I recently visited Salween with a coworker for lunch. We only had an hour, so we chose it because it's close to work. When we arrived, the restaurant was pretty empty and there was only one server, but since it wasn't busy, we figured it would be fine. She checked on us quickly, and the food came out fast. The food was delicious, as always. It was a colder day, so we both ordered soups, and they were perfect! Also, servings were big enough for left overs :) The only downside was at the end of our meal. We were trying to check out, and it took quite a while to track down the server so we could pay. We understand she was the only one working, but there were probably no more than three tables total and one takeout customer. We would've just left cash and gone, but since we had to pay with cards, we had to wait. I've tried to avoid going during busy times because I know service can get slow, but we thought it would be quicker with so few tables. It still took longer than expected. Other than that, the food was great. I love the coconut chicken soup, it's always amazing. read more

Salween Thai - Pad see Yew - Thai Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

I was feeling very under the weather and my husband offered to pick something up. He suggested Salween Thai and I happily obliged! I ordered the Pad See Yew with beef for myself. Despite being pretty stuffed up, the flavors were still great. My daughter got the kids chicken friend rice, which I wish had some veggies included. Overall, things were great. I just wish the temperature was a little warmer. We live about 5 minutes away and even after opening my food almost immediately after my husband got home, it was pretty cold. He said he waited for a bit to get it. Hopefully just a one-off. read more

Salween is my absolute go-to for Thai food. I was craving pad Thai last week and ordered from door dash. It hits the spot every time!!! I'm literally drooling thinking about it again. The spice level always hits and the flavor is unmatched. Another favorite of mine from there is the chicken satay skewers and the pineapple curry. This place does not miss! read more

So after a long work day I'm feeling Thai. So I ordered takeout from Salween Thai. Hands down the best Thai for I've had here in Omaha. The food has so much flavor.

Salween Thai - Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Slowest eatery in Omaha. If time is not a factor, this is your spot. If eating at a place that doesn't care about their customers is your thing, eat here. One and done for me and I haven't even tried the food. read more

Salween Thai - Egg rolls - Thai Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Got the chicken pad Thai! It was really good. It is more a saucy pad Thai, and less peanut flavor. I got spice level 1 because me and spice don't get along, but honestly could have gotten a 2 probably. read more

After exploring the Omaha for 4 years while in school here, I've seen it all. Salween can curb every college student's Thai craving with their low prices and decent portions. While it's not the best Thai food I've ever had, it's good for Omaha. I recommend the Pad Thai or Pad See Ew. The service can be slow during the dinner rush. read more

Pad Thai is nasty. Curry is so watery it could be soup. So little rice given, certainly not even enough for one.And no utensils to eat with and we are in a hotel!!!!! read more

This was a to go order and I was so excited to grab my food after work to only be disappointed! 1st the sampler: the 2 small fish cake tasted like it was store bought from the freezer aisle. The 1 piece of shrimp roll & egg roll wasn't anything to be impressive about and the samosa was very dry on the inside even though it was fried or maybe because there was just mainly potato inside. The pad see ew was flavorful but the carrots & broccoli were undercooked & hard still and the portion to price was not worth it. I opened my box and it looked like it could've been someone's leftover from dining in. The parking to the place was also a mess, this was at 730pm cst, you had people parking behind cars trying to get into the parking lot and people that were parked in front of the restaurant trying to leave but couldn't cause there was a car parked right behind them. read more

Food is delicious and good portions. If you get curry, always order an extra rice per person because they only give you one small box of rice. The noodles are a little oily but still delicious. I usually get red or yellow curry and drunken noodles with extra white rice. This time I also got spring rolls and one of their fried rices. The spring rolls were mid. Everything else was delicious! read more

