One of the more recent establishments to open on Church St is Sabai. And whilst only being a recent entry to the Richmond food scene it is establishing itself as the go to Thai restaurant for Richmond locals.
The layout of Sabai is bright and welcoming with the seating available on both the first and second floor of the building. Run by a husband and wife team (both trained chef's) the service at Sabai is very attentive and you can tell the produce used in all dishes is of a high quality.
Now to the food, Sabai has some great lunch specials for $12 with two favourites being the house fried rice with prawns and free range eggs and the red curry beef with snake beans and steamed rice. A big highlight with the fried rice is that they use fresh (and decent sized) prawns, which is something or a rarity these days in a good fried rice. In terms of beers the selection is small, but the essential Singha beer is present and something which should be paired with any good Thai meal.
For desert a big thumbs up for the coconut ice cream, which came in a very generous serving size and with a great taste and texture.
Overall a great meal and one would have to say the best Thai in Richmond, can't wait to come back for dinner. read more
