Definitely suggest making a reservation if you are going during peak hours. They were busy when we arrived, but when they were able to seat us, they asked if we had a reservation and communicated that there may be a little wait for food since we didn't make a reservation. They still brought drinks quickly, they were very attentive, and the appetizers came out quickly. The curry puffs and dumplings were absolutely amazing. Most of us ordered the fried rice - the flavor of the beef was spectacular. I also like that the fresh vegetables were cut smaller than some places with the same dish- made them easier to eat. Atmosphere was cozy but enjoyable. Staff was attentive throughout the meal. Would definitely try other menu items here. I appreciate that they communicated and despite being very busy they were professional and courteous.
First time here, recommended by a professional musician in the area, and he was so right. It's better than the best we found in our last two towns, Plano and Winter Garden. We love this town!
Simply best! Found this place while searching for something quick to eat and the food turned out to be marvelous. The first impression was made by the Thai ice tea which was perfectly made as it should be (Tea at the bottom & milk at the top). We ordered Jumbo shrimps for starters and I recommend this as a must try. For the main course, it was a drunken noodle. All the dishes were great and price was reasonable. If I ever visit the area back, this will be in my list!
Understaffed while we were there, doesnt mean it always is though. Bang bang shrimp were good appetizer, spring rolls were previously frozen (assuming) due to their texture. Penang curry seafood mix was very good. Pad thai chicken was runny and a bit sweet gor our liking but might he how others like it. Order 2 "painkiller" drinks, satisfactory.
One of the best Thai restaurant in the area. There are 2 others that frequent but this one takes the cake.
The menu options are outstanding, definitely more seafood items to choose from.
The Crispy Salmon and the Lemongrass Seafood are amazing and my favorites.
The drunken noodles are also a favorite.
The owners are wonderful and always friendly. The prices are also reasonable. This has to be one of my best lunch spots and always consistent in every visit.
The food is delicious! I've dined here frequently and have never had any but delicious. The service is great too.
Have been here many times. The food is always fresh, authentic and delicious. Huge shrimp in their dishes as opposed to other places that give you a few measly tiny shrimp. The Thai iced tea is awesome as well. The service is friendly and attentive. There’s a nice romantic atmosphere in the upper dining area.
Incredible food. Great service. Reservations recommended, especially for holidays.

Every time we’ve ordered from here the food does not disappoint!! Drunken noodles are the best.
Horrible pineapple fries rice with chicken and pineapple from the can and chicken was dry and disgusting. I would not recommend this place
Best Thai food in the Lehigh Valley. Simple, traditional Thai dishes, not overdone or unnecessarily modernized. Ingredients are fresh and proportions are generous. Service is friendly and attentive. Plenty of street parking available.
Food was excellent and served promptly during prime dinner hours (5-6). Restaurant and bathroom were both extremely clean. Staff was very kind and informative.
Always an excellent meal!! We appreciate the vegetarian options.
This place is awesome. The food was excellent. I will definitely be back great neighborhood family run business.
Super friendly service, love this place
The male host was very rude from the minute we walked in. We arrived at 5pm and there were exactly two other people in the whole restaurant and they looked to be just about done. The host asked if we had reservations. We stated we did not. He walked us over to the seating area and gave us a choice of two seats and proceeded to say, “if you would have made a reservation you could sit anywhere you know”. Once we were seated he reminded us to make a reservation next time so at this point we did not even really want to stay but since he seated us in a practically empty restaurant we stayed. About 10 minutes go by and the host that sat us asks the women behind us if they needed any water or anything but he still had not gotten us water, asked if we knew what we want, or even acknowledged us. After 15 minutes we just got up and walked out. As we were leaving that same host that sat us and never acknowledged us said, “have a good weekend” as we left without ever even being served water. This host was super rude and we will not be going back. We never even got to try the food.
The food is always delicious and beautifully presented. The servers are friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. It's always a pleasure dining there. The duck is fabulous!
Very polite, I got the lunch fried rice with tofu - they asked if eggs were okay -, thai iced tea, and mango sticky rice. Everything was very good. It was $24 and some change for all of this.
