Our go to for Thai food in Ottawa. This place is quite farther from us but we donโ€™t mind making the trek for some outstanding Thai dishes. They have been in business for over 25 years because quality and quantity is always spot on. Spicy, fragrant and fresh dishes. Donโ€™t miss out.

Used to go here to enjoy the panang. Went today and to my disappointment, the chicken tasted old, was very dry and over cooked. It use to be phenomenal. I'm assuming they are now using precooked chicken. Very unfortunate that I won't be able to recommend your restaurant anymore.

I ordered the pad Thai from DoorDash, the flavour is good but Iโ€™m not seeing or tasting any bean sprouts or chives in my dish. These are very typical ingredients to include so that the dish has a fresh, crunchy component included. There was also no lime wedge with my order. Iโ€™m disappointed because the dish has no depth! Itโ€™s just okay.

Ordered the Satay, in one word outstanding! My main course was Penang Curry. I could taste each ingredient and then the burn (heat) which is the way it should be. For dessert I chose the Coconut ice cream and you can't go wrong with this. I'll be back. Don't believe the bad reviews because the food is good!

Very nice Thai restaurant, well decorated, comfortable atmosphere. A bit hard to find but itโ€™s there. Staff is very friendly and polite. Place is clean. Great choice of food. My fried rice was a little greasy, next time Iโ€™ll try the curry dishes. Big can of Sapporo beer was $8, reasonable.

The sun will rise every morning, I will run over a pothole on my commute, and I will order Pad Thai at a Thai restaurant; these things I know to be true. This was no exception as I selected the Nikolai classic of a ginger ale and one of my favourite dishes. We ate at this round table and it was a meeting of the minds if not a meeting of Pad Thai because we were all craving the peanuty dish. And? It ruled. The atmosphere was excellent and the staff lovely, a great dinner indeed

My first meal at Sala Thai was a sit-down meal with family at the restaurant. The food was good but sadly, getting take out about a year later was a disaster. The food was of such poor quality that it was hard to believe it came from the same restaurant. It was so bad that I will never eat there again. The food was bland, overcooked and the beef was as tough as leather. For the first meal I give Sala Thai 4 stars and for the second 2 , which comes to an average of 3 stars.

Everytime I am in Ottawa, I always make sure that Sala Thai food is coming home with me. It is THE BEST THAI FOOD IVE WVER EATEN !!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT ! HAPPINESS IS SALA THAI IN MY TUMMY ! When I was a patient at the Ottasa Heart Institute, I was able to get 2 orders of the Chicken Panang - my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE DISH !!!- delivered to me. It absolutely made my day!!! Since it was my 50th Birthday and I had to spend it in hospital, the Sala Thai Food made it one of my BEST BIRTHDAYS EVER !!!! , , Sala Thai is so worth a trip to Ottawa from Kingston ! Parking: Shared parking with other stores

It may still be the Thai standard in Ottawa, however they may be at risk of losing that title if they stay status-quo. I love their Pad Thai. The servicevwas lacking and the wait time bordered on annoying. Same menu as 10 years ago. They do what they do well.

Idk man... Not great: we went in the evening and it was so gloomy inside, half of the room kept in the dark, the service was okay but the food was very mediocre, mine came in a completely busted and chipped dish and my partner seems to have food poisoning from a cashew dish. I didnt take picture but it wasnt very appealing. From their other reviews it seems like takeout is very risky here, but I feel like eating there in person during the evening was just off too. Might seem silly but I think the owners should take a good look at how it feels to eat in there, replace the broken dish, the dirty tablecloth, and get some proper warm lighting.

Very disappointed with the food I ordered. Curry didn t come with rice as advertised and the curry itself had zero taste. Tom yum goong soup was a little better but overall no flavour.

โ˜…
January 21, 2024

I wish the takeout food was at the same quality level as when I went in person (although that was a year ago). The tom yum goong was awful and bland. It just had a few mushrooms and 3 overcooked shrimp. The tod gratian prik Thai was somehow worse. The dish was Luke warm by the time we sat down to eat, the sauce was basically bad broth and the chicken had no flavour. Not getting food here again and I recommend you don t either.

