Good food, nostalgia. We are from the St Cloud area where there was a Sawadee that closed at least two years ago. It's exactly the same menu, excellent. The restaurant itself was completely empty. The two of us were the only people there for 45 minutes. Maybe this is more of a take-out place for locals? That considered, it was exactly as expected. I almost forgot the expo robot that attempted to deliver our food. It got lost on the way, stuck in between tables. Again, we were the only people in the establishment. Why there was a robot to do half of the job the only server here did, I don't know. Silly.
As an Asian grown up in Asia, Don’t go to this place. This is the worst green curry I’ve ever had. No fresh vegetables except the beans, other than that there’s just a poor amount of frozen diced carrots. The so-called spice level is just the amount of chili flakes added on top of the dish and didn’t change the original spiciness in the dish.
Dropped in for a late lunch and it was wonderful! The service was very warm and helpful and the broccoli fried rice and pad thai were v tasty
All I can say for this place is... AWESOME!!!! The food was great and had a lot of options for appetizers and main dishes. Didn't look at the soups. Service was quick. We got seated, and for 15 minutes to 20 minutes, we had our food. Appetizers came out before the main dishes right on time. There are a lot of great things to look at when you are sitting. Different pictures, statues, wood carvings, and wall fixtures. Wheelchair accessibility: I don't know if this place is wheelchair friendly, but I didn't look for it.
Rude server who complained about where we sat (when they have seat yourself) sign. The food was awful. None of the dishes we ordered tasted how other Thai restaurants make them. I highly recommend other locations or skip this company all together.
One of my favorite Thai restaurants: chicken wings are amazing; chicken pad Thai is delicious, Rice noodle soup (level 3 spice) is incredible. Don't hold back. Try different items on the menu and enjoy!
They just keep offering the ‘summer pad thai’ and it just keeps coming out a disaster, just like the spring rolls. Clearly cheap ingredients, no thought goes into the dishes and the summer pad Thai is served in a literal LAKE of oil and sauce. I sent it back last time but just didn’t have the heart to this time. Will not be back
Food was deliciously prepared and waitress was so kind and attentive. We had a great brunch and a good time with family. Try the state fair egg rolls, they are amazing.
Delicious food and drinks with wonderful and friendly service.
Food was costly and felt bland. Didn't have the Thai spice, nor was it hot(temperature). Just one server who looked tired and overworked.
We are here before a show at the Gutherie Theater. The place was completely empty except for a few tables which was shocking to us since there was a show in 90 minutes. Now we know why. The waitress was very short and spoke over us when we addressed her. The food was very poor. The Panang red curry was greasy with no coconut milk in it. When we asked the waitress about it she pointed out a drop of coconut milk that was resting on a green bean and stated there’s the coconut milk. The stir fry was super cheap with the vegetables 80% white onion and water chestnuts with a few button mushrooms thrown in. Rice was luke warm. Will never eat there again
I totally recognize that it was Christmas Eve, and someone who might have had to work, didn't want to - well this was quite evident with our server. From the beginning, she acted like we were a big bother, didn't really want to help us, made exasperated sounds, and the minute the clock struck 9p, she turned the lights on really bright and had our bill ready urging us to get out of the restaurant. It wasn't an enjoyable holiday experience at all - and while I have always loved Sawatadee, I'm going to find another Thai restaurant in the future. I have even been buying off of Door Dash for a long time, but the quality just isn't the same as it used to be. It was a disappointing evening for me and my family, who were trying to enjoy the holiday together.
Yummy food from a Minnesota business woman and family owned. Great service. Really enjoyed the green lip mussels.
Just TRASH! I ordered level 5 spice and got chili flakes in my fried rice. The type for pizza. I asked for wings to be well done and they were pink... HOW ARE DEBONED WINGS PINK?? YUCK!!!!!! I will never go back there and they cannot fix it. This is just how they serve the food! If I get salmonella from biting into that wing I'm gonna lose my sgit! Wing had no flavor... no fish sauce no salt,soy,five spice... NOTHING YALL ARE TRIFLING AF!
All the food we've ever had from Sawatdee has been delicious, but the reason we go again and again is to get the "Paradise Chicken Wings" (which are an architectural wonder because we have no idea how one stuffs a chicken wing never mind stuffs them as full as these are filled) and "Sue's Egg Rolls" (which we feel are among the best in the Twin Cities maybe even the best).
Very good service, food came out quick, great atmosphere, but food was only ok.
