What a great little place. The noddle soup is very hearty and is bursting with a lot of flavor. Service was outstanding and was really impressed. It's on Corydon but west of Stafford so there is no problem with parking. Might be one of my go tos now!
Definitely my go to for Thai. Quality is consistent, easily one of the best pad Thai I’ve had. I’m careful on the spice, level 3, sometimes 4 if I’m feeling adventurous, but I also can’t handle too much spice (Sweat everywhere and no one wants to be around me, lol). Their salmon ceviche salad is bomb. I’ve gone a couple times where they didn’t have it available. Great place overall!
This is a favourite of ours and have made it a new favourite for many of our friends. Great for dine in or takeout. Always more fun to share so you can taste more dishes!
The Swizzle Styx dined here this week and it was excellent. The restaurant was cozy & clean and service was good. The food was very fresh tasting with wonderful flavours, can't wait to go back and try more dishes😊
Thai is extremely popular in Winnipeg but you cannot miss this restaurant. It is amazing everything is great and the service is superb! Definitely a must try restaurant
So far the best thai I've had in winnipeg. I was a big fan of the food here. Portions aren't as big as other places, but still fair. What won me over was the flavourful food! Wait time was too long for me, I would for sure not come here if you are super hungry - because you might become hangry, but I will say it was worth the wait. Super friendly staff, clean and comfortable environment. Will be coming back for sure!
Really delicious food and fantastic prices!! I ordered the Pad Thai and my boyfriend chose the drunken noodles. Both dishes were quite flavourful. This is top on our list to try again.
This review is based solely on food, and not on ambiance or service considering I ordered for pickup. And I will definitely be ordering again. And the best part is it's right around the corner from me, so for my Friday nights in with sweats and Netflix, I can satisfy my noodle craving by walking just down the street.
I ordered the Pad Thai with chicken, Chiang Mai with chicken (which was my favourite not only fresh, but also the day after!) and the Matsaman Curry with Beef. My one beef with this place (pun intended) was that the beef was actually over cooked and a little dry, otherwise it was everything I wanted. And also reasonably priced. 2 Noodle dishes, and 1 Curry dish, with a container of rice for about $37 was great, and enough to feed 3 hungry people if we'd had a third. But there were two of us and had enough for both for leftovers the next day.
Super delish. Can't wait for my next dinner from Sabai Thai!
Last week my oldest brother Ian paid a visit to Winnipeg. On Thursday he and I went for lunch together. We ended up picking Sabai Thai Eatery, on Corydon Avenue at the Corner of Wilton Street. This is one of those places that I’ve heard a lot about, but never visited. It seems whenever I’m in the area I turn on autopilot and end up at Falafel Place. After a couple of visits, I can certainly say that Sabai Thai will certainly be a more frequent stopping place when I’m up in the Crescentwood neighbourhood.
Positive experience every time!!! I've had the golden triangle and chiang Mai twice, and every try to branch out and try something new, and it's always good, but never as good as the chiang Mai and golden triangle. Prompt and courteous service, great flavours.
The atmosphere isn't anything to write home about, but the food is a winner.
We ordered two dishes - red curry (hotness level 7) and chiang mai noodles (5). I'd recommend both. 7 is definitely fine for anyone already used to spice. The portion sizes are a bit smaller than what you might be used to but the price reflects it. For example, the red curry dish was $11 and is a great portion for one person. At other places you might spend $15 and have some leftovers.
Definitely try this place if you're into thai! I'm planning on returning.
Amazing food, amazing service, great area and atmosphere. Made a zomato account just to review the restaurant because it was that good. Crab Rangoon, stuffed chicken wings, and crunchy noodles were all perfect!

Great Thai food. Best I've had in Winnipeg so far a beating my neighbourhood favourite Siam.
The atmosphere is cozy and the service was a bit slower but worth the wait. I should also note our server was apologetic about the unusual wait.
The food was fantastic with the summer roll appy, and Pad-Thai and Mastaman curries being fast group favorites. Though everything else was very good too being made from quality rich ingredients.
