Sabieng Thai Cuisine, Santa Cruz CA

Decent Thai food. Be sure to order "medium" hot or it will be pretty bland. The Pad Pik King (dry red chili sauce on meat of choice with green beans and other veggies) was pretty good.

Pretty tasty & vegan friendly! Enjoyed the Tom kha soup with tofu & vegetables, and the pad kee mao with tofu. Also able to remove egg from other dishes to make them vegan. Really good service too! Filled up their tables quickly after opening, even on a Monday evening

I had a pleasant experience here, however it was not everything I expected it to be for a thai cuisine. The service and staff workers were amazing. The food, not so much. For the amount of price, they only serve small proportions. And the thai food was more americanized here. I dot not recommend for those who want authentic thai food.

This is my staple go-to place to go as a vegan/vegetarian. It’s always a satisfying meal. I’ve tried their curries, Pad Thai, and more. My go to is Tofu Pad Se Ew!

I’ve only gotten take out from this restaurant but the staff are always friendly!

Food was high quality. The low prices reflect the smaller, appropriately sized portions. The only complaint was that the spice level and flavors were low for what I would expect from Thai cooking. It was a little americanized that way low on the fish sauce and spice high on the sugar and cornstarch. It was really good though. I'm just nit picking!

Great food. Loved it We ordered Thai iced tea, green curry and fried rice with tofu and asked them to make it vegetarian. Amazing taste, friendly service. Sticky mango fried rice was cherry on the cake.

Would love to try out this place but every time I try there’s an issue; this time I got there at 8: 32 and they refused to seat us. Offered to pay and order right away and he all said no. Looking around at people who only had drinks and large parties who were clearly talking their time … So yea 1 star.

First time visit for a take out. The portions were about medium and the price was fair at around 13-14 for each noodle item (drunken noodle and pad see ew). The taste was decent and the pice level was on point what was requested. They did forget to pack utensils or napkins for our take out. So perhaps be sure to request when picking up instead of assuming they’ll be included.

This is where I’ll come for sit-down Thai on the west side, no question! Great portions, variety on the menu, and pricing is very reasonable. Very nice staff as well.

The fried rice, noodles and appetizers are fine. I was only a bit disappointed with the duck curry. The duck meat was extremely salted which made me wonder if it was direct from fresh meat or canned.

A friend got the pad thai here and out of at least 10 thai food restaurants in Santa Cruz county and even Santa Clara county - it’s the best tasting pad thai! We highly recommend. Thx Sabieng!

The wonton soup was OK, the pad see ew, crystal noodles, shrimp fried rice was fair, I came with my husband, my mom, my 9 year old and my 17 months. Since we were 5, they charge us an automatic 18% gratuity (about 19 dollars) on our bill. We were disappointed on this and surprised of this charge. We went to dine in front of the beach but never get charge of this.so warning to everyone, I'll try other thai food around and see if this charge is the same, and hoping for a better food.

Have ALWAYS enjoyed their food! Usual get to go as it can get loud inside and is usually busy during times I have gone. They have yet to mess up an order in my 10+ years of ordering and I most definitely recommend when suggesting places to eat.

Sabieng Thai Cuisine is another Santa Cruz favorite. I used to come here all the time when I lived on this side of town. Had forgotten about it till I came here again the other day. The owners are amazing hardworking people that make some amazing food!

Tom Yum Koong soup was fantastic and flavorful. Pineapple fried rice was also extra delicious and had shrimp and prawns.

Tried the Thai iced tea for the first time. It was awesome and had an iced Thai coffee to go. Everything was amazing, and the service is everything!

We have been regulars at this place for a decade so I thought it was time for me to write a review. We must have eaten here hundreds of times. We celebrated my daughter's graduations from elementary and middle school at this restaurant. We eat here or get take-out almost weekly. The food is delicious and the staff are so nice. While we are all staying home during these COVID19 times, we hope that everyone will support Sabieng.

We arrived at this place for dinner.we heard about this place from many people. Well, we were not disappointed. The staff members welcomed us with a smile and we felt fantastic. The meal was yummy. We enjoyed every moment and we will definitely return to this restaurant. We recommend this place to all.

I love Sabieng but I'm gluten free and have had difficulty getting food that has no gluten containing sauces added to it. Would tred carefully for GF folks unless you don't mind the gluten reaction. If you're not gluten free you'll probably like the food.

Surely a place worth trying, the food is excellent and well prepared, the prices are affordable and it is consistently well organized here. Keep up the good work.

My preferred spot for quality thai food. The staff was very friendly and kind. Bring your appetite because portions are filling.
