Sala Modern Thai Kitchen was a gem to find! My friend and I were just looking for a place around that had vegan options and this place popped up. We made reservations, but when we got there at close to 8:00pm, the place was packed! They were very accommodating and asked if we would like to sit at the bar to wait. We just decided to stay there and eat because the atmosphere was just so lively and fun. The women serving us were so sweet and patient even though it was so busy. I had Pad Thai and my friend had the Pad Sew. Both were generous portions and delicious, but the coconut ice cream at the end was to die for! Even though we live in Barrie, we will definitely make a trip back to this place. I have already told all my friends about it!

After playing badminton, we came here and had an amazing experience! The food was authentic with generous portions, and the owner, who is from Thailand, was so incredibly warm and welcoming. We were celebrating a birthday, and she even surprised us with a special ice cream treat—such a thoughtful touch! No draft beer, but the great food and atmosphere made up for it. Highly recommend!

Tried out Sala's for the first time with some friends and it was absolutely breathtaking! From the service to the atmosphere and the food! I tried the Khao Soi - ข้าวซอย. It was creamy and fresh with such an amazing mix of flavours.

Massaman curry is my favourite thai dish and they did it so well!! (Pictured) Incredibly well balanced spices (aromatic) and can add spice (heat) to taste!! The curry is incredibly rich and goes so well with the rice. The beef is very tender! Truly hit the spot. Be aware that they use whole spices in this dish (e.g. bay leaf, clove, star anise). I quite like it but just flagging for anyone interested. I can't wait to come back to try more dishes! Portions are generous. You are likely to take some home! Great assortment tray of spices (Pictured). I liked the 2nd from the left (clear) the most. It was a little sweet! My Singha beer came with chilled glass (Pictured). It was great. Service was very kind, prompt, and attentive! Lovely decor. (Pictures) Super cosy neighbourhood feel. Collage of group photos, polaroids, and beautiful Thai pieces. Comfortable seating with traditional patterned cushions along a bench for the wall side of seating. Venue best accomodates parties of 1-4 easily but can accommodate more (a party of 9 arrived for a reservation during my stay). Arrived 2045hrs on a Sunday, and there was only one other table at the time. Despite listing as closing at 2130hrs on a Sunday, the restaurant became suddenly about halfway through my meal! A very popular place in the neighbourhood. Street parking - residential area is free in the evenings if you're willing to walk or paid Green P lots and street parking. Steps from Greenwood TTC Station -- Update. Saturday nights are very busy! Reservations recommended. Capable of larger parties (a group came in for a reservation for 15). The kitchen is very efficient! My order came out right away (appetizer first, main promptly after completing appetizer). They were also constantly pumping out takeout orders for delivery pickups. Chef Mo's pad thai was great! Enjoyed it with pork belly.(Pictured) And they have a menu explaining all of the spices (Pictured) Spring rolls were good but price maybe a little steep for the portion. I'd still order them again though!

The food is great, really, really good! The presentation is beautiful. The atmosphere is great. The only down side is the pressure: when I booked it didn't say that one will have the table only for 1 1/2 hour. It's a "little "rushed for (Saturday) dinner. The food came very quickly, but they took the plates quickly as well. Actually only my son finished eating, my partner and I had lots of food on our plates- and they cleared my son's and asked us if we finished. With the shared desert (mango with sweet sticky rice- excellent!) my partner was still eating- and they came to clear the table. And without us asking for the bill- gave it to us. We felt very rushed the all meal - so we really didn't have a relaxed dinner. After we payed- we looked at the watch and we still had 20 minutes to the end of our 11/2 window. My conclusion: the food- amazing. Because they are catering as if they were a fast food place - we will definitely will take out. Maybe will try mid week eating in - if they will not have the time restriction.

When I went to the Sala kitchen the other day, I was not pleased with the experience. The food tasted alright, but there were missing flavours. It could have been more flavoured with spices and herbs. There are not many options from a vegan point of view. They do state "vegan" in their menus. However, it does necessarily mean it is vegan. The service took very long. I guess it was busy that day. Overall, it could be better for the future. Not the best.

★★★★★

I loved not only the presentation but the authentic flavors. This is a vegan friendly restaurant and they serve halal meat too. The Khao Soi Beef Rib was magical. The meat was so tender and the sauce was so incredibly delicious. The king prawn dish absolutely blew me away. I honestly thought they were giant lobster tails. 😅 Every part of my experience here was perfection. A couple of us gathered for a birthday celebration and this restaurant did not disappoint;I will definitely visit again!