Highly recommend if you like Thai food!
[POSITIVE] This place is totally 100% awesome! The menu and dishes reminds me a lot of the Magic Thai restaurant on Logan, (may even possibly be the same family). Anyway, there's a few different dishes here but Sabai has the same outstanding food, pleasant service, and fast food prep on you orders for take-out or for eat in. The servings are a little smaller than Magic Thai, but the quality is definitely on par, and the addition of the unique dishes here makes this place stand out. Really enjoyed the Chiang Mai Noodles dish. You can custom order your food, and so I had it with deep-fried tofu and had them hold the cilantro, (my friends who I went with warned me they add a lot, so if you're not a fan of the pungent flavor of fresh cilantro, tell the kitchen to leave it out). Price was reasonable. My only small complaint is I wish they had a large order of white rice. They only have a small (and it is very small), white rice dish you can order for your meal, (additional $3.00). They really need to have a large white rice dish, (double the size). All in all, a fantastic place for Thai lunch or dinner on Corydon Ave. (West of Stafford). I will be back here for sure! 👌
Delicious Meals, great little location, and friendly staff! Little slow getting to us to order, otherwise once the orders were taken everything was absolutely delicious.
Awesome restaurant. The pad Thai was the best we have ever had. The coconut soup was amazing. Good service. You won't go wrong picking this restaurant.
Food here is very flavourful and service has always been good. My fav's are the crab Rangoon red curry with chicken and the cashew beef stir fry with fig jam. The only complaints are that the portions sizes are really quite small and you have to pay for white rice. Seriously?
Came here because the original place I wanted to go to was closed for renovations... That restaurant's loss was totally our gain by choosing this restaurant on a whim! Loved this place - great curry and Tom yum soup... And the fried banana dessert was the great end to a great meal! Will be back again for sure! ☺
My boyfriend and I had a quick lunch here right after my shift. They're usually closed by 2pm but we arrived around 1:45sh, but still they accommodate us. The food was great. We really loved it. Not just an ordinary Thai restaurant. We'll definitely go back here and bring some friends
Great Thai food restaurant. The service has always been phenomenal and the food is always good. Only thing is I feel they don't give you very much meat for what you are paying...
Really amazing Thai food. One of my favourite Thai restaurants in the city along with Thida's. The only real issue I have is that the first time I visited they did not ask me how spicy I wanted it. The spice levels are kind of weak IMO. But it makes up for it by being really really really delicious.
Live right around the corner- even if I didn't, I'd drive across the city for this Thai food. Never greasy, fresh, flavorful. The Panang Mushroom Bowl is my absolute fave! Also love all the vegan options! Service is never quick but they make up for it with great food! I've eaten here dozens of times and it's always consistent! Try it for yourself!! (Way better than that Siam Thai everyone raves about- yuck!).
The green curry didn't disappoint. I will be ordering it again.
Tasty!. I've been here twice. After the first time, I swore that I would give up Chinese food forever, in favor of Thai food. Yes, that's how good my meal was. It was a refreshing taste sensation.
It's worth trying and one of the places I take visitors to Winnipeg.
Love love love this place! It's right around the corner for my house and I've been here many times! The food is absolutely delicious, I LOVE Thai food and this is so far the best in the city. Service can be a little slow but the food is so worth it every time! Order the Mushroom Panang, you won't regret it!
Had an absolutely wonderful evening here, and can't wait to go back! It's decorated really nicely, the aromas coming out of the kitchen were amazing, and it felt really warm and cozy coming in from a cold, dreary night. The hostess found us a seat right away, even though we were quite early for our reservation. All the staff we came in contact with were friendly, and professional. The food was really great. All in all, it struck me as one of those great places you just want to be-before, during, and after your meal! My only regret is that I drive past it hundreds of times en route to other destinations and didn't stop until last week!
