This dining destination is brought to life by the same group behind the Brazilian-Japanese concept Uma Nota including a team of five Thai chefs, including Chef Tob, all invited directly from Thailand to deliver dishes true to their roots.
Sabai’s name perfectly captures its essence, blending the sound-alike Tagalog word “Sabay” (together) and the Thai word “Sabai” (comfortable, relaxed), serving as a place where people can come together to enjoy a meal in an atmosphere that feels easy, inviting, and warm.
