I thought the food was really yummy and service was quick. Sat at the bar and ordered some pad Thai and spring rolls. Took maybe 20ish minutes to come out. It's not super vibey but hey the food was delicious! read more

I've only ever been here for lunch so this is the go to spot between coworkers. Between the food and the service, both are always great and consistent. I recommend the crispy Thai rolls or the crab wontons but you have to order the chicken pad Thai. read more

When you walk into a place during middle of lunch hour and it's empty you should walk right back out. That should have been my first clue that lunch at SaBai wasn't going to be good at all. Ordered a simple chicken pad Thai lunch special (just soup no salad option?) and it was by far the most underwhelming I've ever had. This place has really gone downhill. Service is meh. Won't be going back. Pay attention to the ratings. There's a reason they're low. read more

Dined in at SaBai for a dinner with some family friends, and they were very easily able to accommodate a party of 11. There were only 2 other couples in the restaurant when we were there. The food came out quite quickly and we all shared family style so we were able to try everything. The food was nothing extravagant, but the family who owns the restaurant were very nice and very attentive to all of our needs. read more

I have been desperately looking for good Thai food and I have finally found it. I had pumpkin curry with chicken, spice level 3 which was perfect for me since I like my nose to run but not so much I can't enjoy the flavor of my food. Great food, great service and great ambiance. This is now my favorite place!! read more

We just ate there and loved it! I had the chicken fried rice, which was probably the best I've ever had. Another favorite was the green curry with avocado. Everyone loved what they had. Love that it's locally owned. Definitely coming here again! read more

i ordered this thai food during my trip to arizona. while the portions were generous and the price was cheap, the overall experience was just okay. i noticed construction in the kitchen, which didn't inspire much confidence, and my order came in styrofoam containers that made reheating a hassle. the flavors were underwhelming--the chicken was a bit dry and the sauce was pretty oily. read more

First time here.. The spicy noodles has really good flavor, I ordered very spicy just under Thai spicy the noodles were not as crispy as I liked.. seafood protein unfortunately did not have as much as I would have wanted which the lady on the phone said was gonna be a few bucks for me 8 is not a few bucks that's crazy to me.. The pad prik king with chicken it had great flavor, I would order this again! All in all the food tasted great but getting charged 8 bucks for the seafood on the spicy noodles really sucked! read more

Poor food quality, misrepresentation of menu items, small portions that are overpriced, very RUDE and confrontational staff (Gommy or similar spelling) that is not aquatinted with the menu or knows how food items are prepared. Be careful if you have allergies or intolerances, they don't care and will just try to sell the item, then lie and deny should there be an issue. We ordered takeout on the phone before close on 1/1/24, around 8:20-8:30 pm. We ordered Chicken Satay and the chicken curry with no onions. We asked if the chicken satay was fried/ cooked with oil, or grilled, because we did not want it if it was fried. The waitress helping us on the phone (Gommy) said it was grilled, but was not 100% sure and said she had to go ask. We were placed on hold as she proceeded to go ask, resumed and assured us it was indeed grilled. It was not. It was fried, dehydrated and oily (see media). We had also ordered the curry without onions. She repeated the order to confirm, but we got curry with onions... and fried chicken skewers that were shy of 4 oz and cost $14. The next day I called to request to speak to a manager. I spoke to the same waitress that took our order the night before, and casually explained the issue, but she got extremely defensive and spoke with an unprofessional tone and attitude, denying everything or any fault. From the beginning I gave her a disclaimer that I will not be arguing with her and wished to speak to a manager, but she continued saying she did everything right and wasn't her problem/ fault. To note, when my Fiance placed the order on speaker phone, I was present and heard everything that she tried to deny. It's these kinds of employees that ruin small businesses, and it would be in the owner's best interest to know how guests are treated and how concerns are handled by them. Also look at how our satay looked compared to another customer (last photo!) clearly not the same quality and that in itself warrants a refund. read more

Stopped in for takeout on New Year's Day. The gentleman who took my order was very friendly and helpful with questions. Ended up ordering fried rice with extra protein. Cost was around $20, which is super reasonable for the amount of food. The fried rice was yummy and fed 2 people with a little left over. read more

Sa Bai has a drive-through so that when you don't feel like going into a restaurant, you can always get your takeout through the drive-through. Some of my favorite dishes are the appetizers that include sauté chicken with their peanut sauce and salad rolls. However, my favorite juice is their avocado curry. read more

