About

The Original Sab-E-Lee brings authentic Thai cooking to the Rancho Penasquitos neighborhood of northeastern San Diego. The menu is rooted in traditional flavors, with dishes like spicy pad Thai and Penang curry drawing consistent praise from regulars. The Penang curry, made with creamy coconut milk and bold spice, is a standout worth ordering. Portions are generous and well-suited to family-style sharing, so the restaurant works nicely for group gatherings and family meals. Vegan and vegetarian options are available, and outdoor seating adds a relaxed, casual energy to the experience.
