Sambai - Richmond

Panang curry was very yummy with the mescal paloma drink. Coconut tom khai soup with tofu was yummy and very nice with rice. The beef pad see ew was ok but a bit too salty, and the thai iced tea was super sweet. Service was friendly. The restaurant was quite dark/ had some very dim lighting which our eyes adjusted to eventually.

We love Sabai. The food has always been full of flavor and the staff is always friendly. We visit when we are in town. Looking forward to the next time!! Once again Sabai delivers. Highly recommended. Only negative on last visit VERY LOUD squeaky front door at entrance. Please add oil :

Went in to order for to go and they were unable to let me order for take out only if I would dine in there but I was sick.

A little too dark for my taste, but man the food! The portion size was insane for what I'm used to getting and I eat at a lot of Thai restaurants in different states depending on my location. The flavors all hit my soul as authentic with what we ordered. Have no complaints from our meal.

Having been to a few Thai restaurants in Richmond, Sabai is my favorite so far! Everything I've tried has been delicious. Good portions and low prices (except for appetizers, which have entrée prices). My go-tos are the drunken noodles (pad kee mao) and basil fried rice (kao pad ki maew). The sauces that come with the appetizers are also pretty exceptional (we mentioned this to the waitress and she gave us free extras to take home :D). I appreciate that they're open later than other Thai places. The only con I'd say is service can be slow sometimes. The restaurant itself is dimly lit by candles and has an industrial vibe, with garage door walls and all the furniture looks custom-built from raw wood and steel. The music selection they've got is pretty nice as well. I find myself coming back to this place whenever I'm in town.
