Excellent Thai food. Tasty. Everything is freshly made and taking into consideration any specific needs. By far, one of the best Thai restaurants I have been to. If a Thai restaurant can make a good garden roll and mixed vegetable entree taste delicious, one cannot go wrong. And this place definitely does it. My husband had chicken and my nephew duck curry and every dish was fantastic! They have lunch specials. Sirin is a very nice and Friendly waitress. The place is very clean and elegant place, They even serve roti and yellow curry.. read more

Came here on Saturday for lunch and it was very tasty. Ordered the whole fried fish with rice and a Thai tea. Service was fast, music was calming, and the food was delicious! A quick step away from the heart of downtown San Jose, I definitely recommend this place for an affordable and yummy meal. read more

I usually visit the other location downtown on San Fernando Street, but we accidentally routed to this location and gave it a try. We were wowed by the person who helped us named Pinke (I apologize if that is not how her name is spelled!). She was very attentive and very nice! The wait was a little long, so I recommend ordering ahead. The mango sticky rice and yellow curry were the stars of the show! The pad kee mao and basil fried rice were surprisingly bland. The basil fried rice was recommended to us and it was my least favorite dish. There was also a hair in the basil fried rice (pictured below) which was a disappointing :(. read more

This is a belated review but my family came here back in October for dinner after a wedding rehearsal. We were a party of about twenty people and I felt horrible for the staff that looked after us, especially since I think we only had one waitress. But she absolutely killed it and always made sure our needs were met. The food was also delicious. I got my day's protein intake and enjoyed it greatly. I'd love to come back here when it's just me and not my massive family. read more

The staff is very knowledgeable on what is/can be made gluten free! Ordered the basil thai fried rice at medium spice and this was such a good kick. The green curry cannot be made gluten free so we got the panang curry with beef at mild and its essentially no spice. read more

Mango sticky rice is what I came for and all I ordered. It was really damn good. They warmed up the mango so it was slightly caramelized on the very edge but still super fresh. read more

Admittedly, I don't eat Thai food that much, so a lot of these dishes were unfamiliar to me. I ordered what sounded good and they were all really tasty. i think it is a little bit on a pricier side, but it's downtown, so it's understandable. read more

The food was just OK, and I was starving (I had just flown in and arrived at the hotel). When I opened up my food, there was no fork and no napkins. Is that not common sense? Especially when you're delivering to a hotel. It would have only been an annoyance if the food was good, but it wasn't. Pretty disappointing. read more

Saby is good for large groups since it's there's lots of space and not too busy. I'd say the food is not bad, not mind blowing a good standard set of Thai food. read more

Saby Thai Restaurant - Fish Penang curry - Thai Near Me - San Jose, California

Went in on a random Thursday and boy it was soooo busy (there was an event going on nearby). Even with such a large rush, the staff were friendly and doing their best to put in orders and serve all the guests in a timely manner. The restaurant itself was inviting, a bit hidden, and not too far a walk from San Pedro. Food was good albeit a bit saucy for me, but nothing a side of white rice won't fix! I ordered the basil eggplant which came more with bell peppers than actual eggplant. Vegetables were cooked perfectly with a slight crunch and overall very satisfying. Flavors were good and if you're in the mood for spice, they definitely can pack some heat (when asked). They have a nice variety on their menu for whatever you're craving! read more

Nice atmosphere in the restaurant for good dinner vibes. Came here with a group of friends and we ordered the appetizer to share. I would say the entrees are pretty decent, but nothing special. Got the lamb curry and it felt like too little lamb for the cost. Their Thai tea was very very good though - not too sweet and still very fresh tea taste. The appetizers were also very nice - especially the shrimp spring rolls. read more

Came here for lunch and ordered to go. Ambiance was great. Decor is minimal and updated. Very clean inside. Service was efficient. To go orders usually take 15-20 minutes so it's best to call and order ahead. The lunch menu has great specials for $15 dollars you get entree curry, rice and a side salad. I ordered the the basil eggplant with chicken and it was delicious. Portions were great. You can adjust the spice level and they give you fresh red chili's. Wish they offered more rice though because I ran out. read more

Had pad kee mow and it was just okay. If you put pad see ew next to each other, you wouldn't tell the difference in taste or look. The pad keeps mow just tasted like pad see ew with basil. Disappointing that this and another thai place can't get it right. Nevertheless, it was good and generally what I would pay. It's close to work and the food came out fast. Would come here again but I wouldn't order this again. read more

It's pretty good in my opinion but not super great. Mainly because it's clear the THAI B.B.Q CHICKEN was pre cooked and reheated. Parts of the chicken were cold. Other users were overcooked and dry. The papaya salad was good but the sticky rice tasted like regular rice. Doesn't that usually have coconut or simmering? However, the GOONG GA BAWG was very good! It's like a shrimp rolled up in an egg roll skin. Lastly, the Penang curry was pretty good. read more

Came by on a Thursday night and was not a single person inside around 7:15 pm. The vegetable egg rolls were free but they were mushy inside. The roti with curry sauce was too oily and little burnt. The Thai boat noodle soup was meh. The broth was weird and a bit too sour. The roast duck noodle soup was very salty and the duck tasted old. The service was nice and food came out quickly. This is the second location of their original restaurant. read more

A little tricky to find but worth the find! No clear sign of where this place was except a small poster on the door, but the insides were welcoming and tastefully decorated. They have a good wine selection, but the red curries and the tom kha soup are what will have us coming back for more. The soup had large pieces of tofu and made for a delightfully healthy broth. The rice came in a cute coconut-like bowl. read more

