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, theservicewas 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 a place in 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 another place i'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) place in midtown.  i think  mai thai is better...but its far more expensive.  this place has the best value.  theservicehere 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 favorite place to go if i get the chance.

i went there tonight after reading the rave reviews. i just moved into the area and was excited. i must agree that the food is excellent and a good value for the size of portion and price. where i strongly disagree is theserviceprovided. i have never had such disattentive or bordering - on - rude service. took 7 minutes to be greeted at door and another 15 before waitress came to table. when i asked for chili flakes for my curry i got a snotty eyeroll. asking for a refill on water made me feel like i was asking for the impossible. the decor is bland and mostly non-existent. i might order take out but unlikely dine in again.

pleasantly surprised.. stopped in here on a whim last night. the food was really good and the prices were cheap. theservicewasn't anything to be excited about, but i had excellent company and didn't mind dinner taking longer than necessary.

the food was pretty good for the price. i was not a fan of how they wrapped the springrolls though. it all just fell apart after one bite. theservicehere is horrible! the wait for the food was incredibly long. we did not get any kind ofserviceunless we asked. we had to ask for water refills several times and had to go up the cashier to get our check because the waitress never came to our table to check on us. hire more people or just do a better job on checking on your customers needs.

the meat was overcooked, the pad thai was mostly made of ketchup, and theservicewas not good. there are much better thai places in omaha that kill it in comparison. you should try mai thai.

best thai in omaha?. i believe the answer to that question is: yes! very reasonably priced, the food quality was excellent, portions were comfortably sized. my wife and i went this past tuesday evening, and our only complaint was that theservicewas a bit on the slow side. but, as an addendum to that, salween was packed on a tuesday, so i didn't see an inherentserviceproblem. if you're an omahan and like thai, you must try salween thai!

great little spot!. we've been to salween thai several times and have thoroughly enjoyed every experience! the dishes are hot, fresh, and tasty,serviceis quick, attentive, and friendly, and the atmosphere is relaxing. try the fish cakes!
