This was our first time here and we absolutely loved it! Ordered Spicy Basil Fried rice (Level 4) and Panang Thai Curry (Level 3) and both were amazingly delicious! Spring rolls were very fresh and nice too. Would love to check out other items next time I'm here. The only item that wasn't to my liking was Thai Fish Cake. It was way too oily and felt like they had re-fried it and that created the extra layer oil. I would have actually given this place a 4.5* coz of my experience of the Fish cake. read more

Best Thai food in the valley! The people that work there are really nice and attentive. Food is made perfectly and there's hardly any waiting on seating. read more

I'm so disappointed that our favorite neighborhood Thai restaurant tasted unrecognizable and even unpalatable for some dishes. We got seafood tom yum, which was SUPER salty and lacked the nuanced sweetness and didn't have the fragrant lemongrass/galangal notes as usual. The chicken green curry was an almost neon, unnatural green and also really salty, without the balance of coconut and subtle sweetness. The pad Thai was the best dish, but also overly salty. The spicy noodles had a weird herby taste (too much celery?) The eggplant stir fry had delicious eggplant but the pork tasted stale. I'm so sad our $90 dinner will go to waste. We've never had this happen here, hope it was a bad night unless it's new ownership? read more

Sala Thai - Green curry- unsettlingly green - Thai Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I love this place, a great neighborhood restaurant. They have the best pineapple fried rice! And mango sticky rice. I typically pick up food To-go, and today when I came to pick up they told me the unfortunately it will be a little bit longer than expected, they not only sincerely apologized, and gave me a free tea. So sweet, thank you! I highly recommend! read more

After a few years of feeling like Sala Thai had lost its edge, it is nice to see that it is back! We ordered Pad Thai with chicken, yellow curry and egg rolls. Everything was flavorful, great quality, hot and delicious. We live in the neighborhood and had started to look for an alternative, but no more. Sala Thai will be our go to Thai restaurant. read more

The ambience was good and food was okay(not great ) but the customer service is really bad ,especially the short Thai guy taking orders is really bad and it looks like he is always in rush and wants you to leave as soon as possible ,he even bought the check without asking us read more

Doesn't look like much from the outside, in a small strip plaza. Inside is split into two and I would sit on the right side if possible. Food was good and better selection than other Thai places. Taste was just a bit above average but service was friendly. read more

So one of my favorite foods is a Thai beef salad known as Num Tok Neau, or sometimes Waterfall Beef Salad or Crying Tiger. Sala Thai is the only place I've found in the Phoenix area that makes it, and its very good! Perfect meal for these hot summer days! They also had a special showing for a Thai pho. I'll definitely have to try that once the weather is cooler. read more

Live in the area and have ordered takeout prob 4 times - place has consistently gone downhill and last time we will give it our business. Our last order was pitiful - size smaller again, chicken pad Thai had like 6 pieces of meat that was grisly odd shaped portions, chicken pate was dry and rubbery. It was very expensive too. read more

The quantity of food has significantly reduced! We have ordered from this restaurant before and the portions keep getting smaller.

Best Thai food in the Valley, I've eaten at a plethora of Thai restaurants and this blows them out of the water. Presentation was immaculate. They don't serve beer :( but the Thai iced tea was 10/10, Waitstaff took care of our 14 person party without issue. Definitely come here for a great experience!! read more

Ordered Take Out. The Papaya salad was delicious, little heavy on peanuts but would order again Pad Woon Sen - always a favorite. Only had 4 shrimp but flavor was nice Pad See Ew - I wish it was the homemade wide rice noodles, a little less flavorful than I like but still good. The bok choy was a pleasant addition Mango Sticky Rice - can't ever go wrong read more

This was a last minute decision to try. So glad we did the food is some of the best we have had in town. Family run very friendly

Delicious food, great prices, beautiful restaurant and the friendliest staff. Definitely a must!

(Im picky). The food which I ordered was delivered with a smile, and tasted really good. I got the pineapple fried rice, and the chicken satay which were very tasty. To top it off, I had a Thai tea, (which is my favorite from here) to complete my experience. I would recommend read more

Mus-Sa-Mun Curry was flavorful and a big portion. Service is good. Dining experience is casual and location is easy to access.

I cannot say anything about the food, but call ahead to make sure they are actually still serving food for the night. I arrived 45 minutes before their posted closing time, and the kitchen had already shut down for the night. read more

My wife and I come here occasionally. Food is generally good and the place is clean. When I paid my bill with Apple Pay there was a credit card fee of $2.56 added! Just wanted this info out there. Not happy that this info about a credit card fee is not told to the customer ahead of time.. read more

