SAAO THAI & SUSHI

We love getting takeout sushi from here, but they also have great other food. I particularly like the lunch options. Great service

I took my daughter and her friends to this restaurant. It has a very clean and family-friendly environment. I'm not very familiar with Thai food and asked questions from the server for which I was not given enough answer and ordered somehow. The food was delicious but portion size, didn't match the price. The part that made me upset was that each of us spent about $25 and when one of us asked for a glass of soda refill, they charged us another glass for some $3 without even telling us that the refill will be charged. In full service restaurants, refill is mostly free considering that they fill half of the glass with ice. I spoke with the server but she insisted and her big smile had vanished! We won't go there again.

Hands down my favorite Thai and Sushi restaurant! For the last couple years, my boyfriend and I have been frequent diners at Saao. The variety of drinks are fun, especially my go-to, Peach on the Beach and the food is always consistent, flavorful, and fresh. Don't forget to leave room for dessert! I highly recommend the toasted coconut ice cream.
While the food speaks for itself, what makes Saao better than the rest is the service and hospitality. PK, Tiffany, Aye, and Andy make us feel like family. They are all warm, welcoming, friendly, and have made every single one of our dining experiences memorable. Whether we get a quick bite at the bar, dine in with family and friends, or pick up our order to go, Saao always exceeds our expectations.
A big shout out to PK, who we look forward to seeing every time and Andy, an exceptional sushi chef, who always delivers quality and innovative sushi.

The staff at Saoo is so kind and I have had great experiences when even just popping in to pickup takeout. Takeout is fast and they have a timer to estimate pickup if you don’t set a later time.

You can’t go wrong with any of the rolls. My go to is the Crunchy Spicy Tuna, but I also recommend the Hawaiian roll (if you like shrimp) or the Sweet Potato & Avocado Roll (toned down with no spice but solid flavors and pairs well with anything).

The Tom Yum soup is customizable with your choice of veggie or protein, and a range of spiciness you can choose from. My Tom Yum came with full mushrooms (likely shiitake) and lots of flavor. Chicken fits perfectly with the herbs and spices.

My pad see ew was ordered medium hot and what I got was super spicy like my mouth was on fire. Medium hot should have a slight kick with sweetness not where my mouth is burning and I can’t taste the sweetness. The burning is still ln my upper lip as I type this. This was HIGHLY disappointing.

So good that we ate there two days in a row. First day, the sushi was very good...angel roll, king dragon roll, Optimus prime roll..all great! The appetizer dumplings were excellent too.
Second day was Thai. Had to get the appetizer dumplings again and the Saao noodle with seafood was superb. The scallops, mussels, squid and shrimp were cooked perfectly and blended perfectly.with the noodles.and vegetables. Just the right amount of spicy. The service was perfect..friendly, attentive, and efficient. I rarely write restaurant reviews but the total.experience compelled me to thank them.

I got the beef Pad See Ew with extra beef and medium spice. This is by far the best Pad See Ew I’ve ever had in my life, and I’ve had many really good ones. From the flavor to the portion size, everything was absolutely perfect. This will now be my go-to Thai spot!
