Impressive! I was able to walk right in on a Monday evening after a long day at the hospital. I was greeted by a server with a beautiful smile. She suggested the Penang curry - a complete hit. It took about 10 minutes and I was presented with a fresh plate of piping hot curry vegetables and chicken. I also asked for the spice rack and the server kindly obliged my request. I would definitely rate this a 5/5 hidden gem that is worth the drive and the money. read more

Let's start by saying the restaurant sits back, a little off the main road and and isn't easy to see. However - there i plenty of parking. The main focus of my review however isn't the location - it's the food and the service. The food here is OVER the top!! Prices are reasonable and service is friendly. My husband had the Pho and I had pineapple fried rice and Pad Khing. We also had an appetizer, fresh Basil rolls. There is absolutely NO reason for us to go back to Greensboro for Pho or struggle to find parking at another Thai restaurant. Thai Sawatdee will be out Go-To from now on. Highly recommend!! Ask for Jenny!! read more

Stopped into this Thai place for a quick lunch since I was in the area and had never been. It's set back in a little shopping center that contains one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in Winston, so I figured why not? It's a small place, but service is good and it's comfortable enough for a quick meal. They have a lunch specials menu that is pretty good, several selections that range in price depending on your choice of protein. Also comes with a small greens salad, and 2 spring rolls. I chose a stir fry noodle dish, I can remember the exact name right now, but the sauce was a little too much on the sweet side for my liking. I had it with the roast pork, and though the pork did have a nice flavor, it was hard to overcome the sweetness of the sauce. The noodles also absorbed a lot of it, so in general, it just wasn't my bag. That said, pretty good deal, I might come back another time and try something else. Maybe a curry dish. read more

The food was absolutely delicious and reasonably priced. The location is a little whole in the wall mom and pops type restaurant. Very clean and very nice staff. I did not know that my meal came with a ginger salad and spring rolls but I devoured and the taste was amazing. Pho broth is very authentic and savory. The fresh basil rolls are to die for. Will definitely be back! read more

I'm sorry but that was the worst pad thai I've ever had. Chicken was way over cooked, noodles were bland .. and just tasted funny TBH. Just altogether not good. Overall I'm very disappointed. Was looking forward to a good meal. read more

This is legitimately my favorite pad thai of all time. Everything about it is awesome! Great umami flavor that pairs perfectly with the crunchy peanuts and peanut sauce. Personally i love it with the tofu over chicken or beef. House fried rice is also really good. Great flavor and healthy portion read more

Thai Sawatdee - Salad and spring rolls - Thai Near Me - Winston-Salem, North Carolina

I love good Thai food, this wasn't it. We got chicken Pad Thai and Penang chicken and rice. The place was empty except for one couple and the owner at 5:30 on a Saturday and we should have left at that point. The order came out quickly, since they weren't cooking for anyone I couldn't expect any less. The Pad Thai was too sweet but okay and the Penang was more like a coconut soup, not thick like the Penang we have had a number of times in a lot of different places. We brought this out to the owner and she said that some places add stuff to it....hmmm, yes like love, but this wasn't it. We are in search of a great Thai place, if you know of one in our area please PM me. read more

Disappointing experience. Place was pretty empty on a Saturday night so that was a heads up right there. Ordered panang Curry, hoping for the delicious peanut nutty rich sauce we love, nope! It was a weak broth with no flavor. We even nicely addressed that with our server but it was just explained off quickly. The pad Thai was good , just on the sweet side. Well....onward on our journey to find a good Thai place. read more

This restaurant refers to itself as WS's "premier Thai restaurant", so I thought I'd see if that is, in fact, the case! I had read enough reviews and seen enough pictures to believe that the claim might well have some basis, even though going against outstanding competition such as Chiang Mai Thai and Basil Leaf Thai - the game is on! The interior is bright and colorful, and is small and rather narrow, in a rectangular shape. There is plenty of sunlight from the large front windows. There are some attractive wall decorations and vases and figurines scattered around. I ordered the Thai Sawatdee Appetizer platter, to be followed by the crispy Cornish Hen. I settled for sweet tea since they do no offer alcohol here. The appetizer platter consisted of 2 pieces each of Chicken Satay, Crab Rangoon, Golden Shrimp, & Golden Triangle. The satay skewers were massive, indicating this was more a pressed item than a naturally cut one, resulting in a chewy texture, which the various sauces and spice tray items helped only marginally. The other items on the platter were all overcooked rendering the fillings rather tough and tasteless. I definitely would not reorder this platter or any item on it. The Cornish Hen suffered much the same fate from overcooking - it was dry, tough, and was missing any real flavor. A good amount of a variety of the sauces & spice tray helped, but this is just masking the underlying blandness. This meal was way below my expectation, but perhaps the problem was that I chose something other than a classic Thai dish. I will come again and try some more traditional choices ( a noodle dish, or a stir fry) and see how that turns out. At this point I can't support the claim mentioned above! read more

Another bad experience. I guess based on the reviews we are just unlucky. As in my previous reviews the food was good but portions noticeably smaller. Service was again an issue. Ordered through DD and the dasher waited for over 10 minutes for order and then left. Second dasher arrived only to be told order was already picked up. When she told them that it had not they then said they just received the order (50 minutes after order was confirmed). Dasher was great and waited for them to make the order and we got our order after 1 hour 20 minutes waiting. Just messed up. read more

I've ordered from here about 15 times. No frills but always solid. I usually get pho or curry and the ingredients always are fresh. I've never sat in and eaten but have enjoyed the consistency of the togo orders. read more

