I was thrilled when I found out that a Thai restaurant opened in Shawnee. though the level of service was exceptional, I found the food disappointing. The curry (we tried the red, green, and paneer), while bold, and flavorful, was way too sweet (on par with your typical serving of sweet iced tea before ice is added). The pad Thai might have been good if it weren't for way too much fish sauce (levels that made it smell and taste rancid). Two of us took one bite, and threw the rest in the trash. The chicken satay and peanut sauce was tasty, but the chicken was not trimmed, and one of my family members bit into something hard like a tendon, or cartilage. The drinks were way too small for the price. I could understand this with specialty teas, but my son ordered a simple unsweetened tea which came out in a small Styrofoam cup. Overall, I would say the food was about a 2/5, but the service was exceptional. The young people working the front of the house were very polite, and helpful. I would have bumped the stars up for service, but when i order carryout, it's all about the food. I really don't understand the five star reviews, and why they were posted before the restaurant actually opened. Maybe there was a special soft launch for friends and family who are much more inclined to want to see them succeed? Maybe they were on their "A game" at that time? Maybe I just came at a bad time? Who knows? read more

Best Thai food on the state. I've had almost everything on the menu and never been disappointed...

The staff was very friendly and the restaurant was tidy and welcoming. My son and I have been to Thailand and love when we come across a Thai food establishment. We were excited to find this place. However, the curries that my son and I ordered were overly sweet and lacked any flavor that a true Thai curry possesses.I included a pic of my green curry that I ordered. The picture on the menu had a green in color curry presented but that is not what I was served. read more

WE LOVE SAYA THAI! We moved to the area almost two years ago and haven't been able to find a good Thai food restaurant since moving here. Since we've found Saya we can't stay away. They have a system that keeps your orders so you don't even have to say what you need if your like us and want the same thing each time! We can't say enough good things about this restaurant! read more

New Thai place in Shawnee is very good! We had crispy spring rolls and pot stickers for appetizers that were delicious! I love Pad Thai and theirs is outstanding! Prices are reasonable, it's very clean, and the service is friendly! Highly recommend if you like Thai food! read more

The food tastes fresher than most spots like this. I have been 4 times and service was always better than average and food has not disappointed yet. Menu is a little smaller than some Thai restaurants but what they make is solid. read more

I went in for the soft opening and had red curry with vegetables and tofu. It was rich, creamy and flavorful. The waitstaff were friendly and attentive. The portions were perfect and the decor while not dramatic was interesting and everything was clean. I'm Looking forward to going back and trying other items in the menu. read more

5*-My husband and I ate at SAYA THAI in Shawnee. Oklahoma. We loved the food. My husband said he didn't like Thai food until we ate here.. he ordered the STIR-FRY with GARLIC SAUCE, and CHICKEN and BEEF. He said it was DELICIOUS and we'll definitely go back. I loved my CASHEW STIR-FRY with SHRIMP... THE BEST I've ever had including Thai food in NYC. We share a CHICKEN SATAY as an appetizer... SO TENDER TASTY with a small cucumber THAI SALAD & Peanut sauce... soooooooo DELICIOUS We'll definitely go back. Our rating is 5*-STARS read more

Tried to get dinner here last night (Friday) and at 7pm they stopped answering there phone so drove over to find a sign posted that said "sold out". What does that mean exactly? Poor planning for a weekend ahead or the staff just wanted to go home early? Disappointing for sure read more

Food is always in big portions, so it's nice to come here knowing you can have leftovers for tomorrow's lunch! The service is fairly quick, although the main server's English can be hard to understand if you aren't expecting it. The restaurant is nice and looks like it was renovated recently. Vegetarian options are available. The food has never disappointed! My wife usually gets the curry and she loves it every time. read more

