I had never heard of Sabai Sabai, until my friend who works near by suggested we meet there for dinner. Walking in, I was impressed by the atmosphere in the room. I liked the colouful posters and dim lighting.
Let's get right down to it: both dishes I ordered were sublime. I had the Tom Yum soup and the beef salad. The Tom Yum was the best I've ever had, including the year I spent in Thailand. It was amazingly flavourful and full bodied, and the shrimp was perfectly cooked and meaty.
I also ordered the beef salad- a bit unusual for me. It was amazing, very tender and spicy with a lovely hit of lime. It tasted rare. Spectacular.
Despite it being tapas, I found that those two dishes filled me right up. I like that the menu is small, and forced me to order something other than the standard green-curry-pad-thai-spring-rolls that tends to roll off my tongue when ordering at most Thai places.
The service was friendly and accommodating.
I'm thrilled to have discovered Sabai Sabai! Definitely will return!