We had the pleasure of dining at this beautiful tThai restaurant. Stunning decor with elements of Thailand. Clean and neat setting. The food was nothing short of amazing. All dishes are so good and flavorful, the presentation was impeccable. The portion sizes were generous, we all truly satisfied and content. The service not only attentive and professional, the staffs were also incredibly friendly and helpful. They check us out from time to time and to make sure we got everything right and with our satisfaction. Good food good price ! This place is a must-visit if you looking for great authentic Thai food~ We will be back !

The green curry was packed with flavor especially the veg and tofu. It had a variety of veggies with a creamy broth. The flavor palettes come in every table if you want your dish more tangy, spicy or sweet. The roti pancakes are also not bad filled with nutella and banana!

We were a table of 5 - and we all agree the food and service and the food was fantastic! We had a range of dishes, which our hospitable server helped put together. We had calamari, spring rolls to start - both amazing! Followed by Pas See Ew, Tom Yum Fried Rice, Khao Soi, and Penang Beef. We then had dessert - I especially loved the mango ice cream. Im already looking forward to returning.

This restaurant is really immersive. You feel like you are in a small restaurant in Thailand. The size of the space is very intimate. Even though it is a smaller space, they were able to accommodate our party of 12. I had the red Thai curry with beef and it felt like it was made with love. Curry was not overly pungent, and well seasoned.

I was fixed on having Thai food that weekend on our way back from St. Jacobs Market. The original plan was to eat at a Thai restaurant in Etobicoke to break up the long drive. Instead, we made it all the way back before we started feeling hungry. We got to Sala later that evening and there were tables available immediately with parking right outside. As it was later in the evening, the picture of the pad ma kher spoke to me as theres large chunks of eggplants, which made me think it will be on the lighter option. Because of this reason, we ordered the khao soi with beef rib and pad ma kher. The pad ma kher arrived first and to my surprise (pleasant surprise!) theres a lot more meat in the dish than in the picture on the menu. This dish was very flavourful and goes so well with rice. The beef rib in the khao soi was so tender and there was so much meat. I thought I wasnt hungry, boy was I wrong! Between the 2 of us, we almost polished the plates!

Hands down the best Thai food restaurant in Toronto, GTA, possibly Canada. Everything was just absolutely perfect. You must try out this place if you live in GTA or visiting Toronto. Every single dish was beautifully presented and my tastebuds were in heaven. I can t say enough how delicious the dishes were. We had 4 appetizers, 4 main dishes and dessert and every single one was unique in their own taste and I would try all of them again. 10/10 - highly recommend. Love love love this place. And the chef came out end of the night and we got to thank her for creating such beautiful cuisines for us. It was certainly made with love :)

Small restaurant/sitting area, but atmosphere/decor is nice. This is the first Thai restaurant where I had to season my own food. Chef does not add spices etc. The seasoning/spices are placed on your table. Very odd dine-in experience..

September 22, 2024

Honestly not going to bother coming back here again, server at the front will try to gaslight you for their own mistakes. We ordered our food around 5:10 PM and we had a reservation for that time as well for two people. The table beside us arrived at 5:30 PM with 6 people and had no reservation, and placed their food around 5:40 PM. The table of 6 people get their food before us. This is very upsetting as they ordered the same dish as us, a Pad Sew Ew and a curry, but they had more people. Business is not right with this establishment, they clearly prioritize larger groups even if you ordered the food 45 mins ago. The server also blamed the chefs for being understaffed, but that doesn t make sense in this scenario. Smh never coming back here again.. the worst Thai spot I ve been to in the city. Below are some Thai restaurant recommendations that I ve had great experiences at: - Chiang Rai - Jathujak - Chiang Mai - Pai

Wow, a fantastic first-time experience! From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by the amazing service and incredible food. We ordered the Khao Soi with Beef Rib and the King Prawn Fried Rice, and let us tell you; our taste buds were dancing with joy. The Khao Soi was bursting with flavor, and the beef rib melt-in-your-mouth. So tender and oh-so-juicy, served with plenty of noodles to soak up every drop of that delicious broth. As for the King Prawn Fried Rice, we seriously thought we were served lobster instead! The prawns were massive, firm, and tender, perfectly cooked to perfection. Everything tasted so fresh that we couldn t stop craving more. We cant wait to come back and dive into more of their mouthwatering dishes. Thank you for such a memorable meal we ll be back soon!

The shrimp curry was nice, but a tad too sweet. The pad Thai too sweet, mango salad taste like candy, way to sweet. I ve been to Thailand and never experienced high sugar, perhaps western market likes it this sweet, maybe not. I d go easy on the sugar. Other than that no complaints - good portion, shrimp was large and juicy.

