Best authentic thai food, and great service. Different from your average Thai restaurant.

This restaurant has taken a while to establish, but we were pleasantly surprised with some delicious Thai meals. We ordered takeaway, asked how long it would take and they offered to call us as it was coming out of the kitchen. When we arrived to pick up our food it was only a few minutes late and in that time we were able to note that the place was packed inside and out. We hoped the food was good based on that. And it was ! Our guest had only just come back from a holiday in a Thailand and she couldn't stop commenting on the quality of the Thai Green Curry. The Massaman Curry was also excellent. The pork belly was a little disappointing. A very good option in Old Bar. read more

Gorgeous modern food and exceptional, friendly service. Love the environmental considerations. All food cooked to order and they're happy to customise for dietary reasons or personal preference. Modern, quirky, friendly, delicious! I had the Meang Kana followed by tamarind salmon, and couldn't resist the tea creme brulee. Ate too much but it was soooo good! Easy to find, on street parking and a public car park just around the corner if necessary. Can't think of anything better than a stroll along the gorgeous Old Bar beach, followed by dinner at Sai Thai! read more

A passionate chef who is providing some well thought out thai food in a seaside town. I tried 2 dishes, both from their list of recommended items. The first - Salmon in Tamarind Sauce - was a flavour hit with slow cooked onions on top of thinly sliced salmon fillets that had been deep fried. I'm from the school who believe salmon should be served just cooked and so felt that despite the flavour punch, this approach didn't do the salmon justice. And as I had take away, the 15 mins between serving and eating probably didn't help. I also went for what I thought would be an oldie and a goodie - chicken with cashew nuts but the chef's take on this was quite different - stir fried cubes of chicken with lots of spring onions and dried chillies in a sticky paste. No sauce to soak up the rice with but a delicious taste just the same. Wish I had been able to try more dishes to see how they were done - will have to come back next time I'm in Old Bar. read more

Who would have thought a little village like Old Bar would have a Thai restaurant that could match any . Sai Thai has fabulous authentic tasting Thai food. I usually start with a shot glass - sparkling taste sensations as it goes down! Mains are tasty. Sometimes pork overlooked IMHO. Pluses: Smiling friendly manager. Negatives: service staff variable. Delays likely when they are busy. read more
