Sahla Thai

honestly one of my favourite restaurants in town. great Thai curry and mango salad, as well as the desserts are the bomb (try the deep fried bananas with coconut ice cream)

One of my favourite restaurants… Ive been going since they opened. Gang ped yang is unreal. Service has always been top shelf. The menu has grown a little in the last few years, but menu hasn’t changed and it doesn’t need to.

I used to be a regular at this restaurant. Their mango fried rice is my favourite. The have good customer service and food tastes good for the most parts with some inconsistencies with the spice level. I am giving a one star because I went to the restaurant with a friend that was visiting me from out of town and a cockroach crawled on to my table. Haven’t gone there since.

One of the best restaurants I have ever been to. This restaurant is one of my favourites, I always come here regularly and love the food. The atmosphere is great and the location is good. The food is very quick and comes between only 4 – 10 minutes. Only problem is the price of food maybe should be lowered by a doller or two. But it’s worth it and is a great place!
I would suggest getting the pad tai level 2 or higher if you like spicy. And a chicken fried rice level 2. These are both my favourite dishes here.

The food is good… a little too good if you ask me.
I think they are putting some sort of Asian magic into the food here cause I can’t stop going here and feeding my face. I’ve blown through 3 belts

This is one of my fave places to eat when I feel like noodles. My boyfriend and I eat here quite often when we have the extra cash to spend. For two people with two apps and two meals, it did come to almost $ 50. For us this is a tad spendy for us. BUT the food is SO good, I eat my face off.

Middle of the road Thai food. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing that makes it special either.
This was a good place for client and business lunches. There was something for everyone, and it was trendy food for the masses.
The restaurant itself looks amazing, and the staff were always very friendly.
I feel it’s let down by food that’s afraid to be original and unique. Just very average Thai food.

I have a friend who swears by Sahla Thai, but it’s just not my bag. Maybe I keep ordering all the wrong things from the menu, but I’ve tried something different each time over at least 3 visits and I haven’t particularly enjoyed a single dish. I prefer Spicy Thai, which is still only maybe 3.5 to 4 stars these days. They also need to jazz things up over there, they’ve become quite stale, but I’d pick that over Sahla Thai, and in a pinch I’d prefer to walk around the corner to Amakara for Japanese over mediocre Thai food if I’m downtown.

Decent Thai fare. The salad was fresh and the lunch menu was economical and portions generous.
I’ll be back when I’m downtown!

Great menu and food at an average price. The wait staff are very knowledgeable, and the place feels really authentic in its decorations. I went on a date here once and was very impressed.

Our daughter who lives in town suggested only from word of mouth rather than personal experience. We tried (only because our fave Chang Nois was closed that day) and was very disappointed. Two meals were sent back. One tasted like it came out of the dirty dish water. And… what good Thai restaurant puts crinkle cut carrotts in their curry? Wait staff was friendly but will never go back. You know when your food comes out in 5 minutes tells a lot about freshness. No presentatioln skills at all as well. Won’t go back.

This is a really popular spot, but I am not sure why. The food was terribly oily and salty.
The dining room is nicely decorated and clean. The service was very good too. I am a big fan of curries and I ordered the green curry. I couldn’t really finish my plate because it was so oily. The taste was very salty and I had to stop after a few bites. I won’t be returning

Not a huge fan of this place.
Expensive, and the dishes themselves are not that good. The food quality doesn’t seem very high for the price.
Great service, however and very nice ambiance.

I’ve eaten here a number of times with friends and family. The wait service has been great every time we’ve been, it’s both fast and friendly. I usually stick with beef dishes but the other night I decided to get a stir-​fried Sahla Thai chicken. The sauce and vegetables were nice and cooked just right but the dish was spoiled by the chicken which had been boiled prior to being added to my dish. The boiled flavour in the chicken was very evident in another dish as my companion had a chicken curry and remarked on the chicken’s texture and lacklustre flavour. I’d eat here again but definitely wouldn’t order a chicken dish. Usually if we go out for Thai food we patronize Spicy Thai as we feel the quality of food is better (the wait service can be a bit slow though).

This used to be one of our favourites, but it seems since they have moved to their current location, the food just isnt up to par.
Don’t go there any more. There are too many other good Thai food places around.

The service is good but the food is just… bleh; that you can adjust the spice level to taste makes it possible to mask the blandness of the actual ingredients. There are only a couple vegetarian dishes — pad thai, and the rest all some combination of veggies and jasmine rice — and even then, there was chicken in my partner’s ostensibly vegetarian pad thai.

I grew up in St. Catharines and complained quite regularly about the dearth of good food that wasn’t North American. Well, when I first tried Sahla Thai a bunch of years ago, I was blown away by it. Now, to give full disclosure, a friend of mine from high school does run it, but it makes no difference as far as the quality of the food goes. The restaurant began in a smaller location, but has had to move to a much larger one.
Let’s get on to what is important about the place: the food! It is outstanding! Yes, that’s an exclamation point. Even in Toronto, I haven’t found a better restaurant and I’ve tried many. When I’m back, I try to make it there. It helps my best friend only knows one person who really loves Thai, so I always have someone to go with.
I have never been disappointed by anything I’ve eaten. I would highly recommend the curries, especially the pannaeng. It’s all amazing. It seems I’m raving somewhat, but I went yesterday and was horrified to find it was not listed on Unilocal!I had to remedy that.
Now, I wouldn’t travel to St. Catharines just for Thai food, but if you’re there, you will not go wrong with Sahla Thai.
