Sala Modern Thai Kitchen Bar

What is Sala Modern Thai Kitchen Bar? Anchoring Danforth Avenue just west of Greenwood Station, Sala Modern Thai Kitchen Bar is the energetic, Thai SELECT-certified restaurant run by Koh Samui–trained chef Kasorn Meepan (Chef Mo). The dining room channels the communal ethos of a traditional Thai open pavilion (*sala*), pairing cheerful contemporary design and warm lighting with cozy dining tables and a lively bar counter.

Sala Modern Thai Kitchen Bar Menu & What to Order Chef Mo's kitchen refuses shortcuts, championing punchy aromatics, genuine heat levels, and a staunch "no ketchup" rule for its signature tamarind-glazed Sala Pad Thai, delicately served in an egg crepe net. The standout Kheaw Waan green curry is elevated by slow-cooked marbled finger rib beef and tender Thai eggplant, while the Khao Pad Tom Yum delivers bold wok char and bright citrus-herb complexity. Start with the charcoal-kissed grilled pork jowl or Zaab chicken wings tossed in laab herbs, and finish with fresh mango sticky rice or a warm Nutella roti pancake.

Know Before You Go Dinner tables fill quickly on weekends, making direct online reservations advisable for Friday and Saturday evenings, though solo diners and pairs can often grab walk-in seating at the bar. Sala is closed on Mondays and opens earlier on Saturdays and Sundays for midday lunch. Green P street parking lines the Danforth corridor, and Greenwood subway station is a quick three-minute walk away.
