  • 4/5 Wai C. 3 years ago on Google • 1023 reviews
    Fried samosa triangle puff 4 stars Nice and crispy. Filling is a to bit bland but still tastes good Steamed dumplings 4.5 stars These are pretty standard for dumplings but they are elevated with crispy fried garlic and their dumpling sauce is good Pad see ew 4.5 Drunken seafood fried rice 4.5 Drunken noodles 4.5 All the above are good choices. I found this after eating all 3 my mouth felt like there was too much seasoning though. Too much salt and sugar. So best to eat in moderation. We did have some service issues though. The person serving was very friendly but not very professional. We did not get one of the items we ordered though we are not charged for it. By the time they spoke with us, they said the kitchen was closed. There were other service issues but that's an example.

    It is really sad to see the state of this restaurant, because it has gone down hill quite a lot since I was a regular. I used to go here twice a week and came back since I was in the area. Not only has the quantity of food been more than halved, the protein to carb ratio in the food is non existent and the prices have gone way up. And the quality is even worse than that, I got the spiciest they offer on chicken pad Thai and got a noodle dish with very little flavor or heat. We also got an order of samosas and crab Rangoons, with both being under cooked and under filled. The goons were not even fried enough for the dough to be cooked through. I know it is rough times for businesses everywhere, but at some point the quality is just too poor to look past. As it stands I can't recommend anyone get food here and I hope that they are able to turn it around.

    Not a huge fan of Thai food. However, I thought the quality of Spicy Chicken and Rice I received was great and tasty. I'll echo some of the other reviews and share that I agree that the portions are not great especially for the price. I definitely had room for more protein. The servers were great!

    The food tasted good. I just wish there was more of it. I echo the other more recent reviews that my portion size was very disappointing. It just didn’t seem like a reasonable trade off for the price. For $14 and some change, I expected a bit more. As soon as they handed me my to-go order I thought this is incredibly lightweight even before I opened my box. I would understand the cost if I knew they did fresh-never-frozen and high quality ingredients but I have a feeling they don’t (and that’s okay but not for this cost). If this is what they offer than I’d rather go to another local Thai restaurant that is about the same price that’ll atleast give me a proper serving. Salween has always had a loyal following but competition is tough.

    Five star for the pleasant staff in the restaurant and the grocery store which was located right beside it. The food I ordered which was pad thai was not what I expected it would taste as I'm used to authentic thai food. It was too sweet.

    Enjoyed the dine in food. The spice level is true spice and the appetizers were yummy although I didn’t care too much for the dumplings. They don’t take AMEX cards here.

    Some of the best Thai food in town. A little less spicy than other locations, but so yummy! Highly recommend the pad Thai and the yellow curry.

    Had the pad-ka-pao and it was very good. In spite of being the only server, front desk person for takeout, and taking call in orders, the server was incredibly personable and helpful. This is a classy place to eat. Spice is customizable from 0-10 with 4/5 being comparable to a spicy Mexican meal. The server shared that someone had recently ordered a “25” recently and ate it with no trouble. If you’ve ordered this, please share. If I were to make any recommendations it would be to give your server samples of all of your dishes so she can give her opinion when asked.

  • 1/5 Love Hazel H. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered Soup for 12 bucks, it showed up half empty, none of the vegetables it was supposed to have in it, I ordered a 3 level spice out of 10, and it was so spicy I could barely eat it, not to mention a weird sweet after taste. The chicken satay was dry and cold. Would not recommend. These people are crooks.

    Great Thai restaurant specially for the price. friendly staff, great tasting food which is reasonably expensive. I noticed their shelves full of delivery orders which means the place is really popular. They do have a limited parking space which results in many patrons parking on the street, etc.

    The atmosphere is relaxed and casual. I have never been here where there was a wait to dine-in. The servers are quick and attentive. The food comes out quick and warm. Also, the food is very consistent. The only minor draw back (I would give this place 4.5 stars if I can) is the temprature; it can be fairly cold in there.

    Ordered takeout. Got Drunken ramen noodles combination spice level 3. It was delicious perfectly done well flavored and spice was right for me. Also got fried dumpling, and wontons both done very well and dipping sauce was very good. Highly recommend and the prices where reasonable for the quality of food you get

    We really enjoyed our visit to Salween. It was recommended to us by a colleague and they were right! The food was fresh, the service was great and it's a good value. I wanted to try something new and the helpful server suggested the Pad See Yew. It was delicious and I will definitely be ordering it again in future. We also got a Thai iced tea and the green papaya salad, which I really like and was really fresh and tasty, though my hubby isn't a fan of the fish sauce taste. The spring rolls were okay, but the mango fried rice was also good. Overall a very good experience and we'll certainly be visiting again in future.

    The food was good. The only complaint I had was the rice was dry on the sides. It was hard to touch. Rest of the foos was very tasty.

  • 1/5 Sabrina M. 11 months ago on Google
    The food was just ok but no one ever checked in with us. We were sharing entrees. Were never given extra bowls or plates. Twenty percent was automatically added which I never would have given due to lack of attention. Had to flag down server to get anything after they dropped food. I've had better $100 meals at Dennys

    Food was average, I’ve had better. Nonetheless, my server was attentive.
