    Peanut curry with tofu
    Angie K.

    I kept hearing awesome things about this place and was so glad I went in to give it a try. I decided to branch out and try something different that wasn't the pad thai which is my go to dish. Instead I tried the peanut curry with tofu and it really hit the spot. Great flavor and lots of options for levels of heat. I went with medium and it was just right for me. The portion size was great, enough for a good sized lunch but enough to take home if you wanted something lighter. The staff was very friendly and gave us plenty of time to look through the menu to decide what we wanted. They were also happy to advise us on levels of spiciness. It's a very cute little spot and I'm very glad I tried it. I will certainly be back to try more and definitely to try the pad thai!

    Pad Thai, pot stickers, dragon fruit drink, lo mein noodles
    Tasha R.

    We had ordered take out on a Sunday since we came in late to town from a trip. Our food was still warm when we got home and packaged nicely. We hope to visit again and dine in on our next visit and have an updated review. Pad Thai was 4/5 a little dry but has all the right flavors and amount of each ingredients. Lo Mein Noodles 4/5 my husband liked it but the hot+ was not spicy enough for him. Potstickers 4/5 good amount for the price but nothing special about them. Dragon fruit drink 5/5 loved it not too sweet and added boba to it

    Beef Pad Thai

    I came in during lunch post rush around 1. Ordered a beef pad thai, it didn't take long to come out surprisingly. Luckily I got there before the next rush. Might a little walk with all the business and parking. The food was amazing, the taste was just right. It wasn't too sweet, which I find is a common problem but the taste was there. The portions also hit the spot, I didn't find myself wanting more and not overly full. My server was Sabrina she was very kind and welcoming answered any questions I had about the menu. I would definitely go back and try everything else that they have! It can get a little loud but its expected with a busy restaurant.

    Chicken Satay - not enough chicken!!!
    Paul M.

    ***This review was for carry out only*** Ordered the food online and was told it would be ready in 40 minutes. I guess on a Friday night that is to be expected. Came and waited a bit longer still. Was very pleased with the food. All the dishes had good flavor profiles and a nice spice level. My favorite dish was the red curry. The drunken noodles were pretty good too. Ordered the chicken satay and the portion size was TINY!!! Came with three tiny strips of chicken. Won't order that again. The star of the dinner was the mango sticky rice. Got nervous when I saw it was made with black rice but it was AMAZING. Maybe next time we will dine in and I can comment on the service.

    Chicken satay

    Sa Thai is a great restaurant! The food tasted more authentic than many other Thai restaurants around. They offered less available Thai food like boat noodles and khao soi that many Thai places did not have. I thought the taste was good. It wasn't 100% authentic but you can't really expect that when not all ingredients are necessarily easily available here in ABQ. The staff were kind and helpful. The only thing was parking was quite hard to find in the lot especially during lunch rush hours and the spot is on a smaller side; it may be suitable for perhaps upto 6 people, and if you are aiming for larger group than that, better try to get there/make proper reservation ahead of time!

    I went around lunchtime and was immediately seated. My server (Ploy) was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. My food was delicious and the Thai iced I had was thick but also really good. It was a nice experience with good ambiance overall. 10/10 would recommend this place and will be back again!

    I thought the service was attentive, friendly and concerned (very aware of customers' piquancy level preferences) and the room and patio were very nice - the nicest of any restaurant in the shopping plaza, with lovely red flowers everywhere. Nice lagniappe ginger/tofu soup with rice - quite a large portion, too. The pumpkin curry (with tofu) was fantastic - one of the best curries I've had in my life. Green curry (with pork) was also very delicious - and was LOADED with pork and pork-y taste. Pricing was as expected for this type of food in this area, with lunch portions being priced a bit lower than full size entrees. My one visit to Sa Thai has me thinking this is one of the best Thai places in town. I'll be back for sure to try more!

    Spicy Jungle Noodles
    Emma S.

    Sa is situated in the same plaza as Tamashi off of Holly Avenue. I went on a Monday night and the place was PACKED! And now I know why! Right when you walk in you get greeted warmly by one of the waitresses and get sat almost immediately. Menu is front and back but has all of the Thai classics plus some unique spins. I opted for the spicy jungle noodles which were exactly how I like them! I love that they use the really wide rice noodles and there were plenty of veggies. You can order anything mild, medium, or hot. They can even do the spice level in between mild and medium! I think this is gonna be my new go to Thai restaurant.

    Pumpkin red curry with chicken
    Angela G.

    I'm a HUGE fan of this place. Wow! The pumpkin curry and pad kee mow were both exceptional. Their flavors are so delicious and the chicken was tasty, not dry and perfectly cut. The vegetables and rice were cooked perfectly. I can't wait to return! Lots of tables, eat alone, get takeout, go on a date, or bring the family! Staff was so kind and friendly.

    Green curry
    Jenny S.

    Been coming here pretty consistently on my work trips to ABQ and the Thai food is good! ---boat noodles: flavorful and I asked to add vegetables and they were able to do this for me! ---khao soi: also flavorful and the crispy chicken on top was a nice protein ---green curry: my go to order at thai restaurants and they do it well Staff is always so friendly!

    Jeffrey G.

    Just a gorgeous pumpkin curry from these guys tonight. Excellent flavor, but not quite hot enough for me. I was annoyed that I had to drive over in rush-hour traffic (my mistake) and the place was quite a distance from my house, but by the time I sank my teeth into the food all was forgiven. Really delicious just I ordered it hot and it was medium at best. But it was perfectly cooked and the spices were outstanding. Next time I will specify Thai hot.

    Beef Pad Thai
    C C.

    The atmosphere was pleasant, and the restaurant was notably busy for a Thursday lunchtime. Due to limited seating availability for our large group, we were accommodated at larger communal tables in the center of the restaurant with barstool seating. While most seating in the restaurant includes padding, these stools did not. The beef Pad Thai was flavorful and well prepared; however, you should expect pricing of nearly $20 per entrée for a lunch portion.

    Sticky Rice
    Lucia G.

    Delicious food and excellent service. I recommend the peanut curry and the sticky rice!

They were the best salads I've ever tasted which I why I'm giving three stars instead of less. My mom ordered the 505 Cobb and they forgot her chicken which was frustrating after waiting for nearly an hour. However, they did make up for it by making her extra chicken! And their chicken was absolutely delicious!! I ordered Persephone's Lunch which was outstanding. I added chicken to it which made it nearly $20 for a bowl salad. The seating is open and you order and sit down wherever you can find. The seating is hard on your backside and uncomfortable, especially when waiting for so long. The salads and fresh ingredients are delectable. If I ever return, it will be a to go order that is put in very early. Cheers!

He also loved the fact that there was free ice cream for dessert! He wants to go back already! We will be returning soon!

We live in Alabama currently and this was our least favorite dish of the day. Shrimp were cooked well and so were the grits but there was just something else it needed. Parmesan cheese and some onions maybe. Greek salad delicious. The flash fried chick peas made it. We needed more dressing and the wait staff was prompt and sweet about it.

I liked the meal, and it was enough to bring half of the sandwich home for lunch the next day. The other two ordered the Crispy Pork Belly & Tomato Jam flat bread.

It paired with that eggplant burger like peanut butter and jelly, or like me and bad life decisions. The service was so good I wanted to adopt the entire staff. They were attentive without being clingy, friendly without being weird, and they didn't judge me when I asked for extra napkins because I eat like a toddler at a birthday party. Bottom line: If you don't come here, you're doing your taste buds a disservice that should probably be illegal.
