Sabai Thai is one of my favorite restaurants. The food is always tasty, fresh, and delicious. It is always prepared and plated well. The ambiance is serene, peaceful, and delightful. Great place to eat in NYC. read more

My friend and I made reservations at 6:30pm on a Friday. We had intended to go for restaurant week, and the website said that Sabai was participating. However, when I got to the restaurant, I was told that they were not participating. When I brought this up to the staff, they did comment that several people made the same mistake earlier in the week. If that was the case, then why not correct the restaurant week website, or make it very obvious on your website that you aren't participating? Both of us were starving, and I had put in a birthday request at the restaurant, so we decided to stay. The ambiance is classy, and this would be a great spot for a business dinner or date night. I ordered a massaman curry with roti and chicken ($29), and my friend ordered the chuchi shrimp ($30) and curry puff ($16). Prices are a bit above average for the portion size, but justified by the area. We both enjoyed our dishes; the flavors were on point! Then, for my friend's birthday, they gave us mochi ice cream and a card signed by the staff! That was a nice touch that overrode the restaurant week debacle. Service was fantastic. There were multiple check backs and water refills. I would recommend Sabai Thai for a fancy night out, and I would return to try other dishes. read more

I only had one item because I'm on a weight loss journey. This was my cheat meal and boy was it worth every calorie!!! I had a curry dish called khao soi. I had mine with chicken. PHENOMENAL!!! I ate the entire thing in one sitting. Thai curry is some of the best in the world. This one was no different. If they offered this with crispy duck it would be amazing! I feel like everything is overpriced these days but the meal was delicious! If I could take off half a star for the price, I would. My only gripe. read more

Sabai Thai was okay, I got to sample a few dishes during restaurant week and had a pleasant enough experience. The som tam papaya salad starter was good, though maybe a bit too sweet and not as spicy or balanced as I've had at other Thai restaurants. My main, the Thai style udon noodles, was very ordinary. Neither the flavors nor the heat really stood out much, unfortunately. Service was mixed; staff was friendly, but it was quite some time before anyone came by to refill water between starters and entrees, even during a Tuesday evening that wasn't especially busy. All in all, a decent spot, but don't expect to be blown away. read more

I stopped into Saban Thai for dinner on Tuesday night. Even on a Tuesday there was a crowd. Without a reservation, i took a seat at the bar. The bartender was kind and efficient. I ordered the mezcal cocktail and was not disappointed! For dinner, i had the crab fried rice. It was pretty good, not amazing, but good. I don't know that i would go back, since there are so many options in NYC, but i don't regret choosing Saban for a close to my hotel dinner before turning in. read more

Sabai Thai - Soft Shell Crab Fried Rice - Thai Near Me - New York, New York

Overall: I went here on a friday night with my wife. Reservations were easy to get and the restaurant seated us immediately. The food was outstanding, especially the shrimp cake appetizer. So many things looked great, I'm eager to go try more. Its a little expensive and the tables are kind of close so it gets loud, but overall the food was well worth it. Food: 5 Drinks: 4 Service: 4 Value: 3 Atmosphere: 3 Food: We were blown away by our food. We got the shrimp cake appetizer, beef pad see ew, and chicken gang daang (red curry). The shrimp cake was amazing, highly recommend. The noodles and curry were also delicious, with the one complaint that there could have been slightly more rice with the curry. But overall, everything was wonderful. Drinks: We each got a cocktail. The drink menus were generally on theme for the restaurant and were generally very tasty. Service: Servers were friendly and generally attentive. They did a good job helping to guide us around the menu and navigating spice levels. Very helpful. Value: Appetizers are around $15 each, entrees are $25-35, and cocktails are generally in the $15-20 range. On its face that isn't terrible, but it should probably have been a lot cheaper considering how much of the meal was rice and noodles. Atmosphere: Its a cool restaurant with authentic decorations. Its a little bit loud and the tables are pushed quite close. We heard just about everything the table next to us had to say. read more

Mediocre restaurant week experience. Massaman curry with flank steak was subpar. Potatoes weren't cooked through. I will say the flatbread was tasty, but I wish I'd been served a small side of rice with the curry. I regret not ordering the Chicken with the udon noodles as that looked much more interesting. Chicken dumplings and mochi didn't add anything special to the meal. Lychee Cocktail too sweet per friends. read more

It's my first time in New York and I was looking for something in walking distance, I stumbled upon this restaurant which worked because I love Thai food. It was around 3pm on Sunday and the restaurant wasn't busy so we were able to be immediately seated. The staff were very friendly and checked on us at the right time. The pad Thai was a 10/10 and I loved the spring rolls, those were 1000/10. It was my first time trying the mango sundae but it was so delicious, not too sweet. The vibe of the restaurant was very nice. I loved the dim light. I recommend this place to anyone! read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE! Amazing service, lovely atmosphere, and the food was great! Hostess, bartender, and server were all so welcoming and greeted us with a smile. The lighting was so just so romantic and done right in every single way. The best part was the food--everything was great! Chicken Satay Skewers 10/10 Crispy Basil Duck 8.5/10 Chicken and Rice 8/10 So, so, so good. Would 100% go out of my way to come back here if I was craving Thai again. Mwah! Chefs kiss. read more

