Sabai Thai — Restaurant in Port Angeles

This is truly the ONLY place you want to dine at in Port Angeles. We are big fans of Thai food, but it's rare to find a place so authentic and delicious outside of massive cities. Here is what made our experience so special:

It was a super busy Saturday night when we arrived and we were waiting at the counter to get take-out. We were told it was a 45 minute wait, but a lovely hostess ended up seating us within 15 minutes while we were looking over the take-out menu. Talk about service! Our server Aaron was fabulous. They were incredibly attentive and made sure that we understood the specials and how the spice levels worked. The owner came by to check on us as we tried our food, which is almost unheard of nowadays. I love it when things like this happen. The food was INSANELY flavorful and had the perfect balance of spice (we ordered all dishes with 3 stars). If you're a fan of a more spicy dish, 4 or 5 may be more of your jam. We were big fans of the Chicken Satay, which came out piping hot and very moist and the Gang Garee Yellow Curry. We have tried a lot of yellow curries, but the sauce in this one was top notch. The Chicken Basil Noodle was also made perfectly and the pickled cucumbers with our appetizers were to die for. Get the plum wine. You will not regret it. Everyone could not have been nicer and we were truly wowed by the level of care taken by the entire staff to ensure we had a fantastic dinner.

Even though Sabai Thai is a 4 hour drive from us, we are ready to make the time commitment just to eat at this beautiful restaurant again. If you're in town, skip everything else and come here. It's...

Sabai Thai was recommended by a local-- I wanted something fresh and healthy for a warm Summer night-- this place did not disappoint!!

We wanted to branch out and try some dishes that we don't see on a typical Thai menu where we live so my husband and I went with a starter and three entrees-- we started with the Eggplant Dip with freshly fried Shrimp Crackers from the house specials part of the menu. Based on the server recommendation, we tried the Curried Noodles! From the "regular menu" we had Thai BBQ Chicken and-- just because you've got to-- Pad Thai!

All had perfect proportions of spice, depth, brightness, or sweetness in perfect proportions-- the food was fresh and so flavorful!

Without special requesting, we received lots of extra fresh bean sprouts on the side of the phad thai and HALF A LIME on top of the curry noodles so we could really get that citrus finishing flavor! The shrimp crackers from the appetizer were fried to order and were still popping and crackling when they were placed on our table. Everything was perfect. The presentation was gorgeous too!

Lastly, the staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and plentiful! They answered all of our questions, checked in with us often (but not too often) to see if we needed anything, and I overheard them discussing what protocols they could follow to ensure food safety for a patron that had a specific food allergy.

I wish, wish, WISH that this restaurant was in my town. Port Angeles, you really do have a gem in Sabai Thai, I can't wait to...

Was skeptical of this place but I became a believer after dining here.

Atmosphere: Super cute décor. Parking lot in the back.

Service: super fast and attentive. The food came out really fast because she said it was before they get crowded and busy - so come early!

Food: Was really impressed by the food here. Got the Crispy Duck because I just had to try it after seeing the photos. Did not disappoint. Really tender meat and enjoyed the veggies that came with it - great sauce too. Wasn't really "crispy" but I didn't mind it because the flavors were so good. I would recommend the Eggplant dip - it tasted just like a caramelized onion dip haha. The shrimp crackers are very nostalgic to me and my childhood. Partner got the red tawan curry but he asked for it to be 4 stars out of 5 spicy level and he said it wasn't really spicy. So if you like spice, I recommend going for the 5. The sticky black rice pudding with coconut milk was a great ending to the meal.

Overall, highly recommend. It certainly gets busy. We came here 10 mins. into opening on a weeknight and was sat down right away. But by the time were done with our meal, the place had filled up completely and there was a wait and reservations were...
