Sawasdee Thai Cuisine

The food was great. Was out to table very fast. Waitress was friendly and kept glasses full. Great place for date night with wife will definitely be back to try other dishes

we have only been here a few times and that was enough. Food is ok, but that is about all I can say for it.

Ate here last night. I had the seafood pad Thai and my girlfriend had the coconut curry chicken with rice. We also had the Rangoon. All the food was great, service as prompt, and place was clean.

Worst Thai I have ever had. Food is just horrible. If you have ever had real Thai food you would never eat here.

The Pad Ki Mao was delicious — sweet, savory, the right amount of spice, and delicious vegetables. The service was prompt and friendly. Great crab Rangoon too!

Delicious and authentic Thai food. We had the chicken satay (good) to start, but the red curry and jungle curry were awesome. Especially the jungle curry– I’ve never had a Thai curry that wasn’t coconut milk based– we found a fresh strand of green peppercorns in the jungle curry and each tried one little peppercorn– delicious, and added so much flavor to the broth. Excited to try more dishes here.
I do wish that they had brown rice as an option for health nuts like me, even if we have to pay a little extra.

The décor is beautiful and the restaurant is super clean! The menu is easy to read and service was fast and friendly. The restaurant is set up for both intimate dates and larger parties.
The food was delicious and we will definitely go back. Before visiting, I had read the other reviews about spice. Unlike many Thai restaurants that add a lot of spice into even their mild dishes, this one holds true to mild being mild/​no spice. I ordered the Pad Kee Mow and asked for a little bit of spice… it was perfect. My boyfriend ordered the Sam Rod Crispy Duck and it was not hot enough for him. We took this as a «now we know how to order».
I spent the entire evening staring at my boyfriends plate (not that mine was not delicious because it was). It was gorgeous! Brilliant colors of the fresh vegetables surrounding the crispy duck. Even the sauce was a glowing. It was as visually appealing at it was tasty.
We also ordered the Basil Fried Chicken wings as an appetizer. They were crispy on the outside with a sticky garlic basil sauce, and moist and tender on the inside.
Portions: fantastic. Neither of us finished our full meals.
Prices: fantastic. $ 34 for our entrees and appetizer. We both drank only water.
The only reason I’m giving 4 stars is because my dish had what appeared to be canned mushrooms instead of fresh. I can only imagine that this isn’t the norm (produce mix up? forgot to order? ran out?). Everything else was amazingly fresh from the Chinese broccoli to the basil.

I was there a week back for dinner, celebrating the first snowfall! We ordered straight away the ‘Yellow curry Chicken fried rice’. Well, I would start saying that it was DELICIOUS. It looks alike the Chinese style chicken fried rice, but the flavour is too different. This one is deep yellow in color (I assume some secret sauce being included ;)) and tastes really good. The quantity n price are different for lunch and dinner. For dinner, you get really good quantity sufficient for two. On a whole. LOVED the yellow curry chicken fried rice. For Indians, its a really good try to give it a break to the regular chicken biryani!!! Must try!

I went again last week with a friend and the food was better. We had Pad Thai, spicy green beans, and I took a house fried rice and pad kee mow to go. Pad Thai was pretty good, the spicy green beans were a huge disappointment as they were not spicy at all, red curry sauce was OK though, and since I asked for spicy I expected to be sweating a least a little bit, but no, not sweat, no runny nose at all.
The server never checked back on how the food was and they do not give the traditional chili/​spice condiments on the table here, so I had bland ‘spicy’ food… how sad! The Kee mow and fried rice were pretty good, though the rice did not really have anything in it except scrambled eggs and a few pieces of tofu, the cilantro could not be found… I was expecting a more traditional Thai Fried rice which usually does.
I would have given four stars except that the service was not very good and the spice level is completely underrated.

My wife and I came here for dinner we have been here before at the Pride priorty restaurants but this was a new experience and the first one for us at this restaurant. The food was extremely good and I would definitely recommend this restaurant for anyone to try for the first time or go back on multiple times.

Hit it up for lunch, Massaman Curry rivals the best I’ve had in the country and the Pad Thai was on point also. Unlike HBT it’s open on Mondays and the lack of it being crazy busy was a positive also. Kicking myself for forgetting to order the Thai Iced Coffee as it would have definitely hit the spot. Will definitely go again as it’s neck and neck with my other go to Thai spots.

One the better thai places in the KC area and it’s not overly expensive. If you order «Thai Spicy,» they mean SPICY. If you enjoy spicy, I suggest getting the «spicy» and if you like it, move up from there in the future. I still haven’t figured out if their spiciness level is always consistent but I’ll edit if I find that it’s not.
Their noodle dishes are consistently delicious and its not overly sweet like many other Thai places in the area.
Their soups are pretty good and a $ 6 soup can give us 4 small bowls — a perfect size to start off a meal. Keep in mind their Tom Yum can be very spicy while the same spiciness level with their Tom Kha can be mildly spicy because of the coconut.
Their «Sam Rod Crispy Duck» is pretty good. It’s deep-​fried duck (which can be a bit dry) over a sweet sauce with a kick.
Their mango sticky rice is delicious but it is seasonal.

