Sabai Thai – A Favorite Neighborhood Jaunt

Call Uber, it’s time to experience the joy of Sabai Thai. In Thai, the word “sabai” translates to “happy” in English, and that’s precisely the feeling this Midtown culinary escape aims to evoke for guests. The staff at Sabai Thai takes pride in delivering happiness through authentic Thai cuisine and warm hospitality within a laid-back and inviting atmosphere. Sabai presents a contemporary take on classic Thai flavors, seamlessly blending upscale dining with the timeless warmth of traditional Thai hospitality and gastronomy. Thai cuisine can be divided into four distinct regions: North, Central, Northeast and West. Each boasts its own array of specialties, highlighting the intricate, complex and rich flavors that define the culinary landscape of Thailand.

Nestled within a space of high ceilings and dark, muted tones, Sabai offers an intimate setting perfect for exploration. Since opening in 2018, Sabai has become a premier destination for a curated Thai experience that leaves a lasting impression on taste buds. Kick off your meal with the popular mango sticky rice cocktail. This inventive drink blends the sweet essence of mango with Thai rum and Brazilian cachaca, rounded off with creamy coconut. Each sip can feel like a mini vacation to a tropical paradise. The bar program at Sabai features cocktails that excel not only in visual artistry but also in phenomenal taste, with each drink presenting a stunning blend of colors that perfectly complements its flavors.

For appetizers, the fan favorites are the crispy garlic shrimp and the all-around Sabai sampler. The mouthwatering crispy garlic shrimp is batter-fried and topped with crispy garlic flakes and scallions, and the Sabai sampler is a diverse taste of the staff favorite’s apps, which includes Thai money bags, poh pia tod, calamari, curry puff and chicken satay.

For a main, most guests favor the Sabai curries. There are three options of homemade curries; the green curry, Gang Kiew Waan, the red curry, Gang Daang, and the panang Gang Panang curry. Sabai also offers popular Thai noodles dishes like Pad Thai, Pad See Ew and Pad Khi Mao, a.k.a. drunken noodles. Yum! Sabi Thai also offer vegan options for meatless lovers. The Pak Duck tamarind features crispy mock duck and steamed mixed vegetables, tamarind sauce and crispy fried onions. There’s also the popular Eggplant Basil which is a delicious symphony of sautéed eggplants in Thai basil sauce with mixed peppers, thai chili and onions.
