The Original Sab-e-lee

This will be our go-to for Thai, thanks to reddit /SanDiegan for the suggestion. A note about spice levels- spice level 3 is considered medium, red curry was delicious but I will go with 1 or 2 next time! (Waiter suggested 3 when we ordered 5, good recommendation). Yes I am a wimp. We also ordered drunken noodles level 5, honestly didn't seem any hotter. I didn't try the seafood salad, level 7...it looked scary though.. We had enough leftover to take away for another meal. We will be back!

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!!!

So amazing！ Food there reminds me of the days I traveled in Thailand！ really authentic Thai cuisine. Spicy naked shrimps and Tom yum soup are fantastic！The prices are fair. The ice tea is too sweet..I definitely will visit again！！BTW, their chili papers are very spicy！I felt like my ears are smoking after eating shrimps whose spicy level is ONLY THREE！(still I like it！！)

This is my favorite Thai restaurant in SD. I knew about this spot over 7 years ago when they were at their tiny old location. The food here is still really good but their prices are more than other comparable places. For example, steamed rice is not included. And the portion size is meant for 1 person so it's on the smaller size. Especially the size of their larb plates. I am used to having leftovers when I order multiple items for that price range. And I do know of some places with just as good Thai Issan or Lao spots locally. I mainly came here to try specific items on their menu. I don't know what happened but I guess rent increase at their new spot is why portion size seems smaller. Food is still really good. Interior decoration needs some improvement or upgrades though.
