The return of Salad King, just under a year after the restaurant was forced to abandon its crumbling original premises, has been an exciting event for lovers of cheap and cheerful Thai food. The brightly coloured interior has a happy, caffeinated energy that’s even louder and more enjoyable than the original joint ever was. The food is the same: cheap, competently made, relatively fast and reliably filling. And yes, you can still get your spicing on a scale from mild (none, essentially) to 20 (best you wear an adult diaper). While the deep-fried spring rolls don’t quite cut it—there’s not enough filling and too many layers of wrapper—the spicy squid, with kefir lime leaves, sweet basil, bamboo shoots and bell peppers, is perfectly balanced: a bit of sweet, a bit of sour, some salty, earthy depth from fish sauce and plenty of chili spice. Tom yum soup is a bit too salty, and the shrimp, though not offensive, taste like they’ve been in the freezer a bit too long.
