salween thai

great!. i rarely review restaurants...but i feel compelled to give a shout out to salween thai. first, the restaurant is nicely designed and decorated - a big step up from past occupants of the space. second, the service was friendly and attentive. and third, and most importantly, the food was great. everything we ordered was good. i recently was craving thai and went to aplacein downtown lincoln that has been around for years. i was so disappointed with the pad thai there, i was nearly turned off at the thought of trying anotherplacei'd never been too so soon afterwards. but, rather than being let down again, i was pleasantly surprised to find one of the best thai places in town. and the prices are ridiculously low.

salween deserves your business - you won't be disappointed!

the food is delicious and the best (affordable)placein midtown.  i think  mai thai is better...but its far more expensive.  thisplacehas the best value.  the service here is awful...the downfall of eating here.  it's the same for mai thai as well, just in case you were comparing.  both places take forever to seat you...then even longer to order and you almost never get a refill because there's no one to ask.  the last time i went, i gave money to pay and received no change.  waited around and found that the guy assumed i was just giving him a $10 tip.  like that would happen with almost zero service!?  took a while for the food to come, but it was really good.  i had the egg rolls and pad thai.  the thai tea isn't great here...much better other places as it's served warm in ice here?  the food had a different taste than most thai places... unique flavor, but good.  on the spicy side... so make sure you order a little lower than you would for spice.  i would order take out... but won't likely go for sit down. 

if you feel like amazing/affordable thai food and good service... go to thai kitchen, it's down on like 162nd and l st... but the food is the best in the city and it's small, quaint...better atmosphere and the people are attentive and even remember you if you return. it's family run and my favoriteplaceto go if i get the chance.

delicious!! did take-out (curry) and it was awesome.placewas super cute, clean and romantic looking too.

thisplaceis just awesome! the food is fresh and they'll make it burn if you ask. if you enjoy thai food, salween is a must! i highly recommend it!

the saddle creek area has become a hotspot for immigrant families from africa and asia. i am so happy that a thai restaurant has finally opened; there isn't another one for miles, downtown. i think this may be the first restaurant that will succeed in this space; the previous african restaurants just couldn't cut it. next door is a grocery store of the same name, but the restaurant is miles away from the bright white fluorescence of grocery store isles replete with warm earth tones, attractive decorations like the large bamboo feature in the front. it's miles away from the no frills atmosphere of its predecessors. we ordered tom kah gai, pad thai and number 27 (sorry, i forgot the name!) ordered very spicy. my guest lauded the pad thai, my dish, 27, ordered with a fried egg laid over rice next to spicy chicken and peppers. what made me even happier were the killer prices: at about $7.50 a dish, thisplaceis steal and should not be passed up! i am already planning my next 3 or 4 visits for just this week!
