Very impressed! I ordered on Yelp which went through GrubHub. I could check the order status on Yelp, which is pretty cool. My food was very good and fresh! The veggies still had a little crunch to them which is great. I asked for level 4 spice and boy ol' boy, my sinuses are now clear! I ordered chicken and added shrimp. I feel like I received a good amount of meat. My only complaint is my rice was very mushy and I'm sure it's because of the plastic container and drive time. I will stir fry the leftovers. Nice quantity of food for the price. read more

I've heard so much about this place and how it's the best Thai in the area. I love food and can look past the old building and love a good hole in the wall type of place. Finally had a chance to get some takeout. Everyone I was in contact with was super nice. But this "meal" was $45. I ordered 2 things for pick up and spent that much money. Don't get me wrong there are places I'd go back to for that amount but they were blow my mind amazing meals (even as takeout). These were, okay. Typical Thai takeout, nothing to say it was "the best". So while the food was good it was not $20 per item good. There Chili paste was pretty generic as well, definitely not homemade. So if you're looking for regular Thai food, and don't care about price, this place will help a craving but not worth going out of your way for. read more

Sala Thai Cuisine - Thai fried Rice with vegetables & Crab Rangoon lunch special - Thai Near Me - Belleville, Illinois

They are "managing" under the current situation. We got pick-up last Tuesday and it was just a bit off. Not bad, but not worth the $40 for 2 appetizers and 2 entrees (which it usually is, so not complaining about price). A bit less well constructed, a bit less flavorful, a bit less "fresh". I understand the shortcuts that businesses are likely having to take to stay afloat. We will go again I'm sure, but give them some time to get back to normal quality level. read more

Hidden gem. Never disappoints. I usually go for the chicken cashew dish. Food is always fresh and quick.

Fast & delicious! We had the pad Thai & general tso. We will definitely be back! I cannot wait to explore more of their menu.

My husband and I frequented here for lunch when we lived near Belleville. They have a great lunch deal and the food is always delicious and consistent. Probably the best Thai food in all of Belleville area! read more

The parking is a bit small and there aren't many spots but the restaurant is not bad. It is located in a small town area that you wouldn't expect to have the most amazing Thai food. The seating is a bit awkward and they didn't seem to have that many customers. I ordered Tom Yum Soup, which was pretty good surprisingly. There were some typos on the menu and it made me laugh. If you are in this area visiting or live here and craving Thai food, it is not a bad option. read more

Sala Thai Cuisine - Tom Yum Soup - Thai Near Me - Belleville, Illinois

Hidden gem!!! I tried their cashew chicken based on another visitor's review on Google and I also tried their Tom Kha Gai soup with chicken made with coconut milk. Both were so amazing! Everything sounded great. I rarely try new things, or I keep at least one item as what I know I like. Both the entree and the soup were new to me and equally full of flavor, a delightful place to find. The spice range is 1-4. I love Frank's Hot Sauce and jalapeños. My waitress said I'm a 2. She was right on. Hot enough to clear my sinuses and throughly heat me up on the inside, but not hot enough to make my eyes tear up. Perfect heat. For my kids, I'd keep it a zero. I'm already planning a Mommy Daughter date with my middle kid who loves Siamese food as much as I do. ~ Ana read more

I first tried pad see ewe, when I was in San Antonio. This is the first place on this side of the river that has pad see ewe. Even more odd, is the fact that this is the first time that I have been here. I have been taking the boyfriend to try new places, since he moved to the area. The inside of the restaurant probably needs some updating. So, if you are the prissy type you will have to get past the aged building. The building has been there longer than I have been alive. we will be back, considering that we live around the corner. read more

Fast service and great food!! I am not from the area but have eaten here twice while passing through. Once 'in house' but this time placed a 'to go' order. Usually prefer dining in b/c often restaurants give less when you choose take out but i was plenty surprised by the nice big portions!! I personally believe that is how things should be done when the prices are the same for dining in or take out. Thank you for doing right by your customers :-) read more

This is our favorite Thai restaurant! The food is delicious! it is fresh and full of flavor!

