Great service! the waiter noticed I was on a stool and swapped it out for a chair with a back rest without me asking. He was friendly and attentive throughout. Food came out quickly too. The highlight was the coconut shrimp. Crispy coating with fresh, well-cooked shrimp. The chicken in the noodles wasn't quite as fresh, so I'd recommend going with shrimp as your protein. Plenty of seating and a nice vibe inside, especially considering how busy the area gets.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

I love this place for their amazing That food and have been here several times. My favorite is their Siam noodles, the sauce is super delicious. I like to have it with beef or chicken. We asked for mild level for hotness. We also had orange chicken which came with side rice, it was crispy and delicious. read more

I visited this spot today with a few friends, after one of them recommended it, and I'm glad I gave it a try. I ordered the same dish as my friend--an off-menu item called Islamic Noodles with chicken and spice level 2. The dish, a coconut curry-based Thai creation, was absolutely delicious. However, I found spice level 2 a bit too mild for my taste, so I had to add some hot sauce. I think levels 4-5 would be perfect for anyone looking for more heat (they offer up to 20 levels!). The location is super convenient, right next to the Warehouse pub and just a 2-minute walk from Dundas station, directly across from TMU. The service was excellent, the portions were generous, and the atmosphere was inviting. read more

One of my go to places for years. Love the food here. I tried kimchi Korean house down the street and was met with so much disdain I felt embarrassed that I even skipped coming here instead. I'll be back as always read more

My friend from Toronto that lived for 20 years recommended this place, so it must be good, despite all the negative reviews when I did the research. I went here close to opening to avoid the long wait times and lack of service, and the food came out fairly fast and of good quality, so my experience may mirror others if I came during their peak dining hours. Nevertheless, I got their (not-so-secret anymore) Islamic noodles which is Penang curry with rice noodles (which we got with shrimp), as well as a mango sticky rice for dessert. The Islamic noodles were cooked to al dente with generous amounts of curry and a good amount of vegetables and shrimp. I really enjoyed this dish and it is to be expected if most people coming here and know of this place will tend to get this. However, the mango sticky rice was okay. The mango was not that sweet and the rice, while sticky, didn't give that much flavor even with the sauce within. It'd have been better to just stick to the Islamic noodles and nothing more. Price is pretty good for the portions - 19.75 CAD for Islamic noodles with shrimp was enough for 2 people, or 1 person if they wish to consume a very large meal. Service is fine, and if I go back, I will only exclusively order the Islamic noodles. read more

Salad King Restaurant - Islamic noodles, mango sticky rice - IG @bougiefoodieboi - Thai Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I would give Salad King 3.5 rating. The restaurant is very accessible, as it is located in the heart of downtown at Yonge and Dundas. There better places in the city for Thai, but salad king is great for a quick, large meal. The presentation of the meal wasn't the best (the peanut sauce on one of our dishes looked ...). However, the portion sizes are huge (one main is enough for two people) and well worth the price. The service was quick - our food came out piping hot about ten minutes after we ordered. Ambiance is ok, kind of basic, but there is a large eating area which can seat many patrons. read more

Omg. What a poorly named restaurant. Me, I've been going here for over 20 years or more. The first location was constant chaos until they had to close down when the building collapsed. Up pops the new one directly on Yonge str but upstairs. Keep your eye open for the entrance on the west side of Yonge just north of Dundas. Ambiance is about max seating capacity in family style tables. Large selection menu. Service quick. Heat level is rated in 1-10 "chillies". My go to dish, 5 chilli crispy orange chicken, comes with steamed rice to Mix in or eat on the side. Portions perfect. Pricing, we'll look at it this way. The university students love this place. read more

Mirroring other reviews, this restaurant's quality has declined significantly since I last came a few years ago. I got the combination spicy meal, and what I received was horribly overcooked and incredibly watery. The shrimps were also small and didn't look great quality either. Even the rice accompanying this meal was not good; it was hard and slightly undercooked. This has to be the worst Thai food I've had in recent memory. The only reason I'm not giving it 1 star is because my friends got the Thai basil noodle and the golden curry chicken, and both of them were relatively better. However, the Combination Spicy meal was terrible even from a glance. If I wasn't in a hurry I would have sent it back. I can't believe this is the same restaurant I used to enjoy a few years ago. read more

