Bucheon's Sala Thai Restaurant Review

[missplaid6]

Ive been to a sala Thai in la and there food isn't that great cuz my mom wanted to eat there cuz my aunt said it was good an she was dissapointed with most of our food -_-

[ToppNotch]

thumbs down for them prawns but the plate was empty..lmao

[laughablegurl]

OMFG`! i was like what song is in the backfround i finally know it ; GAyy mee

[Vaughnlesterinoz]

even that expensive stuff seems cheap compared to Australia. I went out with friends the other night and ended up paying $20 for a hamburger with some fries and a Cola. Things like McDonalds are cheaper, but if you want a really good hamburger that doesn't seem over processed and has a decent amount of sauce and salad you will pay for it. The other things on the menu were things like Ribs for $34, steak $25 etc etc.

Which Hyundai dept store is that??

[victoriaindigo]

Have you been to Kin Khao Thai restaurant in NYC?

[icecoldlover]

You have to go to Thailand for the real Thai food :)

[shinaerox]

oh my gosh i went there once!!!

i feel so cool now

[destructicon500]

There's a Sala Thai in Vancouver too... and I heard it's only mediocre. But Thai food is pretty popular here even if it's not great

[sunsetlungs]

toronto :) i live in hamilton, i must head over to toronto to go restaurant hopping.. hah. great videos! ^__^

[getona]

pad se-ew... i woud'nt eat that.. looks tasteless

[danny9880]

haha allways delicious and always..lol. allways.. what a typo.

[heomak]

this just goes to show that eating at expensive restaurants doesn't necessarily equate to eating delicious food..a few years back, a friend of mine convinced me to eat at this tiny ass tin shack selling south indian breakfast l(i wouldn't call it a restaurant)..the place was super tiny(only 2 long tables facing each other) and looked dirty but after i tasted their food, i was blown away by how yummy it was..the best south indian breakfast ever!!!!!

[sosodefjis00]

in korea thai food is not popular !...

im in sydney, sooooo many thai restaurants here and they are so popular here..anywwyz, im korean and i miss korea. thanks for all your guys`s video, so cool !

[pinkaliciouss08]

it looked so not delicious.. waste of money

[jstanodaDBSKfreak]

lol, the food doesn't look so appetizing.

i myself is a thai chef and those pad se-ew and pad thai looked utterly tasteless.

And yes your right about giving lime when serving pad-thai. the lime gives it a citrus aroma to the noodles. Generally pad-thai is like a sweet, sour with a hint of salty taste to it.

[simonandmartina]

Good to hear advice from a real chef! It was so awful! But, they've closed down now so I guess it wasn't just us that didn't enjoy it!

[simonandmartina]

Actually, we didn't say Thai food sucks. We love Thai food. We said THIS restaurant doesn't know how to make Thai food, probably since the cooks and owners weren't from Thailand, so their food sucks.

But it really doesn't matter anymore because this restaurant is now closed down.

[n6djs]

So, I've watched 33 of your most recent vids now & just have to say you hair looks really cute all the time & doubly so in this one.

I've had a little bit of interest in visiting Korea in the past, and after watching your vids I have to say I have more interest now

[pixley07]

u sAUNd LYEK AU GAI! *say with cuban accent, it

s funny....and not im not racist cause sOY CUBANO!

[imalreadyadhole]

i just wonder...are you guys comparing this restaurant with a thai restaurant in Thailand or a thai restaurant in Canada?

cuz im pretty sure that those exotic resturants in you country must have been localized as well...ah, yes, this review is supposed to be for westerners. then what authenticity are you talking about? you mean, the authenticity of thai food in north america? well, i like your vids so much, i just found it's kind a funny you guys talking about THAI food's authenticity.

[simonandmartina]

We're comparing it to the experiences we have had with Thai restaurants in Toronto (Canada).

For example, you can't call it curry without curry powder, and you can't call it dukboggi without red pepper paste. In this case, this food was lacking typical Thai spices: lime, cilantro, and chillies.

Considering Korea is closer to Thailand than Canada is, I was disappointed not to have these flavours in my dish.

I hope this helps explain our train of thought! ^^*

[imalreadyadhole]

hahaha yep this is surely a bright explanation lol

(and i think i was expecting it from you^^)

but somehow your reply makes me really wanna go there myself to see...

i mean...comeon..what kind of thai food is that..lol

[simonandmartina]

I know! I was totally crushed! You know when you really really have an urge for a certain food? That was me that day, and I was do disappointed. BUT I will say, many people in Korea have given us advice regarding better Thai food restaurants so we'll have to visit them.

[cherubim724]

I guess foods made in korea are for koreans taste..so it might taste different from the original...

[boeullee]

um..i korean and i know for sure they can not make any good tasting food that is not korean....

[randommusicvideo]

hey guys when u go to hyundai baekajum ummm on the top level do NOT i repeat DO NOT go to restaurants that dont have a lot of people in it lol go to the ones that have bookings and people waiting outside since those are ones people like (they dont lie *logic!*) just a tip... when u see a lot of ppl ur likely in a good place

[maka10000]

OMG!!! I'm so hungry!!

[sharpieroxs]

That pad thai does NOT look like the pad thai I know. The pad thai I love (in Toronto, of course!) looks and tastes a lot better than that.

[mulogo]

I like thai foods but the foods in this video look awful

[ovmssucks]

so how much did this cost total in american?

[wiscgenius0009]

how come we don't have such that Thai restaurant in US...

[swaggerofthedagger]

So after I get around to the #1 on my top ten list of places to see, when I go to my #2 place of Bucheon, I will definitely NOT being going to the Sala Thai Restaurant. So was it just plain bad, or just bad for Thai food? Simon's dish looked kind of weird but Martina's looked decent...

[roystoys34]

hey simonandmartina, growing up and raised in Incheon, if you ever have a chance to visit there, try Songdo Galbi at Songdo in Incheon.

the restaurant has been there for over 20 years at the same location on hillside looking down nice view of Songdo. It's quite fancy korean bbq restaurant so it might be pricey but if you order their galbi bbq it will come with about 20 side dishes and the taste of galbi and cold noodle is divine

[Crystalsaint]

How can the price be the exact exchange?

[simonandmartina]

This was actually filmed a while ago, when the exchange rate was roughly the same. We just completely forgot about this video (along with the stockpile of other videos we made). Now the exchange rate is off, and I forgot to append a note to that part.

Sorry!

[live4ever100]

The most expensive phethai noodle I ever heard. Those noodles are very cheap food in Thailand.

[Gerycurl]

Word on the street is that Koreans (some not all) don't like heavily aromatic spices in their food. That's why many other ethnic restaurants like Indian, Mexican, Middle Eastern and so on leave out all important spices like coriander and cilantro. Ugh Why oh Why !!

[marisoltena]

@Gerycurl

*gasp* Really? That makes me so sad. :(

I'm Mexican-American and I'm getting ready to go to Korea in a couple of weeks. I found out about a Mexican restaurant in the city I'll be living in, but to hear that they leave out cilantro and other herbs/spices is devastating... That's it. I'm bringing my own Tapatio sauce...

[melonbarmonster]

uh... did you uys pick up the wa wa thing from the natives?

[4q2pab]

Try the Itallian Restaraunt on the bottom floor of the Bucheon Hyundai Dept. Store. Yum Yum Yum.

[FrancisRidley]

Thanks for the tips on good Toronto Thai restaurants. Sorry you had a bad experience at this restaurant. I does lend credibility to your positive reviews though. Good review, even though it was bad. :)