Food was delicious, but servers get a little crossed - had three servers asking if we were ready to order (after having already placed an order with the first server). Information on the dish also seemed to vary, depending on which server you asked. Again, food was delicious though.
Absolutely wonderful service. I had the drunken noodles which were delicious. The restaurant has beautiful decor and a great ambience. My waitress was absolutely amazing. Will certainly be back.

One of the best Thai restaurants I've had the pleasure of frequenting, and I have been to plenty in/around philly and the tri-state region. You can tell everything is fresh and home-made right off the rip. Very good quality food, shrimp green curry is amazing
Great food
Understaffed while we were there, doesnt mean it always is though. Bang bang shrimp were good appetizer, spring rolls were previously frozen (assuming) due to their texture. Penang curry seafood mix was very good. Pad thai chicken was runny and a bit sweet gor our liking but might he how others like it. Order 2 "painkiller" drinks, satisfactory.
Quality is great, taste is awesome and authentic. I love this place
Best Thai food for miles. Fresh dishes from mild to spicy and the most delicious Thai iced tea you'll ever taste
The people and food are what it’s all about
Spring rolls so crunchy and good, Panang curry that makes you smile. If you're looking for a place to sit down and eat a good, tasty meal this is the place to come. Been coming here for a long time and it's been wonderful
Great food, very authentic, and the price is just right!
Great local Thai food- highly recommend their Bangkok chicken.
Always happy to go to a good place with very attentive staff, fast service and delicious meals. Also, the quantities are by far the biggest I've seen in the area, one plate feeds two for sure.
Love everything about this place! Customer service is great, food is awesome, very nice atmosphere
I don’t go anywhere else for Thai food
Amazing Thai dishes and an equally amazing selection of tea. Seriously, do get yourself some while you're there!
Love their food and it is worth the drive across town to get it. The food is well seasoned and no matter how many Thai food restaurants my husband and I try, we always end up back to Swadee. The Pad Thai shrimp and chicken are really good. The bang bang shrimp is a great appetizer if you like sweetness but it mighy have alot of breading but still it is still good.
Very attentive staff, quick service, good food.
The best Thai food in Northern PA!
Perhaps best Thai restaurant I have been. The food is spicy just the way I like it. Next time I go back I would try the suicidal spicy level.
Phenomenal food and an excellent experience overall. We will certainly be back!
Great customer service and awesome food🙏💚

The Pad Thai was one of the best I've had in the area in sometime. Whatever my lady ordered was also very good.
Staff are pleasant and attentive.
Met friends for dinner yesterday. Everyone was pleased with their meals and drinks. I had the shrimp mango, which was delicious! I don’t recall the exact menu items the others had, but they were a Pad Thai and curry dishes. As I said, everyone left very satisfied!!
Great food, authentic
Friendly informed servers
Best drunken noodles in the Valley
Amazing service and the food is even better. Highly recommend the Tom Yum soup!
Pad Thai and drunken noodles were very good. Fresh herbs, spices, and vegetables. Good dumplings too. Yessss
There is absolutely no better Thai food than Swadee in Emmaus. Hands down great taste, great selections, great family owned service. God bless Swadee Thai House. Amén 🙏
The food here is always fresh and amazing!
Great atmosphere, and even better food. The staff is very friendly. I get takeout here at least once a week.
Worst service. We call ahead for a table at 3pm for group of 14 ppl. And was told there won’t be able to accommodate the seating together. but We decided to go anyway since we in the area and we can split to 2-3 tables. When we got there the waiter told us not to do this again because he is by himself. The restaurant is nearly empty and only 1 table with customers. You shouldn’t even open your business if you can’t take any business.
Worst Thai food I have ever had won’t ever be back again... If you people want really good Thai food go to Thai diner in Coplay pa you will not be disappointed there
First time there. Food was very good as well as the service.
Always delicious food will continue to order from here
Love Swadee! By far my favorite Thai restaurant in the area. The food never misses. Love the Bangkok Chicken and Pad See Ew. The appetizers are also very good! Would recommend the bang bang shrimp, ribs, or wings!
Best thai food in lehigh valley area. Been going there for over 4 years and the taste is always amazing.
