The food wasn't that great. The chicken pad thai was quite mushy and quickly put together and their stir fry's are very mediocre as well. Not to mention the horrible waitress and service that we experienced. Definitely better places to eat around the Arbor Lakes area. read more

Food was great, service was good, excellent value. Interior of dining area relatively clean yet need some attention. Will certainly return to try more menu items. read more

Today I came to enjoy a night out with my husband. Our waitress was nice at first. But when we started to order, she became very rude. I ordered a blackberry mojito, and it didn't taste good at all, so I asked our waitress if she could take it back. She was not being professional or cordial at all. She just took it back very rudely, and went to go complain to the bartender who was 6 feet away from my table. When our waitress came back to our table with our food, she was giving us a lot of bad attitude. The last dish that she served us was my sushi. I am a big time sushi lover, but when I took a bite of this sushi, I honestly could not finish it at all. The sushi was filled with SALT! I paid nearly $16 for a roll that they tempered with. A whole entire roll, SALTED. This is THE LAST TIME that I am coming here. To anyone, who is looking for good service or good food, this is NOT the place for you. read more

I am sad I have to rate with 1 Star, it's overly generous. I have a terrible experience. I found Sawatdee because I was sick with the Flu and the only thing that made me feel better and that I could keep down was Chicken Pho soup. I was appalled that this place passed off their "Sawatdee Soup" as Pho because that was NOT what it was. I ordered several items to have for leftovers since I was confined under home quarantine and if it's possible the Food I ordered actually made me feel worse. My Pineapple Pork Fried rice's flavor was way off, inedible and the protein I ordered was just thrown on top and it was actually slimy. The "Pho" was Not Pho, it was some horrific rendition of soup with stir fried spicy meat and again inedible, and the sticky rice that I was charged extra for because I wanted sticky rice was just steamed jasmine white rice. Beyond disappointed and will never eat here again. read more

Horrible service. It was dead when we arrived. Only one customer eating. The server ran out to the street to chat with a woman who had just left. We sat waiting to for her to come back inside to take our order, at least 10 minutes. When she finally came back inside, she was abrupt & distracted. Two other sets of customers came in, about 10 and 20 minutes after we had ordered, and they got their food before we did, even though we had ordered, at least 20 minutes before the others came in. They got their food within 10 minutes while we still waited. We got our carryout. The appetizers & curry were good, but being snubbed for other customers soured the experience, so I would never go back to that location, nor recommend it. They do not make you feel valued. We wondered if she favored one ethnicity customer over other ethnicities. It was very strange. read more

The restaurant has too many tables jammed into the dining room and it was extremely difficult to get any of the wait staff to assist us. It took us close to 2-and-a-half hours to eat. They wouldn't bring us our drinks, take our orders, or get our bill without us having to wait 45 minutes before flagging someone down. The food was good, but not worth the terrible service.There will have to be some major changes before any of us will consider going back again. read more

I came and ordered their take out just last Thursday and it was my first time trying out the food. I love it! The hostess helped me out nicely and she even gave me suggestions which is good because I usually take a while to decide. She told me it would be 15-20 minutes and she wasn't kidding! I came back and the food was fresh to go! I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and family. read more

Had a takeout and throughly embarrassed for Swatted. This used to be a decent restaurant. Today, even the white rice isn't cooked throughly. Extremely watery sauce on the Pannang Curry. Chicken on the Checken delight felt like few months old. Complete waste of time and money. Giving Thai food a bad name. read more

I order pad see yew it was dry and it was made with the wrong noodles. It was not worth 12.99 at all. Biggest mistake ever. nothing close to Thai pad see yew! read more

I have always liked Sawatdee, and eat there, when on business travel in Minneapolis. This was my first time to this location, and though the food was the same great food, the service at the bar at this location was lacking. I waited a long time to give my order, and though my dish was correct, the meat I chose was incorrect. read more

I've had good service at this establishment before. However, after the way we were treated last night I will NEVER go here again. To start, that hostess was extremely rude. I came into the restaurant to put our name on the waiting list. I heard a person playing the guitar beautifully so I peek my head around the corner and I was excited to hear some more music while we ate. The hostess walked up and I told her I had 5 in my party. He response was "There is a wait yanno?" I told her that was fine. She said it would be 15 mins. My husband (it was his birthday) and our friends waited... and waited... and waited... 30 mins later (with out seeing the hostess again and seeing multiple tables free) I finally stopped a waitress to ask if we could be seated? I was baffled by her response. "We are really backed up here. You could either sit at a table and wait or wait where you are, either way you're going to be waiting." Long story short. WE WALKED OUT! Went to Redstone, our second choice. I will be writing a fabulous review for them after this one. read more

My husband and I try Thai food around the city, and we continually find ourselves coming back here for the Pad Thai. So good! However, it is the bad service that we are always disappointed with. We are rarely greeted in under 10 minutes upon arrival and hardly checked on throughout the meal. Every time. It's unfortunate, but the food is delicious! read more

A little slower but once orders are in, food comes out quickly. Best pad thai, won't go anywhere else!

