Came here for a birthday and the experience was stressful. Tables are packed close, it's very loud on weeknights, and the 1.5-hour table limit made the night feel rushed. They also won't seat you until your full party arrives, which added pressure when some guests were late. Tried calling and even stopped by earlier to see if we could adjust, but got no help—the answer was always: “We have a strict 1.5-hour limit per table.” Great food, but I wouldn't recommend for birthdays or big groups. Better suited for a small, on-time dinner for two where the noise and time limit aren't such an issue.

Food and cocktails were delicious and the service was lovely. I will definitely be back! It's casual enough for a weeknight friend meetup but also beautifully decorated enough for a date night.

Delicious food! Great service. Would come back but want to have less standing on sidewalk next time.

Amazing duck and pad see ew! the cocktails were unique and delicious, and we ended with taro pudding!
Hester
Great as always, only small disappointment is that we had asked to be in a certain section and nothing was mentioned about it and we were not seated in the requested area. But no big deal in any case

Very good food. Nice portions. We had 4 appetizers which was enough for 2 of us. Cocktails were great. Happy hour rose was dry and delicious. Ambience is a 3 - it was quite noisy and tables are quite close together. Our server was attentive at an acceptable level. Can recommend this place!

Sala Thai's has a great lunch deal with good selection to choose between. Food and service is good and it is really decent priced.

The appetizers were excellent, especially the beautiful purple one which was almost too pretty to eat. The drunken noodle was absolutely phenomenal and everything we tried was delicious. The atmosphere had great energy but it was really loud, to the point where I couldn’t hear much. It was also pretty hot inside even though the fans were on. Still, the food alone makes it worth a visit.

We had to wait +10 minutes. We were given a table that goes against the only thing we wrote down in our notes when doing the online booking: to not be next to the AC. We said that we had asked for a table that was not that close (under) the AC and they made us wait 5 extra minutes.
Service wasn’t amazing (ie., no explanation of the meals). The place was too loud and crowded.
The food was very very yummy!

Had the best time here!!!! Atmosphere was incredible, shoutout to my server Pang for making my date great! Food was bussin as well, can’t wait to go back
Strong contender for best Thai food in NYC, never had a bad meal here (and I have had many!). The short rib panang is spectacular, and they do the classics good as well. They also have one of the best mango sticky rice in the city. I order from here regularly and dine in frequently too.

Delicious food and excellent service provided by our very attentive waitress - LY. All her recommendations were excellent. The duck dish was delicious but lukewarm. All the other dishes were at the appropriate temperature.

Excellent service and good food at Salal Thai. Shrimp Bonsal was excellent with plenty of shrimp. Soft shell crabs and chopped chicken and shrimp dumplings for appetizers were terrific. We would definitely return to this restaurant.

Had an excellent dinner at Sala Thai in west side Manhattan . We tried the Panang curry and the massaman curry with Chicken and both were very flavorful and fresh . The portions were good and the price was appropriate. Adviseable to book ahead of time .

Curry puffs were great. Pad see ew was a bit too strong on the sauce, and became overwhelming at one point. Kao moo dang was good. The chocolate lava cake dessert had too much thai tea flavour and not enough chocolate which made it a bit weird to eat. Overall good place for after hours dining, but there is better thai out there.
