    One of my new favorite Thai spots on the island! I've been meaning to try this spot for a long time and finally did for Valentine's Day. We made reservations and were seated quickly. Our waitress was very sweet and friendly, and put our orders in fairly quickly. The ambience was very relaxed even though it was fairly busy with almost every table occupied. Despite that, we had really good service. We ordered the Calamari and Curry Puff for apps and had the Spicy Crispy Pork Belly and Roasted Duck in Red Curry for entrees. We also decided to grab some cocktails and tried the Sawasdee Storm and Mai Thai. The cocktails were really great and fairly strong, especially the Sawasdee Storm. I enjoyed the Mai Thai and finished it fairly quickly. The pricing was good for the amount we got and we enjoyed it. The Calamari was delicious and well made and seasoned. I loved that it was tender without being too chewy. The Curry Puffs were 4 pieces and they were flavorful and delicious. I loved that they weren't too oily or flaky. The entrees were absolutely delicious! I loved the Spicy Crispy Pork Belly and the flavorful sauce it came with. I wish I'd gotten it a bit spicier but next time! The Roasted Duck in Red Curry was the winner for the evening. It was so tender and falvorful and just delicious! We enjoyed it immensely! Lastly, we grabbed Coconut Pudding and Thai Taro Custard for dessert, both of which were perfect! I paired my dessert with one of their award-winning teas, Koh Samet Sun, which made our dessert perfect! Overall, this is a great spot with very friendly staff and delicious food! We ended up meeting the owner as we left and his dedication to great service made the evening all the more enjoyable and memorable. I highly recommend popping by if you're in the area!

    Everything was awesome. Went with a group of friends. Will highly recommend. I had the Thai Basil with Shrimp and some crab fried rice which were both delicious. The fried ice cream is a must have!! The ice cream was 'flaming'. What an experience!

    Tonight I ordered the drunken noodles to go and they were pretty good! the noodles were cooked perfectly and the flavors were definitely there! However, I was quite annoyed when the man who handed over the food told me I couldn't go outside to take photos of the dish because it was only for dine-in which is understandable but at the time of me ordering the restaurant was pretty dead only a handful of people INSIDE, so it didn't make much sense. Overall, great food but disappointing service.

    Thank you Yelpers for the suggestion. I had this place bookmarked for a while and figured next time I'm in the neighborhood, I must try and am glad I did. The restaurant is roomy and beautifully decorated. There's a few pictures on the walls that depict Thailand's landscape. Having been there myself, it was nice to find this spot for great Thai food. Drunken noodles was the review favorite so my hubby ordered it and he really enjoyed it. I ordered the masaman curry to see if it was the real deal and it was delicious. My kids ordered a few appetizers and had the chicken with peanut sauce entree. Everything was tasty and well executed. The money bag chicken appetizer was really crispy so that made it very enjoyable. And the classic curry puff appetizer we always have to get, was so good here. We couldn't get enough of it. The Thai Iced teas were very good as well, great flavor and not overly sweet. Best dessert: mango with sticky rice. It was true to the ones we've had in Thailand so this was a super nice treat. The only reason why I didn't give this place a five star review was the service. The staff was quick to seat and greet but not very friendly. I felt rushed to order as well even though we were well ahead of closing time. Also oddly, multiple servers walked around and came to us but whenever I needed someone, one would waive over another to help. Just odd. The restaurant is located in a shopping plaza so parking was easy. The bar is a full on bar with a full time bartender on hand. The cocktails looked good (variety) but I didn't order any... Will have to return for those.

    Sawasdee is a small restaurant but it has all the classic Thai dishes! They have lunch specials during the week, which make it a great choice for take out. I'm a big fan of their Chicken Pad Thai as it also comes with a salad and spring roll. Everything is packed neatly so you don't have to worry about spills when driving. My husband and I stopped by for lunch on Saturday and there were plenty of open tables. We shared the Curry Puffs as an appetizer and they were served warm with a nice dipping sauce. My husband ordered the Chicken Massaman Curry, which comes with a bowl of white rice. The curry was very creamy but the potatoes weren't cooked long enough. I ordered the Chicken Drunken Noodle. It had a kick to it but tasted a bit bland to me. I'll come back and try the Pad See Ew next time.

    So if you're ok with getting the complete wrong order then this place is great. The parts that they got right was pretty bad.

