Cozy eatery specializing in Thai standards such as curries, noodles & spicy mains to stay or to go.
This is one of our go-to Thai restaurants, and it rarely disappoints. We always order their pineapple fried rice with shrimp, pad spicy eggplant, and green curry—these dishes never miss. This time, though, we decided to branch out and try something new: the pad see ew and egg rolls.
Unfortunately, the egg rolls didn’t quite hit the mark. They lacked the crispness we were hoping for and they weren’t as good. The pad see ew, while flavorful, was a bit too salty for our taste. Next time, we’ll probably stick with our usual green curry, which always delivers.
On the bright side, the service here is consistently friendly and the restaurant is clean. Plus, there's plenty of parking around, making it a convenient spot to dine.
Ordered via GrubHub amd food came fast and fresh! We ordered our two standard favorites, Panang Curry and Pad Cashew Nut. We also ordered the Crab Wrappers.
Asked for Level 3 spice on both dishes and it was a little spicier than expected, but I couldn't stop eating it. This is so far the best Thai we've found ❤️ The Crab Wrappers were just sweet enough and had an extra sweet Plum Sauce for dipping if you want it. I personally didn't think it needed the sauce. Both entrees were delicious. Best Panang Curry I've had in years!! We were very satisfied with our order, even though we were missing an order of rice - we made it work!
No comment on the service or atmosphere at this time.
Haven't been here in over a year, and the food is not like I remembered it.
My Pad Thai was actually under seasoned, lacking the strength of the fish sauce and the zing of the lime juice.
The waitress seemed annoyed that we were there, not very friendly.
I'll be returning though, I want to try the crispy duck !
Through door dash I ordered the Pad Thai with calamari and spice level 3. There was absolutely NO spice at all and the calamari had no flavor, maybe over boiled and tossed in? It was greasy and had 3 small piece of green onion and a few sprouts on top of soggy noodles. I have lived in Sherwood for 22 years and have loved this restaurant, but this was not the quality it has been in the past.
I ordered hot spicy noodles and asked if it was possible to make it not too spicy, the lady said yes and even asked what number of spiciness i want of 1-5 , I said 2. The noodles were so EXTREMELY SPICY it was almost impossible to eat it, tasted like the level was exceeding number 5. So I assume it's prepared ahead of time with its being extremely spicy, so no matter what level of spice you ask for, it will be the same, very very spicy, just keep it in mind. I was pretty disappointed.
I got the red Curry and it was phenomenal! But then I also got the yellow curry in the same order, and it was undercooked. The potatoes were hard as rocks and so were the carrots. Also in the yellow Curry and the shrimp was undercooked with black spots on it's tail
Don't do it
We found accidentally this place but we glad for it because we'll return definitely. The best ratio of price and guality! Big dishes, very authentic, really Thai taste, perfect combination of spices! We ordered Tom Ka Goong soup with shrimp (creamy and mild spicy), Pad Cashew Nut with chicken (love it!) and Pineapple Fried Rice. The last one is on the menu of other Thai cafes, but only here we were served it, as it is served in Thailand - in half a pineapple! More friendly staff will be wellcome next time))

I got the pad thai noodles and it was really bland and didn't have much flavor to it. They also didn't give me very much tofu
This place is awesome, nice spice levels and LARGE portions. The chicken drunken noodles are delicious. Excellent service, very friendly. This is my go to place in Sherwood for Thai food.
Delicious food- service spot on!!
Excellent. 2nd best Thai food in the PDX metro area I've found. Peppertree is tops. Sawaydee is close.
Every time I come here it is so delicious, fresh, and flavorful. Lunch specials are excellent. Quick and well priced. Love it!
Always great !!!!
Hands down best Thai food in Sherwood. I ordered takeout last week and was in a shoulder sling when I picked it up. One of their staff insisted on carrying my food to my car and I was parked all the way over by Safeway. It was so kind. Great service!
Usually order Togo, really good Thai food! Also can do most things gluten free.