Good Lunch!!!. Went for lunch with a friend this week. Restaurant was clean and appealing, the service very good - friendly and helpful. So far I have only had the spicy green curry soup with chicken, but it was amazing, and for just 6 bucks (I had the smaller size), it was more than enough! The server even brought an extra bowl of rice for me to add in, if I chose. My friend had the green curry udon, which she claimed was one of the best she has had. The tea selection was excellent - we had the Jade Pearl, and it came nice and hot in a cast iron pot. I will be back!!!!
Really good.....I mean REALLY good!. First visit last night, and Wow! They blew away my expectations.
Our go-to place was closed, so we decided to try Sabai, having driven past it so many times.
Nothing but bold, fresh flavors, and no shortage of heat! Absolutely delicious.
We had the Mee Krop (great, but will ask for more spice next time), the Salmon Ceviche (incredible), the cucumber salad (tastiest salad I've ever had), the chicken satay (average chicken, but above average dipping sauce), and the pineaple wonton dessert (blown away again!).
The girls working were super fast, efficient, and friendly.
One of my new top 5 places in town!
One of the best Thai meals I've had in this city. Very gluten free friendly, everything is clearly marked on the menu as gf. I will be returning as often as possible.
Loved the food , tried all 3 vegetarian menu items. Chili in oil isnt that great but over all food was yummy and workth going
Always Amazing. No matter what we order, or when we get there, its just wonderful. Best to get there before 5pm on a Friday/Saturday or you'll find yourself waiting and drooling at the same time.
Favorite place in Winnipeg for Thai, hands down.
Fantastic. This place will blow your socks off. We've never had a dish that we didn't like; the springrolls with peanut sauce are particularly nice.
Delicious. We went last night and I loved it. My friend had the hot and sour soup and Pad Thai, and I had the Coconut soup and Black Bean. It was all great! I will certainly go again.
Best Thai food. One of the best place to go for authentic Thai food in Winnipeg. New owner was able to maintained the quality of the food and service. Highly recommended.
I ate here for lunch, and I had the Crab Rangoon for starters, and the Pad Thai for main.
The Crab Rangoon was pretty tasty on its own, but the sauce that it came with was rather overpowering, and quite salty.
The Pad Thai wasn't anything special.
It was good, don't get me wrong, and the price was right, but it didn't stand apart from other Pad Thai dishes in the city.
Good meal, good service, and I'd come here again.
As always, fantastic food and service. We were at Sabai last night as a party of 11 for my mum's birthday. Nothing disappointed. The many dishes we ordered (spring rolls, chicken satay, eggplant, spicy chinese greens, pineapple panang curry, green curry, pad thai, udon with black bean & garlic, sticky rice) were thoroughly enjoyed by all and the service was fantastic. Despite the fact that the server/manager was serving the entire busy restaurant, we were well attended to - and very, very pleasantly. Also, we requested that our dishes be made without fish or oyster sauce; this was accommodated and the food was still delish.
Great modern atmosphere. Waitress was friendly; experienced good service. My first time here and had fallen in love Khao Saway vermicelli light coconut curry topped with crunchy noodles and vegetable. Cant wait to come back to try other dishes.
As much as I love the food here, PLEASE get your servers look after your customers. The one server with brownish reddish hair is great, the others let you sit...and sit... And sit..... They seat you then you practically have to stand on the table to get service. Even when it's not busy. Please fix this... Cause we loveyour food!
Great Thai in River Heights. Sabai Thai has become my Thai restaurant of choice in Winnipeg. I've eaten here many times and tried most of the dishes on the menu. The Panang Curry is particularly good, as are the Pickerel Cheeks.
The food is consistently delicious, the service is quick and friendly and the ambiance is relaxed. Highly recommended.
Yum. Love this place. We deviate now and then to try a new Thai place, but nothing has compared to this place so far and we always go back.
Also to note - we take our 5 year old here so have no fear of taking your kids here (most seats are booths).
This is my favourite place for Thai food. Service is always friendly and the food never disappoints.
