Sabbai Express

Sabbai Express is a Thai restaurant at 920 E Lake St Ste 114 in Minneapolis, MN, where diners can find Thai dishes and bubble tea at Midtown Global Market. Customer experiences point to a menu with familiar favorites such as pad thai, drunken noodles, and tom yum, alongside drinks with boba. The location can suit a casual meal while visiting the market, a quick stop for lunch, or food to take home. One reviewer especially enjoys ordering mock duck pad thai, while another describes sharing tom yum and bubble tea with a friend. These accounts offer a useful sense of the choices customers mention without suggesting that every visit or dish will be the same.

Pad thai is one of the restaurant’s most discussed dishes, and feedback varies. Some customers praise its flavor and say the serving can leave enough for leftovers; one reviewer’s preferred order is mock duck with spice level 5. Other diners have been disappointed with the portion, ingredients, or noodles, and one specifically expected traditional Thai rice noodles. If you have particular preferences about noodles, vegetables, protein, or spice, it may be helpful to confirm what is available and how a dish is prepared when ordering. The reviews also suggest that spice can be substantial: a customer cautions that the restaurant’s heat may reflect Asian spice levels. Consider choosing a level that matches your comfort, especially if you are sensitive to chili.

Tom yum and bubble tea also stand out in customer comments. One visitor found the soup flavorful and especially generous in size, describing it as enough for more than one meal, and enjoyed the boba’s flavor. By contrast, a reviewer found the drunken noodles bland, and other comments raise concerns about food quality and value. That mix of praise and criticism is worth keeping in mind when deciding what to order. Bubble tea may appeal if you are stopping in for a drink, while the soup has received an enthusiastic mention from at least one customer. Overall, the available feedback is mixed, so expectations and individual tastes may shape the experience.

Sabbai Express is open Monday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Its Minneapolis address places it inside Midtown Global Market, making it a practical option for market visitors, nearby diners, and people looking for a casual Thai meal or drink. The business has a 3.9-star rating from 60 reviews, with comments reflecting both repeat enthusiasm and notable disappointments. For a first visit, you might consider a customer-mentioned favorite such as mock duck pad thai, ask about spice and ingredients, or try bubble tea or tom yum. These details can help you make an informed choice while leaving room to find the dishes and flavors you enjoy most.
