The best Thai I have ever eaten!

by VinceW1975 at Citysearch

I lived in Pasadena for 10 years before I moved and I have yet to find better food than Saladang. Saladang is the most consistent restaurant I have ever eaten at. The service was always awesome. And the food was always good. When I come back it will be on my things to do in LA list. I miss you Saladang!!!!

• Pros: Too many to list.
• Cons: Parking only issue.

Saladang...great Thai, perhaps the best but terrible service staff

by Falfals at Citysearch

Hands down, this is the best Thai food around Los Angeles. The appetizer of calamari is out of this world! Just ask for extra sauce. Do not expect wait staff to be warm and fuzzy, they are as cold as the cement floor of this place! Do not go to Song...sister restaurant next door. It has a much better ambiance, but the food is just not as great!

Happy Eating...I tell no lies.

• Pros: the best Thai food in Los Angeles
• Cons: cold, robotic wait staff and owner

My experience was terrible food, even worse service, and absolutely the worst attitude I've seen from servers in ages

by j49jimbo at Citysearch

My co-workers and I go to lunch once each month and this month it Saladang. We had been anxiously waiting for a few weeks since Thai hadn't been our choice for a long time. I was assured it was "the best" around. I guess "delicious is on the palate of the beholder". My Tom Yung Goon (sp) was absolutely the worst I have ever tasted. There was no zip to it, no spice and no flavor. The stuffed chicken wings were not bad, but when I asked for a bit of cucumber to go with it I was told it was $2.00. My companion asked for more peanut sauce for the satay - $2.00, a bit more dressing for the salad - $2.00. One of my co-workers waited for 10 minutes before being served his lunch - 10 of us were eating and he had nothing. No explanation, no apology and lots of attitude. When the check was delivered I asked for a menu to take along so I could have each of us chip in for their meal, I was practically brow beaten by the management - and the final answer was NO. Ambiance: so loud it was like being in an airplane and we were packed into a table with no clearance for wait staff and were constantlly being banged into the entire meal. The good points: A nice lazy susan for sharing, but who would want to!! A few of my friends have "Thai Tuesday" every week and we try different places - SALADANG will never be on the list. Suffice it to say, I'll never return, but others rave. Must be "taste" challenged.

• Pros: Lazy Susan for sharing but who would want to.
• Cons: Everything but parking

It is difficult for me to give this place even one star

by lizwombocker at Citysearch

I can not explain the horrible service I received at Saladang. How this place has 5 stars I will never know. Their service was distasteful, rude, and insulting. They do not state the prices up front, be careful for upgrades. They commonly will ask you if you'd like either chicken/meat/vegetables/combination dishes without telling you that there is an upgrade price when they are all bracketed together. A simple dish of curry/rice/or pad thai will jump from the price of 7.50 to 39.50. You must be careful, they will not fix their errors. They will not let you speak to a manager. They will insult you. Their food was awful. When you ask them to fix your food and correct your order if you ordered it spicy, they will go and make it unbearably spicy just to mock you. I have never been treated so poorly in all my life, my friends have never been treated so poorly in all their lives, do NOT be their next victim. DO NOT dine here. I also found hair in my food. They don't let you even talk to a manger. Save your money, your time, your spirit, your heart, and your wallet. Do not contribute to a place that does not care about customer service. One member started to choke from spicyness of the food and asked for water and the water person loitered around and talked to another customer and brought the water 6 minutes later. It was awful, do not go here, ever!

• Pros: There are none
• Cons: They overcharge you/They are rude/ Poor customer service/Awful food

When Mediocre Restaurants Become Lousy

by firecracker0110 at Citysearch

This was never a great restaurant and now it has become lousy. Lousy service & mediocre food. Definitely overpriced. The waitresses were rude, looked at me if I was crazy when I asked for chopsticks and more water. At the end of the meal, after waiting 15 minutes, I asked where our leftovers were. There was confusion & finally 5 minutes later, they brought a bag over. I decided to check & sure enough, it wasn't our food. We brought it to the front and complained. There was more confusion and they had no idea what the hell they were doing. After 10 more minutes of waiting around we decided to leave and never go back. Saladang didn't even offer to make it up to us.

Citysearch give wrong information

by jdlfl at Citysearch

It's a birthday party for my friend, we hope to get the best Thai food in town. As always, we searched from citysearch begining to worst night. The citysearch giving wrong infomation of Saladang and Saladang song phone number and address, which made us got wrong reservation place and a bun of us got to the wrong place, and when i got the Saladang they said there is no our reservation. We found out that our booked at Saladang Song because the phone number providing by citysearch is wrong. There are very confusing in formation of citysearch the famous web-searching.. Also,the citysearch gave the award of best Thai food 2004 to Saladang I wonder that it really mean Saladang or Saladang Song?

Worst thai restuarant, waste of my money and evening there

by timbersat at Citysearch

I went today after reading nice reviews. But was totaly dissappointed. Dont go there if you are looking for a thai restuarant. Ordered Tom Yum soup. This one can easily bottom my list of the ones I tried. Ordered Cat fish, But that was not a thai dish. Very sweet and fish was kind of hard. You wont find the spicy thai dishes, you normaly wish for. Only thing good was the sizzling beef. I would not want to go back there to waste my money.

• Cons: bad cooking

consistently delicious Thai

by joanovarq at Citysearch

Don't be fooled by the toothpick-thin waitresses and industrial warehouse decor; this place has very good Thai food. I always get the chili basil leaves with beef -- it's exceptional! They also have many creative and delicious specials. One note of caution: their pad thai is just average (it's served omelet-style with the egg on the outside) so I'd stick with their other noodle dishes, curries or "hot stuff" dishes.

• Pros: cheap, delicious Thai food
• Cons: industrial warehouse decor
