Called the day before to reserve a table towards the back of the restaurant. We were told no problem, just come in and we'll seat you there, no need for the reservation. There were 5 in our group.Upon arrival, we were asked to sit at the first table nearest the front door. I told them we wanted the back tables and we had to insist, there were only two tables with people seated in the entire restaurant.After placing our order, everything from our appetizers , salads , side dishes and entres' we're rudely all brought out at the same time. They couldn't even find the room to put them down.It was if they were rushing us out. When we finished, only one other person came in to eat.So it wasn't as if they were pushing us out for lack of room.

Service absolutely sucks. The server was super rude and took like 10 mins to take our order. The lunch special doesn’t have the same dishes that the Saladang Garden (the Garden is better). Their veggie spring rolls are pretty bad, bad presentation, dry veggies and not very tasty. Mushroom sour soup and pad Thai are alright. I would not come back to this restaurant. I would rather go to the Garden.

Was there last night, sorry for the restaurant, business was slow but they close early around 8pm anyways. The upside is that, it is quiet and you can chat with friends and family.Restaurant is nice and clean, service is so-so, sometimes forgot my order.Food is good and you need to know it is American Thai food not authentic Thai food.Environmental is relax as usual.

I hadn't been there in at least three years, and the passage of time seems to have affected the quality of the food. The yellow curry was good but the chicken added to it was not. It was all-purpose chicken that would be added to any of the dishes, and it was not good. Rubbery and with pieces of fat. The restaurant used to be so good. I hear Saladang Garden, on the other side of the parking lot (?), is good. Maybe focus on one restaurant???

I've dined at Saladang a couple of times and really enjoyed it both times. Once for lunch and once for dinner. The salad rolls are amazing (the dipping sauce is tasty) and the spicy green beans with tofu is good, too. They will accommodate vegans and leave out the meat/fish sauce on many dishes. Brown rice, too! Look for the green leaf on the menu.) I highly recommend the food, service was friendly and efficient. I look forward to returning in the future.

The portions are fair/good. The service is friendly & efficient. The dinning room is clean and guests are well spaced out.I last visited Saladang 8 and/or 10 years ago and I remember the food being more tasty. But I'll still return to this Asian restaurant in the future.

Bad service, servers who served us in the beginning seem like they dont want to work there. A server who got our order seems does not know what goes in the food. Before we ordered our food, we asked if there are any sirrantro adds in the food since one of our friends can’t eat sirrantro. She said that none of the sirrantro adds in the food. However, we saw sirrantro in our food. We tried to complain about it. None of the servers were trying to make an eye contact with me. Also, they ignored me even though they saw my hand raising up. They never came to our table for water or anything. I needed hot sauce and pepper, what to expect… keep ignoring our table.. servers seem who joined later were very pleasant. Although they did not make any mistake, i had to complain to them.I go there often with a large group of people. It was my first time getting this horrible service. Very unpleasantIf they want to continue the business, they should do something with the servers who caused this bad service.

Excellent flat rice noodles, smoky pad thai. Delicious steam rice dumplings called Pun Klip! Very good sticky rice dessert. Warmly recommend, don’t get fooled by the dull outside appearance of the building ;-)

This place has amazing food, fusing both modern techniques with traditional flavors to bring a wonderful brightness to their dishes. You may be asking, "why the one-star review then?" Well unfortunately the quality of the food hardly matters when you have the appalling service that you can come to expect here. When dining in, it is an unorganized mess of a myriad of servers, each unsure of what food you have ordered or if your food is even coming. Ordering online is an even worse debacle if that can be believed! You may be greeted by one of many hosts who are incapable of communicating the problem to you clearly. When you do finally wring an answer from a manager, they will inform you that they placed their orders on hold. Despite successfully placing an order for pickup two hours ahead of time, I was told "Take it up with DoorDash" before being told to "F*** off". Such a shame.

We ordered the vegetable egg rolls and stuffed chicken wings for appetizers and the chicken drunken noodle and beef fried rice for entrees! Service was great and fast, taste was delicious. The Thai Tea was good too!
