    I was first to arrive when they open at 7pm for dinner service, I was kindly greeted by a host and…read morestaff, after being seated and given a menu I told the host in French that I didn't speak much of it. My host then spoke in English and assured me that it's fine. The ambiance of this restaurant feels really upscale this jazzy French music and romantic lighting....tres chic. I started off with the lemon & lemongrass beef salad, which was light and refreshing, lemongrass was not overwhelming, the beef salad was a perfect starter. Next I had the chicken pad Thai, another good choice, the chicken came on skewers and was grilled and seasoned with curry. The pad Thai noodles was al dente and not soggy. Thus far an excellent meal....

    Sawadee is acutally quite an interesting one. On the one hand there is Thai food as in real Thai…read morefood and on the other hand there is what foreigners have termed "Thai food" (the equivalent of American "Chinese food" since no one in China actually eats orange chicken or fortune cookies). Sawadee, though not run by Thais so the proper etiquette can not really be expected (though Thais don't always Wai if they are really occupied), in my honest opinion, falls more in the Thai food category rather than "Thai food." The decor is a bit of an explosion of "artifacts" that in moderation would seem quite authentic (though no Thai restaurant in Thailand would actually decorate in this manner). The extensive menu contains many quintessential Thai dishes though spelt somewhat oddly in the English menu. I ordered some of my childhood favourites including "Fried Green Vegetables" (Pak Boung), "Fried Shrimp with Garlic and Pepper" (Goong Tod Kratiem Prik Thai), "Deep Fried Chicken in Pandanas Leaf" (Gai Tod Bai Toey), and sticky rice. Sawadee is not "Thai food." It's mediocre REAL Thai food, that satisfies quite sufficiently.

    The first time I had chicken balls and sweet and sour sauce while being told it was Chinese food, I…read morewas utterly confused. That is...until I learned that this is what is known has "white Chinese food" - food that has been altered to the taste of westerners. I can't say that this place is like chicken balls (I am laughing as i am typing this) because deep fried chicken balls is really not a thing in the authentic Chinese food culture, whereas things like pad thai, pad see ew, green curry chicken, penang curry beef does exist in in the authentic thai food repertoire, which finally brings me to my point that although I would say this place is "white thai food" it's actually done quite well for what it is. It has your typical Thai dishes cooked by non-thai people with predominantly pre-made thai-like spices. It's tasty but lacks the explosion of thai flavours. Why four stars then? Well four stars in its class. (I'm laughing again) The food is good, the restaurant is clean and bright, the people are nice, the price is very reasonable, and they deliver...not to mention this is situated in the 15th arr, where you would be hard pressed to find food not catered to western taste. I haven't tried their delivery yet, but I have no doubt I will.

    Whenever you feel like staying-in, but longing for good thai food - call these people. Friendly,…read morequick service and DIVINE dishes that aren't expensive at all. Make sure to try the Nem Thadua (salad), Pad Siew (beef noodles) and as a dessert the banana in coconut milk with tapioca. I'm a fan.

    Welcoming restaurant in the heart of the 15th arrondissement. It had a very inviting feeling to…read moreit. We were seated in the front dining room. Our server was trilingual and spoke English well. The menu was also in French and English. He started us off with an aperitif on the house and a endless basket of shrimp chips. He was a cheerful and engaging person. He answered any questions we had concerning the menu. Our soups were fantastic. The main dishes of shrimp and beef were out of this world. The wife loved her dessert. As a finale, he brought out this gigantic bowl of candy. He even offered us sake or champagne (again on the house). For the closing act, he brought out warm lemon scented towels for us to clean up with. We had a great time. Other tables in the rear dining room could be heard carrying on and laughing out loud with our waiter. He ran both dining rooms with the assistance of an older lady that delivered our food to our table. Come check them out when you are in Paris. Enjoy!!!

The owner and staff were kind, courteous, professional, and great conversationalists. The beef loc lac was tender, perfectly cooked, and so flavorful words cannot describe. My wife and I were treated to free glasses of wine while we waited for our food. My daughter was rewarded with the most delicious candies and treats she has ever had. And the restaurant was always busy which is a testament to the care and satisfaction of its customers. I recommend anyone traveling to Paris to visit Bangkok Express and be prepared for service and the most delicious meals you can only imagine. And before you thank me, I'll just say you're welcome.
