We visited from Southern Oregon. I had read many reviews. We made reservations before driving up as their website suggested. When making reservations they asked if the 90 minute table limit was okay. I agreed to the 90 minute table limit. The following day, when we showed up 5 minutes early for our reservation, there was a lady in front of us without a reservation wanting to be seated. The hosts never made her agree to a 90 minute table limit. The hosts peeked around and greeted us and we identified ourselves and they told us thank you and asked us to wait. They then took the walk in with no appointment before us. This walk in was not wearing a mask either. Another guest showed up while we were waiting and he said that the other part of his party was already inside and they let him in also without wearing a mask. Once taken in, wearing masks, we enjoyed the simple modern decor. It was clean. We ordered Chicken Sabai Noodles and Chicken Panang Curry. We also ordered 2 of their signature Lemongrass and Basil gimlets. They had no knives on the table. The rolled silverware included a fork and a spoon only. The knives would have helped greatly with the chicken dishes.The food was okay. The gimlets were gross. We won’t go back. They were definitely a little too precious and pretentious.

I have eaten here before the pandemic and it was a good experience. This time was not. We arrived at the door to get seated At 11:30ish. The hosted informed us that we could only sit for 90 minutes. I thought she said a 90 minute wait. But my wife set me straight. This is something I have never heard of before anywhere. So we went in and sat down. Watched our waiter do his thing and ask all the same questions they ask. How are you, how’s the food and so on. We did not get this same treatment. We ordered the pockets of love because they said they had crab in them. We got no hint of crab, just cream cheese. Nothing like a mouth full of cream cheese to start your experience. Still no attention given to our table. The food was just okay. I had the Sabai noodle. (Pad Thia) says it comes with thin pad Thia noodles but they were angel hair pasta. Wife had the Thai pumpkin curry. The pumpkin prices had to be cut up to eat. This is curry and they don’t provide knifes at the table. Over all this was not the experience I was expecting to have. Then I realized I was wearing my work around the house clothes. They treated me differently and that is the real problem here. If someone comes to your establishment treat them all the same. You must to better. For 50 dollars for lunch it better be as good as the food carts but it’s not. This place is over priced and thinks it’s better than others. We will not be going back. If you have money to throw away this is the pace for you.

Located in the heart of Eugene and great selection of menu and drinks. A good place for casual lunch or anniversary celebrations. We enjoy the atmosphere and also good quality of food. We are thrilled that even during COVID, the restaurant was offering creative menu for Togo orders. And now we are able to dine in again and enjoy the feast.

We ordered the Fresh Salad Rolls with the most amazing peanut sauce that I can only describe as the best PB&J dip I've ever had. My husband, who doesn't like fresh rolls, even finished his. That says A LOT. We also ordered the Golden Rolls, which were perfection in a wonton wrapper. By far, the best "egg roll" you can order. The noodles inside were even perfectly cooked! As a foodie who is really getting into making my own Thai at home, this has so far been the best Thai restaurant I've ever eaten in and has inspired me with things to do in my own dynamic kitchen. For dinner, we ordered the Crying Tiger Salad, which was spicy and toasty and absolutely delicious. If not a wee bit too much red onion, the mint really made that dish shine. My only complaint was the steak was tough, albeit perfectly cooked to how we ordered it, medium rare. Additionally, the Spicy Cachew Chicken Noodle was spicy on the lips and cooked, again, perfectly. Vegetables had texture, and the noodles cooked beautifully. I also saw the Scallops be delivered to another eater, and the scallop looked seared to perfection. I'm so impressed. We will be back with everyone we know.

Sabai is definitely in our top 3 places to eat, not just for the food but also the quality of service. Unfortunately, this was likely our most disappointing Sabai experience to date. We were seated promptly just before our reservation, which was nice. Upon ordering drinks, the seasonal beer i asked for was empty and the cocktail 🍸 that my wife ordered came mixed with tequila in place of amaretto which is quite far off but we were assured it was because their bartender was recently replaced and was learning the menu. We ordered golden rolls and they were amazing as always 😋 More disappointment came with our main dishes which were yellow curry rice made vegan with extra veggies. Unfortunately the veggies in the meal were not fully cooked or even warmed to the core which is likely because the broccoli pieces were huge which also made them too hard to cut with a fork without making a mess (maybe they also have a new cook?). The flavor of the meal was also just a bit bland compared to every other time we eat here. It was disappointing to bring my mom here from out of state only to have a sub par experience after talking it up so much. We will be back again but hopefully next time they will be back to their old quality.

