    Candies for the drunken noodles takes the spicy away
    Adolph A.

    The service was great. I had the drunken noodles The Best drunken noodles. I've had. We have gone to Mexico City, Texas, Arizona, Utah, California. These are the best noodles.

    Thai tea - too sweet, needs better execution
    Jason G.

    Came for dinner around 8:30 pm. Small place with some hard seating inside. Here's what I tried: * Pumpkin Curry with chicken: Sauce good, chicken was fine, but the pumpkin tasted off and was spit out. * Pad Thai with shrimp: Enjoyed this dish. Tasty. Sauce was perfect amount of sweet and sour. But shrimp could have been fresher. And noodles portion was very small. * Thai tea - Very sweet, some aftertaste, maybe needs less condensed milk and better balance. Portions bit on the smaller side. Service was average. Overall this place could have been 5 stars if they used fresher ingredients and had larger portions for the price. So its 3 stars.

    So far this is the ONLY Thai restaurant we go to and worth going to. When we crave Thai food we go here. End of discussion! This place is a "mom and pop" restaurant that one feels welcomed and the food is absolutely delicious! You will all AGREE with me once you try it!! (We've had tried other places around North County but this has the best and most consistent food). Just my two cents here! :))

    Yellow Curry

    Yellow Curry ($15.95) - I loved how creamy and flavorful this yellow curry was! The chili oil added great heat to this dish, too. I'll be back to try more of their dishes!

    Thai fried rice

    I compare their Thai fried rice to everywhere around the world, no one can compare to their flavors and spice! Don't miss out!!

    Chicken Satay

    In my regular rotation of Thai restaurants in north San Diego County. This time, got Pad Thai with Shrimp (0 spice level) and Volcano Noodles with Pork (4 spice level). Both very good! The food here never disappoints!

    We were in the Oceanside area looking for a Thai place, open later on a Friday night, and not too far from where we were and found Sabai. Yelp check in gives you a little deal to use, so that was nice. We called our order in but somehow there was confusion and it did not get placed. I happened to check after waiting about 15 minutes and discovered the error. The person that took our order apologized for the delay. There was a water dispenser which is nice for people who are waiting for their to go orders, and that night that was 75 % of the orders. There were 6 people waiting for to go orders and eventually we got our to go order. The food was good. It was cooked well, tasted good, looked good. Service was nice. Plenty of parking in the huge lot. Prices are comparable to other places. Convenient - not far from the 5 freeway.

    This is the best thai spot in north county and might be my favorite in San Diego. The food here is soooo good and they know how to really bring true heat to food!! Service is quick and super nice. Also love the cute art and when they play lo-fi music. Every dish we have ordered here is so good.

    Volcano Noodles, with shrimp add mushroom & eggplant.

    The absolute best!! Love the food, love the service. My favorite go to Thai restaurant in Oceanside. Comfortable and relaxing. The owner is the sweetest with the best customer service. Above and beyond.

    One of my most favorite places to get Thai food! I love the staff and the food comes super fast! It feels like home in here and it's just an amazing experience and food!

    This place is the best!! Love the pad Thai and green curry!! Great food amazing service fast friendly only closed on Tuesday

    Drunkin' noodles and tofu eggplant stir-fry
    Krisielle P.

    Ordered here few times now and they haven't disappoint. Food was pretty good and customer service was good. The lady in the counter was nice when I had picked up my orders. Spice level is your own call. I did a 8/10 spice level and that was pretty spicy for me. Overall, I recommend and will order from here again. Oh and I order their curry fried rice and it was so good! I ordered it with shrimp. It was delish! I demolish that on my own.

    I can't believe I hadn't tried this place sooner. I went for lunch and had one of the best shrimp…read morepad Thai I've ever had. Definitely the best in Oceanside form what I've tried. The shrimp was juicy and the flavor was perfectly umami and had the right amount of fish sauce taste. The thai tea with boba was great as well I thought it was the perfect sweetness and not too overpowering. This lovely couple next to us asked if it was our first time there and recommended the honey roasted duck and I'm so glad they did because it was delicious! Perfectly crispy and juicy with such a nice sauce. Also, had the northern larb and it was pretty good and really good portion! I just think I'd get the northeastern larb instead next time as I'm used to and prefer the brighter flavors. Also, the pork skin chips they gave were stale unfortunately. The interior decor was also really cute and I quite liked the seating arrangement. People were also really nice there!

The service is always very good. I love the big metal water Cups that keep it cold and don't need refilling as often, especially with the spicy dishes. It had a lot of flavor and it was spicy. I had a cold last week and now all I have is cough so I was craving a little spice. It hit the spot. I also tasted the cashew nut chicken and that sauce is really good too. I still love the heart shaped rice. It's kind of far so I don't go often, but they are opening one in vista (much closer to me) so I'm excited for that. Perfect winter comfort food!

    I definitely recommend this place I went there 3-4 weeks ago…read morefor a tom kha soup and a sticky mango rice, at first I thought it was a little expensive or not worth it for the amount, had it to go, but I was wrong,the soup was so tasteful and delicious, the sticky rice was perfect, not to sweet, not overly sticky.

Came back yesterday for the same soup, and it was amazing again, had a really small inconvenience, called them to let them know and staff was so nice and told me that they could make me another but there was no need, soup was amazing

I will now never go back. We ordered yellow curry with chicken and a pad see ew. The noodles were over cooked and inedibly salty with zero depth of flavor. The most egregious part was the chicken in the curry. Not only was the portion of meat and now veggies laughably small, but the chicken was horrible. It tasted fishy and fell apart in my mouth and I had to spit it out. None of us liked any of the food. I was really bummed that we spent so much money on this meal that was supposed to be a nice break from cooking for the week. We threw away the majority of the order because of how bad it was. Such a bummer because we used to come here all the time. Not sure why they cut corners and skimped on portions.

The servers were attentive and checked on us a few times, which was nice. The store looked clean and well kept not loud at all. We started with an appetizer that included veggie rolls. Those were generously filled, though not really my thing (vegetarians would probably love them). The rest of the appetizer was tasty. For the main I ordered a steak dish. It came on a bed of vegetables with the spicy sauce and nothing else--no rice. The flavor wasn't bad, but the steak itself was only lukewarm, almost like it had been sitting ready for a while. That temperature really threw me off and was the weakest part of the meal. The highlight (and honestly the reason I came) was the mango sticky rice. That was excellent and lived up to expectations. Overall a solid but not outstanding experience. Service and the dessert carried it, but the lukewarm steak held it back for me. I'd be open to trying a few other dishes next time.