This is by far the best thai place I have eaten at in the Belleville area. I read the reviews from fellow yelpers and decided to try the pad thai. It was AMAZING! The flavor is a sweet flavor if that is what you like. The server did not ask me how spicy i wanted it and i forgot to tell her. Usually, I get mild, next time i will try it with mild to give it that extra kick. If you want the peanuts you will have to ask for them. I also tried the crab rangoon as an appetizer and they had great flavor, although lacking the crab part. This place is good for kids, they have plenty of high chairs. There is also plenty of seating in what looks like a small hole in the wall type place. The decor is very thai and it seems that they have a thai festival there every year according to the flier on their door. The service was great, I went on a weeknight around 8pm and there was only one table in there with me. I would definitely reccommend and will go back as soon as I am craving thai to try other things and will keep everyone updated on my new flavorful fillings. read more

Finally tried Sala Thai. The drunken noodles were delicious. Spicy but not overwhelming. The flavors shined through and permeated the protein(chicken) and the noodles. It was also a large portion. Good value. read more

This is my favorite Thai Restaurant. The Pad Thai is fantastic best in the area in my opinion and the portions are huge. I also love the Panang Curry. I asked for extra vegetables and they gave me a great selection of green and red peppers mushrooms and broccoli. Egg rolls are great also. They have a drive thru for easy pickup. Love this place!! read more

I'm only rating my takeout experience so can't speak to in house dining. Food was ready in the 20 minutes promised. Staff was polite and quick to serve upon my entry. Fried dumplings were devoured by my kids. I didn't get one but according to them they were amazing. So if their target audience is kids 11 and under they hit it! Tom Yum soup was ok. The soup had a good initial taste but there was a lingering sourness that was a bit off putting. Pad Kee Mao was very tasty. Good flavor of salty and sweet with a. Bit of heat. Noodles were al dente so they would not fall apart. Pork was nicely cooked, tender and juicy. Would recommend this dish again. Wife got pad Thai. This was just ok. A little oily and not as much flavor as other versions i have had, but still a good fix on Thai food. Kids got chicken fried rice and noodles too. They liked them all. Not many Thai places in Belleville to choose from and I would not turn down food from here, but i have to judge it from all the places i have been to across the Midwest. read more

Consistently provides excellent food! Hot, well packaged carry out through their drive thru window. Good range of spice & heat. This family owned restaurant is a local treasure. read more

Wish they were back open for dine in and not just carry out. Always better to eat inside the restaurant than to have to take it home. Better experience. read more

Sala Thai is my hands down favorite Thai restaurant and a must visit place when I am home for the holidays. The food is fresh, delicious and perfectly flavored. Apple and her staff are friendly, and always take great care of us. We love her second location Arroy Thai too. Highly recommend you check it out if you are in the mood for authentic Thai. read more

Meh. My biggest gripe with this place is the portion size and stinginess of sides. When I ordered the pad Thai with tofu and vegetables it I only got 5-6 pieces of tofu and a few different pieces of mushroom, carrot, and broccoli. The service is always attentive, but there are better options in the area. For a change of pace try it out, but really nothing here worth bragging about from the dishes I've tried. read more

Good food, its my go to Thai food place, but today the service was BAD, the waitress she had an attitude, you suppose to be nice to work in this industry, she want me to pay $1 for a lemon, when I ask for it for my Pad Thai, I said no, instead she brought me 4 small slices of it. Then at the end, she didn't ask if we want something else just passed the check!!! Never back again, sorry but you lost a regular client. One more thing, it doesn't matter what level of spiciness you ask (1-4), they always give to me a 1. read more

Food is always fresh & delicious! Sometimes I just get apps for my meal. The fried wontons are amazing! I love everything I have ever had there. read more

Of the seven Thai restaurants in St. Clair and Monroe counties, I believe SalaThai is a very close second to Thai House in Columbia. The reason for that? It's a bit more expensive, but the food is almost as good. I am enough of a regular that they call me "Mr. Roger" when I come in for a meal. As others as pointed out, it is next door to a run-down strip mall. Don't let that put you off. The lunch crowd normally includes folks from nearby Scott Air Force Base. My experience in the metro-east is that folks stationed at Scott tend to pick chain restaurants over locally owned ones, so I think that's an endorsement of sorts. The interior of SalaThai is much nicer than the exterior, and I've always received good service. The large dining room is very capable of handling groups of 20 or more. My bicycle club regularly holds winter events at SalaThai, and most people are happy about it. read more

I couldn't believe there wasn't a review for Thip's Thai! Of course, it IS in Belleville...perhaps Belleville residents haven't discovered Yelp yet. Poor souls. I worked in Belleville for 9 months, and once I discovered Thip's (about 3 months in) I went at least once a week for their lunch specials which are affordable at $7-$8. Lunch specials come with 2 crab rangoon or one spring roll. Go with the spring roll. It comes with a delicious red dipping sauce. Their Pad Thai is the most distinctive - they don't use tomato paste like most other pad thai's, and it is fairly sweet. The chicken is top quality - no gristle. My friends also raved about the yellow curry. The venue isn't much to write home about - it has the appearance of a doublewide trailer-made-restaurant. But the service is top notch, and the owners are some of the sweetest people you'll ever meet. When it came time for me to leave the area, they presented me with an employee polo with the Thip's logo on it. :) read more

