    Pad THAI CHICKEN WINGS Thai Fried Rice
    Stephanie G.

    Basil instead of ground chicken they put dry chicken pieces
    Gabriela M.

    Wanted to like this place, but during my second time ordering from them I found out that they do not honor their bogo specials they have posted on ubereats. Despite trying to speak with them over the phone about the promotion, they refused to honor the bogo special posted online. Additionally they got my order completely wrong and gave me shrimp wontons instead of chicken--I'm cannot eat shrimp and the basil was also incorrect because instead of ground chicken they put dry chicken pieces. I would have chosen a different food option had they told me they were not going to honor the buy one get one free special. I think this is really poor customer service to refuse to honor a promotion they listed despite my calling them and ubereats calling them, even though they had not yet finished preparing my order. This is the last time I will be ordering from this restaurant.

    Basil Fried Rice with shrimp
    Chris A.

    After a local favorite Thai spot shut down and relocated to Queens, my coworkers, and I have been on a quest to find our new favorite spot. We tried a couple locations in the neighborhood, but ultimately found this place to be all around quite good. The food was yummy and left us feeling full. I got a basil fried rice with shrimp with a side of vegetable dumplings that I enjoyed. My only feedback would be that I am really not a shrimp tail on kind of person (personal preference). I would actually try to go eat at this place in person to see how the vegetable dumplings would taste if they were fresh, as they were a little gooey and stuck to the delivery tinfoil. My other piece of feedback is that they could inspect the the labels are right on their food because me calling and I almost ate each other's food by accident because they miss labeled it. Overall really happy we found a spot - it's our lunchtime favorite!

    Red curry with chicken
    Laina F.

    Such a cute Thai restaurant with cozy interiors and lovely workers. The red curry never disappoints and food is always fresh and yummy! Servers are always so friendly and I love coming here. It is a hidden gem and if you're in the area definitely go visit :)

    Good Thai food. However wasn't a fan of the baby roach that was in my sprite glass. Had to pretty much leave after that.

Shoutout to our awesome server Ploy who took good pics of the group! I started with a thai mango surprise to drink, then got the massaman curry and drunken noodle for mains. Thai Mango Surprise- This has a vodka base. You get mango puree, sticky rice syrup, coconut milk and coconut cream. It's like a drink version of the dessert, very tasty! Massaman Curry- We got this with beef which was cooked perfectly tender. The sauce is sweet with a hint of spice and made creamy with coconut milk. Potatoes and peanuts add bulk to the dish. Drunken Noodle- We got this with chicken and they gave us a generous amount of it. The sauce is savory and spicy, packed with flavor. The noodles are soft and chewy. Great experience overall!

Not all midtown restaurants stay open past 10, and I was relieved to find their kitchen going strong at that hour, as well as their dining space, which was full. Turned out it was for good reason because their food was delicious. My friend and I were hoping to eat at a restaurant nearby specializing in crab, but they closed much earlier. Fortunately for us, SaiTong's menu had plenty of crab on it, and we decided to double up and make each of our entree's a crab one. The black spaghetti crab curry and crab curry noodles advertised themselves as being very different dishes in both presentation and ingredients but ended up tasting kind of similar. One was topped with deep fried crab and used a different type of noodle than the other, but the sauces were so similar. This is not to say that they didn't taste good, but I would've preferred more variance. I'm glad we got an order of papaya salad to cut the richness of the other dishes, and I also appreciated it had a nice level of heat in it. Our servers were really friendly without being overbearing, and let us linger for a bit even after we paid the bill, as it was their last seating for the evening. There are so many excellent Thai restaurants in the city and I'd put SaiTong firmly in the category of perfectly solid spots to get your Thai fix, with some special dishes on the chef's menu worth checking out.

The massaman curry was also flavorful, but a little too sweet for our liking (tasted more like yellow curry, and less of the peanut taste we are used to) Nevertheless, I really liked their GIANT trifold menu and we will definitely be back to try the rest. Amazing ambiance inside (I ADORED the gold hanging decor on the ceiling) Bathrooms were very clean and staff was so efficient and friendly. They refilled water all the time and brought out food very quickly. We were celebrating a birthday but there was nothing brought out, so I don't think they have that kind of service here. It didn't feel super super upscale but also not just your average Thai restaurant. It was very crowded, but we felt like we had adequate space to move around and enjoy our meal.

I ordered the calamari and pad Thai. The calamari was amazing. It was light and fresh. Be specific when ordering pad Thai, one has all the cuteness which is the Royals Pad Thai. The presentation is everything! If you change it and add chicken to it, they bring it out like a regular dish so only order with shrimp, if you like seafood! The ambience is very welcoming and trendy with a whole vibe.

However, when I got to the restaurant, I was told that they were not participating. When I brought this up to the staff, they did comment that several people made the same mistake earlier in the week. If that was the case, then why not correct the restaurant week website, or make it very obvious on your website that you aren't participating? Both of us were starving, and I had put in a birthday request at the restaurant, so we decided to stay. The ambiance is classy, and this would be a great spot for a business dinner or date night. I ordered a massaman curry with roti and chicken ($29), and my friend ordered the chuchi shrimp ($30) and curry puff ($16). Prices are a bit above average for the portion size, but justified by the area. We both enjoyed our dishes; the flavors were on point! Then, for my friend's birthday, they gave us mochi ice cream and a card signed by the staff! That was a nice touch that overrode the restaurant week debacle. Service was fantastic. There were multiple check backs and water refills. I would recommend Sabai Thai for a fancy night out, and I would return to try other dishes.

The ribeye garlic fried rice was bold, deeply savory & dangerously good. The chicken pad Thai struck a delicate balance between tangy and bright & perfectly restrained. If you find yourself north of Flatiron, and aren't feeling Korean - this little Thai gem shouldn't be missed; stop in on Mondays & Tuesdays
