Food it amazing!!!! I had the drunken noodles and they were the best I've had in Tempe! The interior is nice too! Their fried rice smelled amazing, I'm going to try it next time!

My husband and I ordered the chicken chow mein and shrimp fried rice. Both dishes were phenomenal, though I have a low spice tolerance and had trouble getting through my fried rice (I think it was medium but wow what a kick). My husband called regarding this, and the kind staff quickly made another batch for me - which again was consistent in its flavor but even better since it was spot on with the spice! Will look forward to eating here again! Missing my husbands meal as he ate it so quickly.

Great place for fast-casual Thai. I'm very basic so I get the yellow curry every time. They can pretty much make most of the menu gluten free in various ways which is really appreciated. They're really a 5 star for food, but....calling them can actually be very hit or miss. Like I would prefer to not give Yelp a chunk of their business tbh, but if they don't pick up the phone roughly 30% of the time, I gotta.

I would place Sa Bai Thai Food on my top 5 Thai restaurants in the East Valley. The food was very flavorful, they did the right amount of spice we asked, the server was amazing & the music was on point!!!! This is the first time I've been to Sa Bai & every experience was great...from the moment we walked in till we paid the bill. The Yelp Stars were align in Sa Bai tonight. Shrimp Paid = amazing Coconut Soup = perfect Old Time Curry = to die for Garlic Shrimp = speechless Definitely recommend this place!

Great Pad Kee Mao. Just the right amount of savory spice. Went for mild as a delicate whitey, but I'll go for medium spice next time. Also went for the wings because I am a sucker for wings. Usually I am disappointed, but these were pretty large and more importantly, flavorful. They are a sweet chili flavor and come with a peanut sauce on the side. The peanut sauce is fire flames delicious. Got takeout and it was ready when I arrived early.

Standard Thai food that is affordable and filling. The waitress was really sweet and attentive. There are only two tables inside, and lots get takeout. My boyfriend and I shared: Lettuce wraps - really good appetizers. Massaman curry - loved the flavor. Small portion for the price, though. Pad Thai - standard pad Thai, really hit the spot. Big portion. Thai iced tea - not too sweet, which we loved. Recommend for an extremely casual dinner spot if you want Thai!

I love curry and Sa Bai has some great options! Ordered from here when I was on this side of town. I had trouble deciding between avocado curry or pumpkin curry, I ended up getting the pumpkin curry with tofu and extra vegetables. It was ready right on time! Very good stuff, flavorful. Only complaint is that some of the carrots tasted a little weird like they were starting to go bad, but everything else was really yummy. Was not too expensive either compared to my more frequently visited Thai spots. I can't wait to try the avocado curry next time!
