This is my favorite Thai restaurant in Reno. The food is so flavorful. My favorite dish is the honey chicken curry, but I have also enjoyed the eggplant. I enjoy coming here for special events.

Great lunch specials!

Diner Review №12

This is my go-to for Thai food in Reno/Sparks <3 Panang curry is my favorite, so I haven't tried very many items on the menu. Sawasdee's panang is the best I've had in the 20 years I've lived in the area. I usually order pick up & the hostess is always so kind & polite. The kitchen cooks everything quickly & perfectly. If you haven't tried the food here, you're missing out!

Diner Review №14

Delicious food, great people, and definitely a place to return to many times

Diner Review №15

We stopped in for dinner on a Friday around 6:30 and there was no wait. Our server was so kind and very attentive. We ordered fresh spring rolls, chicken satay, chicken pad thai, and panang curry. Everything was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back if we're in the area again!!

Diner Review №16

My family and I have been going to Sawasdee regularly for many years and we've never been disappointed. The portions are large, the prices are fair, and the food is always enjoyable. We recently had them cater for our wedding reception and we were just as pleased. It was wonderful working with the owner and we received top-notch service.

If you're looking for Thai food, Sawasdee is more than deserving of your business!

Diner Review №17

I try to go here at least once a week ~ Really Enjoy their various Curry offerings!! 😍

Diner Review №18

Some of the best Thai Food I've ever had! When we moved from out of state I was worried I wouldn't find a Thai restaurant that I loved. So glad I found this place.

Diner Review №19

The staff is amazingly friendly food is great drop by and check it out

Diner Review №20

Every dish we ordered was excellent. We got spring rolls and the peanut sauce was warmed up. My yellow curry was perfect.

Diner Review №21

The search for good to great restaurants in the Reno lake Tahoe region continues!!!!!!
We are constantly trying new places to review in this area.
Our second Thai food restaurant in Reno to try
Asian restaurant(s) for the most part can be an expensive proposition. I understand now how much my parents spent when as a family of 5, they would indulge us at Chinese restaurant in Chinatown s.f.
Even for a couple it can get pricey. We found this restaurant on mccaran Blvd in a nice shopping center. We watched as customers entered the business many coming out with takeout.
We did a dine in. We ordered pineapple chicken fried rice, chicken satay, crab cheese rangoons, and tom yum seafood soup. In most Thai restaurants we have attended, the server will always ask us how hot/spicy we want the food. Usually on a scale of 1 to 10, we ask for an 8. All based on perception. Watch out for those ghost chillis. At this restaurant no one asked. I had to ask for a basket of chili peppers, ground chili, etc.
The food was good . The crab cheese rangoons, pineapple chicken fried rice and chicken satay were cooked just right. Chicken was moist, rangoons cheesy, but really couldn't taste the crab. The pineapple chicken fried rice had ample pieces of chicken, pineapple and cashews .

The soup was a little disappointing. One the spicynes was not there. I had to add ground chili. As for ingredients, I am used to more, shellfish still in the shell, crab legs and claws, as well as fish. This particular soup had none of that.

Otherwise ok, but the price a little high for 4 dishes and 2 Thai coffees.

The search in Reno continues.

Diner Review №22

The food was delicious, the desert was phenomenal (mango sticky rice). The service was also good, just a little on the pricey side.

Diner Review №23

It's my family's favorite Thai restaurant in the area. Really good food! We usually get Thai fried rice, drunken noodles, pad Thai, or their red (or green) curry. They also have some really good appetizers! Would recommend!

Server was nice. Green Papaya salad was good and my thick noodle, I forgot the name was great. But next time I ask them not to add bell pepper and mint. My husband ordered duck curry. It was very rich. There is many Thai restaurant in Reno. This is a kinda Thai street food taste? I like it.

I ordered green curry and Thai iced tea. I got home and my meal was curry without the green and in a plastic container. The plastic was extremely hot. Not impressed or happy especially after paying $25 dollars for a meal and drink.

Diner Review №44

Great thai food

Diner Review №45

This is a true hidden gem! I have tried almost every tom yum in town, this is THE ONE!! I've been hunting for the best tom yum in reno this is it moodang, lanna's y'all have been beat HARD! I CROWN SAWASDEE THE KING OF TOM YUM! The Thai Tea was great, the Rangoons were perfect, rice was cooked right! I'm so glad I went out of my usual path for this it is truly worth it! 🙌 all transparency it's American thai spice levels, if you're looking to sweat order some extra spice on the side I got a five tastes like a 3-4 on a Thai scale it's sweet and a nice calm spice I added extra spice to get it up there. It is so incredibly worth it I haven't found an authentic Thai place anywhere in nevada like this.