We came here for Restaurant Week as it fortunately was a restaurant with ample amount of availability on a Thursday evening. Similar to the other dinner offerings around town, this was a 3 course offering. For the appetizers, we settled for the satay skewers with tofu & the spring rolls. It was great that each of the appetizers had a veggie option to it. That was really helpful. Nice presentation too. We did get cocktails to enjoy with our food. Mine was a mezcal-based cocktail (I forget the name), but it was really good. My girl had an off-the-menu gin based cocktail especially recommended for Restaurant Week and she had no complaints either. As for the main course, I went with the eggplant basil. This was quite yummy and also not super heavy. The eggplant portion was quite generous. For the dessert, I got the mango mochi. Couldn't go wrong with that choice in the summer. Great restaurant and even better vibes for Restaurant Week. read more

Came here on a weekend for a late dinner. The interior was nice, low lit, and intimate, but casual enough to come not dressed up. After browsing the menu for a bit, I ordered the drunken noodles, while my dining partner ordered the pad thai. I asked if they could cook the beef more medium, but they could not honour that request because the meat is precooked. Bummer. It was fine though, because the meat ended up being nice and tender already. The flavours were also spot on as was the texture of the noodles. This was definitely a great rendition to this classic. I tasted the pad Thai, and wow! It was also very delicious and a great balance of sweet, sour, and spicy. The few negatives were they charge you per glass of soda, and the glass is pretty small.... as in gone in three or four sips. The lighting was also very harsh in the section we were sitting at. Service was also not very attentive, and we had to finally flag down the waitress. Still, the execution of the food was definitely top tier and spectacular. Definitely left my tastebuds happy. read more

Overall: B // 4 stars Returned to this upscale Thai restaurant after a reasonable first visit; they offer an intriguing menu with reasonable quality food on the more pricier side, but their reservations are readily available even on a last minute Friday night, which is the biggest plus. (Cantaloop: A) - Very subtle, yet pretty cocktail that is cantaloupe-first, with background notes of citrus and other fruits. Pleasant and easy to palette drink. (Sabai Sampler: B) - The selection of sampling items is not the best choice as everything is monotone and fried; that being said, the flavors and cook on everything was impressive -- the chicken satay was tender and the peanut sauce was addictive; the fried dumplings were moist on the inside and paired nicely with all three sauces. (Pad Thai Hor Kai: C) - Every time I see their menu, their special Pad Thai has a downgrade from Lobster to Spot Prawn to Marinated Chicken. While the chicken was incredibly tender and the Pad Thai exhibited nice flavor, it is quite hard to justify the $29 price point for this dish. The egg omelette looks nice, but the hacked cutting of the chicken and it not staying put kind of ruins what would've been otherwise a neat presentation. (Mango Sticky Rice: A) - One of the most beautiful takes on this dish I've had in NYC; smart choice of using small portion of forbidden rice to add that purple tint; the mango rose is beautiful and tender with precision; the coconut sauce also adds immense flavor.

The food: overall we really enjoyed everything that we had at Sabai. The pad see ew was great with wonderful flavor and perfectly cooked. I really have zero complaints about anything that we had. The Service: service was great. The wait staff was attentive and friendly, and we weren't left waiting for our food for too long at all. The ambiance: while the ambience is nothing special and isn't the coolest restaurant you've ever been to it's still very nice and very good for a casual dinner. Overall, I will definitely come back to Sabai Thai for decent Thai food and have zero complaints about our experience whatsoever. read more

Great location. Beautiful decorations, which provides a unique vibe. Service was great, even though it was a busy Friday evening, our waitstaff took our orders quickly, and checked on us to make sure we were good with everything. The best part of course is the food. The appetizer we picked, pork belly, was a pleasant surprise. And I loved the rich and creamy flavor of my Massaman curry, my friend loved her Pad Thai as well. read more

Went with an old friend near my hotel - solid fare, had the Tom Kha Gai, which was delicious... super creamy broth with just the right level of heat. Also had the panang curry with brown rice and roast duck. It was a touch cold that evening and this dish hit the spot. Service was friendly and attentive and a lively atmosphere with a consistent line of patrons waiting to be seated at the front. Thai Negroni cocktail had a bit too much Suze and veered too much toward the bitter end of the spectrum. All in all this is not the best Thai food I've had but it was solid and would happily return. read more

Gorgeous restaurant with staff that went above and beyond. My partner enjoyed the eggplant basil (vegan-though he's not!). I got the vegetarian pad Thai (note that the pad Thai comes with a fish sauce but they can make it without) which was good. For dessert, we split the banana cake with homemade vanilla ice cream. The ice cream was very yummy but the cake could've been sweeter. It tasted healthy! LOL. Restaurant was accessible, but they had to move tables for me to enter and exit my table with my rollator (a fancy walker). Gluten-free and vegan options are clearly marked on the menu. read more

