Sala Thai Cuisine - Rochester Hills

I have been raving about this restaurant since it’s opened. I have recommended countless people there over the years by telling them it is the very best Thai restaurant. We were just there recently with a group of 7 people. Upon walking in we are greeted with a sign saying that a 18% tip is automatically going to be added to our bill. We would always tip at least 20% or more, but when mandated I will never go above that. Then we ordered our food, it arrived delicious as always, and accompanied by one container of rice filled half way at best. When it was gone, immediately, we asked for more rice. She returned with the bowl about 25% full. Again, with 7 people rice goes fast. We again asked for some more, we were then told “ you have to pay now for all this rice” she brought another 25% full container. Then we got the bill, not only did we pay for the rice she told us about, but also paid for the little bit we got as as initial refill. I love the food at this restaurant, but service, price, and silly rules like not allowing gift cards on holidays will keep me from coming back again or recommending people again.

I got Gang gai, red curry, it was okay I think it has a bit too much coconut milk but it's not bad. The portion was great for the price, I ordered extra chicken and ate for 3 meals. One concern is the spicy level differences in food. Currys have dairy in it so the medium spicy level goes down quite a bit, I thought it was pretty good spicy level! But in noodles my tablemate ordered Drunken Noodle in same spicy level, medium, and it was too spicy and a bit salty.

The drunken noodles were good. Not the best I’ve had but I was happy to eat it. The reason I gave it 5 stars is because if the SS8 Pad Ma Kher. I’m not a huge fan of eggplant but that dish was amazing. The flavor was so good. The quantity was a little less for the price but the quality was there

Friday lunch, wasn't crowded. Outdoor patio seating was open. Food was delicious and fresh, exactly what we asked for.. Drinks and sushi were good as well. Parking could be a hassle during peak hours but you can manage it with parking located at the back of the restaurant. Overall good experience!

Nice thai food blended with indian spices. The appetizers were great. The philly roll sushi is the best I have tried in the area. Update: We recently had dinner here and the food is still delicious but they now add 18% gratuity to the bill without asking. This is ridiculous.
