Really good sticky rice. The mango was a lil dry to my liking but the rice made up for it.

I mean the food is good, got the yellow curry which I was happy about but the portion sizes are very small for the price. This was over $17. This was the lunch special.

I recently dined at Sa-By Thai and while the food was good overall, I have to say that it fell a bit short of my expectations. The basil fried rice was delicious and flavorful, but unfortunately, the other dishes we tried were lacking in taste. The flavors seemed a bit bland and underwhelming. However, I must say that the service was excellent and the ambiance of the restaurant was lovely. Overall, I would say that Sa-By Thai is a decent option for Thai cuisine, but there are definitely better options out there. I hope they make their dishes better in future.

Went with a party of friends on a Saturday night Drove from out of town, walked in 927 pm. There were no customers when we walked in we sat down to dine in but waiter/host told us only Togo. We say we google and it’s said closing is at 1030pm. I was what time is last sitting for dine in he said 10pm. I said it’s only 930. He said oh well. Poor business management.

Amazing tasting food! Been going to this place for over 10 years now (preciously located on the 2nd street.) Love the green curry, yellow curry, roti, fried chicken... so much more!
It’s pretty good in my opinion but not super great. Mainly because it’s clear the THAI B.B.Q CHICKEN was pre cooked and reheated. Parts of the chicken were cold. Other users were overcooked and dry. The papaya salad was good but the sticky rice tasted like regular rice. Doesn’t that usually have coconut or simmering?However, the GOONG GA BAWG was very good! It’s like a shrimp rolled up in an egg roll skin. Lastly, the Penang curry was pretty good.

Chanced upon this hole in the wall kind of restaurant across from SJSU campus, craving for some good Thai food. We ordered Thai Iced Tea, Fried Chicken over Fried Rice, Vegetarian Egg Rolls and the Lamb Curry Speciality all for $59, including a $2 extra for using Amex credit card. Lots of piping hot food, well plated and served by a sweet hostess. If not for the inside run down decor, this restaurant is worth every penny. Like they say, don’t judge a book by it’s cover…food here tastes pretty awesome if you come in hungry!

A small Thai take-away/restaurant near SJSU.The staff are very friendly and took my order quickly. I had Chicken Satay to start followed by the Beef Massaman set.The food was served in around 10/15 minutes whilst I had a beer at the table.The Satay was tasty, but a little dry/tough. The beef was similar, but the sauce was great. They served it with white sticky rice and Roti, which I found a little odd being an Indian bread - but they were cooked to perfection and the best part of the meal! Flaky and buttery, just like they should be!

Came here for lunch on Friday, 5/19/23. The place was small for mostly for take-out. There were few tables for sit in also, and no restroom for guests. We (3 adults) were the only ones that ate there during lunch hour. Here are my ratings for each dish that we ordered.1/Papaya salad(Thai style): good. Sweet, sour dressing with crunchy papaya and few raw green beans. However, they used lemon juice instead of lime juice.2/ Pak Ke Mao with chicken: just ok. The meat was tender but the dish was lack of flavor not like other Thai restaurants in SJ and also in Bangkok3/ Chicken and Shrimps stir-fried with mango and bell peppers: just so so. This dish did not have much flavor. It was kind of bland. They brough out the sticky rice for this dish in a foil, not in a little bamboo basket as I was expected. Few minutes later, the sticky rice was cold and dried.We waited about 20 minutes to get our food. Our bill was a little over $40 dollars Overall, our lunch had nothing to wow about. One time is enough.