Ordered the pad see ew and was super flavorful! Drinks were expensive but that is to be expected in the city, and it was a strong drink. Our server was great. My only complaint is that there is only one single stall bathroom in the whole place for men and women. I am not docking a star because the rest of the experience was great but we were seated right next to the bathroom and there ended up being a line for the bathroom for almost the whole meal! read more

Authentic Thai spot in Manhattan! The staff are Thai and super welcoming. We were celebrating a birthday and there's a cake cutting fee, but the restaurant gave a balloon and a card signed by staff which was really thoughtful. The interior is chic and a great spot for a date or big parties. The sampler is a great dish to start as it has a little bit of every appetizer. This is super filling though and every appetizer tasted great! I love how there were three different sauces. The drunken noodles had a nice kick and good wok hei. The Khao soi is a very generous portion! read more

I came here with a few friends for a celebratory dinner. For appetizers we had the chicken satai with peanut sauce, garlic shrimp. They were both deliciously umami, and the peanut sauce was addicting. For our main meals we had the pineapple fried rice, panang curry and pad thai. My favourite was the panang curry, which was one of the best I've ever had. The pineapple fried rice and pad thai were also well seasoned and overall enjoyable. I would recommend sabai thai and I would come again. One of the top thai meals I've had. read more

We wanted to eat out for dinner after work but didn't have a reservation. We saw this spot had some tables and walked in though unfortunately the tables were actually reserved out so we got seats at the bar. The bartender was super friendly and very conversational. The gentleman was friendly and made sure we were always good with everything. The food itself was on par with other good Thai restaurants. We got the pad thai and rolls to share. They were both pretty good though I think the chicken could've been cooked a tad longer. Vibes are nice and in line with other modern style Thai restaurants. Good spot for a date but also could be good for small groups. read more

Top Notch Thai Cuisine. This spot delivers some of the most authentic flavorful Thai cuisine you will find. Great ambiance and service to support, I will certainly look to return and try more items on the menu. The Massaman curry with roti was knock out delivering all the flavors you expect while the Pad Khi Mao hit on both flavor and spice. Put this on your hit list if a fan of Thai cuisine. read more

Excellent setup, quick service, low noise levels, and nice interiors is what we noticed as we did a last minute walk-in at this place. The place wasn't busy and we got a very comfortable seating and got straight to ordering. Food overall was very tasty and the Tom Kha ($11) is a must try if you enjoy a tangy flavor. I tried the Mock Duck Tamarind ($24) from their Vegan section and enjoyed the dish. A little on the sweeter side to my liking, but pretty well balanced when you add a little spice to it. The mock duck felt like it was made from soy protein and has a good chew to it! One cannot go wrong with the traditional Gang Daang ($22) which was fairly coconut milk forward but was tasty (and not spicy). Service is quick and food arrives within 20 minutes of ordering. read more

Great Thai spot in the city! The interior is lovely and modern, great for a date spot or catching up with friends. They also have a bar area if you only want to get drinks. Friendly and attentive staffs even though they were really busy during dinner. My friend and I loved the food and drinks here! For drinks, our favorites were the lychee martini, mamaung margarita (on the sweeter side) and espresso martini. As for food, we loved the curry puffs and Pla Rad Rink (whole fish with bones). The special pad Thai with prawn was good but nothing spectacular, would recommend regular pad Thai instead of paying extra for the large prawn. Will be back to try other items on their menu! read more

Enjoyed our meal here. Usually Thai iced tea is pretty standard but the one here is the best I've tried, not too sweet strong Thai tea flavor. Drunken noodles and basil fried rice were great. khao soi was good but not as authentic as I've had before, tasted more like a massaman. Food was pretty spicy but worth it!! read more

The staff was really nice and there was no wait to be seated. However, the food was pretty basic. I got the shrimp cakes, the pad see ew and honey ribs. The shrimp cakes crunch was nice but the shrimp inside was still a little too chewy for my preference. i was expecting something more similar to crab cakes. The pad see ew was standardly good but nothing amazing to be charging $20+ for one. The honey ribs was nice and tender and came with some rice but the flavor wasn't a big standout and i was expecting more depth to it. Overall, the food was just ok. Nothing bad but nothing too amazing. read more

Love the tranquil vibe about this place. Kicked up Thai food with fresh ingredients and the right amount of heat to get you singing Hallelujah I can feel the heat and flavor! Pad Thai, Pad Kee mao and Pad see ewe weee all on point and worthy of your tastebuds if your a noodler. The mango salad was tasty and had a little sour and sweet and did not have heat. Go for the Papaya salad if you're looking for some shaved Thai chilies. Sticky ribs were sweet with a soy glaze and fell right off the bone. Thai iced tea wasn't too sweet and hit the spot to cool down the palate. This place was delicious and will be back to try another curry. Ground chicken Thai basil tasted authentic and loved the soft fried egg on top of the rice. read more

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. read more

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. read more
