Pasadena's Best Restaurants that are most frequently booked by customers of Saladang Pasadena
😒 3/5 - We've been going to Saladang since they opened in the

We've been going to Saladang since they opened in the 1990's. Back then, they were Pasadena's "it" restaurant and one of the best Thai restaurants around. The service, the food and the atmosphere of the building were amazing and they enjoyed a level of success for more than a decade that saw the restaurant packed with people every day and night on weekdays and especially on weekends. Fast forward to today and there are some stark differences. The once trendy looking decor is now worn and needs updating badly (holes in the faded tablecloths immediately make this very clear). The restaurant (and its sister restaurant, Saladang Garden) is now almost empty most of the time, even on weekends. The service has lost the friendliness and welcoming smiles of the original staff. Today, when we asked for our leftovers to be boxed-up, the waitress just dropped off containers at our table and we had to clumsily package everything on our own, even though we were only one of three tables being served at the time and waiters were standing about. The biggest difference from the old days is how inconsistent the taste and quality of the food has gotten. Some days everything is bland, the sauces are watered down or the wrong color and the beef is extremely tough and chewy. You can always tell the food won't be good by the lack of richness in the colors of the food. Sometimes the pad Thai is beige or light brown instead of being sauced nicely in an orange hue. Other times, the beef in the Basil and chili beef is cut large and the sauce is so watered down it doesn't cling to the overly large and chewy chunks of beef. Today, for Saturday lunch, the food was great. When Saladang prepares their dishes to their full potential, they do Thai as good as the best of them ((including restaurants in Thai town). The yellow curry tasted perfect with perfectly stewed pieces of tender chicken. The Basil and chili beef was also very flavorful and prepared well. The pad Thai stood out from all the other pad Thai's in a town full of them. The service today was a bit lacking but hopefully that too can swing to the good when the staff rotates for dinner. I really hope that Saladang can once again find the success it once enjoyed. Today reminded me that at their best, Saladang is still capable of being the best Thai restaurant in Pasadena and even in all of LA.