My husband and I ordered take out from here Saturday. We ordered the Thai rolls, satay, hot and sour chicken, pad see iew, basil shrimp stir fried rice and tom yum soup. The only food that was even worth fully finishing were the appetizers - Thai rolls & satay. Everything else was a huge disappointment and did not taste good at all. I love Thai food but when I say we couldn't even eat it, had to throw it out, it was really that bad. And the food wasn't cheap either. We were so disappointed. I'm not sure if it was what we ordered or if all the other menu entrees are like this, but I will not be ordering from here ever again. read more

Delicious food I am so happy to have found Sa Bai Modern Thai restraunt. This place has delicious food, quick service, at a great value. A hidden gem in a great neighborhood On this visit my lunch companion and I ordered the Tom Yum soup, and the Pad See Ew with chicken and everything was delicious. The Pad SeecEw was full of layered flavors and spices. The medium heat was spicy but just right. Some of the best Pad See Ew I've had in a long time. The soup and fried rice was outstanding, perfectly balanced. I can't wait to revisit and try the egg rolls, Krab puffs and Thai lemonade. If you're searching for great Thai food then you must go here . Both dishes were large enough to share. We will be back read more

On a review writing "spree". I was in the area so I stopped by for takeout. It wasn't busy and I was able to order right away. I got their Pad Thai with tofu and added vegetables, and chose my spice level as hot. It was ready in about 10 minutes and I was out the door. I got home and began eating. It was more watery than usual and the tofu didn't have much flavor. Some of the noodles didn't get cooked well in the sauce (looked dry and were clumped together) but tasted cooked. The veggies were a good mix, and the spice level was fine. It was a good quantity, but not the best dish I've had. Service was quick and friendly and prices were average. I noticed they have a drive thru pickup window (not sure if it's for ordering too but I don't think so). It did fulfill my craving so that was good! read more

Super tasty. Everything here is good, the Avocado curry is outstanding, the pad thai never disappoints and the rangoons and rolls are a must. Food is fast, and price is very reasonable for quality and quantity! read more

I've gone back and forth on leaving this review because we used to LOVE this place and hate to tarnish their reputation from one really bad experience, but my last trip there was a public health issue that needs to be addressed. We used to go at least twice a month and enjoyed the food. The curry and drunken noodles were our favorites and never disappointed! The staff has always been lovely and attentive. We did have occasional hiccups with the sticky rice not tasting fresh/soapy or using frozen mango but having worked so many years in this industry it wasn't a big deal to me. Fast forward to last Thursday. I wasn't feeling well so my partner picked me up a cup of Coco soup. I ate almost half the container before I realized a floating cockroach leg....then I found two more.... All different sizes which tells me there were multiple roaches in this soup. I can't tell you how disgusted I was. The woman working there was apologetic and refunded our money, and also offered us new food but I couldn't bring myself to eat anything out of that kitchen again. Unfortunately we won't be back to our formerly beloved Thai place because I can't rid this image from my mind. I'm leaving this review to hold the owner accountable. Eric W, you need to clean your kitchen and reevaluate your kitchen staff. Totally unacceptable. read more

I go here because it's close. The lady at the pickup window did not greet me, just stared at me with the window half open, and when she finally came back with my food, handed it to me without saying a word and closed the window. I think I'll drive the extra mile next time Update: why tf is my pad Thai pink? Tastes like there was a mixup with the recipe read more

Fast service and really wonderful food! They do pick and sit down, and I haven't had a single thing I didn't like. Great location too, plenty of parking. Never have to wait to sit, seems to be a family owned place. I've tried: -Chicken pad thai (spice level medium is good for spice lovers!), and it's tangy, juicy, and amazing flavor. My new favorite, and I'm picky with Pad Thai -Papaya Salad, also the perfect amount of flavor -Cream Cheese Wontons -Coco Soup was so delicious with chicken, mushrooms, and coconut milk broth -Thai tea, always good -Mango and Sticky rice, mango was amazing, rice wasn't entire cooked so that was my only complaint read more

It's not worth it. It's a legit 2 stars. Frozen mango for mango sticky rice, watered down coconut milk sauce... the quality is sub par. The meats are meh, flavor meh, I tried it like three times. I refuse to go back and I live right around the block. read more

