Best Thai / Laotian food in the kent valley by a mile. Denise is awesome, the food is awesome, they will custom make anything they have ingredients for at comparable price to menu items. I cant praise this restaurant highly enough.

There's a reason a massive regular crowd comes to this welcoming family restaurant. Food is delicious, staff is amazing, fast service, affordable lunch/dinner options, lots of seating, and again... the food is epic.

We decided to try Saya based on good reviews. We were not disappointed. It’s casual restaurant with Thai/Teriyaki/Pho. There’s no fancy decorations. Just straight forward food and service. We aimed for Thai this time. The pad Thai was decent. We enjoyed the green curry as well. The amount of rice which comes with the order was not much. Wish a bigger rice bowl is offered. The service was very courteous and friendly. We appreciate their flexibility to substitute certain ingredients. Updated review 6/25: This visit during lunch was very disappointing. Almost seems like it’s totally different ppl running the restaurant. Upon entering, there’s no one to greet us or seat us for a while. After seating, we couldn’t even get an eye contact for service for about 15 minutes. We almost gave up to go

Not a fancy restaurant by ANY means, but the food was really good and the folks who served us were really nice. Chicken karaage is the best I’ve ever had. The spicy karaage was an interesting twist on the former. Our server recommended the gai yang which was also outstanding. We also had their panang curry, which we felt would have been better if thicker - it was more like a soup than a tradition panang. Fresh rolls were pretty standard fair.

This place is the real deal. Thai restaurants normally have WAY TOO MANY ITEMS on the menu to be able to turn out the best product possible. Not Saya, the menu is smaller, but the food is absolutely great. This place is family owned, been there 30+ years, service is great. Lunch in VERY busy, dinner as well. I've eaten here 4 times in the last month. That says a lot, the fried chicken, Pad-see-ew, Pad-thai, fresh rolls, Thai iced tea is 100% on point. I've lived in SE Asia, Thailand is one of those places, they call it "land of a million smiles." This is a reason to smile. Check it out yourself, value, flavor, price? Cannot be beat.