Great Food and Large portions. Went with the Drunken Noodles with the shrimp. Plenty of medium size shrimp. Medium spice was perfect but still spicy. Will be back. Lunch special was only 12.95
Great food, our waitress was adorable. Good drinks too.
Para un público muy específico... No es para cualquiera que no conozca la comida previamente
Pineapple shrimp fried rice. So. Friggin. Good.
Excellent food, excellent service. Great overall. I will definitely comeback many times.
Most amazing Thai food I've had in Pennsylvania
Amazing food and service!
If you plan to visit at prime time, I would strongly advise making a reservation. When we arrived, they were busy, but after they were able to seat us, they inquired about our reservations and let us know that there would be a short wait for meals because of this. Even yet, they continued to serve drinks swiftly, paid close attention, and immediately served the appetisers. The curry dumplings and puffs were outstanding. The majority of us had the fried rice, and the beef had an amazing flavour. The wait staff was on-hand the entire time. I would absolutely try something else from this menu. Despite being quite busy, they were professional and friendly, which I appreciate.
Great communication, they're willing to help you understand the menu options. The menu is sizeable, but not intimidating.
Food is always hot, portion sizes are medium-large, and anyways tastes great.
Atmosphere is great: a more dimly lit venue and there's never seemed to be issues with noise, including people.
Honestly, only way this could seek ANY improvement is for it to be cheaper: though it's very affordable to begin with!
The curry puffs are amazing!!
Great food. Pleasant service. Ambience was very nice.
so good!! my favorite is the chicken Satay (ap) and the Crispy Salmon. Really delicious!!!
Duck salad and chicken dumplings were amazing! Pad Thai is flavorful and not greasy.
Excellent food and amazing service! My brother picked this place for his birthday and we're so glad he did. We ordered all sorts of plates - calamari, curry puffs, papaya salad, clam strips, duck, pad ce aew, shrimp fried rice, and of course beverages & desserts. All so good!
Some of the best food I have ever had. Absolutely addicted to almost every item on the menu! Everyone is so friendly!
Great place. Family owned. I've gotten the honey duck, the sweet and sour chicken dish and several appetizers. Food is wonderful. Drinks are good.
Excellent Thai food. Very nice and cozy little place. Small bar as you walk in. You are greeted promptly. Service was also fantastic. Very nice spot for date night if you want a quieter and more intimate ambience.
Great Thai food at a nice local place!!
Very small place, but that contributes to their charm. Atmosphere is pleasant with Thai decor. There is a short bar with about six stools. The food was excellent, which matters most. Make reservations for parties over 2 people.
The calamari was delicious! So was everything else we had.
Nice neighborhood Thai with great food, friendly service and cozy atmosphere.
Definitely suggest making a reservation if you are going during peak hours.

I appreciate that they communicated and despite being very busy they were professional and courteous.
This place is the bees knees if you like Thai food. I’ve gone elsewhere, and it doesn’t hit. Love the drunken noodle, red curry, spring rolls, pad Thai. Do yourself a favor, and go here.
Simply best! Found this place while searching for something quick to eat and the food turned out to be marvelous. The first impression was made by the Thai ice tea which was perfectly made as it should be (Tea at the bottom & milk at the top). We ordered Jumbo shrimps for starters and I recommend this as a must try. For the main course, it was a drunken noodle. All the dishes were great and price was reasonable. If I ever visit the area back, this will be in my list!
Very disappointed!! We were supposed to have our Christmas party there tonight for 6pm and we called at 2:00pm to see if we could change the reservation to 630 instead, only to get a message they closed for the day! I get that things come up but no one even called to let us know, we would have shown up, some of us coming from Easton and we would have been there with no where to go. Not impressed since this is the first time for most of us. Not impressed!
Absolutely wonderful place for a delicious meal complimented by very friendly and polite staff. Very clean environment with fresh food. Would highly recommend!
Love that place 🥰🥰
Excellent
I had the Tom Yum soup with a mix of vegetables and tofu. I'm a vegetarian and there were several options for me. It was very spicy for me initially (I'm a mild spice person) and the waitress offered to take it back to adjust the spiciness. Very happy with my experience here.
