At Sabay, the flavors truly capture authentic Thai cuisine. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive. We tried the Yum Nam from the menu, but it was quite sour, so they kindly prepared a new one for us. My favorite dish was the Super Teen Kai (Chicken finger soup) — absolutely delicious!

Sabay Thai Restaurant is hands down the best Thai spot in all of New York City. It's genuinely the most authentic Thai experience you can find here. I’m surprised it’s not more popular yet. I went with two friends and we tried a variety of dishes. The prices are very reasonable too — we ordered about 6 or 7 dishes along with some drinks, and the total came to just $100! The Pad Thai was flavorful and true to its roots, the braised pork basil was my favorite, and the northern-style spicy minced pork offered a unique and delicious taste. The spicy pork rib soup, egg noodles with crab meat, and grilled brisket were also great, though the grilled brisket was a bit dry. I really wish I lived closer to Queens so I could dine here more often.

Heard about the spiciest drunken noodle in town? Not yet! Just be there.The price is reasonable with portion sizes. The items which are labelled as spicy, if you dont know what to expect say low spicy or medium spicy. The entrées are shareable if you order other food or appetizers. The calamari is not tiny slices and gives you a chicken fry crust. The clear soup steals raw show, and it's complimentary with lunch packages.
