SAI JAI THAI IS PA SAI’S CREATION. WHILE MAE CHENG IS BRINGING YOU AUTHENTIC THAI COMFORT WITH A MOTHER’S TOUCH.

Welcome to Sai Jai Thai Restaurant, a cozy haven for authentic Thai food in the heart of San Francisco. Founded in 1997 by PA SAI (Auntie Susan), who has been creating culinary magic for decades, our dishes carry the homemade touch—much like the love-filled meals from a mother's kitchen. Today, Mae Cheng carries on this legacy, infusing every dish with her love and dedication, ensuring Sai Jai remains a symbol of authentic Thai comfort. As a family-owned and women-owned small business, we've been a hole-in-the-wall favorite for locals seeking comfort in every bite. Now, we're opening our doors to a new generation of foodies hungry for bold, flavorful, and authentic Thai cuisine, prepared with the heart and tradition of Mae Cheng and PA SAI.

Our menu includes a variety of regional specialties: the rich and spicy flavors of Northeastern Thailand to the hearty dishes of Northern Thailand and the balanced spices of Central Thailand. We proudly use fresh, local, and imported ingredients.

Each bite is a celebration of food and the desire to create a welcoming space where friends, families, and food enthusiasts alike can come together to savor the unique fusion of flavors that defines the restaurant.

Join us on this flavorful journey, where you're not just our guest—you’re part of our extended family. Whether you're a longtime regular or discovering us for the first time, Sai Jai Thai promises an unforgettable taste of Thailand's comforting, homemade flavors. We hope to see you soon.
