    Had a great dinner experience, the waiting staff was lovely and very attentive. The food was great also! We ordered the hoisin duck rolls, the beef lettuce cups and shared a crispy pineapple duck and it all tasted amazing! The kitchen does close early (around 9) so make sure you get there early for dinner.

    I recently dined at Saba, a Thai and Vietnamese restaurant, and I have mixed feelings about my experience. The concept of blending Thai and Vietnamese cuisines intrigued me, prompting me to make a reservation in advance. The service I received was quick and efficient, which is always appreciated when dining out. Moving on to the cocktails, I found them to be on the sweeter side, so others might find these cocktails enjoyable. One highlight of the evening was the appetizer called smoked trout meing kam. Served on a betel leaf, it offered a delightful medley of flavors. The combination of smoked trout and the roasted coconut s made for an interesting and enjoyable experience. I would definitely recommend giving this appetizer a try. Unfortunately, my main courses did not meet my expectations. I ordered the sea bass and Singapore noodles, but neither dish left a lasting impression. I found myself not particularly enjoying the dinner overall. Considering the mixed experience I had at Saba, I would hesitate to recommend it wholeheartedly. While the service was commendable and the appetizer was a standout, the lackluster main courses detracted from the overall dining experience. However, taste preferences are subjective, so others may have a different opinion.

    Really nice place - my food was great. I had a little misunderstanding with the charge, but it was resolved within minutes by a super nice manager. Will be back soon

    Nice place - very busy. I came for the Pho but was disappointed as they don’t use the thin rice noodles which is authentic for pho. If you don’t like the large flat noodles (which I don’t) I wouldn’t recommend the Pho here. The broth was great, but without proper noodles it ruined it for me. Service is just OK if you are wanting to order drinks, have to flag someone down.

    Food was nice. The Saba chips were disappointing. Good service.

    From the moment you step in, you're transported to a world of vibrant flavors and aromas. The restaurant's elegant décor and warm ambiance set the stage for a memorable meal. The menu at Saba is a celebration of authentic Thai dishes, each prepared with precision and care. Whether you're a fan of rich curries, fragrant stir-fries, or fresh and zesty salads, Saba offers a diverse range of options to cater to all palates. The balance of sweet, sour, spicy, and savory flavors is a testament to the chefs' mastery of Thai cooking techniques. One of the standout features of Saba is its commitment to using high-quality ingredients, resulting in dishes that burst with authenticity. The use of traditional herbs and spices is evident in every bite, creating an immersive culinary journey. While the restaurant exudes a sophisticated vibe, it manages to remain welcoming and approachable, making it an ideal choice for both intimate dinners and group gatherings. The combination of excellent food, gracious service, and a captivating atmosphere makes Saba a top destination for those seeking an exceptional Thai dining experience in Dublin. I highly recommend the bang bang curry

    I absolutely love this restaurant. Everything from the menu, the decor, the staff and the presentation of the food is fabulous. My bf and I have been going here for the past year and a half and we have never had a bad experience. The food always tastes fabulous, the menu is always wide and meets a variety of needs (vegetarian, vegan, paleo or gluten free) and the staff are so accomodating and polite. Yesterday we went for the first time back since lockdown and my bf and I shared starters of brocolli and bak choi and spring rolls and then we shared a fabulous yellow curry with red and brown rice. For dessert we had the selection of icecream. We also ordered cocktails from the bar and they were delicious. From beginning to end our dinner and overall eating out experience was fabulous. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

    Went out for my wife’s birthday with my three sons 13, 16 and 18 after recommended by a friend. We all had a main only, shared two desserts and 2 beers a wine and coffee. Food was tasty enough, nothing major. The thing that shocked me most was how quick it came out. Not a good sign. Meat did taste pre-cooked which was disappointing. Bill came to €203 which we were shocked by. Had a 12.5% service charge due to 5 people being served we were told. We had had a better Thai meal in Berlin only a month before with mains and drinks for €85. Service was good. Only thing I’d like to say is please cook your food fresh. These prices are crazy. The rents are high and I think they try and turn around as many tables as possible so precook some ingredients. I won’t be going back at that price.

    Really lovely spot. Service was attentive and fast. Menu was big and varied with loads of delicious options and lots of diets accounted for. We had a lovely dinner with absolutely zero complaints, full marks!

    Loved their massaman chicken curry. Excellent recommendation from the waiter who was also very pleasant

  • 1/5 Plarenta D. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was okay however we were very disappointed with the staff. They were dismissive throughout the night. We noticed that two drinks were wrongly added to the bill (400€ entire bill) and the staff was not empathic about it, to the point that they were almost doubting whether we had those drinks or not. After some time they brought the new bill however did not even apologise!!! We wish the service was decent so we could better enjoy the food and atmosphere.

    I don’t like writing bad reviews but I was very disappointed with my experience at Saba. Even if the atmosphere and the staff were nice, I really disliked the food. I have lived in Asia for a while and I can assure that these dishes have nothing to do from what I would expect from an Asian restaurant. The quality was bad and it felt like a frozen meal you could get at a supermarket. My noodles were tasteless and extremely greasy, and the appetizers looked pre-frozen and overall bland. I went with a group of friends and we had the three course menu. With a beer and the 12,5% tip they included I ended up spending more than 60€ for a very poor quality dinner. I have been to far better restaurants in Dublin for half the price. Not worthy in my opinion.

    Dining experience at saba was great. The staffs here are friendly and service is excellent. Best Thai restaurant one can ever enjoy. Highly recommend 👌

  • 5/5 Ryan M. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a cool environment and the service was unreal in terms of catering as well as personable. The dishes we got were fantastic and flavorful (duck with pineapple, fan fo and Thai beef salad)! The Thai Beef Salad was just sensational and a must do (the serving size is substantial too). Cocktails are super clever and the presentation are a touch ostentatious (Saba old fashion). If you like Thai and Vietnamese food then go check this place out!

    Fancy Thai food restaurant. Great food quality and very generous on the quantity of the added meats. Great indoor design! However, it's a bit overpriced.

  • 3/5 James B. 2 years ago on Google
    Very friendly and efficient staff. Nice atmosphere about the place. Three stars may be a bit harsh but I found the spring rolls pretty standard, and the pho, not very pho like. It was kind of a cross between pho and a Taiwanese beef soup. Not bad but would’ve preferred chilies rather than a chilli sauce. Hard to criticise but also hard to praise the food.

    Incredible Thai food and lovely service. Ask for Thai spicy if you want a traditional level of heat. Very good.
