People giving this place anything under 4 stars is tripping. The portions here are huge and the flavors are on point. The service is lacking because there's only 3 staff most of the time. But we came here with a family of 9 and had the biggest best tasting spread in a while. This is 2025 people. The fried catfish is as good if not better than lotus of Siam in Vegas. The crab fried rice is awesome and can feed a family of 4 easily. This is not super refined Thai food like the Saladang next store. This is awesome bang for your buck, flavorful family food.

I love me Thai food, always. Such a beautiful restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. The restaurant always feels so inviting with their floor to ceiling windows and high ceilings! The space is very bright and airy, but also can be very moody for dinner. I read on their website that the space (indoor or outdoor) can be reserved for events as well. Parking never seems to be an issue here, there are plenty of parking in their lot and street parking as well. What I ordered: Crispy Pork Salad 10/5 - There's something about the sauce that pairs so well with this salad. It's like a fish sauce but more on the sour/vinegar-y side. Such a refreshing dish and I swear I can just eat this all to myself. Haha the portion size is shareable among a few people. Yellow Curry Chicken 5/5 - Super fragrant and not spicy, although I believe you can change your spice levels. BBQ Pork Rice Bowl 2/5 - The picture on the menu looked so promising and honestly this one disappointed me. The BBQ Pork was very dry and lacked so much flavor. I wouldn't order this again Garlic Pepper Pork Bowl 3.5/5 - This tasted much better than the BBQ Pork Rice bowl. It was lot more flavorful and the meat wasn't dry. Service is always fast here, and the waiters are super friendly. Enjoy!

A wide, airy space suitable for groups. Kudos to our server who attended to our impromptu group of 10. The food is a little uneven, with some good dishes and some not as much to our liking. The samosas had a thin, crisp crust, but for me, the amount and texture of the potatoes was a little overwhelming. The chicken sate skewers were good, but the sauce was kind of gelatinous. The papaya salad had a nice kick, but it was overly sweet, the large pieces of raw green bean were off-putting and the elements just didn't blend. The green curry with eggplants and tofu was the star, only a little too sweet and not quite spucy enough, but otherwise flavorful. The catfish was reportedly crunchy and an overall good choice. The person next to me did not enjoy the Pad Thai because there was an overwhelming amount of pork and a large omelette on top. I'll take his word for that. The sticky rice with mango was pretty good. Portions were generous and several of us took home leftovers.

Since it's the best tasting breakfast spot in the area, my dad and I would come here for congee growing up in the early morning. Congee is simple to make but a lot of effort to make well, and they simmer rice and water for hours starting when it is still dark outside.

Saladang Garden is a beautiful dining experience! The building is tall with large windows and a lavish interior and beautiful orchids on each table. We came on a Tuesday night and ordered the drunken noodles with shrimp, basil and chili eggplant with shrimp, and soy ginger sea bass. The sea bass was cooked to perfection, soft and tender on the inside with a delicious soy sauce glaze and shredded ginger on top over a bed of bok choy. It was on the pricy side at $35 for the dish, and the fish was smaller than we expected. The basil and chili eggplant was delicious where the eggplant was slightly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It was a flavor bomb that absorbed all of the sauce and paired great with rice. It was not as spicy as we expected. The shrimp in our drunken noodles was delicious and the drunken noodles had a great texture and bounce to the noodles. It reminded me more of chow fun noodles and the sauce was slightly sweet. For the three dishes, it did come out to ~$80 before tip. Overall, Saladang Garden was a great dining experience and excellent food. The only thing we were confused by is that there is a Saladang restaurant right next door and a Saladang Garden and we're not sure what the difference is.

Service great, ambiance beautiful and peaceful. Staff was helpful with my questions about the food. I tried the Pad Thai veggies only. It was good but a bit sweet for my liking. I tried my Dad's eggplant (also sweet), and I even tried my hubby's curry chicken (still sweet). I feel someone favors sweet over savory in the kitchen. That's great if you like that sort of thing but it got to be a little too much for my palate. I'll still come back and try it again but only if I feel like something sweet. Parking lot is available so that is a plus and lunch special during the weekdays.

Haven't been in years so introduced my bf here for lunch this weekend. Went because I recall really liking their banana dessert which is rolled in coconut and lit on fire. Well they don't light it on fire and it wasn't as good as I remember. Also the honey that came with it tasted like it had lavender which did not enhance the flavor. The chicken sate is very good. I ordered the drunken noodles with pork. It was okay. My bf ordered the pad see something. It was okay. Ambiance and service is good but flavor is better at President Thai.