Very friendly staff. The restaurant has a nice ambiance and is inviting. We had the Pad see ew and Pad Kee Mow. Both were very good and well done, however not much difference in taste between the two dishes. The portion size were on the smaller side though. read more

I've been here twice already and I love their roti for an appetizer to share and yellow chicken curry with rice for my entree. Those are my go-to items to get. The roti is crispy and so good dipped in the curry. For the yellow chicken curry, I get medium spice which has a good kick to it. If you can't handle spicy, then stick to mild. The curry has good flavor and makes a great meal. The decor is nice and all of the waittresses provides friendly service. I'd continue to come back. read more

DISGUSTING pad thai. FLAVORLESS pineapple fried rice. WATERY thai tea. Only decent dish worth ordering was the seafood tom kha soup

Food: 5/5, food was super flavorful, and tasty Service: 6/5 (not a typo) l - food came out quick, server was SUPER nice, and deal with a lotta my families dietary restrictions. Ambiance: 4/5: its a "small" but not at all cramped area to eat in, decorations are simple and nice, also roses on the table All in all, get the mango sticky rice, its SUPER good, also interesting presentation, the rice is blue (through usage of some flowers, not dye) read more

Appreciated the lunch specials menu. Meals come with rice and salad. Had the ginger shrimp with bell peppers and onions. Good portion for lunch and it tasted fresh. Not the best Thai I've ever had, but I didn't hate it. I would return. Enjoyed the quiet classy vibe to the place. Added an extra star for this because downtown doesn't have enough nice places likes this for lunch. Menu has all the staples: curries, pad Thais, salads, etc. read more

Overall: The service and restaurant interior was great, but the food was oily. I would likely eat at another Thai place before coming back here. ~SPECIFICS~ Parking: No parking lot ): But there are ParkSJ garages that offer free parking for 90 minutes down the street ($1 for every extra 15min). Bonus that I felt pretty safe walking to and from my car. Seating: A good amount of seating and a pretty long table that can accommodate large parties. Bathroom: The bathroom was relatively clean, but a little crusty with the sticky floors. Food: I tried the roti bread with curry and pad see ew, and with both dishes, I've felt like I've had better versions of them elsewhere. - Roti bread with curry: I was not super impressed with how it looked when it came out. Slices of oily bread were laying on a bed of shredded cabbage (which didn't really make it look more appetizing) and some were burnt. The curry was really thin, almost like a water consistency. Surprisingly, the roti bread was flaky and tasted good when dunked into the curry. - Pad see ew: I was really happy with the portion size (typical big Thai food size) and was okay with the taste, though it felt like something was missing (still unsure exactly what it was). The flavor was very strong in the sweet Thai soy sauce and the texture was really oily :/. It was so oily that the sides of the plate also had oil and after eating, I felt like I was wearing an oil lipstick. Service: The waiter was very kind and attentive, great service! read more

Service was good. Food was hit or miss. The tofu larb was excellent (and I'm not a tofu fan), but my green curry chicken was watery and lacking flavor. In the grand scheme of Thai food there are better options. read more

I only did take out and Happy to say the food traveled well and was still warm and very tasty. I got the Pad See Ew with chicken. The vegetables were cooked perfectly, chicken tender and noodles cooked just right. I am very picky about my Thai food and been looking for a place. I am happy I took a chance and will order again and try the rest of the menu. The only negative I have was I didn't get my sauces and chopsticks. read more

Got this for to-go since it was walking distance from my hotel. I got the Chiangmai Kow Soi which was tasty but it was sweeter than I expected and more runny compared to other Khao Soi's I've had. It was still delicious. I also got a papaya salad Thai style which was decent. Overall it was spectacular as wasn't disappointing. Good choice for a Thai craving. One more warning is that I legit felt the onion/garlic breath the next day so whatever they had mixed in was STRONG. read more

The 5 stars is for the small, cozy and secluded environment inside. The other neighboring restaurants are either huge places with hundreds of seats like Farmers Union and Olla, or places for rowdy and drink like the San Pedro food court and the Brit, or places to eat quick and leave like La Victoria and Nick the Greek. Unlike the neighboring places, this location seems like the only place on that city block which would work for sitting awhile for talking. Fuji Sushi next door have worked too, but it has not opened back up yet. The drunken noodles with chicken had most of its strength centered on the flat noodles, which had strong flavors of sweet soy, and the strong aroma of bamboo. Unlike the Tee Nee Thai noodles which are fried longer in the bottom of the pan until the noodles have a slightly singed crust, the Saby noodles did not have that grilled scent - just the sweet soy and the bamboo. Also with the Saby drunken noodles, the chicken breast pieces were sliced much more thinly than the the chicken pieces from the noodle dishes at both San Carlos Pizza and at On A Roll. The thin slices soaked up the sauce from the noodles really well; however the sauce seemed to drown out the chicken flavor. The Saby chicken slices were also drier and tougher, which is more common with breast meat than with dark meat; although Panda Express still does well with the white meat in their stringbean chicken entree. So, shrimp might be a better choice than chicken maybe, for the drunken noodles. read more

The food was decent; I tried this place out because I was a regular at the original Sa By Thai on Second and San Salvador, and I stopped going because the original owners sold it, and I was glad to hear that they opened another place. Ordered the Pad Kee Mao with chicken, and it was stir fried well with good flavor throughout. I would come back again on a weekend. The decor was nice, and the service was friendly and prompt. The only thing is that they do charge a little extra for using a Discover or American Express, and I understand because I heard their processing fees were higher. read more