Salad King Restaurant - Combination spicy - Thai Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Went for the first time in years after an event in the city on a relatively chilly night. The place is always packed!! Sat on bench like seats, that give off a park bench vibe. They have no backs and can be a bit uncomfortable when space is already cramped. For a quick bite though, it'll do. A friend was craving their secret menu dish; Islamic noodles that I tried for the first time. We stopped in for a meal before making our way back home. We ordered spring rolls for the table. They were hot, fresh and crispy. Could've eaten them all on my own. For myself, I had the Panang Curry with shrimp and three chillies. The amount of shrimp provided was generous. The dish was mildly spicy so my nose didn't run and I didn't need to catch it ;) At first glance, the portion looks small but looks can be deceiving. The presentation is nice but makes for difficult eating. The plate and bowl aren't wide enough to fit everything into one. Service was very good for a place bustling with people. Between ordering and receiving food, everything came out quickly. Water too. Their washrooms were in disarray and unkempt but patrons are to blame for that. read more

Salad King Restaurant - Creamy and flavourful curry. - Thai Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This is based on takeout experience. 3.5 I got the Islamic noodles (rice noodles in Penang curry). The sauce is provided on the side so your noodles do not get soggy which is great. I like how you can customise the spicy level as well. I went with a level 3 and there was definitely a nice kick. My tolerance is relatively low. It comes with either chicken or just vegetarian but you can add beef, tofu, and other items for a small surcharge. Overall the sauce was flavoured well. I really enjoyed the coconut flavouring. The sauce is a bit more on the watery side, not very thick just fyi. The portion was pretty big and I was only able to finish half for lunch. I would go back and get this again or try other items on their menu. read more

Salad King Restaurant - Thai Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Very friendly staff and large portions Service: The staff were all extremely friendly and attentive, being very kind and courteous with their service and topping off our water quite often. Food: The menu is fairly extensive and the portion sizes were very large, enough for a meal and a half or two if you're not too hungry. I found the phud thai to be way too acidic/sour, likely due to the use of vinegar or tamarind sauce. Typical Thai food is expected to be more balanced with some sweetness, acidity, spice, and fragrant, but this leaned too much on the acidic side. The mango sticky rice is fairly well done, although we would have liked to see a bit more mango and milk, and the rice to be a bit softer. Atmosphere: The place was nice and clean, with ample space for everyone to dine in and the location is very convenient for a meal after a shopping trip. Overall: A good spot if you're in the mood for Thai and not wanting to wait, or if you're famished, but there are better-tasting options around town. read more

I gave this place another try. Went with 2 colleagues for lunch. Ordered the Thai rice with chicken and shrimp. For the spicy level can choose, 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20. Knowing that their food is usually on the sweeter side I picked level 15 spiciness. It was finally spicy enough, but it was still a bit blend for me so I've asked for soya sauce. I added 3 packets to make it to my liking. The food came late, but once the food came the servers were pretty fast from our demands. It's usually packed during lunch time, so make sure to go earlier. read more

Probably one of the best fast casual Thai restaurants in Toronto! I remember the good old days in college coming here for a bountiful feast of curries and coconut soup. i've got to say that they've held strong for over 15 years and have opened even a second location and the quality hasn't changed. Love the mango salad the coconut soup, the Tom kha soup, spicy fish, and green curry! Also, I was very surprised to find that the mango Gingerale was as good as it was it was so refreshing definitely a treat! read more

I'll always love Salad King. I've been coming here since 2014. The ambience is no frills, the location is great. There is plenty of seating. It's fast casual. Nothing fancy, but my no means super cheap eats either. The golden tofu dish has a special place in my heart. It's delicious, rich, and filling. It comes with a side of rice. read more

