai food or not, but I liked its food. Staffs were not friendly at all, so I want to give one star but I guess this restaurant deserves 3 stars because of food. And there's a sister restaurant across the street. read more

Consistently good. Good service. My favorite is the Panang Salmon Curry - in a red curry sauce. It's not on the menu but you can request it (they get it from Saladang Song, their other restaurant across the parking lot). The satay is also good. Most of the lunch specials are also pretty decent. read more

Good service, good place for family. Pad thai was good.

went here again last week. the beef panang was awesome. it could have been a little spicier. the beef sate was the best i have ever had. so tender and juicy. some of the people that work there kinda have an attitude which i dont like. i wanted yellow curry with all white meat. she said they cant do that. well, i dont like dark meat. that sucked. i love that dang is still there making sure the food quality is up to her standards. i guess for yellow curry i will go to chan dara :) also i ordered the special pineapple fried rice. different from what i thought it would be. it was fried rice with shrimp, dark meat chicken (yeck) and had curry in it. if you want the best fried rice you have ever had go to benehana's read more

Tonight, went to order take out, fried rice and pad Thai noodles. The order came out, but had to ask for extra bean sprouts... The lady who took order wasn't all too happy about that, she said that I should have asked for them before the order came out telling me that her kitchen staff would not be happy with that.. And she said I have to wait for it, which I told her that I don't mind... You get the picture? I was really pissed off. But decided to keep cool. As it's obvious these people have no concept of customer service for paying customer. Been here few times dining in, as my wife likes Thai food, but people serving here never smile serving MSG drenched and overrated food. I remember the lady told me to ask for extra stuff first not after when I order take out next time. I did not say to her face, but I can tell you all that there would no next time as I will never set foot on this establishment that is grossly overrated, and rude to say the least. read more

My favorite Thai place in Pasadena. Every time I bring someone new here, they love it too. It's quick, it's easy, fast and yummy. The staff is great and very accommodating to large groups. read more
