This place is truly amazing with their cuisine and flavors. The staff is friendly and really wants you to have a wonderful experience.It is near a shopping center next to Hoover high School and round table.He can order head for pickup and you can dine in and they do have to go menus.Ive gone to Red chicken curry and pad Thai and they are always spot on with their flavors. My wife loves it!

DEFINITELY The best Thai/Lao food spot in the area! The variety of what they have on their menu is perfect for just about anyones taste. Id say theres at least one item for anyone to like on the menu. Small place with big taste. Of course visit for yourself to truly know and experience. Worth the time 👌🏽

We really enjoyed our dinner here. Staff was really friendly, a lot of varied options on the menu, and it is a really cute space. Strangely enough, our favorite thing on the menu was the appetizer Moneybags. Definitely give it a try!

First time trying Laotian style papaya salad and it was so good! Earthy, and briney, with a great depth of heat. The moneybags were the star though! Crispy on the outside with a creamy ginger potato filling.

Rude and unsanitary staff. We seated and waited 10 mins. Staff didnt come to offer any water or take our order. A pair of customers comes in after us and get order taken immediately. Staff member grabs a towel from a bucket to swipe down table and didnt even wash hands after wiping down table. What happened to the nice lady that used to give good service? Turn off....never coming back. If I could give 0 stars I would.

SaBaiDee is a Thai-Lao restaurant that serves wonderfully fresh and classic SE Asian fare.I visited with my cousin after a long day of hiking and fishing. The food is vibrant in color and in taste. Our server was quick, courteous and very proactive.Our food arrived quickly, freshly made, with vibrant colors and taste. We are a little more adventurous eaters and found the spice level to be on par with what we asked (Medium-Hot).

This place was so busy. All if the tables were full and there was a very large amount of people waiting for takeout. We were not impressed with the Pad Thai. It was oily and the flavor was lack luster. The Pineapple rice bowl was fun, I mean, what a better type of way to present Thai rice than in half of a pineapple. Unfortunately, we just felt like there were too many flavors that just didnt work well together in the actual rice. Broccoli beef was fabulous though. Meat was thinly sliced and the veggies were all fresh and cooked to Al dente. The sauce was not overpowering either. Wait staff was nice and very apologetic about the wait time to get our order and to then get the food out to us. They were obviously very frazzled though. I want to come back here though. I think we just didnt order the right things. We saw so many other fabulous entrees that I can imagine were very yummy.

Wow!!! I have never had such great Thai food. I have traveled the world and lived in many other bigger cities including NY, Chicago, Houston and San Diego, but these guys hit the mark on flavor, quality and customer service. I have found myself going there every week now for over a year and they never disappoint. We start off with Thai sausage as an appetizer and our main course is sticky rice with either pepper steak or garlic chicken. Since we have been going for a while we are at a level 10 on heat but I would start at a 1 or 2 if it was my first time cause it gets intense. The pineapple rice is great too as well as the curry. To be honest we have tried every dish on the menu and they have all been amazing.

Finally restaurants are open in Fresno for dine in. We wanted to try something new and walked in not knowing what to expect. We were greeted by a very friendly staff. We asked the waitress of her favorite dishes and the most popular dish. We ordered per her recommendation and everything was so delicious that we will be coming back and inviting some friends over. Highly recommend this place .

Do it. Order all the things from SaBaiDee and relish in the joy it brings. We had the fresh spring rolls, basil eggplant w/ pork, gai pad khing, and mango sweet rice. Portions were generous, food had delectable flavor, and oh my! That mango sweet rice—we should’ve ordered 4 more of those. So delicious.We also appreciated the stellar recommendations from the staff and the quick turnaround on the order time! Compliments to the chef and team. We cannot wait to come back!

Review №19

The atmosphere and service was very nice, but the food wasnt all that great. In my opinion, the Pho noodles in both bowls were not of good quality. They became soggy and stuck together. For the price they have on the wings, they should have been larger. In addition to that, the spicy tomato sauce for the wings really didnt impress either one of us as well.

Review №23

I came to this restaurant because most places that serve Pho add MSG to their food. This place gives you the option of with or, Without. I am highly sensitive to MSG so i ask for without.Even without msg, this place still has Awesome Chicken Pho. And the staff is so nice here.

Review №25

We were greeted and seated almost instantly when we got in, menus handed to us and asked if we were ready to order. We werent. All the food was delicious, drinks delicious, one of the drinks and the sticky rice took awhile to come out. It was forgotten about. But thats okay. It was still a good experience but my husband forgot to tip the waitress so now we feel horrible. Either way great food and service. Never fails to satisfy us.

Another excellent Thai restaurant in Fresno. Not as much of the meat in the curry as other Thai restaurants. But still an excellent green curry. Bring a friend or you daughter if your visiting.