Diner Review №46

Outstanding lunch specials!!

Diner Review №47

Diner Review №48

Love and the food atmosphere.

Diner Review №49

I ordered the Pineapple Chicken and it was soaking in a box of what looked to be its own oil and the oil tastes like it hadn't been changed in days. After a few bites that's all I could stand and it started to make me feel sick to my stomach. It's just very sad that I had to waste so much money here.

Diner Review №50

The food here was amazing and so flavorful! It's one of the best Thai restaurants I've had!
We called our order in. Pick-up was easy. The service was fast and friendly! We'll definitely be back!

Diner Review №51

Diner Review №52

Diner Review №53

An excellent Thai food experience! Our waiter came to check on us frequently and was very accommodating of our vegan diet. We loved the avocado curry, curry puffs, and mango sticky rice. The atmosphere was peaceful with lofi music playing in the background. We will be coming back.

Diner Review №54

Great food awesome people

Diner Review №55

Stopped by here on our way back from Reno to try based on the reviews. Crab pad thai was great with real crab meat, 4.5*, beef and tofu see ew were good, 4.5*, the coconut curry was tasty with the coconut meat, 5*, som tum papaya salad was good,4*, chicken satay,4*, but the mango sticky rice was a let down,2.5*-way too sweet, small mango portion, and too "soggy." The portions were generous and didn't skimp on the meats, crab, and shrimps (coconut curry had lots of shrimp).
Overall, a solid 4* for me.

Diner Review №56

This is my favorite Thai place in town. I have been going here since I moved to the Reno/Sparks area three years ago. The food is delicious and the folks who work there are so friendly. Their tofu is so perfectly crispy on the outside! I used to drive 20 minutes for pickup because their tofu is so good.

Diner Review №57

I just got an order of spring rolls obviously with peanut sauce and they were so good and fresh:) I could tell it was made with care. Would like more shrimp though.

Diner Review №58

Really lovely hole in the wall Thai food. It's a bit out of the way for me, but always worth it.

Diner Review №59

Diner Review №60

Good selection, reasonable prices, ample portions, tasty but not as good as some other Thai restaurants.

Diner Review №61

Absolutely LOVE Sawasdee!!!

Diner Review №62

Diner Review №63

I've eaten here many times. It's my favorite Thai place when I visit Reno.

Diner Review №64

Good food but a bit over priced . I will say seafood has gone crazy proce wise, that said it was godd. The atmosphere needs a mske ove. It sometimes feel like you are in a werehouse.

Diner Review №65

Diner Review №66

very yummy padthai with shrimp and tofu omg it heaven on earth. also try tom ka kai noodle soup so cream and just right amount of spicy yum yum in my tum tum.

Diner Review №67

Great food, fast service, clean restaurant, big selection of menu items. I really like that they have Thai beers (Singha and Leo)
The spice level was on point!

Diner Review №68

Diner Review №69

The pepper and garlic chicken lunch special was delish, and the staff was also very friendly and attentative. Still a very tasty spot!

Diner Review №70

Best Thai food in Reno!! I am hard pressed to eat anywhere else when in need of a delicious Thai curry!! 10/10 recommend 👌

Diner Review №71

Excellent food and great service!

Diner Review №72

I have been eating here for 5 years now. I absolutely love it. I've tried other places but I keep coming back to this one. I always get the Thai spicy basil with chicken, and red curry. Sometimes other things here and there. Highly recommend.

Diner Review №73

Everything was on point from the crunchy eggplant, curry red and yellow, Thom Kha and Tom yum.

Diner Review №74

Pricey for the amount you get. The food is very tasty.

Diner Review №75

Good Thai food

Diner Review №76

Diner Review №77

First time I wasn't blown away. The fish was over cooked. There was a skin flake in my water so I didn't drink it. The fried rice and noodles were pretty good tho.The staff were very nice and attentive idk if I'll come back tho

Diner Review №78

The service was real nice. The food was really good, and so was the Thai Ice Tea. You can also order for takeout. I've been here a bunch of times, and I will definitely be going back.

Diner Review №79

Diner Review №80

Forgot to take the before photo but I just love eating here! Been going here since forever lol

Diner Review №81

Such incredible flavor in the food and drinks here. Prices are reasonable. Portion sizes are perfect to stuff an empty belly. This restaurant has been here a long time, and over all those years, their food has always been delicious.

Diner Review №82

Delicious food, extremely attentive staff! We’ll be back for sure!

Diner Review №83

Diner Review №84

This place was great pre-COVID. No longer. Went for dinner and found metal - literally a piece of curled metal - in my food. The staff shrugged it off like it wasn't a big deal with barely an apology. Evidently, finding non-edible, potential dangerous items in your food is par for the course. Yikes 😬 My dinner companions food was also sub-standard. I'll never go again.

