" tried Sawatdee last night and it was quite the experience! I was impressed by the freshness of the ingredients in the dishes we ordered. The curry puff appetizers were a great start and my green curry main dish was well-balanced in flavors. My only nitpick would be the waitstaff needing a bit more training—it took a while to get the check and processing our payment was slow too. But I would still return for the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I eat at Sawatdee, I feel like I'm getting a taste of Thailand! The flavors are on point, especially in their curries. Everything I've tried has been fresh and satisfying. My only complaint would be some days the service is not as attentive as I would like it to be. On my last visit, I had to ask for the check multiple times. Nonetheless, I will continue to return for that delicious food! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Sawatdee Thai restaurant sticks to the basics and executes them quite well. I visited on a random Tuesday, and my expectations were low. To my surprise, the drunken noodles were on point, with the perfect balance of spice. The atmosphere was lively but not overwhelming, perfect for a casual dining experience. However, my server was less than helpful when it came to menu recommendations, almost seemed disengaged. Expect good food but don't expect a friendly server. Still, I would recommend. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, just wow! This place exceeded my expectations. The flaming beef salad had a surprising kick to it, which I loved! My companions raved about their massaman curry. We sampled a bit of everything, and I'm glad we did because the flavors were rich and authentic. The restaurant was beautifully decorated and made for an enjoyable dinner outing. Service was quite good, and our server was attentive without being intrusive. I'll definitely be coming back to explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Sawatdee for the first time last week, and I must say, it was a mixed bag. The food was decent but nothing spectacular. The yellow curry was on the sweet side, lacking the depth of flavor I expected. Service was decent, but my server was overwhelmed during the dinner rush, which made the experience a bit less enjoyable. I'd give them another try since it has potential, but I hope the flavors are bolder next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Sawatdee is both my partner's and my favorite Thai place! The variety of vegetarian dishes is a major plus, and we often get the pad see ew and veggie curry. Everything is always flavorful with just the right kick! The only downside is that the service can be slow during peak hours. But honestly, it’s worth the wait for such authentic flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at Sawatdee is fresh and the curries can definitely hold their own! However, service is somewhat hit or miss. I’ve had very attentive servers, but last time I went, it took ages to flag someone down for the bill. Their different spice levels are a fun touch! I’d recommend it overall for anyone wanting quality Thai food. " (*Curated Review*)