I went here on summary with my husband and one gotta say... The quality has gone significantly downhill. The food still looked good, and the portions were large, but that was about it. We ordered their famous Phud Thai (aka Pad Thai) and Khao Soy. The Pad Thai was... not good. The noodles were too soft and sticky, and the spice was not mixed in evenly. The first few bites were SO spicy (I ordered the 1 chili spice level), and the rest was bland. There was also an overpowering lime flavour. So much so that I could barely taste anything else. The only good part? They gave me extra peanuts when I asked for it. 2/5 The Khao Soi was a bit better. The noodle they used was not the typical egg noodle (the one they use to fry on top). It resembled a thick yellow spaghetti? I like this noodle better than egg noodles, but that's just my preference. However, the soup base, the most important part of the dish, was clearly WATERED DOWN. 2/5 This would've been a complete disappointment if it was not for their excellent wait staff. I did not want to bother her with how bad the food was. I just won't be returning. My advice? Spend the extra $3 and go someplace more authentic. Even Thai express has better Pad Thai. read more

My review is solely based on ONE dish I have had for more than 10x over the last five years: Islamic Noodles. It's an off-menu item that is my definition of "healthy" comfort food x guilty pleasure on a plate. I love Thai food and will usually order some sort of green/red curry when I'm at a Thai restaurant. Not here. I have ordered nothing else besides the Islamic Noodles with Chicken (sometimes Shrimp). I recommend 3 Chilis, maybe more, if you can handle it. The Islamic Noodles dish is this light, creamy, and really saucy/soupy dish with thai noodles, veggies and protein of some sort. You won't be able to find it or a description of it on their menu, but it's actually penang curry poured over. You can also taste a bit of peanut-flavor sauce as well. It might be intimidating to order something you don't see on a menu, but trust me, it's a must try! read more

Ordered some salad king through Foodora. Got a bowl of islamic noodles. Food came warm, which is rather nice for delivery service. But it was absolutely flavorless. It felt like eating boiled rice noodles with veggies, and the sauce is supposed to fill in the gaps. Others also said their pad thai, rice, or curry dishes were bland and lacking in flavour. They give you large portions, but if I wanted to not be hungry, there are much more affordable options that also have some flavor. read more

After a long day at school, my go-to restaurant for some yummy Thai food is Salad King! I usually get their Phud Thai. It always does the job when I'm craving some authentic Thai food.

Was craving something spicy and so I ordered the Thai basil noodles with chicken. I liked that the person asked if we wanted utensils for our order as sometimes we would get utensils that we wouldn't need (like bringing it home to eat rather than eating it outside). I got the regular amount of spicy just to be safe as I haven't had this dish from here before. Great portion for the price I paid for. Taste-wise, a little different than what I expected but I inhaled it and was content with my order. Can't wait to come back here. read more

Salad King Restaurant - Thai basil noodles with chicken - Thai Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I've been here several times but have only gotten one thing- the islamic noodles. It's no secret anymore that this is an off menu item and also the best item. It's basically a stir fry pad thai without the sourness swimming in penang curry. Nothing else on the menu compares and I'd freidns who've order something else and then look at me jealously when my islamic noodles arrive. The penang curry is strong and sweet and coconutty and just having it mixed throughout the stir fry noodles is just indescribable. There chillis rating is also not very accurate. I can handle some spicy but even at 5 chillis it's not really hitting any heat for me. I could comfortable go to 10 chillis. I've also had one satay skewer with the peanut sauce and thought that was also pretty good. Chicken was not dry and well marinated. I can't really comment about anything else on the menu but from what I've heard, none of it is as good as the islam noodles. read more

Great place to eat some delicious Thai food. This place has has a favorite of mine since 2015 and you never go wrong here. This time I was told by a friend to order the Islamic noodles off of their secret menu (not shown on the menu). First time trying it and I 100% recommend it. It was essentially their fried rice noodles with panang curry on top, making it a super delicious combination! It's my new favorite item to order on their menu now. Their curry and rice options are also great. But their chili really elevates any dish you choose. However if you are not a strong spice eater, definitely recommend going level 5 or lower. But if you are brave their max level is 20! read more

Salad King is located near Yonge/Dundas, very convenient. Due to the nearby student population, the dishes are affordable and the quality is great. The restaurant is spacious and there are plenty of seats. Most of the food is okayish, I'd say around 3 to 4 out of 5. They are not the best out of all the Thai restaurants in the city. Also, the spiciness level is a bit inconsistent. Sometimes 3 chili can be really spicy, while sometimes it's like 1 chili level. However, there's one dish that I recommend to anyone for 5/5 - The Islamic Noodles. This is technically their "secret menu", although everyone knows about it now because it's that good. The coconut sauce and the noodles are absolutely delicious! I love it to the point that I only order Islamic Noodles at Salad King. read more

