MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

Two Thai sister restaurants face each other in this pocket of southern Pasadena: Saladang, the original business opened in 1993; and Saladang Garden, a more recent offering from the same owner. Inside the original, you’ll find a simple, industrial décor fitted out with exposed technical pipes and a smiling, attentive cadre of servers at the ready.
Even if some of the spices are toned down for an American audience, the food is mostly authentic and quite delicious. Prices are affordable, both for the set lunch (offered even on Sundays) and on the à la carte menu. Thai staples like tom yum soup, glass noodle salad and curries find new life here, as do house specialties like gai yang (barbecue chicken), crab pot and sizzling beef on spinach.