We had four dinners ordered on June 13, 2022. The service was fast and friendly when we picked up. The food is good not real spicey but good flavor. The reason I did not give a five is because their menu isn't quite clear. My hub had the M16 which has the term "Pad" in it so we assumed fried noodles were with it, but you need to add those as a side. The dishes like red curry do not come with rice like most places so you must add sides to them. Just ask when you are ordering because they are very nice and friendly. I asked for "Thai hot" because I heard the food wasn't very hot and it was fine but not very hot. Overall good place that we would use again but order wisely. read more

Family-run restaurant from top-to-bottom. Had the Green Curry for dinner and spouse had Pad See Eew. Both were excellent ($10-11). The Curry was marked as spicy and it was - but not unbearably so for my palette. We shared a very special moment there, as my spouse got a job offer via phone during our meal. The owners extended great hospitality and fixed a yummy desert while she called family and friends. read more

Wow.....what a surprise this place was. Yelp lead me to it for lunch last week. I almost didn't pull in due to the outside appearance. It isn't bad looking, but it does appear to be a house that has been converted into this establishment. I cannot remember the name, but I am pretty sure it was #11. Them dish came with 2 crab ragoons (they were so-so), steamed rice, and the awesome entree (@heat level 3). It was excellent! Portions were good, as was the service. Imwill definitely be returning. read more

I've been coming here since they opened and the food had always been great. The lunch specials are always good. They hold their own against any restaurant on South Grand. Highly recommended. read more

Love this place! We eat here quiet often. I love the green curry chicken. You can tell them how hot you want it or not spicy at all. My husband gets their pad Thai and that is delicious, as well. No matter what you get, you will be pleased. read more

Great little place in Belleville. Don't see many Asian places on the east side, and if you do they are awful. This place is the real deal. They even carry Tiger beer. The food is fresh and authentic you can't go wrong. read more

This place has great Thai food. I recommend the pad Thai, it's really good! Also try the Thai ice tea, amazing! read more

Sala Thai Cuisine - Thai ice tea w/ whipped cream on top. - Thai Near Me - Belleville, Illinois

As a regular at Sala Thai, I really appreciate having them in our neighborhood. I love Thai food, and I love to cook it. But when I'm not in the mood to cook, or there's a dish that's beyond my abilities, I know I can go to Sala and get a great meal! Their food is fresh, service is good, and their prices are reasonable. I don't want to repeat what everyone else has said, but I do want to recommend the Pad Roum Mit. It's chock full of vegetables (carrots, green beans, sprouts, and broccoli to name a few) and comes with plenty of meat. I recommend getting it as a lunch special! I also enjoy their wonton soup (it's a big bowl of it!) and Pad See Ew (wide noodle stir fried with broccoli). read more

Sala Thai is a newer Belleville establishment, meaning it is less than ten-years-old. In a town whose residents aren't quick to embrace new places, I'm so glad this joint has stuck around. It used to be called Thip's Thai, but despite the new name, this is still the best place to go for Thai food in all of Belleville and it just may take in more territory than that. I love so many things about this place; it's hard to narrow it down to just one. One of the many things I love about Sala Thai is the ambiance. It's decorated beautifully, peaceful and clean. Another thing is the selection; I always find something new and tasty. Still another great thing is that guests can control how much spice they would like from just a tingle to flame-throwing goodness. And, above all, at Sala Thai you can get great Thai food for reasonable prices. read more

This is my favorite Asian restaurant in the Metro East, by far. The atmosphere is great, the food is amazing AND well priced! And the servers are polite and attentive. If you go, be prepared for a treat. They have great Thai food and cuisine from several other Asian countries. My two favorites are the Kang Ka-Ree and the Pad Roum Mint. One last thing, be brave enough to try the Thai iced tea. It's an amazing spiced cream tea. Absolutely delightful. read more

This is my favorite Thai place. I love the Kang Karee curry, Pad Thai, and Crab Rangoon. It's small and typically not crowded, which is a plus too! read more

This is my favorite thai restuarant. A friend took me to this restaurant earlier this year. I fell in love with them. My favorite entree 's are pad thai, pad sew eew, thai fried rice, and spring rolls. I have been to Thai House and Aroy Thai. I would say they are all good. I like the staff and quiet atmosphere of Sala Thai. read more