Food was delicious and the tea was refreshing. The Panang and the Pad Thai was flavorful and an exquisite venture. Between lemon Grass tea, the pad Thai and the Panang, the flavors were mouth watering and scrumptious. The sweet spicy flavor with the soft spoonful entangling texture of white rice and the Pad Thai Thailands salty flavor was a fusing journey to Sala Thai Cuisine. I highly recommend it

I used to live beside a different Thai restaurant in south keys (plus from Toronto so have had plenty of amazing Thai food) and while this place has good food, it still doesn t compare unfortunately. I got chicken pad thai and green curry with chicken. Like I said, they re good, but not quite the quality I m used to. The pad thai was good but a little dry? The curry was spicy which I like but lacked a little flavour. I ordered delivery though so it s possible that played a factor! Satisfied my craving but will probably make the trek to my old Thai place in the future

The food was hot i ll give it that, but it was absolutely horrible. I ordered the khao pad (35A) and couldn t believe my eyes when i saw how off putting it looked. I m not thai but i ve eaten at two thai restaurants and they had pretty good fried rice (my current hyper fixation at the moment). I decided not to judge a book by its cover and give it taste, it was not good. i know now to avoid this place. I ordered through uber eats so you know it was really pricey to get the meal. i m sad but that s my fault.

Hands down the best Thai food I have ever had in my life! Could literally eat this every day. We had the Gai Pad Med Mamuang, Pad Kee Mao and Pad Siew. my favourite was the Pad Kee Mao - very similar to the Cashew Chicken I usually get at other (less-authentic) Thai restaurants. So.full.of.flavour!!! Was so impressed by the customer service as well. I phoned my order in, and the lady called me by my first name as though she knew me when I picked it up. Really just went above and beyond can t wait to visit again.

Ordered 3 different curries, pad thai and the tom yum soup. The curries were amazing, especially the green curry. Keow warn and sapparot were a bit spicy. Tom yum soup is a clear broth, instead of red, as others have said so it was confusing, but the taste is similar. The pad thai was okay for us. They do offer halal options for all the chickens in the menu, which is really great so thank you for having that.

Went on Monday and timed it right as the crowd arrived just after we did. Had the shrimp spring roll, no change there. Had Pad Thai and some beef ginger dish. The beef dish was delish!! The Pad Thai so so. Good service though. Went for the 5-10 pm hours. Ordered Spring roll (shrimp), all it was was a simple tail on shrimp and wonton wrapper), Thom Yum gai (sweet and sour soup w/mushrooms and shrimp), tail on, minimal amount of mushrooms. Restaurant was very very hot inside and the bathroom was ridiculously small if you werent built like a twig!!! I would not recommend this restaurant.

Ive literally been ordering the same thing from this place for 8 years: #42 (yellow chicken curry with coconut milk and potatoes) with a side of rice. The lunch-time special equivalent is D on the menu. It is so good it has the power to console me on the worst of days. Anyone Ive introduced it to has also agreed its delicious. Im sure there are other great things on the menu, but I wouldnt know because I struck gold the first time I ordered and Ive never looked back. I hope covid has not impacted them too harshly because I would be devastated if I couldnt get my yellow curry anymore.

Back in the days when Thai food restaurants are almost non-existent in Ottawa, lo and behold... Sala Thai came to be. The mark of a true and tested dish is the consistency of taste and texture of the food and Sala Thai remained consistent with every dish that comes out of the kitchen. Time and time again, Sala Thai delivers dishes that is authentic as it can get. The perennial favourite that is Pad Thai, is always cooked just right. The best way to sample a particular dish, is just try them all, bec. its that good. Going to Sala Thai is an epic adventure for you palette, so dont wait any further. Go now.

Very disappointed, the first time I ordered soup it was nothing but broth. I gave them another chance and this time I picked up their lunch special and I specifically asked her what the seafood included. I was advised that its a mixture of squid shrimp and scallops with baby corn and mushroom. When I got home there was squid and shrimp with pepper and onion no scalloped no baby corn. Maybe not a huge deal but when youre looking forward to something specific and get home and find something else its a bit of a damper on the mood.

My wife and I went for dinner on October 2nd. Absolutely fantastic quality food. I ordered two 17 star spicy dishes (this was an overexaggeration to indicate how spicy I wanted my dishes ) and they delivered. My wife really enjoyed her soup and red curry. Waitress was very courteous - will return!

I ve been looking for a GOOD thai restaurant for a long time. Tried so many thai food in Ottawa. This is literally THE BEST thai restaurant in town. Not too sweet ; not too oily. Perfect. I will never order from other thai places. This will be my go-to place from now on.

Authentic Thai palette. Deliciously prepared and served in a timely manner. The dishes are well prepared and presented. Flavors and aromas await you. Fresh products, Thai Menu offering several choices including Labp Moa (hot pork salad), Som Tan (green papaya salad), mango salad, pad Thai. Without hesitation, a place to include in your list of favorite restaurants and with authentic flavor.

