Stumbled upon Sa Thai by accident, while in my way to another restaurant I passed Sa Thai and thought, this looks cute and decided why not. Was seated immediately. Love the trendy ambiance and the friendly waiter/manager Oscar. Food was delicious. This is my go to when I crave Thai food when I'm in Albuquerque. read more

Most importantly the jungle noodles were underwhelming. The noodles lacked the expected level of spice and did not reflect the flavors typically associated with Thai cuisine. Overall, this was a disappointing visit, and I do not plan to return. I visited for the lunch special around 1:00 PM, and the restaurant was not particularly busy at the time. I placed an order for the lunch special as the spicy jungle noodles. When my food arrived, I realized I had not been given any utensils. I waited approximately five minutes before the server returned, at which point I had to request them. This was the moment when I began to feel that the level of service was lacking. What stood out most was the noticeable difference in service provided to another table. A group of three seated nearby by the same server received a much more attentive and welcoming experience. They were promptly offered water, given the soup of the day, and encouraged to place their order right away. While I understand that regular customers may sometimes receive more familiarity, the disparity in treatment made the experience feel inconsistent and unwelcoming. As someone who works only a few minutes away, I was hoping to find a place I could return to regularly. Unfortunately, this experience did not encourage that. read more

Sa Thai - Jungle Noodles - Salad Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

My favorite Thai place in ABQ so far. It gets busy so expect to wait 15+ minutes for your food. I ordered the drunken noodles (Pad Kee Mao) and it was really good. My friend also ordered the Tom Kha soup and she enjoyed it and was able to add a side of rice noodles too. The ambiance is lively but chill. Servers were kind and apologetic about the wait but I'm glad the food was fresh. read more

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! read more

Sa Thai - Peanut curry with tofu - Salad Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

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. read more

Sa Thai - Beef Pad Thai - Salad Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

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 read more

***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. read more

I've been here a couple times now and each time the food was delicious. The portion sizes are just right too. Not too big and not too small. The manager is also very nice! I had the jungle noodles and they were super tasty. You can pick your spice level too. I went with a spice level of 4, but if you are brave enough, you can go all the way to 10! Recommend 100% read more

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! read more

Sa Thai - L16 - Salad Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Sa Thai is our GO TO restaurant! The food is authentic and hands down beats the many other Thai restaurants in the area. Thai dishes like boat noodles, papaya salad and khao soi are among the few dishes that you would be able to get if you visited Thailand yourself. Taste and flavor profiles is as close to authentic as you can get - we have had a lot of Thai food over the years :-). The other better part of this restaurant is it's staff ! These hard working folks always makes us feel welcome and are extremely helpful in getting our meals right & timely. We love supporting restaurants that wants & appreciates our business. read more

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. read more

Sa Thai - Spicy Jungle Noodles - Salad Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

Really good! The service is great. Our waitress was so nice. The restaurant itself was also really clean. I had the pad see ew, which is one of my favorites, and it did not disappoint. I got the lunch portion, so it's smaller serving size, but comes with a yummy soup to start. I also had the tofu spring rolls. I loved the peanut sauce! I'd eat here again. read more

Great food and service ! Everything came out very quickly, and was delicious. The spice levels do run a bit low for a Thai place though so I'd definitely say to get medium instead of a mild. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Sa Thai - Salad Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

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. read more

Sa Thai - Beef Pad Thai - Salad Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I came here for my son's birthday. This was a great experience. I had the Spicy Jungle Noodles with Tofu. They were delicious, made just right, very filling. We were happy to see that they had lunch specials. This also included delicious soup to start. Everyone in our party raved over their dishes. My daughter had a chicken curry dish that she really liked. The atmosphere was clean and very pleasant. The wait staff were friendly and attentive. We all agreed that we would come back again. read more

This is the first thai place we have had in Albuquerque, and it doesn't disappoint. Not at all. It has a nice cute vibe, you can kind've see Sandia from this location inside, and the details in this place are top notch. The have a hand painted drawing, the tuk tuk taxi cabs, and a nice decor. We had the spring roles, and the peanut sauce is fantastic. Nice little appetizer before the real meal. We tend to cook yellow curry's and pad thai. The pad thai here is similar to what we make, which is rare for us to find. There is plenty of sauce, flavor, and we could go alittle higher on spice next time. Overall, the pad thai was enough just to split. The yellow curry, absolutely amazing. It's in our top 5 for currys. This has more of a street feel, vs like Samui Thai in Legacy west (Dallas). It's delicious, and everything is cooked well. What sets this place apart, it is the decor and the service. Super friendly, nice staff. I'm a fan of this place. read more

Sa Thai is definitely my go to for Thai food in ABQ! We returned soon after our first visit and again had a fantastic meal with great service in a clean, calm, relaxing environment. On this visit, we chose chicken satay, papaya salad and pad Thai. All were excellent, and we didn't have any leftovers - unusual for us! The portion sizes are good, but we just ate it all while there. This is one of my favorite restaurants in ABQ! read more

Disappointing experience, and if you like spicy, steer clear because their version of medium isn't even mild. Great service, and I love Thai food, but boy... That was the most lackluster plate of noodles I've had in a while. Ordered egg rolls first, which were good. Nice and crispy! Then pad see ew for my entree, which gets a resounding "meh". Beef was overdone, and I could barely taste the sauce; might as well have been eating plain rice noodles. Not exaggerating when I say it was $17 for flavorless fuel. Won't be back. read more

I have been here twice now and it's some of the best Thai food I've had. I've tried both the Pad Thai and the Yellow Curry now and both main dishes were amazing and packed with flavor. I also tried the potstickers and they were amazing. The service here is phenomenal. Was checked on multiple times and hot drink refills twice with my drink never running empty. The place is very clean with a modern look. With all of this, I can see why it's busy. Do yourself a favor and check them out. read more

What to say? Absolute fire. Love walking into a place and being greeted. The people here are very genuine. I've been a couple times. I live in Santa Fe. If I was local to ABQ this would be such a regular spot. Everything I've had has been delicious. Nice expansive menu. They have some dishes that many Thai restaurants don't have. Restaurant is bright, clean and open. Can't wait to go back and try something else! read more

Newly opened in the old Slapfish location. Most new restaurants are hit or miss as they try to get things going - not here though. Food was good & service was excellent. May have been because we were one of a couple of customers. I had the Larb. It was good, a little too salty for me. But management was receptive to my report. The wife had Peanut Curry with chicken. Delicious, not overly spicy - matching the way she ordered it. There was plenty curry to take home for another day. We'll be back for another meal. read more

Located in the old Slapfish location on Paseo. They've been open for 9 days now. Service was quick and super friendly. We had the egg rolls for an appetizer. They were light and crispy with a sweet peanut dipping sauce. I ordered the peanut curry with chicken. They offer 8 levels of spice. I chose mild. Food came out quickly and was hands down delicious. Nothing to complain about. Portions were typical of NM standards...so think large (again, no complaints). read more

Everything was fresh and tasty and the service was great even though it was very busy. The Papaya Pok Pok (E San style) was refreshing and spicy goodness. The pork larb was very good with a hint of lime that really brightened the dish. The spicy jungle noodles with chicken was really good. The noodles were silky perfection. To finish it off, we had the sticky mango rice that tasted like a tropical rice pudding. Can't wait to go back and try more! read more
