The food in Sala Thong was absolutely delicious We booked a table for 8 o’clock and when we arrived we were told that the people before us hadn’t finished there meal and could we come back in 20 minutes that we were happy to do we returned in 20 minutes and showed to our table after we finished our main course we asked for the dessert menu and was told we couldn’t have desserts as the kitchen was closed for 9:30 and it was now 9:35 ☹️ it would have been nice if someone had told us the kitchen was closing and asked if we wanted any desserts as the only reason we were there later was to suit them not us but that was the only thing we weren’t happy with as the rest of the service and the door was lovely we will try again

Really nice and a cosy restaurant to satisfy your Thai taste buds Three of us went here on a busy Saturday night and had a really nice experience. The staff are really polite & respectful. The wait time is well within the acceptable region, despite the busy time slot. The food is tasty, reasonable sizes and presented very nicely. I highly recommend Sala Thong if you are near Cambridge.
There is ample paid street car parking around that is if you are driving. Thank you.

Some of the best Thai food I’ve had outside of Thailand.
wonderfully cooked hom Mali rice
fishcakes – made in house with a wonderful texture, 10/10
red curry chicken – very coconut rich, nice gentle heat, deeply flavoured, a bit more fresh Thai basil would have made it perfect in my opinion, 9/10
dry curry belly pork – strong umami flavour vur not very interesting otherwise, missing the kaffir lime aroma, I do like the pop of the small eggplants though, 8/10
second time around:
all the dishes our party ordered were oversalted unfortunately

Been here a couple times. Quality ingredients, flavorful food, but very salty and a little pricy for rice.
Taste wise, personally I think it’s better seasoned and spiced than the bland but instagrammable G* Squid, although the sodium level is too high.

Tried steamed sea bass. Nice huge fish. More special than other dishes and feels healthier. The broth is sour-spicy and quite refreshing. There’s also some cabbage and veggie. Wish I had chopsticks tho. And I still insist not to pay almost 5 for rice 🙂
The pad Thai and fried udon is decent. The stir fry tofu tastes good but on the salty side as are the curries here.

Still thinking 4.5 for a bowl of rice is ridiculous. Red Curry is less salty this time fortunately. Beef is tender, with slices of butternut squash (personally I prefer chunky ones but it’s alright). Tofu looks nice too.
The ice tea is also the slimmest I’ve seen.

Panang Duck Curry is the most frequent main I order. I love the tender marinated skin-on duck breast pieces. The duck meat portion is generous, even more than the veggies. (Having been to places where potato and other fillers occupy the bowl I think this is decent.) The curry is rich but not too heavy. The only downside is I can literally taste salt…
And a bowl of rice for 4.5 is unimaginable/unacceptable for an Asian restaurant. Sometimes I just order mango rice dessert instead (sadly they refuse to substitute the ice cream flavor).
Papaya carrot salad is really spicy, in a good way.
Soup noodle and fried rice also look nice.
Fish cake is less interesting and can be quite greasy.
Depending on the hour the place can be cozy or snuggling or crowded. Service is friendly and prompt. Not my favorite in Cambridge, but duck curry isn’t so common here. Next time I’ll see if they will heed my less salt request..

We went here for a birthday and really enjoyed the food, although tasty the food was a bit expensive, especially the Sala Thong Platter was quite expensive for what you get. The staff were really nice and friendly and i would recommend this place.
The only reason why i am leaving 4 stars is because their opening and closing times are not right on google as they close at 2.30 pm and reopen later again. Our friends were running a bit late but we were told that we could stay until 3 oclock but we can only order food by 2.30

We had a great evening out and the food here is quite tasty, friendly staff and amazing atmosphere! Portions not bad and prices are fair. Their tempura prawns were delicious, never had such tasty ones. Didn’t like the duck in tamarind sauce , it was quite salty and duck was chewy/fatty. Otherwise all in all we enjoyed ourselves. Would we go there again? Yes 🙂

The food in this restaurant is amazing! Every dish we tried was delicious, and the mango sticky rice was to die for. The venue is also very pleasant and very well located. The only reason this is not a five-star review is the service, which could really be improved.

I really enjoyed our meal last night. Friendly relaxed staff. Beef masserman epic and doesn’t for me need rice as it contains potatoes! (A friend had tapioca which is an acquired taste, the mango sticky rice was just too much ontop of a starter and mains! )
We returned as a group of 4. All food and service excellent!

The quality of the food was my main concern, especially considering the quantity served. Overall, the food was just average. The staff treated us like a burden, and I did not appreciate the attitude of the waitress. We were asked to sit on the first floor, where the ambience was poor and the area was cold, which ruined our dining experience. As a result, we could not enjoy our dinner the way we wanted. Additionally, the waitress added a service charge without even asking whether we wished to pay it. In addition, we asked to pay separately which was rudely rejected by waitress. Never be back again!
