In all fairness they were properly staffed for the low dine-in patrons and high take out and delivery orders

My new location for Bubble tea and Smoothies. I always order Curry and rice boxes. Now they only do self-service dine in and it was ok for a quick lunch and dinner.

Order online but you can eat there! Massaman curry was great. Download the app for $5 off your first meal:)

Sai Mai is a fantastic spot for fresh and delicious Thai food. I live nearby so I order online and walk over to pick it up, but they also offer delivery and counter service. They’re always very nice and polite. Their website is easy to use for ordering and offers points/rewards.

The food was great and the portions were extremely generous (I had lots of leftovers), and the people working there were extremely kind.

Not much seating, but the curry was well worth the wait. Great flavor! The guy taking orders went well out of his way to get chairs and make sure we had what we needed, even though the place is intended to be takeout only. Thanks!!

Food was delicious and fresh. Some of the best Thai in the city and you could tell it was packed with care.

I ordered Basil Fried Rice and Pepper Steak , the rice was perfect very good, the pepper steak could have used just a hint of spicy but it was still good

Delish Thai food! Been looking for a new takeout spot and this hit the spot. Ordered 4 different things and everything was delicious. Recommend the chicken basil dish and the pork egg rolls especially. Will be coming back!
