Food is very yummy!!! Service is always great!!! Been there many of times and will continue to go back!

First Time Visit. Ordered lump crab stir fry to go. Looked like there was something white and crumbly on top of the fried rice. Turns out it was the "lump" crabmeat. Disappointing, especially when this is supposed to be the best Thai restaurant downtown. ​ read more

My boyfriend lives in the apartment building right next-door so we obviously had to try it the weekend he moved in. It was really good! We got chicken in garlic sauce with rice and pad see ew. Both were really yummy. I would definitely order from here again and I'm excited to try other dishes. You just can't beat the convenience of this location! read more

We were visiting Lancaster and craved Thai food. We were not disappointed! My son had Pad Thai with chicken and I ordered green curry rice with beef. Both were very tasty and the service was fast and friendly. My only negatives are the ambiance is not great and no alcohol on the menu. Highly recommend! read more

The best Asian Food in Lancaster, hands down. I usually get Pork Se Ew, which features a wide noodle that is absolutely delicious, broccoli, carrots, and tender pork. Service is friendly, prices are more than fair, BYOB. Nice appetizer selections and a varied menu. Older building, but a nice quiet place to eat. Not a scene by any stretch, but if you're there for the food, you'll be happy. read more

The duck tamarind was superb, crispy and delicate! The curries are the best I have tried in Penn or NJ!

It was my first time at the restaurant, and the area was unfamiliar to me as well. I found it by chance. The interior was a bit dark for my liking, and the decor wasn't particularly fancy, so honestly, I didn't have high expectations. Food- The food was fresh, delicious, and the portion size was just right. There are some restaurants where the noodles stick together, but this place didn't have that issue. Amazing!!! Service- The service at the restaurant was friendly, but the person clearing the table seemed to be in a bit of a hurry. I will definitely visit this restaurant more often in the future. read more

Amazing currie and the Chu-chee duck crispy and tender. Service was perfect. I'll be back!!

I'll keep this review short. The service was great and all of the workers were extremely friendly. The issue is the food. It's bland. Little to no flavor at all. Depending on what you order the pricing seems a little high when it comes to portion size. Nice ambience, dimly lit. But the food could definitely use some adjustments. read more

Omg! We found our go to Thai spot in Lancaster! Service was excellent! Food was excellent! Everything was good. Green Thai curry with chicken was amazing. It was perfectly spicy for us, with lots of chicken and vegetables. Had Thai with Chez who is also very good. Track in the house with awesome arrogance. Thai iced tea was delicious too. Will definitely be back! read more

We tried to eat here last night and had a hugely disappointing experience. We were sat promptly, waited maybe 15 minutes for someone to take our order, then waited over an hour for our food. Other tables that came in after us kept getting food, but not us. No one came to explain or even offer to refresh drinks. Of course, when we finally got up to leave, they told us that our food was being made. It was too late to salvage the terrible experience. We left and will not ever be back. Why would we reward a restaurant with terrible service and attitude with our money? read more

We've been here twice and they were consistently excellent. Family owned family friendly, we will definitely be back! read more

Got the take out. In a pinch this place satisfied every square inch of my cravings. Holy moly, if you got a hankering for some Thai food to satiate your slurred desires, get some food from Sa La Thai. Fast delivery. read more

One of my friends was having a series craving for Thai food. She moved to this area about a year ago and haven't found "the" Thai place that will become a regular spot... until now. The food here is excellent and comparable to what we ate when we were in Thailand. Coconut and lemongrass soups were delicious as were the appetizers and main courses (which included crab Rangoon, steamed chicken dumplings, cabbage salad, drunken noodle, shrimp stirfry and green curry). There are a ton of gluten-free options on the menu and several that can be made gluten-free. The lunch special is an incredibly good deal. Service is great... super fast and very friendly. They are so excited to have a go-to Thai place now. My friend with the Thai cravings literally couldn't stop talking about this place last night. read more

Best Thai in the city. I constantly crave the drunken elephant! The spice is perfect.