Review №29

First, the service was just outstanding. With the restaurant at near full capacity, they tended to everyone and we were no exception. It seem like the entire staff interacted with us, all were very welcoming, kind, and had a great sense of humor. My friends and I have the tendency to customize our orders, a task I expect anyone to cringe at. However, our friendly waitress guided us through the whole process with smiles and laughter. Our food came out hot in roughly 7-10 mins and our table was constantly tended the whole time. I got fried rice and will try to always come here for fried rice, it was so good! Keep it up SaBaiDee!

I was really surprised at getting Thai food at this quality in Fresno. Everything was spot on in presentation and flavor. Just came back from Thailand and flavors tasted very authentic. Im from L.A where excellent Thai food is on every corner and this place stands out even in that world.

Review №31

We came in & decided to order to go. They immediately took our order & we got our plate quickly. I always order their beef pad thai, nam khao, & pineapple rice. It always comes out fantastic. Also my partner has never been fond of pad thai but I convinced him to try this one & he loved it. Stated it will always be where we get pad thai from now on.

This is one of the 2 or 3 top Thai places I have ever been to, from coast to coast, if not THE best.Everything at our table was perfect. Food is very authentic and flavorful and ingredients are whole and fresh. The presentation was even very nicely done.The service from our waitress was outstanding. Five star experience.

I love Thai cuisine, and have gone to several different restaurants, but SaBaiDee is by far my favorite 🥰 theyre food is delicious and they have generous portions. Youll definitely have leftovers and wont have to cook (or clean) the next day! Weve had their Tom Ka Gai soup (get the pot! It comes in two huge containers) - its a creamy coconut based, chicken soup with lemon grass, mushrooms and other goodies. We also love their curries, the garlic chicken, broccoli beef and seafood soup (with coconut milk). Sorry for eating the food before taking pictures 😬😁

I am from out of town but this is my Fresno family’s favorite Thai food restaurant. They go here almost exclusively for Thai food. Went there on a Friday night and it was quite the popular place. Everybody enjoyed their meals. I enjoyed tasting everybody else’s and will definitely want to try them for myself next time I come here. The employees were nice and courteous.. I can see why this is my family’s favorite place. I really enjoyed it. Won’t be looking for any other Thai food options when I come to visit Fresno. prices were reasonable and the food was great!

Pleasant place. The wait staff was very nice and attentive. I was disappointed with my entree, Thai Beef salad. The beef had good flavor. However, the quality of the beef was not good.I will go back because I think its a nice place I will try a curry next time.All the other diners seemed to be enjoying their meals!!

Review №51

Awesome French restaurant. Their menu is just great, lots of variety. Their onion soup is super tasty, so are the mussels with fries. Their wine menu is great, they have Chablis. They also have daily specials. Prices are high but worth the portions and taste. Venue is super nice, cozy, like an authentic French bistro. Reservations are encouraged. A must in Fresno

Review №52

The food was amazing and it was authentic for both dishes. We ordered the Laotian Grilled Beef and the Thai Green Seafood Curry. Both were packed with flavor and the spiciness was the right level in every bite. My only criticism was that our male server was detached and he had to be reminded to bring my friend Singha beer and an additional teacup for my friend to enjoy my Jasmine Tea. Aside from that, the server was friendly and helpful (with the questions we had regarding the menu items). We would definitely return to this place.

Review №53

The only reason why I even gave this place 3 stars is because the food is good. But the last couple times that Ive been to this place their servers were not very attentive and they definitely did not anticipate any of my needs. Theyre polite kids but dont have any common sense. This last time I went, I went to dine in by myself and I waited a reasonable amount of time for them to come back around so I can ask them for my check and soup containers for my food and then I noticed that they were just talking to each other and I got a little frustrated and got up to go ask them for to go containers and my check and one of them was my server and she was leaning against the counter like she had nothing to do and the third was sitting down screwing around in a chair. Im very understanding and I get it if your busy Im more than happy to let you know that I need attention when you get the chance but like I said the last couple of times I have been to this place their servers were not very good.

Great service! I love Thai food and this place hasnt disappointed yet. As an appetizer, I love the fried calamari. Everything so far has had good flavor and good portion size. My family enjoyed the chicken fried rice, pad Thai, and pad see ew. I havent tried their soup yet but with the colder weather, Im sure I will be trying soon. They are also great with placing orders for pick up.

Review №59

As the other reviews stated there was a wait due to being busy. We were the last to leave of the rush so you can image how excited we were for food. I order the Chicken Pad Thai and my girlfriend got a Curry dish with Chicken. The food looked delicious but did not live up to the presentation. My dish had a fish oil taste but didn’t really taste of much. She got through half her food and saved some for later. She came back later and her food smelled like fish. She doesn’t eat fish. I took two points for each. They are hiring so maybe things will improve.

