Had a lovely meal on our way through Emmaus heading to a show in Allentown. We were super impressed. The food was delicious and the service was unbelievable. The drunken noodles were delicious with a good amount of shrimp. American Hot was spicy but I could have handled Thai Hot. Luckily we were provided a spicy caddy to increase heat as we like. Nice feature. I would have preferred the tails to have been removed but maybe I'm just being picky. Panang curry had just the right amount of heat for my gf. Mild still has some heat. The coconut in this dish really makes it. Servers with plenty of Jasmine rice. We also had the appetizer sampler but it was gone before we took a pic. Oops. read more

excellent and delicious food and very consistent service and quality a nice ambiance for dining. If you are a fan of great home made Thai food you must visit. My son is a fan of Drunken noodles my wife is fond of the duck salad and Pad Thai. read more

Definitely one of the better Thai food places! The food is overall tasty. The decorations vary and the music consists of current pop music similar to a radio station. The staff was very polite and attentive but almost too attentive. I felt they were waiting for me to close my menu and as soon as I did came running over to take my order - I felt like I was being watched which was odd... The biggest down falls were the tables were super small so if you ordered an entree and one appetizer you were out of room. Additionally some of the tables were pushed all the way back to the vents of the heater. Drunken noodles - surprised about how much chicken was used, there's a lot of meat and veggies and not as much noodles but overall tasty Pineapple fried rice - tasty and enjoyed it House salad - peanut sauce and comes with tofu Spare ribs - it's decent, I've had better but not bad Thai ice tea - can't go wrong and great price for a decent size Portions are pretty good, and taste is overall very solid. The presentation with the flower is also a nice touch. Would consider this a top 3 tasting Thai place in the Lehigh area. The layout could be improved so people have more space (bigger tables and don't push tables to the heater against the wall) and give clients some freedom but check in once in a while. Food: 4.5/5 Service: 4/5 Ambience: 4/5 Enjoyed and would recommend! read more

The best Pad Thai I've had. Hands down. I want to try other stuff but I can't get enough.

Delicious food and friendly service! We had a great experience here and will definitely be back.

Papaya Salad was good. I would enjoy papaya salad more if icontained no shrimp. Green Curry with chicken and steamed rice medium spicy was good. Curry Puffs had no curry flavor because they were much larger than other Thai restaurants plus they did not contain enough filling. These curry puffs were deep fried...have never had deep fried curry puffs at other Thai restaurants. There were no other customers dining in during height of dinner rush. read more

Food is great here. Big portions and excellent presentation. I've eaten here many times. My favorite is the Seafood In Love. Drunken noodles is also good as well as the bang bang shrimp. Service is good and friendly. Ambiance is comfortable with an Asian theme of red and white. There is a nice bar that is well stocked and attended by locals. read more

Great spot. I've written many reviews about this place. I don't know why you keeps wanting me to write reviews. The algorithm needs to be changed. This is a great Thai restaurant. I would recommend it to anybody. The ambience is awesome. The service is great. And the food is great. read more

Food was great! Waitstaff were friendly and amazing! Dining room was nice and clean! We will be back next time we are in PA!

Ok so I don't review things very often, but this is great Thai food. Drunken noodles and pad thai are SPOT ON. The fact that they are now available on Gr*b H*b is literally the best food related surprise I've experienced in a long time. If you like Thai food and order out or dine in with Swadee Thai House you will be impressed, I promise. My experience: lived in nyc and ate at every Thai restaurant worth the trip. read more

Delicious Thai food, highly recommend their Bangkok chicken! Curries are also very good.

Simply the best Thai food in the Lehigh Valley. The family that owns and runs it is great and every dish is fantastic. The restaurant is in an old house and has a great atmosphere. read more

Okay so I'm pretty obsessed with this place and definitely have plans to return. My boyfriend and I stopped here before a night out at the emmaus theater...and let me just say, this is probably the best Thai place in the Lehigh valley. Everything we had was made to perfection. We had the drunken noodles, calamari and bang bang shrimp. Delicious and flavorful in every bite! Also, thus far..I'd dare to say some of the best calamari I've had in the valley. The batter they use for the calamari is pure YUM. I highly recommend this place! read more

I had the Drunken Noodles while eating in. The wait staff was helpful, attentive, and quick. The food is presented with a number of spicy chili sauces to experiment with in order to construct a more complex range of flavors. My noodles were absolutely amazing. These wonderfully cooked noodles were marinated in a spicy Thai sauce and the portion size was actually larger than anticipated when taking into account it being a noodle dish. This is my number one Thai place. read more

Love their curries especially pad phed. Great specials too. We usually do take out but it's surprisingly large inside as well. One of the best in the Lehigh Valley. read more

Yet another 5 star? Yep. The exterior doesn't look all that inviting. Go inside. Nice people. Tasty food. Wife had a Tofu and rice Curry. What a beautiful flavor. We shared. I had the Drunken Noodles with mixed veggies. Level 2 spiciness. Soooo good. We will be back. And we'll try level 3 spiciness. read more

Food was yummy and at an affordable price. There are other Thai restaurants in this area that are mediocre and double the price. Will be back soon! read more

Quick review on just the food and not the service because I don't place the order... Someone else does. Bottom line... Very good chicken krapow... Nice clean white meat and colorful veggies, unlike the colorless ones from other Thai restaurants. Good portions, too. Everything seems very fresh. I believe they don't have brown rice which is unfortunate. One complaint... Their pad Thai, a staple, is extremely bland. Nearly completely flavorless, which is quite a feat. They need to improve this. Their soups are good... And the curries, too. We'll keep ordering and hope they find a new pad Thai recipe fast. read more

Our favorite go-to authentic Thai food in Emmaus. We usually order pineapple fried rice, pad se-ew, shrimp and eggplant, Tom yum soup and Thai Spring rolls. The owner Jack and servers are very kind and generous with their portions. The bar and restaurant area are separated so it's always good and private to dine with family. read more

The food is amazing and both the quality and service are consistently exceptional! One of my favorite places to dine!