Great takeout.
Lana's noodles
Spicy eggplant and basil fried rice

A favorite lunch spot. Food is always delightful, full of flavor and delivered quickly. I gave a 4 star for service only because some of the servers refuse to smile and are cranky. But they work hard and deliver plates of yumminess.

Great food, great price, large portions
Food was very subpar. I would recommend the other Thai place close to Planet Fitness over this place. We asked for mild spice, and they gave us extra hot. Plus the quality was not great so we asked for a refund. No refunds! This is the second time we have had an issue - first time was with their payment system.
Good food.service ok.can be better customer service
Personally, I really enjoy getting lots of veggies when I go out to eat, and Thai is a great option for this.
Sawatdee had great options on the menu, service was nice and the food was fast.
I ordered a duck curry--it was delicious and had some new flavors I hadn't had before with curry, (like grapes). I wouldn't mind if the flavors were more intense though. It was slightly mild. I will be happy to go back!
My wife and have eaten here several times and it was always good. However, on 7/13/24 we had dinner and both suffered from really bad food poisoning. We were both sick for apx 48 hours. My wife was worse than me throwing up all night and the following day. The staff are nice but it seems understaffed lately and unsure if that had anything to do either what happened?? Anyhow we are rethinking eating there again after what wexwent thru.
Delicious food, especially the curry.
Always love eating here. The food is always GREAT (especially the curries!) and the service is fast and friendly, even if we are too busy talking to decide what to order!
Delicious food and attentive, kind service.
Some of the best Thai food I’ve had, lightning fast service, multiple attentive wait staff, super unassuming location, fantastic experience!
The host was extremely friendly and polite and the place was immaculately clean and smelled nice. The food was extremely cheap, but was very very bad. The pad Thai had no flavor at all. Just plain noodles with bean sprouts and some random bits of bell pepper. I couldn't taste tamarind. There were no peanut crumbles. No wedge of lime. Just a box of bland noodles. The fried shrimp and vegetable apetizer looked so terrible and burnt it went strait in the garbage. The salad rolls were huge and had no flavor. My wife equally hated the pad kee Mao. We paid half what it would be worth if it was good, but I guess you get what you pay for. This place has potential if they hire a Chef.
Excellent food, good quantity, great service. The guy handling the kiosk has a very sexy voice and speaks really well. He understands the requirement pretty well. Great experience
My first time dining here, try the mango dish, oh so tasty
Amazing food! Amazing service! Great place to meet up with family and enjoy first rate Thai! Definitely coming back!
This is the Thai restaurant by which my wife and I compare all other Thai food to. We’d love to see them in bigger spot but for now it’s a favorite lunch spot.
Amazing for take out, can be a bit cramped for dine in. Killer food, I can't get enough of their yellow curry 🧡! Highly recommend
The staff and food here is amazing! The portion sizes are great and they have quite a large menu. Definitely check this place out! Highly recommend the panang curry.
Such great food. We’ve been going here for years. Best Thai food I’ve ever had. The servers are wonderful as well. I highly recommend the pad cashew nut or the pad Thai. Their Thai iced teas are also delicious!
Fantastic Pad Thai
Delicious, authentic food, reasonable price and large portions! Friendly staff, definitely recommend going if you’re in the mood for Thai food!
Food wasn't great. Fast service!
The food was superb! The service did not come with a smile, and the tables are small and cramped. Definitely recommend take out over dining in.
Amazing coconut soup! Really enjoyed the atmosphere and friendly service.
This is one of my favorite Thai spots ever! Great takeout and great dine in.
Care in preparation and presentation.
Just moved to Sherwood and the food options are plentiful.
One of the best Massumun curries I've ever had. And legit converted two people with me to order it next time as well, it's that good! Perfect flavor, correct viscosity, and the perfect combination of vegetables, meat, and peanuts.
