The Original Sab-E-Lee

Conveniently located next to Vons. Pad Thai was very good! Definitely returning. I normally avoid adding protein to see how I'm going to like it. I decided to do Chicken Pad Thai and I was glad it didnt have any fishy taste! It was a good size plate for one. I also added fried tofu and it was perfection. After reading the reviews I ordered a level 2 and didn't find it spicy. I asked for extra chili and they brought their 4 tray of chili oil and spices. The waitress checked on me to see if I was enjoying my meal or if I needed anything else. The ingredients seemed fresh including the peanuts. When they bring you the check, you're expected to pay the cashier. Cash or card accepted ; however, they limit 2 cards per transaction per their sign. Next time I'm going for a level 3 and see if I can work my way up on the spice level!

I went there on Sunday by myself since i would like to try Thai food at this restaurant because whenever i go to wonderful sushi which is next few steps away, this spot is always busy. Finally I ordered thuam yum soup which is one of my favorite Thai food. A server asked what level of spicy I want for this soup, I said medium spicy which is level 3 I found after talking with another server during my complaint of food being too spicy. Anyway, food was ok and very large, but I skim most of spicy part of soup off and put them on my plate. It is ok to be trying spicy food as long as you are expecting it. But when you order the food there is expectation on the taste of the dish being served because you have tried the same food before. But with this kind of spicy level, there should be more detail explanation and at least warning post on the table since I almost got my stomach burned and upset after the first taste. Also I requested rice to smooth the taste but server forgot and had to tell again although they must see me remove the spicy part and struggle to eat.

Best Thai place in San Diego , took drunken nooodles , the staff are hospitable Edit 1: 1/16/24 This place has gone down , the staff are rude expect tips for getting in wrong orders. For a non meat eater , I was served eggs and the waiter (man in his mid 20s) didn’t even regret Once my favorite place is not anymore

Best Thai food in San Diego. Not even close

Loved the Green curry and panang curry with rice. Absolutely delicious.

Food was delicious, great service

Charge a 20% service fee for large groups with tip being suggested on top, despite their menu showing a different fee. Beef was cooked poorly, rest of vegetables were okay.

The spicy raw shrimp is fresh and authentic. Duck noodle is a must try. Rare finds!

Good Thai food that was very fresh with attentive service.

Our whole family loves Sab-E-Lee. When we come in town my daughter says we must go.