NOTE: I would rate this place 3.5 stars I heard really great things about this restaurant from my friends and I was excited to try them out. However, I felt as though the restaurant didn't live up to the high expectation I had. COVID restrictions: masks on at all time minus when eating, must fill out form for contact tracing and proof of vaccination needed. The restaurant was very conveniently located in downtown. The restaurant had stalls on one side and open cafeteria concept dining area on the other side. The restaurant itself was relatively clean as well. Our server was really great, attentive and gave us great recommendations. My friend and I ordered the Siam Noodles. I ordered three chili level of spice. I have to say maybe I should ordered a higher level of spice because I felt as though the dish was bland. Theoretically, the food was definitely more than enough for one person, and they didn't seem to skimp on the ingredients. However, this was not a memorable meal and did not exceed the expectation I had of this restaurant in terms of food. read more

Finally got the chance to try Salad King with my good friend (hi Steph!) who suggested it. I got the pad thai with chicken and spice level 5 chilies which on the Thai scale is the "Watch Out!" And no I did not watch out because the spice caught me off guard. It was more spicy at first but then it was good (more bearable) probably because they put the chilies more on the surface. I'd reached for my cup to extinguish the spice and was happy to return to a consistently refilled cup of water. Kudos to the waiters! I would love to attempt the 30 chilies just to see how crazy spicy it actually is. The portion is excellent but the tamarind flavour wasn't as strong than other Thai restaurants I've had. I loved they doused it in peanuts for that extra texture and I enjoyed the loud but communal seating. My friend got the Bangkok stir fry and it was so flavourful but she did mention it was a little bit dry! read more

Came here to try the special Islamic Noodles, Thai Fried Rice and the Pad Thai. I read on yelp that the Islamic noodles was a 'secret menu item' but was so good and well-known that everyone knows about it! And they were correct. The Islamic noodles with chicken and shrimp had a good spice to it, although the downside is that it didn't have much of a kick in flavour and the mixture was quite wet, which I'm personally not a fan of. The other issue was that for the Thai fried rice, there were only 3 pieces of shrimp and a few little chicken pieces. I don't think I would come here again due to the small meat portions and the food not tasting as authentic as liked. Although, this place is definitely good if you're looking for a casual lunch place! The bowls were very big and we could barely finish our dishes! The meal was definitely worth t read more

Flavourless and underwhelming Thai food that doesn't really taste authentically Thai. The pad thai is from being authentic, and the stir-fried dishes just taste like watery soy sauce on rice.

Grabbed takeout from here on our last night in Toronto of pad thai and chicken and beef satays. The portions are HUGE here. One pad thai filled the large size styrofoam box and the chicken and beef satays was 8 skewers of meat that was a little bit overcooked but very flavourful. The pad thai was full of noodles that stuck together quite a bit and a little bit bland but had lots of ingredients. We enjoyed the many pieces of chicken breast, tofu puff, egg and bean sprouts strewn throughout. Overall, great portion size and great prices but I think there is better pad thai out there. read more

One of my favourite places to eat downtown... Or maybe even one of my favourite places to eat in all of the GTA. I get the Islamic noodles everytime!! I tried maybe two other dishes but I can't imagine anything else beating this one, it's just so good!!! The soft rice noodles arent sticky. The portions are huge and the price is great. The curry is so rich, fragrant, and flavourful. I love the balance of fresh veggies too. The meat is even in good portion too. I like the shrimps. They're quite large and generous in number too. I think these noodles are something everyone in Toronto should try at least once. Great comfort food. Great for takeout if you don't like sitting on a stool or sitting in loud restaurants. read more

Not just salads here. Thai food focused with many options for meat eaters and vegans alike. The wait was minimal and the staff was incredibly quick and friendly. The chicken satay was juicy and they did not skimp on meat. Slight char added a smokey flavor. Fried spring rolls are a bit greasier than I'd prefer but still very delicious. Ideally would have been better if they were fresh spring rolls but that wasn't an option. The tang from the sauce added another level of flavor. Within walking distance to the Eaten Center in case you don't want to do the food court. Less people to deal with too. read more
