    I come here whenever I crave Thai food, and it never disappoints! The people working here are always so nice! And the food is delicious 🙌🏽 I love their green curry and sticky rice. I also really like that they’re open throughout the day and don’t close for 2 hours in the middle. Many times I go eat at 3pm and many Thai places are closed. I’ll go across town for this place! Spicy, hot, and delicious!

    In my experience and opinion, the best places for Asian food are small businesses and holes in the wall. I had the Pad Thai and the peanut sauce was delicious! Great service and a friendly staff was the cherry on top!

    Wait staff is completely incompetent. Waited 15 minutes for them to clean a table, they weren't running around helping other tables, they just couldn't be bothered. Forgot drinks... Twice. Wait staff hides in the back Forgot my kids food. Had to ask repeatedly where it was. They claim the kitchen is backed up when 3 tables that came in and ordered after us and got their food. Pad Thai doesn't take that long to make. Brought hot tea that was tepid. Wait staff had time to spend 15 minutes taking pictures for a table of friends tho Avoid this place like the plague.

    This place is truly amazing with their cuisine and flavors. The staff is friendly and really wants you to have a wonderful experience. It is near a shopping center next to Hoover high School and round table. He can order head for pickup and you can dine in and they do have to go menus. I've gone to Red chicken curry and pad Thai and they are always spot on with their flavors. My wife loves it!

    Authentic. And oh man, so so good. The thing to know here is that if you love Thai food and like to eat adventurously, this is the best I’ve found in Fresno so far. Tremendous flavors and generous portions. Staff is friendly and willing to help you discover new delights whenever you want to dance outside your regular favorites. Oh and when you go, be on the lookout for items with the house made Thai salsas - there is probably a real name for them, but our server just called the sauces “Thai salsa” when we were raving about it. Both the red Thai salsa and the garlic salsa are house made are off the charts good. Other things: * no bar/cocktails * not super romantic, but okay for a casual date night. Definitely more of a dine with family or friends feel. * seating is limited but the tables turn quickly. We’ve never had to wait more than 5 minutes for a table. * even if you are not into appetizers… order the signature SaBaiDee sausages on the appetizer menus. Absolute must order.

    Terrible fried rice. DO NOT ORDER FRIED RICE HERE!!! Got 2 different orders of it and both were mushy, flavorless.. just gross and at $14 a plate for 2 orders.. it hit the trash anyways. No eggs in them almost.. its gross 100%

    These items are delish: * Papaya Salad (The best I have ever tasted however their spice level is high. Ordered spice level 4 and it was still too hot for me eventhough I love Thai chili. * Chicken Phad Thai * Sweet Rice with Mango (the best) * Thai Iced Tea These three items were okay: * Khao Phad Ka Paek (Shrimp Paste Fried Rice with Chicken) * Khao Phad Pineapple (Fried Rice) * Chicken Satays

    Wonderful Thai-Lao cuisine. Such an exotic and flavorful food. The Vermicelli Noodles with the mixed vegetables and beef, chicken and pork combination was excellent. The Papaya Salad Lao style was excellent. The Deep Fried Pampano was surprisingly simple but great with the Chile Lime sauce with the steamed rice. The Lao sausages were so good. The sweet man with sticky rice dessert was an excellent ending. The ice cold Singha Thai beer went well with the food. Happy stomachs. 😋

    What a great Thai Restaurant! Oshea was an excellent waitperson. He was friendly, efficient, knowledgeable, and helpful. The only problem is there are too few tables.

    This was the first time trying this place and it was so good . The food was so delicious. And the waiters were so friendly . I HIGHLY recommend this place 👌

  • 5/5 Irene C. 9 months ago on Google
    Great place for Fresno! Honestly what Fresno’s food scene is missing are more restaurants like these. Authentic cuisine that’s not from a food chain and without a ghetto or pretentious vibe. Happy to see Fresno growing and more upscale restaurants popping up but homegrown middle of the road can be just as good if not better. The restaurant itself offers a homey, chic vibe. The food, that I’ve tried is great and reasonably priced. Pad see ew can come with more noodles for noodles lovers such as myself. The staff were attentive and nice. I went there for lunch so was able to beat the crowd. Happy I found this gem 😊

    We were visiting Fresno, and my daughter was craving Thai. She found SaBaiDee and let me tell you! It was good. We ordered the coconut soup, it was delicious, a bit spicy but delicious. The Pad Thai noodles delicious! Calamaris good. wings, I really didn't like them. My husband said it was OK. But over all good service, clean and good food. Nice Thai restaurant in Fresno.