We have eaten at other Sawatdee locations and have enjoyed them. This was the first time we tried the Maple Grove location. The atmosphere was nice, the place was very busy, and the service was good. We liked the variety of choices you got with the Sawatdee/Zushiya combination. The Pad thai, chicken fried rice , and catfish in a sweet ginger sauce was awesome!(just wished for more catfish). The 2 types of sushi we ordered were good to average. The only dish that was a dissapointment was the calamari which was overcooked and rubbery. But overall we had an enjoyable experience at Sawatdee Maple Grove location. read more

I had high hopes for this place considering that it was voted best ethnic food in maple grove. I was dissapointed. I came in with a group of 6. Host was very polite. We were seated in a booth. Very uncomfortable...especially with a group of 6. It made moving around very complicating. Wish we had a table instead. We looked at the menu and everything seemed decent. Although I don't understand what kind of Thai restaurant does not have drunken noodles or pad see ew. Our waitress was terrible. I understand that she might of been having a bad day, but you should never show that to your customers. NEVER. She brought us drinks and took our orders. She was not smart about taking our orders, considering that we were a group of 6. Instead of taking our orders by our seats, she scattered all over the table, making us confused as well as herself. She also cut me off in the middle of my order and took another persons order. The sushi was terrible. I'm guessing that is why they do their 2 for the 1 on the sushi. It DID not taste like sushi at all. Very sloppy work as well. Our food was served and it wasn't as great. I've had much better food than that. The curry was too sweet but it was the only good thing we had. Beef pad thai was very very rubbery and mushy. VERY saucy. There was barely any beef in it as well. After dining, we were ready to leave. Were forgotten and sat there for about 20 minutes waiting for our check. During our dinner, we weren't checked up on at all either. We asked for take out boxes and did not get any. Once we got our checks, we ended up paying for each others items. Because the waitress took the order in a silly order, she confused herself and mixed up our tabs, which we split into 4 separate tabs. We also got back only 3 tabs and our 4th one never came to the table. It took 10 minutes for our tabs to be returned to our table. Never going again. Will take the extra drive somewhere else. read more

Always have great sushi here. Service is a little slow sometimes, but when I go I'm usually not in a hurry and am there to socialize and have a good time. read more

I was very disappointed with both the service and the food. I wanted to eat outside. The wait staff made eye contact with me as they were going inside after helping another table. I then waited and waited and waited until I had to go inside to get a menu. Then when my food came it was fine, but not worth the expense. I had an ice tea and pad thai for more then $17. Way too expensive! I admit that I'm from Chicago where you can get really good Thai food for cheap, but even if I wasn't used to that I would be disappointed with this place. read more

I have been here a few times now before writing the review. In general you can get better food for cheaper, and the quality isn't great. Last time I was there my wife and I had some sushi that wasn't very good and didn't taste fresh, and my noodles came out cold, stale and clumped together. The appetizers are okay, and with their happy hour it might be worth it, but around the corner is much better sushi and the Thai food can be found better. In fact, the Sawatdee in Minneapolis was much much better, so maybe it is just this location. read more

Service was unbelievably slow. Food was fine. The bar left a lot to be desired. I would probably not go back to this location. The other locations they have were much better. read more

The customer service in this location is terrible. Went for lunch. No one was ahead of me and it was about 1/3 full. I had 3 different wait staff walk past without acknowledging me. When I finally got seated, the server didn't show up until I was preparing to leave because I thought they had forgotten about me. When the food arrived, the server put it in front of me and left before I could ask for utensils. Since noodles are hard to eat with your fingers, I had to get up and walk around to ask random staff for chop sticks. Later I had to ask for a napkin and they delivered paper napkins. I then noticed that some other tables had cloth napkins and forks. I estimate my total contact time with the wait staff was less than a minute, including the time I had to go find them. The food is nothing special. Maple Grove has many other dining options within walking distance that are better choices. read more

HORRIBLE!!!! Only if I could give negative stars I would've with no hesitation. Should've turned around as soon as i seen the dirty glasses of water and nasty sticky silverware. Number 1 rule, if a restaurant isn't ashamed of letting you see how filthy their dishes are especially with the first things you see as a customer, you can only imagine what goes on in the kitchen. Which leads to next complaint, i ordered the Thai roast duck and panang curry.... yes i gave them the benefit of the doubt given their reputation which i regret.... the duck was extremely dry, I've had jerky that was juicier (no exaggeration), the curry was extremely oily and all i could taste was the green beans which they should've preboiled to rid of the strong flavor the skin of the beans project. Afterwards the waiter said that if i liked that curry dish try this other one blah blah blah what ever it was didn't pay attention because i knew I'd never return to any of their locations. Just a horrible horrible experience, very disappointed, glad some of you thought it was good, my first and last time definately, and yes i am very familiar with Thai dishes read more
