i'm surprised by extremity of the reviews for this establishment. i've dined here a half dozen times over twenty years, including last weekend, and the experience has been consistently good. they have a slightly different take on some dishes and emphasize flavor over blistering heat. unlike most thai restaurant, they didn't ask how spicy we want our dish prepared, so if you want it spicy, tell them explicitly.

first time here. went with friends that have been here before. it's been around for years. all our dishes were very good. shared eggplant with garlic, chili, bell pepper, onions, basil and tofu, red curry with chicken, pad thai with chicken and fried rice. dessert was mango with sticky rice. will definitely be back.

we stumbled across this beautiful place on our way to saladang. a friendly wait staff walked outside and greeted us when we looked confused. we decided to sit down in the beautiful garden corner and ordered pad thai and the curry soup. hands down some of the best thai dishes we’ve had!! (and we’re pretty picky). with great food, beautiful atmosphere, and friendly attentive staff, i would recommend this place to anyone. :)

the restaurant is beautiful; simple tables and wicker chairs in an open atrium. cue the eastern instrumentals with platters of food held high by servants in loincloths. . beautiful music may play in my head, but saladang is not a song i plan to sing. the menu has seen better days, with half the appetizers unavailable, tackily taped over with tiny pieces of paper. their famous papaya salad was fine, but i didn't go all the way to pasadena for a papaya salad to be just fine.

there wasn’t much in the way of problems or resistance at this place. you saunter in, you sit down, you get going. at it’s heart, it’s a neighborhood joint, a locals only joint. the people in town know about it, but because it’s off the beat and path...far, far, far way from the busy bustle of colorado blvd. but since you’re real there for the food, that’s not going to matter so much.

the dishes all have that very particular punch of southeast asia, where your tongue is happily assaulted from all angles: sweet, sour, savory all in varying degrees and combinations. i don’t know if it’s the best southeast asian i’ve had...ever, but it’s got a seriousness and dedication to craft that’ll keep it in the conversation.

first time here. the two of us enjoyed our lunch specials. the food was a little different than thai we've had at other restaurants.

song is style over substance. don't get me wrong here. i don't think you could order a bad dish on their menu, but...

1. it does feel authentic.
2. it lacks variety.
3. the main dining room is too big, noisy, lacks ambiance and intimacy.
4. the patio is alternately too hot, too cold, too noisy.
5. the service feels overburdened even when the restaurant is half empty.
6. the kitchen seems to care too much for presentation too little for taste (exactly the opposite of original saladang's winning recipe).

the last time i came to song was because s1 was closed and the manager offered the entire s1 menu at song. seeing the two menus side by side brought the failures of song into sharp relief. it is simply not what i want in a thai restaurant.

a bit dissapointed. i was excited after we ordered appetizers thinking a good meal was ahead of me. but boy,was i disappointed. the calamari was far to greasy and the palette of appetizers was expensive and probably some of the worst asian appetizers i have ever had. as far as the noodles, again not the best. the pad thai had a flavor hard to explain, but not delicious. overall this place is just not worth coming to.

foodies sometimes seem to sniff at pasadena's saladang and saladang song -- so even though i've lived nearby for a year and a half, i wasn't rushing to try them. plus, on nice summer nights, there's usually a large, off-putting crowd out front. but on a r

over rated. you can do better at the countless other thai resaurants. and probably pay more than half what you pay here.

song means "two" in thai, so english equivalent to saladang song is saladang 2. saladang 1, or just saladang is next door. why would you have two restaurants next to each other? i don't know but their menu says, "have you ever heard siamese twins sing a d

saladang song. this restaurant is the big sister to the smaller restaurant next door called saladang. it's food is more authentic thai (i hear :) i love the food but the space is big and drafty. they do have outdoor seating which is nice. the prices are fairly reasonable, but not cheap.
