Sala Thai — Restaurant in Rancho Cordova

Went there with some friends, ordered 5 dishes to share. As one user mentioned, they do need some dusting. Most of the food was good except the drunken noodle needed more sauce and the Pad Thai was UNEDIBLE. Pad Thai is typically made with 1/4" wide flat rice noodles and sauce with just a hint of red. The noodles we received were like ramen noodles and they were VERY red. They were all sticky clumped together like if you cook ramen at home and let it set and get cold and the noodles are all clumped together. Pretty sad that Noodles & Co makes a more authentic Pad Thai. I also ordered the Tom Kha Gai soup to go, it was sweeter than it should be but still not too bad. Everything else was good such as the curry and the bangkok chicken. For reference, I have been enjoying Thai food for over 25 years, so I know the level of acceptable fluctuation in flavor and quality of certain Thai dishes. UPDATE: had ordered a glass noodle salad to go, put it in the fridge for dinner the next evening. I had half of it for dinner, it was absolutely delicious, BUT it made me throw up within the hour. The only other thing I had eaten that day was a can of chicken noodle soup at 11am, so it had to have been caused by the noodles. I smelled the rest of the noodles and it did smell weird, but I'm not sure if that's just how the sauce smells. NOT cool though. 1) quit using sticky ramen-type of noodles in Thai dishes and 2) DON'T MAKE PEOPLE SICK. That is...

I'm hoping the woman who helped me today sees this. The food was most excellent! Just vegetable soup with a delicious clear broth. The ambiance was chill while I waited for my soup, which wasn't long at all. Quick and friendly service. Here is my issue... The lady who helped me ran my card the first time for $1304.44. Yes, I agree. That is a lot for soup! It took 1 second for my bank to message me basically saying 'Hey this is fraud!' Well no duh! In the same minute it took for all this to happen she ran it again and put in the correct price of $13.04. I even pay her 17%-20% tip in cash and she doesn't even need to clean up my mess. Sorry! Too late! I lose the use of my card for up to 7 days until I get it in the mail. I mentioned this to her. Even when it happened, she never apologized, not once. I understand mistakes happen. I have made many myself. I told her this is the third time since last October that I've had to replace my debit card, twice due to someone else's mistake. I spike rather calmly and she totally understood me. NO APOLOGY STILL! Trust me, I will find...

My son in-love treated us to late lunch or early dinner. We wanted thai but, I was still eating clean so just wanted vegetable stir fry type of dishes for myself. I was still avoiding meat, seafood, rice and noodles.. I ordered an eggplant stirfry dish in a garlicky sauce and vegetable rolls. They ordered regular stuff sweet & sour chicken, honey walnut prawns, and some other beautiful dishes. I didn't enjoy my eggplant dish as much as I wanted to because it was chopped into huge pieces that were not marinated to the right softness or saturated consistency so some bites the texture was off putting because it wasn't coated and the sauce wasn't full of flavor either. I didn't want to complain because my son was treating us to a nice meal but, I definitely would have enjoyed diced eggplant over huge chunks and pieces for a more evenly balanced texture and taste throughout the dish... Their food looked great. I tasted some of the cooked veggies and garnishes from their plates and focused on my shared vegetable spring rolls or...
