Sabaidee Sushi & Thai

I went to Sabaidee with some coworkers for lunch today. We were all thoroughly impressed. We were greeted by an extremely friendly and attentive host, who was also our table server. Each of us received a bowl of delicious miso soup, even before we had ordered our meals. I ordered the massaman curry with tofu, and it was just perfect! All of us remarked at how rich and flavorful our meals were. This was a delightful surprise for us, and we will definitely be back to enjoy more of the wonderful flavors they have to offer. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Who was living in a small house that making with bamboo and make a roof with long leafs? This place will make you like your hometown and will bring you a lot of memory. So bring your friends, families and your lovely kids to share your hometown story with them. Beautiful place and very friendly. The foods are the best. I love beef salad and card basil so far.

This place makes fantastic Thai food I’ve tried some other places in Albany around center square and they were not nearly as good as here. I had their Panang Curry. Seasoning was perfect, quality was excellent and portion size is great too!! They are not currently doing sushi they said they may have it again in January, but when they did it was amazing some of the best I’ve had and I’m a fan of sushi.

Now that this restaurant has been open for about six months, I thought I'd stop in for an early weekend dinner, now that I'd heard they have some sushi on the menu. First, the bad news: no seating at sushi bar (photo). The space for bar seating is instead used to cram in 19 tables. Luckily, there was only one other patron in the restaurant during my visit, and we both sat on the long wooden bench against one wall. I don't want to imagine how "cozy" this atmosphere would be, if only half of the tables were occupied. I don't think they have their liquor license yet, so at least there won't be drunk guests spilling over each other on the tablecloths and napkins. I looked through the menu as the host/ server/ chef/ brought over tea-bag tea. Although disappointed by the very limited nigiri selection, I was able to order my usual introduction of a couple of maki and a handful of nigiri, despite a mix-up in the initial order, where I hoped to try the temaki. While waiting, I looked around at the Thai decor - a little kitsch, but not overdone. The chef, dressed in sweat pants and a white t-shirt with a couple of stains, brought out a thin miso soup, strangely created without adding any tofu. I found the chef with an overly enthusiastic personality, but uneven sushi presentation (photo). The two-plate plating, with a little decoration was not unattractive. The rice itself was very lightly seasoned, much less then I prefer. The maki was not bad, and with 10 pieces each for the eel cucumber and the spicy salmon cucumber avocado, it seemed a bit too much. Unfortunately, the salmon maki was covered in a mayo sauce, which I have never really enjoyed. Personal preference. The nigiri, was a bit sloppier. The gunkenmaki masago ended up with roe all over the plate. I have found unagi usually is prepared with a small strip of nori wrapped around the eel on top of the rice, but not here. The strangest was the hamachi - one of the pieces was actually tough to chew. The taste was not bad, but that is a most unique texture. I don't think I want to repeat that. I hope they can improve, and I'll return in a bit. 2019 07 06. S08.
