What makes dining with us feel rewarding

Certification with meaning

Thai SELECT shows our food meets recognised standards for authenticity and Thai culture.

Food cooked as ordered

Cooking on the premises helps your meal arrive fresh, hot and matched to your needs.

Space for different occasions

A quick lunch, pre-show meal or group dinner all feel well placed in our 48-seat room.

A proper sit-down meal with Thai roots

If you want more than a quick plate before moving on, we make dining in feel worth the time. At Sabai Thai, we cook traditional, home-cooked recipes on the premises and build flavour through the aromatic, sweet, sour, salty and spicy balance people look for in real Thai food. Gina's Chiang Mai heritage shapes the way we cook, so the food feels grounded rather than generic. You can settle in for a full meal, choose something lighter, or start with dishes to share, knowing everything is prepared to order and discussed properly if you have dietary needs.

Choose the pace and style of your meal

Some visits call for a long, easy dinner. Others need lunch before a show, drinks with small plates, or a table that suits a mixed group. A meal at Sabai Thai can flex around that. We keep a 48-seat dining room, serve dishes from our main menu alongside signature specials, house recommendations, drinks and cocktails, and talk through dietary requirements before we cook. That means you can choose a complete sit-down meal or a lighter combination that fits your appetite, timing and occasion.

Frequently asked questions

What does Thai SELECT mean for our meal?

Thai SELECT is a certification that recognises authentic Thai cuisine, consistent quality standards and commitment to Thai culture. For you, that means a meal shaped by real Thai cooking rather than a watered-down version, with dishes prepared carefully on our premises.

Can we choose a lighter meal instead of a full dinner?

Yes. You might want a complete sit-down meal, a few lighter dishes, or food to share alongside drinks. We help you choose around appetite, occasion and timing, so you do not need to commit to more than suits the moment.

Should we mention allergies before dining in?

Yes, please tell us about allergies, intolerances and dietary requirements before we order your meal into the kitchen. We cater for vegan and vegetarian diets, coeliacs, gluten-free needs and peanut allergies, and early notice helps us guide you clearly.
