I’ve been coming to Sawatdee for years, and it honestly makes me sad to write this because the food used to be so good. Back in the day, their fried rice was hands down some of the best in the Twin Cities, but over time the quality has really gone downhill. It got to the point where I stopped ordering it altogether.
The only reason I’ve gone back recently is because I usually receive a birthday coupon, so I decided to give it another try and ordered Pad Thai for pickup. Unfortunately, it was probably the worst Pad Thai I’ve ever had. I’ve ordered this dish here before and it never tasted like this. I tried to eat it, but it was so off that I ended up throwing the entire bowl away. Even the small amount I did eat gave me an upset stomach, which was really disappointing.
I truly hope the restaurant can get back to the quality it used to have, because it was once really amazing.

The panang curry and red curry are always amazing even as a take out. Lots of flavor, good spice levels, and generous amount of beans in the panang. I usually get the panang with tofu! Sometimes I wish there was more tofu, but it’s still really tasty overall. The pot stickers are good, too!

We ordered to go. The pad thai was full of oil. We ordered mild spice and it was too spicy to eat. The pad see yew was ordered with no spice at all. was borderline crunchy and spicier than my level 2 spice pad thai. I've eaten many Thai places it is my favorite food ever. This was horrible. Our check out guy was kind bubbly and absolutely wonderful. But after this second time of disappointing food I cannot recommend this place. It breaks my heart as the staff is so so so kind and amazing all around.

The potstickers were cold when they brought them out and they forgot to put shrimp in my chicken and shrimp dish and then instead of making the dish over they they just brought me a bowl of shrimp out which was fine. I guess the waiter was super nice but I don't know if I would go back after that experience honestly and it's strange because I've always had a good experience In the past

The Panang Curry and Chicken Satay are out of this world. The servers are very friendly and attentive.
polly lang
Some of the worst Thai food I’ve ever had. There was 3 of us eating, the other two said their food was ok. I tasted theirs and I would say “ok” was accurate. I ordered tom Kah and it had zero flavor and the milk was curdled, I’m not exaggerating. 15 minutes later I finally was able to flag down the waitress (who was very sweet, just not very attentive), and I decided to swap for green curry to go since the others were done. It has giant chunks of random chicken in it, I’m kind of picky with chicken but seriously this looks like a rotisserie chicken threw up in it. The flavor is just ok, but the consistency is so off. I’m looking at it right now and there’s 1/4 inch of oil that’s separated on top. Long story short; I don’t recommend.
Great food a little spendy for the amount but very good!

This is the real deal. Excellent and friendly service. The food was very good and the heat level was right on. Visited with 2 little boys and they were very accommodating.

Excellent Thai food will all your favorites. Great tastes and generous portion sizes. We had Pad Thai, egg rolls (2 large in each order), Spicy Noodles and Masaman Curry with shrimp. All very good. Reasonable beverage pricing as well with attentive, quick service.
