Sabai Sabai

If you like Spicy Thai, this is the place. I ordered 10 on spice level for Basil Chicken dish and they fulfilled that level. Finally! So many places provide a level 3 at best. It’s loaded with all the goodness a Thai Basil Chicken dish should have. Rice was packaged on the side, so there was plenty of it. Authentic, simple ambiance. I dig this place. 👍

The food was amazing. I ordered the Pad Thai with chicken and veggies. Heat at 3, but I love spicy, so I will definitely be pumping up the heat next time. They added Mango Sticky Rice to my order under special requests as it wasn't listed on Grub Hub. The Sticky Rice was amazing. I will definitely be ordering from them again!.

Super cute place and sweet lady serving! We tried the Sabai Curry, Prik King & fried tofu with peanut sauce- all were great! The spice levels were on point.. we'll definitely be coming back! Second visit- just as good!!! Our new fav Thai place! We got the pra ram and panang curry. This is also one of the first places I've found where their spice level is legit.

LOVED this place! The service was great and the food came out relatively fast. People in my group kept saying this was the best Thai food they’d ever had. We loved the pad Thai, pineapple fried rice, tom kah soup, Mussaman Curry, ginger delight, Pra Ram with beef, and the mango sticky rice for dessert (pictured).

As someone born and raised in Thailand, I am super picky about my Thai food, and most places in SoCal don’t pass muster. My husband and I were driving through Oceanside on our way home tonight, and I had a hankering for Thai food. But where to go that would be authentic? I saw some good Yelp reviews for this place that mentioned authenticity, so decided to give it a try. Man, it hit the spot! (See our “before” and “after” photos). The larp gai was so flavorful, and the Penang was NOT over sweetened, as curries in the US tend to be. And they have sticky rice! We’ll be back, and will definitely recommend Sabai Sabai to others as an authentic Thai place. Bonus: the Thai posters on the wall, and the “night bus” music. IYKYK.

Went on less busy hours. Really good service; felt home-y. Got the pad-see-yew and tom yum soup; it was well worth the price. Tip: know ur spice tolerance 😂don’t be cocky about it

This is one of the best Tai food locations in San Diego County. Tom yum soup is on point. Attention to quality, authentic ingredients, customer service and overall concern for customers is unmatched. Order you will not regret it.

Whatever you do, don’t get spice level 5 or 7. Boy was it HOT!! But the food was just phenomenal. Sure it hurt to eat, but it was that good pain. Similar to getting a tattoo. And did I tell you about this mango sticky rice? Out of this world decadent! A must try.

This is my new favorite spot! I absolutely love Thai and this place hit the spot. Can't wait to come back and try the other dishes. We had the Pad Thai and Tom Kha

This is hands-down the best Thai food I’ve had in the area. The pad thai was absolutely phenomenal—perfectly balanced flavors, fresh ingredients, and that authentic flame-kissed wok essence that’s hard to find outside of Thailand. Every bite was packed with deliciousness, and you could tell the chef knows their craft. The restaurant itself had a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and the service was attentive without being intrusive. The pricing was exactly what I expected for such high-quality, authentic cuisine. If you’re looking for real Thai flavors, this is the place to go. I can’t wait to come back and try more dishes! Highly recommended!

Loved this place! Such an amazing local Thai place with great options and portions. Volcano noodles (Pad Kee Mao) was the perfect spicy drunken noodle and the Panang Curry was so flavorful. We will definitely be back!

Never had a bad experience here, the lady working the front counter is so sweet and the food is so good, thai table is on the other side of the building but I always come back to this one instead, portions are great and the food has made me come back to this spot for years.

Sabra and Drew are AMAZING! The owner was present during the rush to support, as well. 100/10 service.

What a special evening with me and my friends! We went here randomly as a middle point between LA and San Diego, and were all so pleasantly surprised at how fantastic our experience was. Everything tasted like it was made at home in the best of ways. The service was outstanding. Just a perfect way to spend the evening! We will definitely be coming back.

Sabai Sabai is exactly everything we expected from an authentic thai spot and more. we got the crispy veggie rolls to start and they were hot and delicious. my wife got fried rice and i got the pineapply curry, both served in generous portions and seasoned to perfection. amazing start to finish.

We have been going to Sabai Sabai for over three years. The owners are friendly and remember you, which is so refreshing and one of the many reasons we order from here at least once a week. Their pad Thai is phenomenal, and we also love their Thai tea, spring rolls, beef larb , and rangoons! As long as we live in Oceanside, this is our #1 spot!

The best Thai food ever. It was fantastic to be able to eat good food after a long day! Many thanks to the wonderful staff for considering our request to skip some ingredients.

The best Thai Food I’ve ever had. The employees are super sweet. They’re also really fast whether is take out or dine in. I love them. I haven’t had something on their menu I don’t like. 🫶

Food was decent but the fried rice was very oily. Chicken satay was so thin there was hardly any chicken in it so I felt it wasn’t worth it for the price.

Very clean restaurant and the food was good

First time trying Sabai Sabai Thai Kitchen and it was a truly enjoyable experience! Ordered the chicken Pad Thai and the flavors and spice were on point and complemented each other perfectly. Will be coming back for more!

Been here twice. It's a small Thai restaurant on Oceanside Blvd. They do not serve alcohol but looks like they applied for a license to serve. My first experience was 4 Stars then my 2nd was meh... Food: Pad See Ew with Tofu Fried Chicken with Spicy Sauce Yellow Curry with Chicken Sticky Rice Papaya Salad The pad see ew and sticky rice were delicious. The first time i ate the chicken wings it was cooked to perfection and seasoned well. I tasted the yellow curry and although it was just alright, I prefer panang instead. This last visit I ate the papaya salad and in all honesty, I will never order this again. The papaya was drowning in fish sauce like it was pre soaked. We barely put a dent in it and didn't take it home. I also ordered the wings again and this time around the wings were not cooked all the way through. I brought it to the attention of the man working the front counter. He offered to remove the wings from our bill but we said he didn't need to as we ate around the area that was cooked. Overall, a cute little restaurant but I don't think I'll ever return here.
