Don’t waist your time. Probably the worst Thai food I have ever had. We ordered our order ahead of time and they didn’t see our order come in. The food was dry. We won’t be back EVER!

Too spicy.

Diner Review №7

Love this place! Food is always consistent and service is fast and friendly! We love the garlic stir fry and curry! 10/10

Diner Review №8

This cute corner-style restaurant charms with its inviting ambiance and attentive service. The staff makes you feel welcome and well-cared-for, adding to the cozy, enjoyable vibe. While the menu holds promise, I found the chicken curry a bit underwhelming for my taste due to the mixture of light and dark meat. The flavor was amazing, but I didn't enjoy the meat. For those who enjoy the contrast, it may offer a pleasant complexity, but if you prefer large chunks of white meat, it might not quite hit the mark. Nonetheless, the experience is worth a try for the overall vibe and great service!

Unsere beiden Essen (Yellow Curry und Garlic Chicken) waren sehr lecker und die Gastgeberin in der Küche einfach nur liebenswert. Sie hat sich sehr um uns und vor allem unseren Sohn gekümmert. Wir werden hier definitiv nochmal essen gehen.

Diner Review №10

*Update: it seems like this place is going a bit downhill because last night I ordered pineapple fried rice. First let me say, using canned pineapple in Hawaii is diabolical. And where were the red bell peppers as described on the menu?? Also, the four slivers of carrot is crazy cheap. this was the most basic fried rice I've ever had and not in a good way.

I have eaten here several times both dine in and carry out. It really is a hit or miss -sometimes the food is great and then other times it can be too salty or the rice too sticky or the Pad Thai noodles are clumped together as if they're overcooked. But when they get it right, it is delicious.

Diner Review №11

Excellent food - drunken noodles were on point and spicy had some nice heat. Service is friendly. Not an elegant restaurant but cozy and quick service.

Diner Review №12

My favorite Thai restaurant on Island. Stoked it’s right by my home. Highly recommend

Diner Review №13

Really good Thai boat noodle soup, beef was really tender with delicious fat! Service was awesome, ice water was always full, made us feel like we were at home.

Diner Review №14

Serving size was big enough to share. The food came out soooo fast! Affordable prices in a local looking street. Inside was a bit hot.

Diner Review №15

Everything was amazing.

Diner Review №16

Diner Review №17

Food, hospitality everything was good!!! Amazing! We ordered thi curry, fried chicken, drunken noodle, kalbi plate, summer roll and mango sticky rice. Chicken and kalbi's quality are wonderful! And curry is also super good! Highly recommended!!

Diner Review №18

Everything about this place was excellent. Having lived in Thailand, I've been on the hunt for great Thai food for years, and haven't found one this good. The food was exceptional as was the service. Just in town for a few days but I'll be stopping here again.

Diner Review №19

I love the worst food we’ve ever eaten. Really bad

Diner Review №20

Fast, friendly service. Delicious drunken noodles.

Diner Review №21

Delicious food at reasonable prices. Very friendly and attentive staff. Tons of filtered ice water too- they never let our glasses get past half empty.

The restaurant was clean, but it’s in a slightly dicey part of town so walking there was interesting. Definitely worth a stop for an awesome lunch. The drunken noodles, pineapple chicken, and lemongrass sausages were so good.

Diner Review №22

Delicious food, so much similar to how Family cooked it back home in the Bay Area. Wonderful and loving restaurant staff, even though small and a bit hard to notice, this is cuisine is definitely worth it. Come check it out (their dessert is sweet & outstanding)!

Diner Review №23

One if the best Red Curry I’ve had! Authentic Lao Green Papaya salad too!

Diner Review №24

Diner Review №25

The food at Sabb Thai is very good. The prices are on par for the quality and portion size. Got to talk story with the owner. Very pleasant and friendly.

The location is becoming more typical of many Honolulu locations with lots of rubbish and homeless around. Unfortunately the curb appeal turned me off for several years as I walked by this restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable and homey the inside of the restaurant is.

I had the no meat spicy eggplant and green curry. Recommended and I look forward to returning.

