I haven't been to a more authentic thai place in Hamburg yet (still exploring). It is a little more expensive than usual but worth every penny if you want to have a taste of Asia.
FOOD:
If you've been in Thailand already, this place is a direct ticket back ther. If you haven´t, it is the perfect occassion to start diving into the culture. Portions are good and the quality of the food and taste reaches the expectations. I try a different dish every single time but I highly recommend the Pad Ka Prao with chicken. TIP: Pump it up by asking for an fried egg on top!
PLACE:
This is not a romantic place or area, so don´t plan your 1 year anniversary here. But it is the perfect place to have a quick lunch if you live or work in the area. Sabai Jai is my number 1 lunch place during work days. It is a restaurant for such occassions and not really for nights out or special events (bear that in mind). There is also a lot of parking available all the time and an Ubahn stop minutes if not seconds away. The restaurant is also very traditional, just watch out for little thai traditions here and there.
SERVICE:
I am still not sure about how friendly the staff is, but then again my expectations are pretty low in Germany. Somehow I feel they are always off in space instead of focusing 100% on the customer and a smile here and there would do no harm. However this is part of the whole experience at this restaurant.
Food comes very quick too and you can see it being cooked as they have a relatively open kitchen.
Mucho love,
