First time at this location, I’ve only been to the Linda Vista location. I’ve had many of the dishes at Sab-E-Lee. It’s funny because when my finance and I sat down the table right next to us said “the Linda vista location is better!” I didn’t want this to deter us. Plus I’ve been craving Thai food! Don’t forget cash only!

The food tastes pretty good. The service was mediocre to bad. No one checked us in the meal and the waitress had a stone face.

A clean and cozy small restaurant. The servers are friendly and thoughtful. The food is good and the price is reasonable. I take out a star because I think the entrees should have come with rice.

We really enjoyed the Panang Curry with fried tofu and chicken. Highly recommend that dish! Service was exceptional, as the waitresses attentively refilled our drinks and checked in on us.

Yum! Decided on Thai for lunch and this didn’t disappoint! I only wish they had some type of lunch combo which they didn’t offer, so ordered American broccoli (choice of Chinese broccoli too) with tofu and ordered a side of rice. They informed me spicy level 3 is medium and I went and ordered spicy level 8, that didn’t disappoint!!! Their spice game is good!!!

Their food was good and spicy. I normally order a Level 8 at other Thai restaurants. I ordered a tofu Drunken Noodle level 6 here and it sure had a kick so take that into account when ordering. I was told that Medium is Level 3. Lol.

What happened to you Sab-E-Lee??? Where did your magic go??? This used to be my favorite Thai restaurant in SoCal when I was in college a few years ago but it seems like they’ve slightly regressed. I had always gotten the pad-see-ew and tom yum soup but there was just something off about both of the dishes and it tasted average at best. Hopefully they can revamp their dishes b/c I would love to see them do well. The one great thing about these dishes is that the portions were huge. You could definitely split three dishes between four people and leave satisfied.

You guy’s need to fix the menu prices on your website!!! I order curry puff not like $8.50. they charge 11.34. I was told there was no dessert today either. Only they say we don’t have dessert or boba every time I go.The take out food came in a small box, no forks or chopsticks, and one female employee was rude.

Everything is great. Unfortunately you loose a star because they force you to tip on to go orders. There isn’t a no tip option. I understand if someone is waiting on me and cleans up my kids mess. But on to go orders. Nope

Please step it up Sab-E-Lee! Your entrees portions are smaller compared to past years. Less food, higher prices. One of my favs was the Chicken Pad Thai, last few orders were mush due to over cooked noodles. A bigger disappointment is to find only 3 bite size pieces of chicken in the entire entree. The Orange Chicken entree measured barely a cup, and contained more sauce than expected. New entree portions no longer feed two people comfortably. I sincerely want to continue supporting this restaurant, but feel it’s no longer cost effective.
