    Nice room nice atmosphere, nice service. The food not at all up to scratch for the prices being charged. A selection of starters were no better than a frozen party platter from Iceland. The moneybags and dumplings were notable, dry dense tasteless. Mains; Ordered some sizzling weeping steak thing, the waitress asked how id like it cooked, it didn’t matter, I almost wept when I saw it. It was a non sizzling drowned in soy sauce piece of diced rump. E23 for that abortion of a dish. The other two mains were better but still average at best. Eating out is getting more expensive and this place offers high prices with low quality food. An overpriced canteen at best. Avoid.

    Had a wonderful meal and experience while wandering through Waterford. We got there early enough that we were charged the lunch prices. Found many things on the menu to like and decided to share a bunch amongst the party. Because there were nine of us, it took a bit for the food to arrive, but it was flavorful and steamy hot. Spice level was moderate and when we asked to amp it up, the staff brought us a collection of peppers marinated, sliced, or powdered so we could tailor things to our liking. Staff was very accommodating and we had a great experience.

    Had dinner here last night during our weekend to Waterford. Booked at the last minute and they were nice enough to accommodate our family of 3. Really good menu, plenty of variety. Both food and service were top class. Highly recommended.

    Nice place, but for Vietnamese meals they have less choice and taste is just so so. Not sure if the chef is Asian (Thai or Vietnamese).

    Omg the absolute best Thai restaurant 😍 I've attempted to eat in other places several times and just can't bring myself to change. Even when I do eat somewhere else I'm still thinking of Sabai

    Went with another couple for dinner. Sat in the indoor/outdoor area which was nicely decorated and warm. The hallways are narrow and dark so not great for a buggy incase you were bringing kids. Food was delicious, we had the tasting set menu which was 2 starters and 2 mains with sides and a dessert. The dessert was a little disappointing but the starters and mains more than made up for it. Cocktails were absolutely delicious, but a little pricey. We will be back!!

    One of the best restaurants in Waterford. Suitable for both meat eaters and vegetarians. They have a great take out menu but it's lovely to sit in and get served by the friendly staff 🙂

  • 2/5 Asenathi S. 6 months ago on Google
    We were a group of 6 friends. Let me start off by saying the aesthetics to the place are quite lovely. Very intimate place. The second star is really for the drinks. The apple martini was lovely otherwise the food has one sweet taste - soy sauce! From starter to dessert. This was the first time I actually didn’t finish my dessert ever. The starter was ok - the dumplings were edible. The steak - shocking! It just left little to be desired and they didn’t have cones for the ice-cream nor any cheesecake on the night which is highly advertised We waited a bit for our orders to be taken also… not the greatest of service for a place I’d been meaning to try out for a while but oh well…

    Booking system not working no return calls on enquiries.seemto be picking and choosing who they let in. Lost me and others I know due to this silly system as customers. Why have a booking online system that is not fit for purpose?? May be busy now but its a long year ahead

    Four of us dined here on 26th Sept. Our booking was for 5pm and on arrival we were shown to our table and given plenty of time to checkout the menu. The service and food we received was perfect. All Covid safety protocols were followed by staff while we were there.

    Average thai masaman curry, asked for spicy but what I got I highly doubt there was even a chilli in same room as that curry!

    My sister and I came upon this restaurant by accident. Very happy accident as it turned out. Fabulous food with the freshest ingredients. Authentic Thai food, excellent service. Probably the best Thai food I've had since leaving Thailand (I lived there years ago).