So sad to be writing this but I feel like I should warn people. Called the health department about this today. This thai place had a special place in my heart. We always LOVE the food from here. Got Thai food last night and this was in the curry. Needless to say we won't be going back. So sad because I really loved this place! But man gotta get the roaches under control read more

Thai Sawatdee - Thai Near Me - Winston-Salem, North Carolina

Not a bad deal, the lunch special at this Healy Drive establishment. For ten bucks I ordered pad woonsen with roast pork, accompanied by two spring rolls, a small salad, and a scoop of steamed rice. The noodles are just one of several options on the lunch menu, and there are other protein options available (most except seafood at the same price), but I can certainly vouch for the flavor of the roast pork. The wide range of vegetables in the glass-like noodles was also impressive and added to the flavor and texture of the dish. I also enjoyed the spring rolls, and they were so warm that I nearly burned myself with the first bite! Getting seated was a bit slow, even though there was only one other guest present when I arrived. The sole diner saw me waiting quite a while, as there was no staff present in the dining area for several minutes, and she interrupted her own experience to suggest that I phone the staff to get their attention. Before I could do so, someone finally emerged from the kitchen to welcome me. After that initial delay, service was much more prompt throughout the meal. Business picked up substantially as I finished, so it also took more time than I hoped to settle the bill. While the location is small, when it's busy they could definitely use the support of additional servers rather than relying on just one person to cover the front of house. The decor is dated here, and the tables are small with their edges pinned against a wall, which explains some of the scuffs on those painted wall surfaces. I didn't find that things were dirty, but I wouldn't call the ambiance distinctive either. A little freshening up and a little more space for diners would help. So I wouldn't necessarily come here for a date or a special night out. But a quick and filling lunch? Thai Sawatdee fits that scenario just fine...as long as they get to you in time. 3.5 stars, but I'd easily bump it up to 4 or more without the delays and with nicer decor. read more

This is my first time and slightly disappointed. I ordered fried rice with shrimp, there was plenty of rice? But only put 4 shrimp in with the rice and had to wait til he acknowledged I was standing . Did not like the rice. read more

Patchy food quality, but when its good its not bad, it all depends on who's day off it is I guess...

The food is amazing. Service is wonderful but inside a grocery store but food is worth every minute inside. A few tables

Very traditional Thai food with consistent flavor no matter the day or time you order. This location along with the one inside Harris Teeter on Cloverdale Rd. are somewhat hidden. I only learned about this restaurant because of friends who highly recommended it! My go-to items are always the fresh spring rolls as an appetizer and sticky rice with mango for dessert. As far as the entree, it depends on what I'm in the mood for, but have never been disappointed. Most recently I ordered the spicy noodles with chicken and was pleasantly surprised by the heat index, it was just right. If you prefer super spicy though you can request "Thai Hot". But get your glass of water ready, because it's the hottest version of Thai Hot I've come across in comparison to other Thai restaurants. If you order during lunch hours you will receive complementary springs rolls and soup. Always a nice treat! They have a selection of Pho as well which I'm often found ordering. Customer service is great and food comes quick! read more

Great Thai food- we love all the curries here, as well as the classics like pad Thai and spring rolls

First time here! They have a variety of dishes that were both new and familiar. I tried the Tom Kha soup which is a coconut chicken soup with vegetables which I would strongly recommend. I did have to add some spice to it to make it just right. I also tried the Pao Chicken dish. It was spicy but worth it. If you're looking for a little spice than this is the dish for you. The decor is comfortable like a mom and pops place, nothing flashy. Sometimes it's-good to travel out of the traditional American cuisine. read more

Lunch special was a lot of food for the price! Chicken Pad Thai was delicious! Definently recommend!

Stopped in for an impromptu lunch after a doctor's appointment. I thought it looked familiar from a dinner a few years ago, and I was right-- this place has fantastic Thai food! They offer a special lunch menu along with their full menu Monday- Friday from 11am-3pm. On this visit, I opted for the Spicy Noodles with tofu (don't knock it 'til you try it!). It's a dish that consist of stir fried flat noodles, Thai chiles, onions, veggies, garlic, scrambled up eggs, and of course, tofu. I love me some heat, so I ordered mine extra spicy. The lunch special comes with two spring rolls, and a small side salad. Definitely more than enough food to fill you up, and oh-so-good. It was a pure luck that I stumbled upon this hole-in-the-wall find, and I am so glad I did! If you're in the area, I highly recommend you give it a shot! read more

I can't the ratings that customer had given this restaurant. I cant fault them for their service and ambiance, but the food is not Thai, it's watered down thai food. The calamaries was tough as rubber, the green curry was watery and they did not provide you with bowls for the Thai coconut soup. I was so disappointed with food after paying almost $1k for a family of 15. Thai food at the local food court had more value for money. Other than the good service and the nice ambiance, i would never come here or authentic Thai food. read more

Always awesome. Continually great food and service. Great gluten free options and knowledge.

Excellent food and great service. More of a casual lunch spot than a nice dinner restaurant.

Sat down with my young son to eat lunch here. The one waitress for the whole floor was so kind to us and accommodating. Our meal experience was very fluid and the food was so tasty. Very good Thai food, the best in Winston Salem for sure. We got the basil rolls, Nam Prig Pow Chicken and the mango dessert. It was very delicious, and my son liked it. I recommend this place over any other "Thai" place in the area. Also. Not to mention with the rising prices of eating out, this place is fairly reasonable for the portions and quality of food. read more