    We had a big group celebration dinner, the servers were very nice and the food was very yummy.

  • 1/5 Jessica c. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is really good but we won’t be returning. When we received our tab I noticed the total seemed a little high. I took into account taxes and there’s a 3% fee when using a card. Our bill was still priced at $13 more than it should be. When I brought it to our waitresses attention that the math seemed off, she left and quickly walked into the back and came back with the correct total. She did it so quickly I don’t think she even recalculated anything which seemed shady. She claimed the restaurants calculator messes up sometimes. I don’t know if she or the restaurant is at fault but I feel if the restaurant knows it’s calculator is faulty and isn’t replacing it or the waitress is careless it’s not okay. It wasn’t a couple dollars it was $13 that’s basically being charged for an extra meal. I wonder how many more people this has happened to and they didn’t catch it.

    The best thia food ever had. I'll be back. They use coconut milk and it makes all the difference. We were offered what level of spiciness we wanted. Only one server and they charge of using cards to pay. The cook was 👌 👍

  • 5/5 Shaunak T. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is incredible. Get the Panag Curry with Tofu. The sauce is so rich and I haven’t had such high quality food for the price. Papaya salad is good but can be really spicy. Make sure to ask about that before placing the order.

  • 3/5 Quresh “Skydiver” C. 2 years ago on Google
    Food taste was sub par. Was going to give 2 stars but the waitress was super nice so bumped up one more star. Added chili paste, soy sauce, chili powder on our own and fixed the taste. Thai ice tea had too much creamer so had to add Splenda. Have posted before we fixed the food on the table and after the modifications. Pad see we fixed on the table with several things. Tom Kah we added chilly paste and got it somewhat better than the bland taste.

    First time trying this place. The papaya salad is so good here. And the Thai ice coffee!! I recommend this place. The chicken Pad Thai was ok, like it was a bit dry, no much taste. This place is a little pricey but it’s expected with quality Thai food.

  • 2/5 May C. 1 year ago on Google
    I feel like this place has lost their charms. Services there has down graded from all the numerous times my family and I have dine there. The wait staff stays around behind the counter hardy comes and check on their customers and take forever to send out dishes or straight out forgets them leaving us to wait for our food longer we would order to go with no utensils in our bags so No I do not recommend this place. It needs major retraining of staff before we go back and spend 100.00 dollars bills for bad services. Thank you

    I was really craving Pineapple fried rice so Googled it. Reviews said this place was the best. Ordered it and picked it up, really looking forward to that savory curry flavor.Got it home, and what a disappointment! Absolutely the worst I've ever had, not because it tasted bad, but it had no taste at all. Bland to the 10 th power, no distinguishing flavor for any component. Won't try anything else if they can so mess up one of the easiest dishes on the menu.

    Took a little pit stop on our way to Sacramento and stumbled upon this place. Our server was a very nice, informative and a quirky gentleman. He was a wonderful personality but after we received our food he didn’t come back for a while, even when we were ready to pay we had to wave down another employee to get him to come back. The food: The Pad Thai was solid. I ordered a 9 (spice levels go from 1-10) and someone delivered my food and said it was a 10… I took it anyways and it still wasn’t as spicy as I hoped for. We also ordered an appetizer but one person got their entree before we got the appetizer. All our food came out at different times. Everyone enjoyed their food but we all have had better back home in Florida. T’was my first time having a beer I believe from Thailand and we both enjoyed it! Bathroom: Poor architectural design. I thought it was odd I walked through the server station as they were working / bagging to-go food to get to the bathroom. Single Bathroom didn’t look like it was kept up periodically throughout the shift. Overall, cool place (seating area), nice staff with good chemistry. Food 4 out of 5 depending on what you get.

    First time here and the food was delicious! Ordered the spring rolls, chicken pho and chicken phad Thai. Staff was super friendly. It was fairly busy, 5 of the 8 or 9 tables had someone sitting down, but we didn't wait a disproportionate amount of time for the food. The portions were very nice for the prices, and we wound up with to_go boxes. Will definitely go back.

    I got take-out twice in the last month & each time food & service were wonderful. Can't wait to explore further...really extensive menue & tastes like home cooking. Not expensive either Yummy!