In town with kids and grandkids and we ordered for 4 adults and 3 little ones. Fried spring rolls, steamed gyoza, chicken satay, papaya salad, ginger chicken stir fry, combo pad Thai, chicken massaman curry, chicken shrimp Penang curry, Saya pork fried rice. All ordered at a 1 except the pad Thai and parang curry at a 2. The papaya salad should have been chilled and was warm. Ordered at a 1 it was blisteringly hot. One of my wife's favorite dishes and it was a disappointment. Also the shrimp unit were undercooked and not cleaned. Pictures from other customers showed cleaned shrimp. That's laziness in the kitchen. Chicken satay was good for the kids; peanut sauce was a paste not saucy. Spring rolls fried were small but good. The steamed gyoza were flavorful but gummy. Pad Thai was very good but mild though ordered as a 2. Massaman curry was excellent and mild as ordered. Parang curry was excellent except it's 2 level was more like a 4. Blisteringly hot, and it had those same I cleaned shrimp. . Ginger stir fry was ok but lacked any evidence of ginger. Pork fried rice was good. This should be an excellent Thai place but needs to get consistent in the kitchen, especially on hot scale and preparing shrimp. read more

I love this place! The last couple of times I have gone they've been out of chicken but they still have great stuff and I think they are worth the try. read more

I had the Pad See Ew. My sister ordered the Red Curry. Both were delicious. If it has a pepper beside it on the menu & you are heat sensitive, beware. I was fine with the heat level in the Red Curry, but it was way too hot for my sister. I have had Thai food at several restaurants & this Thai was very tasty to me. I will definitely go there again when in Shawnee! read more

This had to be one of the worst. I had the the Pad Kee Mao. I could count the number of vegetables and mushrooms on one hand. Very disappointing! read more

Food is so delicious my only complaints is the waitress was talking to people all across the restaurant... sometimes customers don't want to hear others talking/asking for things/ordering very loudly across an already very open and small space.... read more

I was stoked to see Thai food in Shawnee! I love their ginger stir fry with chicken or tofu! I've also had their garlic stir fry and the pad Thai with chicken and tofu. They prepare their tofu a little different than what I'm used to but I still enjoy it. It's also refreshing to go in n grab a Thai tea to go. Service has always been a tad on the slower side, aka if you're on lunch break... call ahead n order it to go. I do wish that parking lot was better it's a nightmare. The place is super clean I love the raw wood accents. I'll definitely make it a regular stop when I have over an hour for the meal. read more

I have mixed feelings about this place. I LOVE authentic Thai food. This food is tasty and flavorful, but I would not give it the title of "authentic." If you're looking for tasty Thai-style food, it's a good option, but don't expect to be transported to Thailand through this food experience. The waiters are always super nice and provide great customer service. I commend them because they have to deal with a lot... the last time I was there, they ran out of cash AND the computers were down and cards didn't work, so the people working used their own money to give me my change. They definitely didn't have to be that obliging for something that was not their fault. Overall I'm satisfied as long as I know what to expect.... also, the Massaman curry is super tasty. If you order to go, you get almost twice as much curry (I can't speak to the quantity of other non-curry items). For a ~$10 entree, I appreciate getting enough to last me 2 meals. read more

The prices are comparable to other Thai places in OKC...Love the curry,glass noodles and pad Thai.. they have lunch specials but didn't mind the 9 bucks for the entree had enough for another meal the next day... read more

We now make Thai Food a part of our restaurant life. I love the kick (level 1-5) in there Saya chili fried chicken. After the initial taste shock to my American palate, the amazing flavors kick in for a wonderful experience. My wife loves the large bowl Tom kha, which has coconut milk, to which she adds their red chili paste? to offset some of the beautiful sweetness of the coconut milk read more

They have a gluten free option and also offered me gluten free soy sauce. The portions are awesome! Everything tasted delicious

I love Thai food and will definitely visit Saya again but wanted to share my experience. First, the staff definitely gets 5+ stars--they are welcoming and very friendly. I ordered the green curry and papaya salad to go. The green curry was not green in color, more of a milky white, and it was really sweet. It was good, but green currys I've had elsewhere are not sweet. The papaya salad was good but it had 3 pieces of shrimp in it (which I did not order and which were not included on the menu as part of the ingredients). I have no allergies but this could have been a big problem for someone else. Prices are good. read more

Placed a carry out order and it costed more than expected. An employee informed us that they were charging an additional 18% gratuity on all carry orders to cover their Covid costs. Annoyed, we drove home with our food only to find that every meal we ordered...and 3 appetizers were all wrong. We ended up spending $60 for 3 orders of plain soggy fried rice and 3 orders of some kind of dumpling. Unbelievable. Shame on them...will never eat there again. read more

Excellent food, great service! Generous potions. Our waitress was happy to tell us her favorite dishes and provided great recommendations to someone like me who does not love spicy food! We will be back soon! read more

Good Thai, but be prepared for some heat, even 1 on the scale it was hotter than other Thai restaurants that I have been to. Great tasting food, no doubt!!!!! read more

Pretty good Thai food, some things are a little to sweet for my taste but most everything I've tried has been good, have only dined in two times and both times had really bad service, I suggest ordering to go read more

I had the chicken stir-fry to go. It was hot yummy. I will be back. The restaurant was clean and the service was fast and friendly.

