SabbVerr Thai Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Seattle

Updated Review (08/29/2025): Guys, I wanted to update my review—not because this place lost any stars, but because I have to rave about it again. Honestly, if I could give this place 500 stars out of 10, I would. Honestly, best in the country lol. No, not sponsored. I just love food.

This is hands down the best Thai food in Seattle. Every dish is crafted with such authentic Southeast Asian herbs and spices that it instantly takes me back to my trip to Thailand—and even to my childhood growing up in a Cambodian household. That’s how insanely good this place is.

The only reason some people might take off stars is the spice level. If you can’t handle heat, I get it. But for me, the spice and herbs are what make it so authentic. I’m sure they can adjust if needed, but I really encourage you to try it with some level of spice—it’s worth it and it's culturally accurate! Always worth a shot.

What I love most about this place is that they haven’t westernized their recipes. That means I get to enjoy true comfort food, and I also get to share real Southeast Asian food with friends who’ve never tried it before. I eat here maybe twice a month—it’s my “I work hard, I deserve this” meal, and also my “a friend’s in town, let me show them the best of Seattle” spot. Each time, I order something different -- just to make sure I'm being honest with myself. Halfway through all they offer, can confirm this place is fire 🔥

Do yourself a favor and give it a try. It’s absolutely worth it. It truly is the best place for a date night, a self-care day, an in-law visit.. and so on. The atmosphere and live music is just the beautiful cherry on top too. More places to support this amazing small business.

Previous Review: Southeast Asian approved! All the food I got was amazing. We got the Green Curry and Ba Mee Hang Sukhothai and it was amazing. Would recommend...

5 Big Fat Stars from us 🇨🇦. Zabbverr !!! My husband and I are from Vancouver, BC. Been trying to make time to try this restaurant when we visit Seattle. We finally did it. If you like authentic thai-Esarn food, you must stop here. You will not be disappointed. All the dishes we ordered were delicious. The flavour was very yummy, authentic to Thailand taste. They specialize in the cuisine of Northeastern Thailand (E-SARN). We wanted to try everthing on the menu, it all looked so mouth watering good. What we ordered was: Kor Moo Yang คอหมูย่าง Grilled Pork Jowl with Esarn dipping sauce (Jaewsauce) cooked to melt in your mouth perfection. We lovvvvvvved it very much. DELISH!!! Don't forget to order sticky rice to eat with it.

Grilled Chicken Liver ตับไก่ย่างเสียบไม้ with Esarn dipping sauce. Perfectly grilled with creamy texture and taste great. It was grilled just like skewers of Thai street food.

Nam Kow Tod แหนมข้าวทอด Marinated minced pork with Crispy rice salad with thai herbs and spice, this dish is a favorite that I have every time I go to thailand and it tasted just as good.

Simmer Beef Noodle Hot Pot ก๋วยเตี๋ยวเนื้อตุ๋นหม้อไฟ very flavourful rice noodle soup with lots of beef also meat balls and liver...bean sprouts and morning glory vegetable... It came with the candle under the pot to keep the soup hot.

Family owned, great host, friendly staff and excellent service. Special thanks to Moo and Inn for taking care of us.

We will most definitely come back to Zabbverr again. Thank you /...

I heard good things about this spot since the renovation. Also heard the spice level was strong and I’ve been dying to find actual spicy Thai food in Seattle recently.

I always test the waters on a new spot with Pad Thai. If you can’t do that right then I don’t see any reason to come back. Got the 4/5 spice level just in case. Take out. My first impression was that it was very dry. Barely if any sauce at all. Plastic container of red pepper flakes, peanuts and…sugar?!? Ok.

Spice was non-existent. Not even the slightest bit of heat. For 4/5 stars I at least expect a little burn. Seattle spice standards or not. Noodles tasted as dry as they looked. Good char on the chicken but otherwise that’s about it. Charred noodles was basically the flavor profile here.

All this and I paid $20 for the Pad Thai Boran which I guess has a banana blossom? No banana blossom in my order. Just a banana leaf at the bottom which calls for the higher price tag, I suppose.

Really wanted to like this place but can’t see myself going back based...