This is my favorite Thai restaurant… hands above all others. Very nice atmosphere, superb food and service. I would recommend it to all.

Beautiful décor, delicious food, friendly and prompt service. I enjoyed their Satay Chicken appetizer and Panang curry with steamed rice. If you’re looking for Thai food, I would look no further.

Let me start off by saying this: the only reason I did not give five stars is because of their phone system. We tried to get takeout early last Friday night. The phone rang, rang, and eventual went to voicemail. Weird, right? We called again. Same thing. We ended up going some where else.
Ordered take out last Sunday. It was awesome. I ordered the Panang curry and veggie spring rolls. I ordered the curry, because it is always a good indicator of how good the restaurant is. I was not disappointed. I would agree with previous comments that they have some of the best and freshest curry in the area.
I look forward to ordering other things on their menu.

I love this place! I’ve come by several times with my boyfriend, and have had delicious food every time. We recommend the crispy duck or any of the curries, especially the panang! Careful though, even the mild version has a bit of a kick to it. :)
The atmosphere is always nice and clean, with a relaxed vibe. The staff is quiet, but very kind and always has good recommendations. The prices are reasonable and the portions are pretty large.
Highly recommend!

I told my husband that we probably ordered the wrong things and he didn’t agree. Either way, not a good sign at any restaurant.
Craving Tom Yum Soup (which was actually the only good thing we ordered), we headed over here with a groupon in hand. Along with the soup, we ordered the Thai Chicken Noodle salad and the Ginger Stir Fry with Shrimp (our server’s suggestion). The noodles in the salad were overcooked and kind of gummy and the rest of the ingredients were a bit bland. The Ginger Stir Fry just didn’t have a lot of flavor to it either. We also ordered a side of Veggie Fried Rice for our kids (who wouldn’t touch it) and that was probably the best entrée we ordered!
I’d be willing to try it again, maybe for lunch, but I don’t think my husband would rush back with me.

Another great option for Thai food around the OPKS area. Sawasdee serves up the Thai favorites you’d expect and some unusual specialties too. I found this place thanks to a Groupon and found myself returning even without the discounted to-​go voucher.
In each of my Thai food reviews I try to make a «curry to curry» comparison. Sawasdee doesn’t disappoint. Our multiple trips here, I have sampled their panang, yellow, green, and red curries. None of these are too much different than other Thai restaurants, but they bring a great flavor and «zing» that not all other joints offer. At 11 bucks for chicken or beef, the price point is similar for similar amounts of food. One drawback here — we ordered curry to-​go on three occasions here and were served three different amounts in the same plastic container. I would guess we had two — three fewer ounces the second time vs the first, and one ounce less on the third visit. I like the price point and the amount of food you receive provided it’s a similar amount each time. You wouldn’t want a 16 beer with only 13 ounces inside, right?
We will definitely be back to Sawasdee in the future. It stacks up well against similar Thai places around the area. It’s definitely in my top three Thai places around along with Sweet Siam and Pad Thai.

I was excited to see another Thai restaurant open in this location in my neighborhood, and even more excited when I tried the food! I have dined in and carried out. All excellently prepared. The spice level is higher here than many other places, but that does not offend me. I do stick to ordering medium heat (and bringing tissues with me).
The spring rolls and Sawasdee rolls are refreshing. The coconut milk based curries are creamy and delicious. Last night I tried the Sam Rod for the first time and was delighted by the sweet and sour taste, and they did not skimp on the meat either, always a plus in my book. The only dessert I have tried is the mango sticky rice, mostly because it is so good I can’t get myself to deviate from getting it!
I also love the Thai Iced Tea, but I ask for the cream to come on the side so I can customize it to my own sweetness preferences. I love that they will accommodate me this way. A very friendly place tucked away in a great location ;). Worth the trip!

I live nearby and stopped in at Sawasdee soon after it opened. The space has housed a succession of Thai restaurants that have opened and closed over the past decade.
This incarnation is spacious and attractively decorated. The «booth» seating actually consists of back-​to-​back benches with triangle-​shaped cushions separating them and serving as the back rests. It looks very smart but the cushions are loose so they slide around and provide no back support at all. You may want to sit at one of the tables with standard chairs if that sounds more comfortable to you.
I was in at an off hour and the place was virtually empty. I was hungry and wanted something filling, as well as an opportunity to try the food at this new place, so I ordered the pad thai, asking for it medium hot. That’s what I got — a nice sized portion, well-​seasoned and not excessively sweet, which is just the way I like it! Service was OK and friendly but not really notable. Of course, the place was quite new when I ate there and by now it should have settled down and found its groove.
I’ll be back — it’s nearby and reasonably priced and if my pad thai was any indication the rest of the menu is likely to be delicious and well-​prepared, too.
