Worth it
  • Address307 Amsterdam Ave, New York, NY
  • From my guide, updated September 2026.

For most locals, Sala Thai is the go-to neighborhood Thai restaurant on the Upper West Side. Punchy flavors take center stage shining through in stunning curries and traditional dishes like pad se-ew. The Panang Curry (sweet potatoes, kaffir lime leaves, string beans, coconut milk) is my tried-and-true staple, but my husband is partial to the pad thai.
