    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.

    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.

    Combination spicy
    Sharon Y.

    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.

    Creamy and flavourful curry.

    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.

    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.

    Shrimp Phud Thai

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Siam noodles, also a bit TOO saucy!
    Jen H.

    This is my go-to work lunch spot! Satisfying, big portioned and savory dishes. However, I'm a bit turned off at the incredible price. $21 for a dish after taxes, before tip. I got the 'secret' menu item, Thai Islamic Noodles! Rice noodles with veggie and chicken, under creamy coconut curry.

    Golden tofu vegan

    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.

    Phud Thai (aka Pad Thai)
    Phoebe C.

    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.

    Got the: - Islamic Noodles ($17) - Sping Rolls ($4.80) - 3 included Good - Large menu, customizable dishes - Service is generally fast - Plenty of seating - Central location Bad - Above average price - Spice level not consistent

    The portions are HUGE!! A cute ambiance not too far from Eaton Centre with delicious thai food!!

The restaurant has a lot of smaller tables, making it feel cozy, and the service was super friendly. I ordered the dry boat noodles with egg noodles and they were so good. The side of broth was absolutely amazing and honestly one of the best parts of the meal. Rich, flavorful, and so comforting. I kept alternating between bites of noodles and sips of broth. There was chili oil on the table, and I definitely got a little carried away. It was seriously spicy, but somehow I couldn't stop eating. My mouth was on fire, but every bite made me want another. Even after leaving, I kept thinking about those noodles. I also liked that there are several noodle options to choose from depending on what texture you're craving.

It got to the point where I was slurping and choked a few times that left my throat burning a bit haha. I like that they offer two sizes and condiments on the side as well. Service was higher than standard. I like the other things this restaurant offers by the entrance. I also got a Thai inhaler stick there and it works like a charm.

Most…read moreof them said this really set the bar high for meals in Toronto especially since we were going to Niagara the next day and they expected mediocre touristy food. We ordered the tapioca dumplings, papaya fritters, beef massaman curry, nam khao, drunken noodles w chicken, mok pa, and watermelon salad. Overall I think the food was good although some items were a skip (drunken noodles and watermelon salad). For a cheaper price I've had more delicious drunken noodles, these were just fine. The watermelon salad was literally cut watermelon lol please. However, the rest of the food was really good. My top three items were the tapioca dumplings, nam khao, and beef massaman curry, in that order. I have had delicious tapioca dumplings in Madison, WI and have been chasing those item for years now and this really delivered. I love nam khao and have had various versions - this isn't the best I've had (I had a phenomenal one in Chicago) but it was still sooooo good. Beef massaman curry exceeded my (low/neutral) expectations. Service was incredible, the waitress was so nice and helpful. It is a fun decor in there as well and so much bigger than I thought it would be (tbf I didn't have a specific expectation, but it does have many rooms).

    I'm definitely coming back here!…read more We ordered the Tapioca dumplings, the beef messemen curry, and the mango and purple sticky rice. Wow! It was all so tasty. The tapioca dumplings are unlike anything I've tasted before. They serve it with a side of lettuce, mint and peanuts. I liked the dumplings better without the sides they served! The lettuce and other add ons dim the flavors of the dumplings. So I prefer just eating the dumplings straight on. The Messemen curry was so flavorful and the beef was so tender! I'm a big fan. If you're a fan of Thai curries then you'll definitely like this! The Mango purple sticky rice dessert was also really tasty! It had a tasty coconut sorbet and it all went really well together. Service was good, food came out quickly, vibes were good. No complaints here!

    We made a reservation for a weekday lunch. The restaurant was busy but not packed…read more I definitely recommend ordering to share rather than eating only one of something. I found the dishes to be quite heavy-handed on the seasoning (borderline too salty), so the variety helps. Panang Curry - very flavorful, slightly sweet, and very savory. Had a nice kick to it! Som Tum Tod (fried papaya salad) - ordered it because it was their signature but I thought it was too salty and crunchy. And I got kind of tired of the fried aspect of it. Wished I ordered the fresh papaya salad instead. The heat and garlic is nice though. Decently sized portion so you can share it with the whole table. Pad Woonsen Cha-Om (Minced Pork & glass noodle, egg, garlic and acacia leaves) - my first time trying this dish! It was really good! It kind of filled the role of "fried rice" to me, mellowing out all of the stronger flavours of the other dishes. Still quite flavourful on its own too. Felt like a Thai-spin on the Korean dish, Japchae. Kai Yang (grilled chicken) - oh my gosh the sauce this chicken comes with is TO DIE FOR. I want to buy it or learn how to make it. It's so fragrant, fresh, spicy, aromatic, and just the right amount of fishy and acidic. We were very full sharing these 4 dishes between 3 people. For the fact that this is Michelin Bib Gourmand, I think it is well-priced and a great place to try!