Have had a few different meals here both dine in and take out and every time they are fresh and tasty. Usually get spicy level 3 and it's just a perfect kick without it being too much. Prices are fair and serving size is good. Definitely recommend take out during covid as everything looks and tastes as good as if you were eating in the restaurant. read more

Great food, their coconut rice and their bang bang shrimp is delish! Must try, haven't disappoint!

I have eaten at Swadee and ordered from Swadee more times than I can count. Their food is absolutely amazing and the service is OUTSTANDING! 10/10 recommend! (Yes I ordered two meals, it's that good) read more

I stopped in on a whim. Wow! The food was very flavorful and delicious. I had THE best Tom yum soup. It was medium spice level and was plenty spicy. It hit the spot. The drunken noodles were fantastic! Portions were large but not over doing it. The staff and service were wonderful. Will definitely be eating there again. read more

I've had takeout from this restaurant several times but this was the first time dining in. The food was amazing as always. We had the lobster pad Thai which came with so much seafood and was a fair price for the portion size. The curry puffs are an awesome appetizer. We had the mango sticky rice for dessert which was awesome and the perfect end to the meal. read more

I like this restaurant. The food are good and tasty only downside for me, not spicy enough. But I can understand, some people says spicy but can't handle then threat to sue read more

Ordered from here for takeout. Food was ready quickly and packaged well to take home. Restaurant looks super welcoming and warm, wish it wasn't 2020 so we could eat inside. Dang it, COVID! I had beef massaman curry and thai calamari. Husband had chicken pad thai and bang bang shrimp. Everything was fresh and delicious, which is a big statement for takeout. I especially loved the curry. We forgot to say what spice level we wanted and they thankfully kept it mild. Next time we go we plan on trying any of their duck dishes, which sound incredible. Will absolutely be ordering here again. read more

I've been here 4 or 5 times now, and every time the service is weird and the food is just a little wrong from what was ordered. We walked in to lots of empty tables except the back room, and they seemed flustered for where we should sit. We were asked to follow and then stood awkwardly, and they removed a reserved sign from the table next to us so we sat down. They proceeded to clean an identical table next to us (why wasn't it already clean?) and we were unsure what to do, they eventually asked us to move to that one. We waited over ten minutes without menus, and another table came in and got menus right away. At this point we asked politely for menus and they acted surprised that we didn't have them. Their prices have gone us which is fine, don't mind paying for quality, but that includes the whole experience. We finished our drinks and sat with empty glasses until the end of our meal, almost half an hour. I finally left the table and flagged down someone and asked for a glass of wine for each of us and the check. He took almost ten minutes to bring us the check and forgot the drinks. I also ordered my food Thai hot and it came mild, the same as my moms. Disappointing. read more

Consistently delicious food, service and friendly staff! We're there all the time!!! Love this place!!!!

Great service & Tasty food! We had the sweet & sour chicken wings that came out piping hot and delish! Finger licking good. The main course of Mango Shrimp had loads of large shrimp, mangos , green and red peppers, carrots and onions. The favorable sauce melted in your mouth. Waiter made our birthday celebration special ! read more

We were a party of 4 and everyone enjoyed their meal. I had red curry shrimp, spice level 4. They offer each dish at spice levels of 1 (mild heat) to 4 which is the hottest. Being a lover of spicy food I appreciate that. My wife had level 1 and she was fine with that but said she would not want to try level 2. The level 4 was spicy but not overly so for my taste. The other couple did not ask for spicy. All came with jasmine rice which was very good and complemented the curry sauce. Service was very good without being overbearing. We will go back here. read more

Updated October '21 dined inside. Very cozy and casual and fast and the food is even better right out of the kitchen. Full bar too.

This is so far the best thai restaurant in the lehigh valley. As you enter you're greeted by friendly staff. The decor has a really nice ambience. It's nice that they have alcohol, I had a refreshingly cold Singha beer. Calamari are on the crispy side and with nice sweet chili sauce. Their soup is wonderful we had Kha gai has lots of flavor. I ordered a chef's special 3 flavor duck. The dish had good presentation, the duck meat was excellent, but I didn't care for the really sweet chili sauce, my young son loved it. Their panang curry was excellent and the flavors are really great. Nice desserts, we had sticky rice mango and fried ice cream. Having tried every thai restaurant in The Valley I would comfortably say this is the best one. read more

First time here. I started with the Tom Yum soup, a hot and sour variety. There are varying heat levels you can request. I went to the highest end of their threshold, "Thai Hot" - level four. This soup was tremendous. Wonderful flavors, and the heat level was exactly what I wanted. The heat level did not disrupt the flavor profile of the soup. There was plenty of thin sliced chicken and fresh veggies in the bowl. I also ordered the Drunken Noodles with Pork, Thai hot. The flavor was good, heat level was perfect. My issue was there weren't many noodles in the dish. It left me disappointed. I ordered noodles because I wanted noodles. The service was below average, however they are extremely nice. I will go here again, because the food is good, and I can see the potential. I liked the Tom Yum soup enough to come back. read more