Diner Review №85

Best Thai in reno by far. Must try the avacado fresh spring roll and the spicy fried rice.

Diner Review №86

Best vegetable in the oyster sauce I've had.

Diner Review №87

The lunch special is such a great deal and everything is so full of flavor. Loved the curry wonton, peanut dressing salad and the wonton soup! And the pad-Thai, mmmmm yum. Will definitely return! Great service too!

Diner Review №88

Diner Review №89

Love getting lunch here with my grandmother. We really enjoy the wonton soup. Everything I've tried is delicious. Very friendly staff as well.

Diner Review №90

This is one of my favorite Thai places in reno, love the food and very friendly service.

Diner Review №91

We came in just before the kitchen closed. They gladly served us. The food was fresh and we didn't feel rushed. Thank you!

Diner Review №92

Very delicious. Great service.

Diner Review №93

Discovered this place once I moved to Sparks. The drunken noodle and salt and pepper steak is exceptional. Only downside is that the currys are too sweet for my taste.

Diner Review №94

Love the place. I've done Thai all around Reno/Sparks for years and none of the them are constantly as good as Sawasdee. The price is also very reasonable, I've had Thai meals that cost almost double what Sawasdee charges and Sawasdee still beats them.

Diner Review №95

Their Thai Iced Coffee is dreamy. Highly recommend 💕

Diner Review №96

Good

Diner Review №97

Great food, excellent service.

Diner Review №98

Beautiful, thoughtful, delicious food. Very nice staff. Thank you!

Diner Review №99

New favorite Thai food in the area. Tofu was the best I’ve had in a long long time. Papaya salad was fresh & flavorful. Boyfriend got the Pad Thai, super tasty. And the shrimp ragoon 🤤 everything we had was exceptional. Can’t wait to come back & try more!

Diner Review №100

Excellent food and good value.

Diner Review №101

Delish,
I've eaten Thai at this location on and off for years as it has changed ownership. Recently I got a chance to try it again. They are definitely back on the list of favorite places to eat.

Diner Review №102

Excellent food

Diner Review №103

Asked for my food extra spicy level 5 and extra chili powder on the side. Received food with zero spice and a very very small container of chili powder only filled 1/8th of an inch. Don’t bother with this place if you like you Thai food with some heat.

Diner Review №104

Went here for lunch. I ordered spicy eggplant, it was really good. Good food great service. I will go back.

Diner Review №105

Very delicious.

Diner Review №106

Small but quiet little spot. Good food and service. Light on the stomach so nothing too heavy or grasy

Diner Review №107

Delicious food, really kind owner and she try's her best to get to know every customer that comes in and out! Also the best Thai food in Nevada!😁

Diner Review №108

Great lunch specials... 11 am to 3 pm is the best time to grab lunch from this resteraunt. This is my number one go to for Thai food in The Valley.

Diner Review №109

Diner Review №112

Diner Review №113

Absolutely loved their food. Best Thai food I’ve had in town. Large portions and amazing service. My husband and I ate here for a date night and the atmosphere was amazing and relaxing. Other Thai places I’ve been are cramped, crowded, and loud with no where to wait when they’re full. This was definitely not like that. I only saw one person serving all the tables and it was pretty busy but she did a fabulous job checking in with us and making sure we had everything we needed and wanted.

Diner Review №114

By far the best Thai food in Reno.

Diner Review №115

Diner Review №116

Amazing food as always!!

Diner Review №117

I ordered curry, pad Thai, Larb salad and sweet n sour chicken for take out.. The food is excellent but the portions were so small for take out. Not sure if dine in portions are small too. But everything tasted delicious, food was so good!

Diner Review №118

Delicious food, friendly service. Their wonton soup is surprisingly amazing

Diner Review №119

Very good food . This one surprised me. Usually if I can't say the name the food will be just ok this place may have a hard name but the best food

Diner Review №120

Food was good but smaller portion then usual. Definitely not a place for a quick lunch.

Diner Review №121

Liked everything on my lunch plate. Waitress was very nice and smiled.

Diner Review №122

Awesome place, never had a bad experience in the many years I've been there.

Diner Review №123

The lunch specials give you an ample amount of food. You won't leave hungry.

Diner Review №124

Our 1st time here and their food was great. My favorite was their Green Curry and their Dessert, Mango and Sticky Rice. We also ordered Fresh Spring Roll, Papaya Salad, Chicken Ginger, Combination Pad Thai and Roti. For drinks, Thai Tea (very good) and Chang Beer (Thai Beer). Will be back here again when we are in Reno

Diner Review №125

Not a bad place to eat it's hit or miss with the service

Diner Review №126

Got the chicken panang. And the mango panang. Both were super! Will be back for sure.