I came here for lunch today and ordered chicken phad thai. The chicken was extremely dry. The noodles tasted like lime... I did not put any lime on my dish. I think they put it on there ahead of time. The noodles are somewhat dry as well. I am honestly confused as to why this restaurant has such high reviews. It was inexpensive for lunch, but that is the only positive thing I have to say. I may give them another chance when it is not lunch time, but I also might not since I did not enjoy the food.
I always enjoy their stir fry chicken noodle and volcano beef.
Been coming here for the last 2 years and the food is consistently yummy! Great food and great service! Owners are super friendly!
Very tasty! Friendly and helpful staff.
Friendly, top-notch Thai food. Family run and always great food and service. Large selection.
The food is always delicious! I've tried many different things on the menu and it never disappoints. Matt is the best! Always a friendly smile and helpful with recommendations. Shout out to chef Tony too working hard cooking up the delicious food
Excellent food.
it’s a small dining room, we’ve always done takeout. But the food is excellent and good portion sizes and the staff is friendly. Better to call them directly than use one of the apps.
Ordered pad Thai with pork. Asked for a little spicy. It was awful. The food had an “after” taste and it had NO spice at all.
The owner is SO friendly here. I came in after a really long day and he was just the kindest person! The food is also good. I will return!
Always some of the most friendly staff and great food.
We really enjoy their food. It's not a big space for dine in. Level 2 spice I suspect, is hot enough for most Caucasians.
Great food. Great service.
Hands down best Thai food for miles and miles! My favorite is pad kee mow and mango paradise!
I always went here because the food is good and the gentleman that works there offers excellent customer service but there's a new lady that is so rude I feel like she doesn't want me there. This happened several times but no big deal I found another Thai restaurant.
food is good, customer service was the worst. The lady is so rude and does not even make eye contact with her customers. No matter how good the food is if the customer service is bad it’s not worth it.
Amazing food with awesome staff!
Some of the best Thai in the area!
Quiet. Very favorable. Will return again!!
Went for the first time tonight and really enjoyed the visit. Food was delicious, hot, cooked well. The veggies were done perfectly, had a lot of flavor and crunch. It's a pretty small restaurant and was quite busy, which I chalked up to being a good thing. There's a reason why so many people want food from Sawatdee. 5/5

Large portions and variety. Vegan friendly.
no flavor and the chicken is dry
Best curry I’ve ever had
Very good!
I was walked in and was greeted very nicely, they do boba on one side and food on the other.
They did doublecharge me for my order, and I’m very sad with the way they chose to do it, since they could tell I was traveling, but I believe they wouldn’t have done so unless they needed to. Thanks for giving me a place to eat spicy food while the rain poured down.
I hope they continue to fill people with good, warm food for many years to come 🙏🏻 Peace & love
I love a good Pad Thai and decided to try this place for the first time. Service was quick and staff was nice but the dish had zero flavor. Not any spice or peanut sauce….really odd and flavorless.
I love Pad Thai and this was as good as I've had anywhere!
Delicious Thai dishes, reasonable prices, fast service.
Get the spicy duck. It’s not that spicy but it’s one of my fave meals in the greater Portland area. I’ve never had a bad meal here. It’s a tiny place so don’t go expecting a fancy atmosphere but do expect great food!
I've had almost everything on the menu and it is all great, every time.
Great food and staff
They have some of the best Thai food in Oregon.
Ordered from here many times. ALWAYS good!
The food was delicious! We will definitely come here again.
Very friendly, great service, great food!
Delicious and very friendly service.
Love this place! My favorite is the Mango Paradise with chicken. Large servings and they make great leftovers.
The food at Sawatdee is some of the best Thai I've had in years. Excellent food and good service.
Amazing Yellow Curry!
I’ve been eating Thai food for a long time and this is the best Thai food I’ve ever had! Super flavorful, amazing spice and big portions. I got the pineapple fried rice which was served in an empty portion of half of a pineapple which I found to be a fun presentation. It’s a hole in the wall kind of place. Be prepared to be blown away!