The beef was so soft, and the flavors were so amazing. Also, Pad Ma Kher, Green Curry, and the Calamari are incredible. Chef Mo is an amazing cook!

Probably one of the best Thai restaurants in the city! Presentation of their food is as beautiful as the flavours. Three pad thai options on the menu and none have ketchup, thankfully. I cant decide which dish on their menu is my favourite. Have not had a bad dish there. And the thoughtfulness of a tray of shot glasses on each table, with each glass full of something umami, spicy or sweet, to augment your dishs flavour to your liking, is brilliant. The staff is great and I appreciate them accommodating a birthday celebration yesterday. A not-so-hidden hidden gem on the Danforth.

I revisited your establishment with my family, drawn by the wonderful experience we had during our initial visit. Regrettably, this time around, our dinner fell short of expectations. The king prawns we ordered were served cold and soggy, and the khao san was also chilled. Additionally, out of the four main dishes we ordered, only two were brought out initially, leaving half of our party without food until much later. While I understand that the restaurant was busy, the disjointed dining experience, coupled with the subpar food quality, was quite disappointing.

Reserved a table for 8:30PM and showed up right on time. All the tables were full and we were told to wait and there will be a table ready for us. Made us wait about 15 minutes and still no table for us and just ridiculous and weird facial expressions by one of their waiters to convince us to wait even more. It was absolutely obvious that all the customers who were already sitting there had no plan to leave soon and of course it wasn t their fault. We decided to leave after realizing the restaurant has no respect for the customer s time and overbooked just to make more money! Why do they promise a reserved spot when they don t have any available one?! Regarding your irresponsible reply: You shouldn t have booked us when you didn t have any table available! It took us around an hour to get there because we were promised a spot on 8:30PM!

We went here for the first time based on some TikTok reviews. This is a busy place on a Saturday night. Make a reservation. We got lucky without one, mainly because the owner and staff were very accommodating. We started with the spring rolls and Thai calamari. Both were delicious. We then moved on to the Panang Curry, Massaman Beef, and the famous Khao Soi Beef Rib. The orders came out efficiently and hot. Great flavors, with large portions. We all had some left over to take home. As full as we were, we still had to try their non dairy deserts. A combo of coconut, mango, and banana ice creams. Sprinkled with cashews and peanuts. Then the Mango Sticky Rice. There were absolutely no leftovers of these deserts. We will definitely be back to try out more items from their menu. This will be our go-to Thai place from now on.

April 22, 2024

I expected so much more from the reviews. The atmosphere is nice ,though the seats are not comfortable. I ordered the spring rolls to start and was disappointed as they had no flavor and it was a regular sweet and sour sauce to pair it with. I tired the fish oil sauce with it and it was better but to salty. Next I got the Panang curry with chicken. Definitely not what you see in the picture. The eggplant portion was cut in half and im pregnant and was definitely looking forward to the big eggplant pieces it shows in the pictures and it wasn t panang. Had 0 tastes of peanut but more of a masala taste. I m also disappointed it was just spicy . Which i usually love but it should ve been given a option. Overall was dissatisfied wasn t Great but wasn t to bad, its still Thai food but not worth the hype for the food I ordered in my opinion: Thai food is very good at perfecting the peanut sauce and the fact they weren t was a very big let down

Great place for Thai food! Loved the food here. The ambience is cute too. The decor is really nice and gives great cozy vibes. Tried their khow suey and pad gra pao. Both were great. However will definitely recommend trying their mango sticky rice dessert. It s the best thing on their menu. I loved their chilli oil assortments on the table in small shot glasses. Will come back again to try other options on their menu.

Authentic Thai food by Thais! During our search for the best Thai restaurant in Toronto, we discovered a hidden gem that exceeded our expectations. The tender meat effortlessly fell off the bone, and the pineapple fried rice with tiger prawns was an explosion of contrasting yet harmonious flavors. Homemade ice cream with Roti was also unique and delicious.

They used to have a separate vegan menu, it was amazing. Their food is divine and I loved going here. Now the menu has changed and the only thing listed as vegan is the mango salad. I called to confirm, and the person was trying to help but did state that you have to go through the menu yourself and indicate no egg, etc, and presumably no fish sauce also. This is much more work and much more risky on terms of human error. Sadly Ill be going elsewhere for Thai food.

