    The last entry ; Mango Curry-  is the Bomb!
    Robert M.

    My wife and I needed an ethnic food fix for a late lunch, and we reached agreement at "Thai" food. So we headed over to Sawasdee for some curry. We were met with a pleasant greeting to select our table preference and immediately served beverages. My wife let me go first and I selected the Mango Curry lunch. She ordered the same. It was exquisitely delicious. Creamy sauce texture with mango flavor with a hint of mint and pepper taste in the background, followed by a very satisfying pepper after taste on the palate. You may tell by the included pictures the dish was very good. This place is a little gem on N. McCarron near the Raley's market. Really well done decorations and very clean. Great meal!

    This place is a hidden gem. Decided to switch it up from our usual spot and this place was great! Started off with fresh spring rolls.. their peanut sauce is one of the best I've had! We ordered pot stickers, pad Thai, and crispy pineapple chicken. Everything tasted sssooo good. The chicken had the best flavor and the spiciness of the pad Thai was on point! The staff was really friendly-- they made sure we had everything we needed but not over bearing. It's a nice open restaurant with plenty of seating. No issues with parking. Definitely want to come back and check out more of their menu options! If you are looking for a new Thai spot in Sparks-- here you go!

    Pad Prik Khing

    Very minimal Thai food options in Reno/Sparks and Sawasdee is usually one of our go-tos. We got spring rolls with shrimp, pad prik khing, and pla goong. Food is tasty, service was great, but only downfall is that they raised their prices and the portion sizes have gotten smaller. The pla goong was supposed to have grilled prawns but was given a scoop of sliced shrimp instead. Spring rolls were fresh and the dipping sauce is great. Would recommend requesting their spice rack for extra heat.

    The lunch special here is such a great deal and the portions are great. I got soup and a salad with panang curry medium spice as my main. Something about that simple soup was so comforting and delicious! I also placed a to go order of the shrimp summer rolls for my mom and though she was a little disappointed with the peanut sauce the food was good overall.

    Whole order of Pad thai and inside of veggie spring roll

    I ordered chicken veggie pad thai at a 4 heat and an order of veggie spring rolls. The pad thai came in a card board container with a foil insert. I transferred to a salad bowl since I don't like eating off foil. The dish was not spicey/hot enough even though it was 4 out of 5. It tasted good, could have used more chicken but the veggies were crispy. The 2 egg rolls were not worth the $6.95 I paid. They were mostly lettuce with a carrot, cucumber slices (1 each) and a mint leaf. Total order was $23.73.

    This is our go to Thai spot! Hands down the best green curry I've found in town and my boyfriend loves their pineapple chicken. This is our repeat order every time. We also love their Taro Bubble Tea! The restaurant is super cute and the staff is always so nice. If you're feeling like Thai food, I would definitely recommend checking it out.

    I was looking for something unusual so I decided to try Sawasdee. Like most Thai restaurants, they have a spice rating system to help unsuspecting customers avoid over-spicing. I asked for a 4/5 expecting some heat and was really underwhelmed. Maybe the waiter misheard me or maybe he was trying to help me out of a bad choice. Either way, if they ask you your spice level preference, go ahead and add. The waiter did bring Prik nam plah to help spice up my dish upon request, though.

    Date night with hubs so we wanted to try somewhere we hadn't been. This place small but cozy. They have tables that seat 2 up to tables for large groups. Portion sizes are like family style eating and seemed meant to share. We had shrimp spring rolls with peanut sauce. They were fresh and tasty. Also ordered the pineapple chicken. It came with a side of white rice. Chicken is breaded and crispy, not overly sweet. Over all it was good food and great experience. They did get busy just after 6 pm but to be fair it was a Friday evening. I do recommend giving it a try!

    Dingy looking inside. Food good. Great flavor in the rangoons/wontons. Chicken satay - hearty. Drunken noodles - thick noodles

    5/15/23 Menu
    Lee D.

    Quality/Quantity - Spicy Eggplant Lunch Special with Chicken - Good flavors and portions. Honey Chicken Lunch Special with Pad Thai, $2 more - Could have used a little more noodles; I had left over honey chicken. It might have been a better dish if I got it with rice instead. The honey chicken sauce tasted very similar to the spicy eggplant sauce...? Key Lime Mint - This was good, sweet and sour! I think I am going to try to find it and buy a bag! Fairly extensive menu, but the lunch special is a very good deal. Soup, salad, appetizer and entree. FYI drink the soup and eat the fried wonton right away, before the fried wonton gets soggy. Atmosphere - Small local restaurant. Next to the Raley's supermarket. Plenty of mall parking. Indoor table seating. Open 6 days a week from 11am to 8pm, closed Sundays. Service - The owner is such a hard worker, a one woman army. Answering phones, waiting on all the tables herself. Busing all the tables herself. Taking care of the phones and to-go orders, etc! Slight wait for orders, as I believe all orders are made fresh. Cut and pasted from their website: "Refund Policy: We want all of our customers to be 100% satisfied with their meal. If you are not satisfied, please contact us for a partial or full refund." Can I suggest you update your website? It says you are on vacation until 4/24/23; that date slightly passed. Price - $26 + tip, good value. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success, whenever I am in the Sparks area and craving Thai food, we will stop by.

    Seafood Curry, Garlic Pepper Tofu and Spring Rolls.

    Love, love, love this restaurant! The taste is fabulous and the service is always friendly. My go-to Thai in Reno.

How it was served gave a very homey feel. - Mango Sticky Rice: The rice is sweet and the mangos were good. However, there is a big difference in the amount of mangoes and rice they serve per plate compared to the first time we were here. Overall, the food tastes good and the service is okay. I am disappointed in the lack of consistency with plating and amount of food that is served. I would not eat in the restaurant in the future, but prefer take out.

The first thing I noticed is the gal at the counter asked the guy in front of me what sauces he wanted for his to go order and how many people were going to share the order. He said I want all the sauces and two people. She proceeded to get him the appropriate number of plastic utensils. I ordered Chicken Pad Thai and crab rangoon. She said it would be 10 minutes so I was browsing through their merchandise. Two servers came up to the display after I was done and started speaking in their language and shuffling through the items. I asked if I had made a mess and apologized if I did. She answered the purses aren't priced. How odd I thought, why display them for sale without a price? When they gave me my order I wasn't asked what sauces I wanted and how many people for the meal. Since I have silverware and hot sauce at home I didn't say anything. The customer service could definitely improve. I know there is a cultural difference but we are in America! The noodles were soggy and just blah. The rangoon were made with fake crab not cream cheese. They were overcooked. There was no one dining in except a couple who had just walked in. The order cost $26.06 and I tipped $5.00 for take out. I won't be returning.

The wood ear in it was excellent, but I've never seen it in pad thai. The thai ice tea was good, maybe a bit heavy on sweetener. I don't understand the high ratings here, based pireh on food. Thai Chili has far better flavors, and is rated lower. The wait staff/food runners lacked politeness, and never checked if we enjoyed our food or needed anyone. Sans the person filling everyone's water, we were never checked on in any other capacity. The restaurant was a cacophony of noise and conversation, I had to lean across the booth to have any chance of hearing my companion. The noise level is overwhelming if you have sensory issues at all. The decor is pretty cool.