Excellent! One of the best meals I've had in a long time. Great flavor, good portions, and lots of gluten-free option. Win, win, win!!!

Fantastic food and service. Had the fresh rolls and satay. Let's face it, the satay is just a delivery system for the peanut sauce to your taste buds. Awesome experience.

My wife and I came here for date night last week. Made reservations in advance and were seated right away. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful with menu suggestions. The gimlet I ordered was fantastic and dinner was absolutely delicious! The avocado curry and pineapple fried rice was out of this world! We will definitely be coming back here

You can make reservation. Having had Thai food all these years, this is one of the best. It's not necessary the Thai food you have in Thailand, there's a little fusion twist but you can see the authentic ingredients and the taste is much improved for general public. Sabai Noodle - it's like a pad Thai but stir fry. Very tasty and flavorful. Tom Kha Soup - I recommend mild so you can taste the rich coconut flavorful and the spiciness of the soup. It was well mixed of hot and sour. White Angel on Fire - They have done an amazing job in the battered and came out deliciously crispy with a very intense sweet and spicy sauce. Satisfied! Yellow Curry - we ordered mild again, it's coconut dominated curry. If you like coconut flavor you don't disappoint. You can taste the curry spice in it but it's very different compared to green or red curry. Green and red curry or even panang curry taste more like Thai curry. Wish we have one of these in my neighborhood in Bay area California.

Nice location, when we checked in we were told we couldn't go in unless we agreed to a 1.5-hour seating. Hat was really awkward, but we didn't expect to take more than an hour. We joked the 1.5-hour time and how they could have placed a timer on our table... Very nice ambiance, comfortable seating and fairly attentive service. Hot & Sour thai soup was outstanding and unexpected, teriyaki chicken was really good.

Went in today for an early dinner with my bosses and my 8 year old son between jobs. We were dressed in work uniforms. We were 3rd in line right after they opened. It took about 15 minutes to get seated outside. Our hostess had a bit of an attitude for some reason. We were seated and ordered apps. My son and I had the vietnemese wings and chicken satay. Wings were good, but we didn't finish them. Satay was better and the peanut sauce was very good. Our waiter was great and kept the ice teas coming. The scallops I'm told are the best item here hands down by both bosses. Not my thing so I took there word for it. The sabai noodles with chicken was pretty decent and made better with the addition of the chefs housemade chili oil. The steak salad I tried from my coworker was fabulous. The flavors in the dressing were very unique. If I come back that's the thing I'm ordering. Pretty ok visit, but for 150 dollars I expected a bit more. May try again.

I'm new to the area and when asking friends for recommendations, both highly suggested I dine at Sabai. Even though the restaurant was very busy and short staffed, I was seated quickly without a reservation. My meal was fresh, tasty and exceeded my expectations. The wait staff heard me mention today is my birthday and then surprised me with birthday cupcakes. Thank you, staff of Sabai for making my birthday so special!

We happened to pass the town and not knowing where to eat. Coming in, we didn’t have any expectation, thinking it would be just another Americanized Thai food. But it was definitely one of the best Thai restaurant we been. We been to a lot.. from LA Thai town, east coast. But this place is just certainly one of the best. We ordered a fried rice, a curry dish, and fried wing appetizer. Our server was great too.. very attentive to details. Really pleasant experience during our short stay in town!

I love the vegetable rich dishes. Veggies were fresh and not overcooked, which is a big thing for me. I cook Thai food authentically, so it's nice to have a healthy an delicious Thai food meal where I don't have to cook. Our waiter was great, he was super friendly, timely and professional. We didn't have a reservation, but we waited less than 5 minutes at a prime dinner time. Which was unexpected, but appreciated. I know it's hard to accommodate guests who don't have reservations when in a dinner rush.

Driving through Eugene and stopped here for dinner. Really really good. Pad se ew had great noodle-chew and seasoned very well. The wings were really good; well cooked with lots of meat on them, however they were a bit salty. The veggie rice rolls were very fresh albeit they had a little too much lettuce in them for me. Would still recommend all three dishes.

Busy place! Be ready to wait but it’s great food. We are here passing through and loved it. I got the basil fried rice dish. Very good. Their spicy level is on the high side. I got medium and it was plenty of heat for me. The portions are large. You can easily share or you will probably have left overs.

