We ate a late lunch here on a Monday in March 2026. The restaurant was quite empty. The staff were quick, friendly and helpful with the selections. My wife had the Summer Pad Thai with medium heat (level 3). She loved it! I got the Roasted Duck Curry, which is a red curry, and I went with heat level 4 (of 5). The duck was tender and the vegetables were crisp-tender. The food arrived quickly and was steaming hot. This was a great dining experience!

Some of the worst Thai food I’ve ever had. There was 3 of us eating, the other two said their food was ok. I tasted theirs and I would say “ok” was accurate. I ordered tom Kah and it had zero flavor and the milk was curdled, I’m not exaggerating. 15 minutes later I finally was able to flag down the waitress (who was very sweet, just not very attentive), and I decided to swap for green curry to go since the others were done. It has giant chunks of random chicken in it, I’m kind of picky with chicken but seriously this looks like a rotisserie chicken threw up in it. The flavor is just ok, but the consistency is so off. I’m looking at it right now and there’s 1/4 inch of oil that’s separated on top. Long story short; I don’t recommend.

The panang curry and red curry are always amazing even as a take out. Lots of flavor, good spice levels, and generous amount of beans in the panang. I usually get the panang with tofu! Sometimes I wish there was more tofu, but it’s still really tasty overall. The pot stickers are good, too!

We ordered to go. The pad thai was full of oil. We ordered mild spice and it was too spicy to eat. The pad see yew was ordered with no spice at all. was borderline crunchy and spicier than my level 2 spice pad thai. I’ve eaten many Thai places it is my favorite food ever. This was horrible. Our check out guy was kind bubbly and absolutely wonderful. But after this second time of disappointing food I cannot recommend this place. It breaks my heart as the staff is so so so kind and amazing all around.

I’ve never been so disappointed in Thai food in the many years I have eaten it. I used to pick up orders there for a delivery service and always wanted to try it. Well, tonight I did. The Pho was only flavored with salt, and the shrimp were tiny, rubbery, and pre frozen. There were only sprouts and basil with two slices of Jalepeno for the veggies. Lemon was used and not Lime for the garnishing to add. The Pad See Ew was as basic as it comes. I would never pay for that food again. Save yourself the trouble and don’t go. The 4 stars that I did give is because it’s a place you would want to be if the food actually tasted good.

I’ve been trying to eat healthier and when I chose the Panama curry with veggies I was assuming it would just be a little bit of veggies in the curry like normally happens. OMG there were so many veggies and it was delicious. I also got the fresh spring rolls and they were equally amazing. Jules or Jewels was my server and loved him, had great recommendations and advice.

The service was incredible and the Thai for Two on Tuesday’s was a fabulous deal. Our server was kind and checked in the perfect amount. The food was really good. The unfried spring roll was so good! I want to go back and order a whole plate of those. I had the Dirty Shrimp, which was a bit strange and not a lot of edible food other than the shrimp itself. The flavor was wonderful though and I loved the sauce with rice. My daughter ordered the scallops and shrimp dish and that was so yummy! I would definitely come back to experience other dishes.

The potstickers were cold when they brought them out and they forgot to put shrimp in my chicken and shrimp dish and then instead of making the dish over they they just brought me a bowl of shrimp out which was fine. I guess the waiter was super nice but I don’t know if I would go back after that experience honestly and it’s strange because I’ve always had a good experience In the past

I’ve been coming to Sawatdee for years, and it honestly makes me sad to write this because the food used to be so good. Back in the day, their fried rice was hands down some of the best in the Twin Cities, but over time the quality has really gone downhill. It got to the point where I stopped ordering it altogether.
The only reason I’ve gone back recently is because I usually receive a birthday coupon, so I decided to give it another try and ordered Pad Thai for pickup. Unfortunately, it was probably the worst Pad Thai I’ve ever had. I’ve ordered this dish here before and it never tasted like this. I tried to eat it, but it was so off that I ended up throwing the entire bowl away. Even the small amount I did eat gave me an upset stomach, which was really disappointing.
I truly hope the restaurant can get back to the quality it used to have, because it was once really amazing.

The curry had an amazing flavor. We had a large party and I was a little disappointed that our food came out at all different times
but they did have noted that they were short staffed and at least the food was fresh when it got to the table. I definitely plan to go back to try more dishes.