Went here after looking for a vegan-friendly lunch nearby. All dishes have the option of chicken, beef, tofu or shrimp (extra $) Our server was really friendly and quick. I had the summer rolls and curried eggplant with tofu. My partner had the calamari which he said was the best he's had and the mee krop, he said he has had much better. The summer rolls leave a lot to the imagination, pretty bland and the peanut dipping sauce's sweetness doesn't match up. The curry was fantastic, but the eggplant was well over cooked. May come back to try something else. Left full and satisfied.
Great Food and Casual Atmosphere. Been to Sabai many times now, and it never disappoints.
Food was tasty and the service was very fast and attentive.
Kaeng Phed Ped Yang!. Decided to try out lunch on a late afternoon. Service was attentive and efficient. Ordered both the Khao San Pad Thai and the Lychee Curry Duck, while the Pad Thai is mostly passable by any standard, the Lychee Curry Duck was top notch and worthy of the high price.
The portion of the duck was good and the flavor was an excellent mix of sweet, tangy and savory, we have not been able to find any good Thai restaurant in Winnipeg that serves Kaeng Phed Ped Yang and our search has now ended :)
Tasty. Gave Sabai a try for the first time the other day for lunch. Very simple decor and fairly small. Our server was prompt and friendly. Somewhat surprised they dont serve coffee, but tried a tea (not a tea drinker) and it was quite good. We had the Khao San pad thai and the 3 mushroom panang curry and a side of jasmin rice (extra 2.00, but you get enough for at least 3 ppl). The meals were delicious and the serving size generous. If you like Thai, give this place a try.
So good! I made an urbanspo.... So good!
I made an urbanspoon account just so I could write about how awesome this place is! My boyfriend and I went here a few days ago and I died the food was sooooo good. Recommend the curry, but honestly, everything will blow you away. Best Thai in Winnipeg hands down. BOOM!
One of my two favourites in the City. I have been going to Sabai since they opened. Magic Thailand was easily my favourite Thai restaurant and Sabai is owned by the same family. The red currey soup is addicting. I LOVE spicy food and hate it when a restaurant tells you a dish is very spicy...it's almost always a let down. While most of my friends think spicy #4 is risque, I usually get spicy # 8, but have tried #10 as well. For true spice lovers, you won't be disappointed. I worked near Magic Thai, but live near Sabai. These are my two favourite Thai restaurants, and I've tried most of them in Winnipeg. Thida's is second. I went on my first date with my guy to Sabai a year ago today. The atmosphere is great for a date. Magic Thai is more for friends and lunch. Service is excellent, as well.
Ate there for the first time & really liked it, and I am very fussy when it comes to restaurants. Would definitely go again.
Oh Yeah!. Excellent! A current favorite! Tasty, tasty dishes. Portions could be a bit bigger but that's probably because they're so yummy you just want to eat more! Esp like the green curry. Dreamy.
Decent ambiance, very good service, friendly...my only whine is that they aren't open late enough. We went there at 9:30 on a Friday and they were closing! Not cool. Otherwise, I'd have to say 9/10.
Love it!. Every dish is delicious! Great place for a cozy dinner with friends or your spouse. Staff is friendly and accommodating.
I LOVE THIS PLACE. I mostly get the green curry or the green curry soup. The green curry soup is $11 for a large one and feeds 2 people. So worth the money. The taste is incredible!
Cute place, good food.. I've been here a few times now and i've never been disappointed yet. service is always very friendly. nice quiet and cozy atmosphere. the presentation is nice, and the serving sizes are fair.
i find the menu is a little short but there is still a fair amount of options. another great thing is that with almost every dish you get to choose between tofu, chicken, shrimp or beef. so its like having 4 times as many menu options.
i've had about half the menu now and i haven't found anything i didnt like. love the crab rangoon, love the mango salad, love the crispy noodles. the dishes are big enough to share for two, and small enough to finish on your own (if you only get one or two that is for yourself.) i think it'd be a really nice place for a date!
oh and did i mention its very affordable? :)
its like a piece little thai comfort food.