This was our first time at this restaurant. We were greeted with a friendly smile and although the place was rather busy, we were seated immediately. Our waiter was Jason and his personality was more than we expected. Jason was very personable, professional and genuinely seemed to care about making our dining experience a great one. We both ordered crispy chicken basil and it was amazing! Everything was absolutely perfect. Thank you Sabai, we will make it a point to return when in the area. Bill H.

For the prices I was expecting soo much more as far as the food goes. And the prices were not crazy but they are higher than most . All the way down to the water... on a nice hot day who doesn't like ice in their water, but buy a lemonade and you get a glass half the size of the water and they fill that glass to the brim with ice and splash with lemonade. The wings were nothing special. Scallops were cold maybe on purpose for what idk. But not what I was hoping for. We both however enjoyed the calamari salads the were cooked perfectly and that's rare to see . And environment or atmosphere was OK if you like to feel like sardines in a can. And with doors all open there were these two flies that wouldn't just go away. The service was great. They always wanted to do more for us and everyone else of course. We knew because of the whole sardines in a can thing. Just not much is personal at that point. There's one other place in town that is the exact same way and their food was awesome but I havnt been back only because it erks me if you want to fit more people get a bigger location. Simple. No one likes less leg room on an airplane just like no one likes to hear everyone's conversation but the person's that you are with

Oh my God, I love this place so much. My sister has loved this place for years, and I went for the first time like a year ago. Sabai is now my favorite restaurant in Eugene. Great vegan options too. Amazing service, beautiful atmosphere, lil pricey– but definitely worth it.

One of the best restaurants in Eugene. Staff is friendly, restaurant is immaculate, food and drinks are above and beyond. If you don’t like Thai food, they have plenty of other options, such as New York steak. Their Crimson is one of their best cocktails using fresh blackberries, vodka, lime and soda. Their Vera Cruz is my favorite drink, with gin, lime and grapefruit juice, and cherry liquor..

It was a Thursday early evening and it was crowded, which says something about the place. We were able to sit promptly 🌟but the hostess informed us that we can have the table if we are able to limit our time to 90 minutes ???? Rude and inappropriate for a high quality/class restaurant. The food was good, I got green curry with shrimp, it was delicious, although I've never had it in Thailand with a dominant taste of cumin, I love cumin, and it was quality! ✨ my friend liked the food also. I recommend this place.

I have always loved Sabai. My friend and I went there last night. The service was great. On the downside, we felt rushed and the food had slipped to ok instead of great. I was really disappointed about feeling rushed through dinner. It won’t be my go to restaurant anymore.

The food was great except the waiting time which was kinda long like more than 10 minutes. Clean, kind, and warm service. But waiting was worthwhile because I could wait with the iced thai coffee. The curry and beef tasted awesome and were a big portion for 2 people. But we were starving and ate everything plus an extra bowl of rice. My past HS teacher recommended me to come to this place and I and my husband had a great time with the thai food in Eugene!

Love this place! Best drinks I’ve had in all of Eugene. My wife and I grab a classic along Island Ice Tea, they are killer. Appetizers are fantastic too.. not to also mention the food. Great atmosphere, low lit and can be low key. Love it.

This is a very popular place and I recommend reservations. The food was good but not great. The chicken in the pad se ew was a bit dry and the sauce lacked flavor. The fried basil with egg was very good.

Delicious. Recommend to do a reservation before. We waited for a while because the restaurant was full. The portion was big. Price reasonable. Comfortable environment for dining.

Upon entering,it was a great atmosphere and the wait staff were friendly. However, after being sat down..it seemed to me like we're not being noticed again and it took forever to get just even a water,let alone our meal.

I ate dinner for 2 at Sabai in Eugene. I ordered their version of a mai thai cocktail which was quite tasty and my dinner companion had a non-alcoholic cocktail which she loved. We shared the tempura green beans and a papaya salad as appetizers. The tempura green beans were excellent with a thin, crunchy coating and flavorful green beans. The papaya salad was good with some nice spicy notes as part of the fresh salad. I could have done with more papaya flavor in that salad, but maybe decent papaya's hard to come by. As my main I had the spicy cashew noodles which were also excellent. Simply presented and with a deep flavor profile, I'd highly recommend those noodles. My dining companion had a red curry which she also enjoyed.

Wow! What a unique place for Thai food. The Salmon Panang Curry was great. The fish was cooked perfectly to melt in your mouth. A number of unique drinks also, the Crimson was a great surprise! If you enjoy berry flavors this is for you.
