Sabai Thai Gastrobar

Heard some good things about this place so thought we would check it out.

Nice looking and friendly staff but service is slow and food is below par.

Nice to sit our side in summer, its a shame they do not have many seats there. It would make a good bar but the food quality lets it down a bit as a restaurant.

Very nice place with a few seats outside. The interior makes you feel like you are in an expensive restaurant in Thailand but prices are good and the staff are very friendly.

We ate on a busy Saturday and unfortunately service was very slow.

Sea Bass was very good but both our stir fries were too salty and had to be sent back.

The most attraction of Sabai is the style of service that all the staffs always pay attention and prompt to response to all requests.

I really enjoy the home made dumplings and coconut prawns .Actually , the tamarine duck is fantastic and it's my favourite one. I'd like recommended this restaurant to anyone who aren't like Thai food only but also the relax atmosphere.

Probably the poorest Thai meal I've eaten in Brighton. Chiang Mai curry just way too sweet (tasted of nothing else), Meat tough and chewy. Dumplings had incredibly dry filling. Service just about OK. Disappointing.

Lovely looking place that has had a lot of time and attention spent on it. Staff are good too and very attentive.

Unfortunately though it's all about the food - ours was very salty and oily. There is certainly better in Brighton but after a few Singhas to get rid of the salty taste we still had a good night.

We visited Sabai the other day and were very impressed with the food and the place itself. The food tastes fresh and authentic the service is attentive and the Thai decor is great. My advice is get yourself seat on the raised platform at the back and treat yourself to a northern jungle curry and a chang.

Thai Pavillion is now under new management and has been re-opened as Sabai. We popped in for lunch and I feel Imust let everyone know what an absolute gem of a place ths is. The new decor is simply outstanding. Close your eye's and listen to the soft sound of the water feature and you could easily be whisked away to Thailand! There is a delightful"raised area" where you can chill out and just have a drink and soak up the "Thai" laid back atmosphere. The food is the simply the best tasting Thai food that you will find in Brighton, the blend of spices will leave you begging for more.

The aim of the place is to combine a relaxing bar to chill out with friends where you can enjoy all the delights of a top class restaurant to indulge your taste buds if you so wish!

So do your self a favour, get down to this beautiful "Thai Gastro Bar" as soon as you can, I guarantee you that you'll soon be a regular!
