Sabaijai (Original)

Sabaijai (Original) is the old-school Isaan spot on Sukhumvit Soi 63 (Ekkamai), walkable from BTS Ekkamai. The charcoal grill out front sets the tone—order gai yang (grilled chicken), som tam, sticky rice, and pork neck, then add a cold beer. Dishes land fast and you can dial the heat up or down. Open-air, no-frills, and great for groups before a night out in Ekkamai. Expect straightforward pricing, big flavors, and a mix of Bangkok office crews and clued-up travelers. Aim for early evening to snag a street-side table.