Sala Thai We stopped in to this spot on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. We were a bit concerned over the mixed reviews but decided to give it a try. My wife loves Thai food (I do not) so here's what she had and her thoughts. It's a small spot in a strip mall off 32nd st before Shea. The place appeared to be clean and the tables were ready to be used. The waitress told us to choose our own table / booth. The fish tank with fake plastic fish being pushed around by an electric motor circulating them an the water was different but no worries. We ordered in about 5-6 minutes and the food came out in less than 10 minutes. Coconut Chicken Soup My wife was very excited about this dish. It has coconut milk, tomatoes, chicken, onions, mushrooms, cilantro, basil, a hint of lime & spices. The chicken was well cooked and not rubbery. The dish is definitely big enough for 2. This tasted like home. There was no need to provide extra seasoning and was very good just like it came. She easily gave this a two thumbs up. Grade: A Veggie Thai Chow Mien Broccoli, carrots, cabbage, bok choi, noodles and seasoning. She didn't need to add salt or anything else. She ate it just like it came. Her words were, "the flavors are spread out so well." She loved this dish as well. Grade: A If you're looking for a very good Thai food restaurant and live in the area be sure to try this place. We will definitely be back (well... my wife will). read more

Very authentic Thai flavors and dishes! While returning from Thailand a few months ago, I had an urge to seek out a good Thai restaurant this weekend. This place hit the spot. There was no wait on a Thursday night and no reservation needed. Quick service and very friendly staff! I ordered three dishes: Crab Wontons, Thai Beef Salad, and Pad Kee Mow (Drunken Noodles). Crab Wontons were full of Crab Meat and some of the best I've had around! Carrots and a Special Peanut Sauce served with these. Ordered the Thai Beef Salad with a #4 Thai Chili Pepper Index Level and didn't disappoint. Great seasoning and Spices with Broccoli, Cucumber, and Peanuts mixed in. The Drunken Noodles were a #3 on the Thai Chili Pepper Scale. Perfect stir fry with mixed veggies and basil. I Highly Recommend this place if you are in the Paradise Valley/Phoenix area! read more

I hate to leave a negative review but I just have to be honest. My boyfriend and I came here for dinner. We love Thai food and we never really had bad experiences until we tried this place out. When we entered this place, the waitress escorted us to our table and she told us that they had a party of 15 so she wanted to make sure that we order the food before they do, which was very nice of her telling us about it so we didn't have to wait too long for our food. I looked at the menu and told my boyfriend that their price is definitely cheaper than other Thai restaurants we have gone so far. But what about their food? My boyfriend said, well... there's only one way to find out! Lol I ordered Pad Thai with beef, spicy level mild. My boyfriend ordered their Pineapple Fried Rice, same spicy level. When the food came to us, the first thing we noticed was the portion is smaller than other Thai restaurants. Maybe that's why their price is cheaper. I tried my food and I was surprised because it tasted so... weird? For real though, I don't know if that's because they use a thinner noodle for their Pad Thai but I did not like it. And I know I ordered mild for the spicy level but I couldn't taste any spicy whatsoever at all. My boyfriend tried the Pineapple fried rice. There was no pineapple, therefore, it did not taste like Pineapple fried rice supposed to be. We may come back to try other menu. I hope they can improve their food hopefully next time we will get a better experience. read more

Thai restaurants are always interesting because of the varying spice levels. First time trying any place, I try to go conservative because I don't want to necessarily ruin my meal with uber spice. Let me tell ya, this place does spice/heat right. Just the way I like it. My first time eating here, I got level 4 out of 5, and it was perfect. My daughter got 3 and I tried her noodles, which were spicy still.. Service. Well, as others have mentioned, it's not the most warm and fuzzy service you will get, but will suffice. The food makes up for it. Portions are smaller here, so you won't feel stuffed nor will an average person have leftovers. My 8 year old was able to finish his plate with no problem. I noticed on their credit card bill, the preprinted recommended tip only goes up to 15%, whereas usually at other restaurants I see it go at a minimum to 20%. read more

Came here randomly just because I was in the area. Not really impressed with the food. The interior and the overall atmosphere of the restaurant is lively. I'd even say the place is pretty close to over decorating, but at least there's a lot to see. I was definitely mesmerized by their fish tank!! It had no real fish but a bunch of little ones that constantly floated around...geniusness! Back to the food. Ordered pad see ew with chicken. The portion was pretty small and it lacked noodles. There was plenty of broccoli though. The Thai BBQ chicken was ok. Nothing too special about it. As for the garlic chicken, I don't even know if we got the right order? Our waiter said it was, but I would have renamed it crispy/deep fried chicken with some sort of sweet chili sauce? Don't know what happened there, but at least that portion size was decent. Service was slow too. Even asking for hot water with lemon took twenty min. Ehhh just not too impressed overall. read more

Based on only two meals I give them an above average rating for Thai Cuisine. We had the special of the day that was spicy duck basil. The duck was prepared surprisingly good and the flavors seemed right. We also had the spicy pumpkin basil with ground chicken. The chicken wasn't that supermarket kind of ground but was more like chopped up well chicken that was moist with some developed flavor and not just cooked and tossed in. The flavors were about right. If I knit pick I can say the dish would have been better if the pumpkin was cooked more because it was slightly crunchy and the basil should have been broken down more instead of being like mini branches of basil. But over all we both were pleased and plan to return. The decor is very tacky but in a good way. Fake fish swimming in the fish tank. and stuff glued on the walls everywhere. Novelty hugging salt and pepper shakers are for sale for $3.@. read more

