Went on a weekday noon time with some folks from my office. It was a good idea that we had booked a table ahead of time, because the place was packed.

For the main course, you need to select the level of spiciness, probably best not to go adventurous on it as it can get really spicy.

My main course was Basil Chicken with a side of rice. It was very tasty and had good flavour.

I also tried the Vietnamese iced tea and it was excellent.

The staff are very helpful and fast.

I came on a weekday night and it was pretty busy, but not loud. The food was great value and flavour for the price, and Salad King is my new go-to when I don't know where to eat in the area! The curry was delicious and filling, and I recommend the chicken satay skewers as an appetizer - the peanut sauce really makes the dish pop! The waitress was nice and came to refill our water and check in often. Overall a great place if you're a student or go with a group of friends with good pricing and lots of seating!

Located near Toronto’s Eaton Center, Salad King focuses on Thai-inspired cuisine, offering a harmonious blend of spiciness, sweetness, and coconut fragrance. The Seafood Curry features tender squid and vegetables simmered in a rich coconut milk and chili sauce, allowing proteins and fats to merge for a velvety texture. The Crispy Beef Panang pairs the sweet and spicy essence of Panang curry with deep-fried beef, yielding a pleasing contrast of crunch and savory depth. Meanwhile, the Chicken Pad Thai employs fish sauce, tamarind paste, and crushed peanuts to achieve a nuanced interplay of sour, sweet, and salty, further enriched by eggs and vegetables for a balanced flavor profile.

I must’ve come on a bad day because:

1) The service was basically non-existent. The host looked bored at the host stand while on his phone and the server took quite some time to come to our table. When she finally did, she displayed zero interest in us

2) The food was mediocre at best. The “phud Thai” was nothing to write home about; although I’ve had their green curry and that was far better than their noodles

The only great thing I’m seeing so far is really their location; it’s a very good one but everything else is mediocre. There are many other Thai restaurants downtown Toronto that will treat you better and feed you better!

Good old Salad King! I haven’t been to Salad King since 2009/2010, when their original location went through the fire. This spot was very popular amongst us Ryerson folks and I love how they are still in the same area! So all students can experience it. I mean, yeah the prices have increased but it’s a right of passage.
So fast forward 15 years, here I am! I decided to try Linda’s signature crispy beef panang. It was ok, honestly, not that crispy. The batter is sitting in the curry, which made it soggy. I guess from my first year of university till now, my taste buds have changed since trying other Thai restaurants in the city. This was just average, wouldn’t order it again. I think got the 5 chili option? Didn’t think it was that hot. There were a lot of veggies though, the portion size is great.. but the flavour was not what I was expecting.
Service was ok, very slow though. I don’t think I’d return for a while. But I hope all the students love this place as much as I did.