Great atmosphere and food. Cold spring rolls are excellent. The entrees we selected were all good as well although the duck is a bit fatty and difficult to eat due to bones. Service was pleasant but we ordered a bottle of wine and were surprised when it was opened before getting to the table, no taster was offered and the wine was not poured for us. Still, great night and would definetly go back.
Had a very nice quiet meal here on a Friday night. Drinks and meal were great
Good food, great price. Ate at Sabai Thai for the first time and was happy with the meal. Tom Yum Goong (Hot & Sour soup w/ shrimp) was good although it had more vegetables than I am used to. We had both the green curry and yellow pineapple curry. Both tasted excellent, although the green curry could have been spicier.
A meal for two with drinks and appetizers came to approximately $50. Restaurant was clean and the staff friendly. Would recommend to anyone looking for authentic Thai food in a nice setting.
Yum. I love this Restaurant. The menu is fairly small but the food is fantastic. The Matsaman Curry is my favorite and one of the best I have had. My mother can't get enough of the Tom Kah Soup and the drunken noodles are really good.
Indeed will return!. My good friend who practices at the yoga studio next door has wanted to try this restaurant for a while but I kept putting her off UNTIL...I heard that the chef here is the son of the proprietors of Magic Thailand (my favourite Thai place) and that he does a bit of a modern twist on Thai food. So last night we picked up some food to go on our way to Ballet in the Park. We ordered the Som Tum (green papaya) salad and the green coconut curry with chicken. I realized after I placed my phone order that they had not asked my spiciness preference so when we picked up the food I asked (as I like my food quite spicy) if we would need hot sauce and was told no. The food was DELICIOUS!!! The lime flavour from the salad was a perfect compliment to the rich curry. The spiciness was of a decent level to enhance the flavours in both dishes. The restaurant itself had cozy looking boothes which I will be returning to for a dine in experience and to sample some of the other dishes on the menu which look interesting!
Sabai Thai. I love the Papaya salad...but watch out, it's spicy!
Travlled North America for 15 years speaking in all major cities. This is nest Thai Food I've had in North America. Clean, strong food. Great owners. Every dish you can get with tofu. VERY VEGAN FRIENDLY. Try 'sweet chilli slaw', all the soups.
Excellent night out. Thai salmon ceviche is to die for! Nice interior and excellent service. Will be going back!
Curry from Heaven. Yeah mccalves doesn't know what he is talking about...but the curry there is probably some of the best I've had. I honestly would say it is better than the East India Company, which yes, I know they are completely different but when it came to the curry...WOW...BRAVO for this place. It's interior is quite welcoming and well done too. Good stuff.
We had the crab Rangoon and pad Thai. Fantastic! And the atmosphere is great too.

This was awesome. We got the papaya salad which was perfect. The tofu pad Thai had the right flavors and the koi soi wasn’t out favorite but made us realize we are going often. The service was good and they are open for lunch
Absolutely fantastic food!! Cannot recommend enough, came here for the first time yesterday and had the spring rolls, golden triangle stir fry, and green curry soup. Possibly the best food I have had in my life, the green curry soup especially is to die for! I will definitely be coming back, if you are considering this place just go for it, you won't have any regrets!
We've been here 4 times this month. The food is amazing! Small family owned restaurant with some amazing food that has been consistently amazing. Prices well. Portions are generous. And the food dishes taste different from one another. Amazing.
Delicious food at very good prices. I've never had a meal here that falls to impress. Almost every dish has both meat and tofu options, which gives lots of options for both carnivores and vegetarians.
So happy it is open for lunch again. We had the summer rolls....so good. I had red curry and my boyfriend had the mushroom curry...excellent!!! We missed going here. Love it!!!
We have been to many Thai restaurants in the city, and have to say this is the best one! The only place where the chicken pad thai is made perfect, where its not flooded with so much sauce...just the best!! Anyway, great quality ingredients go into the food they make. My husband and I are always so happy after every meal.The Masamman Yellow Curry is so good. OMG the best!!
