Although, it's pricey, but some of the best Thai food you can find in town. I love their spring rolls, but mostly because the peanut sauce is worthy of drinking. Angel wings are not to be missed. If you love, a new and delightful crispy treat. Curry is always perfect, I've never had a disappointing item on the menu.

Cashew chicken too spicy for me but not for my husband. Pad Se-Ew was a little too much meat to noddle ratio and needed a little more flavor. Only broccoli and one little slice of onion. But the house chili sauce made it be to my liking. The Thai iced tea was too sweet for me. Service was great ambiance was

Brought a bottle of wine. Outside of Thailand this is one of the best Thai’s we’ve had. Appreciate the family feel and the heavy portions of vegetables ??

Our server was nice, but she never checked back in with us. One dish was too salty (inedible) and we never had a chance to ask for it to be made again. The other 3 dishes were delicious. It took a long time to order and to get our check as well.

Came to this restaurant based on the 4 star on yelp. Food is mediocre at best. Ordered the Tom Kha soup on a clay pot. This soup is supposed to be very hot but the soup was barely luke warm. The clay pot was not heated. The onion and celery in the soup were hard. Looks like they just poured the vegetable in the soup and just served it. Also ordered the pad Thai. It was extremely plain, no taste at all. Also ordered the Panaeng curry. The curry sauce tastes ok at best. Again, the green bean and carrot and all the vegetable were extremely crunchy and not cooked. Food was totally not acceptable as a Thai restaurant. I gave 2 star because the staff were attentive. Would not recommend

I love Sawasdee Soquel. I’ve been going here for years and the food is consistently good. The vegetables are always very fresh and the flavors are very tasty. I especially love their fresh springs rolls and drunken noodles!

Parking: I generally go there at off times so I can get a spot in their parking lot but if it’s busy you’ll have to park on the nearby street. No big deal at all. Well worth the short walk.

I ordered Pad Thai to take out. The sauce tasted like catsup. The take out orders were very small, seemed mm ucg smaller than the eat in dishes.

Amazing family owned dining experience. I had a little bit of an upset stomach when I came in. Was served a very comforting noodle dish that actually helped. Very amazing waitstaff.

After many visits over the years to what was perhaps the best Thai restaurant in the County, my last experience was lackluster. The Tom Kha was void of authentic white mushrooms, and the most important ingredient - lemongrass. Chopped up celery must have been tossed in before serving as it was raw. The second dish, a panang curry, was too thin. It may be a while before returning.

It was an okay experience. Food was not up to par, as someone with lots of experience with different asian cuisine. The curry was like soup, veggies were slightly undercooked. Pad see ew was like eating a dessert, way too sweet. Service was poor. Many people waiting, including us, and one table (seemed to be friends with manager or owner), received all their food before other people around them. Overall poor experience, will not be going back. Also they charge $5 for rice, just make it at home and save yourself $5.

Pretty good Thai food. I came here because it was nearby and the food is good! The owner came over and talked with us and it seems like he's in touch with his customers. Nice guy!

This lovely restaurant was open on Christmas. They were packed. The food, service and ambiance were perfect. This is my go-to Thai restaurant.