I had been wanting to check this place out for close to a decade (it has to have been that long). Well, after deciding upon walking home from the airport and then deciding it was too hot and too far, I found myself outside SaBai. I thought, what a perfect opportunity to grab some water and a bite to eat. I went in, it was a Tuesday and just after lunch (1:00 pm). I was seated immediately and brought some water. I started with their spring rolls that came with a side salad doused in peanut sauce. I skipped the salad, enjoyed the rolls. I also ordered the veggie curry and when given the option for spice level, I went Thai spice. It was warm and spicy but still full of flavor. I often worry that the spice will ruin the flavor, that was not the case here. It was full of veggies but the way it was laid on the plate had me not want to make a mess. I took a few bites and decided to take the rest to go. Which I would probably just place a to-go order if I stop in again. I understand the presentation effort but for me, I guess I wasn't as appreciative that it was all compartmentalized a bit. Pricing wasn't too bad, nor was the food or service. read more

Food was average. Service was ok but it was one girl taking care of all of the tables and takeout orders so she did the best she could. They definitely need to hire another server or someone to do takeout orders. Overall it was a very average experience. Would not go out of my way for this read more

I used to love this place for take out Thai until I received their fresh rolls that had raw shrimp. I had a couple bites and notice the mushy texture & started looking closing inside the roll and pulled a shrimp out & it was completely uncooked raw. Hopefully I don't get food poisoning. read more

I'd had the beef in basil sauce. Not exactly what I was thinking when I got the dish. The beef was more like Mongolian beef style. They did have some basil. Flavor overall was okay, but I would have liked more of a mince chopped beef style type of dish. It felt like the dish was more of a fusion of Mongolian beef / almost your usual pad gra prow,, wish I was craving more for. But they don't have that on the menu. Number 3 spicy, is not spicy at all. So if you want spicy maybe put more emphasis on telling them to be Thai spicy. The waitress or waiter was super attentive and pretty quick with service. Friendly overall. No issues there. Inside was pretty clean even though outside looks different or not as fancy. Parking is not an issue. Pricing is Usual thai price around $14. Would recommend checking other thai places. read more

I like to come here for lunch during work and the lunch portions are great. My favorite is the yellow curry with chicken. The Thai Tea is the perfect pairing to help cool off the spicy (to me ). Each time I go the service varies, some times are slower than others regardless of how busy they are. So I try to make sure I have plenty of time just in case. Either way, I would definitely recommend SaBai for some classic yummy Thai food! read more

Nice little local chain for good Thai food. We needed a quick dinner one night, and they had a kang dang curry and chicken fried rice ready in just 15 minutes. Every thing tasted good, and if (hypothetically speaking) one of you has just gotten over food poisoning and needed something bland, they can make your dish without any spice at all. After ordering over the phone, I hopped in the car, parked in their private lot, paid, and left to eat while it was still hot! read more

Ordered from here it isn't good I feel sorry for the owners wife I know she tries really hard, but I've ordered from here multiple times and it just is always okay or just ends up no one eating it. Sadly I've stopped ordering from here even though it's one of the only spots in the area. read more

Have stopped in a few times to pick up take out - Great food, good service, wish the portions were a little bit larger for the price (definitely a treat - dinner/takeout for 2 usually costs at least $50 before tip and/or delivery if applicable) but overall a great local spot! read more

Should have checked Yelp first. Google gave them a 4.3 star rating, so I thought it would be at least ok. Placed a pick up order over the phone. We ordered one order of Shrimp Pad Tai, 1 large Coconut soup with shrimp, and a side of rice. The person taking my order asked how many scoops of rice? I asked how much rice is in one scoop? She could not tell me how much rice a "scoop" was. And she asked how many people are eating? I said my wife and myself. She said three scoops should be ok. When I got to the restaurant to pick up my order, The total was $49! for 1 entre, large soup, and rice? seriously? then they turn that little tablet my way where it asks you to sign for the charge, and of course to make you feel obligated to tip. I did not. So when we got home this is what we had: A huge container of rice! Why didn't she tell me I was ordering a lot for two people? I asked her specifically how much rice was in a scoop? these are huge scoops, and I must have paid over $10 for too much rice, because the order person cant explain the portions they sell... or offer any sound advice to a new customer. Also, the pad tai to go portioning , is way to small for the price! It's at least a 3rd smaller than we usually get, and taste was way below average for most tai places. $ I would gladly pay $49 if this was some amazing tai food, but for this? A total joke! read more
