Saladang Song

03/25/2008 Posted by 310lagirl

I am not much of a thai food fan, but a good friend had her engagement party a Saladang Tsong this past sunday and it made me a convert. The food was excellent-- very flavorful, sweet and spicy. Had a chance to sample the chicken satay (average but good), beef salad (spicy and satisfying), and salmon choo chee (yum!). There was also a salad with a sweet clear dressing that was incredible and I plan on going back to see if I can get a bottle of my own! I am not sure of the prices, but I think its well worth the trip. Plus the decor of the restaurant is great and perfect for a warm summer night. Can't wait to go back there!

Pros: parking is a breeze, beautiful decor

Cons: none

I give this place an average overall because the food, while great, is usually overshadowed by somewhat lousy service. The waitresses are quite rude and abrupt. I know that Asian culture tends to be that way in some cases, but this is ridiculous. This place is making money HAND OVER FIST...the last thing they should do is give people - their clients - attitudes. I guess, as the saying goes, when your stomach is full, you don't give a sh--- (i.e. from an owner's point of view that is). What bothers me about the service at this place (or lack thereof) is God forbid you don't like something or there is something wrong with your food. They'll make you feel like YOU made the food go wrong OR that you have no right to complain. If you don't order something you like OR if it's not what you wanted (i.e. it turns out to be something different than what you expected), you're out of luck....the waitress will give you a blank stare and proceed to tell you that you should have known better. Uhhh...no...when it's my money they are taking from me, they will be the one's who know better. Well...anyway...it's an OK place I guess...the ambiance is good and they are always busy. At least you can go across the street and eat at Gales if you don't like it.

Pros: Nice ambiance.

Cons: Super lousy service and food return policy.

When you first enter, the atmosphere is very seductive, your seated and that's when the fun starts. Hou'rduerves are served and they offer hot or cold sake for birthday parties if needed. The service is excellent. I would recommend this restuarant to anybody who wants a good time eating Thai food. It got chilly and they abliged us with outdoor heaters, who could ask for anything more, and like I said before the food was excellent. If you could give them 10 stars I would.

Pros: All around good time eating Thai food.

Cons: Not having enough money to eat there everyday.

The management didn't even acknowledge this! When I told the waitress about the insect, she saw it and asked me if I wanted a new bowl of soup. I declined. She apologized but then did nothing to remedy the situation and did not even report this mishap to the manager. When I got my check, it was for the full amount of the bill, with no offer of any remedy for the shock and public health threat of an insect in my soup. I paid the entire check, but when the waitress came to collect the receipt, I told her I was surprised they didn't do anything to ameliorate the terrible dining experience. She still didn't offer anything, like a free meal or dessert, or even a discount. I'm can't go back after seeing the black insect swim in my soup.

I had my birthday party at this Restaurant and have a really good experience. They were able to hold more then 35 guest and I only requested for 25. I love their food choices everything tastes sooooo good! They even have a party menu for large group. They have different package whereas we can pick. Just everything is great! The only thing I can say Negative about this place is Parking.

I have been going to Saladang Song for years and absolutely love the food. Their beef salad is perfection, the meat is tender and the vegetables crisp with just the right amount of lime. The green curry with chicken and eggplant is my favorite. The decor is modern and the high ceilings open up the bright restaurant and the outdoor seating is just as beautiful with candles on the tables and a small water fountain on the side. The only thing I would change is the service. I've noticed the past few times, especially on rainy days since seating is limited to indoors, the staff appears too much in a hurry to seat the next party, making the ones still eating to feel rushed. The last time, we were a group of three and after having been served our food for about fifteen minutes, five different servers came by to ask if we needed a box. After the fourth "inquiry" it just became silly. All in all, I would still continue to go back for the food, but please work on the service - granted it was raining.

I dine out quite a bit both for pleasure and business so I consider myself to be a good judge when it comes to the overall restaurant experience. My family and I frequently go to the original restaurant Saladang. This was our first visit to the so called sister restaurant. The waitress brought 3 incorrect dishes out. When she brought the first "screw up" of the night, I kindly told her that we ordered the chicken dish and not seafood. The waitstaff made a terrible scene and would not take the dish back. I have never been to a restaurant where the customer wasn't right. The management made us keep the dish and pay for it on top of that. Since they realized they were in the wrong, at the end of the meal our waiteress disappeared. I had to ask someone to please give us our bill and then they took the time to ask us if we wanted any coffee or dessert. We did not receive one apology. My family and I are not the kind of people to ever make a scene or cause any sort of inconvenience, but in this case I was pretty furious. I will never step foot in this restaurant again even though the food is decent.

Cleanest thai restaurant I've been to. Their curries are so delicious! I actually like the more authentic restaurant out of the two.

I've been to both Saladang and Saladang Song. Saladang Song is perfect for nice and romantic dinner. The restaurant(patio) is beautiful and ambience is fantastic. Their dishes are very nicely presented. Their waitstaffs are very friendly. If you're concerned about presentation and ambience (date/taking out your friends), this is the place. If you're looking for good thai food in casual environment, go to the next door Saladang. Both Saladang and Saladang Song dishes are delicious and great, but just their ambience is different.

Pros: Delicious food, friendly staff, beautiful patio