Always very good. Very personable & ready to please people working there.
First timers... They accidentally gave our order to another party picking up. The gentleman at the front desk brought us iced tea to our car and apologized for the mix up (very thoughtful). We weren't in a hurry. So glad we found this place. Best pad thai and pineapple fried rice we've had in a long time. This is definitely our Thai restaurant of choice. Be sure to try the salad rolls and peanut sauce.
Some of the best food I've had in a while!
Sawatdee is a necessary staple in this community. My co-workers & I regularly get lunch here and the food never disappoints. Their fried rice is probably the best I’ve had in the Portland area.
Great place to pick up lunch or dinner. Lunch is affordable and the gentleman working at the counter is always exceedingly friendly!
Very delicious and healthy
Very good curries and we had the dumpling appetizer that was amazing. Definitely will go back. Service was good a well.
Usually a fairly good place, but lately they've been slower with to-go orders. Took them 45 minutes to get mine out, and they gave me the wrong food. They did manage to serve customers who came in to eat at the restaurant in just 10 minutes though.
Every time I go here I can't wait to eat it love the food
My kids like Thai food so this is where we gather.
Fast food Thai. Good. Not a fancy restaurant.
Best Thai food for 30 mins in all directions. You can feel safe ordering pretty much anything- it’s all superb.
Pad cashew nut chicken was amazing!
I have to practice self-restraint by not eating here every single day, because it is by far my favorite restaurant in Oregon. The food is of fantastic quality and is always prepared consistently, the food is prepared quickly, and the staff is always friendly. But, most importantly, they can make all of their dishes GLUTEN FREE! For anyone else with a sensitivity to gluten, this is the place to go. Would give 6 stars if I could, this is the best Thai restaurant around, with the second-best one in Oregon being Thai Bay, in Lincoln City.
OK food ... mostly take out business, quality Thai food
Basically the best Thai place in oregon. Everytime I eat here my life is filled with happiness for several days. The waiter is a rock star and the food is the best.
Whenever I go here I ask myself why I haven't come back more often! Super good! The spicy duck or the crispy duck or Lana's favorite are the best! Never had a bad plate. Fresh and authentic! Brings back memories of my trip to Thailand!
Wow! Fantastic Thai food. We eat at many Thai restaurants in our travels around the metro area, I-5 cooridor and up and down the coast. Perfectly cooked shrimp, noodles, duck and vegetables. The red curry was a little darker than I've seen before and it was absolutely delicious. A new favorite, for sure. Service was very nice.
Had googled what were good places to eat in Sherwood, and this had the highest reviews. I see why. I got the Fire chicken noodles, and the quality of the ingredients and portion size were amazing. Not a bad price of $12 for the freshness and look of the food. Will go there again when out that way.
I love Thai food and Sawatdee may just be my favorite Thai restaurant. The environment is very homey, and the food is some of the best I have ever had. All of their food is great and their Sawatdee Thai iced tea (cream is substituted with lime) is addicting. I am a big curry fan, and always get their yellow curry. The photo I posted is called Lana's Favorite (yellow curry with rice noodles, red onion, bean sprouts, topped with crushed peanuts and choice of meat)
Delicious food and friendly staff.
This is truly the best Thai food I have had in Oregon.
My son turned me on to this place and I love it! I usually get the Evil jungle noodles with beef or shrimp, I love spicy so I get a level 3..4 was a little much.
Prices are reasonable and the service is fast and friendly. I wish they were open a little later because sometimes after work I feel like calling in an order but I'm off to late. You can dine in or take out but the dining area is pretty small. Give this place a try for excellent Thai
I've personally only been a couple of times, but this is a favorite of a friend who lives nearby. The food is delicious, and the service is prompt. It may not be a big place, but it's worth a visit.
Delicious tofu dishes!!!!!
Today was my first-ever visit to Sawatdee, and they vaulted right to the top of my Thai food list. The potstickers were incredible — just the right amounts chewy, savory and toasty — and I loved the crispy fried duck.
