    Salad King is the perfect marriage of taste, affordability, and atmosphere! The food is fresh and delicious, served nice and hot and plated very prettily. Also, the portions are HUGE-- prepare for leftovers! While the Yonge street location has a bit more of a casual vibe, the Queen st location is a bit more upscale and chic; both are great but we prefer this one for its touch of elevation! Service is always friendly and welcoming.

    Mango salad

    Came here for a family lunch to celebrate my father-in-law's birthday recently. We tried to variety of dishes and we were quite happy with all of them. Chicken satay was amazing, especially the dipping sauce. We also really liked the lettuce wrap and that's the meat had a little bit of heat in it. The mango salad was OK, it was not my favorite mainly because I found the sauce for the salad a bit too tangy. Pad Thai was delicious and quite similar to to authentic style. Also, really like the crispy beef panang curry, this was definitely a highlight! They also have dole whip here! Yes the same thing we get a Disney, they have pineapple and strawberry so I did a swirl. It's also dairy free for those who can't do milk! All in all amazing food and we had a great time! Staff in general are very nice and friendly, and I quite like a decoration of the place.

    Was seated right sway when we arrived. The interior was decorated comfortably. There was a special whereby you can get a shareable and get 2 nonalcoholic drinks for 16.50. We ordered the lettuce wraps and the Thai milk tea and Thai lime iced tea. We also had the Evil jungle prince with beef. The food tasted ok but was very basic. It is the type of restaurant for students due to price. Rating was more generous due to the price.

    First time coming to this location, came on a Tuesday evening, it wasn't too busy, great ambience. Tasty food and attentive staff, I love how you get to pick the spicy level (between 1-20) and our waiter gave good recommendations, it was delicious.

    I've been numerous times to the Yonge location, but this is my first time trying the Queen location. Both locations are very similar. The menus are almost identical, seating is similar (although Yonge may be slightly larger). The service at the Queen location is definitely a lot slower (at least when I went). Food portions are large (each dish is around $16-$18). Spice level is variable (Queen location is spicier) - 3 'chilis' is a good number if you like spice.

    I had already tried the Salad King near Yonge-Dundas and liked the food and service there, so I decided to give this location a shot. I had a good experience here, from the tasty food and efficient service to the comforting ambiance inside. I tried the Khao Soi with beef, which was a nice big portion size and had a very flavourful broth! Although I noticed it was a bit low on the beef and vegetables. The price was not bad, at $15.50 pre-tax. I asked about the student special and was told it was only between 2-5pm, which was a bummer since we were there at 1pm. I'm looking forward to trying more dishes from here in the future!

    Islamic Noodles
    Tiffany W.

    Picked up their popular Islamic Noodles (with chicken, 3 chilis spice level) for lunch which was ready in a quick 10 minutes. The noodles were cooked pretty well (albeit no wok aromas/flavour) and the Penang curry was packed separately. There really wasn't much chicken at all and what was there was pretty dry pre-blanched tasting chicken. the curry sauce was tasty and aromatic though. also don't be intimidated by their spice levels here. the 3 chilis (described as "start mopping your brow") was super mild, comparable to a black pepper tingle but wasn't spicy at all for me. Location is clean and pretty, guy at the takeout counter was friendly.

    Decent Thai Food on Queen Street. Its not haute cuisine by any stretch, but cheap and cheerful Thai style food, similar to their original location on Yonge Street. The ambiance at the new spot is a bit more refined rather than the kinda Cafeteria style of the old location but the menu seems the same. Lots of options for Tom Yum Ghai and Pad Thuai plus various curries and rice dishes. Decent spot if you need a bite on Queen Street, where lots of the food can be hit or miss. Recommended.

    Love the new location. Love the interior design. Much more modern and spacious than the Yonge location. I like how this place has more privacy seating than an open concept area. Two walls have colourful murals that are certainly eye catching. I love them! The menu hasn't changed much from pre-Covid which is nice, but they re-printed it and it looks better. The mango salad came with a mango purée which I loved!! My partner got the phud Thai and loved it to the very end. I got the green curry with beef and veggies. I was disappointed that it was not hot at all (in temperature) when we were their first customer for lunch. Less busy than the Yonge location. The rice was decent. I didn't bother complaining since I was already hungry. Overall, the food was good and I have been going to Salad King (original location) since it was across from Ryerson. Price is excellent for a Thai place and it fills up the tummy. Advice to them: please make sure the food is steaming hot. Right off the stove!

    Golden Curry with extra eggplant
    Janice Y.

    Yay for a second location! This has always been a reliable place to get my Thai food fix. I haven't been disappointed by anything on their menu. Recently ordered their BOGO Golden curry and reserve the leftover sauce for another meal. We ordered extra eggplant for $3 and received a negligible amount of 2 or 3 tiny pieces in each box. I mean I don't mind paying for more, though it just seems less than expected. I'm not sure if it's because it's BOGO they split the extra portion into two or that's how much they give for each dish when you order "extra". I also recommend their Islamic noodles, which used to be in their secret menu but is currently prominently displayed in the takeout apps. I don't know what happened recently, but it looks like someone broke into their restaurant--shards of broken glass around the door the other day. Hope everything is okay!

    Love this place. Food is very good and very filling and well-made and I like everything about the decor. Service is always great and it's close to work, which is a bonus.

    20% off your order for Heathcare Workers

    I wanted to try Salad King coz they just opened closer to my place plus there's an additional 20% for Healthcare Workers. I've been to their Yonge/Elm location and tbh was not really a fan of their food. I was craving for fried rice so I just ordered their Chicken Ball Fried Rice which is just meh. I also ordered the Sea Queen, breaded squid and not really fond of the spices that goes with it. They also forgot to give me the steamed rice that's included when you order the Sea Queen but couldn't be bothered to go back. Overall it was just an okay food (which I already knew). With other Thai restauarants in the vicinity and with the pandemic still going on, I'm just hoping they do well.

    i have been eating at salad king (yonge/elm) since high school! so glad theyre finally expanding and had opened one up on queen st west. i came by here and ordered some of my usual favourites. crispy vegetable springroll (3/$5) - these have been consistently delicious for years! they have made them bigger, and the tangy dipping sauce is still as good as i rbr. tom yum soup w.mushrooms - one of the best tom yums ive had. i like that its not sweet. perfect balance of spicy and sour! cucumber salad - ive nvr noticed this dish before, i think its new? was refreshing and tasty. siam noodles w.vegetables - this dish was usually more creamier and the sauce was thicker. this time i had it it was a bit watery and the sauce didnt coat the noodles. nonetheless, the flavours were still good. battered shrimp w.fried rice - the rice was a bit too salty and it was very "chinese"-like...think chicken ball fried rice? we werent particularly impressed with this dish. i think id stick to my usual pad thai and curries, but it was overall still a very delicious lunch! service was stellar! our waitress was so polite and friendly. decor & ambiance was very nice. they have lovely thai artwork displayed around the restaurant. definitely still my top 5 thai places in the city!

    Ask me what is what, and I could not say because it was all bland and tasteless. Very unfortunate.

The butterly pea infused tapioca gave the perfect bouncy, chewy texture to the outside and the mushroom and radish centres were so tasty. Our waitress explained that they should be eaten in a lettuce cup with cilantro, mint and peanuts. YUM! Such a flavour bomb. The only thing I would have changed would be to add some sort of a spicy, salty, sour dipping sauce like a nuoc cham. The green papaya fritters were also just fantastic. They were crispy, crunchy and the dipping sauce was a little spicy and sweet. All in all, we really enjoyed our meal and would 100% return. I have already reccomended them to others.
