Excellent food rivaling anything in the metro area & beyond!

I have eaten at Sai Mai several times a month since it opened and it is the ONLY restaurant in Bothell that I frequent. The owners pride themselves on friendly, attentive and expeditious service. The food is fabulous. I have lived in and traveled to many different cities and eaten lots of Thai food in my life but nothing compares to Sai Mai. The dishes always contain the freshest of ingredients, prepared with great care and skill and are always delivered nice and hot. The usuals are on the menu.... pad thai and satay, for example.... but there are so many wonderful and healthy creative dishes like three plus one. And Mu makes the best cocktails! I am salivating just thinking about the cilantro mojito that he makes. You must go to Sai Mai. They are worth a trip to the East side if you don't live there and should be a regular haunt if, in fact, you do. I usually go to Belltown and Capitol Hill for good food but Sai Mai is the exception!
- Pros: Delicious, fresh and healthy ingredients perfectly prepared
- Cons: None

Great food, nice atmosphere, slower service

My husband and I went here last Friday night for the first time. We were seated and given menus as soon as we walked in, but it was quite awhile before our drink order was taken and then longer before our food order was taken. We ordered the sweet potato fries to start off with and they were salted and served w/a sweet chilli sauce. They were tasty! For my entree I ordered the pad see-iew with vegetables, no meat/tofu by request It was hot upon receiving and tasted wonderful! My husband got the pad kee mao with chicken that he also really liked. We both left full. The decor was nice, candle-lit atmosphere, and they had even decorated for Halloween(good/bad). Looks much nicer than you'd think from the outside of the building!
- Pros: lunch specials, good thai food
- Cons: slower service

This Bothell neighborhood restaurant is a gem!

From the minute you walk in, you will notice something special about Sai Mai. This space which has been so thoughtfully created is overflowing with ambience, and it carries down to the most minute detail. This restaurant is such a delight each time I frequent it. The food is excellent, plated beautifully, and served in just the right amount. Every dish I have tasted has been excellent, and the chef is happy to tweak it for you if need be. The service is excellent providing just the right amount of attention. I must go there more frequently, they never disappoint. You need to go there today! Try it for lunch or dinner.
- Pros: Ambience, Food, Service, Value. The moment you walk in, you will be intrigued.
- Cons: Never mind the worn buildings behind this fine restaurant.