Salween Thai - Thai Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Great service -- The staff welcomed us with a smile, we were seated almost immediately, and we were served water as soon as we were seated. They were attentive to our table and even brought us to go boxes with the bill. Food -- I was not a fan of the fried calamari (3/5), but my chicken Pad Thai was delicious (5/5)! The spice level is from 1-10 and I got a 5. It was too spicy for me. Given this, I would recommend going a bit lower on the spice level if your tolerance to spice is not high. Ambiance -- The restaurant seating area was decorated beautifully and the booths were comfy. There was no music playing (could be a pro or con for some folks). Overall this is a great place to eat (4.5/5). The food is not too pricey and customer service was great. read more

Salween Thai along with Mercy Thai are in my opinion the best Thai food in Omaha. I prefer Salween Thai as it's closer to me in Benson. The drunken noodles with pork or chicken are always clutch for me along with a spring roll as an appetizer. I tend to start craving hot noods even more when it's either raining or snowing for some reason. The heat levels are no joke if you cannot handle the heat; I prefer to go with a 4 or 5, but I like the heat. The service is always fast & is great especially for takeout. The ambiance is ok, if you want to dine-in but it seems like they make a good portion of their business with takeout or delivery. I am very happy to have one of my go-to Thai food spots near me. In the picture is Panang Curry, which Kendra D, says is very good. Much recommended. read more

Terrible service, servings are tiny and the food is overpriced and underwhelming. The waitstaff are not professional read more

Today, the service was poor. I waited for water, later asked for napkins. She forgot to ask if I wanted protein and later said since I replaced the veggies for the rice, something I normally do, that she didn't think I needed the protein. The coffee was good though I asked for a menu and never received this either. The music was too loud this afternoon. Normally, this is my favorite restaurant. read more

I ordered Salween Thai through DarDash and it was delicious. I like how you can personalized the spicy level and how much food you get. Two people can eat from one plate and the price is super good. I will for sure order from here again! read more

What else would you order during a 12 hour shift to remind you of joy an life? Salween Thai. I got the tofu red curry level 7 to put some spice in my night and it hit good, i'm an avid all in on the hot scale and the 7 did me good mild runny nose but the FLAVOR level 10. Highly recommend super yum (plus the rice is in a heart shape, I you back Salween) read more

Salween Thai - Massaman Curry - Thai Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Salween is a fantastic, easy, reasonably priced option nearby for anyone at the med center, in Blackstone, or Dundee. I've gotten take out from here a few time and every time it's been delicious. They are always punctual with their delivery or pickup times, which is much appreciated. The food is delicious, and I haven't tried anything that's disappointed me. Additionally, they were open during the recent blizzard/winter storm, which earns them extra kudos in my mind! Salween is certainly one of my go to take out spots in Omaha! read more

Tried the pork pad thai and crab rangoons from here today, very tasty! Will probably have more in the future!

Went in to pick up my food and there was not a single person around. After waiting several minutes I went to the back of the restaurant and called "hello?" to the back area hoping someone heard me. A female working eventually came out and simultaneously a delivery person goes to the counter. She proceeds to help him out first, despite me stating I was there first and her seeing me on camera. In my 30 years of experience in the food industry, it is customary to serve the customer in your face before one on the phone or delivery. The delivery person wasn't a customer. In any event, the girl was rude and defensive instead of apologizing for the inconvenience or misunderstanding. I asked her to explain why she felt her course of action was best. She basically escorted me to the door and locked it. Totally unprofessional. Also, for almost $19, I got a whole lot of nothing. The panang was delicious but who eats curry with a kids portion of rice? Great that it's in a cute heart shape but I came to eat, not get happy heart vibes. read more

Salween has been my go-to for tasty Thai food for years! However, keep in mind that they have been evolving and reacting to tough times by decreasing the amount of protein in dishes as well as the portion sizes. The 'ween used to be top tier in Omaha, but it just hasn't been hitting the spot like it used to. I absolutely love the Pad Thai as well as the Drunken Noodles and typically order a spice level of 5-6. Spice level varies based on the chef preparing the dish - I have had a level 5 taste like a 3 some times and an 8 other times. Despite the changes to Salween's service, I still recommend their Thai food and will continue to return! read more