Food was delicious
My husband loves this place great food
Excellent experience.
Really good food! We were there late afternoon on a Wednesday and it wasn't busy. Very quick and so good.
Loved the food! It was my first time trying Thai food and the experience was great. The atmosphere had intricate cultural decor, the service was great, the kitchen was fast, the food was amazing at a great price, and the staff was super friendly! Will definitely be returning soon!
Best Thai food in the area. I’ve been here many times and never had a bad experience
Wow, what a fantastic little Thai restaurant we just stumbled upon while walking through town. Excellent service, huge portions and the Thai iced tea is the best cocktail I have had in a long time!
Wonderful food!
I love it there. Great service and yummy food!
Absolutely delicious. Some of the best Thai food I’ve had. Fantastic service and fresh ingredients. 10/10
Consistently delicious Thai food. We order from Swadee regularly (usually takeout) and are happy every time. No complaints! Best we've had in the Lehigh Valley.
My husband and I LOVED the food here the first few times we went. Their food is very well made and flavorful and we were impressed with the ambiance inside and authenticity of their meals. We thought this would be our new go-to restaurant and have been here at least 4 or 5 times since moving to Emmaus a month ago. However after the experience we had today I can say we unfortunately will not be back. We called in for pickup two orders of chicken pad thai which is basically the only thing we order from there because we loved it so much. We got home and opened our dinners to find that they had not given us pad thai but drunken noodles. No big deal, mistakes happen, right? So my husband called the restaurant to let them know about the mix up and simply asked if he could bring the food back to switch it out for the correct order. The guy who answered the phone got extremely defensive and rude saying things like “Listen, I do this 5 days a week and I know what you said. I heard drunken noodles. You can exchange it but that’s not what you ordered”. We have literally NEVER ordered drunken noodles at any restaurant before in our lives and I was standing right next to him when he placed the order over the phone—he very clearly said pad thai with chicken. Instead of just apologizing for the mix up the guy continues to argue with him over the phone and insist that he is right and my husband was wrong and has no idea what he is talking about. Just fix the problem and move on! When we went back to the restaurant to switch out our food the guy was there to give us our food and again was extremely rude to my husband. My husband told him how disappointed he was after the way he was spoken to on the phone and there was no apology given, the man just stared at him and then said “If I didn’t believe you I wouldn’t have gone through all this trouble to remake it, okay???”. The way he spoke to us was just so extremely rude and disrespectful and we are beyond disappointed in the customer service we received. This place has good food but after the way we were spoken to today we will take our business elsewhere. Really a shame.
Simply excellent food!
I found this place through a recommendation from a sales clerk at a nearby business. I am so glad I found it!
I have had several of the appetizers, and they were delicious. The Thai dumplings are a favorite, as are the curry puffs. The spring rolls are also quite good. There is a combo offering that has all 3, which is perfect for sharing.
I have only had the Tom Kha soup and it was also delicious.
If you love Pad Thai, Swadee has the best I have ever had. The noodles are light, and the flavor of the dish is smooth but complex.
The service is excellent as well.
I found the prices to be very reasonable for the quality of the food. I don't live close by. But whenever I'm in the area I make it a point to eat here.
Have eaten here for years. Always a pleasure.
Excellent food; owners are so nice! Love coming here!
We were on our trip to the Poconos for 4th of July weekend.We went little out of way to have lunch at this restaurant as were are fans of Thai food. The restaurant has good ambience with Thai decors etc.
We have ordered our usually favorite Thai entree, the green curry with vegetables with extra tofu. It costed a pricy $19+ for each entree.
We found the vegetables tasted stale. Needless to say we are disappointed and won't return here.
Very tasty, fresh food. I enjoyed chicken satay, curry puffs and panang curry
A solid, yummy Thai restaurant which serves adult beverages in the center of Emmaus! The food was fresh and tasty with just a hint of heat (as my dining partner requested). The menu could be a bit more extensive but there's definitely something for everyone, and the staff was friendly and helpful, and I will be returning again to try something different the next time I'm in the area.
Tom and his family are the best!
Go see them if you want real Thai food!!!
