Interestingly, in this day and time, in an ethnically diverse city to experience the subtle disregard for African American... diners is unsettling. Yet, I also read reviews that Sab-E-Lee may have off-putting mannerisms with others while taking folkshard earned money. First, there is a younger server with a snotty attitude that only takes your order, puts the food down andthen tries to force a tip. I pretty much was my own server because the purposeful ignoring was interesting to experience byseveral employees. Although I did observe favorable different interactions with other ethnicities. The waitress did everythingpossible subtlety to try to make us leave or act uncouthed. And I could have done either. But, I was pleased that my tweenexperienced this so she understands even if you are on your "A" game, bias still exists. And I've been eating at "the counter"of restaurants for many years and live right near this eatery. And the tofu drunken noodles are really good. And just as goodat other Thai eateries. I would recommend that you don't patronize this eatery because of the racial behavior, lack of decorum,and pushy behavior for tips. And so when I did tip because the food and hands that prepared the food is simply worthy of goodkarma, I elegantly let the rude young server know she was quite unfitting. But actually the four employees that were working onJune 23rd, 2022 between the hours of 800-900 pm were all unbecoming. Though they smiled graciously. Read more

Red thai curry with tofu and Panang curry is what we tried here. Loved every bit of it. Too Delicious!! We tried their pineapple... fried rice which is really good . Don?t take their spice levels casually! When they mention ?friendly warning?, they really meanit!! We ordered a spice level of 4 but later on felt 3 would have been better! Must try!! Highly recommend if in San Diego!! Ithas become our go to Thai restaurant in town . Read more
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 notincluded. And the portion size is meant for 1 person so it's on the smaller size. Especially the size of their larb plates. I amused to having leftovers when I order multiple items for that price range. And I do know of some places with just as good ThaiIssan or Lao spots locally. I mainly came here to try specific items on their menu. I don't know what happened but I guess rentincrease at their new spot is why portion size seems smaller. Food is still really good. Interior decoration needs someimprovement or upgrades though.

Food and service were great. Unfortunately, they sold out of mango sticky rice right before us. They give you little guava hard... candies after your meal which are a nice little treat. A bit confused about the name on here vs what?s on the building. Read more
