Very good neighborhood Thai food. They’re very open and communicative as the weight staff in terms of the spiciness and ingredients.

Below average Thai food. Drunken noodles lacked spice or flavor, just overly loaded with fish/oyster sauce over burnt scrambled eggs. Chicken satay was dry and flavorless, peanut sauce to accompany was not fresh either. Utterly disappointed for a take out experience after reading all the positive reviews on this restaurant.

When my fiancée's Thai food craving hit, we decided to break from our usual routine and try SLA Thai for the first time. Ordering take out through DoorDash, we went with two noodle dishes and a classic dessert to get a proper taste of their offerings.
My fiancée chose the Pad Kemao, a flat noodle dish with shrimp and eggplant. While she found it satisfying with well-cooked shrimp and pleasant eggplant texture, it didn't quite reach the heights of her favorite version from Papa Thai in Bloomfield. The flavors were good but somewhat muted compared to what she's used to, decent but not remarkable enough to dethrone her go-to spot.
I opted for the Pad See Ew and was pleasantly surprised despite an initial strong fishy aroma when opening the container (likely from oyster or fish sauce). The first bite won me over with fresh, perfectly chewy noodles and that great balance of savory and slightly sweet flavors Thai food does so well. My only real complaint was the complete lack of spice, a real miss since DoorDash didn't offer spice level customization for this order. Next time I'll definitely call ahead to request some heat, because what's Thai food without a little kick?
For dessert we tried the Sweet Mango Sticky Rice, which my mango-loving fiancée was especially excited about. The coconut flavor in the rice was spot on, rich and aromatic. Although some of the rice was disappointingly dry and hard, like it had been sitting for a while. The saving grace was the perfectly ripe, sweet mango that she devoured happily. I found it a bit too sugary for my taste, but then again, I'm not the mango enthusiast in this relationship. It's a dessert that would satisfy anyone with a serious sweet tooth, assuming the rice comes out fresher next time.
Overall, SLA Thai delivered a solid takeout experience with some clear highlights (that Pad See Ew in particular) and a few areas for improvement. The noodle dishes showed good technique with fresh ingredients, though the inability to specify spice levels through DoorDash was frustrating.
While it didn't surpass our favorite Thai spot, it's definitely a place we'd order from again - though next time I'll be calling ahead to request spice adjustments and maybe crossing my fingers for better-executed sticky rice. For a first try, it was promising enough that we'd give them another shot when we're in the mood for something different.

Recently dined there. Its now not as good as it used to be. Their prices keep going up with smaller portions and decrease in quality. For example the “Curry Puffs” appetizer now contains a cheaper purée stuffing than the former better filling of potatoes and peas.

Really great food and really great service. It gets busy in the evenings (we went specifically on a Friday) so if you want to secure a table, reserve!
But the food was truly great and the ube shake was delicious. Mango sticky rice was sweet and creamy. No complaints!
I’ve been to this Thai restaurant more times than I can count—it’s hands down my favorite spot! My boyfriend and I dine here all the time and we just can’t get enough. The service is consistently incredible—the staff is always so kind, helpful (especially when I can’t decide what to order!), and super attentive. The food is absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere has the best vibes—so cozy, welcoming, and always spotless. I love that they bring out a little treat while we wait for our food—it’s such a thoughtful touch. This place never disappoints. Try the mango mojito, you’ll be obsessed! 😉

I am blown away by this Thai restaurant. The service was fantastic. The food exceeded all expectations. I cannot wait to come back and explore more of the menu. The Chive pancakes were delicious and the duck was cooked to perfection. It was a perfect date night and we can’t wait to come back!

Really good Thai. Small seating area. Make reservations on weekends. We do takeout a lot.
Edit: since I originally posted the review, SLA has moved to a new location nearby. I think it's an even better spot than before. The food is still remarkable. They also have a nice little alleyway that's nice to sit in the summer. It's shaded and a very enjoyable experience..

Amazing food, service, and ambiance! We got the truffle roll, curry puff and gui chai for appetizer - all very flavorful and perfect for sharing. For entrées, we had pad thai and red curry - classic dishes that were rich in taste and a good portion. So glad to find SLA Thai - we will be back!