Diner Review №26

The food was very good. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The service was great. We ate in. It is a very small restaurant. Don't let the small space fool you.

Diner Review №28

I had an amazing lunch today. I was craving Tom Yum, so I walked down to the place I see every day I’m driving home from work. I was not disappointed. The ladies there were so nice, and the food is so delicious. I had Tom Yum, Nam Tok, and an order of some of the most crispy Spring Rolls I have had in a while. Some ladies there were eating a delicious looking Lao Papaya salad that I can’t wait to come back to try and want to try the sausage as well. Can’t wait to become a regular!!!!

Diner Review №29

curry was fine but the pad thai was SO salty it was inedible

Diner Review №30

The best curry, drunken noodles, and calamari

Diner Review №31

My favorite Thai restaurant. The best lemon beef salad ever! All her curries are delish yellow is my go to. If you love Tom Yum this is your spot. If you haven't tried Sabb Thai food you are definitely missing out on the best Thai/Lao food in Honolulu.

Diner Review №32

Nice and spicy food from noodles to rice and salad.

Diner Review №33

Definitely top tastiest Thai food restaurants I’ve ever had!! Every dish we had was overwhelmingly delicious. The orders came out very fast and tasted fresh. Portions were generous. I don’t think I’ll eat Thai food anywhere else.

It's one of the best tasting thai/lao foods in Hawaii! The laab was very good, and the sausage was hands down one of the best I had. The owner is very nice and accommodating. She gave me some samples to try, and it was delicious. The place is true authentic Thai and lao food!

Diner Review №41

Delicious Thai iced tea and coffee. Summer rolls are big! Peanut sauce was outstanding. Severe diarrhea. Would come back.

I went here tonight and ordered my normal Thai meal and asked the guy taking my order to give me one of his favorite dish. The dish he gave me was absolutely mesmerizing!!! I didn't even bother eating my go to Thai meal (panang curry) and just ate the amazing dish he got me.

Diner Review №45

Tasty food, awesome people, what else could I ask for? Highly recommended!

I recently dined at Sabb Thai and I was blown away by the amazing food and top-notch service. The dishes were fresh and bursting with delicious flavors, while the staff was friendly and provided high-quality service. I highly recommend Sabb Thai for an outstanding dining experience.

Diner Review №56

Diner Review №57

Great place to go for Thai and Lau food. You can order from Bobby's bar next door and they will bring your order to you.

Diner Review №58

Criminally underrated. The flavors are fresh and balanced with a heavy portion of vegetables (exactly what we all need). The pad sew ew blew my mind, so delicious I couldnt get it into my mouth fast enough. The fried chicken was crispy and moist and cooked perfectly. Go here, it’s authentic and delicious and you will not be disappointed. Bonus - bring over some soju from the market across the street 😉

Diner Review №59

The fact that this restaurant has anything less than a 5 is shocking to me. It’s some of the best Thai food I’ve ever had. The pad see iew noodles were huge, delicious and also packed with delicious vegetables and shrimp. The flavor of the garlic shrimp was incredible!! The service was so friendly and quick too. I will be going back and if you don’t go you are missing out!

Diner Review №61

This review is long overdue. This place is great. The food is amazing and the owner is so nice, she provides that homey feeling. Both me and my husband loved it here.

Diner Review №62

Great hidden gem of a restaurant. Go there for the taste and not the ambience. Their Tom Yum soup is great and the fried rice is awesome! Every dish we ordered was worth it. To top it all, it’s reasonably priced! Had we discovered it earlier, we would have eaten here more often on our vacation.

Diner Review №63

This restaurant is INCREDIBLE! The food is wonderful and the staff is truly the best of the best!

Diner Review №64

Best Thai food we had on the island during our honeymoon! The owners are fantastic and incredibly generous. I would 10/10 recommend for anybody, especially folks staying in Ala Moana/Waikiki area. Super easy walk and an awesome vibe inside the restaurant!

Diner Review №65

Hot damn! I stumbled in here from the heat looking for something that would set my mouth on fire and boy did they deliver. The basil chicken had me crying like a baby in therapy with enough basil and flavor to keep me coming back for more. Thanks for the great quick lunch for a guy on the go!