Came on Saturday and it was packed. We arrived here around 7pm, and were told that it would be 30 mins to 1 hour wait for table for 3. The host got our number and said that they will call us when its our turn. Food was amazing here. Grilled pork neck: Good snap to the pork neck, and we had fun trying most of the flavour boosters that were on the table, but the best sauce was the one that came with the dish. Massaman Beef Rib: They really give you a big chunk of meat with this dish. Very good flavours. Kheaw Waan Curry with Chicken: Very nice green curry Thai Roti: This isnt your thin roti, this is more like an indian paratha, its very flaky and goes very well with any saucy dish or curries. Taking one star off for atmosphere, because it could be better. This restaurant is a gem and its very popular, but they have such a small space, theres probably 12 -15 tables at the restaurant. They really should expand their space based on how popular they are. Tables are also really close to each other, and it does get loud from time to time. I would not recommend this place for date nights. Parking: Theres parking along Danforth, or you can try to park in the side streets. 1hr limit from Monday to Saturday from 9am to 6pm.

I agree with what the reviews about their curries. There was barely any meat and it was mostly sauce and veggies. Like if you are going to charge $20 for a curry, just add more meat. Also, chicken is much cheaper than other meat. They also use smaller containers for their curries. Also, what is up with the limited choices? no beef? no pork? We order 4 dishes and it was pretty all chicken.. Had to pay extra to get shrimp to get some variety. Their noodles are fair portion but then, it is mostly carbs.

The Pad Thai is salty missing the sweet and sour taste and also not even a hint of the tamarind flavour at all. The noodles are too soft and clumpy. The Papaya Salad has a good balance of sweet, salty and sour with a punch from the chilli. Mixing the Pad Thai with the Papaya Salad made the Pad Thai taste better. Food

We went to Sala Modern Thai for dinner. The food was delicious. We had the khao soi w/ tofu, tom yum pad thai with chicken and the vegetarian spring rolls. The khao soi broth was delicious, with a depth in flavour. The noodles were bouncy and tender. The pad thai however lacked the depth in flavour I have experienced with at other pad thai. My favourite bite was the crispy spring rolls - tightly rolled and jam packed w/ vegetables and noodles. My favourite addition to the meal were their table side home made sauces. The service however was lacking. We were told to move tables after we had sat down and served water and our appetizer. Our plates were removed even before we finished. Furthermore, despite asking for water twice it was not served. In the future, I would most likely do take out as the flavours are definitely worth another visit.

IN POOR TASTE Took a friend for his birthday dinner. The owner said save room for desert Then she came over to our table after dinner and asked us if we would like some ice cream. Ive been in the restaurant biz all my life, and eat out in Thai restaurants weekly. Its quite common to get complimentary ice cream even on a non birthday outing. They brought three little sample flavors of ice cream with a Roti pancake. That desert came to 26.50! They discounted us 11.00 for the roti pancake but charged us 16.50 for the sample that she initiated at the top of the evening because of the birthday reservation. Bizarre and a little petty. Aside from that, it was a very nice evening and the service is always great. Despite the fact that they over sugar their curries, and many of their dishes fall short in the veg department , the gesturing to look after my friend at desert time which translated into pricing that is even more than their average main entrée questions logic and good buissness practice. I will look elsewhere for other Thai ventures. R

Really good Thai restaurant in the east end. Came on a Friday and got seated immediately as we had a reservation for 4 at 6:30PM. It was really busy when we walked in and it looked like they were fully booked for the night. We ordered a pad see ew with pork belly, pad thai, Khao soi and the roti pancake for dessert. All the mains were really good and came out quickly. The pad see ew was my favorite dish of the night and getting the pork belly is a must! I wouldnt recommend the roti pancake as I was expecting it to come out warm/hot, but it was disappointingly cold. Would highly recommend and come back.

I used to love this place. But a recent Uber Eats order means I will not come again - we ordered pad see ew, fried rice, and masaman beef curry. First off - we got two fried rice and no pad see ew. Second, the meat in the rice was fatty and inedible. Third, the beef curry was full of frozen potatoes and chunks of connective tissue. Absolutely terrible experience from a place that I once held out as a go-to. At least the steamed rice was fine. But only just fine. For a meal that cost almost $100, this is an absolute disgrace.

My first time in Toronto, and I had to stop by at THEE Sala s Thai Kitchen. I was recommended by a YouTuber who goes by the name Shoshana Rose, and when I tell you, I had the absolute best fine dining time here! I tried the pork belly Sala Pad Thai dish alongside the homemade ice cream. The Sala Pad was so sweet, tender, and tasty, with the well-known infamous chili oil; the homemade coconut ice cream was absolutely delicious; I loved the consistency of the cream; the nuts complemented the dessert so well; and I loved the presentation of the dessert as well!