Diner Review №127

Diner Review №128

Omg! This place has the best pad Thai in town! Not dry and so so delicious! 🤤

Diner Review №129

All the lunch specials I've tried are delicious! Their peanut sauce is the best I've ever had! Curry pads are bomb! The only Thai restaurant I go to! Nowhere else compares! Friendly staff

I love this restaurant, the food is great every time. Our favorites are the drunken noodle and the avocado curry 👌🏼 The staff is always super nice too

Diner Review №135

Went across town two different times to eat here. Both times they were supposed to be open, but they were arbitrarily closed. No more.

Diner Review №136

Amazing spicy fried rice and pineapple chicken ever! They are super friendly and the food is always great.

Diner Review №137

As good as the reviews I read online. The food was great

Diner Review №138

First time I ever heard of Avocado Curry, it was very good. Also pineapple rice and drunken noodles. Good stuff. Yummy sampler appetizer had 3 of each item....there were 3 of us.

Diner Review №139

The coconut curry is the best curry I have ever had. Sticky rice and mango is fantastic.

Diner Review №140

Diner Review №141

Great food, great service, love this place!

Diner Review №142

Great food great people. Relaxing

Diner Review №143

Diner Review №144

1,000% best drunken noodle in Sparks or Reno. It’s my favorite dish of all the food in the world. There used to be another place that had a good one, but it’s been bland for years. This place nails it, every time. I order once a week. I’m not vegetarian but I get it with the tofu because they nail it how they fry it. Try it at 3 spicy, magical.

Diner Review №145

Amazing food and the staff is super friendly!

Diner Review №146

Diner Review №147

May be the other items are good but I got the chicken drunken noodles for lunch. Noodles and vegetables were OK but the chicken was horrible. I couldn't chew a single piece of chicken. It was literally white rubber. Not sure what kind of chicken meat or pieces they using. I think it's really old chicken or way undercooked chicken. Anyhow, I wish I could get my money back.

Diner Review №148

We went to eat as a group. The two black people at our table were not served their food. We waited over an hour to eat, and still they were not served. It was horrible!!!! I will never eat here again!

Diner Review №149

Great food and excellent service!

Diner Review №150

Best Thai food I've found in Reno! We order here once a week and love the food.

Diner Review №151

Diner Review №152

This place rocks! My favorite Thai food in town. They are quick, the staff is always kind, and they leave you nice messages thanking you for your business. They even put a Christmas card in the bag thanking me and included a gift! It was a box of peanut brittle, delicious btw. I was happily surprised after the Uber eats driver left and we opened the bag.

Diner Review №153

My favorite Thai food place! The food is great! And the people are friendly and nice.

Diner Review №169

This place is amazing. They were super friendly and the food was amazing. I had yellow curry chicken, which was absolutely perfect. Honestly, this might have been my favorite meal of all time. And that's not hyperbole. This restaurant isn't very close to where I live, but great people and great food would definitely make this worth the trip. I love it.

Diner Review №170

Great food. One of my favorites!

Diner Review №171

Best thai place ever

Diner Review №172

The food here is amazing. I love that they have vegan options and it tastes delicious! They really care about their food and customer service. Great job!

Diner Review №173

My favorite Thai food in the area. I eat here more often than any other place in town.

Diner Review №174

Never disappointed by this place! Their food is incredible no matter what you order, and I also really appreciate their portion sizes I usually have left overs!

Diner Review №175

Diner Review №176

My rating went from 4 to 1 stars. The food is okay, but a tad overpriced for the quality level. The chicken is always a bit dry and tough. I came because it was close to home. However, the last two times I've been here it has taken way too long to get my orders and the place wasn't even that busy. Very unprofessional, staff were not even apologetic. So much of your customer relationship could be saved by one single sincere apology, or a staff member who would actually make eye contact and smile. Maybe offer the customer a glass of water or a tea while they wait there with nothing to do but steam for 30-45 minutes.

Diner Review №177

Diner Review №178

Awesome food and Thai tea. They were happy to accept bitcoin or bitcoin cash!

Diner Review №179

I enjoyed the coconut pot soup and my boyfriend had coconut curry. Even though she made an error on the spicyness for our dishes we still enjoyed our dish. Only down side is they charge extra for boba and for refills.

Diner Review №180

We came back just for their coconut soup and it's still the best! We have 3 small children this time and we were nervous it may not be child friendly. Our server was very kind, gave a suggestion for food they'd like, gave fun kid's plates and sticker place mats. Totally unexpected and very appreciated. Food was amazing. We didn't wait long at all for food.

Diner Review №181

Excellent! As always. Have never had a bad experience here. Staff courteous ... efficient ... attentive.