This place is a vegetarian's dream! It's really hard to find Thai food in Omaha that doesn't use fish/oyster sauce in most of the dishes. I so appreciate how accommodating Salween Thai is with all of my veggie-full requests -- they add extra veggies to dishes, make things without any fish/oyster sauce, the whole nine yards. I'm a super busy medical student nearby and I love that I can always count on them for healthy, delicious food. 10/10 recommend. read more

Salween Thai - Pad Kee Mao Ta Lay -- made with extra veg, tofu, and no fish sauce. 10/10! - Thai Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Salween Thai is an Omaha must eat restaurant. It has consistently been one of the top Thai spots in Omaha. My favorite dishes here are the drunken noodles and the panang curry. While the portion sizes have certainly decreased over the years, the taste and quality has been consistent. I usually get anywhere from a 3-5 slice, I can handle moderate spice. Highly recommend this place! read more

Salween was highly recommended for us to try while in Omaha. According to my girlfriend and friends it's not in a nice part of town so we just ordered it via door dash. Food was filling and good, but nothing that'll blow your mind. Worth a shot if you're craving Thai. read more

Salween Thai - Drunken Noodle w/ extra chicken - Thai Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Salween is such a takeout staple! I typically have the Pad Thai spice level 6 (spice level ranges from 1-10). I have tried their tofu pad Thai and something was off about the tofu (didn't love it!) their chicken is good though! The dine in service is not great, you'll be sorry if you order too much spice and can't get water. I usually order take out. Unfortunately, the last time I ordered take out there was an issue. I was told food would be ready in 30 minutes, arrived on time and had to wait for another 45 minutes. It was worth the wait though! read more

Did I move into the Metcalf neighborhood in Benson just to be close to Salween Thai? Partially. This place is delicious...big menu with all the Thai classics, and available on a 1-10 heat scale. I like a bit of spice, but not tears so I stay around a 4. Inside seating is very clean, well kept and comfortable. Takeout is also available, and usually ready in about 25 minutes. I recommend the Yellow curry, Pad See Ew, Fried Drunken Noodle, and Chicken Satay...but in reality I haven't disliked anything I've had here, these are just on my greatest hits that I'm constantly putting on shuffle and repeat. Favorite Thai food in Omaha for me! read more

I absolutely love Thai food, so I've tried many restaurants in the Omaha-area and must say that Salween Thai consistently remains my favorite Thai restaurant for many years. My favorite dish is definitely the Chicken Pad Thai. The sauce is full of flavor, absolutely delicious. The portion is pretty good and they give a decent amount of meat in the dish. I have tried and loved many other dishes from Salween, including multiple curry dishes, pad see yew, drunken noodle, and tom yum noodle soup. They are all truly excellent. I frequently crave Salween and always find myself returning to one of the many Omaha locations. Highly recommend! read more

Came in a bit skeptical as the location is not ideal. Food is great and staff is super friendly. Highly recommend! read more

Deliciously authentic (and cheap!) Thai cuisine that definitely deserves more visits in the future. I've come with family and friends and there has always been something for everyone. The padthai is downright delicious and the pineapple fried rice is the right balance of sweet and savory. I especially like the curries here and how you can choose a spiciness level... personally, I can only do 5 out of 10, so if you think you can take the heat, do so with caution. Next time, I'll check out the Asian market next doors. If it's like the restaurant, I know I'll be pleasantly surprised. read more

Hands down the best Laotian/Thai food I've had in the Midwest!! By far the best pad Thai and papaya salad (Laos style) I've tried at a restaurant! I'm very impressed with the authenticity and taste!! My tongue was about to fall off from the spice and it was worth it!! They were all spice level of 7 and it was perfect!! Literally just came out of the restaurant. Could've gone an 8 but my body is still numb from the spice! Can't recommend this place enough! read more