Worst Asian restaurant ever, My favorite Asian place to eat was closed so was looking for a new spot, found this place online and decided to give them a shot since it had such high star ratings, should have known when there was so little Asian reviews and the ones on there were probly fake but food was horrible, Laap was salty and missing some key ingredients, nam tok was given with wrong dip sauce and I even asked before purchasing if they had the particular dipping sauce for it, kapoon didn’t even have a complete veggie toppings, all in all food was bad

4.5I love this resto. We order for pick up at least once a month. Staff are always friendly. We love their Pad Thai, Nam Tok, Seafood Salad and Papaya Salad. I slashed .5 stars because we always request level 1 spice which they usually do but a few times it is very spicy that it is painful to eat, definitely not a level 1, more like level 5.

First time here... what an showmanship of how family owned and run restaurant should run as.They welcomes us and told us it will be only 10 min before we can be seated.Once we were seated the service was very quick and to the point.We ordered Tom Kha soup, veggie fresh spring roll with tofu, Pineapple fried rice and pad Thai...everything accept the soup was made to perfection. Loved the peanut flavor coming from pad Thai. Pineapple fried rose was loved and almost completely finished by my 8yr old daughter. She said it was the best rice she ever had.Only thing would say that the soup lacked some flavor barley tasted coconut flavor and was lil more watery than I wanted to be.Will definitely be coming back for more yummy food. Overall just great place to eat awesome flavorful yummy Thai food.

I’ve been coming here for the last couple years and they’ve always been great. The food is excellent and their servers are really helpful if you want to try something new. The pad see ew and khao soy are my go-to’s, but everything else I’ve had is good. It is worth noting that space is limited, so big parties are more difficult to accommodate. Just something to keep in mind.

I must eat gluten free. I went with a large group. The wait staff knew all about gluten (without me having to say wheat or noodles or soy sauce or thickener) and I had many many safe choices, without having to make a fuss. I enjoyed the pad thai. Everyone had beautiful looking meals and I dont think anyone could have left there hungry - as in other reviews. Positive experience!

My party of 5 had a great experience. SaBaiDee has a very nice vibe and is clean and tidy, as are the restrooms. Service was excellent as was the food. So many wonderful textures, aromas, spices, colors and flavors. A very nice married couple operate SaBaiDee; with the husband operating the floor and the wife operating the kitchen. After our meal, she came out from the kitchen to our table to introduce herself and to make sure we had enjoyed our meal. Not only was this a very nice personal touch, but took their service to a higher level. .. Other restaurants/competitors would be wise to follow suit.Highly recommended.

Review №69

There is a new player in town! For years, Thai Country has been the only respectable Thai Food Restaurant in town. But, SaBaiDee is changing that. The dishes we tried were all made fresh, with a clean taste that doesnt make you feel heavy. Thai Country and SaBaiDee both still have their own space in the market, as their styles are quite different, and I think you will be pleased going to either place. Special shout out for the homemade sausage appetizer from SaBaiDee.

Was in town on Saturday to meet a friend from college and my friend took me to this hidden jewel. The wait staff was very friendly and patient. As you can see from the pictures, the plating is professionally done and it came out in a couple of waves...which I thought was great as I was able to try some different dishes before they got cold. I let my friend order, so I couldnt tell you what we got...i just know it was all good. Interestingly enough, SaBaiDee roughly translates to its all good.And because I dont eat enough Thai, I sent pics to a friend whose spouse is Thai and they were quite impressed with the presentation.From a casual business lunch to a date you want to impress, let me highly recommend SaBaiDee.

This is our go-to spot for delicious Thai food. The ingredients are always fresh and delicious. The spicy levels are on point! You can choose how spicy you want each dish I always get four. Their fried calamari is delicious. I love the various different sauces spices and toppings they offer. Ive had the Drunken Noodles the Thai noodles and Pad Thai noodles. Theyre all delicious! The crispy noodles are also amazing! I like the crispy noodles with the eggplants. I like to let it sit for a couple of minutes to soften the noodles, amazing!

Review №81

Way Over Priced! Tastes like they put a whole stick of butter in both our curries. My girlfriend and I always get curry every time we travel (every few weeks) we like it because if you have it for breakfast the next day then the price per meal is reasonable. We on average always pay roughly $24-26 for to curries to-go always the same ingredients with 2 sides of rice. Here we ended up paying $44.00 for the same meal and we dont even like it, over all super dissappointed. But Im sure some people would love it, just tastes like that tried to flavor everything up with a stick of butter and we are not into it.
