We visited for a Sunday dine-in lunch. The food is always reliable at Sala Thai. Our favorite dish is the Crispy Fish with Sweet Garlic Sauce. The battered fish is fresh and pairs perfectly with the sauce. You also cannot go wrong with the chicken Pad Thai, which was flavorful and delicious.
The photos I took do not do the food justice because we started eating immediately. We also ordered the Shrimp Tom Yum soup. It was decent, though I have had better versions elsewhere.
The atmosphere is quite noisy and busy. Despite the high volume of patrons, the servers did a great job. Overall, this is a solid spot with great food.

I tried takeout from here on a Friday evening.
I got the spring rolls, drunken noodles and red curry.
I love the spring rolls from here. The crunch..the filling.. amazing
Spring Rolls from here are a must try.
The drunken noodles and curry is a good combo.
I was feeling adventurous so I tried the medium spice and boy was it spicy.
But it was spicy good
The noodles were well cooked, the veggies were crunchy and cooked and the sauce was delicious
Overall – Sala Thai is a must visit place

We ordered Angel Wings, Drunken Noodles, and Pineapple Fried Rice. The Angel Wings were crispy and tasty. The Drunken Noodles and fried rice were good as well, though a bit too salty and saucy for my taste. I’d still come back to try other dishes. The restaurant is spacious, I barely had to wait even during peak dinner hours, and the staff was very attentive. The food also came out fairly quickly.

Great food and fast service. Come early to skip the line during lunch. I’m glad that they have an ala carte chicken katsu option since I didn’t feel like having a whole fried rice to go along with it.

This has been a locals favorite for a long time and i can see why! A pretty extensive menu with almost no faults in any of its dishes! From the beef BBQ to their curry to their fish and tom yum soup, it seems everything they do here has a lot of flavor and taste and even a little bit of spice if you even ask for it! At the time we came around 6:00 p.m. there wasn’t too many people sitting down, however by the time it was 7:00 there was a quite a little line starting to form up. As the people started to gather and fill in the tables, service started to slow down considerably. Such as some dishes not coming out at the same time or even the fact some of the white rice and water even ran out midway through the meal and waited at least 10 mins for them to appear. However, the wait is definitely worth it, especially for the beef BBQ and even the duck Curry that I tried which had a lot of flavor in both of them! Even the deep fried fish was also really good with bamboo that was a little bit spicy. Keep in mind most of the menu items are all served family style so I highly suggest that you either maybe get 3-5 bowls of white rice to complement your meal but at $4 its a tall task. I can understand the prices on some of the other menu items but every item tastes super fragrant and even a little sweet at times for both and their seasoned very well! The pineapple fried rice was also really amazing as well! Service, when they did appear, was pretty straightforward and I was very glad they were transparent about what was going on with any sort of delays as well as checking up on us once in a while. The decorations are pretty muted inside, however I think it looks like they have some sort of soundproofing around either near the windows or maybe on the roof due to some special looking foam, I thought that was pretty nice but it also contributed how well nicely laid out. The entire area is with the thai decorations and Buddhist areas around! Overall its not as bad thai restaurant in this centre area of Fremont, especially if you have a bigger group. However, they do charge a 14% service charge for 4 or more people so do adjust your tip if necessary.

I hadn’t been back here since before the pandemic, when this place was at least decent. Fast forward to now and wow — what a disappointment.
Sure, the food tastes fine. But that’s where the positives end. The portions are a rip-off for the prices they charge, and you walk out feeling cheated.
Roti Canai appetizer: $7.50 for a laughably tiny portion. Blink and you’ll miss it.
Pineapple fried rice: Flavor was decent, but the serving size was closer to 75% of what any reasonable Thai restaurant would give you.
Rice sides: $5 for a small bowl of garlic rice, $3 for plain white rice — seriously? That’s highway robbery.
This place is cashing in on higher prices while shamelessly cutting back on portions. With so many other Thai spots around, there’s zero reason to waste your money here. I’m sorry, but this place isn’t even worthy of a 3.5, let alone the 4.2 it somehow has.
Bottom line: Good taste can’t make up for being nickel-and-dimed at every turn. Unless you like paying premium prices for kid-sized portions, avoid this place.

Food: read the reviews and decided to come here for our Thai food craving. It was very busy at 7:30. The food came really quick after we ordered and I have to say this is probably by far the best Tom Kha soup I’ve had in Bay Area. Most of theirs dishes can order with your choice of meat. I usually don’t like curry but the red curry we ordered is pretty nice. The eggplant with beef is my favorite! Definitely would wanna come back and try more.
Service: the staff are still helpful even they are busy all the time.
Ambiance: casual family or friend meetups are suitable

This was our second try at sala Thai after almost an year. We felt the difference in food quality. Our order usually remains the same, pad Thai veg and chicken. But this time, we also tried yellow curry and rice, which was refreshing and aromatic. Chicken tasted amazing.
The small portion of soup was enough for two people as appetisers. It was hearty addition to entire meal. Another order was pad Thai tofu. It had dress veggies, tasted good and was medium spicy. Portion size and overall the amount of tofu added in the dish would have been more. Especially considering the price of the dish but it tasted nice.
The service was good despite being sort of a rush hour. Order arrived quickly. There was some delay in bringing the bill/ cheque to us but otherwise service was great.
Atmosphere was cozy and there were a lot of people in the hall. And even more waiting outside to be seated. So I would say the place is popular among people. But the place had a calm vibe to it despite that many people being at one place.
Overall, the experience was good and we’ll definitely give it try sometime later. Hope you enjoy this place too! Cheers
