After so much hype in reviews, and after getting turned away as a weekend breakfast walk-up last visit, we went to Salt for the breakfast buffet.
We came away unimpressed.
If you are a hotel guest there, knock yourself out. A decent breakfast, particularly if included. If you are coming from outside, perhaps reconsider, particularly at 400 baht+ per person.
Service was klunky and confusing. Kept emphasizing “buffet only,” then handed us a menu without explanation, even to those in our party fluent in Thai.

My wife had her meal brought out 15 minutes before mine, so now I had to watch her eat, and she is almost done while I eat, and she waits on me. VERY POOR SERVICE! I asked for a manager, and he or she never came out. I was so disappointed as we liked...
