" I heard so much about their fried rice and went in with incredibly high expectations. The seasoning was off, and it lacked the depth I was hoping for, leaving me a bit disappointed. However, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the servers were attentive, which I appreciated. I’ll probably return to try their highly recommended dishes that others rave about! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you find yourself in the Tenderloin, stop by Sai Jai Thai! As someone who's traveled extensively through Thailand, I can vouch for the authenticity of the flavors. The green curry is exactly how I'd expect it to taste from a local restaurant in Thailand. Pair that with their mango sticky rice for dessert, and you've got a meal that evokes nostalgia for the streets of Bangkok. A must-visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Loved it! The atmosphere at Sai Jai Thai gives a real neighborhood feel. I’d never had traditional Thai like this before, and I was taken aback by how delightful everything tasted, especially the pork fried rice! The staff is super nice as well. A delightful culinary experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Their raving reviews about the BBQ pork really drew me here, and let me tell you, it was worth it! The flavor was incredible, and the accompanying fried rice complemented it perfectly. The only downside was the faint aroma from the outside, which can be a little off-putting. Still, don’t let that stop you from visiting! You will not regret it! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food was decent, it didn’t live up to the hype I had expected. The portions felt smaller than I remembered, although it was a busy night. I liked the green curry, but the fried rice didn’t impress. I might give it another chance since I've heard such great things about their signature dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn't too impressed by the food to be honest. The flavors didn't stand out, and I was expecting much better given its reputation. The pulpy, overcooked chicken wings were tasteless, and the atmosphere wasn’t the best either. I might try it again for their highly rated pork dishes but I’m not too eager. " (*Curated Review*)

" I walked in feeling a bit apprehensive due to the area, but man, was I pleasantly surprised! The food was absolutely delightful. The papaya salad was a perfect balance of flavors, and the fried rice was just right—not too oily or dry. The service was quick, and I left with a full belly! Would recommend this place to anyone looking for true Thai flavor! " (*Curated Review*)
