" I attended a family gathering at Sawatdee last week. The environment was friendly, and the food was delightful. We enjoyed a variety of dishes, including drunken noodles and curries. However, it was a bit stale around the corners of the restaurant and could use some freshening up. Service was on the slower side too, but the food really shined through. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a wonderful time dining at Sawatdee. The vegetarian options are plentiful and delicious! I specifically loved the green curry and the pad see ew. Both dishes were fragrant and packed with flavors. The atmosphere is pleasant, making it the perfect spot for catching up with friends. The service was friendly, even during a busy Friday night. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic little spot for Thai food! The restaurant is usually busy, which says a lot about its quality. The lunch special is a steal, and I indulged in a red curry dish that had just the right amount of spice. I also enjoyed the service overall, as wait staff was polite and efficient. I'll probably be a regular in the future! " (*Curated Review*)

" Nice Thai food! I've been on a mission to find a place that serves decent drunken noodles, and I’m happy to say I've found it at Sawatdee! The flavors are fresh, and the noodles have a great texture. There’s also a reasonable amount of spice...just how I like it. I would say it’s a reliable choice for Thai cravings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Although the food was decent, there was an unexpected smell in the restaurant during my visit, which detracted from the experience. I ordered the pad thai, but it was not on par with other Thai restaurants I've frequented. The service could also use some improvement; we waited far too long for our drinks. I think with a bit of effort, this place has a lot of potentials. " (*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*)
