Sala Thai

I went to this restaurant for lunch by myself and ordered Pad Thai. The food was good but it was a bit soggy for me. If they can reduce the sauce then it would be perfect. There was no wait since it's lunch and during weekday. The interior design is special which bring up some kind of vintage vibe. I haven't tried other food so I am not sure about them. But so far, would recommend if you come here for Pad Thai and, if possible, ask them to reduce the sauce a bit. I came from Southern California where there are more Asian foods so maybe that's why I have a bit higher expectation, but I think overall this restaurant is still very good.

Sala Thai is a good Thai restaurant in Rancho Cordova (off Zinfandel) with a very quiet and peaceful atmosphere. I have been here twice for lunch on the weekend and both times, it was not very busy. We were able to get a table right away. Although it wasn't too busy, service was a bit slow to start. The workers were in the back mostly and it was hard to flag someone down when I wanted to request something. Previously, I've ordered the Duck Curry, which I thought was okay. There wasn't too much duck and the curry was not bad. I wanted to try a different dish next time. On my most recent visit, I ordered the Pineapple Fried Rice, which was really good! It came with large shrimp and chicken, which were really nice. I loved the pineapple chunks and the flavor of the rice dish. I also tried the Green Curry with chicken and the curry was really tasty. There was some inconsistency with their dishes. One time I tried the Garlic Lover with chicken and it was outstanding. Another time, I tried the same dish, and it must not have been cooked right because it lacked flavor. I ordered the Thai coffee and did NOT like it. I probably should have gotten the Thai Tea.Overall, my experiences at Sala Thai were not bad. The food was some hit and some miss. The service was sometimes good and sometimes a bit slow. The atmosphere was very serene and peaceful, which I really enjoyed. We also stayed awhile and they didn't rush us to leave until they closed.

We go here 3 or 4 times a year. I always order the cucumber salad; it is sweet and sour and the cucumbers are crunchy good. Tip: The cucumber salad is not listed under "salads", but is listed under side dishes ($3.99). There are a lot of items on the menu. I don't like really spicy food, so I'm careful to check the heat level. That being said, you can ask for a "mild" spicy level on many of the dishes. One of the dishes I enjoy is the "Garlic Lover", which is garlic and black pepper served over steamed vegetables ($14.50). I have been happy with every dish that I have had from this restaurant over the years. The only complaint I have had is that on a few different occasions, the vegetables have been a bit sloppily chopped and left in large pieces, so maybe a bit more attention to food prep would be nice.The servers are friendly and welcoming. The inside is pleasant with nice decor, but the seats are worn and should be replaced. So although we come here and enjoy it, I would be hesitant to bring others here just for that reason. Doesn't give a very good impression.

Good food. Nice decor but showing a little wear and tear.Friendly staff. The best Thai food I've had in Rancho Cordova. Reasonable prices.

I had their pork drunken noodles. Very tasty, and cooked perfectly. The service sucked. I didn't get any damn water refills and they never went back to my table. Ambiance was nice.

Great service, and the ambiance has an older traditional feel to it. Clean and welcoming inside. I ordered the Broccoli Dish and Fresh Rolls. The rolls were very fresh and had great flavor. I liked they served two different sauces with the dish. My broccoli and chicken was amazing. The sauce was perfect. The chicken was tender and prepared perfectly. Very happy with my visit, I will be back again.

Online ordered the chicken pad thai and it was delicious, very flavorful and filling! Service was quick- I walked in and was immediately helped. Interior of the restaurant was very nicely decorated. Would recommend!

Of the several options for Thai cuisine...Sala Thai is one of my top three spots. Nice location, plenty of parking and it feels nice there. Love the decor. The folks there are always smiling and provide great service. The price point is fair and the food is delicious. I've had so many different dishes and they haven't disappointed me yet.

Cheap. Everything tastes good like the pad Thai, Tom kha, and the Thai iced tea. Everything costs near 10 dollars and fills you up fast.

I really liked it. I thought the service was good. The ambience is really outstanding. If you wanna impress someone with the feel of like you're in authentic Asian place this will be the spot. I got plenty of refills on my water. Service is very kind and friendly great food great flavor. Great taste came out really quick Love their chicken sauté would I eat here again most definitely.
