Sabieng Thai Cuisine

Sabieng Thai Cuisine is a fantastic spot in Santa Cruz if you’re looking for authentic Thai food. The restaurant stands out for its warm, welcoming atmosphere and a staff that makes you feel right at home. Every dish I’ve tried here has been fresh, flavorful, and true to traditional Thai recipes. One of the standout dishes for me is the Samsahai, a perfectly balanced dish that’s rich in flavor and texture. The Yum Woon Sen is another favorite—light, tangy, and refreshing, with just the right amount of heat. And, of course, the Somtum (green papaya salad) is a must-try! It captures the essence of Thai cuisine with its combination of spicy, sour, and savory flavors. If you’re craving authentic Thai food in Santa Cruz, Sabieng Thai Cuisine is a top choice. Whether you’re a fan of Thai classics or looking to try something new, this place won’t disappoint.

For all the times I have been here and absolutely enjoyed every meal..I am shocked I have not done a review before now. They always provide wonderful service, great quality food, and a clean environment! This time, I had the mango fried tilapia (I will say the fish seemed more like pollack because if it's meaty texture, which I enjoyed) and was divine. The mango was perfectly ripe and juicy. The fried banana did not taste like a banana but had the look and texture of banana. (Tasted more like plantain, and I was glad as I am not a huge fan of banana flavor) Parking can be a bit challenging on occasion, but it is worth figuring it out.

I have drove by this restaurant so many times and never gave it a chance. My son requested Thai food for take out. Ordered take out because it was close to home. I’ve had Thai food many times and I can safely say this restaurant delivers. I ordered my usual favorites and they nailed it. The pad prik king was perfect and the spicy heat was just above comfort zone which is perfect. I will definitely be coming back. Noodles and fried rice was excellent.

Had a wonderful time at Sabieng Thai! Food was authentic and phenomenal. Was better than a lot of other places! The spicy thai fried rice was exquisite! Must-go!

We got in right as they opened up just in time. They got our orders and even saved us some money with reccomending not getting too much rice. Great and courteous service!! Usually pad thai is too soft or flavor isn't that good in other places. This restaurant got it spot on. Food was good, prices are lower spectrum of bay area restaurants. Hole in the wall place, nothing fancy. Please don't mind thr pictures as they were in the middle of being demolished.

Killer Thai food. Glad we found this place while visiting. Ordered Spring Rolls (Po Piah Sod). So fresh and wonderful dipping sauce. Tom Yum Koong Soup with tofu. Savory and spicy. A meal in itself (bowl). Mango Fish - Deep fried filet of tilapia topped with panang curry, sweet basil, green beans, carrots, zucchini, peas and fresh ripe mango with brown rice. Unbelievable! There was so much food that two of us couldn't finish it. All at a very reasonable price. Can't wait to go back!

We went for a birthday dinner for my nephew. Food ordered included Pad Thai, drunken noodles, chicken satay, tom yum soup, yellow curry, basil fried rice, boba Thai Ice tea. Everything was delicious. Great service.highly recommend

I love love love this place, have been going here for a long time. Delicious food and everyone is so nice. A few days ago though, I ordered takeout pineapple fried rice, and when I opened it, 25% of my to-go container was EMPTY! $20 for veggie fried rice, and the container wasn't even full. Super sad about this experience and will not be ordering takeout from here again.