Great Thai food, I don't think anyplace nearby has Thai like I always had in NY but this place is good. Not sure why I can never seem to get the Green Papaya Salad but I am crazy about the tamarind duck. read more

Today I have been craving Thai food. I decided that I wanted a thick, sweet and salty Phanaeng chicken curry and Sa La Thai restaurant delivers a great tasting dish. The vegetables were perfectly cooked. The green beans and carrots had an external softness and the middle a nice crunch. Again, perfectly cooked. The rice was also cooked to perfection. I ordered the mild spicy option and was warned that it was a bit hot. My pallet does not favor spicy food, but I did order the Thai Iced to to bring the heat down. The tea has a very strong flavorful sweet tea leaf flavor. I would encourage you to order one as soon as you come in. As you enter you are warmly greeted by staff and the music that is not too loud and slows for conversation. The tables and floor are extremely clean, not like other places where your elbows stick to the tablecloth. If you are ever in the Lancaster area and Thai food is what you desire, stop on by Sa La Thai restaurant and let them take care of you. I don't usually give 5 stars but I had to for this find. A big thank you to the cook and staff at Sa La Thai restaurant. read more

Came in this place and is empty and I thought the place was closed at first. I asked for the menu so I can show my wife that was in the car with the kids. They got scared, thinking I'm going to steal their menu or something and told me to take the take out menu instead. I told them the take out menu look different and my car is outside in front of their store front. So they got trust issue and that's a sign for me to go somewhere else! read more

My family had the privilege of eating here at this lovely restaurant while on a vacation to the area. I want to say, first of all, that I was so appreciative of their sensitivity and careful posture to a severe food allergy in my family. They clearly think about this and prepare well for celiac and gluten free needs. Alongside that very important detail - the food and service were also really good!! I was impressed by their attention and thoughtfulness especially since we were the only family with kids for the whole lunch. We'll be back in the area and this is a must when we're in town. read more

The service started well but after receiving our food they must of ran out of water because it was hard to come by. This restaurant has great ambience...if it notched up its food quality...it could be a gem. To some degree you can judge a great Thai restaurant by ordering two standard dishes...pad Thai and papaya salad. The papaya salad looked appealing but was BLAND and lacked the perfect zeal of lime juice/fish sauce/garlic/thai chilies...a bummin' bummer! The pad Thai was quick to the table and maybe too quick...as the noodles were undercooked and shrimp a little gooey. If you enjoy your pad Thai as a spaghetti with a faint tamarind sauce punctuated by yellow onions (not scallions) accompanied by old bean sprouts (without crumbled peanuts) you are in luck! The yellow onions were strong and overwhelmed the dish. 4/5 atmosphere 3/5 service 2/5 food quality read more

From New York City and there's Thai joints all over the place, some are better than others. I hadn't eaten anything at all today (and when people say that they usually mean they ate very little during the day, but I only had water the entire day.) So maybe that's why I loved it so much? But I liked it a lot. I liked the big potions of tofu (I know right?) that were served with dinner. I got pad see eww and my date got chicken pad Thai, which we shared. I'm not a huge fan of the restaurant's name (Sa La Thai) but that's kinda silly; It'd be sad if someone said they wouldn't eat with me because my name is Brent so that's not fair, right? So let's put a pin in that. At one point during the night we laughed because the waiter's son (maybe connected with the owners?) had black nail polish on and I noticed it when he filled up my water. I made a comment about how goth he was and then asked for more soy sauce. Haha I'll definitely come back and next time I'll bring my daughter (14). I asked how long the place has been open and she told me 12 years, so that's telling -Places with crappy food/service don't usually last 12 years and counting, so... try this place out and give these people your money. By the way, we both ate and had leftovers and only spent $30 for dinner. Very reasonable. In New York that same dinner would be close to $100 bucks. read more

Khao SOI is a northern Thailand specialty and it's normally not in regular Thai restaurant menu and glad I found here. It's not on the lunch menu The Khao SOI here has similar taste as the one I had in chiang mai. The portion looks small but it's very filling. It's good to the last drop. I' D come back here for sure. read more