I brought my little niece with me, and our waiter offered to make her chicken basil dish non-spicy. That was excellent, too. My niece wanted to give the restaurant 1,000 stars — but since Google only allows five, we settled for that.
Loved it
Delicious food and awesome service! My favorite Thai food!
Tasty door and friendly service.
Best Thai around.
We walked by this place a lot and I never really paid any attention, but we went on a whim and it was SO good!! Their specials were way better than we even expected and it’s a lot of food for the price. Definitely recommend this place!
Best yellow curry I've ever had!! Thai tea is awesome too!!
Fresh ingredients, and amazing flavor! My girlfriend and I went in for lunch. I got the spicy noodles with chicken and vegetables, and she got the Sawatdee fried rice (no tomatoes) Golden Triangles for our appetizer. Our food was outstanding! And the customer service was great. This place gets an A+ from me. I will definitely return, and most likely try something new.
Very friendly, great attitude and lovely atmosphere! Big plus on the food yum 😋
Great lunch!
Great price even better food with quick nice service
BEST YELLOW CURRY OF MY LIFE. This healed me emotionally.
Poor service Food was too spicy when I asked for mild. And i.needed a receipt for reimbursement at work and the gentleman said to me that they don't give receipts.
Always has AMAZING food and very nice staff, my girlfriend and I go there for our anniversary every month.
Authentic taste, very friendly staff. Spicy ducks are so good!!!
We are continually impressed with Sawatdee. The owners are great and the food is delicious. They got an order confused --- it was so minor I would have said not to worry about it -- but instead they gave us an extra entree for free. We will continue to support them!
Excellent! We've been looking for a great thai restaurant, and found it here, fast friendly service as well. Recommend!
Love this place. I have it weekly at least. Lately it’s been so oily and salty... it’s too much. Which makes me sad becuz this place was great. Before Covid def recommend this place as take out because it’s busy and you will wait forever for food. Not just strictly take out. I’m not on an diet restrictions but when the past 5 times it’s been so salty we all chug gallons of water and am swollen... not so fun.
Good flavor. Order extra rice for they are generous with the sauce. One curry dish can feed two if order extra rice. Friday nights could get really busy so order an hour ahead of your dinner time for take out.
The food here is so yummy. I've not ordered an item I didn't love. Our family favorite is their yellow curry and the pad basil rice. Service is good and food comes out quickly. The portions are generous and even a family of 4 with 2 teens gets filled up with 4 entrees and leftovers. I highly recommend this family owned local restaurant for dine in (although it's small) and take out.
This place is very inconsistent. Today I ordered Pad Kra Pao and Pad Thai with Cashews, both with pork and what was delivered to me was neither Kra Pao nor Pad Thai. It was basically steamed veggies, one with pork one with chicken and had nothing to do with what I ordered. Yes, they got the protein on one of the orders wrong. I'm so disappointed since my last order from this place was stellar. BEWARE. Don't order here since the quality of what they deliver to you is either all or nothing.
Before 12/2020 every order came with full box of rice. On 12/1/2020 I ordered the spicy catfish came with only half small box of rice. I thought
the person who packed the rice made a mistake. Today 12/28/20 I order
spicy duck and spicy catfish they still give me half large box of rice. I ask the server why the rice is only half. His answer is company policy. I say is ridiculous half box of rice how to share between two person. I have never come across restaurants give half box of rice. So Sawatdee want customer to pay for more rice or customer has to cook their own rice. If I have to buy a small box of rice $1.50 from them it will only half box. This is ridiculous ridiculous ........
Honestly this is the best Thai food I’ve had in the portland area. Their drunken noodles are wonderful as is their pad Thai but their curries are where it is at. I have had a lot of yellow curry and this is my favorite by a long shot! They are sometimes a bit slow when using an app for a delivery but pick up is always smooth and their food is worth it!
Very tasty food i will definitely come back