Diner Review №66

Diner Review №67

Amazing food..the best Sausage I've ever had was this Laos sausage..we will definitely order here again

Diner Review №68

Good food Lao sausage very good

Diner Review №69

Service was very friendly, prices reasonable, food had some authentic qualities about it, overall pretty good

Diner Review №70

The food was atrocious. We ordered a curry and a Tom kha. Both were incredibly salty, almost like they cooked with sea water. The curry was drowned by saltiness, and lacked sweetness and herbal notes. The Tom kha was not only salty, but completely ruined by the overuse of coconut milk. Its texture felt like clam chowder with how thick it was. Couldn't finish either dish cause they burned my throat with the salt. This is hands down the worst Thai restaurant I have had.

Diner Review №71

Good food tasty fast good portion kinda expensive

Diner Review №72

Super good food!

Diner Review №73

Best Thai in town.

Diner Review №74

Best food ever. The green curry was wonderful.

Diner Review №75

Good home style cooking and generous portions. Tables and seats kind of worn down though. Staff very friendly and the cook even took my order directly, suggesting choices to suit my tastes.

Diner Review №76

If you like Lao/thai authentic food this is a must go to place to enjoy traditional cuisine. The people there are very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely go again!

Diner Review №77

Ordered larb. Traditional dish. Bland. No chilis, only about 9 bites of pork. Pretty upset.

Diner Review №78

It's alright the steak plate always tastes different each time I order it but it's still good I'm guessing different chefs come in at different times and they cook it a bit differently than the other. I love the ice coffee it really hits the spot I wish I could order that everyday 😍 ! Hard to find parking though

Diner Review №79

This is my favorite place to get thai! The food isn't presumptuous or fancy but it is very good and reasonably priced. Portion size is excellent and flavor is second to none. If you like spicy food, and order "spicy", no punches are pulled. Also, if you are looking for a fun, authentic, thai atmosphere check out Bobby's Bar which is next door. They share the kitchen and menu. The staff is warm and inviting.

Diner Review №80

Heavily using with my colleagues and family. Good genuine Thai foods with reasonable price.
Pad-ped is my favorite.

Delicious! My friend who just visited Thailand says it's definitely authentic! The family who works there are friendly and great cooks. We are becoming there weekly customers. The pad thai, green curry and yellow curry is very flavorable. I like the Jazmin rice with my curry. Thai ice tea is so good to. Can't wait to try more!

Great Thai food. Prices are ok for the quality and amount of food. Parking can be scarce though. Good view on the corner if you like relaxing and just watching people walk by while enjoying a good meal.

Diner Review №95

Small little spot, but some of the best green curry under $15 I've found on Oahu.

Great little place that has really good and fresh food

Diner Review №102

Not at all what we expected after good recommendations. Food good but not a restaurant.

Diner Review №103

Before food it good and not expensive! But now to experience , food taste bad never come back again

Diner Review №104

Diner Review №105

Not authentic by any means. I ordered Panang.. and they brought me a hot steamy bowl of spiced coconut milk loaded with MSG. I instantly got a headache, felt very lethargic and bloated. Not at all what I expected. I ended up at home over the toilet with my finger down my throat. The End.

Diner Review №106

Fast food Thai.

Diner Review №107

Well hello, decent Thai food near Don Quijote. This cute little Thai restaurant is cheap, A-Okay, and probably not named after the car company (may Saab Rest In Peace).

The shrimp in my shrimp curry was frozen, but, for $10/plate, that is acceptable. Few restaurants could pull off fresh shrimp at that price. The food was authentic and, unlike many establishments, very nice and spicy when you ask for it.

The austerity of this restaurant is complemented by its authenticity, I can't help but give them a good rating. Try it for yourself!

Diner Review №108

Very large portions, very tasty must go. The neighborhood is a little sketchy around the corner from it though.

Diner Review №109

Another secret little local spot that is out of the way and has great authentic thai food. Pretty much as good as Thailand without going there. Food has not been westernized to meet the dull boring farang palette. Always awesome.