We love Saya Thai!! It can get spicy so on there 1-5 stars we typically get a two star. The chicken fried rice is a staple!! The pad thai and Goza is great as well. Students get 10% off the meals too. Also their portions are big so usually can eat it again for another meal read more

I always wanted to eat Thai food. When I found Saya Thai, I heard good things about it so I decided to eat it myself. My mom ordered it online; my dad and I got chicken Pad Thai and my mom got chicken fried rice. At first I disliked Pad Thai, but I quickly started to like it. After eating leftover, I loved it even more. The only downside is the fairly limited options for food on the menu, but otherwise. Saya Thai is a great place for Thai food whether you've had Thai food and love it, or it's your first time eating Thai food. read more

Just went for the first time to Shawnee's first and only Thai restaurant and it was AWESOME! I was so excited to see a Thai restaurant open in Shawnee where most restaurant options are fast food or "American comfort food". I was not disappointed. Got an appetizer of fried Gyoza and for our entrees we got the Red Curry and Pad See-Eew. All of it was very fresh and delicious. Instead of a fortune cookie they give these little hard candies that are so very good. Tastes like a little honeydew. I thought that was a nice touch! The service was great, the restaurant was nice and cozy, and the food came out quick. You can tell the chef cooks with love! Cant wait to go back! read more

I was hoping this would be an actual good dining experience..actually, it's more like a fast food place. We were the only customers in there and getting our food was still fairly slow. The Pad Thai was a lot of noodles..very few veggies or spices..I ordered mine with seafood, beef and chicken..there were two little shrimp..a couple of small pieces of thinly sliced beef and almost unidentifiable few small pieces of chicken..the whole plate of food was very dry..I would have preferred a lot less noodles, more sauce, shrimp, chicken and beef ....I wish this restaurant good luck..the wait staff was friendly and answered questions but there was zero atmosphere no cocktail service..overall, a big disappointment! read more

Best Thai food I have ever had!! We loved everything about the restaurant. Wait staff was wonderful and the food absolutely delicious. We had red and green curry, basil fried rice and crispy spring rolls. We were very impressed, especially considering we were the the first day of the soft opening. We will definitely make this a regular spot for our family. read more

Loved the pad Thai here. I've eaten several places in Okc area and this one was one of the most flavorful I've eaten. Spicy level 2 was more like a 3 or 4. But still delicious. The chicken was tender and the service was great! Portions are huge; enough for 2-3 meals. Kids portions are generous as well. There was an angry customer in there while I was there and the young wait staff handled her very well. 10/10 recommend! read more

I was excited to see a Thai restaurant open in Shawnee, we I worked in okc could choose many good places and coming from California and Oregon many great places to eat, this place sorry will never go again, everything was bland I feel like the veggies were few and far between and not fresh, the only thing good was the Thai tea. read more

I had a Wednesday lunch special for $7.75 and I upgraded from the Jasmine rice to the fried rice. I chose to start with 2 spring rolls then picked Massaman Chicken Curry. I also chose the Garlic -Beef stir fry. I had a coke to drink. Everything was great although I do wish the chicken curry was piping hot in temperature instead of real warm but that is just a personal preference for me. The flavor was outstanding and the service was superb. I will be bringing back my son with me next time. I am so glad we have a Thai restaurant in Shawnee. You get a lot of food for the price and will have leftovers for tomorrow's lunch too! read more

Food was really good. Service not so much. Hopefully they'll get better with experience. I'll try again. Waited 10-15 minutes at lunch prior to having order taken. Drink order was wrong. Then at the end of my visit I sat for 5-10 minutes with no water or tea in my glasses. read more