We ordered Indonesian Noodles - Very well prepared and flavorful. Only recommendation - they should add less onions and carrot and increase on Tofu and other vegetables. Chicken quantity was OK. Thai Garlic with tofu and vegetables - I asked them to make the dish at level 5 (challenged chef to make it very spicy ) and they dod accept the challenge. I am impressed. Lots of flavors and very delicious! read more

This Thai restaurant is a hidden gem! Wander down Queen St and you will find this fabulous restaurant. It's cozy and quaint with a friendly staff. The food is hot, delicious and served beautifully. There lunch special includes soup, appetizer and entree. The Golden bags are perfection, crispy(not oily) served with a plum sauce. The spring rolls are also crispy, served with a sweet chili sauce. The Thai eggplant and the drunken noodles were full of fresh, stir fried veggies. The chicken was cooked very well. Don't get me started on the coconut ice cream sticky rice! It is a homemade coconut ice cream served over my favorite warm sticky rice. It is the perfect blend of sweet, salty, buttery creaminess. I don't care how full I am, this is the absolute best ending to the meal. Highly recommend! read more

COVID-19 review: We were in Lancaster for a family medical emergency and looking for a restaurant nearby with curbside take out on a Monday night May 11. After trying another Thai place and a Greek place and finding they were both closed we finally found Sa La Thai's online ordering. We placed a large order for 4 adults. Nothing was forgotten in our order & plastic utensils were included which was appreciated. Their fresh rolls were great, we would have loved a peanut dipping sauce. The entrees were all good except my eggplant dish was not spicy enough, but no biggie. We are giving all restaurants the benefit of the doubt during these challenging times. The coconut soup was excellent and everyone else enjoyed their entrees. We would definitely order take out or eat in here again once that is allowed. read more

I've been here twice now. I know I should try more restaurants in Lancaster. It's so exciting to explore a new city, but it is so hard when perfect Thai food is right here. This family place has the most adorable apprentice crew, and you really feel like you're visiting old friends here. By the way, it's the perfect place to meet old friends. I can't recommend anything because it's all good. read more

Great service and ambiance very nice family run restaurant . Authentic Thai food. My daughter loved her pad thai and my husband loved his sweet sausage fried rice and I had green curry.

Highly recommend Sa La Thai as not only the best Thai food in Lancaster but as a great source for catering/take-out, as well.I recently used Sa La Thai for my daughters bridal shower, since it is one of her favorite restaurants in Lancaster. Lindsay at Sa La Thai was excellent, detailed and went above and beyond to keep our downsized bridal shower guests safe and distanced by packing all side dishes individually into 30 small containers. Rave reviews by all our guests for the chicken satay skewers and peanut sauce (which is the best I've ever had!). Definitely a 10/10 experience with Sa La Thai! read more

While not the best Thai I've had it was full of flavor and not bad for Lancaster County. The evening starting with an appetiser of calamari which was a little heavy on the egg taste in the batter. However the sweet tangy dipping sauce was exquisite, it was not overly sweet which is often a danger with sauces of this type. For the main entree I choose the Indonesian Noodle dish with mock duck. I choose the mock duck out of pure curiosity. It really was not bad once I got past the texture. The over all dish was really quite good and the plating was nicely done. The vegetables were fresh and crisp while the peanut flavor did not overwhelm the dish. We will definitely be going back. The restaurant is BYOB which is convenient because the state store is one block south. The atmosphere is very nice and the serving staff is very attentive. You will certainly not be disappointed. read more

A former Italian social club. Food is excellent and service is just right. We had summer rolls and a deep fried golden sack. Of course it was great. The soup is just right. I had Lemongrass and it was just spicy enough. My partner had Coconut soup and boy it was perfect. Our entrees came out just right. Excellent service is hard to come by- but not here! By the way. Please read signage that is in window in front. LGB. read more