Not this American thia food
This is real real Thai! I eat here 10 times a month! At least!
Go go go now!
What a great little place! We stopped in on a whim and we loved it! The decor was beautiful and the food was fantastic. We had the Thai spring rolls, the Tom Ka soup and the Chicken Sa-tay to start. All three were wonderful. My picky 5 year old even loved it! For an entree we had the homestyle duck which was cooked to perfection. Overall, an amazing experience! We will be sure to be back!
I think that Thai food is both delicious (When prepared right like they do here) and healthy. Love the way they cook it, love the spices, and in general love mushrooms. Easy 5 stars.
Masaman curry! So delicious!
Food is always good. One of our go-to’s for take out. Only reason for the 4/5 is because they are closed on Monday and Tuesday and I always crave this place on a Monday for some reason.
I usually just get a few appetizers . They give you several sauces for the selections. Try the combo and the dumplings. Delicious!!
One of the best Thai restaurant in the area. There are 2 others that frequent but this one takes the cake.
The menu options are outstanding, definitely more seafood items to choose from.
The Crispy Salmon and the Lemongrass Seafood are amazing and my favorites.
The drunken noodles are also a favorite.
The owners are wonderful and always friendly. The prices are also reasonable. This has to be one of my best lunch spots and always consistent in every visit.
I had sweet and sour with chicken. It was far from the best I've had but it was ok
Good food and good service. It's a nice place.
The food here is always always great however I just got the lobster pad Thai and my lobster is mushy As ever overcooked and the shrimp has no flavor super disappointing
Increible food and place is immaculate clean! We went for lunch and their lunch menu is very good and affordable! I love the food and the service! Definitely coming back!!!
Excellent food! Large menu to choose from.
Cozy and charming. Food was excellent. Had takeout. Will be returning for dine in experience.
Amazing food!!! Love it!!!
Needed to find a place for dinner on our day trip home. Discovered this place from Google map. I ordered the chef special shrimp and eggplants. It was so good. I wish we live close by and could eat there often.
The food is fantastic!!! Pad Thai, fried rice curry puffs were all great!!
Great food, portions at fair prices! Atmosphere is authentic and clean. The staff is friendly and prompt. Definitely repeat customers!
Excellent food. Atmosphere is nice. It is intimate, cozy spacing but not tight. Generous appetizer portions & selection. Staff is very friendly. Clean. My preferred Thai restaurant of the area at this time.
Food is delicious as usual, service is always excellent, one of my favorite restaurants!!
Came to this place. It was freezing asked them to sit away from the window but it was a table set for four and it was only the two of us. The whole restaurant was empty. The lady rude said usually they don’t give this table for two people. Never had this experience before anywhere else. We walked out. You can imagine if they are that selfish about making guest comfortable especially with a reasonable request -how selfish would they be in their cleanliness or food quality- they’d skimp on it. SKIP THIS ONE!
Excellent food and service!! We will definitely go back!
Highly recommend the Drunken Noodles. I have gotten it multiple times and have never been disappointed. If you like spicy, like me, go above medium. Sweet and Sour wings are great too.
Fantastic Thai food. Drunken Noodle is amazing. If you like desserts you have to try sticky rice
Great Thai food. Red Curry and the Massaman Curry are excellent.
One of the best Thai restaurant in the town with variety of options for vegetarians. Definitely try the Thai Iced Coffee, Drunken Noodles and Pad Cashew Nut.
Came here for the first time with a group of 5. Normally we’ll find a joint in Bethlehem, but with our usual spots being closed, we found this place online and we’re drawn in by the reviews and pictures.
We were immediately treated like regulars, and they adjusted some of the appetizer sizes to accommodate our groups size & one vegetarian. The food was quick, delicious, and high quality. Definitely recommend this place and will be back for future Thai nights!!
Excellent food. Great price on lunch specials
Drunken noodles were great, and spring rolls were cooked very well with a good plum sauce
Food is always delicious!
Pretty nice place, great food, cozy environment, and good prices. Would recommend
The food and service are amazing, even if they are short staffed. Highly recommend!
Great place to eat. Delicious food
Excellent service meon and Don were good host
Great place in Emmaus pa
