Dear Mizan,
Thank you for leaving us such a kind review with lovely pictures. We are truly pleased you enjoyed your time with us and hope to welcome you back very soon! - Sep 29, 2024
The massive construction (noise and all) outside didn't keep people from coming to this tucked away Thai restaurant in the flatiron district. We had a
7:45pm reservation for 10 which we made online for a Thursday night. Reservations are a must here.
\When we arrived, we found the waiting space for our table to be quite cramped. Not much room for people to stand and wait aside from the side bench that'll fit about 3 adults. The dining space itself is not that big either. The bar, itself, lines one side of the restaurant.
The atmosphere was quite noisy. So heads up, you'll be speaking loudly across the table and next to your seat partner to be heard. Aside from the cultural details this place had mood lighting.
It can be hard to appreciate the dish details and services because of the noisy ambiance. Still we always try to be objective. Food was okay. It wasn't so extraordinary that it pulled me away from my hard to have conversations with those in our party. It does look quite delicious when they first bring it out. The food plating is quite nice.
It's a nice place to have some Thai if you are craving it. Would we feel different if we came during a less busy time? Price was okay so trying this place again is a possibility.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

(Overall: B) - Sabai Thai is an upscale thai restaurant with innovative dishes, a few of which catch my eye. I found their price regime to be a bit higher than most, but the quality of food seems reasonable. Quite a decent option to revisit for sure.
(Tiger Prawn Pad Thai: A) - This is a well made Pad Thai that hits all of the bold flavor notes I look forward to from this dish. I like that they elevated this dish with an omelette wrapper and showcased an entire beautiful tiger prawn that was tender and delicately fried.

Dear Alex,
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us review. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed our Tiger Prawn Pad Thai and shared your review with our chef which truly made their day. We hope to welcome you again! - Aug 18, 2024
We had a small reunion for 8 here. Inside was decorated nicely. There's only one unisex bathroom so there might be a wait.
We were seated right away even though it said that we would be seated once all our party was there.
We ordered drinks first. I got the mango Thai iced tea. It was fruity and refreshing but I didn't taste mango. It was still good.
I had the grilled pork. The rice was interesting with fried garlic. The pork chop didn't have any bones. It was grilled nicely and came with a side of sweet sauce. We also shared some steamed dumplings. The wrapping was thin with lots of meat. They were attentive keeping our glasses filled.
A friend traded some duck meat for some pork from her pad ew see. I was surprised at how big the pieces of duck were. They were fatty and tender.
The food here is good if a little expensive.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1Business owner information

The vibes in here was so romantic and lovely. I came with my friends and I ordered a Pad See Eew with chicken. It came with a beautiful flower on the noodles and it tasted so flavorful. The ambiance was amazing and there was a cute flower candle light on our table.

My friend and I, fresh from a color analysis (results: I'm a cool tone & winter dark girlie), found ourselves in that awkward time of day when most respectable restaurants are closed. Thankfully, Sabai Thai was there to save us from our post-analysis growling stomachs.
* Tiger Prawn Pad Thai ($36)
When our server recommended the Tiger Prawn Pad Thai, we nodded in agreement, unaware that we were about to embark on a Pad Thai experience like no other. The dish arrived like a culinary masterpiece - sweet, tangy, and wrapped in an omelette like a gift from the food gods. And that tiger prawn on top? Let's just say it was so big, I momentarily considered naming it. This dish is a 5/5, no questions asked.
* Pineapple Curry With Duck ($30)
Another gem recommended by our culinary guide (aka our server). The curry was more on the watery side, but oh, the flavor! The roasted duck was cooked to perfection, each bite more delicious than the last. My friend found it a tad spicy, but I barely noticed the heat - I was too busy savoring the deliciousness. Another solid 5/5 for me.
* Maprow Supparod ($12)
If tropical flavors are your thing, then the Maprow Supparod is your new best friend. This mocktail, with its blend of mango, pineapple juice, coconut cream, and lime soda, was nothing short of paradise in a glass. Sweet, refreshing, and absolutely deserving of a 5/5.
* King Supparod ($12)
Now, the King Supparod was where our tastes diverged. I have a soft spot for ginger candy, so this drink was right up my alley. My friend, however, was less enthusiastic, which worked out perfectly - more for me! Even when a tiny uninvited guest (read: bug) showed up in my drink, the server promptly brought me a new drink without missing a beat. Talk about service! A bug can't stop this from being a 5/5.
In conclusion, Sabai Thai was an unexpected delight at 3 PM. The service was impeccable, the recommendations were spot-on, and the food was nothing short of stellar. I'm giving Sabai Thai a well-deserved 5/5. If you find yourself wandering around at odd hours, hungry and in need of excellent Thai cuisine, you know where to go.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

Dear Lina,
We truly appreciate you taking the time to leave us such a lovely detailed review. The picture you took during your time with us is gorgeous. We truly hope to welcome you back again very soon! - Aug 9, 2024
The food was OK. We ordered the Gan Panang (curry) and Crispy Garlic Shrimp, and neither of them wowed me, but perhaps I ordered the wrong things. The only thing stopping me from coming back to try again are the prices. $40pp for a few pieces of shrimp is crazy.
Service was OK as well. My friend got her food (the curry) way faster than I did, even though it was only 5 pieces of shrimp.
Ambiance was good thought. The restaurant was decorated nicely.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we are committed to using it to enhance our menu. We sincerely do hope that we will have the opportunity to serve you again with a better experience. - Jul 24, 2024
This is a really nice restaurant. The atmosphere here is upscale chic. The seats were very comfortable.
Staff were very fast and friendly and were happy to answer any questions we had.
Food: The food was very good here. I've definitely been to other Thai places with more flavor but I would say the food was good here. We started with the lettuce wraps. So few thai places have tofu lettuce wraps, it was a nice surprise. The tofu was well cooked and the sauce it came with was good. I think it just lacked a little extra seasoning or spice. For my main entree, I got the Pad Kee Mao. I asked for spicy and they actually gave me spicy - love when that happens. The noddles tasted good but I just felt like it lacked a seasoning. The veggies in the noddles were well balanced which I feel has been hard to find. Most places have a ton of veggies and so few noodles.
Prices: It felt reasonable for the portion size.
Overall I think this is a good Thai place in the city.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Food and cocktail was delicious! The decor inside is really pretty, service was nice. I enjoyed the lettuce wraps with tofu & the sauce along with the pineapple fried rice, very tasty! The cocktail was great, but everything was a bit pricey.

We had a really nice meal at this upscale Thai restaurant. The space is an order of magnitude nicer than most other comparable restaurants. The service was, too. The staff were charming and checked in frequently to see how the meal was going. Cocktails were very good. The food was very good to excellent. The papaya salad was great. The chicken dumplings were very good. The Tom Kha Gai was awesome. The crispy basil duck was excellent and the beef curry was very good. I missed a couple of dishes that I have eaten elsewhere, but the menu is fine. It's a bit more expensive than average, but the setting and service justify the price.
I'll definitely go back!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information