Food had a nice aroma to it, tasted quite authentic. Be it the fried rice or curry dishes we ordered, the meat and shrimp were cooked just right! And the vegetables were crispy rather than soggy which makes a huge difference to the texture of the dish. Highly recommended as we felt the cooks put a lot of effort into making gather food rather than just slapping it on the plate.

Chicken satay was rubbery, peanut sauce was not good at all. Seafood sizzler has only 3, just 3 shrimps and lots of watery sauce, onion and carrot. I didnt get what I ordered. The tapioca dessert was even more disappointing. There was neither mango nor black beans at all. Totally disappointed again. :-{

Went here for a Sunday lunch. Ordered two items from the lunch special and one item from the main menu. Pad Thai was salty instead of sweet and had a lot of peanuts. The order of yellow rice with pineapple was amazing I could eat that every day ! The red chicken curry was flavorful as well. Unfortunately all of these portions were really small for two people. Considering the price point the chicken curry didn t even come with a ball of rice. Definitely will go to try more items again I had expectations set high based on all the reviews.

FYI: I AM SO ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT THIS RESTAURANT!!! Back story: I ve been teleworking for 10 weeks (work politics before the office shut down mid-March). I ve been trying to save my pennies but decided to try a new Thai restaurant before Foodora totally shut down. Unfortunately, I should have anticipated that Foodora would not be the most reliable of delivery companies.However, Maria at Sala Thai was amazing communicating with me last evening. After I had been waiting for 60+ minutes for a Foodora pick-up confirmation, I contacted Foodora s help line. They informed me that my order couldn t be picked up until 11 when Sala Thai closed at 8. I called Maria back to explain the situation after Foodora refunded my order and she was so wonderful and SHE PERSONALLY DELIVERED my food to outside her normal delivery area where I paid with cash. The food was hot and steaming when it arrived (after 2 hours from initial Foodora order). The customer service was above and beyond. Most importantly, it was a) the best Thai I ve had in Ottawa, and b) OMFG IT S SO GOOD even as leftovers. I truly can t wait until the CoVid-19 cases become more because I m so excited to drive to this restaurantb and eat in their dining room. You won t be disappointed. Edit: Om nom nom nom nom nom (x1000000)

I always liked this restaurant for its great food and friendly service. But how is it during the pandemic. So instead of going out for my birthday I asked my family to order and pick up some of my favourite dishes. The dishes were generous portions and well packaged. The green curry was excellent as were the spring rolls. We ordered Yum Woonsen as I never tried a Yum ( salad) main course. It was tasty but to my surprise it was warm! A shrimp and pork and glass noodle salad . We also tried a Pad Sieu which was a wonderful rice noodle dish plus we ordered a yellow curry. Overall we were all very happy with the food and the service at the door.

Was disappointed with the VEG lunch option. there was only one, and it was a pretty flavorless garlic sauce, not even a curry option. They claimed all of their curries have fish sauce, so then why is there a green curry in the Vegetarian dinner menu? Does that mean I had fish sauce when i came in for dinner a few months back and i wasnt told? On top of all of this, the soup that comes with the curry (which is only vegetables, no tofu, i had to pay extra for that) has a chicken broth and they refuse to substitute with something else! Terrible! Oh. And I am still hungry.

I read some good reviews about this place and being such a huge lover of Authentic Thai food I wanted to try this place out for myself. So this evening my fiancee and I went. We started with the Tom Kha Goong soup and Satay Chicken Skewers. Both were absolutely delicious.. The Chicken was slightly rubbery but the flavours and peanut sauce made up for it. For our main entrees we decided on Gaeng Garee Gai (light curry chicken with coconut milk and potatoes) And Chicken Pad Thai.. The curry was amazing.. It was actually so good that I would come back to this place for this dish alone.. However the pad thai was not so great.. In Fact it was quite disappointing. This place claims to be an authentic Thai restaurant however their Pad Thai tastes like something I would purchase at a cheap fast food restaurant in a food court. Im pretty sure the sauce was made from mostly ketchup and molasses.. Which are ingredients you would normally find in an americanized version of Pad Thai but not an authentic version.. Real Pad Thai sauce should have Tamarind, fish sauce, siratcha, lime, palm sugar and vinegar and should be more of a dry sauce on the noodles.. ( I couldnt taste any of these ingredients) And the flavour is supposed to be hot, sweet and sour all rolled into one.. this was just sweet and saucy.. Honestly.. I have been disappointed with most Pad Thai in Ottawa so much that I started making my own. Which by the way is based on an actual Thailand recipe and ACTUALLY tastes authentic. I am still waiting to find a place in this city with real Pad Thai.. Someone please point me in the direction of a place that actually has it..
