I had never gotten to try Thai food before and it was a great introduction. The dipping sauces are literally to die for and I know that's a weird thing to obsess over, but they were sooooo good. The staff was so friendly and kind, it was a rain storm outside and they let us stay inside until it was over; so that was very greatly appreciated. It was a very homey, kind of, neighborhood spot. Very comfy and cozy and it feels like your friends are running the business and you can just have a casual conversation with the staff and even other patrons. Even though it was my first time there. I hundred percent recommend it because the food was really good and I really like the atmosphere of the restaurant and the staff was very kind and welcoming.

The interior is quite spacious with plenty of sunlight, and even when we left it wasn't very busy for a Sunday around lunchtime. I ordered drunken noodles with steamed tofu and left pleased. The server didn't ask me for spice level, but it definitely had a kick to it, which I appreciated. The duck noodle soup sounded like it'd be a great, unique dish - but the duck is probably best left to dry noodle dishes, where it can remain crispy. In the soup, the duck lost its texture and flavor. The other classics that the group ordered (deluxe pad thai, chicken pad see ew) were all satisfactory.

Definitely recommend!

The food is outstanding across the board, and their house drinks are just as impressive. Their Pad Thai is a standout and remains a go-to favorite, while the Mee Boun salad is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully balanced. For appetizers, the fried shrimp spring rolls are crisp, perfectly cooked, and absolutely delicious. The assorted appetizer platter is also a must-try, offering a generous sampling of many of their best starters and making it ideal for sharing. Don't skip the cocktails either. They craft excellent drinks, with the Mai Tai being a particular standout--well balanced, refreshing, and the perfect complement to the meal. All around, Sara Thai delivers on every level: great food, great drinks, and great service. Bon appétit

It was served without the combo, so it was just Red Curry without the rolls or dumplings, no big deal. He said it to me "How is the food, good huh". I explained to him that I was not served the combo, but I was OK with that. The chicken was God awful. It was so rubbery and over cooked it was like taffy. I showed him that I couldn't cut the chicken. He said "sorry, overcooked". I ate some rice and canned tasting bamboo shoots and left 80% of the food over. The whole dish was awful, not just the chicken. He saw that I left all the food and didn't seem to care. Then, I went to pay and the owner charged me for the dinner portion that I didn't order (it was his mistake! ) . I left him $20 cash,told him we was a nice man but his food was terrible, left, and went to Wendy's. I've tried every single Thai restaurant in a 50 mile radius of Portsmouth. This place ranks dead last.

We had a larger group so got food to share! I would recommend this if you are wanting to try a little bit of everything! If I came back for one thing, I think I would choose the Banh Mi Pizza! The dough was some of the best I have ever had! I told my friend I thought they would be able to open up a pizza place with dough like that! The other food was also great, but I felt like the portions were a little bit on the smaller side...the prices seemed reasonable! The environment was great! They had plenty of seating and two restrooms that were clean. I was impressed but this restaurant! I would come back and had a great time here!

Rating: 4.0 Came to…read moretry the local Vietnamese restaurant in Portsmouth, NH. We were on the way back from Maine and stopped by since we were in the area. They offer various asian food such as banh mi, vermicelli noodles, hainanese chicken rice, and pad thai. They also have some drink options like Vietnamese coffee, Thai tea, bubble teas as well as alcoholic drinks as well. It's located in a plaza and many parking spots are available. Inside looks like a diner and has bunch of box of drinks sitting in the side of the entrance. They have inside and outside seatings available. We got a banh mi with bulgogi beef, bao buns with beef, vermicelli noodles with chicken and Vietnamese coffee. The banh mi was good and the beef was savory and sweet. Vermicelli noodle was okay. Bit tangy and sweet with bunch of vegetables and chicken. Bao buns was also good but looks like beef is the same beef they used for banh mi so flavor was similar. Vietnamese coffee was sweet and tasty but did have some artificial flavor. Service was ok. The front staff taking the order was chatting with acquaintance so we didn't get our drinks until all the food was served by the cooks in the back. Overall it's an ok Vietnamese restaurant. Place seem to be doing good as we saw good number of people come and go and i see that there are not a-lot of asian restaurants around. Price is reasonable and food is good but we have good variety of asian restaurant back home and was not as good as some of them back home.
