Not sure how or why or when, but this place ended up on my Google list of "To Try At Home" and because I was getting hangry at the AMNH, I was excited to walk the 7 minutes to try this place out. We came early enough to get a table (~5PM) on a Sunday evening, but they were already super busy by 6PM with almost every table full. With their two two levels of dining area, they have exquisite gold decor with beautiful intricate patterns and motifs along the wall, and their light fixtures are cute as well. The only thing a bit odd about the decor was their use of COVID-remnant plexi-glass dividers to maximise the number of tables in the restaurant.The menus had a lot of items, but we were intrigued by the specials, some of which I hadn't heard of before. For appetiser, we got the:-Papaya salad-Special that was made of some gelatinous mushroom, mint lotus root, shrimp, and grape tomato in a fish sauceand for the entrees we went with:-The claypot duck special with shitake mushrooms, red dates, and lotus root-Chicken pad kee maoand shared a jasmine pearl tea which was fragrant and impressive that it tasted better than the dragon pearls I had at home (which I spent top dollar on!).The two appetisers were impeccable, but might not be good for those who are averse to fish sauce. The appetiser special was a really fresh and light medley of different veggies and the shrimp added a nice protein kick. The chicken pad kee mao had a hearty helping of tender chicken and the noodles were cooked to the perfect consistency -- flat noodles with a slight chew and heat. The claypot duck reminded me of a Chinese stewed dish, which I loved. It had a sweetness and savoryness that was well balanced, and the flavour infused into the duck meat, skin, and the mushrooms.All in all, the meal was solid and I am so happy I got to cross it off the list. This will be my new Thai go to when I'm in the area!

Good food, well priced menu, good ambiance, and noise on the louder side!Made reservations for 7:30 pm and were seated promptly at our time. Place was packed to capacity. Good bar, and pretty tight seating at this rather dimly lit place with noise levels of diners easily beating that of the music.Ordered a few things from the winter specials menu which included a very tasty Corn Soup Bowl ($15) which came with a buttery garlic bread and the Tofu Prig Klua ($15) which was a tasty appetizer, and Tom Yum Koong Cup ($9). Our mains included the Green Curry with Tofu ($19), Crab Fried Rice ($24) with a generous portion of crab meat, Pad Krapraw ($18), and Kea Mao ($22). We chose a medium spice level on our mains, and the food had a good spice kick to it.Food arrives within 25 minutes or ordering, and service was excellent overall. Will definitely visit again to satisfy our thai food cravings!

Our server was friendly and the food was fast. We split three entrees and liked them all, but my personal favorite was the panang curry and my boyfriend's was the kao moo kratiam. The restaurant can get loud because the tables are tightly packed, so wouldn't recommend if you are someone looking for a quiet conversation at dinner. Overall, definitely the best Thai I've tried on the UWS!

After the Grand Bazaar we wanted to have a late lunch in the Upper West Side. We relied on yelp and found Sala Thai. The restaurant was larger inside than it looked from the outside. The menu offers a variety of Thai dishes. We started with the garden rolls. The rolls were stuffed with fresh cucumber, julienned carrots and fresh mango. They were accompanied with a peanut dipping sauce. They were very good, I prefer a plum dipping sauce, instead of peanut.One of their winter specials was corn soup. It was worm and creamy. It was very flavorful and savory, yet sweet. It came with garlic bread, so soft and great for dipping in the soup. For our entree we split chicken pad thai. The dish was very good, and had a good amount of chicken layered on top of the noodles. It was topped with bean sprouts and scallions. The portion was smaller than expected, resulting in one less star. If in the UWS, a good Thai option.

Went here for the first time tonite based on the recommendation of many people. The ambiance is absolutely beautiful. (They do manage to squeeze a ton of people to optimize space usage). Every dish we ordered was fantastic and several very unique. Service was efficient, gracious, and responsive. Highly recommend this excellent dining experience.

My friend and I decided to check out Sala Thai before going to AMNH. We made a reservation for 11:30am on a Sunday, which is when they open. It was slow for the first half hour, but then it got PACKED. The interior is stunning (minus the plastic glass table partitions), and the paintings on the walls reminded us of the paintings around the temples in Thailand that tell stories. The ambiance and prices are more suited for a fancier occasion.My friend and I ordered the curry puffs ($14), khao soi with chicken ($22), and massamun curry with chicken ($20). These are extremely high price points, which are slightly justified by the ambiance and location. The curry puffs come with 4 puffs, and the pasty was light and delectable. I would have liked slightly more flavor and texture for the curry itself, since it felt like a paste. If things have flavor, I don't tend to use sauce, but my friend tried the sauce and mentioned it elevated the dish. My friend said that the khao soi was not particularly outstanding, but it was tasty and had the flat noodles. I also found the curry to have nice flavor and appropriate heat, and I liked that the potatoes were able to melt in your mouth. Again, everything was good, but not amazing enough to justify the price.Service was highly attentive. Our waters were constantly refilled, and we actually had to ask for the check instead of them pressuring us out because they were getting busy. Our server also did multiple check backs to make sure that the food was to our taste. Overall, I do think this is a solid spot in the area, but it is pretty pricey. I wouldn't recommend it unless it's a fancy occasion or you have business in the area.