Really felt like trying a new Thai place in the area. Had good reviews, so we came here one Saturday night. Give this place 3.75 to be precise. It was pretty low key for dinner, quiet, 2-3 other parties while we were there. It was a cozy space for sure, we had a nice booth to ourselves. The fish tank full of plastic fish definitely added to the ambiance.... We started with veg egg rolls. Crispy and delicious. We didn't get a chance to ask if the sauce was without fish sauce...we were too hungry to wait for the gal to come around. For the entrees, We had our Thai staples - pad see ew and yellow curry. As always, I added baby corn. The noodle dish was good, however not the best. The Chinese broccoli was a bit too bitter and the flavor was a bit mum -- old nonetheless. The yellow curry - packed with yummy veggies and tofu, was a bit underwhelming. It was also had a tinge of sourness that we didn't enjoy. Could've been our tastebuds a bit off kilter. Staff was friendly, space was cozy, prices decent. We may or may not visit again, but had a fair experience the first time around. read more

Terrible service, terrible food, terrible experience. Visited Sala Thai last night for dinner. We were told to sit in an area that was not in view of the front. Which was fine, so we obliged. There is a giant wall between where we were sitting and where the wait staff are. They basically forgot about us! We didn't get to order until after sitting at the table for 10 mins. No drinks, no apps, nada. When we did order we asked for some things to come out beforehand as appetizers... everything came out at once. We got our unseasoned, greasy, undercooked food! I ordered the Tom kra gai which is usually a flavorful coconut milk based Thai soup. It was pure white with minimal red chili flakes. Including the unseasoned chicken! It had almost zero flavor. Really disappointing. My boyfriend had the spicy eggplant with tofu. This dish was greasy and undercooked. The eggplant was HARD! The waitress never came back to ask if the food was good. She also didn't come back with the check either. So we walked around the wall, and paid. Overall, a terrible experience. There's just no other way to put it. read more

I didn't know what to expect when I walked into Sala Thai, but I was pleasantly surprised with the traditional Thai decoration. There were definitely lots to look at - the walls and the counters were filled with decorations. I personally didn't understand the point of a "fish tank" with plastic fish floating around, contrary to the others that seem to love it - I guess it just depends on taste. We were seated, and were given plenty of time to look over their extensive menu. I ordered the Chicken Barbecue plate and my sister ordered the curry. For the chicken barbecue, the presentation of the food was great, but the taste of the food was okay at best - the chicken was a bit tough to chew on. It really wasn't my favorite. The curry was better - it had a thick coconut aftertaste which I enjoyed. I would recommend the curry rather than the barbecue. The reason why I gave this place three stars was because of the service. The waiters were never 'rude' per say, but they just seemed non-existent! They might as well make this place a self-serve restaurant because the waiter gave us the food but never checked in once. My sister and I were tired and in need of water because we came from walking in the heat but our waters were never refilled. My sister wanted more rice for her curry but no one came by to check up on us. It seemed like the waiters didn't put any effort to attending us other than taking our order and dropping off the food. Additionally, we were ready to leave for a while before they arrived with the check. read more

This was my first time at Sala Thai at the suggestion of my friends. We ordered the Papaya Salad and to my surprise the seasoning was very tasty. Soon after we were served the Mus-Sa-Mun Curry, next came Spicey Pumpkin Basil all served with rice. Every item is spiced just right to the taste and all was yummy to say the least. For dessert we had the Coconut Ice Cream and let me tell this is an excellent ice cream to try. If you're up near here you must try this place. I did, with friends and I'm glad I did. read more

This spot is a hidden gem! It's been voted numerous times for best Thai food and it's very obvious why! I would have to highly recommend the pumpkin curry with chicken, talk about flavor explosion and especially right now for fall you can't go wrong. I typically share the pad Thai noodles and the curry and we both have plenty. The portions are fairly big, flavorful and most importantly, fresh! I love that you can choose the level of spice on your food as well! The inside is not very spacious with rather tight seating on one side, kitchen in the middle and booth seating on the other side. They do have a larger booth that could fit probably up to 6 people but I wouldn't suggest this place for larger groups. The only reason why I ranked it a 4 instead of a 5 was because the past few times I've been the service has been rather slow. Other than that the food keeps me coming back! read more

My in-laws order from the Sala Thai in Peoria nearly every time my husband and I come over to visit. They always get fried rice, chicken satay, and egg rolls for all of us to share. It's always so good with them, I've craved it even on weekends when my husband and I stay at home. So we found out about this Phoenix location and ordered the same thing for take-out (except I really wanted to try the crab wontons instead of egg rolls). Everything was just as good as the Peoria location's food. We asked for the fried rice to be a spice level of 3 and it was just right for us. This is just a take-out experience, so I can't say anything regarding the dine-in experience, but I don't think we will ever want to dine-in when we are perfectly content bringing the food home. read more
