Really good food. The service is great. The owners are incredibly nice. Chicken yellow curry was awesome and we loved the mango sticky rice.

We have been going to Saladang Song very regularly ever since the place opened up many years ago as one of our favorite restaurants. However, for last few years we have been going there not as often because of increase in sugar load in many dishes specially in Pad Thai. You don't taste the main ingredients but just sugar almost like eating candy.
My mom and her friends refuse to eat at Saladang Garden because of sugar load.
Please tone down on sugar !

Don't waste your time and money here. The service here has gotten so bad that it's the worst restaurant I've been to yet. I used to come here with my family and friends before, but now I don't recommend this place to anyone unless you want to ruin your day.
1. The moment we walked in, we were just given an unfriendly look and was taken to a table with no greeting.
2. The cups were quiet dirty and had things floating inside. When asked to replace it, the waitress didn't look like she wanted to help at all.
3. She also slams the condiments on the table when I asked for some chili.
4. Not long after we got the food, we were asked if we want to get a to-go box for the food while we were still eating. It hasn't even been 10 minutes and I'm given my check. (As I'm putting food in my mouth) All I wanted to do at that point was to leave and never come back.
I went there around 1 pm and got out in less than 30 minutes. Just save your time and go somewhere else. The food here isn't what it used to be and you can get better thai food and an even better experience someplace else. The experience I had here was worse than waiting in line at a DMV.

Very good food and service is good. Food tastes authentic but a bit on the pricey side although well worth it because of the portion size. Would recommend this place if you crave Thai.

Worst service I’ve experienced in a while. As soon as we walked in, no greeting — we were just roughly shown to a table. There was some kind of residue or foreign substance in my water cup, but no apology. When I asked for a straw, the server dropped two on the table without a word. Same thing when I asked for chili sauce — just slammed it on the table with a cold look.
We didn’t even ask for the check and still had plenty of food left, but they gave us the vibe like we should leave — asking if we were done.
Food was mediocre, service was worse. I honestly don’t understand where all the good reviews are coming from. I can only hope I was just unlucky.
**I was there on Saturday 4pm
Try to avoid going there at that time — unless you want to ruin your weekend!

We hosted our daughter’s first birthday here because we love the food and staff. Some of the best Thai food we’ve had in this part of town, and truly some of the nicest staff who are accommodating and always willing to help. Thank you Saladang Garden 💕

Ok first of all, we were never told that this restaurant is family style and I asked what the difference was between this restaurant and the Saladang next door and all our server said was next door served traditional menu, in my mind I’m thinking authentic, NOT massive portions. I’m gluten free and confirmed everything we had was GF, even tho some items on the menu weren’t labeled gluten free she said they were, idk if this was true because my bf and I had a reaction after. I was up all night with bloating, body aches, and a headache aka food sensitivity symptoms. We paid $75 to make ourselves sick. I can’t believe they charge this much for poor quality. I would NEVER come back here again. Erewhon charges way less and their ingredients are clean and healthy.

When this restaurant opened as a more “Thai” version of the original Saladang it was pure joy. Gracious service, gorgeous garden and full, fresh flavors.
Sadly, it’s just another mediocre Thai place now with generous portions of noodles, basic ingredients, and a real lack of imagination. The fresh herbs, and veggies are gone. The deep, complex balance of heat, sweet and tang that brought me back is entirely absent. The garden is not well maintained. Despite have good bones, the space feels neglected. ** Most of all— so do the plates.**

Great food
Wow! This place is GREAT. Stopped here for the first time. The portions are family style so beware. I was wondering why the prices seemed high but the portions account for it. The atmosphere is so calm and chill. I ordered the beef salad and the chicken satay. Everything was DELICIOUS!!!!! The peanut sauce that comes with the chicken satay is INSANELY good and has depth. The only thing I’d say is that I didn’t like that they put the piping hot beef over my nice cold salad. Wish they would have cooled it a bit so it didn’t wilt the salad. Otherwise I’m definitely coming get more often!

Bad customer service. They beg for a tip when their customer service is really poor. I have seen them chasing somebody all the way to the entrance because they forgot to tip
