We got delivered the chicken satay, pad see iew ("ew"?), and the chef's special salmon curry. The chicken satay was par for the course. I've had better, but that's not to say it was disappointing. The pad see ew was delicious with the lightly charred chewy noodles. It was prepared just right. I have not had this dish in about a year so I might have been a little biased. But you can't go wrong with wok-seared pad see ew! Lastly, the "chef's special Salmon curry" was simply the best of the lot! It may look like a generic red curry, but it had that something extra, that "je ne sais quoi" so to speak, that differentiated it from just another red curry with fish. It was delicious and I would have this again in a heartbeat!

This use to be my go to Thai restaurant, but the prices have skyrocketed and the quality of the dishes has gone down. The food has become bland. The spicy noodles use to be so flavorful, now they're just hot and spicy. The food has really become one dimensional. Service is OK if you dine in, but it's become increasingly difficult to phone in an order. No one answers the phone!! It's easier to order online, but I'm looking for a new restaurant to satisfy my cravings for Thai food.

Disappointed with the food. Ordered red Thai chicken curry- sauce was watery, about 5 little tiny pieces of chicken smaller than bite size, old mushrooms, old peppers and nothing else. Stir fried rice had burnt egg, randomly sized pieces of meat and what looked like frozen peas & carrots like you would find in a frozen grocery section. Not impressed. Won't be back.

We love Sa Wad Dee. Their food is delicious and always prepared well when we order to go. They have a wonderful selection of curries and the food is always incredible. It is our go-to spot for Thai!

Good food, decent prices. Sometimes not so great with service especially when they mess up on your orders so I try not to order here too much anymore

I've been here before several years ago and I enjoy my food. This time I ordered takeout and unfortunately the food was mediocre. I placed an order over the phone and was told it would take 25 minutes. When I got home and opened up everything, the noodles looked dry like it had been sitting in the takeout containers for awhile before I picked my food up. Here are the items I ordered: 1. Thai iced tea: very good, a little too much ice do my drink tasted watered down and wasn't sweet enough for me, but it may be perfect for others! Regardless it was refreshing! 2. Pad Thai with pork: it was ok, not the best but not the worst pad Thai I've ever had. They were generous with the peanuts, but wish they added more sauce so it has a bolder flavor. I still enjoyed it and the crunch from the bean sprouts was good! 3. Pad kee mao: a bit disappointing to be honest. It was too dry and the flavor didn't stand out. The noodles weren't soft like it was freshly cooked. Maybe that's just the how the noodle is like... but I prefer the wide Ho fun noodles. This dish is best when it has a nice wok taste from cooking in high heat, but I didn't taste it in this dish here. 4. Pattaya Seafood Green Curry: I had high hopes for this curry dish. Unfortunately it was too watery and had more liquid than seafood. This curry came with salmon pieces, mussels, scallops and shrimp, but of course frozen seafood. I was disappointed with this dish and probably will not order again. Sorry! Parking: street parking only. No private lots. Recommend parking around the corner in the residential area.

I have to say the crab fried rice here is really good. The rice is not oily and the crab is fresh!

This is the best Thai restaurant in the Bayarea. My dad used to bring me here when I was a little girl so this is definitely my favorite place to eat. There food is alway fresh and hot and the flavor on point. I just tried thia ice tea for the first time and im hooked now.
Great food and while there can be a wait time it is always worth it. Pad Thai and Thai iced tea are my favorite but this is a good place for adventurous foodies as well!

Yellow curry is great. I get in and out quickly and they are always pleasant.

Great Thai food before Covid but the quality has definitely suffered in the last 6 months. Still a good meal with lots of good menu choices.