    Bravo! Bravo! Absolutely outstanding Thai food at great prices and a great location close to me…read more Everything on go. I ordered the chicken pad see ew, beef red curry, chicken satay, and basil chicken. Tried to hit every meat group. Next time gotta try the fish The Chicken Pad See Ew was a standout. Wide rice noodles with that perfect chewy texture and beautiful wok hei char. The savory-sweet soy-based sauce coated everything perfectly, and the mix of tender chicken and juicy pieces made it incredibly satisfying. The Beef Red Curry was rich and aromatic with a luscious coconut milk base. The red curry paste had great depth. There was layers of lemongrass, galangal, and spices. The beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the bamboo shoots, bell peppers, and Thai basil were fresh and plentiful. I loved how it had a nice kick that built up without overpowering the dish. The Chicken Satay came out perfectly grilled with beautiful char marks. The chicken was juicy and marinated well, and the peanut sauce on the side was creamy, nutty, and addictive. Finally, the Basil Chicken delivered that classic Thai street-food flavor. Plenty of fragrant holy basil, lots of garlic, and just the right amount of chili heat. The chicken was tender with great texture, and it paired amazingly with jasmine rice. Everything arrived hot, fresh, and beautifully presented. The portions were very generous too -- we had plenty of leftovers for the next day. As my son would say "10 out of 10!" but since we are on yelp, we'll have to settle with a 5. Give this place a try.

    Unfortunately, our recent meal was really disappointing. The side of white rice had a brown, gooey…read moreclump in it that made me concerned it had spoiled or scorched, and the Basil Chicken was so tough and overcooked it was impossible to swallow, served in a sauce that was thin like hot water. Portions were also an issue. The chicken came in a tiny container, AND was less than half-filled. The shrimp in the Panang Curry were a bright spot (perfectly cooked!), but the curry itself lacked the typical creamy consistency. Hopefully they take this as constructive feedback.

I love their drunken noodles and today we ordered a shrimp dish and curry, which is absolutely fantastic. It's a small place with a small outside seating area pretty cute but nothing grand. One warning this is an Asian neighborhood and Thai food should be spicy. If you're not looking for super spicy, make sure you ask for it to be mild. The first time I ordered here I made the mistake of asking for extra spicy as I find places tend to be inauthentic with their amount of spice this place isn't. I highly recommend it.

We were all women and luckily able to squeeze into a table for 4 in the alcove area. Like I said, it was a bit busy so service was slow. I had to ask the waiter to come and take our order and even then it took a bit for our order to come out. As we were there for a group lunch, the wait didn't bother us too much. We all opted for the lunch special which is a decent deal, $15 for an app and entree. I got the ginger salad and the drunken noodles with chicken. The salad was tasty but overdressed, I wished I had asked for the dressing on the side. The drunken noodles were not too spicy and a bit too sweet for my taste. I feel they used the same sauce as the pad see ew and added a little spice to make it the drunken noodle. We also ordered the mango sticky rice. They only had one left so we shared it amongst the 5 of us. We were taken aback by the green color of the rice but the color didn't add any strange flavor. Would i return? Based on the dishes I had I don't know. It's a cute place and a good lunch deal so maybe, but I will definitely try other dishes, maybe one of the curries?

    3.5 Stars for their lunch specials!…read more This was our first visit, and we only ordered a salad and two lunch specials. I would definitely come back to try other items from their regular menu. I found the entrees in the lunch special a little skimpy. These are the dishes we shared: -- Papaya Salad ($12): this is from their regular menu, and I thought it was excellent! Well balanced and so tasty! -- Drunken Noodles w.Beef (Lunch Special $14.95): this came with a Spring Roll and your choice of either Soup or Salad. We chose the Soup, which was a Tom Yum Soup. The Soup was very spicy but the Drunken Noodles were very mild; almost bland. It definitely needed more flavors and wok hei, but still ok. -- Massaman Curry w.Shrimp (Lunch Special $14.95): this came with a Spring Roll and your choice of either Soup or Salad. We chose the Salad, which came with a Peanut sauce. The Salad was actually pretty good; the peanut sauce was slightly sweet. The Massaman Curry w.Shrimp was very weak in flavor and only came with 3 little shrimps. I would suggest you order a different protein and skip the shrimp. Customer service was good; albeit there was nobody to greet us when we first arrived, so we just seated ourselves. But service got better. They didn't rush us to order and let us linger after we finished eating. But after a while, we were asked to leave since they close the restaurant in between the lunch and dinner service (between 3:30-4:30pm). Sorry, we were not aware of this! All in all, a decent first experience. Next time, I'd skip the lunch specials and just order off their regular menu.

We ordered the Khao Soi Noodle Soup which was a curry based soup. In the order you have a choice of protein and noodle type. We got chicken and egg noodles. I did like how the chilis and noodles were separated from the soup so the noodles weren't saturated and you can control the spice level. We also got Pad woon sen and the crab fried rice. The pad woon sen had a good ratio of chicken, veggies and noodles. Our favorite though was the crab fried rice. It was nice and fluffy, lots of fresh crab meat and very tasty. I would definitely order the fried rice again. Next time maybe I'll try dining in as their interior look nicely decorated.
