Attention Hungry Ryerson Students
We’ve been friendly neighbours for 25 years, so all current Ryerson University students get 20% off their meal every Monday to Friday from 2-5pm. That’s 20% more to spend on textbooks!

Long Live the King
Did you really think we could fit 25 years of history on a tablet?

Once Upon a Time
In a magical, far away place called Thailand, someone put some herbs, spices, vegetables and seafood into a pot, and Thai Food was invented, and it was delicious.
-
1981
Picture it: 1981. Raiders of the Lost Ark is a box office hit. Olivia Newton-John is getting “Physical” on the FM dial. And thanks to Jane Fonda and the fitness craze sweeping the continent, salads are allll the rage. On a quiet day on Gould Street in Toronto, a King is born.

Mid-198o’s
Enter three friends who take over the floundering salad restaurant with two things in mind: Thai food and Peameal Bacon Sandwiches.

1991
In a time when alt-rock was still alt-rock and Game Boys were the hot new gadget, the three friends decided they wanted to travel the globe and needed someone else to take over their kingdom. Along came two brave entrepreneurs named Ernie & Linda, who saw potential in this dark kingdom (it was dark because it needed new lights).
-
Mid-199o’s
Ernie & Linda, who had never worked in a restaurant before, began to transform the kingdom into the Thai utopia we know and love today. Changes included upgrading to a slightly less horrible PA system, importing and perfecting traditional Thai recipes, and painting the walls bright pink.

Early 2000’s
After perfecting favourite dishes like their homemade curries, Evil Jungle Prince and their legendary Phud Thai, and finally giving up on a PA system, Ernie and Linda had finally found a recipe for success: award-wining interior design and more people to deliver their friendly service.

April 2010
Disaster strikes! A wall on the exterior of the building begins to collapse causing the kingdom to close suddenly for safety reasons. Several months later, a five-alarm fire consumed the entire building Salad King once called home. The future of the kingdom was dire, and the people mourned.
-
February 2011
Finally, after over 8 months of silence and uncertainty, Ernie and Linda announced the return of Salad King, and the people rejoiced. Perched on a throne high above Yonge Street, mere steps from the former location, the new Salad King was bigger, bolder, and tastier than ever before.

2016
Today, thanks to the ongoing support of the kingdom, Salad King hosts over 1000 guests per day. Feeding a mix of students from the neighbouring Ryerson University campus, shoppers from bustling Yonge Street, business people from nearby offices, and fans from across the globe.
It's hard to believe it's been 25 years since Ernie and Linda took over. -
