    Yellow Curry
    Joe R.

    We stopped into Swaddee Thai during a weekend trip to Coronado and were so glad we did! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming and we got seated right away. We ordered the Yellow Curry and it was a generous portion and tasted amazing. Service was friendly and quick, and everything felt fresh and made with care. You can tell this is a spot the locals love, and for good reason.

    Paradise Noodles
    Sofia G.

    Stopped by Swaddee Thai with friends, while we were in the area. I loved their outdoor sitting, It was very cozy with standing heaters and lights. Their panang curry was very coconutty, the paradise noodles were good though I've tried better in the SD area. Overall, Service was great with fair pricing for the Coronado area. A solid spot if you're craving Thai after the beach.

    Swaddee Thai was an overall decent experience. The food was good but nothing special. Ordered the standard pad thai and pad see ew - lacked any punch in flavors. It was still an enjoyable meal, but I've had better Thai food elsewhere. Probably wouldn't come back. The service was mediocre. Slower outside service, but outdoors seating is nice for fresh air. No designated parking area - street parking.

    Pineapple Fried Rice
    Leslie G.

    Very clean, tables are pretty close to each other, but the place wasn't packed since it just opened when we arrived. Thai tea was really good. I like the ice they used. Pineapple fried rice was okay. Panang curry was good. Som tum was good as well. The downside is the plates they serve on are cold, so our food cooked down super quick. It wasn't bad. But there's better in my opinion.

    Pad Snow Peas
    Reuben P.

    Hard to beat! We had Nam w Chicken which was Awesome #6 spice, Pad Snow Pea was Delicious & Fresh Summer Rolls which were to die for! A FANTASTIC lunch that met our every desire. Parking was a snap as they are part of the Crown Group. Next time we are in San Diego/Coronado we shall return! In a single word, OUTSTANDING!

    Ok it's officially a RIP OFF !!! They charged me 14.00 for 4 spring rolls ... well no it's two cut in half and then another 2.00

    So I got take out tonight and although it looks and smells good I was disappointed to open the bag only to find NO rice .... None not even steamed white rice. Even though I ordered curry and chicken basil, dishes that, you know need and usually come with rice ! So I looked at their menu and yep they don't come with rice !!! They charge anywhere from 3-4 dollars for a tiny cup of rice .... Well ok but you know tell me so I don't get home and have to make rice to eat my take out ! Lucky I had brown jasmine rice but I have to wait 45 mins to eat ... Also when you charge 58.00 for two entrees and spring rolls ... you could through in rice !!! Which costs ..... ????? Like .25 cents a cup ! Buyer beware ... I smell rip off !

    Dumplings
    Alison M.

    Yum! So glad we stopped in here. Some of the most delicious Thai food I've had in ages. Tucked on a corner one street black back from the main shops on Orange Ave, this place is a gem. We were easily and quickly helped and service was friendly and exceptionally attentive and polite. They were pretty booked for a middle of the weeknight dinner but easily seated us at a small table for two. We ordered steamed pork dumplings to start and chicken Pad Thai for me and a duck dish for my husband with Asian broccoli. Everything was so good. Really good flavors. Food was out quickly and our server was a sweetheart. We'll def come back for dinner here when we're in town next! It's cozy inside but clean and classy.

    Tom Yum
    Calina N.

    Date night? Hangout with friends? Family dinner? If you're craving Thai food and happen to be in Coronado, Swaddee is the perfect place to satisfy those cravings! My boyfriend and I walked in on a weekend night and were seated immediately. The decor and ambiance of the restaurant is perfect for any occasion and made me feel like I was in Thailand. The food itself was great! We shared a chicken pad thai and tom yum pot. The pot was smaller than expected but they loaded it up with plenty of protein. I'm also very picky about my pad thai. Usually 50% of the thai places I go to they make the noodles too dry so that the noodles stick together but this was just perfect! These two items were perfect for us to share and we weren't super hungry either. The prices were also incredibly cheap given the location and that it was dinner time. I highly recommended coming to Swaddee Thai!

    Jeanette C.

    We absolutely adore this place! The food is consistently outstanding, and the friendly staff makes every visit a delight. Plus, the combo meals are such a great deal! It's always a wonderful experience dining here!

    Hi, Does anyone know if new owners took over?? I want to love this place again. But the food is not tasting the same. Been going for over 8 years.

    Is reservation require?

    No. Just go. Check their business hours before you go. Also, they closed on Sunday and Monday.

    If anyone has been here over the past 7 years, have they changed ownership? Is the food the same?? Far as taste?

    I can't say I know about the ownership change, if any. I only found out about this restaurant for 2-3 years, it's still my must-go restaurant when we are in town. We always cleaned the plate. Food is always so good. Service is great too.

    Is this place closed?

    Swaddee is closed on Sundays and Mondays! Also from 3-5 in the afternoon every other day.

My friend and I shared a papaya salad, the duck curry, and the beef ribs. We both agreed the duck curry was the best, but the protein portion was a bit small. The curry was flavorful and not too spicy. The beef ribs were good as well, just not what we expected and was saucey. The papaya salad was decent. I felt like there was some flavor missing in it. We were both filled at the end of it. Overall not bad, a bit overpriced, and I feel like you can get more bang for your buck at a normal Vietnamese/ Lao restaurant. It was worth a try though!

With $1.50 oysters, it's almost like a no lose situation at this point so honestly, give it a try. That being said, oysters aren't the star of the show and that's crazy coming from someone who can eat 3 dozen oysters in one seating. Get the crab toast, it's magical. Get the happy hour burger, the sesame seed bun is the winner. The most memorable part of the meal?? The squash salad dish that was cooked to perfection. This was something I couldn't stop going back and honestly, I wanted to lick the plate clean. I would be mistaken though if I didn't mention the service. I truly wish I remembered her name, but she was the only one working that day (her name started with a K). She was so great and handled the whole floor like a pro.

Service was friendly from beginning to end. Seated quickly, first seating so everything was perfectly set up and clean. Love the feel of this restaurant, the simplicity reminds me of cafes in France. Oysters were on point and quick, raw scallop makes for a great pic, and crab toast is worth ordering multiples! I skipped the carbs by substituting lettuce for toast. And definitely squeeze the lemon all over your seafood, makes a huge difference. Parking is always "fun" in this area, but if you find one, stick around after and walk around the area. Great view of downtown San Diego across the street.

The food was exceptional…read more At first we thought the portions were small, but we were getting full halfway through our mains. Even though it was a dim sum style service, they still served the food in sequence (cold, hot, mains, dessert last) which was great. They also have cocktails available to order. Everything that came out tasted great, we particularly loved the Sinuglaw Oysters, Ensaladang Bulaklak, Chicken Arroz Caldo, Taiwanese Chicken, and Banana Coffee Cake. Pork Tocino was great too, although I wish it came with steamed rice (personal preference, lol) and the sawsawan it came with was delicious! Duck Confit Bao was greasy, but it tasted fresh and duck was cooked nicely too. We thought the Wagyu Wonton tasted okay, the portions were differently sized which was odd. Everything else tasted good. Parking is available across the street, about 2-3 mins walk. Valet is also available for $20. We were going to bring and infant and stroller but decided not to, which was great since the ambiance is more "adults only" which is not a bad thing. There were families who brought kids and strollers and it seemed to have worked out great, as Animae accommodated the strollers too. Our server Shanice did a fantastic job and took care of our needs very well. Overall the experience was great, Chef Tara is amazing. They even handed out roses for the moms which was very thoughtful. We will definitely come back here when we are in San Diego.
