I was in Sidney and needed a quick dinner. Locals recommended it and so I went. Glad I did. I am constantly lamenting the lack of kick in so called 'spicy' food in BC, but when I asked for this hot I got a little one. Next time it will be extra hot, but at least I know I can... More

Nothing fancy here but always full of repeat customers, for good reason. The staff are young, well-traveled and will help you with menu selection if you are a novice at Thai food. Food doesn't have to be spicy or can be VERY. Delicious and inexpensive.

Well, it's probably the only Thai restaurant in town, but the service is great, the food delicious and the prices reasonable. We were a party of 6, and the first patrons of the evening; by the time we left there was a line out the door--and it was only a Tuesday night, outside tourist season! Many locals. I will certainly... More

Picked up a very tasty Gaeng Pak (veggie curry), rice and an order of Por Pia (veggie spring rolls) from Sabhai Thai for the short walk down to the picnic tables at the Sidney Pier. Delicious food with a delicious view! The red curry had a perfect spice with a good mixture of veggies. The spring rolls are the best... More

Good value and great taste, what more could you ask for an impromptu lunch during a stroll through Sidney. My friend and I hadn't been here or heard anything about the restaurant but the menu was appealing and the place was busy so we gave it a try. We both had the combination "Garden Delight" plate at $9. It consisted... More

Always is busy!! Average visit is about once a month and whenever we have company. Have never had a bad experience. Prices are very reasonable. Servers are always quick and polite. Very clean considering the constant turnover of customers.

Downtown Sidney with free parking close to walkway and shopping. Love everything we tried. very authentic, fresh an piping hot. We have gone several times without a reservation but I I suspect they are very busy at times, so recommend a reservation for dinner.

Very good Thai food for those living in Sidney. For those in Victoria though, Baan Thai in Broadmead is a slightly better choice. The food at Sabhai Thai was a little more greasy and not quite as flavourful. Prices are competitive compared to other Thai restaurants. If you want to dine in, I highly recommend phoning ahead for a reservation,... More

This is a great place to eat! Love the food selection. The only downside to this place is the hours of operation, they are closed at odd hours so make sure you call ahead before heading there. The one in Langford also has terrible hours. But the food is worth it.

We took the servers advice about choosing 3 different dishes to try for 3 people. All were simply delicious and the cost of the meal was very reasonable. The 4th person in our party is very particular and had never eaten Thai food before so opted to try the cashew chicken. She enjoyed it so much that she wants to... More
