Sabaijai Thai — Restaurant in Everett

This place is fantastic it’s easy to get too with street parking in Everette being how it is, it may be a tad bit hard to find parking next to Sabaijai but it is easily accessible.

The food and drinks were delicious I had ordered the Grill Duck Noodle Soup, a Lychee Thai Ice Tea, and two bottles of beer Sapporo and Singha.

I was surprised when the server brought out my soup I was expecting it to just be a few strips of duck and noodles not an actual duck leg, the broth was delicious on its own and the noodles just added to that broth flavour I fell in love when I began eating the duck leg and cleaned my dish spotless with how good it was;

The lychee tea was most delicious as well and to incorporate lychee fruit I was half tempted in ordering a dessert but the fruit alone was delicious enough where the dessert would have taken away from the teas overall sweetness, I was most pleased that this place carried my favourite beer on tap/in bottle and was pleasantly surprised by just how good the Singha beer was.

I will definitely consider this place a good place for a date or a place to grab a quick drink the atmosphere adds to the experience the television broadcasted Thai food and the music was audible enough to hear but not overpowering where if I was with someone I would be able to converse with them and still enjoy the music this place is good to come to for dates.

The service was good despite only one person working the restraints floor filling orders and making sure water glasses were full she was so nice and respectful to answer any and all questions I had about the beer and decoration.

In summery I would definitely recommend anyone who is in the north everett area to stop by Sabaijai Thai and give it a try the chef knows what he’s doing and I’m confident that if you eat here you won’t...

Came in hoping it would be good due to the high ratings. We casually walked in after a walk at the waterfront.

I'm Hmong, so I eat southeast Asian food regularly. This is based on MY experience (and my sisters who were with me).

DRINKS: Thai ice tea was good. Like any other thai ice tea.

Lychee Thai Tea - according to my sister, it was too sweet. She brought it home and allowed it to water down with the ice.

FOOD: Papaya Salad with Crab (Lao style) - not bad but not as delicious as a real Lao style papaya. Very sour. Almost too salty.

Crab Ragoon (cheesy wonton) - Good 👍

Fresh Rolls (aka Spring rolls) - Lettuce wasn't fresh, clearly a dying lettuce sticking out at the end of the roll. Like an old lettuce that you wouldn't use for your salad. We ordered it with shrimp 🍤 (extra cost with shimp)...the shrimp was VERY tiny. It was basically just "vegetarian". The shrimp was not even a standard medium. peanut sauce was good

SERVICE: Not a busy restaurant for dinner time. A small family of 3 was in the restaurant. Maybe two pick up orders. But I felt service was slow and not inviting.

When we ordered off the menu, the waitress kept saying "excuse me?" Like she couldn't understand my English. And I am born and raised here in the states, I feel my English was fine.

Through the night, she kept saying "excuse me?" Every time we asked for something, which was barely anything (getting boxes to go).

BUT I did notice waitress was very nice to all the white folks that came in. Her voice was actually alive and she could clearly hear them.

I'm not exaggerating. I am just being honest. I'm not angry, but we won't be going back. If this is a good Thai restaurant for you, that's great.

We will continue to cook our delicious southeast Asian food at home and go support other Thai restaurants...

We came for dinner on a Sunday, before a show at the Village Theater around the corner. Just picked this place because it's open on Sunday evening, but we all agreed we will go back.

At first, the service seemed a bit slow. We got our drinks, but not at the same time. Since we're used to equating good service with fast service, it took a bit of adjusting for us and, in the end, the service was great and we wound up taking our time to enjoy each dish.

Each person ordered one dish, which we shared family style. The fried tofu appetizer was delicious, and so were the fresh rolls (with shrimp). There was a variety of sauces and they were all yummy and complemented the food, rather than overpowering it. We got the appetizer sampler, but it was a little disappointing - mostly because the fried mushrooms were nothing special.

We had some young ladies in the party and they really liked the fried chicken. They also tried all the other dishes and found plenty to eat.

We got crispy pork belly and braised pork belly. We liked the braised a bit more than the crispy.

Some of the serving dishes were very interesting, but some were just flat plates and getting sauce off of them took a bit of work.

The Thai tea was really strong and really sweet, like they were a little heavy handed on the condensed milk. The heat level was a bit off - we asked for a 2 on the basil fried rice, and that was the only dish that was remotely spicy (more like a 4).

All in all, we really enjoyed the place. We arrived at 4:30 which turned out to be good since we avoided the crowd that started to show up around 6. We'll definitely be back, even if it's quite a drive from Tacoma and Federal Way to Everett. Sabaiji Thai is...
